Last night on Monday Night Football...on the last play of the game...a funny thing happened.
The Seattle Sea Hawks beat the Green Bay Packers on a "Hail Mary" pass that looked to most of us like an interception. One ref ruled it that way....while another ref signaled a touchdown.
These refs are replacement refs.......The regular refs are locked out in a contract dispute.
Here's how the headlines across American looked this morning:
Please excuse our inactivity here lately. Been a little busy. But the sporting world will go on. With....or without us.
Here's an attempt to get back on board. A few things from this past week-end:
This was the funniest bit on "SNL"...in a very long time:
Hey....It is what it is...
There is a definite hint of fall in the air. We can feel it. These dog days of summer may finally be a distant memory.
It's Hump Day.....so let's do some "humpin'":
Notre Dame? In the ACC? Well....almost:
Wow! Has it really been eleven years?
Do you remember where you were? What you were doing?
I remember. Went to work that morning with the news that some idiot plane ran into one of the World Trade Center buildings. Then things started to unravel. Another plane hit. Then another at the Pentagon.
The Mall I was in ....closed....shut down. And for the next 24 hours my eyes were glued to the television. It was the first and only time in my life time that all 300 + cable channels and regular channels were carrying the coverage of the event that forever changed our life style and country...the United States of America.
The country was united. There were no Republicans or Democrats. We were all Americans who shared this horrific tragedy.
We remember.....yesterday:
In this small southern college town...We are feeling just a tad bit giddy!
Over a span of three delightful days, Our Braves swept the Mets 3 games to none.....Ga Tech won....Georgia won....And the Falcons won.
Doesn't get much better than this.
Some other things we learned:
Bad hair.....but still a great body...and she can play a little tennis:
Serena Wins U.S. Open Championship
Sometimes ...the less you say...the better. The University of Missouri learned the hard way:
Up by 21 points with the clock winding down, Georgia's
fan contingent, mostly concentrated in one corner of the end zone,
chanted ''Old Man Football! Old Man Football!'' That was in reference to
comments by excitable Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, who
said he turned off the TV last week during Georgia's opening victory
over Buffalo because he was unimpressed with the Bulldogs' no-frills
style of play.
Okay....alright...so it's been a few days. Sorry. But we do have lives. Anyway, it is the first Hump Day of the new month.
Let's get busy:
You think???
Our absolute...best time of the year. Can you say, NFL? Finally....America's favorite sport will captivate us again.
Our prays are with his family....
Michael Clarke Duncan, star of such movies as "The Green Mile" and "The Whole Nine Yards," passed away this morning. He was 54.
