Almost at the finish line.

Well, it is the night before Super Bowl XLIII and as a HUGE football fan I can say that I am Super excited to finally get this damn game over with.  I'm excited that the biggest game of the year is here but I'm tired of all the talk, speculation, predictions, arguements, etc, etc...  I've grown weary of all the coverage of the Super bowl in recent years.  I long for the days when they didn't have two weeks between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl and all the talk was quick and over with.  Well I wish the Arizona Cardinals all the luck in the world to go and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers since it will be their first trip to the big dance and this is old hat to the boys from Steel town.  I hope everyone enjoys the game and gets home safely if they go out to watch it at a bar or a friends house.  See ya on the flip side folks.

Straight from the hip

I know that I'm a bit late on responding to the Inauguration of President Obama but I actually had to DVR the ceremony because of other obligations.  I finally had a chance to sit and watch it in complete silence and I have to say that I am happy with being a part of history.  Casting my vote for Obama back in November, I knew he would win over Sen. McCain but it never really dawned on me the impact his election would cause.  To see the Mall filled with Americans of every race, color and creed coming together to welcome a change in leadership over the free world had me awe struck.  I felt his speech was straight forward and more to the point of what he'd like to begin doing, what he has planned and to the results he's hoping we can accomplish in the foreseeable future.

I'm not a political person by any stretch of the imagination but I am a lover of history especially American history.  I guess I can liken this historic event to the glimmer of hope people felt with other great icon's like Dr. Martin Luther King, JFK, Gandhi, etc.  Not saying that President Obama is anything like those other men it's just the way I can describe the emotion I felt watching the new President being sworn in.  In conclusion I feel that we are in for better times and a "happier" more productive America, better foreign policies and a return to a more promising tomorrow.  God Bless America and all the good that is to come.

Slacking off!

Well, it's been a long time since my last blog entry and to be honest I totally forgot I started this thing but I'm back now.  Wow!!  Has it really been almost a year since my last entry??  What a loser, no wonder I have no readers.  I have decided to change the format for this blog and not only cover sports and sporting events but to cover other topics that pique my interest.  I will keep this one short for now but I'll be back with a true entry.  Thanks for reading or not reading, whatever the case may be.

...and that's the Truth About Sports.
