And you got to see this:

I can't see whatever that is at the bottom. I'm using Chrome, that might be why...

Yeah, Goff is going to come back down to earth too. Your team made him look like Kurt Warner, that was as shameful as the Saints making SAM BRADFORD look like Dan Marino. 

And now the Minnesota hype train begins!! 

Here's my guarantee ahead of time...If the Vikings do make the playoffs, I promise that they will lose and either blame it all on the field goal kicker (1998 NFCCG vs Atlanta, vs Seattle a few years ago), or the refs (Drew Pearson hail mary!!!) or something stupid like 'Bountygate' (Saints NFCCG)....I hate this team and their whiny fans so much, cause nothing is ever their fault. They can never just take responsibility for losing. No, it's always someone else's fault or they make up a conspiracy like they did with Bountygate. They're the Hillary Clinton of NFL teams - they think they've automatically won in the playoffs before the game is even played, and then have a laundry list of people and things to blame when it don't go their way. 

GO PACK GO...WIN THAT EASY DIVISION AND SEND THEM HOME CRYING IN PURPLE RAIN. 

Cavs have firepower coming back for playoff time as mentioned in this video. 

Sadly, the King probably won't win MVP cause Russell Westbrook is still averaging a triple double in every game. 

Would rather give MVP to little Isaiah Thomas. Celtics are second in the east too while the Thunder are 7th in the West.

And yeah the Cavs will be better later. Keep an eye on the Raptors though too since the Celtics struggle with them as well. Had Celtics/Raptors on last night and the C's were up by 17 at one point but still ended up losing the game.

There was a Celtics game last week I didn't see where they played the Bulls and everyone went nuts on how jobbed the Celtics got at the end of the game. Bulls are 7th in the east I just seen, so Boston or Cleveland may get them in the first round of the playoffs.

Cleveland would be fine, but this is why I worry about Boston. 

He was in a lot of stuff. Voice actor too, and mostly known for TV shows like Crossing Jordan and NCIS. One of those little known names lurking in movies putting up memorable performances as secondary characters. 

He actually was in Miami Vice twice. He's in season 5, I just don't have the DVD set to do a screen cap. He had a little part in season 4, but an episode where he played a villain in season 5. 

He was a big villain for NCIS, which fans of that series were worried months ago when his last appearance had him slurring lines and speaking badly. They thought he suffered a stroke but he died of throat cancer and had been suffering for a while. 

Heard he was such a very nice guy in real life. As may he RIP!

Thanks for your additional insights on actor Miguel Ferrer Bogie. I apologize for not replying sooner. I have to be in the right mood to stroll through status updates. I wasn't ignoring you or anything like that. 

Yeah, voice over work can be quite lucrative too. A distinctive voice can generate a nice, steady paycheck long after Hollywood bad boy roles start drying up. 

Man it doesn't seem like it has been a year! RIP

May he RIP!

The small talk banter between Chewy & Han after the wookie is released from confinement is awesome like 2 best friends who pretend to get on each other nerves but would do anything to save the other 1 if he had to. 

That's why I love that scene in Empire Strikes Back just before Han is frozen in carbonite . A lot of people focus on Solo's line to Leah "I know" regarding her love for Han, which is funny. However, what resonates with me in that scene is Han telling Chewy "You have to take care of the Princess now. There will be another time [when we fight back] okay." 

Han the macho guy shares a brief tender moment with Chewbacca just before handcuffs get placed on him where the audience can feel the devotion Solo has to Chewy that goes deeper than a best friend. It's a brotherhood man & both Han & Chewy would do anything to protect the other one. When Chewy moans after Han is frozen, we feel his pain as an audience. 

Your Star Wars fan film briefly tapped into that devotion to the other one. When Han & Chewy are walking off saying "lets go get the Millennium Falcon back" I laughed. 

Chewy isn't just some loyal sidekick or pet. He's family & a brother from another mother to Solo. He's an equal in Han's eyes. Although Solo would never say it out loud, Chewy means more to him than loot, money, adventure, loose women, his ship, or his own safety. 

Not enough writers focus their attention on the dynamic between Han Solo & Chewbacca in my estimation. 

When I seen this video, I was so impressed with the actor playing Han. He nails the body language, the facial expression, the snarky smart butt style of his speech and pretty much everything. There is a true sense of love for the character and Star Wars in general within that video. 

I especially love when he points his finger and says "now, we made a deal!" That is sooooooo Harrison Ford. The actor playing him in this video definitely did his home work and studied that stuff to nail it down to a T. 

In love with Star Wars right now, I feel like my childhood has been resurrected and with the erasing of the terrible prequels. Rogue One was awesome, it was so much better than the Force Awakens. 

Well said Bogie. The guy playing Solo in that clip does do a marvelous job & encapsulating his gambling/risk taking persona down as well as honoring a gentlemen's agreement between thieves & smugglers to a T my friend. 

I trust your film critic reviewing skills Bogie. So, a thumbs up from you regarding 'Rogue One' means a lot & it carries considerable weight to me. It sounds like the plot represents something new, fresh, & original for once. Sweet! 

Romo is in a back brace and he has a broken bone in his neck and the team still is not giving up him coming back later. Sigh......

He got hurt last year twice and gets hurt in his first preseason drive. Very sad stuff. And he has been hurt in the past before too as we know.

I hope Dak is ready, he looked good in preseason so far but he is so young and now he has Cowboys nation wanting him to become the next big thing.

I was looking for a suprise NFC team, perhaps it can be the Cowboys with Dak instead of the Rams with Goff? Rams look to have some issues on offense big time still. And I have had no idea who to pick to win the NFC East.

Rams are planning to start Case Keenum again week 1 and thats a good thing for Goff but this hardly spells out PLAYOFFS. And the Rams o line is GARBAGE. Keenum actually almost got hurt vs. Denver in preseason too.

I am lost on the NFC East, can the Boys win it? Or is this a dream worth not even trying for?

And the Vikings are doomed as we called, curse of the Purple 2016.

Sorry to hear that you suffer from Chronic back pain like Tony Romo Bogie. 

I agree that Dak Prescott is the Cowboys future. I still deplore Dallas as a football team, but Dak is extremely talented as a QB & a nice kid. 

I love your Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker picture & all, but given my disdain for Dallas in general, I couldn't bring myself to like your 1st post. Sorry my friend. I did like another one though. 

lol thanks, I have had a good few days and nights. No drinking really but it's been nice.

You guys are great!

A few gifts I got included a Colts teddy bear, Colts purse and a Kobe Lakers jersey.

Hey Jules, 

I'm a little late to the party here. I'm glad you received some nice presents from family & friends though. 

Thanks as always for your sharp, witty comebacks Jules. Major props to Bogie to notifying us when Jules deserves some much needed recognition on her birthday. 

Thank you southwest!

Oh I see, somehow that didn't register with me with the 50 cents and half dollar thing. 

Never saw Southpaw. 

I have a weak spot for boxing films. I typically hate sports related dramas, but I can sit through a boxing film. 

Million Dollar Baby is the last boxing movie I really remember analzying and sitting through. 

It just sounds dumb, I get the marketing perspective but I hate when the same thing is changed with names over and over again. Blah.

I know, and they do it over everything. I go to the club and hear "dub step" which is really just House dance played with better equipment. "Retro wave" is the synth pop/new wave of the 80's. 

"Duh step"? Now my intelligence truly IS being insulted.........

I love Kickers and Punters

Our punter is the best and nobody can take this away from us.

And our kicker is sexy and a legend.

I can't remember the last time the Saints had a good kicker. Carney was inconsistent, Hartley was a joke, and that guy that missed the extra points this year, worse.

Yes. House was awesome. It sucks it went off the air. But I'm like you. Still watch the old ones.

A very good show Bogie. I liked his supreme confidence & ability to challenge people in unconventional & clever ways.

His character was very charming. I wonder what Hugh Laurie has been doing since it ended. I know he produced a Blues album a while back, and he's always got music projects going on. Very likable guy off screen.

Watch season 1 instead, it's far better. Matthew M and Woody Harrelson are incredible too. 2nd season had a lot to live up to, but I thought it was great.

Vince and Colin deserve Emmys!

Yes they do! That was the finest acting I have seen all year. They lived up to the high expectations Matthew M and Woody Harrelson left behind. Colin and Vince were terrific

Righteous Bogie! Check this out...

Very cool indeed!

They look awesome. I'm a sucker for anything purple, have always wanted a purple guitar.

They put it on the Classic Vibe 60's strats that are affordable. And that's the best thing about going cheap on guitars, you get a better selection of colors. Fender is so overpriced these days, I doubt I will ever buy anything from them again. I just don't see where an American made strat is worth 1,200 dollars.

Matching headstock too

I had a discussion about neon colors with guitars with someone last week. It is cool to see all those bright colors making comebacks.

did you record it? lol

Yes! The Colts won & they beat Dallas to boot! Excuse me, while I do my happy dance in my office chair. Woo Hoo!

No I don't know how to record games. It was a crappy game though. The Colts lone TD came from a blocked punt by some unknown DB by the name of Jason Belser. I blocked 2 punts, that was 10 points, of my total 16. Dallas could have won the game after a Jeff George pick put them at the Colts 30, and they got down to the 22 but Lin Elliot missed it. That set up the George drive that resulted in the 52 yard game winning FG.

He escaped, too bad for the Theetans.

last I heard, Cthulhu was spotted in his underwater city of R'lyeh. Maybe reading the Necronomicon.

He moves from place to place, I need to check out that book next.

I sent him an email with the question....as well as asking him something else.

Oh...now I get it. lol. The Dr thing with those people.

It's false advertising. You would think they could get in trouble for it.

I need to make my own web site to goof around with these guys.

I'm going to use ET to blame for things I don't understand.

From an archaeological stand point, the explanations blamed on aliens make little sense if you go through the cultures of these places.

DUDE...aliens for sure. Man. Pass the bong. Aliens....lolz......

Aliens created bongs that they gave to ancient people. That's how Native Americans learned what to smoke and what not.

It's a classic, ran across the vinyl yesterday, no refusing that one!

I have that on vinyl and also bought a John Lenon CD at starbucks and that song is on it. So, Ijust listened to it this week.

You are all fricking peasants as far as I can see.

Thanks man, I have to depart early though...things are not going well at the moment on the financial side if I lose my internet, oh well. Have to put food on the table

I understand Bogie. Basic essentials always come 1st & sometimes luxuries like the world wide web take a backseat. I wish I was a billionaire many times over & could help you out. I'll be here for moral support if nothing else. Stay strong Bogie

I am glad I am not a billionaire, I would never want to be of bourgeoisie establishment, I don't think I would fit in with them anyway. I'll live but at the moment some things have to go and I'm OK with that, but by the looks of it I'll always be online ;)

Sadly no video. She's out of state at the moment and I'm doing it over the phone to drive her insane.

I found an old LP of "Little Richard Is Back! and There's a Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and became inspired. she is thankful she's not with me in person at the moment that is for sure.

That would be entertaining to see Bogie. If you need some reinforcements, I can come over & perform Jerry Lee Jones "Great Balls Of Fire" for your woman too. Do you have a piano? It's too heavy to carry on my back. LOL!

I haven't heard that yet. Love the album he did with Jeff Beck Wired.

There's an underground click of Jeff Beck fans here than. Warhorse yourself and I. Amazing fusion records. (that's one of my favorite genera's) Do check out Mahavishnu. It's pretty wicked cool.

Thanks, I will check it out for sure. I have Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow, one of the few fusion records I fell in love with. I do like Wired a little more though, haven't checked out the other stuff Hammer did with him. Beck is a brilliant guitarist, for my money he's the closest thing to Hendrix there ever was.

There ain't nothing wrong with being a softie with tunes it's some good stuff for sure!

Thanks Bogie. You're a darn nice guy with a wealth of musical knowledge. I'm the lucky one for getting to know you & read your entertaining posts my friend

I just listen to anything and everything I can get my hands on, I'm really not all that bright with music LOL but it's good to see some people get something out of my ramblings.

I love him too! he's got such a prolific and colorful catalog. You could pick blindfolded and still have a great chance of snagging a diamond

I'd love to sit down with you, put on some vinyl records, & just talk about musical eras, musical cities, & landmarks albums/remarkable LIVE performances. You are a unique individual Bogie with a wealth of catalog knowledge yourself. I just appreciate people with variety who appreciate good music.

Thanks man I really appreciate that coming from you. Music is my real passion, football and sports in general are far down the road. I started buying cds when I was real young and slowly drifted from genres looking at the best things I could get my hands on

Yes, it is quite reassuring to see a soldier return home in 1 piece both physically & hopefully psychologically intact. I worry about our armed forces men & women, PTSD, & what happens when the parades & public adulation stop. Nevertheless, a heart warming homecoming is always a nice thing to see.

Fantastic! Send my thanks for serving

My best friend, grew up together since the 5th grade. He's been stationed in Japan the last 3 years through the Marines, had not heard from him in some time and then out of no where he calls and says he's heading over. I could have done cart wheels if my back would let me!

Southwest I know what you mean. I've been following those stories for quite some time on PTSD's and some of the medical treatment for our soldiers. My friend is through the marines and has alr...

and I believe it's rigged to a degree. They clearly show the SEC favoritism. I shouldn't say that a Bama fan but it's sickening.

I love the "B$C$" with dollar signs, couldn't be more spot on

hehe thanks, couldn't resist it. 22.5 BILLION dollar contract with ESPN and the SEC. $$$$$
