Welcome Back Kotter.......
For those of you born in the 80's..........you probably have never seen this show......unless as a rerun on Nick at Nite........This is where John Travolta got his start as Vinnie Barbarino and Gabe Kaplan was an up and coming comic.
It seemed much longer, but the show only aired ( on the ABC network) from 1975 to 1979. Who could ever forget the mean, old, and crabby principal, Mr. Woodman? Or the adorable Arnold Horshack (and his laugh). What about Mr. Cool himself, Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington.....and .....master practical joker, (also our favorite Puerto-Rican Jew) Juan Luis Pedro Philippo DeHuevos Epstein. For obvious reasons........he was just known as, Epstein.
Wait a second!!!!! Did I say, "Welcome back Kotter?"...........My bad. So sorry.
What I meant to say was, "Welcome back Carter"..............
As in Quincy Carter.......The former quarterback of the University of Georgia / Dallas Cowboys / New York Jets /Montreal Alouettes (CFL) /Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings (AF2)...who snorted and smoked his way out of professional football. The gifted athlete who could not say .....no .....to blow.
Well, Mr. Carter is getting yet another chance. The Arena Football Leagues' Kansas City Brigade signed Carter to a contract Tuesday to again play the quarterback position.
Drug arrests............failed drug tests.......frequenting re-habs .........have haunted Quincy his entire life. At age 30........this maybe his final chance to make something of his life.
Even spending four years in college on a scholarship ( of course) , Mr. Carter never quite found the time to earn a degree......so the only marketable skill he owns.......is throwing an oblong pig-skin covered ball........around a football field.
What a waste.
Welcome back..........D J
This is in contrast to the above story.........Atlanta Falcon backup QB , D. J. Shockley was cleared by Doctors today to take part in all football-related activities and even ran some sets with the first team offense at today's offseason workouts.
Last year , Shockley tore ligaments in his knee in a preseason game at Buffalo, and missed the entire season.
Listed as the number 3 QB, Shockley will try to make the team. We wish him well.
Five things........I think ....I think..........
1. It is officially summer in this southern college town........just about time to crank up the old AC.

2. Last night's game between the Lakers and the Spurs was the best so far of this year's playoffs.
3. I think, Danica Patrick..............is a whinny little ........B'............
4. The 0-4 WNBA Atlanta Dream............is turning into a nightmare.
5. I think my body has finally adjusted to this daylight savings time.......it took a couple of months......but ........I think I'm there now.
Happy Hump Day..........
