Nonsense of the Title

Image
Just where am I going to go with this?...ha ha...am I going to go to the D-1 football , as we all know as the BCS (BSBCS) champs ...where you have but 2 teams play for the coveted title...nope...or the best of the best at getting the paparazzi to follow you ...to make you the most famous fool of them all...nope...or win an Academy Award for the best picture, when it is in fact, turrible....nope...or win any best of award , and wonder just who or whom does the voting?...OK, this is what I'm getting at...the mysterious way that a bloke gets the surname, er, sir name, tagged on to, er, your name...ah ha...it just may be that you are a military officer, you know, "Good Morning, Sir", with a salute by the subordinates...or a respected teacher, that the students say, "Good Morning, Sir" ...now, we are getting somewhere...or, you get it 'cuz you are a famous golfer, Nick Faldo, and some bloke annoints you, "Sir Nick Faldo" ...the rules are....wait, ther...

Playoffs

First of all, congrats to Chip Kelly's Ducks for winning the Fiesta Bowl last eve...not their best effort, but significant nonetheless...as they proved once again that this is an elite team in the nation...if there was a PLAYOFF SYSTEM this season, this team just may have won it all...alas, there isn't...and Oregon will have to settle being number 2 or 3... So where then does Chip end up?... UO already has said that if he goes, the O Coordinator takes over...most scribes have him interviewing with the Browns , Bills , and Eagles ... Philly seems to have the most to offer...and for the life of me, I don't understand why the Chargers don't get in the mix... Watched the game at Barley Mash ...with my buddy who is from Kansas, and is a rabid KSU fan...a small wager and loads of the frothy stuff to make this one a great viewing...there must be 100 TV's in this place...set up very similar to the old "Tool Crib" in downtown Salem...you walk in an...

Non-Partisan

POLITICS ...the beauty of New Jersey's Chris Christie ...is he calls 'em as he sees 'em...and he did a rip job on the Speaker Boehner ...ha ha...I detest that guy...thus, I lurved every bit of it...said what Johnny Boy was and was not doing...what Chris tried to do...and let the rest of us know...both republicans, so, you can't say it was politics...like partisan type... Oh my, the Clips are creating another streak... the bad way ...as they got pummeled by the Warriors ...in Oakland...back to back losses to very fired up teams...you know, 17 games is most of the season in college hoops...in the NBA, it's about a fifth...counting the playoffs...hang on to your shorts, it's a very loooong season and will have the waves of problems and successes... the Lake Show is next...Friday...can't miss game... The Florida Gators are the 3rd best team in the nation? ...what?...their season is very similar to that of Notre Dame ...sorry Irish, but it's true......

Fiscal De-Cliffed

Image
Congrats to the Congress Peops...for pulling off the party compromise and passing the bill to avoid the "Fiscal Cliff" ...really, the lobbyists broke down and allowed the vote to get through...so, you should be asking,  why did they do that?...where does it benefit the fat cats?...it has to be somewhere... I'm happy, but skeptical, at the same time... BSBCS ...what a frigging joke that Northern Illinois was part of the BCS picture...hey, they put up a fight...but were definitely a full notch below the elite status...take those computer rankings and shove them where the sun don't shine...pick out 8 blokes and let them decide... Yesterday's Bowls...ha ha, Big Ten Bowl Day...BTBD ...one that will cast a huge shadow on the beginning of '13...they lost all but one...a miraculous V by Northwestern...the fate of the others...Michigan, Purdue, Nebraska, and Wisconsin... all big L's ...losers...ha ha... The mighty Clips of LA are winless in 2013...got s...

FIRED!

The inevitable happened...the firing of the Bolt's GM and Head Coach ...which I have been bantering about for over a year +...by all accounts, Norv is a great guy...which may be the problem... CH thinks that the boss needs to have a little edge to himself in this ferocious league... the Pink Slip Day ...where 7 teams released their guys... Chi's Lovie , really? In San Diego, I blame it all on me ...what?...Before I got here, both the beisbol and football teams were flourishing...as I have been told repeatedly by my golfing blokes...and I brought the Oregon rain and bad fortune to this grand old city...ha ha...not really...this football team has been a victim of extreme bad management...the beisbol team has had a lack of $...anyway, today we talk about a new direction...with a number of names being thrown around...let's start with a guy that is innovative, a great draft, and a young, mobile QB... Let's see... you are getting huge accolades for getting preggers ....

Undefeated

It's a different hoss every night for the mighty Clippers of LA ...the hottest team in the league...in as much as they went UNDEFEATED for the month of December!...and beat down the Jazz last night for their 17th straight win ...what?... the Clips? ... Jamaal Crawford was the guy...as he hit some miraculous shots to propel them to their big V...OK, it took a lot of CPIII , too...as Blake had an off night... let's look at this bloke Crawford ...was a stud in Atlanta, then went to PDX...where he was lost in a turrible rotation...and comes here and Coach Vinny has given him the green light to score...just another piece to the puzzle....that fits...off to Denver...let's be honest here...you are not going to win 'em all...but they play hard every night...and that's all you can ask... The NFL finished up their elongated regular season last night...in a do or die match with the Choking Cowboys and the ill named Redskins ...how does this fit any more?...just call...

Bowlin'

Your Oregon State Beavers went a bowlin'...right in the heart of Texas...San Antone...and took on the very average Longhorns of Texas ...sorry kids, but it is true...and had the game the way they wanted...I'm talking the Beavs ...one thing that stopped the surge... their QB Taz, Waz, Vaz, or something like that was having an off day...wait, a turrible day...and should have been up by FOUR scores...really?...really!... his decision making was legendarily bad ...and some are blaming it on the O line...occasionally...but, mostly it was him...the play by play guy, you know like a Mark Gilman (sorry for the comparison, Mark), but you know, the guy that wouldn't say these things...said that the QB should be switched!...what?...and the abomination of the end of the 1st half, not calling a time out to do a FG... C'mon Beaver Nation , you are now up in arms...yet, you were going crazy at the fact that the Life Of Riley wouldn't replace the season beginning starter, M...
