The Dead Zone

Now that football is over with we are entering the dead zone.

Sure there is March Madness to look forward to and then a few months later the NBA playoffs, some hockey games, a few golf tournaments, the start and end of baseball, a little tennis. some bowling and I almost forgot, the Winter Olympic Games.....code for snooze fest.

Curling? Really? This is an Olympic sport? This is the equivalent of shuffleboard on a cruise ship and people my age and older compete. This event should be held on a frozen lake in Minnesota and ribbons given out not medals.

How about the two man luge? I crack up at this one. This is where one guy in spandex lays down on top of another guy dressed in spandex and they speed down a steep bobsled-like run.....must be a european thing.

The Super Bowl was great - three thrillers in a row now. The NFL has this thing rigged better than any NBA game don't you think? Our house was divided on Super Sunday; 1/2 of the group was for the Colts and the other half was for the Saints and half of those pulling for the Saints actually thought the Colts would win. I was outnumbered like 11-1. In the end, the Saints were victorious - what a great win for the good folks of N'Awlins. I'm sure the party is just getting started.

Jake spent the weekend down here which was great. We went to the Rebel game to see them blow out a good BYU team. Next up New Mexico. All three teams are tied for first place in tne conference.

Training camp for the NFL is 5 months away - in between we've got the combine, the draft and the usual free agent carousel. These little tidbits will keep the flame alive until late summer. Let's hope the Eagles upgrade their defense this off-season.

Shot a 36 on the front nine the other day. It's funny, the more time I spend away from the course, the better I shoot. If I played every day I would be in the 40's.

Valentines Day on the horizon.....skiing right after that.
