AARP

Peyton Manning ... WOW! ... 7 TD passes on opening night...those of you who thought he was a step closer to AARP, fuggit about it...as the Broncos destroyed the Super Bowl Champs...the Ravens...2nd half onslaught... Here's the deal...one of the crucial times in the 3rd period...a shortish pass to the newly acquired wideout, Wes Welker...who clearly had the ball bounce on him...and it was ruled a catch...2 plays later, Denver scored...in lieu of an incompletion and a punt...and the announcers lambasted the Balt Coach for not tossing his red protest flag...wait a minute... they should have been lambasting the inept officiating ...who had that happen to them twice...same official...the umpire... THATS'S the guy... Did you see the video that the NY Times aired on the Syrian rebels?...where they lined up a group of the opposition and then shot them all, gangland style...very disturbing...and we are supporting whom?...all very confusing...just what would happen if the prese...

Starts up tonight!...OK, I have some real lulus on my fantasy team...I hesitate to tell you who...let's give it 3 weeks and I'll fess up...ha ha... I've been reading this bloke out of Fox Sports who thinks he's in the know...and says that the Eagles are on their way...and the Bolts will be bad...and also says that the Seahawks are way over rated...hmmm....one man's opinion... The Pads in a real stinker to finish up the SF series...gave up 6 dingers...embarrassing....but understandable...and now are sitting on the bottom of the west with them Giants...the Rockies come to town to bring more misery to us... Speaking of that...SDSU at Ohio St...eegads, a pulverizing will be had...I am not a fan of the old school...and the Aztecs are that...the spread is 28, and should be 48....so take the points and the Buckeyes...easily, my friends. easily... The senate OK's the Syrian attack...you ready for some shock and awe?...watch out Israel...you are part of this......

Syria Debate

I don't know...my gut says one thing, and my brain says the other...watching the Congressional delivery by Sec of St, John Kerry...to the boyz on the hill...and listening to those who just can't all know the facts...I am torn...nobody knows for sure...other than Kerry...didn't we hear the same crap right before we invaded Iraq?...weapons of mass destruction...hey, I  am NOT saying that it didn't happen...I'm just questioning the truth...and let's say for argument sake, the rebels take over...who are these rebels?...what religious faction are they?...and I hear there are no boots on the ground, in this proposal...hmmm....do you really believe that?...and that the more we delay, Syria will hide their stuff...just like Sadam did...well, he hid himself...in a hole...I digress... So, if we don't depend on the oil reserves out of that country, we are simply saying that we are fighting for the rights of humanitarianism...right?...why didn't we do that in pl...

Del Mar

My view out this fine day... Finally, we got out to the races...and it was great fun, kids...met up with our Pinnacle neighbors, the Allens...nested out at the Pavilion...and had a super table...had some eats and libations...won a little $...what could be better?...well...the weather...as it was not crazy hot...nice little breeze... Del Mar ...as they have one more time this season...on Wednesday...man, have I missed it... Syria ...and the tide is rolling in on them...the waves are growing...and there is nothing that their regime is doing to stop it...actually, on the other hand, they are antagonizing us...like a death wish...am I wrong?...it will be interesting debates by our congress...and just this delay, adds others to the mix...I like the interim...stay tuned... PGA ...figured Sergio would fold...some guys just don't have it...he doesn't...the eventual winner, Henrik Stinson, has been knocking on the door for over a couple of months now...playing real well...and it...

Freedom

OK, this was the last day prior to school starting...a 9 month ordeal that I actually enjoyed...believe it or not!...it was fresh, fun, and exciting... Labor Day ...and I tried to always go to the horse races...out at the state fair...to relax for the last time for awhile...obviously, lots of changes...but...I am still heading out to the races...but, in Del Mar ...load up my DRF PP's...going to meet our friends the Allens out there...and have a grand time...and hope to win some $...ah, this is the life...last day of freedom.... Big Brother ...without a doubt, the worst cast of characters that the show has ever had...a bunch of bums...and some real nasty peoples...bad actors...and NOBODY deserves the $...but, alas, we watch...and stomach what is there...not even sure why... Syria ...good lord, are they unbelievable?...mocking the US for backing off...what?...it's the straw...I figure that Congress will GIVE the Prez the go ahead...there is a coalition of Middle East Countr...

The Results

So I was glued to the tube...much to the chagrin of guess who...and I watched a bundle of games...beginning with Johnny Football...and Texas A&M...he is going to get his licks, kids...and I am going to lurve it...their D is questionable...they will get mauled in a couple of weeks vs Alabama ... The Ducks ...I suppose we all thought this...as they didn't miss a beat...loaded, fast, and still, unpredictable...played the Nichols St Colonels, out of Looosiana....who were so badly out coached...a guy who still runs his plays in...and bitches at all his kids...and coaches...66-3....and of course, UO put their 2nd and 3rd teamers in early....which most D-1 teams DON'T Do...all and all, a nice start... UDub ...watch out Pac 12...they are for real...and have added the fast break O...they will be the surprise team of the league...dang...I have always thought that their coach was a good one...smart enough to switch his O over...as they dominated Boise St...not  an easy thing... ...
