Good Morning!
Thoughts coming out of the Super Bowl? What was I feeling? What was the first thought that went through my head?
Seven months, if I’m lucky, until the next football game.
***
It’s alright we’ve got the NBA-yawning-All Star game…
***
Let the offseason begin wth the Mid Valley Draft on Tuesday!
***
Got a tip, did the follow up, but still haven’t found any truth to the rumor that Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson called Arroyo cornerback Mike Amaya at halftime to see if he was available.
***
The commercials were weak…And on Super Bowl Sunday I don’t really want to be around people who say they are just into it for the commercials…
***
Loved the slomo on Rashard Mendenhall’s eyes as Clay Matthews drove him one way and the ball went the other. I’d like to think the 2008 and 2009 seasons were running through his mind and how much he let my fantasy football team down. Payback baby!
***
Oh, I’ve always been a Green Bay Packer fan!
***
Last Add Weak Commercials: Nothing, not weak commercials, the Black Eyed Peas, or Christina Aguilera’s ghastly national anthem performance can turn me off to football…but horrible flags like the ones thrown against the Packers Nick Collins could drive me away…
Ridiculous.
It reminded me of a prehistoric time when marbles were the rage. I was horrible at marbles, but a dude could enhance his reputation by purchasing a large bag of marbles at Thrifties and then find a chump, or two, to beat.
Mine was a squirt at least two grades behind me…just as I’m taking him to the cleaners the teacher on the yard, a Miss Toby, stops the game and says that everyone playing marbles now has to play for “funsies”…SAY WHAT!
She said “Funsies”…The new policy for the school was marbles could no longer be played “For Keeps”…but for “Funsies”…Kids and some parents were getting upset. Oh and certain teachers didn’t think it was “fair”…Because some were better than others.
Can I tell you what happened to the marble game after that? It was done…
What was Nick Collins flagged for? For hurting the feelings of his opponent? Do we have to stop the game for the sad sacks who live 24/7 on feelings?

Bought a baseball preview on Sunday…Actually I was reading it while stuck in a line at Pavilions and felt too guilty to put it back on the rack next to the Cosmopolitan.
Hey! The Dodgers got Juan Uribe…I hadn’t been that excited reading about a Blue Crew deal since the acquisation of Cesar Cedeno.
***
Matt Koffler and Peterson were yucking it up the other night…Obviously Coach Koffler hasn’t contemplated life without Matt Fregoso…or has he?
***
Granted the gig at Maranatha has become the crown jewel of the this off season, but the place being overlooked is South Pasadena. That’s a program ready to pop.
***
How long until Monrovia is shown the door from the Rio Hondo? What Southeast Division League do they get advanced to? The packed Pacific has expendable cargo…
***
San Gabriel HC Jude Oliva has slots open for four-way spring tosses at SG… April 9, 16, 3, 23, 30, and May 7…Contact Coach O at: 626-485-7009
