Sat night's movie

My original plan for this posting was to discuss a few hero's of mine. The idea just randomly came into my head at work on Friday and i thought that it would be a good topic to talk about because i think those people are pretty cool. But i just felt uninspired to talk about that when i started typing this entry. So i decided to talk about something cool i saw on Saturday night instead. MJ and i watched a movie called "Joyeux Noel" and it took place during World War 1. The cool thing is that it was based on a true story. So what happened is, on Christmas Eve of 1914, the Germans, French and Scottish decided to just stop fighting for two days. They were in trenches like only say 70 feet apart from each other with "no man's land" in between. Due to the spirit of the holiday they just decided, "hey, instead of kill each other, waddya say we just hang out?" That might even be a quote. So what they did was give each other booze, food, and played a game of soccer. While watching this i found it to be a little unreal so i checked online and found it to be true. The craziest part is that once the two day truce was over they went back to fighting. They basically shook hands, played soccer, drank some booze and were like "K cool, ummm, if i see your ass from now on i'm going to put a bullet in it so have a good one! Au revoir you Kraut son' bitch". Again, another quote. Then the Scots were like "Eye!...these kilts do nothing to make me warm!" Probably the best quote. So what i'm trying to say from all this i guess is how crazy that whole situation was/must have been. Probably would have been a better idea to stop fighting altogether. The Germans won the soccer game 3-2 by the way. BALEK!!!!

In sports news, the Titans won again tonight. Now they are 10-0 and nobody is mentioning the possibility of them having an undefeated season. Aside from the fact that New England did it last year (well, that is until their huge, disastrous, amazing choke in the Superbowl) I think that nobody is talking about it because Kerry Collins is their QB right now. Mr hitch is leading an undefeated team? I know i'm not the only one surprised, but i have to say i'm kind of impressed. He did lead the Giants to the Superbowl a few years back so maybe i should be giving him more credit. What must Vince Young be thinking? He's a talented young QB (apparently has problems with his emotions says his mom) who himself could possibly lead a team to go 10-0 and he's watching Collins do it. Then again, he's getting paid millions to do nothing. And sure he's hurt, but how hurt? Are they not rushing him back to health on purpose?

I'M CALLING IT: The Titans will finish the season 14-2 and lose in the AFC final. After the loss, they will interview Collins, and Vince will be caught smiling in the background.
