a note of strange happenings...

on this last day of November this year,i woke up with a headache,from sinus pain... it has been a very strange night,and very strange year,because i am listening to jazz music,and some blues music,which even though i have a very good music collection,i do not listen to it very often... listening to jazz music,and blues music does not make it strange,but i have thought about people who i adored growing up,and people who i so deeply miss from my heart... odd thing is when i started this,i was listening to a song by John Coltrane,one of my all-time favorite artists,and i recognized it right off... it was not one of his well known ballads,but people,what a horn he played(tenor saxophone)!!!!!!! for some reason,for most of the last eighteen hours,i have had the television off,and i have just done small things,thought about people who i deeply love,and loved(just being quiet,as i put it),and to tell you the honest truth,i have really enjoyed the quiet time... this night reminded,and still reminds me of who i really am(oh my,someone at Sirius XM must love John Coltrane,because there is the second ballad,of his,in last three on Real Jazz,now three of four)... waking up like i have,minus the headache,reminds of the time with my mother in Cayucos,because i used to put on some Coltrane,just sit down,be quiet,like i am now,and just remember what and who i loved... right now,they should just rename Real Jazz Real Coltrane,because they are playing a ton of Coltrane this hour,which i deeply love... i started to write this,talking about people who i deeply miss,and love,and yet,this is the greatest way to wake up,and i only wish that i woke up every day like this,because this is a day that i will always remember... i have the biggest smile,and memories are flowing(and tears)... folks,i do not care a whit... maybe,just maybe,i needed this from my heart,so i am enjoying this no end,and with that little nugget of truth,i simply end this... this is strange,folks,but i love it...

note...

in the regular season,the Patriots hold a 5-4 advantage,in games played,but do not forget that the Packers beat the Patriots,35-21,in Super Bowl XXXI,so both teams have won five games apiece,but the Packers won the Lombardi Trophy,playing the Patriots... that may not have anything to do with Sunday's game,but it still makes me smile...

blog statement...

i will take the rest of the day off... more previewing of Sunday's afternoon's Patriots/Packers game,tomorrow... "Idaho Spud" time...

comment about DA BEARS(they really do)...

i am not the only one who thinks that "DA BEARS SUCK",even a columnist for the Detroit Free Press says,in his column that "the Chicago Bears stink"... one,two,three(people repeat):DA BEARS SUCK,DA BEARS SUCK,and finally one more time,DA BEARS SUCK...

NFL news...

Ray Rice wins his appeal of his indefinite suspension from the NFL,basically claiming double jeopardy in saying that the NFL suspended him twice in handing a two game suspension,then lengthening his suspension to an indefinite one... problem is that,right now,he is not on a NFL team's roster(Baltimore Ravens released him after his indefinite suspension)... my opinion:that may change but both he,and his wife Janay,are total divas,and does any NFL team want to deal with that circus??? i do not think so,but who honestly cares???

WORST GAME PLAYED BY A NFL TEAM THIS SEASON...

Seattle Seahawks 19,San Francisco 49ers 3... the 49ers looked like they just did not care... they came out flatter than a crepe,and played so bad that they honestly looked like they were disinterested in playing the game,and the fans did boo lustily,and often,as the 49ers did absolutely nothing,but trying to talk smack,pick fights all night long,and play like a pee wee football team... it is simply the absolute worst game played by a NFL team this season,PERIOD!!!!!!!

NFC North division game(Thanksgiving Day)...

Detroit Lions 34,Chicago Bears 17... Bears implode after a 14-3 first quarter lead,go into hibernation for season... Bears need major help,with winning remaining four games,and two or three teams losing at least two games,to make the playoffs... they are 5-7,and looking like dead bear meat... as for the Lions,they looked sharp,and a very good team... it appears like December 28th,at Lambeau Field(week seventeen),when the Lions visit the Packers,will be for the NFC North division crown...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

commentary...

the early game tomorrow(Thanksgiving Day) is the Chicago Bears/Detroit Lions,in Detroit... so,because of Thanksgiving,i will note the NFC North division game score,tomorrow night... i really do not care who wins,but because of the division leaders,being the Packers,the Bears could do the Packers a big favor by beating the Lions... what a dilemma??? i "hate" both teams,so i will watch the game,and holding my nose at the same time...

Patriots/Packers game notes....

early in the season,pundits harped on the fact that both the Patriots,and the Packers were playing terrible,including me... unfortunately for them,both teams have shut the pundits up... funny thing is that both teams are white hot(New England winning seven games in a row,and the Packers winning seven of the last eight games),both teams have scored fifty points in a game(New England and the Packers have scored fifty+ points against the Chicago Bears... poor Bears(laughing)...) both offenses are very good;both quarterbacks(Aaron Rodgers,and Tom Brady)have won Super Bowls(Rodgers:one,and Brady:three);both defensive backfields are very very good;both front sevens are very good,and both rushing and passing attacks are very good... they are mirror images of each other in almost every way... both quarterbacks can light up the scoreboard on any team,and finally both field goal kickers are very good... who would you pick??? the chic pick are the Patriots,by most of the pundits,but the Packers needs the game more than the Patriots,because the Detroit Lions are a game behind the Packers in the NFC North Division... the Patriots are number one in home winning percentage,and the Packers are in the top three,in same category,so the game is at Lambeau Field... the last game between the teams (31-27,Patriots-2010) actually came down to a lineman running a kickoff back about 65 yards,to run out the clock... flip a coin,folks... Sunday afternoon should be a barnburner,or it could be a slugfest??? who really knows???

blog statement...

day off... will start previewing the Packers' game against the New England Patriots,tomorrow...

prayers for Eric...

prayers to Kansas City Chiefs' safety Eric Berry,and his family,as he goes to a lymphoma specialist for an examination of a mass in his chest... his season is over,and this has nothing to do with football... sincerely,get well,Eric....

beatdown of the week...

Buffalo Bills 38,New York Jets 3... yesterday,i was wrong!!!!!!! the Bills crushed the New York Jets,as the Jets played their,possibly,worst game of their season...the Bills sacked Geno Smith,and Michael Vick five times,allowed 165 passing yards by both quarterbacks,had one interception,and scored 31 straight points to end the game,in a 38-3 rout that deserved the beatdown of the week... sorry,Bills' fans that the game had to be in Detroit...

commentary...

even though the game against the Vikings was a hard fought,and tight game(score-wise,24-21),the Packers never trailed in the game... the reason comes down to three factors:Aaron Rodgers did not have a good game,numbers-wise,but he did not turn over the football via interception for the ninth game,of eleven games;Eddie Lacy had 125 rushing yards,on 25 carries,including the decisive game-winning drive,running out the last four minutes of game,when the Vikings had a chance to tie game with a field goal,or win the game with a touchdown;the Packers' team defense came up with key plays(the only turnover:an interception by Micah Hyde),and critical stops,when the score was tight,and they hurried Vikings' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater into errant throws,and erratic play,when it was necessary... it was an ugly game,compared to many Packers' games this season(throwing the football all over the place,and scoring points in bushels),but it was a game that was necessary to show how tough this Packers' team was,because in the playoffs,not every game will be a shootout,some will be slugfests in the proverbial "mud,blood,and beer",of playoff football...

note...

with the Packers' win,over the Vikings,and the Lions' loss to the Patriots,the Packers are in first place in the NFC North division...

NFC North division games...

New England Patriots 34,Detroit Lions 9... no touchdowns for the Lions in last two games... Chicago Bears 21,Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13...

Packers' game score,and comments...

Packers 24,Minnesota Vikings 21... a tough game against the Vikings,as expected... however,the win for the Packers was a total team effort... will comment on game much later...

comments...

so far,it looks like no team is "lined up",for beatdown of the week...

USC Trojans game score...

UCLA Bruins 38,USC Trojans 20... a twenty four point outburst,in the second and third quarter,blew open a tight game for the Bruins... FIGHT ON!!!!!

Hall of Fame numbers for James Lofton...

Packers' Hall of Fame wide receiver James Lofton had 530 catches for 9,656 yards,as a Packers' player,with a 18.22 yards/per catch average,in nine years;his overall career numbers are 764 catches for 14,004 yards,with a 18.3 yards/per catch average,for his NFL career... he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003... note:that is the reason that i ranked him in the Packers' all-time top ten...

Packers' trivia,and commentary...

who was the Packers' quarterback,and final score,on November 29,1981,when the Packers last played the Vikings outside,in Minnesota??? answer:Lynn Dickey,who missed the previous two games with a back injury... he tossed a 47 yard touchdown pass to James Lofton to cap the offensive play for the day,for the Packers... final score:Packers 35,Vikings 23... note:Lofton is an underrated Packers' great,at wide receiver,because of the team's poor play in the decade of the 1980's,but his numbers compare to any Packers' wide receiver,in team history...

USC Trojans' news...

USC Trojans/UCLA Bruins,tonight...

day off... busy day tomorrow,with football,hockey,and WWE(Survivor Series)... "Idaho Spud" time...

Packers/Vikings game comments...

even though the Packers should be favored Sunday,against the Minnesota Vikings,they should not take them lightly,because they would love to spoil the Packers' season... the example comes into focus:last night's game between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs,won by the then 0-10 Raiders,24-20,for the Raiders' first win of the season,and the Raiders' first win in 368 days,after 16 straight losses,over two seasons... the Vikings do have talent to make the game interesting,and that is fact... i respect the Vikings,but i think that the Packers honestly will not take the Vikings lightly,because it is an important division game,because the record in the division is an important tiebreaker,in the playoff seedings,at the end of the season... however,only once in NFL history,in 2010,the Oakland Raiders won all six division games,finished 8-8,and did not make the NFL playoffs,that season... so the Packers should take care of business and beat the Vikings,but again it should be interesting to watch the game...

blog statement...

day off... "Idaho Spud" time...

Packers/Vikings game notes...

first of all,i "hate" every NFC North division opponent... however,to tell you the honest truth,i deeply respect every NFC North division opponent... every division game will be a slugfest,because every team wants to beat each other,badly... the Vikings got beat by the Packers,42-10,in Green Bay,but Minnesota is a very good defensive team,especially against the pass(8th in NFL),but folks can the Vikings stop Aaron Rodgers and company enough times,to give the Vikings a real chance??? since the blowout,in Green Bay,they are 2-3,including a 21-13 loss to the Chicago Bears last week... in the last two weeks,the Packers have scored 108 points,to,now,lead the NFL in most points scored,this season... quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 28 touchdowns,only three interceptions,and if you take away the fact that the New Orleans Saints' defense picked him off twice(on deflections/tips),in a 44-23 rout of the Packers three weeks ago,the only interception he has thrown was opening week,against the Seattle Seahawks... it will be quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's seventh NFL start(of eight games)... he has thrown four touchdowns,and has only six interceptions... the rushing attacks for both teams are very good... but can,i say again,the Vikings stop the Green Bay offense enough times to give themselves a real chance,to win the game,on Sunday???

bad news just found out...

just found that a dear friend passed away on Sunday... am going to take a few days off... will preview the Packers/Vikings game on Friday,and will catch up on news,then... i will be just fine,but i am very sad today...

NFL news...

it appears that Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson will not play this Sunday,against the Packers... he was suspended without pay for the rest of the 2014-2015 NFL season,but will appeal,and yet,he will remain on the commissioner's exempt list during the appeal,so he does have a long shot chance to play during this season...

commentary...

the last two weeks have been very exciting,considering that the Packers are tied with the Detroit Lions,record-wise,and have scored 72 points in the first halves in the last two games,and 108 points,overall... now for the enigma of the Minnesota Vikings,next weekend... why an enigma??? the NFL hearing on reinstatement of Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson(an arbitration hearing is scheduled for today)... there are only six games left in this season,and with a reported $15 million cap hit next season for the Vikings,is Peterson worth $15 million next year??? flip a coin on that... funny thing is that he is on the commissioner's exempt list,and only he can take him off it... Peterson wants to play,no doubt,but him acting like a six year old kid,and missing a scheduled disciplinary hearing,on Friday,complaining that the hearing does not comply with the collective bargaining agreement(CBA)does not help,but the NFL has a new set of rules concerning domestic violence,including a six game ban for first offenders,but honestly missing nine games being on the exempt list constitute that the six game ban does not apply to Peterson... if it does,he could be on the field Sunday,at home,against the Packers,and if not,he will miss the season... he could be reinstated,then suspended later on in the season,because of the arbitration hearing today... so flip a coin,folks,on that... without Peterson,the Vikings have a big problem to solve in Aaron Rodgers and company... with Peterson,the Vikings still have the same problem,and losing to the Chicago Bears,21-13,yesterday,after the Bears took a 50 burger (55-14)on the chin from the Packers the week before,means that the Vikings are in trouble,and the game is still six days away... what a dilemma for the Vikings...

correction...

it was Packers 53,Eagles 20... i corrected the previous post...

Packers' game score,and commentary...

Packers 53,Eagles 20... this is only the sixth time that a NFL team has scored 50+ points,in consecutive games,since WWII,but it is the third time in last three years... the only thing that stunk for the Packers was the special teams,and the kicking game with a punt block,missed extra point(twice-fumbled snap,and blocked extra point),and missed field goal... Packers had two defensive touchdowns (Julius Peppers had a pick six,and Casey Hayward had a fumble return touchdown)... Packers are tied record-wise with the Lions,for the NFC North division lead,but the Lions own tiebreaker,for now...

NFC North division scores...

Arizona Cardinals 14,Detroit Lions 6... Chicago Bears 21,Minnesota Vikings 13...

prayers for Bart,and Gordie...

prayers for Bart Starr,and "Mr. Hockey" Gordie Howe,as they recover from health issues... both are Hall of Fame members in their respective sports,and people of that caliber,period...

Packers' game update...

Davante Adams scored the first touchdown for the Packers,on a six yard touchdown pass,from Aaron Rodgers,and Micah Hyde ran it 75 yards for a punt return touchdown... score:17-0 Packers...

NFL historic note...

Houston Texans' defensive lineman J.J. Watt scored his fourth touchdown of the year,most by a defensive player,since 1948,as the Texans beat the Cleveland Browns,23-7......

beatdown of the week...

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27,Washington Redskins 7... the Redskins did absolutely nothing on offense,so the Buccaneers rolled over them...

just a reminder...

the Packers play the Philadelphia Eagles in one of the last games to kick off in the afternoon...

USC Trojans game score...

USC 38,California 30... sorry for the late post... game was a good one,on Thursday night...

weather forecast for Sunday,for Green Bay...

commentary...

preparing for a very busy day tomorrow... both of the teams that i root for are playing tomorrow(Detroit Red Wings/Montreal Canadiens,and the Packers/Eagles)... the Red Wings' game starts,when the Packers/Eagles game is basically in fourth quarter,so i will see most of the Red Wings' game,live,and if there is a replay,i will see the whole game,after the Packers/Eagles game...

blog statement...

sorry,have been unplugged most of the day... "Idaho Spud" time

blog statement...

taking one more day off,because of having some housework to do...

Eagles/Packers game notes...

facts on the Philadelphia Eagles:former New York Jets' quarterback Mark Sanchez is the starter under center... they have a great running attack,in Darren Sproles,and LeSean McCoy,who led the NFL in rushing,and a very good offense that scored 31 of the team's 45 points(special teams,and defense each scored a touchdown on a punt return by Sproles,and a pick six by the defense),in a 45-21 rout of the Carolina Panthers... the Eagles are 7-2,a very good team,but they have one glaring flaw:their starting quarterback,Nick Foles is out with the same injury that sidelined Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers last season-a broken clavicle,and they are fighting the Dallas Cowboys (a half game up) for first place,in the NFC East division,just as the Packers are in second place,behind the Detroit Lions(a game behind)... both teams need the victory,but honestly,the Packers need it more,because the Packers' schedule may be softer,but with the Minnesota Vikings(at Minnesota),and New England Patriots(at Lambeau Field),in the next two weeks,the Packers need all the wins that they can get... not knowing what the NFL will do about running back Adrian Peterson is an enigma,but he could play against the Packers,so do not take Minnesota very lightly... basically put the hammer down on all your opponents,and watch out for Tom Brady(as always),and the NFC North division will be decided,in week seventeen,at Lambeau Field,against the Detroit Lions... quarterback Aaron Rodgers just threw six touchdown passes,last week,and the Packers scored 48 points,on offense,in a 55-14 rout of the Chicago Bears,so it should be an interesting game,Sunday,shouldn't it...

Packers' news...

the Packers will be wearing their throwback jerseys(blue and yellow,and yellow helmets that was mandated by the NFL,in off-season)... i bought that jersey a couple years ago,so i will be decked out in blue and yellow,on Sunday...

Packers' game next weekend...

Philadelphia Eagles play the Packers,this weekend,at Lambeau Field... will preview game starting tomorrow...

plans for me...

the pictures on my bedroom wall of me running my first marathon are thirty five years old,tomorrow(November 12,1979),and i was eight minutes late for the start of the race... i ran the first ten miles that day,in 1:04(not including the eight minutes late),trying to catch up to the field... my dear departed mother took the pictures,and i finished in 5:30,lost six pounds that day,and,like every marathon runner,swore that i would NEVER do it again,but that was not true... i ran with the Olympic Torch,in 1984,outside Reno,and then vomited on the bus... funny thing is that i also lit my hair on fire,with the Torch... tomorrow is a special day in my memory,so tomorrow,i will start running(very slow,and not far,at first),because it is time that i start getting in shape(of course,slow and easy)... i am not twenty years old any longer,but i am very tired of being out of condition... besides running(more like jogging,at first),i will do some exercises that help tone my body up and keep me active... i plan on losing some weight,and that is a very good thing,period... my next marathon will be run when i am in condition to do that,not UNTIL THEN,and will be dedicated to those people whom i love,and those who have passed away...

Packers' trivia...

for your information,Packers have won 23 straight games,against the Detroit Lions,including a playoff game,in Wisconsin*... *Packers also played in Milwaukee,at County Stadium,during the streak...

put another candle on the cake...

Packers' head coach Mike McCarthy turned fifty one,today... Happy Birthday,Mike...

commentary...

i could rip the Bears for the game that they played last night... however,55-14 was a laugher,and that included a 102 yard kickoff return by the Bears,and even though i wanted a "burial" of the Bears' season,i could have only dreamed that the Packers would score 42 points by halftime,and Aaron Rodgers would match the team record of six touchdown passes,set by Matt Flynn,his backup,against the Detroit Lions,in week seventeen,in the magical regular season of 2011(15-1),and do it in a half,not a whole game.. i noticed that when the Packers kicked their first field goal that Rodgers was miffed slightly that he misfired on third down,because i believe that he wanted to throw seven touchdown passes,before he left the game... the Packers finally showed that when they play on all cylinders that they are not going to be beat... a NFL Network pundit said that he still favored the Detroit Lions in the NFC North,because they are a more complete team... i almost choked on that comment,and gave the television an one finger salute... after last night,the Lions would be in major trouble,if they come to Lambeau Field,and face THIS Packers' team,right now... even though the Lions beat the Packers,19-7,in week three,in Detroit,the Lions are built to be a "dome" team,and a very good one,by the way,the Packers are averaging 41.5 points/per game,through their four home games,so far... when the Packers are scoring like they have done,at Lambeau Field,this season,very very few teams can out-score them... the Detroit Lions better hope the Packers are off,in their game plan,in week seventeen,because they will be in trouble,if the Packers are playing anywhere near what happened last night... let me remind the Packers of the score(19-7) that the Lions beat them by,in week three... i know that it will be tattooed on their minds,in week seventeen,when the Lions visit the "Frozen Tundra",in week seventeen... that game will be for the NFC North division,in front of 80,750 cold unfriendly(for the Lions)fans,and what happens,happens,but i have a question for the Lions:can you beat the Packers,at Lambeau Field,when,right now,Aaron Rodgers is 33-3,against the NFC North division??? i do not think so!!!!!!

day off... need "Idaho Spud" time...

Packers' game score...

Packers 55,Bears 14... DA BEARS DID SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! enough said!!!!!!!!

dubious NFL history...

Bears became second team in NFL history to allow 50+points in consecutive games,matching the Rochester Jeffersons,in 1923....

Packers',and NFL history...

Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers became the second quarterback in NFL history to throw six touchdown passes in a half,since Daryle Lamonica did it on October 19,1969,for the Oakland Raiders,against the Buffalo Bills(50-21 win,that day)...

comeback of the week...

New York Jets 20,Pittsburgh Steelers 13... this is odd,but i give a then 1-8 team the comeback of the week,as the New York Jets stun the Pittsburgh Steelers... for a team that had lost eight straight games,they dominated the Steelers,in this game,and because of that,i give the comeback of the week...

beatdown of the week...

Denver Broncos 41,Oakland Raiders 17... Broncos score five touchdowns to break open a tight game,before a garbage touchdown,by the Raiders,in last minute... Peyton Manning had five touchdown passes,in a rout...

starting a chant...

now,everyone repeat after me,on the count of three:one,two,three:DA BEARS SUCK,DA BEARS SUCK,and,finally,DA BEARS SUCK!!!!!!!

Packers/Bears' game notes,and commentary...

now,Packers play the Bears,Sunday night,at Lambeau Field... pundits are picking the Packers all over the place... Kiss of Death??? both offenses were not stopped in week four,and both defenses looked like swiss cheese,in the first half... play of the game:Bears stopped at the half foot line,as time ran out in first half,as Ha Ha Clinton-Dix made perhaps the play of the entire year,for the Packers' defense,and,maybe,the entire team... Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler self-imploded in the second half,as the Packers' defense did not allow a single point,in the last two quarters,as two Packers' interceptions,and a very potent Packers' offense led to twenty four straight points,in a 38-17 Packers' rout,in Chicago... Jordy Nelson,and Randall Cobb had 100 receiving yards,and caught two touchdown passes apiece,from quarterback Aaron Rodgers... now for some Packers' statistics:Packers have won ten of the last twelve games(including playoffs)against the Bears... under head coach Mike McCarthy,the Packers are 37-13-1,(.735),overall in division games,and at Lambeau Field,are 20-4-1,in division games... both records are in top three in the NFL:the overall record being number two,and the home record being number three,in the NFL... in that case,DA BEARS DO REALLY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! i deeply respect the Bears,and always will,but as a shareholder/owner of the Packers,i want to see a "burial",of the Bears' season,in a big rout... expect a real dogfight,and a close game... that will be almost guaranteed,folks,because both teams do not like each other,and after ninety three years of this historic rivalry,folks,buckle up for a nasty,and heated game... last year,Bears' defensive end Shea McClellin put a hurting on quarterback Aaron Rodgers,breaking his clavicle,with a "gator roll" of a tackle,and then tried the same thing,again,in week seventeen,but that time,was called for unsportsmanlike conduct(a fifteen yard penalty)... what a punk!!!!!!!!

Packers' trivia...

what radio station in a NFL city has broadcast every game,of the team that they cover,since 1929??? answer:WTMJ 620AM/94.5FM,in Milwaukee Wisconsin,and the team is the Green Bay Packers... side note:in the movie,"Major League",the producers used County Stadium,in Milwaukee,as the "home" of the Cleveland Indians,and in a scene in the movie,the scoreboard has the radio station initials of WTMJ,on it...

commentary...

folks,i am very sorry,because i am not been myself lately... i am watching the Red Wings/New York Rangers NHL game,and i noticed that i simply have no emotion,which is very odd,because i am usually fired up,and i am just blah,period... it is BEARS WEEK,and maybe i am being too funny about things(if you know what i mean)...when the Red Wings are on,i usually am a little caustic with my language,in a humorous way,and lately,i have been very very somber,and mellow,which is not me... even this is odd,i am mentally tired,and simply need a break,but even though that is true,it has been just over a year since i have had any great deal of time away from here... ever have a day that you want to scream,curse,stomp your foot,and just want to kick someone's rear end??? maybe i need to do that(laughing)... folks,i will be fine,but i need to say this,right now:i will get even with whoever turned my personality down a notch,because i am going to kick that person's rear end... by the way,the person who needs a rear end kicked is,of course,me,folks(laughing)... so let me kick away...

have to be somewhat funny about my "hate" for the Bears... honestly,i would be a real fool to really hate the Chicago Bears... i know that it is only a game,but being a shareholder/owner,i have to stick up for the team that i own stock in,period... to tell you the truth,i deeply respect the Bears,and expect a real dogfight,Sunday night(again)... however,again i say(to everybody,repeat),one,two,three:DA BEARS DO REALLY SUCK!!!!!!!!

comments...

DA BEARS SUCK!!!!!!!!!! even though that the Bears have a chance to win Sunday,i honestly believe if the Packers play their best,they will "bury" the Bears in the "Frozen Tundra",Sunday... they need the win much more than the Bears,and they have four of the next five games,at Lambeau Field,and five of the last eight games at home... DA BEARS DO SUCK!!!!!!!!! they also may have a huge chip in their shoulders,because of the stinker in New Orleans... DA BEARS DO REALLY SUCK!!!!!!!!

commentary...

i respect the Chicago Bears... i really do,honestly... however,as a Packers' shareholder/owner,no matter what the team records are,at the time of the games,between the teams,i simply want to beat the Bears every time... it is not possible,but beating the Bears are the two games that i simply want to win the most,every season... simply,DA BEARS REALLY SUCK,PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! i honestly believe that...

Rams 13,49ers 10... eight sacks by the Rams of 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick stalled the 49ers' offense all day,and the last second fumbled quarterback sneak,by Kaepernick,cost the 49ers the win,period...

a touching moment...

Lauren Hill,a freshman at Division III Mount St. Joseph's signed up earlier this off-season,to play women's college basketball,but was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma(DIPG)(a tumor on at base of brain stem),which is terminal... Mount St.Joseph's petitioned the NCAA to have game against Hiram College moved up two weeks,to allow Lauren to play... they accepted,and the first basket of game was scored by Lauren,on a layup,and the standing room only crowd,and both teams gave Lauren a standing ovation... WAY TO GO,LAUREN!!!!!! prayers go out to you,and your family... you are an inspiration to a lot of people...

jazz 101...

i just got tired of watching television,and i realized that i really have not listened to any jazz music from John Coltrane,in a very long time,so i am listening to his CDs,named,"Ballads",and "Blue Train"... simply great music... i forgot how great this jazz is... later on,i will listen to "Love Supreme",and a live album,"Live at the Village Vanguard"... his teamwork with Miles Davis,and Thelonious Monk,in their quartets is absolutely legendary... simply great,without a doubt...
