Guess which is which:

"Black"...Panthers?

We are not Carolina Panther fans.   

We ....have the unfortunate attachment to another NFL team.  The Atlanta Falcons.  But when it is our little bro....our fellow NFC South rival...well... We tend to root for that team from Charlotte.

This is a good read about said Panthers:

Thoughts on a Friday

 In this small southern college town...Spring has sprung....and Summer is here.  It is so hot...(insert joke here).

Thank God for air conditioned cars,  houses, and offices.  And to think when we were kids...we played in this heat....from sunrise to sunset.

In today's world...we have Meteorologists warning us to be sure we bring in our pets and plants...out of the heat. 

Really?

But this is a time for us sports fans that is a little depressing.  No more NBA....no more NHL.  College football and the NFL are still 3 months away.  So now all we have is that God awful and agonizing slow sport known as Major League Baseball.  

Again...thank God for cable TV...and the hundreds of channels for entertainment.   

Anyway....here are 5 things...I think ...I think:

1.  I think....what happened the other day in Charleston...was horrible... but ...while tragic....will do a lot in bringing the races together.  No more hate.  No more senseless killings.

2.  I think my new grandson....Kameron...who will be 3 weeks Monday...is even more handsome than I was ...at his age.

3.   I think Tiger Woods has still not recovered from the beating he took from his wife...that Thanksgiving weekend back in 2009.  Officially...it is still called a minor car accident.  But we all know...she went up side his head with a golf club...and he hasn't been the same since.

4.  I thought...LeBron James was the best player on the planet.  He even said so.  With that being said...How do you lose to the Golden State Warriors in the Finals.   If you are the best player in the world.  Just thinking.

5.  Finally...I think I really need a vacation.  Time to stop the world...get off for a week!

Have a great and safe weekend!

Murder 1...NFL Style

Aaron Hernandez....former Florida Gator...former New England Patriot...a gifted tight end who just three years ago signed a 4 year $40 million contract...is ...well...

Let's just say  he won't ever see that $40 mill.  He will never see anywhere...but a cell.

Yesterday, a jury of his peers ...found him guilty of murder.  In the 1st degree.  Life in jail...without parole.

A snow storm!  Our own Governor has placed us under a "State of Emergency".

The first flurries arrived at about 3pm...Since then, we have had ....from a dusting to about an inch of the white stuff. (The devil's...dandruff).

Schools are closing...Businesses sending their peeps home.  For it's ...snowing in the deep South.  Georgia!

But it is still a Hump Day.  So...let us ...."hump"!

Warren Sapp...Is A...Stupid..."Sap"

When you are as big...and black...as Warren Sapp?   Your best bet is to keep a low profile.

Obvious...this loud talking...braggadocios...Negro...is just plain stupid.  At the Super Bowl no less.

It appears our Mr. Sapp had to get his "groove" on (at 7am) we might add.   And...he was hassling the alleged "call girls" over the price!  And...allegedly...got physical.

Too stupid...Warren.   You are not some Joe Smoe.  You're on the flagship NFL Network!  You are at the Super Bowl!

You think TMZ....is not in town?

Never been a Sapp fan.   Too loud...too bullying...But I did think he had better sense!

From The Young, Black &  Fabulous (YBF):


BUSTED: NFL Analyst Warren Sapp ARRESTED For Allegedly Soliciting A Prostitute & Assault Allegations + NFL Network Reportedly FIRES Him!

In foolish activities news….Former NFL star Warren Sapp has been busted for allegedly soliciting a prostitute and is being accused of assault out in Arizona during the Super Bowl festivities. And it looks like THIS TIME it cost him his job as an analyst on the NFL Network. Deets inside....

5 Super Thoughts...on a Super Game

NFL Super Bowl XLIX
Final - Sunday, February 1, 6:30 PM
University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
New England
Patriots
(15-4)
28
Seattle
Seahawks
(14-5)
24
4:39

 Well...well...well.  A super game for a SuperBowl!

Here is 5 of our thoughts:

#1.   Love them or hate them...The Patriots of New England...are the best team these eyes have seen in our life time.

#2.  The singing of the National Anthem and the "fly-by" ....was simply...awesome!

#3.  Let's get the Grambling State Marching Band ...back for the half-time entertainment.  Enough already of these MTV-Techno concerts.  
 
#4.  The only commercial that moved me?   The Brady Bunch...Snickers...with that Mexican Actor.
 
#5.  A game of inches....Tell me...truthfully....When Seattle completed that miraculous pass in the final minute....You and all watching....just knew the Sea Hawks were going to win!   They did not!  Inches short....then...THE...interception!

"A Few Good Men" NFL/SNL ...Style





Okay...Let us put an end to..."Deflate-gate"....in style.  Nobody does it better than our friends at Saturday Night Live.

In case you missed it?

Enjoy this:

"Deflate-Gate"...Please Go Away!

Enough already!

It is an oblong object made of pigskin...no less.  So the New England Patriots use footballs that were under inflated during their dominance of the Indianapolis Colts last week.

Funny thing...When made aware of the deflated balls...the refs made the Patriots play the 2nd half with the "right" balls.   And New England put up even more points than they did in  the first half.

The NFL is reportedly still investigating.  They have interviewed 40 + .

Why?  The QB...Tom Brady...and the coach....have already said they knew nothing.   Did nothing wrong.

Too many hours....to much attention...has been given to....a ball & it's PSI.

Can we get back to talking about...dare I say?

The Super Bowl?

Beyond...Extravagant!

Extravagant ....to the nth degree!

Arthur Blank must have one hell of an ego.  This new Atlanta Falcon stadium will have everything ...and then some.

1.2 Billion dollars?  A retractable roof?  A gigantic side window with the Atlanta skyline in full view?

Simply amazing!

Take a look:

Things We Learned...From the Week-end

In this small southern college town...it is a gray January day.  Kind of dreary looking outside.

But...we are wiser...cuz this is what we  learned over the week-end.


Well...we still don't know what a "catch"...is:

The Hawks are rapidly becoming ..."The Beast of the East:

The Wizards commit 20 turnovers and see their three-game winning streak come to an end in Atlanta.

PACKERS 26, COWBOYS 21

The Seahawks will host the Packers in the conference title game next Sunday.

Overturned catch was robbery in a few ways

The Cowboys didn’t get a chance to get past the over-under number, which was at 52½.

Seattle is the first defending Super Bowl champion to win a playoff game since New England in January 2006.

How 'bout Them ...Cowboys?

How 'bout them Cowboys...How 'bout them ...refs?

Can you say...conspiracy?

I did not see the game live...but....

I hear the refs called a foul.

The refs announced the foul.

The flag was then picked up.

No yards were paced forward.

No explanation from said refs.

Instead of ...a first down...now fourth down.

Hump Day... News&Views

On this the final day of Twenty-fourteen...

It seems only fitting that it is a Hump Day.

The 365th day.  

So Much has happened these past 12 months.

We have gained...we have lost.

Some have come into our lives...some have departed.

We have loved....we have cried.

We have endured the sorrows...and the happy times.

Let's "hump" one last time this year:



He got fired the next day:

"Black Monday" 2014

First of all....

Why do they call it "Black Monday"?

What does black...have to do with coaches getting fired?

It should be "Pink Monday"...being that all those coaches got the "Pink Slip"!

Anyway...so goes the NFL!

Georgia Dome...ShowDown!

Carolina and Atlanta...Next Sunday...playing for the NFC South Division Champion.

Wow!

Neither team will finish with a winning record...but who cares?  This is the NFL.  Just get to the post season...and see what happens.

From the Charlotte Observer:

 

 
The Carolina Panthers will play a winner-take-all game for the NFC South title next week at Atlanta after dispatching the Cleveland Brown 17-13 on a gray Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.

Box score
 

The Saints...go Marching...Out of the Play-offs!

For us?  This was great!   Our beloved Birds...beat the hated Saints....In New Orleans!

As bad as this season has been...this was one of those,  "It don't get no better...than this!"

These Falcons fell behind...7-0...scored the next 20....then  held on to win.  A defense that hasn't stopped an offense all year.....stopped the Saints.

On the road.

In the SuperDome!

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune... We just love to see them lose!

 

Saints eliminated from playoff contention after 30-14 loss to Falcons

Falcons stun Saints, 30-14

Trailing the Falcons by six points late in the fourth quarter with 90 yards to go to keep its season alive, the Saints failed.

Who do you blame for the Saints' home loss?

And who do you blame for this disappointing season? Tell us what you think.
