    2012 New Orleans Saints

    That was pretty amazing to see Hixson playing CB the other night. His coverage looked sound on the plays I viewed. Jim Mora and Jim Haslett probably fainted when they heard the news.

    2012 London Olympics

    Billy “White Shoesâ€￾ Johnson is one of the first guys who took up clownish celebrations, although I don’t remember him being an arrogant type. http://youtu.be/K0EVm7fi0iQ?t=2m17s

    2012 London Olympics

    I found myself pulling for May and Walsh against the Chinese. Still the comments made toward the Italian girl the other day rub me the wrong way. Walsh made an excellence save on a ball late in the final set which somehow she converted into a winner. It may have saved the set and the match for...

    Live Stream for Mars Landing

    I believe former astronaut and now NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, selected by Obama, was in the room at the time of the landing. Obama also selected a lady as Deputy Administrator. So, White males are locked out at the very top. It's still gratifying to know what the actual score is.

    2012 London Olympics

    I agree with y’all, Misty May-Treanor and Kerry Walsh-Jennings are too out there for my taste. The girls from the Czech Republic demonstrated how to compete with dignity. They lost to Kessy/Ross of the USA, but never showed any obnoxious behavior during the match. Kessy/Ross got into it with...

    Those guys sure were elated at the successful landing, and rightfully so. Hopefully everything will execute flawlessly from here on out.

    Coming Financial Crisis Worse Than ’29?

    Reading that tends to get one a little angry. I don’t think it’s too strong to say that the country has been raped and pillaged. Here’s another one of the signs of collapse that is noteworthy: 37. Over the next 75 years, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion...

    2012 Minnesota Vikings

    I can’t really say I disagree with the approach of letting Harrison Smith work with the second team until he is fully comfortable. If it is just a move to appease a certain segment of the team that might get offended by his working with the number ones, then that is a different story. I...

    More ridiculous media crap

    Meanwhile, has there been a backlash against Israel, or is there just a bunch of crickets chirping? Wasn’t it just last month that Netanyahu called African illegal immigrants “infiltratorsâ€￾ and a policy was set in motion to round them up. I guess what a 23 year old athlete post on Twitter...

    Coming Financial Crisis Worse Than ’29?

    You can’t predict what the psychopaths who run the world’s financial scheme will do next. More kicking the can down the road, austerity, bank holidays, seizing pension funds, or World War III – there’s no telling what’s up their sleeve. ‘Idiots' controlling the world's economies - gold in...

    2012 Wimbledon

    The Connors-Borg-McEnroe era was some of the finest tennis that you’ll ever see (even with the old wood and metal racquets - :smile:). When all is said and done and the smoke clears this era, with the big three, is every bit as stupendous, if not more. The records and stats these men are...

    In case anybody is wondering the juniors finals are all set. In the girls’ finals we have Elina Svitolina of the Ukraine taking on Eugenie Bouchard of Canada. Luke Saville (AUS) takes on Filip Peliwo (CAN) for the boys’ title. One player (Mitchell Krueger) from the US made it to the...

    2012 Wimbledon

    Yes, it should be a good match-up between Murray and Federer. Murray has the edge in victories from their previous meetings. Andy has not beaten Roger in major event, however. A bad break for Radwanska, she has taken ill with some sort of throat infection. I thought she looked a step slower...

    I have not seen Brian Baker play. I’ll try to catch some of his upcoming match just because his story is compelling. In the last 5 and 1/2 years he has something like 4 hip surgeries plus Tommy John surgery. After Years of Injury, a Strong Character Emerges

    2012 Wimbledon

    The 5th set in the Federer – Benneteau match may have been lopsided, but the 4th set was great drama that was decided by a tiebreaker, a real nail biter. If Benneteau had not had an adrenalin crash in the 3rd after taking the 1st two sets, Roger could very well be gone.
