Things We Learned..........From the Weekend

Everybody's coming after Georgia.......

Number one in the pre- season means everybody is taking pot shots at Georgia......Fans, sports-writers, foes.......

But when I heard that even Russia had invaded Georgia late last week.....I must say.....I got a little concerned.

Oh that's a different Georgia?

Never mind.






NBC has these Olympics covered.....24/7.......

The Peacock network that is NBC really has this 29th Olympiad covered. With it's broadcasting family consisting of NBC, MsNBC, CNBC, and the USA network, there is not an hour in the day when the Olympics are not shown.

With the 12 hour time difference.......it works for me. Whether it's Beach Volleyball, boxing, swimming, bike racing, or gymnastics........it's on.....somewhere.

And that's a good thing.



R.I.P...........Isaac Hayes.....

The man who brought us "The Theme from Shaft" music...........wrote the song "Soul Man" made famous by Sam & Dave.......and later starred in Comedy Centrals' "South Park", died yesterday, at the age of 65.

Ironically , Hayes is co-starring with recently deceased Bernie Mac, in a film titled , "Soul Man".....to be released later in the year.

Is that weird.........or what?







Meaningless games of pre-season.....

The NFL got into full pre-season game playing.......and yes it was all .......for the most part.....meaningless. The New England Patriots sat out 26 of their better players.

I don't blame them ..........There is too much invested these days.......and injuries can just ruin a season.





A hint..........of fall in the Air?

Yes........it was faint.....it wasn't much.....

But I could have sworn over this past weekend.....I noticed......Fall is in the air.

Morning temperatures were around 60 degrees.......Cool , for August, in this southern college town.

Relief.....from the dog days of summer........

Won't be long now...
