Thanksgiving

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

good for the goose ?

seems not........seems it is well within their 1st ammendment rights to bang on drums, shoot heroin, rape/grope youngens, piss aywhere they want, strip naked, etc etc......DOWNTOWN............BUT don't came anywhere near Mayor Mikes digs on 79th street..........as dead amy would say ....that's a NO - NO- NOOOOOOO

not dead yet

the mighty squids were left for dead after getting crushed by ND in south bend a few weeks.....dropping to 2-6 and seeing their 9th straight bowl appearance in serious jeapordy.....but alas they have won 2 in a row and if the can beat San Jose State on the road today it will bring them back to 5-6 with 1 game to play.......and who should be in a position to prevent that .500 record and a bowl bid?.....ARMY! of course.......could make for some interesting side bars when these foes take to the pitch @ Fedex field.........there is the business of SJ St first.....4:00 start on ESPN3 ...whatever the heck that channel is.

timing

drinke like a vet

today, tomorrow and everuday.......Coast of Cannes, France circa 1988

WTF ?

If Paterno's crime was not going to the Police, well so be it.......But how can the eyewitness MQueary be exonerated for not stopping the assault or also going to the Police.....HOW is he still Coaching ?????

cultural differences

i remember standing outside the Apollo theatre back in 1995 when they arrested Jerry Garcia's Heroin dealer and convicted him of involuntary manslaughter and all us deadheads jumped up and down and cheered because justice had been served........maybe that was just a mescaline delusion.

Joe Frazier- Lite Beer Miller

click on the link.......Rest in Peace Smokin Joe Frazier, the Anti-Ali.....a true Champion, Sportsman, and dam good singer

ho hum

how anti climatic was the end of lSU-Bama?.......a 4 qrt defensive struggle decided by a field goal because they started in field goal position.....boring.......either get ride of OT all-together or go back to sudden death, normal kickoff rules......this made for TV drama sucks.

Breeders Cup Picks

okay.......they are printin cash over at MP......lets go get some......feel free topiggyback off my selections;



Marathon = Afleet Again.....start it off with a longshot

Juve turf = Wrote & Lucky chappy Irish connection

Sprint = Guant Ryan

Dirt mile = Jersey Town

Turf = St Nicholas Abbey O'Brien connection

Juve = Hansen over union Rags

Mile = hurts to go against goldikiva , but i like Tureallure

Classic = Mike Smith and Drosselmeyer, he deserves it....watchout for ex-flame Chantal & Game on Dude.


but I have been very wrong before.

winning is contagious

so the St. Louie Cardinals took their World Series Trophy to the Rams Vs Saints Game and lo and behold the winless Spagnolas notch their first victory over the mighty invaders from N~orlens......

Last Night, Cornball Larusa donned a Blues Sweater and took the trophy to the Checker Dome ( remember that arena) and inspired the blue Notes to rise up and beat the hated and heavily favored Canuckleheads de los vancoooover.

it's in that spirit of contagious victory that i am going to monmouth Park for the breeders and hope that Clancy's good fortune will ruboff on me and I actually hit a few races.......alas, i will be accompanied by the Great Cooler...the Jinx of Higgins.....it will be a battle of wills.....does Clancy force us to raise our game and pick a few winners......OR....more likely......Do we drag Dermott down to the muck and mire and loosing on photo finishes, tossed Jockeys and stewards inquiries....? time will tell

back in a few hours with my picks of the day.

ray of hope

so i flick on the hockey network at 3:30 this morning and they are talking about the legacy of Ron Hextall and i must admit.....i smiled the smile of a happy man for a moment whilst i thought that scumbag was dead.....turns out it was just one of their commercials for "Frozen in Time" about historic hockey moments and players.......oh well....your day is coming hextall.....drive a fuckin porsche already.
