Thoughts........On a Rainy Night in Georgia
Cold and Drizzling ..........
In this southern college town......With all due respects to Brook Benton...... A dreary day. Gray.....dark.......Something out of a Stephen King novel.
I don't dare turn on the news...........Lay-offs..........store closings.......bankruptcies.....stockmarket plunges.......recession..........terrible car wrecks........man beats dog with sledge hammer......and on and on and on........
What a world.......what a life . Can we get a good comedy show in here? Now?
Happy Trails........Houston Comets....
This is.......or was a WNBA team.....but not just an average team. The Comets won the championship of the league in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. In fact........the won the championship the first four years of the league's existence.......and this is how they are repaid?
Yesterday, the Comets folded..........closed shop. Unable to find sponsers and new ownership. There will be a dispersal draft at a later date of all current non free agent players. We have often ragged on women's basketball........but this is a shame. This would be like the New England Patriots folding in the NFL.
Happy Tr
ails.......Mike Hampton.....The former Atlanta Braves left handed pitcher has signed a deal to pitch for the Houston Astros. Yes, that Hampton..........he of the million dollar heart..........but a fifty-cent body......By the way..........he must still pass a physical.......to make the deal final. And that may be asking just a little too much for the injury proned Mr. Hampton.
Things......I think..........I'm thinking.......
I voted Tuesday in this run-off election in Georgia.......me and about ten other people.
I filled up my car today..........for $19.95.....Couldn't even get $20 in the tank.
Today, DirecTV gave me $10 off a month for a year........and added ShowTime and Starz for free. Who says there is no Santa Claus?
Thanksgiving is still........by far........the best holiday of the year. And I am blessed with the best family ........anywhere......any place.
A special birthday wish for my niece..............Andrea........yes, I remembered.......Happy 29th!

Now.........What'll you do for an Encore?
What an opening ........
We all knew Tennessee's Candace Parker was talented and beautiful.....but........
In her first season in the WNBA, Ms. Parker not only won the "Rookie of the Year" award....she was also named the leagues' "Most Valuable Player ". She's got game. Check this out....from WNBA.com:

Things...We Learned From the Weekend
Th0se Chicago teams...........
Weren't that good after all. In the first round of the MLB play-offs, the Cubs were swept away by the L A Dodgers in 3 straight..........and the White Sox were beaten by the Tampa Bay Rays, 3 games to 1.
This was supposed to be the year. The Cubs boasted the best record in the National League. The Sox forced a 1 game play-off on the final day of the regular season.......won that against Minnesota.....only to get routed by the "worst to first" Rays. The Cubs (Lou Piniella is pictured with this "We 're losing again" look) were even more pathetic......The 3 games against the Dodgers? Not even close! It seemed over night, the Cubs forgot how to hit, throw, and catch a baseball.
That "thud" we heard that even made a reading on the Rickter Scale.......was the millions of fans jumping off that Cub bandwagon.
1908 was the last year the "Cubbies" won a World Series......I'm no math major..........but that's 100 years!............Dare we say? Maybe next year?
A Lambeau Leap....and NFL........stuff........
For the second straight visit to Green Bays' storied Lambeau Field, the Atlanta Falcons beat up on the Packers. Who can forget the last time Atlanta went into the land of "Cheese-heads" during the 2003 wild card play-off game..........Led by Michael Vick, the Falcons trounced Green Bay, 27-7.
This time .......led by their rookie quarterback, Matt Ryan (pictured)..........the "birds" again took care of the ball........the......."Pack".......and the game.......to come away with a 27-24 victory.....It was the first road win of the year. At 3-2..............Atlanta trails Carolina (4-1) for second place in the NFL south division.
Speaking of Carolina, are they that good? Or , are the Kansas City Chiefs....that bad? A week after upsetting the division leading Denver Broncos......the Chiefs go into Charlotte , and get mauled, 34-0. Head coach Herman Edwards will not last the season.
Same goes for Detroit Lion coach, Rod Marinelli. Marinelli is 10-26 and 0-4 this year as head of the woeful Lions. They have been beaten in 4 consecutive weeks by scores of, 34-21, 48-25, 31-13, and 34-7.......Ouch!
Defending Super Bowl champion, N Y Giants are showing no signs of a letdown. The "G-men" destroyed the over-rated Seattle Sea Hawks, 44-6. It's only week 5.....but there are just 2 undefeated teams, the Giants (4-0) and the Tennessee Titans (5-0).
This Detroit team....can take a bow.....
For the 3rd time in 6 years, the WNBA's Detroit Shock has won the championship. The Shock swept the San Antonio Silver Stars 3 games to none in the best of five series. Coached by former "bad boy", Bill Laimbeer (who won 2 NBA titles with the Pistons) the Shock entered the season as one of the best teams in the league............but lost thier top post player, Cheryl Ford to a season ending knee injury in July. They sputtered briefly.......but came together in the play-offs........and the rest is history.
Detroit Shock.....we salute you!
Vanderbilt........5-0?
Yes ..........it's true. In our only loss in the Friday Picks.......Vandy beat Auburn, 14-13 to go 5-0 for the first time .....since........(we really had to research this).......1943. Known as the lone academic school in the SEC, the Commodores have long been a joke on the football field. Well now......the joke's on us. Revenge of the nerds?
