UPDATE 2/15/2013: Just a couple days after posting my original opinion, I heard from a Chobani representative offering me a chance to try different flavors. I *SO* appreciate hearing from them about this, especially since they somehow found my very obscure tiny little corner of the web in my blogspot blog. So I probably won't try any other flavors, but I hereby change my opinion from "sux" to "not for me, but kudos for their great customer service!".
---------------------- Original post below --------------------------
I was looking forward to trying "Greek" yogurt after seeing a report on Chobani on 60 minutes or some such program. I bought a cup tonight and tried it, and IMHO it sux! Long live Yoplait!

Tebow and the Jets are LOST
As I'm writing this, it's Turkey Day 2012 and I'm watching the Patriots/Jets game on NBC. The Pats just scored their SEVENTH touchdown in the 2nd quarter and lead the game 35 to 0.
I'm not a fan of the Jets to start with, so I'm happy seeing them getting creamed tonight.
I've seen a few Jets game this year, or at least parts of those few. Problem is they've got their starting quarterback Mark Sanchez AND Heisman-winning Tim Tebow, and the Jets are TOTALLY FUCKING UP their management of the two quarterbacks on the same team. I've seen them play one QB for a few plays, then the other for 1 play, then both for a play, etc. The whole thing just seems completely erratic, random, and lousy to me.
And the two people who are getting the raw end of the deal are both Sanchez and Tebow. Tebow has gotten screwed more than any Heisman winner in recent memory by two teams--the Broncos and the Jets.
At least the Broncos recognized the bad situation for Tebow and let him go. Now the Jets need to do the same thing--they need to make Sanchez their starter and let Tebow go play for a team who could really use him as their first-string QB. Plenty of teams out there would work for him, I think. One of Kansas City, Jacksonville, or Carolina should try to get him in the 2013 season and make him their first-string QB. The Jets should let him go.
Tebow has taken lots of crap for his open Christianity on and off the field. SO WHAT? Primarily, he needs to find a team that he can lead as a QB or his once-promising career will be toast.

The valley
I've been living in the valleys with foes and tears for decades. I lift my eyes and I know that God and His angels are there, but I see them only through a mist. I want to see them clearly.

"Mandy" == "Sandy". BOOOOO! TheRoots beat me to it! :-(
It was pretty interesting and cool tonight to view both the Letterman show (CBS) and Jimmy Fallon (NBC) without any audience tonight! Both of the New-York-City-based shows essentially sent their respective audiences home due to what they're now calling "SuperStorm" Sandy.
It was a true "insert-your-own-laughs-here" experience. Dave chose to basically talk to Paul instead of doing a monologue, and Jimmy stuck to his usual format sans audience.
But I'm a bit pissed at Jimmy's band "The Roots". Sometime between Fallon's show taping, and the show actually airing, I came up with the idea of re-writing the lyrics to Barry Manilow's "Mandy" with more apropos lyrics regarding hurricane Sandy. Alas, The Roots pre-stole my idea before I had ever thought of it, and played/sang "{SM}andy" during the intro to one of the guests or some other post-commercial ex-tro. SHIT! *I* wanted to do that! Dammit!
At any rate, unique shows like this in late night don't come around too often, maybe once a decade, and they generally don't get repeated either. So it was fun to be a small part of this phenomenon, if only as a passive viewer!
