what?!

…I changed my name to Dropped a Deuce from Dinkin’ Flicka after Deuce McAllister (my 3rd round pick) got injured for the season.
This is why I love the game. In a sport where you have players begging to be thrown the ball and some only ‘playing when they want to’, Brian Westbrook plays for his team. Up 10-6 with a little over 2 minutes left in the game, Westbrook had a chance to walk into the endzone to put the Eagles up 17-6. Instead, he stops short and falls down at the 1 yard line. The Cowboys had no timeouts left in the game, so all the Eagles had to do was kneel every down after the 2 minute warning.

So, I just bought this puppy online from newegg.com for $250 +tax. This should complete one of the pieces for the monster machine I’m building that I’m hoping will last me a little less than a decade (wishful thinking). The GeForce 8800 GT 512Mb card has gotten sparkling reviews from many sites for its power compared to others in its series, namely the 8800 GTS and GTX, which are almost double in price.
So, in between Christmas shopping for others this weekend I decided that my computer needed upgrading from its circa-2003 self. I spent a few hours over the weekend looking for deals perusing DealNews, GotApex, and FatWallet and finally found my replacement box. I’m about 700 bucks poorer but came out of my shopping experience with a computer that should last me about another 4 years or so…I figure that’s a good investment.
