New Orleans Has Come All the Way Back

Monday, February 8th, 2010

What a sweet win for Da Saints and awesome news for the city of New Orleans. What a feel good story.

Let us never forget what happened with Katrina such a short time ago. Here is a great film called “Katrina’s Children” to remind us of what once was and what it can be.

Uplifting news and congratulations to the Saints! And they came back and defeated even Mother Nature. Click here to watch this movie.

Mike Wise Agrees But Don’t Believe the Experts :-)

Monday, October 6th, 2008

I remember after the first game of the season, the mainstream media experts (and some fans too) were calling for Jim Zorn to be fired - after one game!

Don’t believe the experts or people that call in on radio shows. “No one knows nothing,” as a great man once said. Our community is over the moon about the Redskins season right now. Hail to the Redskins! Way to go!

Norv Turner Deserves to be Upset

The San Diego Chargers lost a game because of two non calls by the game officials. The first non call happened because the cameras that handle replays weren’t working on the sidelines. What?!!!!!!!! And the second was an admitted blown call that would have ended the game in San Diego’s favor.

I have to admit that the game was one of the best I have seen in a long, long time but as a sports team owner, I just wince when I see a game lost because of an official’s call. Teams work so hard to win and who knows if this loss will ultimately keep San Diego out of the playoffs this season. No one will remember the calls. All people will see is the won/loss column.

To lose a game that was winnable on two pivotal calls by on field officials is deeply depressing.

There will be no winners in this one.

A great storybook ending turns into mush; a great career to be remembered in this way; and a franchise that now has no good options.

It is very hard for great players to know when the time is right to move on.

The fans will never let go.

The media will keep at it.

This will go on and on until Favre gets his way. Very sad to watch this unfold.
