WEEKLY REMINDER ON WHY I LOVE THE LITTLE BAR

- Great trip home. The entire month of December caught up to me on Christmas Day as I went through a non-drinking induced funk all day. It's one of the oddest days I've ever had. Slept 'til 11 a.m., napped from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and then went to bed at 11:30 p.m. ODD.

- I did not go outside for one second on Christmas nor did I shower.

- I got a new comforter for my bed (amazing), a Rose Bowl ticket, headphones, a picture frame and a sweater for Christmas. Being 31 ... I was 13 during my last real "gift getting" Christmas ... that year I got a REALISTIC portable CD player that's about as big as a computer printer.



- I love college bowl season.

- Had a fantastic Sunday Night Drinking last night.

- Watched "Dumb and Dumber" ... that movie is fucking hilarious. I've seen it a bunch but probably not in about five years. After watching "The Hangover" again this weekend, "Dumb and Dumber" blows it away although it's hilarious how un-hot those bikini models look at the end of the movie. I'm convinced there were no hot chicks before 2002. Also, I am going to have to say it ... "The Hangover" is a tad bit overrated.

- I leave for LAX in about 72 hours. Part of the reason I'm excited to go is just to post lyrics from "Party in the USA" on my Facebook status upon arrival.

- PLEASE NFL, no more "NFC East Match up of the Week Every Week" next year on SNF and MNF.

- Sad we only have one more Little Bar Sunday to go. Without Adam around on Sundays (sad), it's a little less lawless (sad), but there's so much rampant gambling, swearing, shot-taking, I can't get enough. I was the only one in the bar yesterday from about 12:45 p.m. to 1:10 p.m. (I got to pick every game on TV ... my motto was "Fuck the NFC.") I went with Raiders-Browns on the huge TV (sound), and went with KC-Cincy, Balt-Pit, Jax-NE, Houston-Miami ... and switched from Jax-NE to New Orleans late. Molly and Jess had their normal 3-for-4, with five RBI and two steals game behind the bar. On the cute scale (1-10), Molly checks in without about a 42. Also had a guy upstairs (?!?) who bet the Packers so he watched upstairs. YEAH BABY is maybe my favorite SUNDAY DEGENERATE WHO DRINKS AT BARS ON SUNDAYS. As you know, the only Hall of Famers ever are The Last of the Mohicans ('07), Bear ('07), Marshawn ('08), Steelers Guy ('08) and YEAH BABY ('09). He was in rare form yesterday and we all ordered Adriaticos. It was great. I stayed until about 5:30 p.m. I think and it was like a fucking blizzard outside. I had no clue despite there being 100 windows in The Little Bar. Can't wait for one last go-around next weekend. ... And then another one for the BCS National Championship game.

- Thoughts on OSU-WVU on Saturday, Jan. 23?
