Hartley Defeats Voodoo with Mojo
Garrett Hartley won the NFC Championship with a 40 yard field goal last night, restoring some degree of confidence in kickers worldwide. In recent weeks, kickers had fallen victim to some kind of voodoo, but that spell is broken. The Saints are going to the SUPER BOWL!
This season has been a strange one for Hartley, with him having to serve a suspension for using a banned susbstance(click). John Carney took his place and the old dude(45) did a great job(click), but the Saints knew Hartley was their future.
They just didn’t know how big he would be in the present…
Hartley only started kicking in week 13 and only attempted 12 field goals this year, making 10. So after only playing in six games, Hartley comes into the NFC and wins the game with his only field goal attempt and in overtime at that. When I saw him being interviewed after the game, it struck me how he looked more X-Games than NFL.
All I know is…Last night, he perfected the 270 leggie footie upkick and…
New Orleans will never be the same.

I had a great time at the Georgia Kicking Camp last week. I saw Dax Langley and Billy Bennett as well as many young kickers I have met over the last few years. I am hopeful I will be able to be involved in the camp more in the future. One of the interesting developments
Former Players Must Remain Mum?

A truly hot topic today is the brewing verbal sparring match between former Chicago Bears greats, Gale Sayers and Mike Ditka and present day stand-out Brian Urlacher. Sayers was speaking to a group in Nebraska earlier this month, and pointed out some question marks for the Bear’s 2010 season. Namely Jay Cutler’s sub-par year and
Doing The Right Thing

The last few days have reminded me of how important doing the right thing really is. I played in yesterday’s Boy’s and Girl’s Club fundraising golf tournament which is obviously fun but a more than worthwhile group to support. I was tempted at one point though, to do the wrong thing.
A group ahead of us,

The next few days in the Dawg Nation will be ones to remember. I can’t remember a stretch over a weekend with such promise. The Rotary Club of Marietta Park to Park Fun Run is the first of what I hope will be many race tee shirts for me. The starting line is at the

This is a totally personal blog post. It’s time for me to make some changes. As of today, I will be implementing what I will call The GOYA Plan. Look for the book and infomercial to come. I am in about the worst shape of my life. You could say I have been doing the

For the sake of doing something different and positive for Georgia Bulldog fans, here is Miss Georgia 2004, Salome Chikviladze. We’ll call her Sally.
The fact that this is the country of Georgia matters not to me. See her profile here and by all means see her swimsuit pic below. I swear I’m not going

I just wanted to wish you all a happy and safe St.Patrick’s Day today. If you celebrate it like only a true Dawg fan can, be careful out there! Especially you Bernie! The thing is the whole country celebrates this day, which just happens to be my birthday as well.
Yep, 51 years old today. Somebody
Are You a Disney Dawg?

I guess this terminology originated on the The DawgVent…www.ugasports.com. You know the type. Zippity Doo Dahz all the way through life, not even considering that there could be something wrong with our beloved Dawgs. You can’t even say a glass half full kind of person. They would insist the glass was too small to begin
Mettenberger Sacked

I hate to see it, but apparently Zach Mettenberger was arrested over the weekend for underage drinking among other things. His bid to become the man come September may have taken a serious hit, and might also give Aaron Murray the opportunity to solidify his place as the team’s starter. Most people thought it would
