Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bitof better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

Defense will make the Giants champions
|
|
On the final weekend of December, with an undefeated regular season on the line, New England came from behind in the fourth quarter to beat the Giants, 38-35. But don't let the Patriots' perfect season blind you to the fact it was a hard-fought, tightly contested game featuring two evenly matched teams.
The Giants almost saddled the Patriots with their first loss and are quite capable of doing so in Super Bowl 42. It says here, they will.
It was the Giants' defense that was mostly responsible for the three-point loss. One glaring statistic, and a very important one, was the number of plays run by New England: 69 to the Giants' 52. Discounting four kneeldowns by Tom Brady, the Patriots had 43 called passes and 22 called runs. That's 66 percent pass, which has been the Patriots' M.O. in almost every game this season.
|
Moss, however, was a key factor against the Giants. He caught six passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns, including a 65-yarder in the fourth quarter that gave New England the lead. It came on a third-and-10 in which the Giants blew the coverage and Moss ran free down the sideline. Brady, well protected against a blitz, calmly hit Moss in stride. That's the brilliance of Brady and the Patriots' offense. You make a mistake, they exploit it.
It was not surprising the play came against a blitz. Under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the Giants are an attacking defense that has blitzed on more than 35 percent of all called passes this season, including the three playoff wins. In that December 29 matchup against New England, Brady scorched the Giants' blitz, completing 14 of 18 for 174 yards and two touchdowns. His QB rating against the blitz was 144.0.
Let's spin this forward to February 3 in Arizona. The Giants' aggressive approach is the right one against Brady and the Patriots' passing game, regardless of what happened a month ago. They must challenge New England's offensive line both mentally and physically. It's a smart, cohesive group that understands pressures and adjustments, but it lacks premier athleticism and movement.
Spagnuolo will make the linemen think and react on the move. Even though the result did not reflect it, the Giants did an excellent job mixing fronts, pressures and coverages in that first game. They at times broke down the Patriots' protections both by winning individual matchups and with scheme and design. There is a lot to build on for Spagnuolo, and he will not be passive.
The counterargument, of course, is that Brady is so good in the pocket sensing and feeling pressure that he more often than not compensates for the limitations of his line. That was critical in the first matchup, given the number of times the Giants' pressure was a factor.
The outcome of Super Bowl 42 will hinge most directly on the ability of the Giants to consistently pressure Brady. There is no doubt in my mind that Bill Belichick is focusing first and foremost on pass protection in his preparation.
He knows that the Giants' two safeties, James Butler and Gibril Wilson, lack range in coverage and can be attacked and beaten at the intermediate and deeper levels. Butler, in particular, is a weak link as a coverage safety. He simply can't run very well, and he will be targeted by the Patriots through the use of personnel and formations.
One other point about Brady. He is the best there is at manipulating and moving defenders to create passing lanes to deliver the football. The Giants' secondary at times struggled with that, allowing Brady to move them with shoulder rolls and pump fakes. Those mistakes are correctable, and Spagnuolo will instruct his backs to maintain their coverage responsibilities until Brady releases the ball. It's about discipline.
Expect the Giants to match up with six defensive backs when the Patriots go with their three- and four-wide receiver packages. Safety Michael Johnson has become a significant contributor as the dime player, aligning primarily as a linebacker, but clearly bringing more speed and quickness to the defense.
Don't be misled by the Patriots' running game out of two- and three-tight end personnel in the AFC championship game; they don't want to play that way. They took that approach only because they were not having success throwing the ball, and because Brady tweaked his ankle late in the first quarter. They are a passing team, and in the controlled climate of Glendale, Ariz., they will align with Brady in the shotgun and toss the ball around. Don't be surprised if the no-huddle is a significant part of their approach.
It's a prolific passing game, but the Giants can handle it. It will come down to two things: pressure and coverage discipline. I think they'll have both things covered and will make enough plays to raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the desert.
RESUME
These Transits are a BITCH
By Farley Malorrus
I've always lived under the regime that there is nothing bad in an Astrology chart, that we must fail or lose in order to grow and gain, or to become aware. The latest entry of Mars in Gemini Opposition Pluto In Sagittarius, plus Uranus in Pisces Opposite Saturn in Virgo, not to mention all the oppositions when the Sun and Jupiter in Capricorn were opposite Mars this last couple weeks and Venus square Saturn, it's enough to even drive this Astrologer mad!
I just got over a 2 day bout with the stomach flu, talking to my tons of antibodies from having the flu about 20 times in my life (works better than a flu shot praying to your antibodies to fight on!), so I slept for 2 days and fasted, and happy to report the fever has broke. Still, the Planets are in some stress aspects, major stress aspects, meaning they are opposite each other and at right angles to each other. This spells stress, karma, maintenance, (MY RV has been in the shop for 2 months from being vandalized and it's taking forever to fix!), now taxes, and with the upcoming Presidential races, I would not be surprised to see someone different win in almost every state! I don't think that will happen, but let's just say with these aspects, I wouldn't be surprised to see a yo yo effect politically.
President Bush is hanging in there, and staying low, with his assassination profile in RED, I would suggest he not go to any 3rd World countries for awhile....His assassination aspect lasts at least 2 years, (Even when he's out of office).
Now, who would want to hurt poor old President Bush? What a guy, eh? He's only put the United States in debt by 3 trillion dollars, had over 3,000 American Soldiers killed, over a million Iraqis, and Afghanis killed, and maybe 30,000 U.S. Soldiersmaimed...
So, what has Bush done for us lately? Not a good time for Cancer people in general with Jupiter in Cancer and soon Mars going direct and opposed it once again.
The stock market is hanging in there, even though the recession is now in full tilt, and with the oncoming release of the latest car, the "TATA," which is only $2,500; it's as if someone knows people will be running out of money, so they are preparing by having a tiny little car that will be affordable even for the poor.
The Planets are in the strangest place I have seen in awhile, so I won't be surprised at any of the headlines, and I realized that even though we spent 3 trillion dollars, since 911, that we have NOT HAD ANOTHER terrorist act in the U.S. A steep price to pay to fend off paranoia, so one wonders if Bin Laden is really a terrorist or just involved in some kind of mind control conspiracy to reinforce 'the New World Order.'
I was wondering, ironic that Barack Obama won Iowa, considering rumor has it, he may even have a Muslim background. Can you imagine? The Republicans should have a field day with that should he be nominated, as it's a slam dunk the American people would not elect a Muslim President while we are still at war in Muslim countries, or not?
I'm just happy to be healthy and get my bills paid, and considering where all these planets are, if your life is going to hell, if you are in hell, or if you haven't been feeling too good lately, it may have something to do with the strange mix of energies out there in the Universe affecting us all. It reminds me of what Kanye West says in his song 'Stronger,' that whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
Happy also to report, my nephew Matt is coming back from IRAQ this month, and he tellsme, there was no evidence of War the whole year he was there. NO sound of fighting, gunfire, or insurgency... Maybe this IRAQ war is the perverted fantasy of some big wig arms dealer who gets off on selling trillions of dollars worth of armament at the American Peoples expense...Imagine being overseas in a war zone, with no war....What's wrong with this picture?
Someone told me once that the U.S. was taken over in a Coup in 1963 when JFK was killed, and that the New World Order had taken over at that point. That means we really don't have any freedoms any more, that all the elections are rigged, and in general, that someone out there must think the American people in general are retarded.
Depending on whom we elect as our next President, I think that answer should be clear. I mean we did elect Bush twice? Or was it the supreme court, or maybe those bogus voting machines? IN any event, hang in there through these aspects, and if you are turning 30, 60, or 90, best take things one day at a time, and take care of yourself, as Saturn has come back around to Virgo to do it's deed.
Next PLUTO GOES INTO CAPRICORN and AMERICA HAS IT'S FIRST PLUTO RETURN since it's inception....
