 Paul Pabst reenacting the Headless Horseman. |
Dan Patrick Show producer Paul Pabst takes a unique look at the best and worst from the weekend every Monday ...
1. Great way to start the weekend. Got flowers for the wife and then took her to dinner on Friday night. This gives me the sports hall pass for the rest of the weekend. Trust me, you have to lay groundwork on Friday if you want to watch 14 hours of sports on Saturday.
2. The end of the Bears-Falcons game. Kyle Orton throws an impressive TD pass to seemingly win the game with 11 seconds left. My buddy Dane and I (both Bears fans) high-five and start talking about the playoffs before the game was over. Add in that I texted "ORTON!" to DP right before the final kickoff. I was guilty of premature celebration. I should have thought about algebra to keep that from happening.
3. Tony Stewart hipped me to this one. Keep some "perceived" bad beer on your fridge and nobody will take it. I had a case of Schlitz chilling in the fridge on Friday. Friends stopped by during the weekend and took some of the "high end" beer ... Harpoon -- Hoegaarden ... etc.
4. The Sox-Rays game on Saturday night. Yeah, I was up well past 1 a.m. (and not at a bar) watching this back-and-forth game. Isn’t it great though, when you invest the hours into a game like this and you get the payoff of a good ending?
5. DirecTV carried me through Sunday with all the great endings to the early games. I was switching channels so fast, I may have pulled a muscle in my 'remote hand.' Speaking of DTV ... check this out -- www.displacedfansearch.com. They have these sweet new team-specific remotes. So with my Bears remote I’m not pressing "48" ... I’m pressing "Steve Fuller-Vince Evans."
6. A perfect Saturday in New England. Driving a Volvo to a Jones Farm in Shelton, Conn., to pick out a few pumpkins for the house. All I needed was a sweater tied around my neck and a yellow lab ... I’m a bit disgusted with myself for how preppy that is. The bonus, bringing home fresh apple cider and oatmeal raisin cookies in time to watch Oklahoma-Texas. Rack me, I’m out. |
