Once again your faithful fan planted himself in front of the television and hoped for a bargain Monday Night Football. I really wanted to see what the hype was all about in regards to a new stadium and I was impressed. Well spent $450 million to put a new bird in a new cage. Cards being 1-4, even though being at home did not look promising since they were playing the number one team in the NFL Chicago Bears. The atmosphere right from the start favored Arizona with the noise level that would match any stadium in the nation. It looked like a giant pizza spread with sauce and a few patches of sausages here and there representing the Bear fans. The roof was open and the birds were ready to fly, and fly they did. To everyone’s surprise they shut out Bears in the first half leading 20-0 with Leinart throwing for two TD’s and defense with 4 turnovers. I am sure everyone in America including the players themselves never imagined being up by 20 on the only undefeated team left. I hung out before running to the fridge to see the Jay-Z video (YAWN). Looked liked just another semi educated rapper that got together with some powerful Jews and learned the corporate ropes, but that is another article all together. Besides listening to Tony Kornheisers babble, who most likely couldn’t make the girls cheerleading squad in high school, tell me about football.

Back from the fridge and looked like I didn’t miss much at all, same people still rambling on about things that have nothing to do with the game or football. What a team they have assembled. I can get passed the two ladies doing the sideline interviews with players. I mean, since they have so much experience playing the game of football or paying with football players why wouldn’t you hire two lovely women to work “the sideline”. Anyway here comes the second half and this is where the bird’s wing broke .

Mr. Green started to work the clock without realizing there is still 30 minutes left in the game. I am not sure why you would go away from a game plan that gave you a 20-0 lead and start running the ball with a running back is known to fumble in key situations. Gee, you think Colts let go of a 1000-yard rusher because they hate to run?

As you can see there is a history of Mr. James fumbling in key situations which is about roughly 30% of the time. Not the guy you want running the ball when you are trying to run out the clock. Green as a coach has been known for his conservative nature and maybe that is the reason why he is in Arizona and Vikings are 3-2. I wish he had put some of that anger on the field and channeled it to his player rather then the press after the game. I don’t think green will be with Cards next year, mostly because of his decisions made during the Bear game. This was a perfect chance to show the fans that there is hope with a new QB and some star additions on the team birds will fly some day. Instead they turned into salmon that was too weak to make it up the stream and got eaten by the big bad Bear.

Three fast-food restaurant workers were taken into custody Sunday evening after two police officers discovered that the hamburgers they had ordered had been sprinkled with marijuana.

The Isleta Police Department officers were had eaten about half of their burgers from a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas before realizing that something was wrong. Opening the burgers, they discovered marijuana sprinkled on top of the meat.

“One of the officers, when he was eating his hamburger, he said, ‘This thing tastes like it has marijuana in it,’” said Lieutenant Joseph Sanchez of the Los Lunas Police Department. “And that’s when he opened it up to see what was inside.”

The officers used a field test kit, which confirmed that the green, leafy substance was pot.

Officials say that the officers began acting odd after ingesting the marijuana and their sergeant sent them to a hospital for a medical evaluation.

The three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, which is a felony. They’ve been identified as 19-year-old Justin Armijo, 21-year-old Robert Nuckols and their manager, 33-year-old Joseph Ledefma.
