“Lost” is the Perfect Description
The first episode of the last season of “Lost” airs tonight and the GNP will not grow at all today. Apparently, I am the only one in America that didn’t get hooked by the series that ranks as one of the most popular in television history. I never got past the third episode because before Lost first aired, I thought it was going to be a cross between Lord of the Flies and Jurassic Park.
I could have gone for that. But it turned out to require too much thinking. I want the shows I watch to elicit emotions, whether good, bad or ugly ones, I can deal with that. Make me laugh, cry or get angry, but don’t make me think too, too much. I might pull something.
For those of you that are giddy with anticipation, I am happy for you. But if I need you to do some work today, don’t screw it up, please.

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
about 4 months ago - 3 comments
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
A Miss Georgia You Never Heard Of

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

I’ve never seen any of it. There’s nothing about it that appeals to me. But then again, I would never miss Family Guy. Now THAT’S what I want out of a TV show…………..

But yeah, I’m one of those losers that’s hooked on LOST. Don’t know why, but I’ve always been a fan of the cliffhangers, the bizarre plots, etc. etc. Then again, it may just be Evangeline Lilly that keeps bringing me back for more…
That’s right, dad, I posted in your blog. Whatchu gon’ do about it?

Have never seen an episode, and don’t have any plans to start. Same goes for “24″. Give me the History Channel and Discovery and I will be fine without Network prime-time television.
