Don't look now, but the mighty Ducks of Eugene Oregon...are on the hot seat by the NCAA...recruiting violations...for like 4 years...and they call it preliminary...but have released some of what they have found...it's in the early stages...stay tuned...some of the penalties even include firing of Coach Chip...eegads....stop the insanity...have to think all of them Beaver believers are rejoicing... Jeremy Lin...another look...watched what the Heat did to him...put big time pressure on him...and he looked lost...slow and methodical...and very vulnerable...maybe, he's just tired from all the hoopla...I mean he came from nowhere and now is putting up big minutes...the jury is out... The Rookie/Frosh NBA All Star Game...in Orlando...a dunk fest...and kind of a joke...but...a couple of things....the Wall guy can PLAY....and if Ricky Rubio was in NYC or LA he would be the rave...watch out for the Lakers trying to get him in a trade before the March 15 deadline...they are onl...

De Oscars

You know my feeling about the "award season"...it's in the eyes of whom that make the "winner?"...ha ha...probably the best crew who decides just may be the Academy of the Oscars...people in the biz...albeit, most of 'em are a bit older....er, my age...but still...it's not the media or writers or something like that...so good...HATE the acceptance speeches...imagine getting like that when you get a coaching award...I'd like to thank God... So we have a glut of oil...and yet the price of gas is pointing skyward...so this is a ploy by the gas companies to make MORE money?...if you have any judicial clout...it's time to use it NOW... Idol final 24...well... the panel is going to add one more guy...my choice is the big baritone...so...is there a big time player in the mix?...I really like the guy who is a teenager that is Italian...ha ha...that's the best description I can come up with...so far so little to go by...on the other hand or channe...

Mid Term Report

So, how is your NBA team doing?  If you are a Laker fan, you have mixed feelings...tuff at home and abysmal on the road...if you are a Heat fan, you are real happy...the leader in the club house...if you are a Clipper fan...you lurve watching the dunk fest...if you are a Blazer fan...you are worried...fact is... the Bulls, Heat, and the Spurs are the best right now...by the way PDX fans...SA sat their big boys for your game...when you whomped them in the Rose...too many games in too tight a schedule... Tuscon is hosting the PGA Match Play...and lo and behold...16 upsets in the 1st round...Tiger survived...fun stuff...Golf Channel... The GOP debate in Arizona...is everything going on there now?  I mean the Cactus League for the baseball boyz is on there...wow...probably a good time to live in the desert...oh yea, the debate...my take...I would name Newt as my running mate if I was Mitt or Rickie...he is one smart dude... Is the premise used on this version of Survivor un...

It's beisbol time!. ..Sure, the new season starts it up...in Arizona...the Padres have made a gaggle of moves and...I am mildly interested...well..more than that...renewed optimism since they changed GM...yea... Did you see the Bachelor ...he is so blinded...by the string bean model...ha ha...lurved the reaction by Kacie B in the limo...shame on you bible belter...ha ha...she was a big swearer in that sequence...ha ha...actually she was my fav... Whoa!  What was that effort that the Blazers put forth last night?  Wait, that was pathetic...35-9 or so...early on...OMG!...and you who keep supporting your PG...guess again...he is the worst ranked guard in the NBA...and he made Fisher look good...ha ha...he's all yours...p-i-t-i-f-u-l....and the news about Oden...$24 million dollar man who is completely broken...sad tale...

Prez Day

Image
Is this a holiday?  Geez, I remember in my teaching days that any day off during the regular grind, was a welcome day of relief...how many times can I say "day" in a sentence?...who is your fav or most memorable Prez?...with my age and all...and he who affected my life the most...well... It's a thankless job at times...reserved for the very elite...most of the time...it is the upper 1% of the population that get the opp to be the chief...especially now...as the cost to just run for the office is exorbitant...but, it's the ultimate journey for them type...and us common folk are the ones that benefit or suffer from their quest...and, I have to admit a very interesting 16 months observing the process...as they slosh through all the states as they get their message out...and let the people judge and vote...anyway...my choice is... JFK ...the impact of the upcoming wars...the unsettling civil rights...the goofy years of high school...the emergence of television...was he ...

LOSING. ..at home...which prevented their 100th straight...you heard me right... 100! ...and...back to the boyz... Michigan taking the pundits fave, Ohio St ...and finally...
