Matt Ryan didn't have a great game today, but he showed up, big time, when the chips were down. I get the feeling from the Giants game, a few weeks ago, which they won 34 to 0, and from the first three quarters of this game, that Atlanta can beat anybody if they play up to their ability.
That young quarterback for San Francisco is really special. I was shocked at his speed when he was in the open field. Then I heard him tell Terry Bradshaw that he had been timed at 4.43 for the 40 yard dash. The 49'ers really should have won it all last year, so it is no surprise that they are in the NFC Championship Game again. I was a bit surprised that they whipped Green Bay like that.
No surprise up at Foxboro. The Ninja of New England, Tom Brady, nailed another pelt on the wall of his cabin. I had to laugh at an interview I saw today. One of Brady's mates said that if he loses at chess, he tosses the board. Ha, ha. I am not so sure that I would like to have a quarterback that enjoyed losing, though. I hated the loss for the Texans because that franchise would be a refreshing addition to a Super Bowl. New blood invigorates a nation, team or a game.
I would very much like to say what I think about a series of events in one of the games, but I fear lawsuits. So, silence is golden.
We rarely get to watch west coast teams in my area, so I was glad to see the Seahawks and the 49'ers this weekend. That division is looking tough for next season.
Alien Zone is a free game that I played today. It is a space shooter with a lady hero...uhh heroine. You have the upgrades, weapons and shop as one would expect. I have enjoyed it enough to feel obligated to buy a small in-app. The player must kill big scorpions and winged, bug-like aliens as you go around a massive space station. I do wish that you didn't have to buy med-packs all the time, but at least they are cheap and can be easily bought by in-game coin. I bought myself a gun that glows in the dark. It is purple. Yeah, I know, macho. But hey, the character is a girl...
In this game you have the ability to touch a button and become immune from harm for a few seconds. The ability recharges itself after a brief respite. This is handy as you leap into battle against a bunch of bad bugs. I suspect that this would be a nice feature to have at your disposal in real life, as well. Additonally, you can, briefly, discharge blue lightning bolts. Again, that ability recharges after a brief time-out.
Carley, you know, refused to allow me to buy her a new I-Pad for Christmas. Now, as more and more games do not adapt to the I-Pad 1, she is rethinking her position and considering an I-Pad Mini. I told her I would wait until after March, because it is likely that a new Mini will arise, like the fiery Phoenix of old, with a Retina Display hidden in its wings. Sorry. I got carried away.
As long as I am talking your ear off, I watched a good movie tonight. Collateral , with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx as the stars. Jamie plays Max, a cabbie in L.A. Tom Cruise gets in his cab. Tom (Vincent) is a highly skilled hit man, and a gabby one at that. Most hit men would be quiet individuals, I would imagine. (Don't want to find out). Anyway, Vincent has a number of contracts to fulfill before dawn and asks Jamie to drive him around to 5 locations. As you might expect, Max is less than thrilled about the job, but there is not a choice.
Let's just say that Max messes up a number of times. His heart is pure, however, so he does okay as he is faced with a situation beyond his ken. Testing rarely comes at a time and place of our choosing, does it? I found this movie to be quite entertaining, a 4 star out of 5. They could have cut 20 minutes off the front end and had a better film, but it was very good. By the way, Jada Pinkett Smith stars as Max's love interest, Annie. She is a District Attorney.

P.S. Those are baby birds in the picture. Good night.
