Back When

Image
The Blazers ...and the good times of signing the top center in the collegiate draft...in lieu of the top scorer in it...well, it backfired big time...as Greg Oden , again...lays out another year...poor big fella, has the weakest knees of them all...that same bug that be- felled the real star of PDX, BRoy ...I don't get the monetary thing of re-signing Oden for boocoo bucks and he is to sit out, yet another season...here is what they thought they were getting way back when... OK, call me weird and wacky, but....as we were out and about yesterday...on our way to Solano Beach to Xmas shop at the Cedros District ...we passed the Mormon Temples that have a Nativity Scene in their viewing compound ...what?  It seems to me that they don't believe that Jesus is the son of God ...thus why would they have the display?...is it sarcasm?...well, after some internet searching it was found...by my crack team of investigators (Marsh)...that the reasoning was...to let it be known that ...

Will this story go away?...the potentially annulled marriage of your gurl Kim K to Kris H just keeps going on and on...and on Good Morning America , he was asked more about the split...and he was upset about it...ha ha...the only reason he is there is because of your K fam , or former fam...geez, this is just awesome journalism ...and, I keep saying I'm not going to talk about the K thing ...boooooo... Blockbuster trade axed by the NBA owners ...in what appeared to be a good trade for all 3 parties, some of the owners, not involved, duh , said no way Jose...the Lakers were going to pick up PG Chris Paul and give up C Pau Gasol and PF ( K fam member) Lamar Odom ...sounded OK to me...hey, LA would have lost two of their top 5 guys for this trade and made them WORSE ...up north, sad news, that BRoy is going to retire from the Blazers ...his knees are shot and it's time to hang up the converse... No ball player, any time, any where, ever, is worth $250 million dolla...

Money Money

'Tis the season when the pro baseball and pro basketball boys sign on for boocoo bucks ...just take a look at the salaries garnered by Albert Pujols, the SS Reyes, closer Heath Bell...to name but a few....and... the Padres , after losing Bell, picked up Houston Street as their finisher...got him from Colorado...and the rumor was we wanted to give them ODog in exchange...and they wanted nothing to do with him...another part of the disaster that former GM, Jed Hoyer , left...boo...but yea, for the new acquisition by the new GM... Watched the SDSU / UCD hoop game last night...finally, the Bill Grier led team has turned the corner...recruited some decent frosh and will be in the mix in another year...says me...however, the Aztecs are too quick...and came back from a ten point deficit and pulled away late...I'm telling you, Steve Fisher , can coach...and they are 9-2...more, but in football... SDSU did join the Big East , only....as I told you yesterday...it should be calle...

The Attack

Image
I will never forget the description of the attack on the US of A by the Japanese... Pearl Harbor ...by my mother when I was but a little boy...and had fears of an attack for the next 5 years thereafter...thanks mom...on this day in December, the 7th... "Day of Infamy" , as described by our Prez Roosevelt...and since, could not fathom their rationale...it must have been a death wish...makes no sense at all...and now, Japan is one of our better allies...weird, huh... And felt like nothing like that could ever happen to us, again...and then the Bin Laden attacks...goes to show how evil some people can be...just a waste of humanity ... More much more mundane things...did you catch the Michael Buble Christmas Show?   I think he's our last good crooner...great personality and great voice...still haven't heard his Xmas CD...am not in the merry mood, yet... My achilles is back to normal...and my goal is to bet back and walk the course...won't be today, as it is ...

Good News

Well, it was needed in the worst way...a road win...lordy, a win anywhere... the Bolts took apart a woefully weak secondary and whupped the recently fired coached Jax Jags ...don't downplay the V, as SD needed something to ease the pain of 6 straight weeks of futile play and... COACHING ...it was cringe worthy listening to the Gruden led announcers play up the coaching ability of the Charger's guy, Norv Turner ...give it a break, boys...you and I could have got SD through last night's game...well, that's probably a horrible statement, and sooo wrong...sorry...but, it looked like the team of old... My esteemed northern Oregon colleague ... the Rose will be a beaut...two contrasting styles and will be fun to figure who can dominate...just ask the Beavs how good Wisconsin is...we got our tree up and all the lights...cool stuff...and since the Condo paint is done, we now need different art work...eegads, didn't figure on that...by the way, have you ever seen so ...

So just when is the right time to put up your Xmas tree?  Wait, you can't write that, it must be Christmas tree ...and are there colors that are supposed to be used...and can you really use an artificial one...or must be a fresh cut...it seems like the stores unleashed their attack before the Thanksgiving Holiday ...and aren't we all talking about Black Friday ...and..how much the nation needs us to spend to keep the economy flowing...what?...or, are you one of those who really goes with the "meaning" of the season...you are out there, somewhere...I just can't wait to have my boy with us for the time we have...simple stuff, really...and we are erecting ours just as soon as the painting is completed...probably tomorrow...and...ours is purple and white... As I was coming home from Sycuan yesterday, I was listening to Cousin Brucie on XM , the 60's...his guest was none other than Darlene Love ...got much of her fame for recording under the guidance of the c...

And the title goes to

The BSBCS poll is out...and LSU and Alabama play for the title...if they would use a 4 team playoff, the Duckees would be the 1st alternate...as the afore mentioned were 1 and 2, followed by my sleeper team, Oklahoma St as 3, and the Stanford Cardinal as 4... Let's get after this... Oregon scored when they needed to in a pasting of the Bruins...and OSU whupped Oklahoma, more than I thought... Houston got ripped by Southern Miss and fell way off the charts.. .Wisconsin beat MSU in a thriller...and Stanford moved up 'cuz they didn't play anyone...boo...so it's the Rose for Oregon and Wisconsin ...a very good game...there was some rumblings that the Aztecs were not getting a bowl bid at 8-4 and UCLA was at 6-7...boo... It was announced that your gurl, Madonna , is to be the prime performer at the Super Bowl...OMG...what decade are we in?...and why?...boo... Stop the golf world now... Tiger won ...albeit, it was his own tourney... BUT ...he had all the...
