Blackwater, Re-Dux

Image
You should be up in arms over the latest info on Blackwater/XE/CIA leak on what is really going on in Iraq/Afghanistan...it started with evil Dick Cheney and has not gone away...catch the Huffington Post article for more stuff on this... I am always referring you to the Vegas line on certain games...you have the reeling Cowboys a 3 pt. fav over the surging Chargers...it's at Dallas, so there may be the bias...but!...something is in the air, and it ain't pretty... Is Adam Lambert cagey like a fox, or just dumb as a post? Have you been getting your Survivor fix? Russell is as dominant a force as any player has ever been in that reality game show...and great TV... I absolutely love the Xmas season as it is bright and cheery all around...and Marsh made cookies and they are wonderful... So ND snatched up the very successful coach out of Cincy to resurrect their program, as he did there...looks to be a significant hire...can he recruit? My oh my, the Steelers have gone on a huge sl...

At the zoo

Sometimes does it seem like you live at the zoo? How else can you explain the bizarre happenings on your everyday basis? Is there any irony that the Prez receives the Nobel Peace Price as we escalate the Afghan war? That anybody in this whole wide nation takes anything that Sarah Palin seriously? That the news services can drag out the old Tiger drama as long as they have? That anyone who watches pop music can compare any of the gals to Carrie Underwood? That the motion picture business puts out a lot of crap out and hopes that something sticks...in this day in the money crunch that pro athletes make the type of money they do...the roller coaster that the gold market is on...that Al Gore flies the latest jet around to talk about green and global warming...that Hillary can look any more pissed than she does...that Congress wants to bully the BSBCS to adopt a playoff for the D-1 football...that the Saints are hot and the Steelers are not...OK, I gotta get...

This, that, etc.

The hot commodity in the MLB circuit is the potential trade of Kevin Kouzmanoff...SD moves Chase to 3rd and Blanks to LF... Sad news as Rudy of PDX gets his back worked on and is out for 6 weeks...it is just a tough road ahead for the Blazers... Chone Figgins hits behind Ichiro in Seattle...wow, that is exciting! Really! Played golf this am out at Sycuan and the weather turned beautiful and warm... No news from the Tiger drama today, thus far... Time for somebody to make some Xmas cookies...

BSBCS

Image
For four more years, at least, the BCS is the sole decider of who plays in the title game...or, who gets the opportunity to play for the D-1 title...I have to agree with my fellow colleague from the great state of Oregon that the games themselves are the best part of collegiate football...BUT, there should be a form of a playoff to figure the champ...not some ludicrous scheme that favors the rich...that being said, it's Alabama and Texas for this season's no. 1...the big money goes to those who qualify, also, for the BSBCS games...I think you see this frustrates me... What on earth were the Skins thinking? But, the play of the game, turned out to be in OT...and the refs and the upstairs crew blew the call...did you see it? It's either an incomplete pass or the bloke was down...oh, and the Bolts/Browns game...if I had bet on the Chargers giving 13 1/2 pts. and watched the 4th quarter debacle there I'd have been pissed...but, you know I don't...but just wonder... Wh...

Bye Bye Blazers

Image
Greg Oden went down with a broken patella, Rudy has a back spasm, TO is out for 2 months with a knee, Nate has to go under the knife for his leg thinger stinger...and they were horrible defensively when they were are all healthy...look for a major downturn for the PDX red and black...sorry Blazer fans, but true... So finally this is the day for the BSBCS to make their announcements to give out the $ for their selections to the bowl games...so Texas will get the nod to play Alabama for the BS title, after they looked anything like a top team in the country last night...I just can't believe the stooges who run this crap can't figure out a playoff system...OMG that Nebraska/Texas game was a crap one... I missed yesterday as I played golf early and by the time I got back, my mind was all frazzled... The best NFL games today? Colts/Tennessee Vikings/Cards Saints/Skins Chargers must score early and often today...
