My Take

Image
Hey, I just want a great game ...and if , history is just that...it will be a very close game...BUT...I'm not sold on the ability of Coach Riley to get his men up...so...he has to control the ball...take an early lead, that the Ducks seem to give...and then have 15 play series and hold on for dear life...BUT...sorry Beav fans , I don't think he has that type of control...and...the speed, confidence, innovation of the Ducks will be too much... And, I'm going to say it again... I want a great game... As I have told you earlier, the Padres continue their fire sale... AGonzo is gone...is Heath Bell that far behind?  Sad, really... Well, we are definitely Cali folk now...got our licenses and registered the cars...wow, first test I've taken in about 40 years...they confiscated the plates and destroyed the Oregon licenses...they seemed to take great joy in it, too...what? The Blazers have now lost 6 in a row...I'm not telling you anything you don't know.....

Cher

Hey, it's the time that we talk about the amazing people of the year...OK, the last 45 of them...and I can't think of one that has remained so popular through all of those years as... CHER ...born Cherilyn Sarkisian a year before me...dropped out of high school at 16...got involved with the likes of the one and only Phil Spector ...and promptly became a back up singer...and talk about some great songs...the Righteous Bros. "You've Lost That Lovin Feelin" , the Crystals "Da Doo Run Run" , the Ronettes "Be My Baby" ...just to name a few...and then combined with one of her fellow back ups and formed a group called "Caesar and Cleo" ...which turned into ... Sonny (Bono) and Cher ....and if there is a better song of that era than "I Got You Babe" ...well, there isn't...and they then went on to host a TV show called "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" ...fast forward through divorces and a number of solo songs...she...

NBA

In a season that seems to last forever...my early season thoughts... The Heat ...so hard to merge 3 star types in a short period of time...and the lame duck coach... just when does Pat Riley take over ?  LeBron could not have handled his leaving any worse than he did...I don't begrudge him for leaving when he wanted, rather than when they wanted to trade him...still, underachieving team right now...relax, they'll be in the hunt in 3 months... but with another boss ... Lakers ...what, a 4 game losing streak?  I get to watch a lot of them down here and they are playing real passively for sure...Artest is out of control offensively and Fisher is sooooo slow, he can't guard any of the PGs anymore...Kobe is struggling with his shot, but he'll and they'll be just fine...win it all?  I don't think so with this lineup...expect a change or two... Celts ....deepest team in the league and I think the front runner for the champs...man, they seem to get along so well...a ...

Undone

The dismantling of the Padres is in the works...think about it...you are not resigning your catcher, 2B, SS, CF, and three of your top 6 pitchers ...your top two players are in their last year of their contract...and there is a lot of question marks about what is going on...and NONE of it good...and with this happening, they want you to blindly, reup for next year's season tix...I don't think so...maybe, there is a master plan in the works...but boy is it hidden... bah humbug ... SDS coach Brady Hoke ...the ongoing rumor is that Minnesota is going to offer him their job...and now the Aztec alumni has come up with over $5 mill in bonus bucks to keep him here... rally around the Xmas tree ... Bolts ...and they are playing with great purpose... Rivers is remarkable despite the awful play calling by the coach Turner ... and the defense remains the BEST in Pro ball...next up is the Raiders ...here and it will be another test...and, as you know, I never bet on the NFL ... ...

Wiki Leaks

So have you been following the WikiLeaks ?  Just how does a 22 year old get in the loop?  This is the best we can do for our spy network?  I'm a confused guy trying to figure out this fiasco...and the world does not need to know what we are doing...am I right?  Now, we spend countless hours and money back tracking and saying we are sorry... This guy who wants to blow up the Pioneer Square in PDX...as the people are celebrating the Xmas tree lighting...he need not be living...sorry, it's how I feel... I miss DWTS...the skating show is real lame...

BSBCS

Image
I don't get it...the BSBCS ...the Ducks are 1st in the AP poll, the USA Coaches poll, the Harris poll, and they are 2nd in the BCS poll ... what?   And the same fate for the Wisconsin Badgers ....ahead of the Stanford Cardinals in all the polls, yet behind 'em in the BCS... screwed up I tell you ... GET A PLAYOFF you spineless college presidents!!!! My top 2 teams in the nation right now...is in fact the Ducks and Badgers ... And oh by the way, I can't tell you how bad I want Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks to manhandle the Auburn Tigers ... Did you catch the Bolts ripping the eastern writer's fav , the Colts , last night?  The D did a terrific job on Peyton and it wasn't ever a game ... And this..think there is a problem...for the last 8 seasons...when the Raiders have an extra week (bye week) to prepare for their opponent...they have LOST ... Well, I'm headed to the golf course .... don't hate me ...

So You Say

And this is sarcasm at it's upmost... Nice job Miami ...first for firing your FB coach just after you lose a game to a South Florida...and then to the Heat for probably running your Pro Coach out of town...'cuz you have no inside game...and up the 95, you'll probably can your Gator coach...just what has he done for you lately?  By the way, what is Bobby Bowden doing? I don't get it...the state of England ...you have this family that you pay for...and they have no obligations other than acting royally...and they find somebody to marry in to the clan...and then you all go gaga over the act...that's some country you run...wouldn't it be better, if every 4 years, there was an election to bring in another camelot ? What a pathetic effort by the Beavs yesterday...how about bringing your offense in to the 21st century...and just what the heck does your coach, Riley, do during the games...it's the Life of Riley if you ask me...hey, bring your A game against...
