Full Of Luck, Andrew for MVP

Andrew Luck: Drafted number One. RGIII drafted number two. Never have I heard more praise being given to the second pick after who is supposed to be the second coming of Peyton Manning. Who is Peyton? Only arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.

When drafting for the NFL, coaches seem to want someone who is a pocket passer. Why? Because they win, but everyone seems to get excited about the ones who can run. My question is, do they win championships? Why then does everyone get so high on these guys? Yes they can break they big play and can instantly get your team to the playoffs. But as Mike Vick has shown us they dont win Championships and are usually injury prone. We have even seen this with RGIII this season. Running Washington's offense has nearly gotten this young player killed. Yes I just compared RGIII to Vick. Both can be very exciting players, and maybe RGIII will be one of the greatest. Right now though, you cant help but notice to similarities between the two. Vick also started the same way, but is now injury prone from all the hits he takes. He has only had one full season in his career, and so far RGIII is following in his footsteps. RGIII, if you read this, please become a pocket passer-for your own sake.

Luck on the other hand is the pocket passer anyone would want, with the arm strength to match. On a team full of rookies took his team to the playoffs. RGIII also went, but his was a playoff team already. The Colts were in a rebuilding phase, and weren't supposed to do anything this year. Without Luck, this team goes nowhere as we saw last year without Peyton. Oh yeah, he also can run and throw blocks down the field just like anyone else! Maybe better.

Im sorry Peyton you don't deserve MVP. Your team went to the playoffs last year with a QB that was nowhere near his caliber. Brady, sure he deserves to be in the conversation as he is also one of the greatest to ever play. But compared to the seasons of Andrew Luck and Peterson, sorry he still doesnt get it.

Now I know the Heisman is a popularity contest, as Im sure MVP might be. To me, MVP means Most Valuable Player. The only two people that really should be associated with this award this year is Andrew Luck and Adrian Peterson. You can send Comeback Player of the Year to Adrian as well. Rookie of the year should go to Luck, but will probably follow either RGIII or Wilson as they are the popular choice.

Cigar Reviews for Normal People: Foundry

Foundry Cigars. New and exciting! I have to admit that the metal gear on the cigar is what drew my attention. "What is this?" Well, what this is is a very tasty treat.

While Im kind of disappointed that I cant wear the gear as a ring, I am very impressed with the cigar. I would consider this a more mild cigar (right in my range) and was very good throughout the entire experience. This cigar was so well made i was able to get a very very long ash, even after trying to knock the ash off. Nonsense you say? There are a few things a appreciate in a cigar.

  -Of course flavor
  -How evenly the cigar smokes
  -How fast it burns
  -How good I look smoking it

Yes price is also what I look at, but price doesnt always dictate how good the cigar is. I believe where i bought it it was around $7. While that's that the cheapest, its also not that expensive either.

While I found the Foundry heavier than the popular Acid Cigars, this is still lighter than say the Gurkhas. Its not one thats going to make you smell terrible or one that you'll taste for the next 3 days either. Thats something that very important to me. Heck Ive had people come sit by me that Ive never met just due to the fact that they liked the smell of my cigar. Nice conversation starter right?

Cigar Reviews For Normal People: Gurkha Red Witch

re-logo-1
Hello All,

Anyone who knows me knows Im not a huge Gurkha fan. I've tried a few and before recently I had not had a single one that I enjoyed. As you know in my last review, I finally found one in the Ghost. Well, Im happy to say I have found the Gurkha Red Witch. Now I'm a normal everyday guy who likes to smoke, but I dont like to get caught up in the sometimes snobbish lingo that accompanies it.

Now I usually stick to the mild to medium range. I dont like really heavy cigars. This one falls right in my range, and is exceptionally good. Nice easy draw and great Flavor. It was so good I was mildly upset when the cigar was gone, which is very surprising for me. I dont get this way with very many cigars. I would recommend this cigar to anyone. In fact I for the price, could stock my entire humidor with this and not be disappointed one bit.

Now with any smoke it depends on how the retailer maintains their humidor. Keep this in mind when selecting a place to go to buy your smokes. Too humid or too dry will really change your experience. Even if you buy them online as I usually do, make sure you have proper humidity and make sure you check on them regularly.
