Reindeer Power Rankings

9. DONNER

Bad father, was ashamed of Rudolph's gifts.  Also there's variously spellings/ pronunciations for Donner including Dunder (German for Thunder and Donder).  If they can't get the name right, how good is he really?  (The only positive for Donner, of course, is that his sperm help create Rudolph.)

8. BLIXEN

Another one where his name is sometimes different including Blitzen.  So I believe his real name is Blixen which is German for Lightning.  So he and Donner were a bit of a team, no thanks.  But then because he has a drinking problem people would call him BLITZEN... hence the low ranking.

7. CUPID

Named after the Roman god of erotic love.  These other reindeer, you hear there name and you think reindeer.  Certainly more his parents fault.  No even close to the most well known Cupid. 

6. COMET 

Coach Comet... one of the best fliers in the field, but also, like Donner and Santa for that matter, he is a real piece of work.  Comet is the one that says, Rudolph won't be playing anymore "reindeer games."  I wonder if the Coach is necessary the best guy, or is he serving a punishment.  Plus how about some HUMBLE REINDEER PIE when they need Rudolph to lead the way. 

5. RUDOLPH

Clutch.  He's best when the night is on the line.  Led the sleigh his 1st Christmas on the team.  He was the bigger reindeer and did not dwell on the hurtful things Comet and his father said to him.  Not sure how he did it.  He'd be higher on this list, but think of all the years they DIDN'T need him?  Throw in the flashlight technology now and his nose is pretty useless.  But I appreciate the clutchness and feel for the big stage.  

4. DANCER

Kind of like A Boy Named Sue... Dancer had to hear about his name all his live, it made him tough, he, like Sue, also went back years later and murdered his father.  Maybe the best cage fighter on the team, solid flier, and amazing dancer.   

3. VIXEN

It's a man's game, but here's Vixen, the only lady on the sleigh.  Santa took the 8 and then 9 best reindeer IN THE WORLD... and only one female made the cut and it was Vixen.  When she goes into heat... you better lock the stable.  

2. PRANCER 

Actually has his own movie, so there had to be something there.  Long time member of the team, he got in a traffic accident in his movie, way past his prime, but when he was right, there wasn't anyone better at pulling a sleigh than Prancer.

1    1. DASHER

1st name mentioned in the song.  And when Coach Comet is starting his lessons he singles out Dasher's son... probably thinking this is gonna be the next guy...

#DORK 27: Creed / Rocky Franchise

TV Show Grades

A = Fargo, The Leftovers, South Park, The Last Man on Earth, Jessica Jones, Ash vs. Evil Dead

B = The Flash, Arrow

C = The Walking Dead, Grimm

D = Gotham, Scream Queens

F = American Horror Story: Hotel



Now there is a range on these scales as well.  Fargo and The Leftovers are your A+ shows while Jessica Jones is probably an A- and a lot closer to B+ shows like The Flash and Arrow.  I have a love/hate thing with Gotham.  I enjoy it enough, but it's not nearly as good as it should be, same for The Walking Dead.

Am I missing any shows?  Probably.

Looking forward to the return of "Better Call Saul" "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" "Daredevil" and I'm sure others that I can't remember.

Week 13 QBs

The final week of the fantasy football regular season is upon us.  Here are two QBs I like this weekend and two I do not.

LIKE:
Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Giants
Fitz is coming off a 4 TD performance, this "road" game is in a very familiar atmosphere, he has Marshall & Decker and a terrible NYG secondary.  The bearded assassin (new nickname? sure.) also runs a bit and never kills you with a terrible (fantasy) game.

Marcus Mariota vs. Jaguars
The rookie has had 2 different 4 TD pass games, he tossed 3 last week.  In his first game against Jax he did not throw a TD but ran for one on a highlight reel play.  That was also on a Thursday night and in Jacksonville where the Jags were wearing urine soaked uniforms, so that couldn't help.

DON'T LIKE:
Philip Rivers vs. Broncos
Denver is the best in the league against opposing QBs.  No one has thrown for 300 yards (Stafford 282 is season-high).  Just a brutal match up for Rivers who has been real good this year.  I'd sit him down this week.

Drew Brees vs. Panthers
Another tough match up here, and Brees is coming off a game in which his offense failed to score a touchdown for the first time since the Reagan administration (not entirely true).  He kinda sucks now. He's had 2 really good games this year, but for the most part is cooked... and not Brandin Cooks.  Brees has more in the tank than say Peyton Manning but it can't be much.


And make sure you tune into The Fantasy Football Show on Sunday, 8-10am on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
