Hump Day News & Views
Ah yes! The first Wednesday of a brand new month. A few things have us "humping" today so let's get started....why don't we!

Why We Love....NASCAR
It was.....the big one.
25 cars on the last lap.
What a pile up!
From low attendance to a horrifying finish, drivers didn't shy from sharing disgust after Talladega. Dustin Long says despite what's said or done, drivers will keep crashing at the tri-oval.
Things From the Week-end...That Was
An interesting couple of days in this small, southern, college town...to say the least.
We saw the Atlanta Braves make another quick exit from yet another disappointing post season.
The University of Georgia was embarrassed on national television.......(Fire the whole coaching staff on this one.
And then ....when it looked so hopeless for this section of the deep south.....low and behold...The Atlanta Falcons went into Washington D. C.......and won! The only unbeaten team in the NFC!
Other notables:
Note to UGA.....Grow up...this is "grown man football":
Get down, young man!

Perfect.....Through Five
My my...Thank God for the Falcons. The Braves got eliminated from their short play-off run. Ga Tech went down at Clemson....and the Ga Bulldogs got embarrassed at South Carolina.
Thank you Atlanta Falcons. This week-end will not be a totally lost. For the very first time in the history of their existence, these birds are 5-0!
From the AJC:
Susan Walsh
Falcons 5-0 for first time
Gonzalez has 13 catches as Atlanta takes advantage of Washington's backup QB, rallies for a road win.
Redskins QB Griffin III leaves game in 3rd quarterDiscuss game with Jeff Schultz
Falcons vs. Redskins
Not.......As Advertised
Number 5 in the nation? Averaging 40 points a game? Over 500 yards of offense a game?
Georgia? Really?
South Carolina 35, Georgia 7....and it wasn't even that close.
Carolina totally dominated this game and proved they are for real while these bulldogs aren't quite what was advertised.
South Carolina dominates Georgia in 35-7 victory
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Presented a big stage to validate itself as one of the nation’s elite teams, fifth-ranked Georgia looked entirely out of its element on Saturday night.Saturday, October 6, 2012
One....and Done!
It just doesn't seem fair. Our beloved Atlanta Braves won 95 games in the regular season this year. They made fewer errors than any team in baseball. They sent a pitcher to the mound where the Braves had won their last 25 games he started.
Then....it was done. 6-3 Saint Louis. In a one game play-off... there is no time...not to pitch, hit and field.
So the Braves make the play-offs...and are eliminated 4 hours later.
Oh well.....Man that hurts!

"Clueless" in Seattle
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:

Chad Johnson....is Still a Worthless...Punk
Hey....It is what it is...
I'm Taking Anger Management Classes
Chad Johnson says he's enrolled in anger management classes ... to learn how to suppress his rage so he doesn't have another violent altercation like the one with his ex-wife.
Johnson made the announcement during an interview with James Brown on "Inside the NFL" ... saying, " I'm trying to find out how can I channel my anger when I'm in situations to where I would pop off."
During the interview, which airs tonight on Showtime, Johnson says he takes full responsibility for the headbutting incident with Evelyn Lozada ... and says, "I think what I need to do is work on Chad."
Johnson has been through anger counseling before -- as we previously reported, Chad was ordered to complete a domestic violence program after battering a former GF back in 2000.
Chad also says he believes the Miami Dolphins cut him from the team solely based on the domestic incident and NOT because of his performance on the field.
"That was the reason ... there's no need to blow smoke up my ass."
We broke the story ... Johnson officially became a single man earlier today after a judge signed off on his divorce from Lozada ... a divorce he was trying like hell to prevent from happening.
Johnson says he's no longer on speaking terms with Evelyn ... explaining, "There's nothing I can say to her because she's already heard it all ... what can I say ... actions speak louder than words and this is the time for me to show action."

Remembering 9/11
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:

"Old Man Football" ... ain't Bad
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.
