Farmer's Insurance Open

Image
Got the call to go to the Farmer's Insurance Open out at Torrey Pines ...first of all, I am going to tell you that there is no better setting in the world...OK, maybe Kapalua ...and the weather was terrific...had some special passes so we got in the "tent area" ...and had backed seats on the 15th green...just a treat...as we usually hoof it all over the place...which we did for the first couple of hours...until we stumbled on the benefits that we didn't know we had...oh yea, the golf...it's looking like a Bill Haas tourney...there are others lurking or leading, but he's been there and is long...which on the south course is a must...how about Lefty ?...oops, didn't make the cut...lots of holes to go...and Bubba (pictured)...struggling and may not make the cut... The GOP is a mess...sorry Repubs , but it's true...do you really want Mitt ?...I don't think so... Rickie ?...naw, no dough... Ronnie ?...you are not that crazy... Newt ?...so muc...

Nope, Not Yet

Your Clips are not there yet...they have the spunk, but not the size...and they don't have Kobe , or somebody like him...sure, nobody does...it was a nice game...full of spats, and great plays...the Lakers still have it on 'em...other stuff...did you see where Oregon's own, Kevin Love , now of the Minnesota Wolves...signed a 4 year pact for $60 million ...not too shabby...and your Blazers , tuff at home, yet woeful away from the Rose Garden...still think that LeBron is not the great player that Kobe is... The Navy Seals are in a league of their own...it's like what you see in the movies...as they rescue a pair of hostages in Somalia...and the captors?...all met their maker...er, they are dead... The Farmer's Insurance Open starts up out at Torrey Pines today...highlighted by Lefty ...your fav, Tiger , is over in the Dubai desert...playing in a tourney, where he gets a $1 million appearance fee ...yup, I would have done it, too...I came 4 inches from g...

Snub

Image
Ha ha... the oldest form of sticking your nose up on someone else...the infamous "snub" ... hey, you aren't there ...in Oscars terms...it's when you don't get a nomination that somebody deems you worthy...this time around it appears to be "The Bridesmaids" ...well, from CH , I say balderdash ...are you kidding me?...we saw it a couple of nights ago....we gave it a C+ ...mildly funny and turribly predictable...so...there you go.... Tried like the dickens to find the GOP debate last night...turned out it was on NBC later on...boo...and your boy, Mitt, released his taxes for 2010...paid $3 mill ... 14% ...compared to other rich, fat cats?...below...booo... Newt in the 30% ...oh well... The Bachelor has gotten the wool pulled over his eyeballs...it's Vienna, er, Courtney , all over again...ha ha...he's the winner...oh wait, she says she's the winner...OK, she is really unlikeable... Netflix is finally sending out "Midnight In Par...

Duck to Buc?

Hey, it was purnt near the move of the decade...rumored that the Duck's Chip Kelly was bolting to the NFL...and the Oregon nation was going wild...names starting to pop as the replacement...BUT...it is apparent that Chip came to his senses and is staying put...let's hope...he's the most innovative guy out there... Did you watch the NFL yesterday?...great games...and, my pix were right...however... I'm not a fan of the bloody FG as the difference maker ...and that was what happened... the Raven's bloke missed and the Giant's skinny minny made... Don't blink...there is another debate tonight in Florida ...here it is... Mitt is going to open up his tax returns...last gasp, as I see it...and the other three will unleash their money and dogs on Newt ...what you see is what you get, there...still, anybody's guess... American Idol on the Midway ...right in my neighborhood...3 blocks away...I can't believe I missed it...must have been away......

NFL Playoffs

The Semis ...it's when I watch...and you can make a case for each of the teams in the Ravens / Pats fray...one has a great D and the other has a poor one...one has a great O and the other has a poor one... BUT ...it is in Massachusetts...so that's where I go...and, Tom Brady is tough... the other one.. .I think the best team left. ..the NY Giants ...travel to SF and play them Niners ...should be a great one...yup...and hang on to your cap...it should be windy and rainy...boo... It was Newt in a huge upset!... SC talked and it was not Mitt ... by 14 points ...it's clear to me that this is the direction of the GOP ...will Romney get the clue?...nope, he'll trudge on and spend big money from his Super Pac...and you want your mega negative ads...just wait for the Florida reaction...we will really see if you can buy an election... 85 year old Joe Paterno finally lost his life...trying to withstand all of the internal team problems probably did him in...reall...
