With 1 week in the books, I’d like to talk about a few things near & dear to my heart…. The NFL. Here are just a few random thoughts I’d like to pass on.
1) The Patriots will still win the AFC East. They will lose a few games probably, and we will see 20-17 or 16-10 victories as opposed to the 40-3 or 37-13 victories as we saw last year, but none the less, they are going to be OK.
2) And I am sure Randy Moss will step up to the plate and be the leader that he is. Just because they were winning all of last year, and he may not see the ball as much this year, I don’t think he will revert to his old ways…….
Yeah, right!
It is already beginning as he started crying that the clean hit on Tom Brady was a dirty hit. STAND BY FOR MELTDOWN! I hope Belichick has plenty of PAMPERS around in Randy’s size.
3) And to the liberal scum Sports press that was bemoaning the fact that Tom Brady was out for the season… what would you suggest? We cancel the rest of the season? SHAME ON YOU! I have news for you… THERE IS NO ONE BIGGER THAN THE GAME! There were a lot of you that thought Mike Vick was, but here it is a year later and he isn’t missed in the least! Now I shouldn’t even use Tom Brady & Mike Vick in the same breath, but my point is: THERE IS NO ONE BIGGER THAN THE GAME!
4) The Packers will still win the NFC North. They are going to be just fine
5) I was bothered to not hear a SINGLE NFL analyst (pronounced ANAL-CYST if you are talking about Keith Olberman, Chris Collingsworth or most of the ESPN staff) …. NOT ONE… mentioned the Atlanta Falcons as a potentially better team? I watched all 4 of the Falcons pre-season games and though they will not win the Super Bowl, and probably not even the NFC South…. I think there are enough pieces in place that they could easily go 8-8. Much of the human debris on the team like Joe Horn and DeAngelo “head case” Hall are gone, as well as worthless coaches who let the inmates run the asylum. In their place are players that WANT to play and want to win, as well as a coaching staff that seems committed to “righting the ship” and being competitive again.
6) Someone needs to teach DeAngelo Hall how to play football. His dirty hits and attempts to hurt people with late hits and out of bounds tactics are NOT how you play football. He had a history of that in Atlanta, and it looks like he is at it again in Oakland after 1 game. What a worthless individual. Talk about some anger issues he needs to resolve, or something!
7) If last Winter, I had told you that after 1 week, thought that the top 3 QB’s in the AFC would be Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger & Bret Favre, would you have believed me? MAYBE Big Ben, but…. I know the season is young, but it looks to be very exciting if every week is going to be like this! Which leads me to……
8) What happened to some of the AFC elite? The Chargers lose, The Colts lose (and look flat), The Jags Lose… well the Titans won IN SPITE OF Vince Young….which leads me to….
9) How brilliant does Titans Coach Jeff Fisher look right now? If you recall, back in ’06, he wanted to draft Matt Lineart, but was over ruled by Titans ownership to draft Vince Young. Not that Matt Lineart would have taken them to the Promised Land, and not that Matt Lineart is a pro-bowler right now in Arizona….. but I like my chances right now with Matt Lineart at the helm as opposed to Vince Young, the head case! It is your home opener, you win against what could be your biggest rival and your starting QB is getting booed out of the building! Poor Jeff Fisher. I hope Kerry Collins tears it up there in Nashville!
10) The NFC… I am not convinced the Cowboys will be in The Superbowl…. If you put a gun to my head right now, I’d say The NY Giants.
Tampa or hopefully, New Orleans will come out of the South, The Giants in the East, Green Bay in the North and as for the West….. who wants it? Arizona? By default? Maybe Frisco? And I see both Wild Cards falling in the East again this year to The Cowboys and Eagles.
11) ESPN….. I LOVE the opening week Monday Night Football double header! It is a tradition in my household every year. In fact, why not do it EVERY week! You have so many games that get lost in the shuffle every Sunday…. Give us 2 games on Monday nights please….. especially since WWE sux so bad now. Which brings me to…..
12) Who else had the misfortune of watching the 2nd game of the ESPN double on Monday night? The game was OK, and I realize their top announcing team was in Green Bay…. But the Mike Greenburg & Mike Golic combo was HORRID!!!! They didn’t have ANYBODY else that could do that game? No One? At All?
They were beyond terrible! And listening to their liberal ass excuse making every time Jamarcus Russell or DeAngelo Hall did something stupid made me switch the channels a few times. Jamarcus Russell was stinking up the place! Yet at no point did the 2 Mike G’s say anything critical. Why? Did they think they were going to prevent a race war? Ditka finally stepped up and said it like it needed to be said, that Jamarcus his self needs to step up which, of course was greeted by total silence by the 2 liberal turds, Golic & Greenburg. GET RID OF THEM!!!! THEY TRULY SUCK!!!!
13) And the time has come to get rid of 2 preseason games. Let’s play 18 regular season games & 2 preseasons…. And a few teams can have 3 if they want, so they can play the Mexico Bowl or the Japan Bowl or whatever. What? 2 preseason games are not enough? How about we let the teams start the regular season with an expanded roster for the first 2 weeks or so, in an effort to get a better “look see” at some players? I vote ‘YES!”
14) And it is time to add one more WILD CARD to each conference, so that ONLY the #1 seed gets a BYE week at the end of the season.
15) And it is time to do away with SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME in the NFL. What usually happens is whoever wins the coin flip, marches down field and kicks a field goal. Big Whoop! How about changing it to instead of SUDDEN DEATH… first team to score, we do SUDDEN DEATH…..first team to score 6 points? So if someone wins the toss and returns the kickoff for a TD, it is over…. Or throws a TD pass….. but you have to get to 6 points first. I like my idea.
Just a few thoughts I have right now. It is indeed… THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!

It's about damn time!!! Waffle House Museum Opens!
Waffle House Museum Opens
(WSB Radio) -- There's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the NASCAR Museum. Now the Waffle House Museum has opened in metro Atlanta.
A ribbon cutting for the new museum was held at the site of the original Waffle House which opened on East College Avenue in Avondale Estates some 53 years ago.
On hand were the two founders, Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner, both neighbors in Avondale who decided to go into business together.
"He said if I'd show him how to operate the restaurant, he'd build it and that's how it all got started," says Rogers whose son Joe Jr. now oversees operation of 1600 Waffle House restaurants across 25 states.
The original restaurant closed in 1973 and became home to various other restaurants, even a tire store. Waffle House purchased the property again to turn it into a museum that includes original menus, uniforms, and other memorabilia. It also includes a replica of the original counter, stools, and kitchen.
The museum will only be open on special occassions and for corporate events.

Another legend gone
Singer-actor Jerry Reed dies at the age of 71
By JOHN GEROME, Associated Press Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jerry Reed, a singer who appeared in the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies, has died of complications from emphysema at age 71, his longtime booking agent said Tuesday.
Carrie Moore-Reed, who is no relation to the star, said Reed died early Monday morning. Reed was a gifted guitarist who later became a songwriter, singer and actor.
As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, he had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "East Bound and Down," and "The Bird."
In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds, "Gator" "Hot Stuff" and "High-Ballin'."
***There is no telling how many records this guy actually played on. When Chet Atkins was practically running Nashville, he got Jerry to play A LOT of the sessions… he was basically Chet’s “GO TO PICKER”. Waylon talks about it in his autobiography some. Jerry could tell some stories as well!
I had a chance to see him at Lanierland back in Oct. of 2003 & did not go. My Brother did and said he actually didn’t play guitar that much, he had arthritis pretty bad.

The Iron Lady
This is very sad. One of the truly, truly great figures of the 20th century, who probably did more than any woman in History to free so many people from the chains of totalitarianism, and who often times gets forgotten in the shuffle between Reagan & Gorbachev, is in poor health these days. This saddens me greatly to read this.
Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gee, what a shocker! Who is CNSNews.com? You had to dig real deep into the internet to find this, didn’t you? I’m going to go check CNN.com, ABC.com, MSN.com, et al. I’m sure it’s the lead story on every media outlet.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

The new STANDARD for the Weather Channel
On Saturday, they were predicting thunder showers this coming Wed, Thur and Fri.
Now?
No rain on any of those days. This is the NORM for the WC.
So, they can rarely correctly predict the weather even a few days in advance…………………………yet they can tell us what will happen in twenty years if we don’t bend to their fascist, environmentalist wacko policies.
TYPICAL
And the drain continues to swirl

PREPARE TO VOMIT / DO NOT READ THIS!
Unless you want to vomit profusely. Please prepare to take that US Constitution to the paper shredder if Obama gets elected....for he will come down on the side of fecal matter like Connie Berto, the dried up skunk who JUST HAPPENS to be in both of these videos.
Hopefully the gubbment will be there to change her diaper and cut her food for her.
THIS encapsulates ALOT of what is wrong with this country right now
