Brocious

This is a post dedicated to all the things that happen in Boston that just baffle the mind.

1. The perpetual road construction. They will rip up a road to repair it, leave it a mess for months without touching it and then suddenly repave it in one freaking night. Meanwhile they ruin a road to repair a sidewalk and then ruin that same sidewalk repairing the road. Now, instead of painted crosswalk lines in Kenmore square, they're putting in granite blocks and laying concrete bricks for crosswalks. I guess they want to have the nicest looking crosswalks they can, never mind that they've turned one of the most heavily trafficked places in the city into a complete sh!t show for the last 6 months.

2. Unnecessary bridges. Apparently somebody decided they needed to build a bridge going from one spot along the Charles River bank....to another spot on the same side about 100 feet away. Not to mention there is already a path there that is shorter than the bridge is (because the bridge has to bow out into the river). Also, its ugly as he!!.

3. Speaking of the Charles River, I saw some people fishing in it the other day. We're talking about a river that was is so polluted that until recently, if you took a cup of water from the river and dumped it back in you were technically dumping waste illegally into the river. Nothing lives in that river other than bacteria and disease. Fishing? Really?

4. Public transportation closes at 1, bars close at 2. Is it just me or is this asking for people to drive home drunk?

5. Traffic circles with stop lights. Trust me they're out there. Some even have another road passing through the middle.

6. No food at night. I dare you to try and get food after 3 am in Boston. Its impossible. Where are the 24 hour diners? Its mostly a college town do you know people are awake, drunk and hungry.

Thats all for now, I have to get back to work

No, its not because of a night of binge drinking.

Its because the morning after that night of binge drinking I wake up and see these headlines.

1.  Joba Chamberlain on the DL
2.  Favre traded to Jets

First Joba.  How many f*&#ing pitchers can the Yankees lose this season.  Its completely mind boggling.  Some higher power in the universe seems to not want to Yankees in the playoffs this year.

And Cashman, if your reading this, I once pitched a game in little league.  I'll be waiting for your call because god knows the pitching staff needs the help.

Now onto Favre.  All I can say is...really?  The Jets?

From Favre's point of view I have to wonder, does he really think the Jets will compete this year?  And does he really want to battle with the Patriots for the division title?  He could have gone to the Bucs, who are a better team and play in one of the most piss poor divisions in the league, virtually guaranteeing himself a playoff birth.

And the Jets...well I can't say I'm that surprised on their part, nothing they do makes much sense.

But again, really?

I need some advil
