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!

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (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?
