This past weekend I went to DFW to visit my friend Smitty from Phoenix. Yeah we met half way. Anyway, some of the topics that came up were just classic. We had a great time, finally was able to enjoy the "Jaws" at Razzoo's, and I proved to my closest friends that I am in fact a sports genius. I will give you a short recap of what transpired.
Razzoo's is my favorite place to eat hands down. We had five dudes who were all hungry, it made sense. Order the "Jaws". "Jaws" is a platter of fried, cajun ecstasy. It was everything I thought it would be. On the menu it says that it is for four people or two cajuns. It says nothing about a "C-Money" or an "El Rictor" so we weren't sure that it would be enough. We were wrong. We could have had two more guys eating on that and still not finished it.
I give the "Jaws" five "Jaws". This will be my new rating system for anything. You can receive anywhere from 1-5 "Jaws". This has no corelation to Ron Jaworski. Please do not make this mistake.
After Razzoo's we went to Fox and Hound. We decided that five years ago we wouldn't have been caught dead at Fox and Hound, but now there is something appealing about it. This one was the smokiest place in the Northern Hemisphere, but it was alright. Playing pool and just hanging out was the plan, which isn't all that great of a deal for me because I hate pool, but I was just chilling with my boys, so anything would be fine. Here are some of the conversations that came up.
"If you had to choose what iPod you would want as your uhh, you know, which one would it be?"
Some of the responses were:
1. The iPod Touch
2. The 80 gig classic, black without a sleeve
This might possibly go down as one of the best questions of the 21st century. I will leave you to ponder this.
"If you had to choose one man to father your son other than yourself, who would it be?"
Responses:
1. Tom Brady
2. Bill Gates
3. Ron Jeremy
This was actually a good question. I think the obvious choice is Tom Brady. Once again I ask for your comments.
"The movie "Hot Rod" reminds me of a "Cranberries" cd. Your not expecting much, but in the end, you kind of liked it, and you find yourself somewhat attracted to the red headed chick."
Totally random, yet completely accurate. Except only if the red headed chick is my wife. By the way, we need a column name for my wife. Something I can refer to her as in every column or blog I pop out. This blog is totally interactive so I need ideas for this one as well.
"The 6th seed from the NFC has just as good a chance of making the Super Bowl as does the Patriots."
I'm still not so sure that my friends understood my argument here. But what I am saying is that the NFC is so weak one through six and the AFC is so freaking good one through six that we might have one of the worst Super Bowls in the history of sports. I mean could you imagine having to sit through something like the San Antonio Spurs playing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals? I still say this tarnishes the Spurs as a dynasty.
This led me to making a bet with my buddies that I would give the NFC 13.5 points in the Super Bowl no matter who is in it. I know I will win this one, and in turn all of them will recognize me as the next great sports mind of the new upcoming decade. You will all remember this.
Richter out.......

Rich, as you could expect, I'm gonna go against you on this NFC-AFC thing. As a side note, please refer back to our previous postings wherein I dismantled your theory that the Spurs do not have a dynasty.
Anyway, I agree that the AFC is better than the NFC this year, but it is not as extreme a difference as the NBA (pre-ridiculously loaded Celtics).
I disagree with your statement that the 6th seed has just as good a chance as the Pats at making the Super Bowl. Let me put some odds to it. There is at least a 60% chance of the Pats making the Super Bowl. Just assuming the 6th seed is just as good as the 1 seed in the NFC, the odds are like 17% of that seed making the Super Bowl.
I guess where I disagree is that I don't believe that the Pats have a 60% shot at making it to the Super Bowl. I think they could easily lose to any of the teams that will make the AFC playoffs. I can't wait to serve you guys a huge plate of crow. Really nasty black crow.
Maybe the site I checked is off, but I think I saw the Pats at 1 to 4 odds on WINNING the Super Bowl. If my math is correct, that means Vegas is betting that the odds of winning outright are 75%. If that's the case the odds of winning the AFC have to be at least a little bit higher.
You always managed to throw in a little "foosball" talk don't you? ;)
Soooo true about the Fox and Hound being smoky
