Now that football has ended........

.....and baseball looms on the horizon, it seems apt to share this wonderful comedic bit by George Carlin. Enjoy....

The Best Commercial in the Super Bowl

A very special touchdown

Years from now, the players at Maize and Maize South won't remember the final score of the middle school football game they played in the suburb of Wichita last Tuesday.

But they'll remember the touchdown they let Brett Loving score late in the game. Brett was born with a muscular disorder that makes something like playing football out of the question. His parents allowed him to join the football team so he could enjoy the camaraderie.

Late in last Tuesday's game, the coaches for both teams agreed to a play that would let Brett score. I get tears in my eyes every time I watch it.

There's something wrong in Frisco

They're taking their football entirely too seriously, as this Rick Reilly story on ESPN.com shows.

I'm a big football fan, but.....seriously? Whatever happened to having fun? What is that kind of physical punishment doing to still-developing bodies? What long-term damage to the brain is occurring?

All for a few wins that will be forgotten in five years at most? (and perhaps because the player has had multiple concussions by the time he's 15)

It's pathetic....and it would be a joke except for the fact that these are real children being placed in danger.

Wake up, Frisco.

It's pee-wee football, not the invasion of Normandy.

And the winner of the Super Bowl will be......

.......the team that scores the most points.

Seriously, I picked New England and Green Bay to be playing in this game. I got one of those right.

I think New England will win this game, even though New York has all the tools to whip the Patriots.

Simply put, Tom Brady doesn't lose revenge games. And he'll want revenge for the Giants derailing New England's perfect season four years ago.

Oh, I know: New England's defense - particularly its secondary - is not terribly strong. And the Giants have the defensive line to pressure Brady ---- which was a key component to the victory four years ago.

Frankly, my pick is based on nothing more than a gut feeling. Well, and the fact that Brady just doesn't play two bad games in a row...and he was quite human in the AFC Championship Game.

To be honest, the Patriots are here more because Baltimore choked than anything else.

Still, they're here. And I expect them to win.

Mind you, I'll be rooting for the Giants. It's more rooting against the Pats than anything else, though.

Nuns playing football??

That sounds like the set-up for a joke.......but here's the video proof.



One of them is a friend of mine - Sr. Sophia Grace. We knew her as Kim Huschka prior to her entering the convent. She hasn't taken final vows, but she is so happy there I know that the religious life is her true calling. She's the one who runs the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, by the way.

This video has a great sense of humor, as you'll see.

How's that again?

"There wasn't a time where I didn't think we couldn't win the game."
Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora


Huh?

If a double negative makes it a positive, then a triple negative is...carry the 3, fractionalize the hypotenuse, and your outcome is.....egg roll.
