This past weekend was the final contest for the 2009 season of the Washed Up Former College Football Players League and I had only limited rooting interests. J.D. from Indiana combined with the pure, unbridled obnoxiousness of pretty much every New Orleans fan ever meant that I’d have liked the Colts to win, but I [...]
I’m busy digesting the meat-splosion that resulted from the programmer’s weekly trip to the Brazilian BBQ near the office. We tried a new venue today which was alright, but I think we’re going to stick with the old standard in the future. I also have to prepare myself for Mexican Food Night1. While we’re talking about [...]

This post has nothing to do with Beethoven. Sorry. It was just the first thing I could think of that started with ‘B’ and had the number of syllables that my brain seemed to want to put in the title. I have been a busy Pete this weekend! Friday was my most productive day of work [...]
College football Saturday is upon us. I will be keeping up with the games. Here are the teams (other than Alabama) that I have decided should1 win today: Mississippi State (over LSU) — LSU is one of ‘Bama’s big competitors in the SEC West. The more conference losses they take, the better. Also, they smell like [...]
This pup is R-E-A-D-Y. Glory be, it’s football season! We’ve been waiting for eight months for this, and it’s finally here. The FSU/Miami game last night was awesome.

On the down side, I was planning on having some free days this week, so I’ll have to re-arrange some things. I [...]
I’m still not sure what I think about Vick’s reinstatement. I’m really, really happy that Atlanta released him. I’m not really much of a Falcons fan, but if they had let him back on the roster, there’s no way I’d ever be able to cheer for them. If I were the commissioner, he’d never play in [...]
Remember to observe the Three D’s:
Today’s gold star is actually not here on PeteHoliday.com but over at Roll Bama Roll where I wrote 1,700 words on the latest NCAA infractions nonsense. I will say that the authors at RBR have this infractions case locked down . . . pretty much every detail, from every conceivable angle is covered at length. The [...]
Note: In this post I will attempt to describe my weekend by using each and every one of the 86 words that were submitted by my certifiably insane readers on this post. Such words will be italicized. PS: I took some liberties. It’s called “art”. Get over it. In college, weekends were when I would get [...]
