first off, HA-HA to the redskins. so sorry you lost last night. thanks to ryan longwell for the late kick!! sort of makes up for that 51 yard nightmare earlier, huh?? i'll always root for you, numba 8...even if you end up on oakland. horray!!

on the subject of sports, i'd like to bring you another round of What Rules Jeannette Would Change If She Were In Charge!!!

okay, so i started writing a bit, and it all started sounding familiar. see my previous rant on 1.22.06 for round one. :)

sort of an add-on to the "i'm sorry notes" rule is if you get a horrible penalty, you're out for the game. no facemasks!! if you do that, you're done for the night. now i know there are incidental times where your hand sort of gets pushed in the helmet, and i'm not talking about that. i'm talking about the times when someone grabs it and brings you down. that is so lame and i don't want to see you any more for that game. also, if you headbutt anyone with your helmet, go hit the showers, kid. and, for the "i'm sorry notes" if you don't write a nice note, you won't be allowed back in the game. it has to be approved by me FIRST. bahahahahahaha!!

my other addition to MY rules is that i HATE how in the nfl a receiver will make an amazing catch, BUT his feet never touch the ground because someone pushes him out. that should not be called a fair catch. it should be fair that a player can push him out of bounds!! HELLO, you're all big boys in the nfl now. get your damn feet in or it's not a catch. or, have your qb throw it further down the field so you're able to run after you grab it/run out of bounds because time is wearing down. damn, i hate this rule!!

that's it with my sports rant, now time for my other rant. i'm sure many of you have seen that stupid commercial that starts with mr. cheesy mc cheeserson saying, "i'm thiiiiinking of a number..." and it's for freecreditreport.com. they tell you that you can get a free credit report if you log into your site. what's in the small print, of course, is the fact that you'll have to sign up for some shit to get your report. so is it free?? NO!! this is such a pet peeve of mine!!

how can you claim something is free, yet still be charging for it?? it's similar with those quick infomercials that state you have free shipping, but there's a $10.95 handling fee. holy crap, the person that "handles" your package must be a millionaire!! i don't understand how businesses can get away with it because it seems so sneaky. of course, i bet they don't care since most americans are stupid and can't be bothered reading the fine print. i just don't like how in some cases it's too small to read or it doesn't tell you that you have to sign up for something else. i'm not speaking from any personal experiences, but seeing crap like that just bugs me. i guess i wish i had thought about making tons of money off of slow people. grrrrrrrr!! ;)
