CRAZY HORSE

Morning kids...there is some rain a coming...maybe...anyway...most eyes are on Arizona...right?...the initial blast was the Waste Management Open ...where the unveiling of the new Tiger happened...problem is...he was the old Tiger...and his short game... To be fair, he has been away...but all these blokes have...and he is as tight as a drum...and until he can loosen up...he is going to be what he is... the Trib had a scathing article on him...calling him a golfer with the dreaded yips ...hold on...back off mister...he'll be just fine...BUT...I do think his invincibility is gone... He's tremendous for the game ...witness the entire Golf Channel broadcast was on him...as others were blistering the course, Tiger was just surviving...and the peops were flocking all over to see him do what he does...the other guys playing in front of near Saturday morning at dawn crowds... Back to the Super Bowl... Another BIG deal to some...the 1/2 time entertainment...this time?... Katy...

Let's be brutally honest here...I am not a fan of the inequities of the NFL ...where the management can run afoul, and the players are held to a different esteem....the absolute joke of commissioning going on...this guy who is bought and paid for by the owners, er, league...as my son told me this am, maybe I should just enjoy it for what it is...a pseudo WWF...like pro wrasslin....ha ha... Richard Sherman ... the Hawk's ace cornerback ...is not afraid of saying it all up front... TELLING IT LIKE IT IS ...and he continues the rant about the fining of his RB Lynch, at a drop of the hat...and the elongated investigation of the Pat's Deflategate ...hmmm...anyway, his latest was a beaut...that since the players are required to be interviewed, that the commissioner, Roger Goodell , himself, should have the same demands ...I like this...by the way, the league (commissioner) has bundled many issues this season...get him at the mike, in front of all these reporters...it would be a...

After watching the conclusion of the Warrior/Bull game , I witnessed what has been the mantra for the season...for the NBA... there is no clear front runner for it... Golden State , for all it's mid season glory, lacks the half court game ...to win it all...RIGHT NOW...hmmm...doesn't mean it can't get to it...but there are a bunch of teams that have enough stuff to pull the rabbit out of...well, you know... Set aside the controversy.... the Pats and the Hawks ...I laugh at the irony...as both teams and coaches have had a past ... Pete Carroll ran out of USC...and left the school in shambles ...got nailed for scholarships...and just now, yes, just now...will have as many as the other schools...drat it... Anyway...the game itself... the Super Bowl ... is a toss up ...really...and I have no allegiance to either team...kind of think that Seattle was a bit lucky to get there...and the Pats are rolling...do think it will be a low scoring match...and whoever has the pro...

You think that New York City isn't our hub for the news?...you'd think that all of us are going through the blizzard that they are going through...and their plight is all of ours...hmmm...it is darn pretty and all...and I do lurve the snow...pictured is Central Park ...we have only been in NYC but once...a week prior to the horrific 9-11...and it appears by this morning blurb, that Boston is the city that got hit the most... We were supposed to get this big rain event ....it lasted about 30 minutes...and it was of the sprinkle variety...not sure what the weather people do around here... Where are you on this Deflategate? ...the latest is that the focus is on some poor bloke who does the maintenance on the game footballs...and the theory is...he, and he alone, decided to under inflate the balls...and I have a full head of hair...the NFL has had a series of blunders this year...and this is just another one...oh yea, the owner of the Pats is demanding an apology from the...

I suppose there is no better coach in this land...sorry, Pop...but it's true... Coach K ... of the Duke Blue Devils ...either you lurve or hate the school's team and fans...rabid, I think you might say...yet, he is the model that many coaches choose to emulate...yup, that good...he is the US's Olympic Coach...and stays in college...rather than move to the NBA...a step that many have tried...he likes where he is...anyway...he achieved a heck of a milestone... just won his 1,000th game ...what?...congrats... Downton Abbey ...just a so so episode last eve...and I think my blu ray discs should be in the mail this week...thus, I'll have the entire 6th season...and...we watch it all in about a week...by the way, the show won a SAG Award...I know, you know, I don't like the award thinger too much...it's just of note... Miss Universe ...well now...talk about goofy...did you see the judges they used?...oh my...a bunch of athletes and pseudo stars...and the judges a...

Hey to everyone out there...how's the morning?...I hear it is great weather in the PNW...64* in January is a real treat...and wonderful news for the PDX Blazers! ... Lamarcus Aldridge has decided to tough it out, forego surgery on his left thumb...and play!... As they took on the Wizards in the newly acclaimed sun belt...by the way, Wash is a solid team ...no longer a laughing stock...great PG and some gnarly bigs...anyway...it was on the pixels down here... Portland won it in the latter part of the 4th ...making some key shots...and getting some equally important rebounds... LA was solid ...BUT... their inept play on the pick and roll continues...and until...and get this...UNTIL it changes, the team is in the 2nd tier... Our bike ride the other day, included a ferry trip to Coronado Island ...one of the great places... ANYWHERE! ...where every home on it, is built different...biked all around the land, and ended up at the Hotel Del...and went down and laid on the beach...it...
