We. Are. There. It's the weekend. Except for those you on the West Coast. You still have an hour or so.
Use this as your open thread for tonight. Make sure you give us your biggest victory of the week in the comments too. My victory of the week is not that exciting. We finally nailed down some big projects at work. That's about it.
What's your victory of the week?

Convinced myself the Chiefs will beat the Chargers on Monday night.
And man it feels great!
I was once fired from a job two days after I waited on Matt Cassel and his wife Lauren Killian. Totally my AP moment to remember. Unfortunately also one of my stupidest moments.
I'm with you.
Two biggest victories of the week:
1. Beating a cold/flu that has plagued me all week.
2. Finding a new job.

My 55 inch flat screen finally hit the bricks after like 5 years. I’ll have to buy a new one now. Sucks.
my dad had the panel go out on his Toshiba..............

for the price of TVs these days – you should be able to bank on longer than 2 years. Ughhh… why don’t they make thinks properly anymore?

Just about all
panels for TV’s come from one manufacturer. The only real difference between a high end and a low end now is the glass in front of the panel, and the electronics inside.
I would recommend going to newegg.com before purchasing a TV. Gets you a realistic price range, and you can read the reviews for each TV without a filter. If the product is bad people there will let you know. And don’t get sucked in to buying a high priced HDMI cable. It’s digital. It either works, or it doesn’t. Buy a cheap HDMI cable and you will have the exact same quality as a high priced cable.
It was my B-day Tuesday,
so that’s a victory.
Work is getting crazy busy – we’re in manufacturing – so that’s certainly a victory.
Realizing a fellow AP blogger was my long lost buddy I hadn’t seen nor heard from in close to 10 years – absolute victory.
Loss – giving away my ticket to MNF because work is too busy to get away.
In that case, I guess my VOTW is realizing that one of my AP bretheren

So my goal would be
Reconnecting with Ransom. World has a shortage of non-douches, he’s one of them.
Other goal would be signing a contract that puts me over my sales target for there in the last week of Q3.

Anyway My VOTW goes to all the sad excuses I’ve heard this week from raider fans (my family) sorry SOB’s. U guys didn’t beat us we beat urselves. Play us again without Cassel and see how u do? Yup I’ve heard that. And even most stuff even more rediculous stuff said to me. Effing great.
Go Chiefs!!

I realize Campbell was gone, but can that really be an excuse? Lol, play us again with Berry/Moeaki/Charles would be my response.

It seems like the importance of this game is really being understated.
If we win, we become slight favorites to win the division. If we lose, we have basically no hope to win the division. Since the AFC West will almost certainly not have a wild card team, that division championship is key. So this game will probably determine who wins the AFC West.
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Oct 28, 2011 7:29 PM CDT reply actions
If
the Chargers sweep us we will have to get a better overall record then them which will be tough with our schedule. If we win that means we will be 1-1 against the Chargers. So if we end up tieing records with the Chargers the one who makes the playoffs will be the team with the better division record. That is why this game is so important.
Exactly.
I just don’t see any way we can come back and win the division if we lose Monday.

really.
I can’t do it either, worc. give me WASD anyday.
the only times I really enjoyed a multiplayer first person shooter was on the PC with Counterstrike and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
It’s just too bad the hardware demand for newer PC games are so costly
that's true - to a degree.
Planning helps with that. My last pc, I built about 6 years ago – I upgraded the RAM and video card (once each) along the way. My new one – only spent about a grand on it. So far, it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it.
I really can't either,
I get pissed and call the other people gamers, then quit. Usually

Brother in law gave me some MNF tickets…
Work is super crazy and thought about regifting them….
Now my boss told me…. I can have monday-tuesday off so I can go…
First time back to Arrowhead in 12 years…
BTW….Seats are in SEC 113…Will be the best seats I’ve ever had…
I really do not have anything beneficial to add to this conversation. More than likely I stole the response I gave from someone else. I do not believe in originality.

The Broncos site is very active, but they suck, so, it is what is.
