Congratulations NY Giants

February 3, 2008

Nice Super Bowl win New Yorkers.

All this week, I fully intended to yell for Texas Techsan Wes Welker and his New England teammates. But when the game started, I found myself rooting for the Giants.

You’d think since they’re in the Cowboys division and beat us in the playoffs, I’d be holding a grudge. But my allegiance to the NFC won out; that and the fact that I tend to go with the underdogs.

Yeah, like a lot of football fans, I was pretty sick of all the hype about the Cheatriots Patriots.

Now all that’s left is the wait for all those inevitable Eli and Peyton commercials that are probably going to start filming next week.

No more excuses. It’s on your shoulders Mr. Romo.

We cut you some slack last year with that field goal snap fumble against the Seahawks. You were new. Romo Mania was still running rampant.

Then as this season wound down, your girlfriend took the heat. Give me a break. I didn’t see Jessica down there on the field in her pink #9 jersey throwing incomplete passes.

So if you’ll excuse me, Tony, for mixing sports metaphors, you’ll be facing a third strike when the 2008 season kicks off. Don’t screw it up!

I need a new Super Bowl Champion T-shirt!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)

  • My great-nephew is, I’m sorry to admit, a Yankee. But he not only follows football, he is a Cowboys fan! He’s all of 4 years old and can cite “Tomo” stats, as he calls his hero. Oh, Tony, you let my darling nephew down. He even wears your jersey! Now, letting me down is one thing. Disappointing my great-nephew is another. Shape up, boy! You really don’t want me to have to come up there, do you?
