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 th
e 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 c
an 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...

Bernie Mac........R.I.P......1957-2008


Bernard Jeffrey McCullough......

We knew him as Bernie Mac......the angry....but lovable comedian who rose from the poverty of south side Chicago.....to make us feel a little better....to make us laugh a little louder....and to see ourselves....in his comic routines.

Bernie Mac passed away early this morning....He was only 50.....

Our prayers are with his family...



From the Chicago Sun Times:


South Sider, comedian Bernie Mac dies at 50

Chicago's own Bernie Mac -- the actor and comedian who found stardom in movies, television and standup -- died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital early Saturday. He was 50. His publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement that Mac died from complications of pneumonia. His death was first reported by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster.

We will miss you, Bernie....
