Brett Favre Retires

After 17 years Brett Favre retires, no really. I hate to say it, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that I am old. I clearly remember when Brett Favre came into the NFL as an Atlanta Falcon. And think about that, after one year in Atlanta they traded Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers for a 17th round pick, can you say OOPS.
Being a Dallas Cowboy fan it is pretty obvious that I am not a Green Bay Packer fan, however, if there is one guy I really respect in Pro sports, it is Brett [...]



End of Summer

With the Labor Day holiday behind us, we can consider summer over, yeah!!
Kids are back in school and there are a lot of things to look forward to. Labor Day signifies a lot of things for me. I know that next weekend will start the NFL Football season and give us some more quality sports to watch, along with a little Fantasy Football.
The biggest thing I look forward to is some cooler weather. Having spent most my life in South Texas and the last 10 years in Mississippi I have a real love for fall. Summer is always great when [...]



89th PGA Championship

It has gotten to the point with Tiger Woods that if you are a Pro Golfer, and you wake up on a Saturday morning and see his name at the top of the leaderboard, you have to know it is up to him. You could shoot your best score ever, set records, but if Tiger is on, it’s all but over.
And this weekend looks like it’s another case of Tiger time at the PGA Championship.
Tiger looked upset that he only shot a 63 to tie the Majors record, instead of a 62 to have it to himself.

Interesting Sports Day

Yesterday, Saturday August 4th, 2007 was a very interesting day in sports.
Baseball - Barry Bonds hit # 755 to tie Hank Aaron’s career home run record, a record that a lot of people thought would stand for a lot longer time than it did.
Football - The NFL Hall of Fame inducted 7 new members. Michael Irvin, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Matthews, Gene Hickerson, Charlie Sanders and Roger Wehrli. The highlight had to be Michael Irvin’s speech. Michael seems to have realized the importance of God and family after a rocky end to his career and what he said will certainly be [...]



Mississippi closing only Ice Skating Rink

In a move that I must admit really hurts me to the core, Mississippi is losing it’s only Ice Skating rink. The Ice Park is scheduled to lock their doors and turn off the equipment on August 8, 2007.
I moved my family to this area in 1997, and both my daughters started Ice Skating. 10 years later, my oldest daughter is still loving the sport and has begun coaching at the rink. Not only will she be losing her job, she will be losing the sport she has been passionate about since she was 8.
I am not sure who I [...]



Dan Patrick

After 18 years Dan Patrick is leaving ESPN. I do pay attention to sports as much as I once did, but, Dan was a staple on ESPN and helped make it so popular years ago. There was a time when Sports Center was my default show whenever it was on, which was basically all the time.
Good luck Dan!



Dale Jr. Moving On

It was good to see Dale Earnhardt, Jr. make a decision about his future. I was not the biggest Dale Earnhardt fan, at least not at first. But, I would love to see Junior join Richard Childress and drive the black # 3 Chevrolet that his dad made so famous.
Junior is different than most. He has incredible skill, a clear head, great vision and an outstanding attitude. If you watch and listen to him race, it is hard not to at least respect him as one of the best in Nascar today.
My picks for the team Dale Jr. will join, [...]



What is the truth?

What is the truth ?
Does it matter?
Today it seems that the truth takes a backseat to the opinion. Truth, to many (at least the MSM) is not important, the opinion is. And how popular and how well marketed the opinion, how successful the story. And if the truth does not make the story as interesting, then just slant the opinion for the desired result.
Just look at the stories in the news. Is it truth or opinion that makes it to headlines?

Kwan made the Olympic Team ?

I guess this seems out of character for me, but Figure Skating is something I am pretty involved in. My oldest daughter Danielle is a Figure Skater, and at the Novice level she too has Olympic dreams. It is a tough sport to work your way to the top.
I am sure I am in the minority on the issue of Michelle Kwan being “given” a spot on the Olympic Team. Yes she has done a lot for the sport, but, there are others who have worked hard over the last few years that now deserve the spot.
I thought [...]



NFL - Race an issue

I really do not understand this. Why do people have to be racially motivated to stir up trouble. In an article on ESPN by Michael Smith, he says…
“And so the NFL’s diversity record remains six African-American coaches out of 32. A disappointing loss and an opportunity lost, for sure. But as can be the case with blowouts, minority coaches’ going one-for-nine (and counting) isn’t as bad as it looks.” Link - Race an issue, but networking is still the key
Why is this even a statement? If he checked the population records he would find that the African Amercian population stands [...]
