It’s fun catching up on WLTV and trying to remember when it is announced that Favre had signed with the Jets. Looking forward to seeing what you think of Brett as a Jet Gary. Very disappointing that gang green missed the playoffs. Had some huge wins…pats…titans, though. Loving the Bordeaux shows as well as all the others.

“uhoh it’s pooring” that sums up the jets season.

QOTD: Yes I know the season is over but I would have said 6-10. Even though Farve was a INT-throwing machine again this season he surprised me. I would never have guessed the Jets or the Dolphins would have been fighting for a playoff spot on the final weekend.

GV we’re stoked for the cruise. I think its time to ditch the birthdays though. It drags a good bit for all not having bithdays today. And I would bet most would be willing to sacrifice their birthday announcement to not hear the list the other 364. Just my two cents. QOTD: 8-8. Respectable. Please beat the Pats.

Watching this after last night’s Gevrey-Chambertin episode – I can’t get Pinot Noir out of my head now!

QOTD – No idea, the NFL questions are lost on me you know..

Sweet episode….I was laughing my butt off. Showed this to my internship supervisor and he didn’t quite know what to make of the descriptions!

You’ll be proud though- I did a wine tasting class and part of it was guessing the scents from small vials. I did rather well, thanks to trying new things and expanding my palate!

QOTD: I watched this so long ago that I forget what it was, but I’ll just make up numbers. 7-9

Great show – I liked the side-by-side comparison of the different Pinots and your tasting notes were really helpful.

Jets?! Here’s what I have to say about the Jets: POOPY!!

GO STEELERS!!

That being said, we’ll be thrilled to raise a glass of “poopy” with you on the Thunder Cruise! Booked last weekend. WOOOHOOO!!!

QOTD: 3-13

What’s with throwing Clemens under the bus? How many “mark my words he’s going to be the lord risin’ to stomp on all lesser teams” (I know that wasn’t a direct quote) quotes do we have from the Thunder Show?
I predict Farvrerreeevere out with a broken hip or a weak bladder or joint replacement surgery 3/4 through the season and the rest of the team falling apart after that.

My Broncos will trample, absolutely stampede this season and all lesser teams will really know what it means to be up to their neck in horse manure.

Gary, you never cease to amaze me!

Tallahasse is as close to Tampa or even better Miami as it is to Charlotte! Thank you!

And Montepulciano is in Tuscany. They produce Sangiovese wines. Not to be confused with the Montepulciano grape from Abruzzo. I’m sure you know all this but it’s always fun when you get ahead of yourself!

GV – love the Pinots! Haven’t had any of those.

QOTD – I am going to let Brett get you to 5-11 in 2008. He will be instrumental in those victories, but not enough talent to get you above .500.

QOTD 3-13

Two games better than last years dolphins – although b/c of favre’s slinging – Thomas is huge fantasy sniff.

Hi Gary
I am one of the ‘England’ crew and have loved the show for ever BUT I never knew that Oregon and California were different countries!?!
Keep it up and WHEN IS THE LONDON BOOK SIGNING?

Bret will need to be more cautious with less familiar receivers so I expect the interceptions to be down. Heâ€™ll also want to prove himself with a new team so I expect him to have a good year. Theyâ€™ll barely make the playoffs with 10 or 11 wins which is a big improvement. Itâ€™s not a bad long term move. Starting for a 4-12 team isnâ€™t the environment to develop a young quarterback for the future. Itâ€™s better to have a veteran, who isnâ€™t going to be around for a lot of years, take the heat while the young guys develop.
Iâ€™m looking forward to hear more about India.
Wow, I havenâ€™t had a cinnamon stick since I was a child. Iâ€™ll need to get a hold of some.
Iâ€™ve been away and am catching up on episodes.

Good show, Gary. But what about India? Are you going to talk about India in another setting? I’d like to hear about it.
