There really is no place like home

So I ran into Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports in the hallway connecting the various press boxes on Super Sunday, and he asked how the week was going.

"Great," I said, "but I can't wait to sleep in my own bed. . . .  And crap in my own toilet."

"I could have done without the last part," Cole said.

I now can confirm the former, but I'll refrain from commenting on the latter. 

On Monday, Mrs. PFT and I loaded up the Vanagon and made the 1,050-mile trek from Fort Lauderdale to West Virginia.  With only five stops.  (There was no Dwight Schrute-style can-peeing.)

Thanks a ton to Evan Silva and MDS for more-than-capably holding down the fort on Monday, and for reminding me once again that this train will keep rolling with or without me. 

But I'm now back behind the controls, and I'm fully prepared to face all of the comments and e-mails reminding me of the fact that I picked the Colts to win the Super Bowl.

Hell, I've already gotten 50 of them from Rosenthal.

    I'm so happy for you that you "can take a crap in your own toilet" now maybe that will reduce the pages of "crap" that you post here.

    Colts?!?!? Can I remind you that originally you picked the Redskins to win this years super bowl?

  3. The Oven says: February 9, 2010 9:25 AM

    Obama picked the Colts too. Between the both of you a complete and total kiss of death. That and those blue jerseys.

  4. Caldon says: February 9, 2010 9:25 AM

    Colts didn't lose, they are just the non winners

    You can't fire me, I quit first

    Shall I go on?

  5. bucco bruce says: February 9, 2010 9:25 AM

    Picked the Colts eh? Should have read my prediction at whatthebucs.com

  6. Bill In DC says: February 9, 2010 9:26 AM

  7. SFTitan says: February 9, 2010 9:28 AM

    "but I can't wait to sleep in my own bed. . . . And crap in my own toilet."

    I would think you were looking more forward to getting laid in your own bed but that hasn't happened since 2003.

    Welcome home Florio, you douche.

  9. topcide says: February 9, 2010 9:32 AM

    Hopefully florio Jr. cleaned up after the party.

    "I'm fully prepared to face all of the comments and e-mails reminding me of the fact that I picked the Colts to win the Super Bowl."

    No one can kill you for picking the Colts...it's not like you picked the Redskins...Oh, wait.

  11. Teek says: February 9, 2010 9:34 AM

    So I ran into Paul McCartney, Steve Jobs and Queen Elizabeth in the hallway yesterday.

    I'm just making this useless comment so I can name-drop.

  12. ManCrushBeastMode says: February 9, 2010 9:34 AM

    You werent the only one. Ive come to believe that fans are so disgusted because truthfully, the Colts are the all around better team. But they were god afwul on Sunday, and that brings a bit of a shock factor. The constant talk about "The Greatest Fans in the History of Football" doesnt help either. Saints fans should remember that until Katrina, they were right along there with the Jags as far as the amount of people who gave a shit about them. Hell, even the Rams won some random Super Bowl that no one remembers. They are doing pretty good now.

    We know it'll take a while for you to sift through all the emails looking for a way to crowbar the Browns failures into your site.

  14. Devils Advocate says: February 9, 2010 9:35 AM

    that was disgusting, really. TMI = to much information.

  15. joelsieeee says: February 9, 2010 9:40 AM

    Ladies love getting crushed in a foreign atmosphere, im sure mrs. florio is no different. not so welcome to be home.

  16. theonlyEAGLESfaniknow says: February 9, 2010 9:48 AM

    This train doesn't roll without you. It'd be some other thing I wouldn't ride.

    Welcome back. It's nice to see the lights on again.

  17. slipkid says: February 9, 2010 9:55 AM

    now go get some milk!

    "...and for reminding me once again that this train will keep rolling with or without me."

    Is this foreshadowing that you're trying to get away from this gig and try a shot at the more lucrative world of broadcasting for NBC or anyone else? Already like you better than the annoying Chris Berman, but that isn't saying much.

  19. Youngone says: February 9, 2010 10:02 AM

    Maybe you can crap in your own toilet instead of crapping into your hand and using it as mousse

  20. DeVoodoo says: February 9, 2010 10:13 AM

    To clear up any confusion, please explain to PFT Planet why you're too much of a pussy to fly?

  21. Opie says: February 9, 2010 10:15 AM

    Here's my question:

    How were you able to stop only (5) times?!? Assuming the Vanogan can maintain a speed of 60 mph, that means you stopped every 3.5 hours. Hell, we stop (3) times for a 4.5 hour drive.......

    Is your secret "strategically placed" duct tape?

  22. belicheckyoself says: February 9, 2010 10:20 AM

    Do you really have a vanagon?
    Is it a stick shift with Superlow?
    Is it for sale?

  23. tombrookshire says: February 9, 2010 10:28 AM

    Hell, I've already gotten 50 of them from Rosenthal.

    You didn't pick the Colts. It was the Redskins, remember???????
    Don't worry, next year pick the Skins and you'll be right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. ur mommas nuts says: February 9, 2010 10:44 AM

    Sweet!! Do you really have a Vanagon!??! Rock on Vdubs!

  26. nshima dot com says: February 9, 2010 10:47 AM

    Mrs. PFT? In this case, PFT is short for PERFECT.

  27. mustbechris says: February 9, 2010 10:51 AM

    *Redskins. Maybe the Raiders will be winning the Superbowl next year.

  28. WarrenMoonGOAT says: February 9, 2010 10:57 AM

    haha Florio didn't approve my comment

  29. king26 says: February 9, 2010 11:02 AM

    Maybe you can address how you were wrong about that article you wrote about the 2 point conversion? Maybe you can post the pics I put in my comment showing that he was down by contact. Or the block in the back? Maybe you can show the angle that NFL network showed to prove that it wasnt a block in the back.


    But you never admit you're wrong. No matter how much evidence you're given.

  30. foxylettuce says: February 9, 2010 11:15 AM

    In this thread: Florio's diary.

    Shouldn't you have a twitter account for these ramblings?

  31. Hugified Wang says: February 9, 2010 11:17 AM

    What did your crap smell like? I have to know.

  32. tnsteve says: February 9, 2010 6:17 PM

    You not only picks the Colts to win. You picked AGAINST the Saints in every single game they played to win for the last 2 months. Pathetic. You need to give up telling us who will win as your track record is awful.
