What's Next?

Global Warming?  You must be kidding?  We were greeted with 2" of snow this morning after having record highs this past week.  More snow to come with the temperatures to match.  Hey Al, you sick twisted moron!  That's snow out there, not a heat wave melting the tires off of my truck!!

Next on the list is that Kirk Kerkorian is bidding on Chrysler.  A surprise to say the least.  What's even more interesting is that he would give the Unions, employees, and the management the chance to own part of the company.  Good move on his part - if you own part of the company you work for, you tend to have that personal stake & pride in what you do.  No word on if the Board is seriously considering this offer (which is better for the employees than an investment firm buying the company).  But we will still have to wait on pins and needles for the outcome of this version of "Deal or No Deal."

But is there any justice either?  Ford is paying their CEO $28 Million for four months of work.  Considering that the company lost 12.7 billion in 2006 and workers are getting less than a $1000 bonus, I think this is a little bit excessive.  Of course, tell that to all of the employees let go from the company who got the shaft instead. 

On a happier note, the British sailors are home.  What the aftershocks will be after this latest incident with the Iranians is anyone's guess.

Finally, the Masters are being played in Augusta this weekend.  I plan on watching the final round (too much other stuff to watch everything).

Superbowl 2007 Prediction

The Superbowl contest between the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears is just a little more than 24 hours away.  So...

The pundits have Indianapolis winning by 7 points.

The Common Sense Household want a close game with excellent and entertaining commercials.  At $2.3 Million per 30 second spot, they had better be good...

Oh yeah, the Common Sense Household have one more thing to say about who we are predicting who will win the Big Game:

 

GO COLTS!!!

 

Over & out...

Colts Win!!!

COLTS WIN!!! 

It's really going to be fun - two of my favorite teams will be playing in the Superbowl, but I'm leaning toward the Colts.  I'm looking forward to a good game.

And I know that Teresa's happy!

Superbowl Recap

Well, Pittsburg won as most people thought. It wasn't an exciting game, but it was a lot closer than what I thought.

Seattle made a couple of plays near the end of the first half which didn't make sense to me, and Pittsburgh got that first touchdown on a oh-so-close call that really could have gone either way.

The commercials were average in my opinion. Those that stood out in my mind as being the favorites are:

  1. The Fed-Ex commercial where the caveman was trying to send his "package".
  2. The Careerbuilder.com where the guy is working for monkeys and the gal was working for donkeys.
  3. The Bud Light commercial where the guy was about to be mauled by the bear, only to have his buddy steal the Bud Light (Not cool, Dave!)
  4. The Budwieser commercial where the young Clydesdale started to pull the beer wagon (with some covert assistance).
Let your opinion on the game and/or the commercials be known in the comment section. Thanks!

Superbowl Predictions

Well, about 8 1/2 hours from this post, Superbowl XL will begin. What are the predictions for this game? Three out of four pundits are calling for a Pittsburg win.

I guess I'm picking Pittsburg to win, but I'm hoping it will be a close game. I still remember Bradshaw winning 4 Superbowls. The only thing that I seem to be able to associate with Seattle is the Brian Bosworth hoopla that turned into a bunch of nothing.

Anyway, if I'm wrong, so be it, and anyone reading this post can flame away! Enjoy the game.

Superbowl Picks

In approximately 7 days and 15 minutes, Superbowl XL will begin. So the blog has temporarily been hijacked with the official Superbowl graphics. Who is your pick for this year?

Personally, I would like to see a game that is evenly matched and close, not one of these blowouts. That way, we have some entertainment besides the commercials.

Comment now, comment early on this topic.
