You may be a Ravens fan if . . .

The Ravens recently cut starting cornerback Chris McAlister and signed someone named Foxworth. (They also lost Bart Scott to the Jets. Woohoo!) So-o-o, in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, complete this sentence: You may be a Ravens fan if . . .

Example: You may be a Ravens fan if you turn down a trip to London because you heard Big Ben was there;

The winning entry will receive his/her choice of a sixpack of Iron City or National Bohemian beer. No award until after Lent though as we assume you're all behaving. Good luck!

Out With a Bang

Now is the winter of our discontent. Baldwin didn't make the playoffs again. Rumors swirl about the possible dismissal of the head coach, assistant coach and the manager/ball boy. The good news is Tommy put twenty-one points on Norwin, along with six steals and four blocked shots. The head coach appologized for keeping Tommy in the game long enough to make it close. He has the knack for taking excellent ball players and shaping and molding them into timid, tentative underachievers. Not to be bitter.

Happy birthday, Peanut!

That's right, Marin hit the big, uh, 0-2 today. Par-tay at Eat N Park. Grandma turned out a fabulous banana cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. We're living the dream!

Go Stillers!

E has to work and I think I'm just hanging around the house for the big game. Might pop into the local 'cause I'm in the pool and the food ain't so bad. I've been in at least one Super Bowl pool every year for over 30 years. Have I ever won anything? No-o-o-o-o. If any of you guys are good at math - try to figure out if that violates any laws of probability.

The last few years are sort of deja vu all over again as it relates to you youngsters. When your dads and moms were your age, the Steelers were busy winning 4 Super Bowls in 6 years. It didn't make us any better or smarter (it was parenthood that made us this brilliant) but it was a lot of fun to watch. Kinda cool to see it happening again.

Tommy scores a score

Tommy got some ink in the PG by scoring 20 points in the Baldwin - Connellsville game, six in overtime.

Ride Board

Is everybody OK for transportation to Gettysburg? We might have room for one more outbound, provided he or she is well mannered and, you know, self contained, but on the return, we may be heading down Baltimore way.

ANYWAY, need ride or have ride, use the ol' blogarooski here.
