Pancake Monday- Special Iced In Edition

Today I served up Christmas pancakes for breakfast since the kids where home again and reflected on what happened over the long iced in weekend.  Think of it like my scatter shooting of the week.  Here is what I have in the barrel this week:

*Great College football season.  We end up with only one undefeated team to close out this season before the playoff format takes over next season.  It is always great to see Nick Saban stomp off the field like a mad four year old after a game.  I bet he puts a cover guy on long field goals from now on.  All right Florida State, time to see what you got.

*The local DFW weathermen are 1 for 2 in calling storms so far.  They whiffed badly for last weekend's storm prediction but made up for that calling this past weekend's perfect.  Four days, many cancelled events, two missed school and work at home days, and we there are still having many traffic issues out there today.  Over all it was a nice weekend as we did not suffer any injuries or damages, ate a lot of comfort food, and got many Christmas movies watched.

*I do not watch the Dallas Cowboys much anymore and since they are 7-5 everyone has playoff aspirations.  They are a not a good team and have the worst Cowboys' defense of all time.  I think 8-8 is a good record for this team with all the injuries they have incurred and the coaching they receive.

*Black Friday shopping has turned into idiocracy.   I can usually find what I am looking for in the store at nine on Friday morning instead of Thursday at six in the evening.  Oh and for all you people calling in Brown Thursday it is actually called Thanksgiving.

* The Rangers have ended the past two seasons with a thud and kicked Nolan Ryan out to the curb.  Real Rangers fans are a bit discouraged so the Rangers know they need to make an impact this off-season unlike last off-season.  So they start with a monster trade in doing a classic one for one trade in swapping second baseman Ian Kinsler for Detroit first baseman Prince Fielder and 30 million to pay part of his contract later on .  This definitely should boost the offense that was horrible last season.  It also gives Jurickson Profar the chance to be any everyday player now.  Word is Fielder wore out his welcome in Detroit only after two seasons so hopefully a fresh start somewhere else and the homerun porch will help him out.

* Yes, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are Christmas movies.
