Patriots Win Again

Laidanian Tomlinson, Marty and all the Chargers were invited to the AFC matchup with the New England Patriots, but the only ones dancing at the end of the game were the Patriots, sorry if we hurt your feelings L.T..........Yeah the Chargers have 9 Pro Bowlers and the league MVP, but it wasn't enough. Their organization restricted the sale of tickets to the game to Southern Californians, but it didn't help.

After it was over L.T. reported in his press conference that he "Is a classy guy," oh really.... Tomlinson yelled and pointed at the Patriots players, upset that some them were dancing on the Chargers logo at midfield after they had silenced the record crowd of 68,810 at Qualcomm Stadium.

"I would never react in that way. I was very upset," Tomlinson said. "When you go to the middle of our field and start doing the dance..." that fellow Charger teamate and Steroid User , Shawne Merriman does.

Merriman, nicknamed "Lights Out," did a spasmodic dance to celebrate each of his NFL-high 17 sacks

Tomlinson continues..."that is disrespectful. They showed no class and maybe that comes from the head coach."

Yeah, L.T., I'm sure Merriman never did that dance when playing on someone elses home field....Oh, and Merriman is so much classier then Bill Bellichek

The Chargers beat themselves by getting untimely and "UN-Sportsmanlike" penalties that really hurt them.... Laidanian, you played a great game, if you want to be mad...be mad at your Coach....Marty should have given you the ball a lot more often. But for now, sit down and relax, your going to the Pro Bowl.

After he calmed down a bit Tomlinson said, "We lost to a better team today," hopefully the next opportunity we have we'll learn something from this."



Meanwhile the Patriots are headed for Indy and Peyton Mannings crew and guess what?

THE PATRIOTS ARE UNDERDOGS!!

Just the way they like it..

There was a sign outside a local Sports Bar here that made the news, It read: Californians WILL NOT be served during the game!

HA HA HA

Go Patriots!!!

The BEST Quarterback in the NFL , Tom Brady, and the rest of the N.E. Patriot team face their biggest game of the year so far against the #1 team in the NFL...and the Charger organization won't sell tickets directly to anyone NOT from Southern California......Sounds to me like they are scared!! Go Pats bring a win home!!!

IRS E-FILE FOR FREE

We all know the IRS sucks, but that's one of the things we here in the USA have to deal with every new year. I was browsing the IRS Site and found this info:

A program for eligible taxpayers developed through a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Free File Alliance LLC, a group of private sector tax software companies. Since Free File’s debut in 2003, more than 15.4 million returns have been prepared and e-filed through the program. Free File allows taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $52,000 or less in 2006 to e-file their federal tax returns for free. That means 70 percent of all taxpayers – 95 million taxpayers – can take advantage of the Free File program.


The Program begins January 12th, 2007 and here are some of the changes from last year:

• Free File is a free service offered by companies for taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $52,000 or less.

• Before selecting a company link, review the tax software company’s criteria to confirm that you meet their eligibility for preparing and e-filing your federal return for free.

• Fees for state tax returns may apply. Some companies offer free state tax return preparation and e-filing. Check company websites for more details.

• Some companies offer extensions for free.

• Some companies offer free e-filing of the Form 1040EZ-T, Telephone Excise Tax Refund, for those who want to claim the refund credit and are not required to file a federal income tax return.

• You are under no obligation to buy any of the company’s other products or services.

What is The Tommy Fund ?

The Tommy Fund is my personal advertising program. I've read about the Million Dollar Homepage which was an awesome idea but it's been done and frankly, I don't think your ads stand out as well. If you are trying to increase readership of your blog or web site you could spend hours flipping through pages at any number of Blog exchanges or you can visit the Tommy Fund, a dollar donation (US ) and I will visit your web site/blog, write a posting about it and put your link on the Donor Roll on my sidebar for a month!!

For example: A very special blogger Marina, was the first person to ever comment on my blog. I visited her site MARINAMARBURG shortly after she commented. You'll find her site has some truly funny pictures and you will discover her great sense of humor. Currently she has been posting some great videos of Hugh Laurie and Steven Fry....We have commented and visited each others blogs ever since I started blogging and recently she contributed to The Tommy Fund before I ever conceived the Advertising idea and for that she will always be listed on my Honor Roll.

My Picture for the Day

She Insisted I Take Her Picture While Making A Goofy Face

DINNER
First, I must say, the meal I prepared and spoke of yesterday was a resounding success !! The Brisket was tender and all of the sides were perfect...7 of us enjoyed the meal and everyone was complimentary.....

BAD REVIEW
I bought a software program called PHOTO EXPLOSION to help me edit and organize my photos...I got what I paid for, the program sucks....please don't waste any money on it..

PICASA GOOD SO FAR
I downloaded Picasa Later and have found it easy to use and a big help in getting my photos off the hard drive and storing them online, and it's free! I have a link to it at the top of the page if you are interested.

WEIRD
Well again it must be over 60 degrees here in sunny Massachusetts, I like it but it is a bit disturbing. I am not gonna go off on a Climate Change rant or anything but....it's weird

What are you having for dinner?

Stock photo of Tom cooking something

Today I'm cooking and I'm sure everyone will be happy. I'm preparing a Texas Style Beef Brisket that should melt in your mouth...I've never cooked it before but I have high hopes.... along with the Brisket I've prepared a Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella Salad with Fresh Basil and secret seasonings topped with Crisped Prosciutto bits. Also tender fresh Brussel Sprouts in a lemon butter sauce and finally, a Baked Potato.

Dinner will be at 6pm if anyone is interested.

Aside from dinner I put a storm window in at The Unit's house and have done a couple loads of laundry....

I know there's a good woman out there that would love to have me...anyone interested???
