bold face prediction

I don't like either team.......will be difficult to see one of them win.....i'll be rooting for my Boxes.....but my prediction is

Patriots        27
Seahags       19


I think Gronkowski is the difference maker and has a day big enough to win MVP.....but they will probably give it to pretty boy Brady.....or the lockerroom attendant.

somber goodbye

I started my Wall Street career on October 9th 1989 for Waterhouse Securities in 77 Water Street 4th floor.......there were 4 Margin Clerks, 2 Acat clerks, one wire operator and 1 Manager....( and a p&s manger in the next section and a new wire operator a few months later) ..its amazing to realize i have stayed in very close contact with 7 of the 10.......Pascale, DeVito, Coniglione, Whalen, Micucci , Coleman and Perniola.

We have attended each others Weddings, kids christenings, milestone birthdays...we have befriended each others spouses...we have had annual BBQ's aka slobfests....attended ball games. Racetracks, breeders cup parties...taken road trips., fla, Vegas,  Atlantic city, Cooperstown.......we've met for drinks, discussed our careers and grown up / matured together.......maybe I havent matured yet, but close.

All of these events...... Every single time I have gotten together with this group , it has been joyous....laughter and celebration....even .in the days after 9/11 there was a tinge of relief that our little core group survived.....

Thats why it was so very hard to get together last weekend and say goodbye to Victor "Beans" Perniola..... The center of it all......the guy who kept us all in touch with him and each other......the guy who kept us all laughing...... The guy you couldn't look at when someone else was venting or ranting because he would crack you up.......

We will continue to get together..... And raise a glass for beansie.....but it will never be the same.

turkey.....continued

Shshhh......don't say this out loud.....but in our good friend and allied nation of Turkey...a NATO member no less....they are refusing to allow distribution of the new edition of Charlie Hebdo if it contains images of Mohammed........ All great houses are destroyed from within.......throw Turkey out of NATO before its too late.

where is America ?

In the height of the Pacific battles of World War II......Admiral Bull Halsey deliberately wandered off course chasing the Phantom Japs carriers......Admiral Nimitz sent s desperate message for Halsey to return and Help at the Battle of Leyte Gulf......the message read "where is, repeat; where is Task Force 34 ?"....... But included in the message was the not so jibberish padding to fool Japs code busters....a simple phrase " the world wonders".......Halsey thought that was from Nimitz and took it to be a harsh and sarcastic personal attack.... Blaming Halsey in part for the casualties at Leyte Gulf......the message operator was simply stealing a line from the Tennyson Poem ( charge of the light brigade)......ah...but I digress.........

Where the F&(k is America on Moslems and Terrorism...... The World Wonders.

wake up America

as if the past 6 years of evidence were not enough to convince the people of this nation that our president is in fact a Moslem, a terrorist sympathizer and a lone wolf hellbent on destroying our allegiances and pumping up our enemies ....comes yesterday.

3 million citizens and world leaders from around the globe came out in Paris to stand up to terrorism and support France......Angela Merkel , Netnyahu...even palastinian imposter mahmoud abbas showed......who wasn't there ? ?  by now you should have geussed...AMERICA.......M.I.A..........not even the Biden Puppet......i guess joe got a reprieve after attending the NYPD funerals for the Hawaiin Golfing obama.

seriously....this is a new low.......and i am getting tired of saying that........this man is disgusting.....where the fuck is he ?   he was all over TV before the Paris attack promising free Community college for everyone....so we know he is not still on vacation......he broke his 16 day silence in Hawaii to tweet KWANZA greetings ( not a joke).........he couldn't even dipatch purple heart Kerry to attend ?

we continue to sail into oblivion,  and that was his plan all along.

harpoon that whale

The good news is that any chance that fat slob Christy had at running for president crashed and burned with his imitation of a giddy 16 year old girl, fawning over jerry Jones and trying to find someone to high five at the cowboy game yesterday.... Maybe he sent a text to his good friend obama, since Hawaii is too far for a hug.......disgrace.....embarrassment..... He's history......

let them eat crow

I was wrrrrr
I was wrrrrrroooo
I was wrong.

I ripped Ohio State all year and I now admit that they were much better than I had ever given them credit for.......Urban Meyer is a great coach, that was never in dispute, but to put up 40 plus points on an SEC champ (Alabama no less) in the Sugar Bowl is amazing....

GO DUCKS is all I have left to say.
