Let Me Be The First: "Winter Blast, 2007"

As we speak, Fox 4 News is sending Lari Barager to interview a sand truck driver.

Football Finale

The Florida Gators are rolling over #1 Ohio State at halftime. I'm just depressed because this is the last college football game until September. And no matter how good this game is, it won't match Texas/USC from last year. And I'm still haven't ruled out last weeks OU/Boise State game as the best game ever. And, finally, I would like to note that I traveled to Florida to watch the Gators play in September of last year. So what happens? They (I think) will win the National Championship. I took a trip to watch Michigan play in 1997 and they ended up as National Champs as well. I think I might be some type of Football Angel.

Show Me What You Got Now, Baby

I always stop down for the Jay-Z Budweiser commercial that begins with Danica Patrick and some NASCAR guy. I think it is Dale Jr. but I'm not sure.

She Had 25 Million Reasons To Work For Him

Terrell Owens has dumped his publicist, Kim Etheredge, who made headlines last year by claiming that T.O. had "25 million reasons why he should be alive" after his suicide and/or overdose and/or accident.

Puuuuuhhhleeeeezzzzzzeeee

CONNELL, ALANA COLETTE

A woman goes to greet new Alabama coach Nick Saben Saban at the airport. She gets drunk and is shown on TV (youtube clip here). She kisses Saben and gets her picture in the paper (top, above). Then she gets arrested later that day for DWI and ends up with a mugshot. This might be my eighth wife.

Death. Death. Death.

Your President will make a speech to the nation on Wednesday night and everyone expects that he will announce a troop "surge" in Iraq by 20,000 soldiers. God help us.

Cowboys Redux Redux

Fox4News began it's broadcast tonight with this: "Good Evening, I'm Natalie Solis. One big mistake at the worst possible time killed the Cowboys' playoff hopes and maybe the whole season." Huh? "Maybe"? Is there some "do over" I don't know about? She then threw it to Sportscaster Mike Doocey who had a very confused look on his face.

Slap My [Expletive Deleted] Up

Sports broadcaster Jim Lampley has been accused of domestic violence. I was more intrigued by the fact that the accuser is Miss California USA 2003. Lampley is 57. Hey, now.

Sir, I am offended.

Cowboys Redux

One of quotes I've seen a couple of times today about Tony Romo's bungled field goal hold was: "Bless his heart, he's got to be the sickest man in America." Old timers will remember that line was uttered by Dallas play-by-play man Verne Lundquist when Jackie Smith dropped a potential touchdown pass in Super Bowl XIII.

The Da Vinci Code

And I finally saw this on DVD this weekend. Not bad. However, I'm not sure you could follow it easily if you didn't read the book. But I'm stunned this movie didn't receive more criticism from the Christian community. The basic premise is that Jesus wasn't the son of God because he married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child. (I'm not sure why that would disqualify him, but it's one of the many questions I had about the book/movie.)

We Are Marshall

I finally broke down and this flick this weekend. I don't know what I think. It was sappy and unbelievable at parts, but I pretty much got suckered in. But in the end, I'm not real sure the school or those involved did anything paticularly heroic after the tragic plane crash. But there are some pretty good sites about the crash on the 'net.
