Good Monday to all....
So, The USA is out of the World Baseball Classic. Two teams in the final... CUBA & JAPAN... Now, I am thinking about this on the train this morning and I actually think it is a good thing. If the USA had breezed through and kicked everyone else’s butts...well then the magic might be gone from the res tof the world. USA gets knocked out and it builds BUD's little World Game up.
Message to the INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITEE... OK folks, wanna go through why you cancelled Baseball as a sport? Or for that case... Softball? What, the USA is too tough in these sports? hummmmm....what do you think now dudes and dudettes of the IOC?
Wondering why sports that other countries dominate in never get spoken about regarding dissolving them?
FIFTIES WEEK for the American Idol Contestants... should be a fun week. I think that Lisa might be in the crosshairs as should Kevin, but his fan base is still very strong.
How are you doing in your basketball pool? I have 30 games correct and I am sitting in TWENTY-FIFTH PLACE in my pool! I guess it is not bad for someone who does not even follow college hoops.
Need to bow my head here for a second and say a prayer for my friend Ed's family. Ed passed this Saturday of Leukemia... A great man with an incredible sense of humor...you will be missed my friend...
Jack Bauer continues on his mission to save the world this evening... Love the concept...love the show...
Another day... remember to smile all the time...even when it hurt, because that is when it most useful.
Well.. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all....
So, the US team is out of the World baseball Classic... why am I not surprised... Now we can get down to some real baseball... I mean did ANYONE stay awake until 4:00am to watch any of those Japan/Korea matches?
I see the FCC fined CBS and it's affiliates for showing teenagers in semi-dress, partying and alluding to sex during an episode of "WITHOUT A TRACE". So, a show that airs at 10:00pm with the premise that teens need to be watched closer by their parent s gets fined?
Really now... let's think about this...Oprah had a show where it was discussed in graphic detail what happens at teen sex parties and she was not fined because it was educational. The same information on "Without A Trace" is indecent... say it with me...HUMMMMM
A man touches a woman's chest on "Will & Grace" is funny, but the same thing on "A Surreal Life" is indecent. (OK, I know the whole concept of that show is indecent, but that is another story).
Has the FCC completely lost their minds? Do they understand their job is not to cower before a small group of zealots, but to represent all of the people of the US? Something needs to be done here or they will continue to get even more close-minded.
Big Dance is going on... as usual, I grabbed a sheet and picked...Should be funny, as I have little interest in College Hoops, but will put a few sheckles down to make it interesting.
Players Championship going on now... love that tournament. Most likely since I actually have played the TPC Sawgrass Course. Will you be able to find me on the couch this Sunday watching...
Well... I will touch base with you over the weekend.
Hope you enjoy the rants...
