  1. Sorry for the primitive post. Can't get the laptop to copy and paste today.
  2. Nelson Mandela, a man of resolute character, vast accomplishment and immeasurable influence died Thursday at age 95. He also looked nothing like New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. And yet, NBC station WDIV-TV in Detroit confused one for the other during a newscast segment that was meant to pay tribute to Mandela by putting up a graphic of A-Rod holding a bat. What happened probably was just a glitch. Somebody in a studio pressed a wrong button and a digital file of A-Rod appeared where there should have been Mandela. Live TV, folks! Sorry! Does it seem strange that a TV station (in Detroit, at that) would electronically "file" a photo of A-Rod near one of Mandela? Without knowing how a TV station works beyond "Broadcast News," a little. A-Rod is appealing a 211-game suspension in Major League Baseball, not a 27-year prison sentence in South Africa. He's not really a political prisoner, his calls for justice aside. Getting him mixed up with Derek Jeter, or Don Kelly, OK. Granted, the shot of A-Rod made him look pensive, as though he was "remembering Nelson Mandela" while (presumably) in the on-deck circle. Perhaps he was. We'll never know. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/detroit-tv-newscast-mistakes-rod-nelson-mandela-052023664--mlb.html
  3. Have not heard his name mentioned anywhere. He is a FA, and should be a cheap one year sign. Still young enough and throws lefty.
  4. Terrible job by the officials last night, but Redskins did everything they could to screw themselves. Pierre Garcon looked foolish. RGIII has lost a step. No way Tuck catches him last year.
  5. Well then maybe we should talk AJ Burnett out of retirement
  6. JPP wins the Justin Tuck award for being the invisible man when it came to game time. I don't remember his name being mentioned. Romo showed a lot of poise, and played a great game. Would have been nice to win and make this division race more interesting. Turnovers cost us both games vs Cowboys Best of luck the rest of the way. Season over
  7. I would rate this season fair, but well below last season. Seems like this season was written like they knew it was going to continue for another year or two at least. Last year, most everything was wrapped up at the end. there were no major cliffhangers, so it could have ended for good.
  8. Congrats on your two victories. Do not forget to thank Victor Cruz for handing you that win. Cowboys were a turnover away from losing both games
  9. Going to be in Anaheim the first week of March for ExpoWest at the Anaheim convention center. 1. What is the weather going to be like? Warm enough to swim? 2. Hyatt Regency Anaheim: is it within walking distance of the convention center? Thanks!
  10. Looks like the A-Rod supporters outside the MLB offices are getting desperate too:
  11. If you really want to be rid of Schiano, this cannot be good.
  12. Just when I think football season is over for the Giants, they pull me back in. Keep it going G-men! I would call it a successful season if we can sneak into the playoffs. Not going far, but to come back from 0-6........
  13. Chalky dodges another bullet. I think Agent Knox will flip back to being crooked 24/7 Dr. Narcisse is gonna die at the hand of the dancer/Chalky's GF
  14. I met McAuliffe last summer on the beach in Asbury Park. He was performing a wedding, and kept mentioning his campaign during the ceremony. The couple getting married were volunteers for his bid for governor. He sounded lie a total political tool, and a big phony.
  15. David Wilson out for the year, but Andre Brown returns
  16. Did you think Saul was gay? I did not see that one coming. So is that really his wife, or just a beard?
  17. Mandy is a D-bag. I hope Quinn kills him.
  18. Lowe, MacT, and Mess are all at the Garden tonight to scout Rangers/Pens Yakupov for DelZotto, JT Miller, and.......?
  19. Might be a little extreme, but what if Holtby broke his jaw and missed the rest of the season? Watch for a rule change about goalies crossing the red line
