Early Schedule Look and TV

One of my favorite things to do when the Packers schedule comes out, is to go through it, and predict what the record will be. Here's how I see it.

Worst Case Scenario (multiple starts from Flynn/Brohm, defense is somehow worse, Deshawn Wynn is the leading rusher, Cutler/Rosenfels/Stafford are spectacular): 3-13

Best Case Scenario (A-Rodg is an all pro, defense is top 5, Ryan Grant goes for 1,800, Cutler/Rosenfels/Stafford do what I think they will): 13-3

Gut Feeling (somewhere in between): 10-6, contend for division title, may or may not win it or make the playoffs

The beginning of the schedule is pretty easy looking on paper. The end is much tougher. Besides the divisional games, I'm most looking forward to the Baltimore Monday nighter as far as home games go. Although both teams could be bad.

TV STUFF:

So now that I'm back to working normal hours, and the Bucks continue to get priority over the Brewers for reasons that nobody can adequately explain to me, I have more of an opportunity to watch TV. I saw an episode of Family Guy from March sometime, with Oage in it. That was probably the funniest ending to a show of any kind ever. Genius.

Also, I would like to make a recommendation if you haven't seen it yet. "Better Off Ted". Great fucking show. Alot like Arrested Development, which might have been the second greatest non-cartoon TV comedy ever. No plot whatsoever.

It is loosely about a large corporation, and funny shit that goes on in the Office. It is kind of like the Office when the Office used to be funny (although the last two episodes of the Office were great). The shows aren't intertwined, so you can pretty much watch them in whatever order you want, although the background jokes are repeated. Anyway, if you are looking to fill a half hour void, give it a shot. There aren't many shows that make me laugh out loud any more (especially new one), but this one does.

Sneak preview: The last show I watched, the company installed a new motion sensory system to turn on lights and open doors, turn on the bubblers and shit, although the new sensors couldn't see black people. So instead of fixing the system (too expensive) they hired white people to follow around the black people to turn on the lights. They also installed manual bubblers with a sign above it that said "for blacks". Can't recommend it enough. It will be cancelled I'm sure.

When Michael left to make his own company I thought the Office had jumped the shark, but if they keep up Dwight and Andy's new friendship, they could easily roll out another season of random stupidity and hilarity

The new company thing was actually what made it funny. The office in the janitors closet, the sewage pipe running through it, the random "shoe bitch" blast to Ryan at the bowling alley.
