Grumblings from a Grouch

1) The Bills first stringers actually looked halfway decent this past Saturday. The defense played very well as Shawn Merriman looked a bit like his former self and the newest big guy Dareus threw his weight around quite well. The Bills ended up with nine sacks for the game. If they can keep that up during the regular season they may actually scare a few teams...now if they can only stop the run.
2) Played golf this past Sunday. On the front nine I looked like I never held a club in my hand my entire life as I had the worst nine of the year. I had to make nineteen points for the day and I made the turn at a whopping two points thanks to a pair of bogeys on eight and nine. Now the back nine was a different story. I scored fourteen points and finished with a total of sixteen, which is not bad considering. What started me off was making a bird on the very tough tenth hole. I guess it inspired me. How you can follow the worst round of the year with the best round of the year(and it could have been even better if my putting was just a touch better) is beyond me. I had a 54-41 for a 95. I guess you can call it Dow Jones golf.
3) The Stock market sucks.
4) Our elected officials in Washington D.C suck even more.
5) Well my reprieve from mowing the lawn, thanks to a two month dry spell, is now over. The recent rains have acted like liquid Wheaties to my grass and it is now growing faster than ever. It may look nicer now but I surely enjoyed only mowing bits and pieces of it every two weeks.
6) Your King was invited to play golf in a tournament at Brook Lea Country Club this past Monday. This is a private upscale course in Gates New York so whenever I have a chance to leave a few divots, I mean play there, I jump at the chance. Even your King cannot afford a membership at that private club. Moronica just does not pull in enough money to allow such a luxury. Too bad!! PS: I did see a gopher out on the course though.
7) The Bills finally got rid of Aaron Maybin who is possibly the worst first round bust in the history of the Buffalo Bills. What gets me is why the NY Jets would sign this loser to a contract? This guy is a hopeless case and should soon be flipping burgers at Burger King. I cannot see this guy making the Jets final roster. I hate the Jets and I hope this is a sign that they are getting desperate to find players. But, then again I do not think so. Maybin will be gone before the regular season starts.
Well, this is enough garbage for tonight. This is your King wishing you a pleasant evening.
