Football Picks Week One -- Harm and judi, 02:31:05 09/09/10 Thu [24]
Sorry I'm late, but I had to talk to Mac and convince her that the football tradition has to go on. She's welcome to join the pool and get her own chance with Harm. I know she gets him every night but you know how competitive she is.

Since I'm too late for the big game tomorrow between the Vikings and the Saints, I'll do the sunday games.

Atlanta Falcons @ Pittsburgh Steelers . Harm says the Steelers without Big Ben is a problem but he likes Dennis Dixon who will start in his place.

Denver Broncos @ Jacksonville Jaguars Harm thinks this could be interesting if Tim Tebow starts for the Broncos. Is he over-hyped?

Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles Harm says the Pack is a really solid team behind Rogers. Brett who?

Baltimore Ravens @ New York Jets Harm says last season the Jets and rookie qb Mark Sanchez surprised everyone in the playoffs. Was that a fluke?.

- Falcons....Broncos....Packers....Jets. To answer the Tebow question, I think the entire situation is over-hyped. Personally, I don't think that he's ready to be a NFL quarterback and the best thing to happen to him is to carry a clipboard for a season or two to watch and learn. No doubting his ability as an athlete, but I just don't think he's ready right now. (NT) -- dg, 02:18:22 09/10/10 Fri
  - I agree, but I still think the Jaguars should have picked him, if only to put fans in seats. Everyone knows he will be carrying a clipboard Sunday, yet you cannot find 2 available seats together in the whole stadium Sunday because Gator fans bought all the tickets a long time ago. David Gerrard is getting older anyway so we will need a new guy eventually. (NT) -- JJ (Ronda), 20:55:09 09/10/10 Fri

Are you ready for some football??? -- judi and Harm, 15:54:57 08/10/10 Tue [19]

Why, why, why??????? -- Martian Barb....die hard fan?, 20:39:41 08/30/10 Mon [3]
Please tell me why I have this desire to punish myself by watching the Pittsburgh Pirates attempt to play baseball? I really love baseball and it sure would be nice to have this team win at least one game before the end of the season. At least we will have the number one draft pick next year! I also wish the team would be sold to owners who really care about having a winning team. It's so tiring having a minor league team anymore. We have some dynamite young players..McCutcheon, Jones, and especially our very own Neal Walker! Maybe the owners will see the light and fire the entire coaching team and get a manager and coaches in there who care and will teach this young team how to play!

Sorry for the rant. It's just so hard to watch them give up a couple of runs in the FIRST inning to the Cubs! Is it hockey season yet?

- They do have some good young players. Just hope they keep them in the off season. Now we just need new owners, managers, and coaches! Oh, neal Walker should be up for Rookie of the Year, but because of their record, he probably won't even be on the list.

Are you ready for some football ! ! ! It's just around the corner.

Here�s to hoping Paul got it wrong.... -- Jam, 05:20:29 07/07/10 Wed [8]
Paul is our oracle octopus. He predicts the winner of whatever match Germany plays. So far in this World Cup, he�s always been correct. Unfortunately (for us Germans, that is), he predicted Spain to win tonight�s semifinal. Urgh. But then again, Paul made his predictions in the European Championship 2008 as well and only missed once - the final between Germany and - Spain. He had predicted Germany to win, but Spain actually did. Maybe he just doesn�t have the right vibe for that pairing.... Anyways, here�s to hoping for the best. And no matter the outcome of the next two matches, whether the last is the final against the Netherlands (now THAT would be a classic) or the match for third place against Uruguay, I�m really proud of our guys, I haven�t had this much fun watching them play in a long time!!!

IWFL Women's Professional Tackle Football and Team USA -- manette, 19:50:04 06/08/10 Tue [10]
My daughter plays for the Dallas Diamonds and they play Chicago Force in the first round of play-offs on June 12th. We were so happy they earned the number one seed so they have home field advantage.

After the games this weekend, the playoffs will be put on hold while a 45 woman roster picked from 51 teams across the nation-- team USA goes to Sweden to represent the US against other competing countries for the World Championship.

My daughter has been selected so I'm bragging about her and the other players from the Diamonds selected.

It will be an exciting month and when they get home-- the playoffs will resume for the teams that won in the first round.

Go Diamonds! Go Team USA!

Kudos to the Rooney Family -- Martian Barb, 22:34:45 04/13/10 Tue [3]
So much news about the STeelers lately. Not good either. I'm so happy that the Rooney family traded Santonio Holmes. He was facing a 4 game suspension for a controlled substance. He is also facing charged in Miami for assault. Glad they traded him for a FIFTH round draft pick. It really sends a message to the rest of the team that they will not stand for any more trouble for the team. Jeff Reed just had his disorderly charged dismissed the other day after completing 40 hours of service time to the Salvation Army. He was arrested last fall for drunk and disorderly and urinating on a car. Can you spell STUPID? Then there is Ben Roethlisberger. He needs to be suspended or traded also. I love Terry Bradshaw's opinion of him. Ben has the world open to him and such an opportunity to be an example to the youth of Pittsburgh, but he is no better than Tiger Woods. How many women have to come forth and accuse him of sexual assault.

I just think Art Rooney, Sr. is rolling over in his grave at the recent actions of his team. Good thing he raised his sons to be decent people and they won't tolerate these actions. So like I said, kudos to the Rooney's for standing up for their morals.

Terry Bradshaw said that Ben doesn't like him and he is learning not to like Ben either! He also said that Ben wants to break all of his (Terry's) records...Terry said go for it, he didn't care. Like you said, very straight forward. (NT) -- Martian Barb, 19:24:01 04/18/10 Sun

N.Iowa plays Mich St, Tenn plays OSU in the Midwest

U Kentucky plays Cornell, Washington plays UWV in the East

Syracuse plays Butler, Xavier plays Kansas St. in the West

Duke plays Purdue, Baylor plays St. Mary's in the South

My view of the Ben Roethlisberger controversy... -- Martian Barb, 17:47:07 03/08/10 Mon [3]
I talked with my cousin about him this morning. Although he is 28, I think he is very immature and should learn that he should not get into these kinds of situations. Did he do it, I don't know. What I do think is that there are people out there who will try to take advantage of young guys with money. Like all celebraties, he should know better. If he is guilty, then he needs to pay for his indescretion and his crime. If he is not guilty, maybe he will learn from this and stay out of the news! He does a lot of good things in our area.

Each summer he runs a football camp for kids at our school district's football field and he donates K-9 dogs to area police departments and police departments in the cities where the Steelers are playing. Don't get me wrong, I am not condoning his actions, but I think we have to hold judgement until all of the details are known. I hope this makes sense and doesn't sound like I am rambling. It's been a long weekend.

- I'm late responding to you MB, as I had to look up Ben Roethlisberger to see who he is and what he has been accused of doing. First off, there are so many athletes in team sports particularly, who get into trouble over sexual activities. I'm wondering if they get out of school too early, and remain infantalized. Perhaps when they are first drafted as young guys, they should get thorough training in behaviour, and have a slew of lawyers talking to them, and warning them of what is out there.

OLYMPIC wrap-up from your Vancouver host and woman on the spot.. -- Cece, 19:21:15 03/02/10 Tue [16]
I know, I'm late. But whew!!! I still feel so emotional. First of all, here is the link for the final medal tally.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! USA!!! for winning the most medals. Your athletes were inspiring and phenomenal, and too numerous to mention.

Is it okay if I say CONGRATULATIONS!!! Canada for winning the most gold ever in a winter Olympics!! Yaaaayyyy....to us!

And Congratulations to every other country, including those who only got one medal, and those who got no medals. Your athletes worked hard, and they gave their all. We loved every one of them and we miss them.

We will never forget Georgia's Nodar Kumaritashvili who died tragically at the age of 21, doing something he loved to do. He will always be remembered here in Vancouver.

And the heart and soul of the Olympics for me, Joannie Rochette. Need I say more? But there were so many stories of courage, and emotion from so many countries. So many memories.

As for me, well I've always loved Canada, but for so many years, I've considered myself a Brit. I love my country, England, and my heritage, Irish. But England changed, for better or worse, and it changed without me. The England I will always love is the the country of my past. But Canada is the country of my present, and nothing clinched that patriotic feeling of intense love more than during these last two weeks. It had nothing to do with medals and everything to do with the Canadians of every nationality, around me. And as I type, the envelope with my application for Canadian citizenship is sitting here waiting to be mailed. And it's about bloody time!

I've added pictures to my web album. They were taken on Sunday, the last day, when Steve and I hopped on a bus, and joined the fun. I am too much of a Nervous Nellie to watch a game like this, so we wandered along the streets, checking out every bar, restaurant, cafe, shop window, EVERYWHERE there was a screen. We could hear the yells, and cheers, and the groan when the score reached 2-1. So we fianlly joined a crowd in an outdoor theatre. With less than a minute to go, we all held our collective breath, and then the IMPOSSIBLE happened. OH NOOOOOOOOO!

I had to get away, so we walked on a nearby seawall, where it was relatively peacefull. The walk was unbearable. We could hear the sounds of fans from all thee high rise buildings, and didn't rest until we heard a giant roar, and all the boats in the marina sounded their horns. (I've included those little videos too.) Then we ran to join the throngs (NOT thongs Carrotts....LOL.)

For those of you who don't want to go through all the pictures again, you can start about 14 rows down, (5 rows up_and there is a picture of me in that ubiquitous salmon coloured jacket (which shall be retired poste haste) in front of the torch. You can go from there and follow Steve and me around the time of the last game. Just check out the sound on the vids, and you'll get an idea of what it was like after the game.

Thanks for joining in everyone. CLICK HERE FOR UPDATED WEB ALBUM OF AROUND VANCOUVER with Cece.

- Congratulations, Canada and all the winners and competitors. Being an Olympian takes discipline, lots of time, and tremendous focus and drive. What a whirlwind and amazing 'tour'. Vancouver looks even more beautiful than I imagined. DH and I had often talked about visiting Vancouver since his parents went about 15 years ago and fell in love with the place.We had friends in Russia (Canadians) who ski Whistler every year. We took them to the Alps and we promised them we'd go with them someday. Sigh -- that was 5 years ago! I love the Dutch 'oranje' contingent. inside -- mj, 08:49:10 03/03/10 Wed

- A little explanation. The red clothes and flags, were mainly for the final hockey game (as Canadians are mad for the sport..) And yes, we were 100% supportive of our athletes, even when they were losing. But contrary to the opinions of a Fort Worth journalist , who compared us to 1936 Nazi Germany, we did cheer for the other countries competitors, and we did welcome our world wide guests. What he said was offensive on so many levels. though he offered a luke warm, and conditional apology.(inside) -- Cece, 15:43:51 03/03/10 Wed

  - After all the years of build up to the Olympics, it's kind of sad to see the streets relatively empty. Sniff. Also, because there was no parking at any of the venues, and many streets blocked off in town, everyone had to take public transit or walk if close enough. That meant there were scads of buses. I don't mind taking transit if I don't have to wait forever in miserable weather. I'm going to miss all the fun, but who knows, maybe everyone will continue having fun now that they are used to it.

Monday, Judi blew into town to catch some Olympic experiences. -- Cece, 13:19:44 02/26/10 Fri [17]
We walked into town across the Lions Gate Bridge (smaller version of the Golden Gate Bridge, but very high and long nevertheless.) Judi felt there should be an Olympic sport for old ladies walking across the bridge. Actually, we walked around for about 9 hours, and here the pics to prove it.

You've already seen the first few pictures on the web album, but we've added quite a few more, this time with judi in them as well. The little videos are silly but they don't last long. I'll let judi tell you herself about her BIG OLYMPIC ADVENTURE. CLICK HERE FOR "JUDI AND CECE AROUND VANCOUVER."

Onto REAL Olympic news. HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE COMPLETE MEDAL STANDING FOR FEB. 25TH. As you can see, the USA is still leading in the medal count. CONGRATULATIONS USA!!!

However, Canada has caught up to the US and Germany with GOLD medals, at least for right now.

But for me, the best Olympic moment came when Canada's Joannie Rochette won the bronze in the women's figure skating. I always feel emotional when I hear this piece from Saint-Sa�ns's "Samson and Delilah." But oh my goodness, when I saw Joannie's skate, and heard the music, both my DH and I got all choked up. And then seeing her father watching her, knowing he'd just lost his wife only days ago...well how could you not feel emotional.

The fact is, Joannie deserved the medal based on her short skate and free skate together. But Rachael Flatt and Mirai Nagasu of the US were so good, particularly Mirai who might have got bronze if she had higher marks in her short skate. And what can I say about S. Korea's Kim Yu-Na? UNFRICKINGBELIEVABLE!!! I've never seen a skate like that, not in women's anyway. WWWOW!! And I can't leave out Mao Asada of Japan. She was fabulous.

Okay, over to you.

    - Gosh, that sounded grouchy. I meant to add a LOL in there! (NT) -- Cece...trying to imagine judi in a tailored suit., 18:54:55 02/27/10 Sat
- I can't believe how fascinated I was watching curling. It didn't hurt that one of he Canadian men was a total hottie! I always thought curling was a joke as far as an Olympic sport, but I've changed my mind. These men and women have to have good eye/hand coordination, as well as physical stamina and skill. I'm a fan. (NT) -- Cece, 22:47:56 02/27/10 Sat
  - You're talking about John Morris, aren't you? LOL. He is a seriously good looking man ;0) (NT) -- Gibson, 11:25:58 02/28/10 Sun
    - The Norwegian Skip sure wasn�t hard on the eyes either. And you couldn�t miss him in those , uhm, ...unique...pants! (NT) -- Jam loves Curling, 05:52:44 03/01/10 Mon
      - Apparently, those pants have their own Facebook page ;0) (NT) -- Gibs, 17:24:01 03/01/10 Mon
        
        LOL, they sure do. You can purchase them,too, and if you follow the link provided on facebook, apparently part of the proceeds go to charity. They�re sold out at the moment! But take a look at the other pants available, they make those olympic pants look REALLY normal.... (NT) -- Jam baffled, 17:57:40 03/01/10 Mon
- Did you guys happen to see Virtue and Moir's performance at the Gala show the other night? It was very funny - inside for link (I hope it works, I haven't done this in a while ;0) -- Gibson, 13:25:47 02/28/10 Sun
  - These two are adorable, and so talented. Have you seen vids of them skating together as little kids? Awww! (NT) -- Cece, 01:28:22 03/01/10 Mon
  - Thanks for sharing this Gibson, I hadn't seen it, I had to check on my Dad at the Nursing home so I missed it and so happy to see this - too funny. Thank also Cece, I will check out You Tube for the rest. (NT) -- Can Sheshe, 22:22:27 03/01/10 Mon
    - Apparently, they are calling that move where she kneels on his back "The Canada Goose" LOL (NT) -- Gibs, 00:05:54 03/02/10 Tue
