“See dogs like us aren’t such dogs as we think we are.”
--- Marty Pilletti

Outside of raising taxes, money for bankrupt states, national healthcare, abortion, court mandated gay marriage, surrender in killing bad guys, pandering to unions, employing poets at inaugurals, and drinking the kool aid when it comes to global warming…
…I pray everything good thing for our new president.
I’m not saying I like him or expect to have him over for dinner any time soon, but I wish him the best.
Republican or not, he is my president. Conservative or not, he is my president.
I reserve the right to disagree, vehemently on some issues, but I wish and pray only the best for him and his family.
If you call yourself a conservative, or a real American, or a believer in this country, or a passionate lover of the freedom we enjoy then you need to pray for the president.
If it is not your thing to pray, then every good wish.
I do hope we have heard the last of Elizabeth Alexander…her poem was as excruciating as an evening with an insurance salesman.
As the profound orator Forrest Gump once said; “…and that’s all I’ve got to say about that.”
Hey the Lakers beat the Cavs…I didn’t think that was possible.
Yes they can!
How would you rate Donovan McNabb’s performance in the NFC title game Sunday?
Plainly put he was no Kurt Warner. At best you could say he was inconsistent.
Temple City football fans should know about this…when you are in enemy territory you need touchdowns not field goals.
So now the talk of Warner being Hall of Fame worthy is being discussed. I’m good with that, but when will we start talking about Jim Plunkett getting to Canton?
I’m going with the upset; Arizona beats Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.
If I think it is okay to disagree with the president, it is okay to disagree with each other, and it’s more than okay for football players and coaches to disagree with each other.
However, with a trip to a Super Bowl on the line what was Cardinal receiver Anquan Boldin thinking when he was arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley during the game winning drive?
Word was Boldin was upset about not being in the game. So he let his coach know, with the clock ticking down, his team a point down, and hopes belonging to the eyes of thousands watching.
This is called selfish.
…I think it might have cost him some money, because the era of pandering to the ego driven wide receiver is coming to an end.
Speaking of wide receivers, I am concerned that Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward might be winding down. This is a pros pro. If you coach kids in football and want them to play the game right, from receiving to blocking, this is a Hall of Famer all the way.
While Obama might be inheriting a tough economy, the good news is he didn’t inherit the Detroit Lions.
Jim Schwartz, currently seeking a bailout or presidential pardon for the past sin that has landed him in the Motor City, is in current need of the following: a quarterback, running back, invocation, defensive back, offensive tackle, and a benediction.
Hopefully the currently unemployed Jon Gruden will recognize his fanatical ways, mellow out, and return to coaching.
I think he will, and in a short time, after Charlie Weiss is put out to pasture by the Fighting Irish, look for Gruden to be the next head coach at Notre Dame.
Tampa Bay made the right call in giving Gruden the boot, but made a bad call in his replacement.
Just in his mannerisms at the press conference and interviews since, new Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris is too young for this job.
I give him a year, a year and a half.
Then again, what do I know, I voted for the other guy.
