How sweet it is

Image
Just how on earth are the Trailblazers winning? If you look at this photo, most of these guys are out...and yet, PDX has enough to knock off the top ranked Lakers...sweet Yup, I tried to watch the PGA thing in Kapalua...no Tiger, no Lefty...no interest... Jets and Bengals...scratch my head on that...Jets aren't that good and Cincy should be good... So are you following the Leno/Conan debate? Seems like NBC is really putting Leno back at 11:35, with the 1st option given to Conan to follow him...watch for Fox to pick up the deplorable Conan and match them up...against Letterman...brings back the Carson/Bishop/Cavett days of yesteryear...how many times can Paris be on late night? By the way, how can you not isolate those who may do harm to planes...there is definitely a physical pattern here... So Toyota wants you to buy their hybrid Prius, but price it so high it makes no sense to get it over the Honda...in fact, many others... Yesterday was the celebration of Elvis's 75th birt...

The Hype

Image
The hypocrisy of the BSBCS championship is upon us...Alabama won the trophy on the field last night against the Texas Longhorns, the team who lost their starting QB five plays into the game...and then were saddled with a true frosh QB for the rest of the way...the Crimson Tide using an unbelievable boring style of play, coasted from there on in...only the triple option is worse (how'd that go for you Georgia Tech?)....and, I'm not sure Alabama is better than Boise...or Ohio St...or Nebraska...if there were a playoff, that answer would be forthcoming...boooooo I watched a show about that pair who shot down people in the DC area for like 20 days...how the police tracked them down...very tragic tale...yet, very interesting... The PGA kicked back up their season in Hawaii...of course, no Tiger...and, I'm not that interested...am I abnormal? OK, on the brighter side of things, Jay Leno is being moved back to the 11:35 time slot on NBC and bumping the deplorable Conan to the 12:0...

Manipulated

Image
I hate to be manipulated into making a choice that someone else wants me to want...like I hate: the fact that the notion of the national D-1 champ has to be either the Texas or Alabama team...'cuz the BSBCS tells us so... the fact that a football team in the nation's capitol can still use "Redskins" 'cuz its tradition... the fact that I only have 2 choices for president...and the lobbyists dictate who they are... the fact that "the christian right" tells us what can or can not be on television... the fact that the government always leeks after the fact what really happens... the fact that after 47 years the government won't release how Prez JFK was killed... the fact that Prez Bush doesn't admit that he screwed up in going into Iraq... the fact that some stars get on shows all the time, without any talent...'cuz of their agents flash big $... I'm in a bad mood...

Guns in DC

Image
One of my biggest fears in all of life...is not living it out to it's fullest...and to think that in the NBA it has been rumored that up to 75% of it's players pack a gun...for self-protection...OMG...this is a practice that must be curtailed...the latest in a long string of improprieties is the fiasco that just happened in Washington, with the Wizards (formerly the Bullets)...their star, Gilbert Arenas, pulled his gun out against...a team mate! And the team mate did the same! Who cares what the lame reason was...this should not be going on... And now, the NBA must handle the situation...it fines a player $25,000 for bad mouthing a ref, so let's see what happens...let alone, what the police may do... Staying in DC...it was humorous about the party crashers at that ball...but really not...our security to protect our Prez has to be the very best...and obviously, it's not... Across the US to PDX...the Blazers faltered down the stretch and lost to ZBo's team...a hard...

I Keep Saying

Image
Boise St. is better than I thought...I said that after their drubbing of the Dux back at the beginning of the season, and I'm saying that now after their drubbing of TCU...I do wish there was a playoff and really see where they stack up... The Blazers finally ran out of steam and players in their loss to the Mike Dunleavy Clippers...what a piece he is...good luck to the Clips as the play the Lakers Wednesday...not So Tiger is on the cover of Vanity Fair...OMG, what is going on? Sure is a lot of noise about Al Quieda lately...take off the kid gloves and deal with them, please... Tiger is a Buddhist? So I heard if he was a Christian, he could and would get some redemption...OMG Hitting the links out at Sycuan...been awhile so don't expect much... Fore!

NFL's Black Monday

Image
The regular season is over and it's time for the owners to flex their dollar bills in the NFL...it's called Black Monday...here I go... They should be replacing the GM's and not the coaches...obviously, in some situations, it is the right thing to do...but I believe it's the cards you're dealt you play with...anyway, the first to be let loose was the Skin's Jim Zorn... Man, this bowl season has gone on for a very long time, hasn't it? Tonight has a game that has interest to me...BSU vs. TCU...the Horned frogs have my vote...should be fun to watch... Did you catch the Lakers onslaught last night? Up by 40 most of the game against the mailed in Mavs...how about forking up $300 a seat for that one... The Blazers travel to LA this eve to take on the Clips...how does Dunleavy keep his job? He's the GM and the coach...has to be $... Have a great Monday, not a Black one...

Do you remember these?

I know this is going back a little...but...there is no one better at lyrics...try these on...Summer Wind, Days of Wine and Roses, Accentuate the Positive, Jeepers Creepers, Fools Rush In, Personality, Winter Wonderland, Moon River, Autumn Leaves, Dream, P.S. I Love You....yup, all those...by the legendary Johnny Mercer...sung by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, the Beatles, Doris Day, Lloyd Price, Tony Bennett, and lately, Michael Buble...if you gots the time...download these and enjoy...hey try Dinah Washington and Brook Benton, too... It's a time period that I'm really getting into and can't believe how great it was... Have you followed any of the high drama at Texas Tech with the firing of it's head coach? What a mess, and the bullying tactics are becoming less of a reality anymore...cool to see they won with out that jerk... How are the Blazers winning with so many guys injured or sick? Well, they are playing defense...prior to that they got soft, releas...
