THE WEEK THAT WAS

**** THE SUPER BOWL IS HISTORY & THERE IS NO MORE FOOTBALL FOR 6 MONTHS . I WILL REALLY HURT DURING THIS PERIOD .

THE PACKERS BEAT THE STEELERS , I DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD . THE STEELERS HAD MORE PLAYS MORE YARDS GAINED, & MORE TIME OF POSSESSION. THE STEELERS ALSO HAD 3 TURNOVERS WHILE THE PACK HAD NONE .

YOU CAN NOT WIN GAMES TURNING THE BALL OVER . THE PACKERS PROVED THAT YOU CAN WIN WITHOUT RUNNING THE BALL . GREEN BAY THREW ALMOST 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS THEY RAN .
THE NFL IS A PASSING LEAGUE TODAY . YOU CAN'T WIN THE SUPER BOWL WITHOUT A BIG TIME QB . THE LAST TEAM TO WIN WITH A GAME MANAGER AT QB WAS THE TAMPA BAY . THEY WON SUPER BOWL 37 WITH AVERAGE BRAD JOHNSON AT QB.

THE LAST 10 SUPER BOWLS HAVE BEEN WON BY 7 DIFFERENT TEAMS . I HOPE THEY DON'T KILL THE GAME WITH THE LOCKOUT OR STRIKE .

**** THE NFL PLAYERS CANNOT WIN THE BATTLE WITH THE OWNERS . THE OWNERS CAN FIND A GROUP OF PLAYERS ALMOST AS GOOD WHO ARE WILLING TO PLAY FOR MUCH LESS MONEY .

WHERE IS THE PLAYER GOING TO FIND A JOB OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL THAT PAYS 10 % OF HIS FOOTBALL SALARY . THE PLAYERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE WHAT THE OWNERS ARE WILLING TO AT THE END OF THE DAY .

REMEMBER THE TEXAS TORNADOES USED TO SING ' A LITTLE BIT IS BETTER THAN NADA ."

**** THE MEMPHIS TIGERS HAVE MORE DOWN TO THE BUZZER FINISHES THAN ANY TEAM I CAN RECALL . WINNING OR LOSING ON THE LAST SHOT OF THE GAME IS COMMON PLACE FOR THESE TIGERS .

THE TIGERS ARE VERY TALENTED & VERY INEXPERIENCED WHICH LEADS TO WILD INCONSISTENCY . THEY MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES OVER & OVER .

I DON'T THINK THEY CAN WIN THE C - USA TOURNAMENT AT EL PASO . 3 GOOD ROAD GAMES IN A ROW MAY BE TOO MUCH FOR THE YOUNG TIGERS .

**** THE LAST TIME I CAN RECALL THIS MUCH SNOW WAS 1987 . I MUST BE SHOWING MY AGE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE SNOW .

I DON'T WANT TO BUILD ANY SNOWMEN , GO SLEDDING OR THROW SNOWBALLS . I JUST SIT AND LOOK AT THE LAKE , & DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE .

THURSDAY THOUGHTS

**** HOW IN THE WORLD ARE THE PACKERS A 3 POINT FAVORITE OVER THE STEELERS ? HOW DO YOU FIGURE ?



BOTH HAVE VERY GOOD DEFENSES ,1 & 2 IN THE NFL . BOTH OPERATE FROM A 3/4 PACKAGE,BRINGING PRESSURE FROM UNEXPECTED AREAS. NO CLEAR ADVANTAGE HERE.

BOTH TEAMS HAVE PREMIER QB'S. RODGERS IS MORE FLASHY BUT ROETHISBURGER ALREADY HAS TWO SUPER BOWL RINGS. BIG BEN EXTENDS PLAYS MAKING 2 OR 3 BIG PLAYS A GAME WHICH CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

I THINK THE WINNER WILL BE THE TEAM THAT CAN RUN THE BALL THE BEST . THAT LOOKS LIKE THE STEELERS BUT WITH CENTER POUNCEY DOUBTFUL THAT COULD CHANGE.

IN COACHING MATCHUPS, MIKE MCCARTHY VS DICK LEBEAU IS A PUSH . DOM CAPERS VS BRUCE ARIANS` IS ADVANTAGE PACKERS . MIKE TOMLIN DOESN'T CALL OFFENSE OR DEFENSE . HE JUST MANAGES THE GAME WHICH COULD BE AN EDGE BECAUSE MCCARTHY COULD BE DISTRACTED BY CALLING THE OFFENSE .

NEITHER TEAM IS GREAT IN THE KICKING GAME .

I THINK THE GAME WILL BE CLOSE & DECIDED BY 4 OR 5 BIG PLAYS . THE STEELERS HAVE MORE PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE WHICH HELPS.

THIS IS THE 8TH SUPERBOWL FOR THE MEN OF STEEL . THEY HAVE WON 6 , MOST IN THE NFL .

IF THE PACK WINS ,THEY WILL BE THE THIRD TEAM TO WIN WITH 3 DIFFERENT COACHES FOLLOWING DALLAS & PITTSBURGH.

I AM PICKING THE STEELERS IN A TIGHT ONE .

**** THE BEST ARTICLE I'VE READ ON THE MEMPHIS CHARTER SURRENDER WAS IN ONE OF THE NEW YORK PAPERS . I WONDER WHY THE CA CAN NOT PUT THINGS SO CLEAR .

THIS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION . THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE SCS IS APPX 84000 , AS COMPARED TO THE MCS APPX 37000.

THE HIGHER TAX VALUES LOCATED IN THE COUNTY PAY 40% OF THE MCS TAX SHARE .

THIS MERGER IS NOT ABOUT EDUCATING CHILDREN BUT IS ABOUT FUNDING [ MONEY ] & CONTROL .

IF THIS MERGER OCCURS , AS SOON AS SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS TAKE PLACE ,THE SAME OLD CITY GROUP WILL BE IN CONTROL . i PREDICT WILLIE HERENDON WILL BE BACK IN CHARGE.

**** I START A 5 WEEK CHEMO TREATMENT NEXT WEEK . I ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS DURING THIS TIME . I AM JUST TRUSTING IN JESUS TO WALK ME THROUGH THIS VALLEY.
