Well the football season has started as a total bust for me...Dawgs 1-2, Vikings 0-2. Not sure what to think of the Dawgs at the moment...maybe A.J. coming back will be a boost. As for the Vikings...what the heck is going on? Is this the same team that was a few yards and a bad throw away from the Super Bowl a couple of months ago? Brett has thrown more interceptions in two game as he did all year last year. I know the Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice being out does not help, but come on...PLEASE!
The NFL has a different look to me this year. Some friends of mine needed another player for fantasy football and asked me to get in. I've never been into it before, but figured I'd help them out and give it a shot. One thing that I had no idea it would do is make me watch football on Sunday in a whole new way. Watching for game that I would normally have no interest in at all. Kind of fun. Of course I'm 0-2 so far, so my opinion my very well change before the end of this.
Don't for get that Tybee Pirate Fest is coming up 10/8/10 - 10/10/10. Some of the highlight are the parade on Saturday afternoon, and Wormsloew, the Train Wrecks and Eddie Money playing throughout the day. But for me, I'm looking most forward to see Drivin' n' Cryin' rock the place on Friday night! I've been seeing the guys since the mid 80's and know they always put on awesome show.
On a Drivin' n' Cryin' side note...the band had their equipment trailer stolen a couple of weeks ago in Macon. All their equipment is gone. They got the word out and thanks to facebook, that word spred through their fans. A little of the stuff has been recovered from pawn shops in Atlanta and a copy of the ID of the guy who pawned the stuff, but as word spread, the thief or thieves started to lay low. Now there is concern that they may try to move the stuff out of Atlanta and then try to pawn it. So if you own or know someone who owns a pawn shop, used music store, etc, pass the word so more stuff can be recovered. And if you are planning on seeing the show on Tybee, have no worries, they have more equipment and promise a great show! See ya there!

I hate the state of national news media in today's world. The downfall began with the inception of 24 hour a day news coverage and it has digressed from there. Everything is now news. Someone in this world thinks that any certain event is in some way important to the world and it should be news. This fact has been proven today with the wall to wall coverage of Lindsey Lohan going to jail. She's going to jail...who cares! The average person with her same offenses would have been there several years ago! Why does everything have to be news? WHO CARES? And I could care less to these young girls who have the world handed to them and they act like total idiots. I think there are far more pressing matters in the world that could be reported on.
And don't even get me going on politics... |

USA! USA! USA! Landon Donovan becomes the hero once again. USA Soccer advances into the knockout round of the World Cup...only the biggest sporting event in the world. America has still yet to catch on to what the rest of the world knows...soccer is a great sport. We just don't give it a chance here. But it is coming on as more kids learn about it and try playing it. I know that many people have a problem with the timekeeping system in soccer. But for your future knowledge, here's how it works. They play two 45 minute halves. The time is kept on the field by the referee. Time stops for goals, injuries, substitutions, etc. The clock in the stadium and on TV is merely a reference. It runs continually. At the end of each half, the referee informs the sideline how much time will be added to compensate for the injuries and goals. This is called stoppage time. It's not that hard to understand.
Give soccer a chance, and more importantly, USA soccer a chance. Cheer them on in the next game which is Saturday at 2pm our time against Ghana. |

The Savannah area proves to be a grand stage for golf once again! The Verizon Heritage (Now just the Heritage, but we hope not for long) was again a huge sucess...huge crowds, great weather, and a great playoff finish! More playoff golf this weekend at the Liberty Mutuals Legends of Golf, and another fabulous finish. And even though the weather didn't cooperate for the weekend, it was great to see the crowd! widespread panic, allman brothers, mike roberts, patrick fargason
Now to vent about NASCAR! Talladega was an awesome race...record number of leaders, record number of lead changes and the 8th closest fininsh in NASCAR history. But I hated the finish. I despise the green-white-checker rule. There have been many rules in NASCAR that were or are just dumb. Lucky Dog - still around, 2nd round qualifing - gone, top 35 guarenteed starting spot - still around, pushing up race times so they will end at prime time - GONE! I could keep going...but the GWC rule is just stupid to me...do it once if need be, but 3 times is rediculous! Case in point yesterday...at Talladega and Daytona, it will be next to impossible to get a clean 2 lap run going for the win. And yesterday proved that! Alot of great cars taken out. I understand the "BIG ONE" is inevetiable, but it shouldn't happen 3 times for just 2 laps. Jamie McMurray should have won that race. I HATE GREEN WHITE CHECKER. Earnhardt, stewart, Aaron's 499, bubbles.
Just a side note as a Viking fan, thanks Broncos for drafting Tim Tebow so the Vikings wouldn't even be tempted.
And P-hutt, have a nice day! |

So Duke wins their 4th National Championship...what a fabulous game and congrats to the Butler Bulldogs for making it that way and for showing other schools that it can be achieved!
Happy Birthday...err...Anniversary to R.E.M.! 4/5/80 the played their very first show in the old church. And what a huge band they turned out to be. And a major musical influence for me. Went to several R.E.M. shows, including a road trip from Milledgeville to Savannah on 4/26/89 to see them in the civic center with Drivin' n' Cryin'. Fabulous show! Or 11/13/89 in the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, a benfit for the Nature Conservancy, where they play all of their Murmur album in order, took a break and then came back and played all of Green in order plus a select variety of song for an encore. My hat is off to these guys!
Enjoy the great weather and stay safe.
Oh and Pat...have a nice day. |
