Paul Harvey passed away today at the age of 90.

Thanks everyone for the support and when my 9 year old went up, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house....including yours truly.

Hi all, you'll just have to excuse me because things have all of a sudden changed for us. I'm not a religious person, but one of our new year's resolutions in 2009 was to spend more time in church.

It's only February and all 3 of my boys are going to be baptised tomorrow and you can only imagine my excitement. I just wanted to share this with the group!!!!!!!

Hi Viper, just don't get too used to these warm temps we're having down here right now. Man it sure does feel good to be able to spend time outdoors in short sleeves and shorts. Just messin' Todd. Here's to you having a safe trip and looking forward to your posts in the near future.

I hope this one hasn't been posted.

You wanna know what I've been listening to, here it is...

Hey girl, don't forget about me. I think I was the first one to welcome you here and CONGRATULATIONS on 100 posts!!!!! Don't be a stranger.

A better game than I could have imagined. When Fitzgerald got that touchdown, I yelled (and woke up the kids who had school today). But I knew that Arizona had left too much time on the clock. But with Blitzburg's defense, I'm actually surprised that Warner nearly passed for 400 yards (I think it was actually 377). Ah well, here's to the Falcons next year.

Alright gang, I'm gonna try to stump ya'll. I'm listeng to Buckner and Garcia right now and can anybody tell me who they were? No fair looking them up on the internet.

Hondo, I don't much care for the Steelers either, but that defense is one to be reckoned with. I have betted (not for money) against the Cardinals ever since they clinched a playoff berth. My Falcons had then against the ropes and let it get away. Arizona has proven me wrong for 3 weeks in a row and I hope they keep winning as I am for the NFC.

Today's the big day....the NFC vs. the AFC. Who do you think is gonna win? I think Pittsburgh will win their 6th Superbowl. What do the rest think?

Well I'll make it a third one that finally got a chance to watch Appaloosa. The movie itself wasn't bad, a bit slow, however. At least there were a few scenes where there was shooting involved and the interaction between Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson was enjoyable. Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10 for what it is worth.

I watched The Harder They Fall earlier today on TCM. This was Bogart's last film and I personally thought it was a good one and one that will really make you mad as well.

Thanks everyone and I'll try to be here more often. Got a lot of things going on right now. Here's to 3000 posts soon.

The War Wagon with John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Howard Keel. A very good western that Duke produced.

Cheers

You watched that one on TCM didn't you? I just watched it myself.

Quote from Jay J. Foraker

Hi, gt - though I am a Big 12 advocate, I feel Texas should be here in the BCS Championship game, not Oklahoma, which I am watching at the end of the first quarter, therefore I'm rooting for Florida.

That's why there should be a playoff system somehow, someway in college football. Last year, I don't think any college team could have topped my Dawgs, but that's how the college games are played.

Dukefan1, that's gonna be a very interesting game this weekend between the Ravens and the Steelers and no offense, but it seems like Pittsburgh has Baltimores number when it comes to playoff games. But I will cheer for the rookie QB as I have done all year ala Atlanta.

Sorry that I have never posted anything about this film, but after the 2nd or 3rd viewing, this one became a film I still enjoy watching. But I have a question after seeing the above photo.....did Duke and Bogart get along? I don't know of a movie they did together and was wondering.

Quote from dukefan1

My Ravens are still alive!

Can anyone please explain to me how Joe Flacco, who lead the Ravens (who were 5 - 11 last year) to an 11-5 regular season record in his rookie year, didn't get any votes for Rookie of the Year? And I mean NONE! Not one vote. And he just became the first rookie to ever win an away playoff game. I understand that Matt Ryan had a great rookie campaign also, but to receive NO votes at all? Mystifying!

GO RAVENS!!!

So much football right now...dukefan, I cannot answer your question, but I did follow both QB's this year and as far as I am concerned Matt and Joe should have gotten equal votes....even though I am kindly partial to Mr. Ryan

Needless to say....both the QB and RB from my dawgs will be going pro next year so where does that leave my college team? On another note...I'm especially proud of by Falcons this year and here's looking forward to an excellent 2010.

Now, on to the next game on my agenda.... the national championship game is tonight and as much as I hate Florida, I just gotta cheer for the SEC so I'll be doing that Gator clap tonight. And for any Oklahoma fans here, I heard a sports reporter out of Dallas earlier (who is for the Sooners) sing an old Grass Roots tune which goes....Sooners over Gators we're gonna getcha....

Gonna get me a Matt Ryan Jersey and GO FALCONS!!!! I really don't think the Cardinals will beat us....but I have been wrong before.

Talked to Ringo again last night. Hopefully he'll be back before Thanksgiving. He's doing very well and says hello to everyone.
