Couch Potato Blitz: Week 13 Fantasy Edition Week 13 of fantasy football! Some of us are down to our final week of the regular season and some of us have one more week to clinch that final playoff spot. Either way, all of the time we have spent researching, watching, and wishing is down to the wire. I have done my homework and I am confident in the players I have chosen to for week 13 start’em and sit’em. For anyone out there who would like to discuss my decisions, or ask about players I fail to cover in the…

Today, Georgia fired it’s Defensive Coordinator (Willie Martinez) and 2 other defensive assistants and I have to say I’m surprised. I just went off on Monday about how UGA wasn’t going to win anything coming out of their defeat of Georgia Tech because they would bide their time with the Assistants they had instead of moving people around or doing SOMETHING about their problems…I guess Mark Richt or the school administration had other ideas. With the Defense getting a complete overhaul this puts Georgia in a much better position than I thought they were a couple days ago.  (No one…

Tuesday night, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Magic Johnson announced that he would be joining former Timberwolves owner Tim Leiweke and AEG in an effort to bring an NFL franchise to Los Angeles. According to Minnesota Vikings vice president of public affairs, Lester Bagley, the Midwest NFL franchise has been targeted recently by AEG. In 2009, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf and management toured L.A. Live (an entertainment complex in the cit), but Bagley says that was only to get ideas to build a similar complex in Minnesota. The Vikings are in the final year of their lease and Bagley says they…

The Miami Heat have gotten off to a disappointing start with a 9-8 record. Even for people with realistic expectations of the difficulties involved in acclimating an entire roster to a new system, it has been disappointing. There were several questions surrounding the highly hyped team. Who would play point guard, did they have enough big men, and how would the ball sharing work? The biggest pre-season question was whether or not Erik Spoelstra was the head coach for this team. Team president Pat Riley was the engineer and architect for what people were calling a super-team. Many of us…

I know, you’ve probably never heard of teff. I hadn’t either until three years ago when I started reading the blog of a friend with adopted children who still makes their Ethiopian favorites. There, among the exotic names and beautiful faces, was a tiny little grain with big fat nutrition. Since that time, I’ve come to regard teff as the most nutritious grain you’ve never heard of. It’s so healthy that it’s used to treat malnutrition in Africa. It’s so small that 150 grains equal the size of one kernel of wheat. Today, I hope you’ll come to recognize its…

The San Francisco 49ers lost RB Frank Gore for the season to a broken hip. Gore was hurt on the Niners first series, but returned to the game briefly before he was forced out by pain. He had 5 carries for 52-yards in the 27-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Gore’s replacement, veteran Brian Westbrook, filled in with 136-yards rushing and a touchdown. Westbrook had only nine yards rushing entering Monday’s game, but it looks like he will receive the bulk of the carries with the injury to Gore. Gore finished the season with 853-yards rushing and 452-yard receiving. This…

Mindi Smith is as decorated a bodybuilder as she is stunningly beautiful. She has a contest history of 2009 WBFF World Championships – 5th place Pro Fitness; 2009 NPC Sacramento – 1st place Figure; 2009 NPC Nationals – 1st place Overall Figure; 2010 IFBB Phoenix Pro – 1st place Figure; 2010 IFBB Figure International – 4th place; and 2010 IFBB Europa Super Show – 7th place Figure. She started lifting weights and working out at the gym during her senior year of high school after being involved in cross country, track & field, basketball, and volleyball. She turned to the…

On Monday a source confirmed to ESPN.com’s Joe Schad that Texas Christian University would join the Big East conference effective 2012. TCU currently plays in the Mountain West Conference and has a 12-0 record placing them third in the BCS standings. By switching to the Big East, TCU would automatically qualify for a major BCS bowl game with their current record. Without the Boise State loss on Saturday night to Nevada it is likely TCU would have been forced out of an opportunity to play in a major BCS bowl game. There is still the possibility that TCU could play…

We had some changes in life over the last two weeks, but not such big changes on the scale. I’m surprisingly OK with that, given how busy life has been. I started Rolfing, changed gyms, and took a more moderate approach to my weight loss efforts. New Digs I joined a different gym, and the class menu is exciting. There are almost 70 classes per week, giving me zero excuses to skip. The childcare area is lovely, though the new baby has to be three months old before she’s allowed to go. Given that we’re heading into cold and flu…

The University of Miami has got to be the stupidest college in America.  I don’t care if it’s a private school.  I don’t care if they have “good programs,” and I certainly don’t care that they used to have Butch Davis, Larry Coker, Dennis Erickson and Jimmy Johnson coaching them. They don’t now, and that’s their problem.  They think it’s still 1991 and they should be undefeated, etc.  They think they should own the college football landscape.  They think they should be almighty and powerful (and they forget that they lost the national title in 2002 to Ohio State.  I…
