The Nut's Are Falling From the Family Tree...

I know it's been nearly a month since I've posted anything, but I really haven't had the desire, and nothing really amazing has happened to post about. However there IS something that happened over last night and today that was rather interesting. I got into an argument with a family member over football.

Now here's the deal, I try not to worry TOO much about other people's opinions on sports teams, because after all, there ARE 32 teams in the NFL, 30 in the MLB, 30 in the NHL, 30 in the NBA and countless golfers and race car drivers. With that said, my uncle from the east coast decides to start a little facebook fire with how the Denver/Pittsburg game was a fluke, and how Denver truly showed up yesterday against the Patriots. I kindly reminded him that Denver is still a quite young franchise, especially with a quarterback that had a lot of ground to cover after Orton was wrongly handling the team.

But instead of a play by play of me typing it out...here's a few screenshots of the convo.

Overall, it's relatively laughable that Rich and Tom got worked up over this. I complimented both teams, and yet they couldn't wrap their foamtarded little heads around the fact that Denver has done a lot of positives this year too, despite some shaky negatives. The funny part of this? About an hour ago Rich unfriended me on facebook. There was more to this conversation that I unfortunately didn't get to screenshot, but it got a bit more personal on his side, calling my dad out and such. My dad is  6'1, and pretty stinking muscular for his age. These guys are in their late 20's, stacked with beer guts and don't get out much on the athletic side. Yet Rich said he was the better athlete in the family...when he never stepped foot on a football field competitively. Whereas my dad has, and on top of that coached multiple football teams to championships. Huh. 

All in all, family is crazy sometimes. These two prove that. I know some might question my motives for calling out family as such on my blog, especially given the way news and links spread over the globe with a click of a button. However I feel that a lot of my life's stories are relatable to at least someone else out there, and for that, I post. 

Now I gotta stick to my branch in this family tree. Don't want to fall any more than these two have...
