Here is the weekend review:

Weekend Ball: Chan Gailey. After a tumultous week at Georgia Tech, probations, weird legal decisions, and a controversial extension to his contract he led the Jackets to an improbable upset victory in the Orange Bowl against No. 3 Miami.

Weekend Goat: Well, it looked as if the Falcons defense had this one all wrapped up. They couldn't stop Tampa Bay at all in the second half and at the end of the 4th Quarter gave up 10 points in the final two minutes in the loss. But like in football, you can't call it until the whole weekend is over. And around 10 o'clock last night I ran my car into a light post outside the movie theater and busted up my front bumper. So, folks, I am the goat of the weekend.

Quote you never thought you'd hear:
"Elliott, I have your photo Cds" --Todd Grandominico, after viscously, vehemently, and violently denying for weeks he still had my cds. This quote actually started a chain of events which caused my fender bender last night.


Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down Segment:

THUMBS UP: Linda "MM" "Big L" Grandominico for showing up large in the ATL and hanging out with all her son's friends despite her son being there.

THUMBS UP: Georgia Bulldogs for shaking off two losses and beating Kentucky to earn a spot in the SEC Championship game.

THUMBS DOWN: Alabama, for a tough loss to Auburn.

THUMBS UP: Troy Smith, for leading the Buckeyes to victory in the last minute over much hated Michigan

THUMBS DOWN: Jennifer Caran, for a lame excuse on Saturday night (this seems to be a recurring theme).

THUMBS UP: Johanna, for making it out all 3 nights of the weekend.
THUMBS DOWN: Joanna, where the hell has she been?

THUMBS UP: Jeff and Eddie for good spirited discussion on how Greg Blue is overrated.
THUMBS UP: Brian Williams, for wearing an a scarlet and grey tie on the NBC Nightly News the day before the OSU-Michigan Game.

THUMBS DOWN: The Atlanta Falcons, for losing for the second week in a row at home. THUMBS UP: To Oklahoma and Tennessee for finally sucking the way they always should.

THUMBS UP: To Howard Kalin, who is still travelling to make his destination of New Zealand
THUMBS DOWN: To Boss, who wouldn't look Howard in the eye when he was trying to say goodbye to her.
