In response to the post by Jae a couple days ago.

Chris Weinke living in Bradenton

You always knew Chris Weinke would be back in football. It's been 10 years since he led the 'Noles to a perfect season, going wire to wire for Bobby Bowden's second national championship. The former Heisman Trophy winner was in the NFL from 2001-2007 playing for both the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers. And after a few years in the business world, Weinke is back in the game as the Director of the IMG/Madden Football Academy in Bradenton, Florida. "This offers me the opportunity under the tutelage of Coach Madden and alongside long time NFL and college coaches to gain coaching experience and work with some of the best minds in the game," said Weinke. As the director of the academy, Weinke will coach, hire staff for camps, and work closely with John Madden to build curriculum for the students.

We may have to take a trip to IMG boys to see if we can chat with the Weinkster...pretty awesome.

Death by a thousand cuts

I see that we are all speechless about the healthcare "reform" that was passed on Sunday or as I like to call it, America's death by a thousand cuts. Constitutionality aside, these guys are so clueless as to what the American people want it's insane. The representative from our district got the front-door of her office smashed in from people angry about her support for the bill. Now obviously I don't condone vandalism but that just shows the level of anger from the people she is supposed to represent.

The next thing they plan to shove down our throats is financial regulation reform. This from the lame-duck senator from CT who if you just look at his picture screams career-politician. Why can't he just retire and leave us alone instead of saddling us with more regulation and another consumer protection agency to protect us from the big bad businessman. We already have a consumer protection agency, it's called the internet. Freedom of information=consumer protection.

These incumbents are ripe for the picking. All of them. The dems are obviously off their rockers but the republicans are no better. They are so obviously removed from reality it is sickening. We need congressional seats to be unpaid positions again, or term limits, or something. This has gotten way out of hand.

Battlefield Bad Company 2

Eric stumbled across this one and I'm totally on board with it. Sucks that there isn't any coop but the multiplayer and single player seem awesome. Who else is up for getting this?

Hey Been A While... Beer

Hey guys how are you? It's been awhile... Hope you guys are all doing great! Looking through the old posts I just noticed some of you, or Eric at least, are into craft beer! Just wondering if this is catching on wherever you are. Finally seeing real beer being served in more places in Miami. Also, Eric, have you tried brewing anything else since the pale ale in December? Just wondering, we're interested in trying down here in Miami and would be curious about any advice you have to offer. Happy brewing!

NCAA Tournament Challege

Join up ladies and gents and let's have some fun. It seems pretty wide open this year as there is not a completely dominate team. Certainly teams like Kentucky and Kansas look solid, but definitely beatable. FSU will make it for the second straight year this year probably a 8-10 seed so hopefully just winning ONE game will be good. Will UF miss it for the third straight year??? We shall find out in about 2 hours it is a fun time of year so sign up and let's pick some winners.

Prediction: I will beat Rory in this challenge...the game within the game.

[L] Possible Federal Ban on Fishing

Well, this could be another step in Obama's plan. Does he just want more control or does he just hate America?

Maybe this issue is being overblown, but it sure seems like Obama is trying to take American rights and hand the control to the feds at an exponential rate.

[L] Soldier throws back grenade

This guy is brave beyond measure. Definitely deserves to be honored.

Iron Man 2

This too shall pass

[L] Clackamas man exercises free speech rights by giving cops the finger

Homeboy has some big brass ones. I've always known it wasn't against the law, but never had the guts to test it.

"I did it because I have the right to do it," Ekas said. "We all have that right, and we all need to test it. Otherwise we'll lose it."

Love it.

Seeing as beal's sad post has brought the blog to a screeching halt, I figured a more light-hearted post might get things moving again.

Sad day at the Beal household

Opie went to doggy heaven yesterday. Mom found him floating in the bayou. He has been in and out with his senility the past 6 months or year. He was deaf and had poor eye site. Dad had him on some meds but took him off as he seemed to be worse on them. After a month of him wandering off and falling in the bayou, his time was up. Mom says he had a wonderful day before falling in. He played chase a few times with Peppy, he slept in the warm sun, and had a few snacks.

He would have been 15 in May.

RIP Opie!

I told you not to f*** with me

There goes a minute of your life that you will never get back, damn puppies.

First snow since 1989

It is not as bad as what Drew got hit with in DC, but we have not had snow here since 89. It was a solid couple inches after it was a done snowing and it was pretty cool to see the palm trees covered in snow. I thought I moved from NYC to avoid this crap....global warming my butt.

I can see Rory trying this
