Weekend Observations

Hi There. Hope you had a good weekend. There's nothing better than welcoming in a new month with 6 inches of snow! Checked out "Semi-Pro" Friday night. If you like Wil Ferrell, you will like this movie. I've got to give the movie's writers credit. They were very accurate in the portrayal and look of the ABA in the 70's and how teams would attract fans. Now for some other observations: Isn't "Black Friday" suppose to be the day after Thanksgiving, and not the beginning of the NFL free agent signing period? The way some teams were spending money, you have to wonder if there really is a hard salary cap. As a Mets fan I'm still picking the Phillies to win the NL East. Johan or no Johan as long as Rick Peterson is the Mets pitching coach, they'll finish second or third. March Madness is coming up in two weeks, and I don't see a clear favorite yet. Finally, last Wednesday one of those legendary local broadcasters who are such a part of the fabric of a city past away. Myron Cope did the radio broadcasts for the Pittsburgh Steelers and was the creator of the "Terrible Towel." If you ever watched NFL Films, and seen Steeler highlights, you've heard Myron Cope's voice on more than one occasion. My brother-in-law is from the Steel City and I asked him Saturday if the they were flying "Terrible Towels" at half mast in his hometown. They were...Leccese out.
