Hi there. Not only is it Superbowl weekend but the day after brings the arrival of another birthday. If you want to know my age, it's the same number as the Superbowl and just like the big game I've adopted the roman numeral system to give out my age. Monday I turn XLV. How will I spend it you ask? Calling the Hudson Falls/Glens Falls basketball game at Glens Falls high on WWSC. It could be worse.
Opie's Upset special prediction on the game itself. Pittsburgh 24 Green Bay 20.
With all the icy weather that the Dallas area received during Superbowl week, you think that the NFL is having second thoughts about having 2 of its next 3 big games in Indianapolis and New York? At least the game in Indianapolis will be played indoors.
I have one wish for Sunday's game. That one of the punters hit the "mega tyrannosaurus rex jumbo tron" scoreboard that hangs over the field so we can watch Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones have some sort of medical episode like a seizure or heart attack. Hopefully it will look like a scene from "Sanford and Son," when Fred would grasp his heart and say, "Elizabeth the big ones' coming. I can feel it now!"
Did St. John's really beat Duke by 15 last Sunday? I thought they stopped playing basketball at St. John's when Lou Carnesecca retired and Chris Mullin and Mark Jackson both graduated.
If you're gonna sue the Wilpons, don't you think it should be for a really good reason. Like why did they build such a joke of a ball park like Citi-Field. Not due to the fact they are rich and were friends with that dirt bag Bernie Madoff and may have profited from that Ponzi scheme.
The most exciting basketball player to watch in the city of Los Angeles is not a Laker, but in fact it's Blake Griffin of the Clippers. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I just wrote he plays for the CLIPPERS!
When I saw that picture of Jimmer Fredette holding one of our "Player of the Game" plaques in Sports Illustrated this past week, it made me proud that I get to broadcast those games.
This weeks sign of the apocalypse is a triple header. 1. "Dallas" is coming back to tv and 79 year old Larry Hagmann will be a part of the cast. 2. A script for the "Mighty Ducks 4" is in the works; and here's the clincher : Larry the Cable Guy has got a new tv show on of all places, "The History Channel!" Brutal, absolutely brutal.
If the groundhog had seen his shadow on Wednesday, I was calling Andrew Zimmern and have him do a special "Bizarre Foods" that debunks animal weather myths and have Mr Zimmern eat the creatures that are involved with them. Does groundhog taste like chicken, Andrew?
I'm not crazy about the new Phantoms mascot, "Dax" but if Dave Raymond had a hand in it, I'll give him a chance to win me over in time.
Throwing out some props to Chip Ordway and a story done about him on the local Fox affiliates' news cast. Check it out at their website online.
I was saying to Dan that we haven't had a good goalie fight in a long time. Sorry to say that the Brent Johnson/Rick DiPietro bout did not count as a "good" goalie fight.
One more thing before I wrap up. With all the bad weather we had earlier this week, I originally planned to spend a night in town at a hotel. Well the storm let up enough so I didn't have to, but I didn't want to cook. I got take out from an Italian place. If you want to one reasons we're becoming an obese society, two words: portion control or in this case too much portion. I got a cup of soup, entree, and dessert. My so-called meal for one was enough for 2. I'm getting 4 meals out of it. The dessert I'm saving that for Monday as my XLV birthday treat after the basketball game.
Started ordering the seeds and starter kits for garden 2011. They don't call me the "Garden Boy" and this blog "The Greenhouse Effect' for nothing you know...Leccese out.
