Stuff: The big story of course in baseball was Albert Pujols changing uniforms from Cardinal to Angel. It hurt to hear him say he was glad to be an Angel but then what do you expect him to say to the tune of 25 million a year? Unfortunately, disappointment within the fan base and confusion with offers has led to some very negative reactions. One good thing; a generous portion of the money will go to his foundation and other charities he supports for challenged kids.
The Steelers beat their friendly rival Cleveland in one of the ugliest games seen in some time. Big Ben is a monster coming back after a high ankle sprain sent him to the locker room. That guy will play off a stretcher if need be. Fired coaches in the NFL: Todd Haley , Kansas City and Tony Sparano, Miami. Do not know how Haley's departure will affect Tyler Palko's future. Haley was a staunch supporter.
A Tebow commentary: He is one heck of an athlete. One thing for certain; it is well known by NFL running backs that accumulated punishment to the body shortens a career profoundly. Tim Tebow takes more hits than a quarterback with a poor offensive line. He definitely is enjoying success and deservedly so, but to quote Brian Urlacher of the Bears; "It's fairly simple once you know what the formation is and what runs they can do out of that formation". In short, opposing teams will devise game plans to limit his running capability. Tebow would have been more of a sensation in the 30's and 40's running the old single and double wing formations.
The NBA is a mess. Enough said!
Penn State having hearings this week which will be twittered, emailed and texted (is that correct?). As mentioned on a Re-Cappy it will be a long sad process. Contradictory and false statements add to the tragedy. A thought: after the Penn State story broke there was a series of similar reports concerning child sexual abuse involving men that work with children and young adults. How does this affect the careers of well intended others that choose this honorable line of work?
Brief stuff: Bad do it yourself story. A woman was spotted in a Walmart mixing chemicals to manufacture meth. She was at it for six hours before apprehended. Jodi Foster's estranged father(what does that mean?) eighty nine years old convicted of twenty one misdemeanor counts of grand theft. Quite a bit for an old dude. It may be in the wrong direction, but the man is still thinking! BTW, Jodi, one of my all time favorites. Texting while driving, an activity I abhor, has increased fifty percent in the last year. Fifty percent percent of what :-)
Make Note; This is 12-12 11. Brings to mind that next year 12-12-12 will be the last of these date oddities for another eleven years. Since 01-01-01 we have seen this every 13 months. The next one will be 2-2-22 and then only to come about every eleven years; 3-3-33, etc. It all reminds me of when I first became aware of this occurrence. It was 5-5-55. I was around for 4-4-44 but having too much fun dancing to notice. We will not go back further:-)Soon!
