Once again we get to talk about bringing a playoff system to college football, since the BCS Rankings are so messed up right now. It was clear on Thursday night that the University of Texas Longhorns had no business being on the same field with the SEC Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. The Longhorns were out matched and out classed in every direction and the final score was only close; due to the fact Alabama played a conservative 2nd half. Nick Saban and his coaching staff from Alabama are not quiet aware of the troubles the SEC has when it comes to getting fair rankings in the BCS Poll. They should have did more in the 2nd half to prove the differences in talent, but their conservative play-calling made the final score look respectable for the team in white from Texas.

Apparently Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreet actually thought Texas had a chance to win this game. It was clear by the voice of announcer Brent Musberger from ABC Sports, that he was in favor of an upset and got excited when Texas did something good. His voice carried less weight and enthusiasm when Alabama did something well and they were doing things well all night Thursday. The prediction from Lou Holtz before the game was probably the funniest thing I heard all night. He picked Texas to win the game. Not due to anything Texas had or any special athletes or sophisticated play-calling from Mack Brown and his staff. No, he chose Texas to win and his reason was because Alabama had played such perfect football all year long and they were bound to mess up some where. Well Mr. Holtz, that did not happen and this wasn’t even an exciting championship game for college football fans with the huge difference in talent level.

The SEC and ACC are clearly the two best conferences in football. It’s hard for teams in the ACC and SEC to get up for bowl games in college football. This is because they have to play against such weak opponents in these bowl games and they prepare much better for the talented teams that play in their conferences. No big surprises to see a few southern teams lose; since they were playing against schools that didn’t even belong in bowl games to start with.

It’s time the BCS started to recognize the teams from the South more and give them a higher ranking than these small schools and the schools that don’t play against any real competition. The Alabama Crimson Tide had two turnovers that gave the Texas Longhorns great field position and they only managed to put up 6 points in the first quarter? Texas failed to score in the 2nd quarter and got 7 points in the 3rd quarter and then scored 8 points in the 4th quarter to give them their 21 points in the BCS Championship. The Alabama Crimson Tide scored 24 points in the 2nd quarter of the National Championship Game and these were the only points they needed to win the game. It’s pretty sad when a team doesn’t score in the first quarter and their points from the 2nd quarter is enough to win the game. It was funny to hear Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreet talk about how Texas is getting a foot-hold on the game in the 3rd quarter. They were not getting any foot-holds! Alabama came out of the locker room at half time and played conservative football. They controlled the game the entire time and there was never a doubt who the best football team was that night. Why can’t you guys just admit that Alabama and the SEC teams are far more superior to these weak schools in the Midwest and on the West Coast? The SEC has won the BCS Title for 4 years straight now and have did this with different teams. It’s not like one school had a special class of football players. These are different teams that are destroying these weak opponents you keep lining up for them in the BCS Championship Games.

Brent Musberger was asked to chime-in on the best BCS Championship Game ever. Guess which one he picked? He would naturally choose the one that goes back 5 years and not the previous 4 that the SEC has dominated. He selected the 2006 BCS Championship Game between the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns. What’s funny about this story is 2 things. The first thing is he claims that the 2006 USC Trojans (who don’t play against any real competition) as the best college football team ever. Well Vince Young and the Longhorns had something to say about that as they beat the USC Trojans in that game. Doesn’t that make the Texas team of 2006 the best college football team ever, Brent? After all, they were undefeated that year, even though the Texas Longhorns doesn’t play against any good teams either. Even when USC or these other over ranked BCS teams get beat, these guys that influence the rankings still think they’re the best.

The second thing that is funny about this story with Brent Musberger is the Auburn Tigers. Guess where the Auburn Tigers play? Yes, they are another SEC team. Their record was spotless too and no one beat them in 2006. This is why college football is so screwed up. The SEC can’t produce undefeated teams; due to the level of competition they face on most Saturdays; but when they do, they fully deserve to be in the BCS Title Game before any other conference or school. The Auburn Tigers would have destroyed the Texas Longhorns in 2006 and they would have beat the “greatest college football team in history” USC Trojans too!

I’m already seeing USC as being 5th ranked in the BCS rankings for next year? This is the same USC team that got beat by the Washington Huskies this year and they didn’t win a football game last year. The USC Trojans are going to be suspended for a future bowl game, since they paid Reggie Bush’s family. New allegations this year about them paying McKnight and USC is in double trouble. College football recruits are avoiding USC due to these suspensions they will have to face and no talented football players want to go to USC; when they know they won’t get to play in any bowl games. The USC team is done and that is why McKnight is now going to the NFL and Pete Carol is not sticking around to face these penalties either as he is going to coach the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. Let’s get the USC Trojans out of our top 25 rankings, so we can focus on more deserving teams that have talent and don’t pay their players. USC got over ranked with their freshmen QB this year and he’s not going to be that much better as a sophomore and USC does not belong in the top 5, top 10, top 20, or the top 25.

Congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide for winning the SEC Championship (the real championship game in college football) and for beating another over ranked BCS team in the National Championship Game in college football. As long as they let us have a team there, we will win it every time!

Where People Meet and the Hungry Eat!

A show that comes on RFD TV has caught my attention lately. I’m not sure when Larry opened up his diner on TV, but I have set the DVR to record each show that comes on. It’s a show that the older people would appreciate more than the younger folks would. I’m only 37 years old and people my age may not get Larry’s Country Diner like I do.

You first have to be southern to understand the music and stories that get told on Larry’s Country Diner. It helps if you like country music, gospel music, and especially the country classics that involve a bit of gospel music. Each show brings laughter to me and this is what I like best about Larry’s Country Diner. They also pay tribute to someone that has passed away in country music or a legendary comedian that is no longer with us. You get the tribute, a special dinner guest, and tons of laughs with each show.

If you have the rural TV station that goes by the name RFD TV; you should try to see when this comes on in your area and check it out one evening. I know on Dish Network it is located on channel 231 and Larry’s Country Diner comes on around 6 PM EST. I’m not sure about those of you that have Direct TV or watch RFD-TV through your cable provider.

The first time I ever watched this show was a few weeks back; when they had a comedian as a guest on the show. His name was McGregor or something like that. He is an overweight comedian and a lot of his material is surrounded by his weight problems. I hope Larry and the gang will bring him back for a future epiosode and I get the chance to hear more of his jokes. He really cracked me up about his fear of flying, but he likes to do it a couple of times each year, so he can catch up on his “drinking” and his “praying”. He also compares his car hitting a deer on the road; to the birds that brought down the airplane in the Hudson River. He says if a deer hits his car, guess who wins? Now what brought down that big airplane back in 2009? It was birds! It was really funny to hear him tell this story and I’m sure you can catch him on a rerun or another airing of this specific show.

Let me know if you watch Larry’s Country Diner and which episode you liked best. I have only seen about 3 or 4 different ones so far, but look forward to watching more of them.

Hey Larry? If you’re reading my blog post right now about the Diner; then please say hi to “Blogger Chris” on the air and I will be sure to blog a lot more about your TV show on my other blogs. Keep up the work Larry and I can’t wait to see what new strings the Sheriff plays and hearing the church jokes by that lady that always visits on each episode. (by the way… the previous sentence was NOT meant to say “keep up the good work Larry“, I really meant to say “keep up the work Larry“, because I want to see you helping those waitresses out) See I’m only 37 years-old and I do get Larry’s Country Diner!

Things often don’t come to us easy in life and this has been true for most of Susan Boyle’s life. Her birthday is on April 1st or better known as April Fools Day, but the April Fools joke was on Simon Cowell and his cronies when they were judging a competition in Great Britain earlier this year. Britain’s Got Talent was the name of the show and when Susan made her appearance, it was the typical Simon being Simon with his harsh remarks and looks that have made him popular over at American Idol. This will be the point Simon will later look back on his life and see where the down hill spiral started. Simon’s popularity has grown over the years, but in 2009 he has hit the height of this career. This was just the start for Susan’s though. As the crowd was laughing and seeing this strange looking woman on stage, they would soon change their opinions as a angel came into their ears. That angel was the voice of Susan Boyle and it didn’t take the audience long to stand up and start giving her cheers and applause as Susan was singing the song from Les Miserables called I Dreamed a Dream.  

From this point on Susan Boyle has been an Internet sensation and now has a new album out called I Dreamed a Dream; which was released in late November. Her fame and riches are only beginning for this 48 year old woman from the UK. If you look at Simon Cowell’s career it will be ending soon. He has run his course in life and no one wants to see him anymore. After his cruel intentions toward Susan Boyle and the things he did toward this poor woman, no one should ever give this man nothing again. I will be banning American Idol until they replace Simon Cowell as one of the judges. Simon is now just a leach trying to hold on to Susan’s new found fame as he has kept in close contact with the rising singing star. Hopefully Susan will get a chance to see soon that Simon is just using her and she should stay away from him. I wish Susan Boyle all the luck in the world, but I won’t be buying any of her material, until she pays Simon back for the things he has done to her and so many other people who have tried to make it big in the music business. Cheers Susan Boyle!

It’s been a very interesting year in the sports world. There have been a few things I saw in 2009 that just made me think “what was they thinking?”. The list is really long and I won’t name everything that made us raise our eyebrows in the 2009 world of sports. I mean what was the PGA golfers thinking when they voted Tiger Woods as the Player of the Year? This was something that came after his car wreck, drug use, spousal abuse (which he received), and the extra women he was teeing up on the side from his beautiful wife. Clearly it would seem Tiger Woods would be the winner in 2009 for making the stupidest and most dumb mistakes possible. This great golfer went from big time hero to a complete zero and most think he’s done as a golfer and will never win another PGA tournament.

Why did the Dallas Cowboys decide to part ways with Terrell Owens? What was this great and talented NFL team thinking when they let one of the best wide receivers in football just walk away? America’s Team is now a very average football team and they have 5 losses on the season and will probably lose another one when they face the unbeaten New Orleans Saints on Saturday. It didn’t make much sense to see Terrell Owens going to Buffalo either and you could also ask what was he thinking by choosing Buffalo as his next NFL team.

Also in the NFL you can ask the New England Patriots what are they thinking by not throwing the football to Randy Moss? Quarterback Tom Brady isn’t as good as he’s hyped up to be and Randy Moss is the best weapon that team has ever had. Don’t believe the guys on TV and get caught up in the great legacy of Tom Brady. He’s been lucky to play with a great group of guys and now he plays with the best weapon in the NFL and they don’t throw him the ball.

The sports team that made the worse mistake in sports in 2009 and no one is talking about this is the Orlando Magic. It was just 1 year ago when the Orlando Magic advanced in the Eastern Conference Playoffs to meet Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. One of the main pieces on that Orlando basketball team was Hedo Turkoglu and the Magic franchise threw him away like yesterday’s leftovers and went for a more athletic player in Vince Carter. I’m not knocking the talents of Vince Carter, but Turkoglu was the perfect guy for that Orlando attack in the half court offense. Everything slows down in the NBA Playoffs and Hedo Turkoglu is a good post season weapon and the Magic should have kept him and Dwight Howard together. They say if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. The Orlando Magic did lose in the 2009 NBA Finals to the Lakers, so perhaps they considered their team as broken? What was the Orlando Magic thinking to get rid of Hedo Turkoglu? Maybe it’s a little too early for me to be giving the Orlando Magic a hard time. They were predicted to win the Eastern Conference this year and currently they are 4th looking up at the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. If things stay this way, the Magic might have to defeat 2 of the 3 teams ahead of them now, if they plan to go back to the NBA Finals. I just don’t see this happening at this point in the season.

If I had to give a 2nd place award in these sports blunders, I might have to go to a team that made their mistake a long time ago, but seen it come full-circle in 2009. The Atlanta Falcons made a horrible decision in cutting ties with the talented Michael Vick. He was one of the most dynamic players the NFL has ever seen and the Falcons did not support him or stand behind him; when things got rough for Mr. Vick. In their desire to keep a team full of “good boys“, they lost out on the production that Vick is giving to the Philadelphia Eagles right now. Michael Vick has did a great job in limited playing time this year and guess which team he would score his first NFL touchdown on, since coming back to the NFL? Yep, it was the Atlanta Falcons and Vick’s Eagles showed them up bad at home in the Georgia Dome. Vick not only rushed for a touchdown, but he also threw for one too, as the Eagles ran up the score on the Atlanta Falcons in their own building. What was the Atlanta Falcons thinking not to support Vick and distance their self as far away as possible? Perhaps the Atlanta Falcons learned from their mistake with Vick as they let Jonathan Babineaux play last Sunday and he was pulled over just 3 days earlier with 3 bags of marijuana in his sports utility vehicle. I guess owner Arthur Blank is a animal lover and supports players who smoke pot? Mr. Blank and the Dirty Birds have lost 7 games this year and Vick’s Eagles have only lost 4 games and look bound for the playoffs this year.

Did something in the sports world happen in 2009 and it left you scratching your head? Please let me know which players, coaches, teams, or their owners did something really dumb this past year. I want to see if we can form a list of blunders and examine which sports team made the poorest decision of all. I’m sure you can think of more than one thing, so feel free to list more than 1 sports blunder and we will see if we can help this sports organization recover from their bad decisions. I have the Orlando Magic and Hedo Turkoglu as the top sports blunder in 2009 and give the 2nd place award to Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. I look forward to reading your replies and suggestions to this topic in sports and the question every sports fan wants to know. What was they thinking?

A winner has been announced and we now know who the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner is. It was good news for the South and it’s nice to see the national media outlets recognized our tremendous talent we have down here. Or maybe this is more of a slap in the face and they didn’t make the right choice? This year’s winner of the Heisman Trophy was Mark Ingram from Alabama. He is a great running back and compiled a ton of stats; while playing against good football teams every Saturday. This isn’t the case for the running back from Stanford who finished in 2nd place in the voting by a very slim margin. Toby Gerhartdidn’t match up against the talent Ingram did. Gerhart was playing against much weaker teams in the Pac 10 and he would have never got those numbers against the SEC or ACC teams in college football. Toby Gerhart was just 28 points shy of winning the Heisman Trophy and this is scary.

Another thing that is scary is to see how the rest of the elite college football players placed on the Heisman list. After Ingram and Gerhart from Stanford, we saw Texas quarterback Colt McCoy in 3rd place, the 4th place finisher was Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska and the Florida Gators quarterbackTim Tebowfinished 5th in the Heisman voting. Did these voters ever here of a team from the ACC called Clemson? They should have probably watched some of the Clemson Tigers football games this year and they would have seen the best football player in the country. If there is a better player than C.J. Spiller; then I would love to see this athlete. Spiller has speed, moves, and more speed. He is clearly the best running back in college football and it’s very surprising that the winner would be another running back that plays the same position as Spiller.

The defensive player from Nebraska looks like a top overall draft pick for the NFL someday. I could have understood if a player playing a different position won the Heisman Trophy over C.J. Spiller. It’s the fact they gave another running back a higher placement than Spiller that is shocking. It gets even more shocking to see the Stanford tailback get more votes than C.J. Spiller too.

Ingram from Alabama got 1,542 yards for the season. This was more yards than Spiller’s 1,145, but Ingram had 48 more carries than Spiller and Spiller played hurt a lot. Spiller did have 445 yards in receiving and Ingram caught 3 less balls for a total of 322 yards. Ingram had 3 more touchdowns than Spiller, but Mark Ingram is playing for the number 1 team in the land, so you would expect him to have more touchdown opportunities. I have seen both of these great backs play and I’m not knocking Mark Ingram at all. Ingram is a fantastic running back, but the running back from Clemson is an amazing back and will be an elite NFL running back on the next level.

The reason Nebraska’s guy got up there in the Heisman voting is due to Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreet influencing the TV audience as they always do. These guys are so bias and can’t stand Southern teams and they purposely talk up players and teams, so they can make them appear better than the teams and players from the ACC and SEC. In their hate for the South, they actually caused Toby Gerhart to lose the Heisman Trophy this year. If they would have kept their mouth shut in the Texas and Nebraska game they did in prime time and wouldn’t have talked Nebraska’s star defensive linemen up, those votes would have went Stanford’s way and Kirk’s beloved Pac 10 would be the holders of the trophy this year. The Pac 10, Toby Gerhart, and the Stanford Cardinal football team can thank Kirk Herbstreet and Brent Musberger for their guy not winning the 2009 Heisman Trophy.

Congratulations to Mark Ingram and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team for your achievements in college football this year. We know that you’re already the champions in college football by beating the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship Game. We also know that the Texas Longhorns don’t deserve to be in the BCS Title Game. Make us all happy and put these guys away and let’s show up another over ranked team that ESPN, Kirk Herbstreet, and Brent Musberger has helped to get there. Texas has zero chance of winning and probably a 90 percent chance of losing by 30+ points! Sorry college football fans, but there is no playoffs and this is probably due to the fact that the Southern teams would clean house against these over ranked teams that currently make up the top 10.

Beverly Hills is where a lot of wealth lives and thrives in Southern California. You might have heard of that famous Rodeo Drive that runs through the heart of Beverly Hills. It’s only about 3 blocks of the road that is filled with all the shops and stores that you hear about, but these 3 blocks is the highest price merchandise you will find anywhere else in the world. Only the very wealthy can afford to actually go in these stores and make purchases, but many tourists still find it a great place to just go site seeing.

The thought of going to a high profile event in Hollywood would be a great. You would have the chance to meet some of Hollywoods elite and of course your favorite movie star. The food and entertainment is always top of the line and Los Angeles catering companies like the Bashful Butler help to put on these glamorous events. I can imagine the large ice sculptures and beautifully appointed tables and rooms that make Hollywood parties what they are. Most people that live in this area probably have local get together that to most us would look like someones wedding. Thanks to the television show most of us know that 90210 is the zip code for Beverly Hills. I do think Beverly Hills has a couple of more zip codes in their area, but none are more famous than the 90210.

It was a bit surprising to see Flash Forward on ABC end their season and in the fashion they did. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, Flash Forward did not come on last Thursday. After taking a week off, they did come back with a new episode. Now most episodes of Flash Forward go off with the audience wanting more. This is a typical pattern for one of the hottest new shows in the Fall line up this season. Their last show on December 3rd was good as usual, but left us with the usual cliff hangers. There was nothing special about Flash Forward when it went off Thursday night. The only shocker was that the show was ending for the season and will be back in March of 2010 with brand new episodes. This caught me off guard and I wasn’t expecting this.

I like Flash Forward and I have watched every show to this point in the series. It is lacking in substance and they give out very little information each week; while only bringing up new questions about what caused the black out. Everyone that watches FlashForward wants to know what caused the black out and this show is taking the long way home. I’m not sure my interest level will be that high; when March comes around in 2010. That is a long ways away and I think Flash Forward is making a huge mistake. They need to keep the show new each week; since they’re leaving so many mysteries on the table and answer very few of them each week. As a devoted fan of the show, I just don’t think I will watch reruns of this great new show that is on ABC. Since I won’t be tuning in for the repeats, I will forget about Flash Forward and I may have a new thing to watch on Thursday nights; when March of 2010 gets here. I could understand if they need a break or more time to create new episodes, but making us wait 3+ months for this is just asking too much (in my opinion).

Have you been keeping up with the Flash Forward series on ABC? Are you curious to see what causes the black outs to occur? Did it shock you to see that the show had ended for the 2009 season and won’t be back until March? If they knew the show on December 3rd was going to be the last one, they should have made more of an effort to leave us on the edge of our chairs. I think we got the usual cliff hanger ending and there wasn’t anything more special about this one; than the previous endings Flash Forward creators decided to use. I’m very disappointed and I’m not likely to tune in next March to see how this show explains the world wide blackout.

Police did say Tiger Wood’s accident in Florida was a serious one. Later on we find out that the superstar golfer was not seriously injured in his car crash that took place two days ago at 2 AM in the morning. Golfer Tiger Woods was drifting in and out of consciousness and this would seem to be serious to me. Unless the authorities are already aware of a drug connection and the drugs were causing these effects on Tiger Woods. Since an attorney is involved, it would seem that Tiger Woods did have drugs in his system when he ran over a fire hydrant and then proceeded to hit a tree.

Busted lips are the injury reports the media is reporting right now. Police are scheduled to do an interview with Mr. Woods later today as they continue to investigate the Tiger Wood’s car crash. It seems obvious that drugs are related and Tiger does have his attorney involved already and it seems too early for an attorney this early in the investigation; unless Wood’s knows that he is facing a DUI charge of some sort. I look for this story to heat up over the coming days as the public and golf fans keep a close eye on this one. A lot of pressure and eyes are on the Florida law enforcement right now to see that celebrity status doesn’t play a part in determining Tiger Wood’s guilt or innocence.

Well I may have spoken too soon it seem as if the joist package in the house has more problems than I anticipated. I guess I should have hired a home inspector but that is something that I am quite capable of doing, its just that as I am older and not as flexible and healthy as I used to be I did not get under the house to see all the damage as I went on what I could feel beneath my feet when I walked thru the place. There was even discussion about a french drain installation because of some water that was pooling up around the foundation that could be a future problem. But I am still not angry that I didn’t do that because I still will have a good home for someone to live in and not much money involved. The housing market has really put a hurting on a lot of good people and there are bargains to be had is you do your homework, I had been looking at this property for 6 months and finally made a deal 0n it with right at $50000.00 less than what the asking price was. I will spend about 10,000 to get it in good shape and by the time the housing crunch is over I will be sitting pretty with free piece of property.

One of the first slide styles phones that still has the latest touch screen features and offers high speed connectivity from AT&T so that you can watch your favorite shows and sports team right on your phone. Plus with its enhanced browser viewing websites and social marketing pages like Facebook has become more natural and easier for the end user. And with various AT&T discounts you can buy two phones for the price of one which is great for this time of year. It has a ton of features, but one that caught our attention was the ability to be able to print to a compatible printer directly from your phone. How cool is that!!!

Miley Cyrus the famous singer we know as Hannah Montana is making the news today. One of her tour buses flipped over on a Virginia highway, but the singer Miley Cyrus was not on this bus. There were actually 4 vehicles going south for a upcoming concert appearance and only 1 bus was involved in the accident. Miley is said to be near Nashville, Tennessee and is not in Virginia where the bus accident took place. One person on board did lose their life in this horrible bus accident.

Reports are suggesting now that the concert will still go on this weekend. I find that hard to believe and it seems like a quick and irresponsible decision on the people in charge of Miley’s concert. It will take place on Sunday in Greensboro, N.C., and this would probably be around the same time a funeral will take place for one of her workers. The people in Greensboro should boo Miley Cyrus if she does make her concert appearance on Sunday.

We all know that the show must go on for famous entertainers and it seems this is the way Miley Cyrus’s camp is playing it. This is more of a Hollywood belief and not a southern one. People in the South and the true South do care for their friends and people who work with them or for them. I can assure you that Miley Cyrus and her promoters don’t represent the views of Southerners. No way would a true southerner make just a snap decision; when a person has just lost their life. Perhaps it would be best in the long run to do the show and dedicate it to them, but this quick decision was obviously not in the best interest of this person’s family.

The person that lost their life in this bus accident is unknown and this is because the authorities want to tell their family first. How Miley Cyrus’s camp could already make the decision that the show must go on and this person’s family members don’t even know they are dead yet is just classless. Not the way we do things in the South and it’s terrible we can’t have one of our own representing the values we live by each day. If Miley Cyrus and her promoters can’t take the time to shed a tear for their own; then why should we do anything else for them. I suggest an all out ban on Miley Cyrus products, movies, and anything related to the young star. Don’t expect no one to shed a tear for you Miley Cyrus and this goes for your dad Billy Ray Cyrus too; if something horrible ever happens to you down the road. I can assure you that we all go through hardships in our life and don’t expect the support to be there when this comes to you Miley Cyrus and gang!

I do apologize for these behaviors and my thoughts are with the people that lost a loved one today on a Virginia highway.

I love this time of the year and the way sports are set up for the weekends. You can watch NHL Hockey, the NFL, and now basketball has started in the NBA and they show it all on TV. You can watch a lot of games on the weekend if you’re a sports fan. It’s not hard to find a good ball game on the tube and this is my favorite time of the year. One more thing that can make it better is inviting your friends over for a poker game; while you have sports on TV. I feel like I’m in heaven; when a few of my friends come over to play cards and watch sports on television. Sometimes we lose track of the game if things are heating up in cards. It works the other way around if the game on TV gets close; then we start dealing a bit slower.

Now I’m just a casual poker player. I don’t play for big money and I don’t have a Poker Odds Chart memorized in my head. I know some people are good at that and I have one friend that is quick with the odds in poker. He usually gets the better of me in our card games. I’m descent at math, but don’t play cards enough to know which math to use (if that makes sense). If you have trouble getting your friends together to play cards; then you’re force to play poker online. Most of us will run into this problem, due to the fact when we do get older, we get married and have kids and this influences our weekend poker games a lot. If your wife doesn’t like cards or your friends; then be sure to get a high speed connection with your computer; because I think you will be playing a lot of online poker. It’s not all bad and you do have access to more Poker Tools when you play cards online. You just lose your friends having burping contests and seeing which one can eat the most pizza.

I enjoy playing rummy, spades, canasta, and several versions of poker online. My favorite card game is probably spades. I’m picky on the way I like to play and it’s important for me to have a good partner in spades. Another fun card game that I like is cribbage. Have you ever heard of a card game called cribbage before? It’s not too popular and most people don’t know how to play it. I don’t like playing cribbage at home, because it’s too hard keeping up with the score. It’s best to play cribbage online; where the computer can keep your score. It’s a two or four player game, but it’s much better with partners. If you like to play cards for money though, I guess poker is really the only one you can do online and win real money. I would need to rent or buy a few Poker Videos before I started playing for cash online. I don’t trust my current poker skills to win me any money, but it would be nice if I could earn some extra money from playing poker. Do you play poker online for real money? If so, feel free to share some poker tips or poker secrets and I might just give it a try!

Forget the old saying that tries to say that canines or dogs are man’s best friend. We know what men really like and it’s all those cool tech gadgets and things with lights and buttons we can press. This is what men really like and the dog is a distant 2nd when it comes to electronics. There isn’t many men that can say they have owned more dogs than electronic products. This is because our true love in life is electronics and this includes all the boys and men who play the popular gaming consoles. Video gaming is just a small part of our love for electronics. The TV is fun for many different reasons. We can get them very small or get one that is bigger than the living room. Once we have a wide screen or crisp HD TV, we can then plug a variety of other electronic gadgets into our televisions. A DVD player, a VCR, our video games, a video camera, and the list goes on and on. You didn’t really think that the dog was man’s best friend did you? A big TV and a GPS tracking device for the road or for our boats out on the lake is much more important than the family pet. Men don’t have anything against dogs and we don’t even mind the ladies repeating this old fashion phrase. Perhaps at the turn of the 20th century, the dog was man’s best friend. We are now living in the 21st century and I can assure you the dog doesn’t stand a chance with all the modern technology in electronics!

A TV show that has withstood the test of time over the last 7 years has been the Gilmore Girls. It originally came on the WB Network and it’s debut was in 2000. The 7th season was completed in 2007 and I’m not sure if there is an 8th season of the Gilmore Girls or not? I ran across the 6th season of the Gilmore Girls at Buy.com, which they are currently selling for about $25 (cheap). I’m not sure if you’re a fan of the show or not, but I have watched a few episodes here and there. It is a pretty good program and I can understand why so many people like to watch the Gilmore Girls.

Now did you think the Gilmore Girls were sisters? Are you aware of their relationship and how they know each other? If you just tuned in and starting watching the Gilmore Girls, you would think they’re are sisters, neighbors, or just best friends. Actually it is a mother and daughter relationship they have, but it’s not the typical mother and daughter relationship. They do act like they are sisters and it could be a little confusing for someone that hasn’t never seen the show before.

The mother is Lorelai Gilmore who is played by actress Lauren Graham. Alexis Bledel is the one who plays the daughter named Rory on the Gilmore Girls. Rory Gilmore is the main focus and it’s her character that the show revolves around. You probably know this already if you have watched an episode or two of the Gilmore Girls.

I was aware that they did do a 7th season of the show, but I don’t know if they did an 8th season? Perhaps you can reply and let me know if you know the answer to any future seasons of the Gilmore Girls. Most TV shows fail in their first year or have trouble keeping a fan base beyond the original season. If a TV show is able to stay on the air for 3 seasons; then chances are they have something working for them. The Gilmore Girls doing at least 7 seasons shows that the magic between Lorelai and Rory is working and people want to see what this mom and daughter are up to. It is a clean show based on today’s standards. A few adult or grown-up moments do take place as we’re watching Rory grow up, but it’s done in a tasteful and parent approving way. Any parents that let their kids or teens watch the Simpsons or MTV would have no problems with them watching the Gilmore Girls.

So if you wasn’t aware of these two being a mom (Lorelai) and daughter (Rory) now you know. The Gilmore Girls are not sisters, but they do act like sisters or best friends on the show. You can buy the Gilmore Girls season by season online. You should be able to find a good sale on their first 6 seasons. The 7th season might be a little too high to buy right now, but if you don’t mind waiting, you should be able to pick it up pretty cheap in a year or two from now. Don’t forget to let me know if there is a season 8 for the Gilmore Girls.
