Here we go. The most powerful storm on the face of the earth is about to make a very close pass to our region. It has been a long time since we last had a hurricane, and it is so easy to forget how fickle these storms can be...

Not who I expected

If you ever want to put money on a sports bet, just ask me who I think will win and then wager the opposite way. I'm a great contrarian indicator. Take for instance the NFL playoffs.

The McGwire asterisk*
Posted by Jeff Bailey, Executive Producer on January 12th, 2010 at 07:34:54 am, 4428 views
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" You know that ironic line from the movie 'Casablanca', where Captain Renault feigns outrage while seconds later pocketing his gambling winnings. I had that same thought yesterday -- I'm shocked, shocked to hear that Mark McGwire used steroids.

Most entertaining game of the weekend

A few days ago I wrote the following about the Packers/Cardinals NFL wild card playoff game: "Don't care either way. ZZZZzzzzzz...."
Wow, was I wrong!

Deja vu times three in NFL playoffs

Does it strike you as unique/odd/downright weird that the first round of the NFL playoffs this coming weekend will look similar to the final week of the regular season?

Christmas music Best and Worst
Posted by Jeff Bailey, Executive Producer on December 16th, 2009 at 01:04:00 pm, 8871 views
This time of year it's pretty difficult to get away from someone somewhere playing Christmas (yes, I said the "C" word) music. From stores to radio stations, it's all over the place. Some of the songs out there are wonderful classics that I don't mind hearing again, but there are others I can't stand and wish all versions were burned and never heard from again.

Gee, I can't imagine why these aren't flying off the shelves at Toys "R" Us, but there sure were a lot of them. Only 10 bucks a piece according to the TRU web site.
