***** THE FIRST IS THE BEST
THE FIRST WEEK OF FOOTBALL IS THE BEST WEEK OF FOOTBALL .
WHY ?
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNDEFEATED , NO ONE HAS LOST A GAME
ALL HOPES ARE HIGH AND ALIVE . NO DREAMS HAVE DIED .
ALL PLAYERS ,COACHES & FANS STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS OUR YEAR .
OH! IT IS A WONDERFUL TIME !!! BUT IT COMES TO AN END FRIDAY NIGHT - NIGHT OF THE FIRST GAME .
AFTER THE OPENING DATE HOPES ARE DASHED , DREAMS HAVE ENDED, AND ONE HALF THE TEAMS ARE LOSERS. TRUE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE ,& PRO .
SO ENJOY , ENJOY THE OPENING WEEK OF FOOTBALL SEASON. IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER & IT IS OVER SO SOON .
***** IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN DO ?
I AM NOT A DEMOCRAT NOR REPUBLICAN .
BUT I AM VERY DISTURBED IF THESE CANDIDATES ARE THE BEST WE HAVE .
AT THIS TIME THE FRONTRUNNERS ARE HILLARY CLINTON & DONALD TRUMP .
SAY IT AINT SO JOE . GIVE ME A BREAK !
HIL-LIE-REE CLINTON IS THE MOST UNTRUSTWORTHY PERSON TO EVER SEEK THE OVAL OFFICE .
SHE IS A POWER-DRUNK, DISHONEST, PERSON WHO IS A COMPLETE STRANGER TO THE TRUTH .
LORD HELP US IF SHE IS OUR PRESIDENT . WE WILL NEED IT .
DONALD "DUMP" TRUMP IS NOT IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS WE ARE .
TRUMP IS A RICH MAN WHO IS A REALITY TV STAR WHO LIVES IN A FANTASY WORLD .
TELL THE TRUTH - WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE IN A WORLD WITH DUMP CALLING THE SHOTS .
TRUMP IS ALREADY PLANNING A THIRD PARTY RUN IF THE REPUBLICANS DON'T CHOOSE HIM .
HIL-LIE-REE AND DUMP ARE IN THIS TOGETHER . THEY KNOW THAT EVEN IF THE REPUBLICANS CAN FIND A CANDIDATE THAT IS NOT A CLOWN, THAT A THIRD PARTY WOULD DRAIN VOTES FROM CLINTON'S OPPONENT
WHAT HAS HIL-LIE-REE PROMISED DUMP IN THIS DEAL ?
SECRETARY OF STATE ?
WHAT A REVOLTING SICK JOKE THESE TWO ARE !
I HOPE AND PRAY WE CAN DO BETTER .
****** LOVE Y'ALL CATCH YOU LATER

JUST BEEN THINKING
*** WHO IS THE BETTER COACH ?
NICK SABAN OR URBAN MEYER ?
BOTH HAVE WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT TWO SCHOOLS .
MEYER AT FLORIDA & OHIO STATE
SABAN AT LSU & ALABAMA
SABAN HAS WON 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS WHILE MEYER HAS WON 3 .
OVERALL NICK HAS WON 75% OF HIS GAMES AND IS 9 - 1 IN CONFERENCE OR NATIONAL TITLE GAMES . SABAN'S BOWL RECORD IS 8 - 8
MEYER HAS WON 85% OF HIS GAMES AND IS 8 - 2 IN BOWL GAMES .
SABAN HAS WON BIG AT TWO OF HIS FOUR COACHING GIGS .
MEYER HAS WON BIG AT ALL FOUR OF HIS COACHING STOPS .
NICK IS 63 URBAN IS 51
FROM WHAT I KNOW BOTH ARE REALLY BIG TIME TURDS .
WHO IS THE BETTER ? YOU TELL ME !
*** TALKING A LITTLE FOOTBALL
YOU GO TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME , THERE IS A 90 % CHANCE YOU WILL BE WATCHING A SHOTGUN SPREAD OFFENSE .
HIGH SCHOOL COACHES MUST BELIEVE IT IS A RULE THAT YOU MUST RUN THE SHOTGUN SPREAD .
THE SPREAD IS GREAT IF YOU HAVE TYPE OF PLAYERS NECESSARY FOR THE OFFENSE .
UNLESS YOU HAVE A DUAL THREAT QB AND RECEIVERS WHO CAN BEAT ONE ON ONE COVERAGE, YOU BETTER BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
TRY A WISHBONE WITH TWO SPLIT ENDS .
ALL YOU NEED IS A GOOD -RUNNING QB .
YOU CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT , & WORK THE CLOCK &CONTROL FIELD POSITION .
YOU ALSO FORCE THE DEFENSE TO PLAY ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL . YOU CAN GET THE MATCH-UPS THAT BEST WORK FOR YOU .
BUM PHILLIPS ONCE TOLD ME " DO WHAT YOUR PLAYERS CAN DO"
*** BLACK LIVES MATTER WHITE LIVES MATTERS
WHAT ALSO MATTERS IS - DON'T DO THINGS THAT CAUSE RUN-INS WITH THE LAW !
*** SO LONG FROM ME AND MY FRIEND BILLY CLYDE .

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** 43 YEARS AGO I MARRIED CHILI- PEPPER . OTHER THAN HEARING THE CALL OF JESUS, THE DECISION TO MARRY CHILI PEPPER HAS BEEN THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME .
THROUGH 43 YEARS OF LIFE ,BOTH SUNNY DAYS AND STORMY TIMES SHE HAS BEEN THE ANCHOR OF MY LIFE.
DURING OUR TIME WE LIVED IN 3 STATES ,BOUGHT & SOLD 4 HOUSES , NUMEROUS CARS , RAISED A WONDERFUL SON ALL WITH LITTLE HELP FROM ME .
JESUS PAID IT ALL - CHILI PEPPER DID IT ALL .
SHE FILLED THE DIFFICULT ROLE OF A COACH'S WIFE ,MAKING A HOME IN 12 DIFFERENT HOUSES TEN IN THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS .
CHILI PEPPER WAS ALWAYS A ROCK IN TIMES OF STRESS.
THE LORD WALKED US THROUGH FOUR MAJOR MEDICAL EVENTS . THREE FOR ME ,ONE FOR CHILI PEPPER .
DURING THOSE LONG HOSPITAL STAYS , SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE .
DURING 43 YEARS SHE HAS BEEN THE BEST PARTNER ANYONE COULD HAVE .
EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED CHILI PEPPER GETS ALL CREDIT .
FOR 43 YEARS IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
I HOPE WE HAVE MORE YEARS TOGETHER .
THANK YOU CHILI PEPPER !

THERE YOU HAVE IT .WRITE YOUR PICKS DOWN & SEE HOW YOU DO
*** FIRST DAY OF FOOTBALL AND ALREADY PLAYERS ARE OVER-HEATING & BEING HAULED TO THE HOSPITAL .
WHY ? THE SEASON IS TOO LONG . DUE TO TOO MANY PLAYOFF GAMES .
IT TAKES FIVE GAMES TO WIN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP . THAT IS ANOTHER HALF-SEASON .
THAT MANY PLAYOFF GAMES MEANS YOU START GAMES IN MID AUGUST AND FINISH IN MID DECEMBER .
IT IS TOO HOT WHEN YOU START AND TOO COLD WHEN YOU FINISH .
SIMPLE SOLUTION - REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TEAMS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS .
MANY TEAMS WITH LOSING RECORDS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS .
THE ONLY REASON FOR THESE PLAYOFF GAMES IS TO MAKE MONEY .
BUT DUE TO POOR MATCH-UPS AND LONG TRAVEL COSTS THESE GAMES ARE BEGINNING TO LOSE MONEY .
THE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE QUICKLY WITH A KICKS IN THE POCKETBOOK .

BOOK REPORT
*** YOU KNOW I READ A LOT . HERE IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF SOME OF MY RECENT READS
1. HELLHOUNDS ON HIS TRAIL
THE STORY OF THE PURSUIT OF JAMES EARL RAY . I AM CONVINCED THAT RAY KILLED MLK BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS .
SUCH AS MOTIVE , MONEY , & ASSISTANCE .
RAY TOOK MANY SECRETS TO HIS GRAVE .
2. NOT A FAN
THIS ASKES THE QUESTION , ARE YOU A FAN OF JESUS OR ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF JESUS ?
THERE IS A HUGH DIFFERENCE WITH ETERNAL IMPLICATIONS .
A FAN IS AN ENTHUSEASTIC ADMIRER WHILE A FOLLOWER IS A COMMITTED DISCIPLE .
ARE YOU JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE DURING THE GOOD TIMES ?
OR , ARE YOU COMMITTED TO FOLLOW WHEN THE COST ARE HIGH ?
THE BOOK CALLS FOR SELF EXAMINATION TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A FAN OR A FOLLOWER .
3. JOE & MARILYN
THE STORY OF THE TROUBLED RELATIONSHIP OF JOE DIMAGGIO & MARILYN MONORE .
TWO SUPERSTARS TRY TO DEAL WITH THIER STARDOM TO MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK .
THEY LASTED NINE MONTHS BUT LOVED EACH OTHER UNTIL DEATH STILLED THIER HEARTS .
4. WHO IS THIS MAN ?
AN EXAMINATION OF JESUS DISPLAYING HOW DIFFERENT JESUS WAS AND IS .
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS WERE RADICAL THEN AND ARE RADICAL TODAY .
IF YOU FOLLOW JESUS ,YOU WILL MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER FAR OUT OF STEP WITH TODAY'S SOCIETY .
UNTIL NOW IN OUR CULTURE THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE COST TO FOLLOW JESUS BUT THAT DAY IS VANISHING .
SOON TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS WILL BE EXPENSIVE INDEED !
5. TWO I WANT TO READ
UNRIVALED - DETAILS THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RIVALERY BETWEEN U-CONN & TENNESSEE
HOW TO THINK LIKE A CHAMPION - DEALS WITH THE MIND SET OF WINNERS , HOW TO REACH YOUR BEST

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** TIME TO PART
TSSAA WILL VOTE IN JULY TO DETERMINE IF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL PLAY IN POST-SEASON COMPETITION .
RIGHT NOW ABOUT 25 PRIVATE SCHOOLS COMPETE FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP .
THIS SHOULD NOT BE .
PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND SHOULD BE CLASSED APART AT PLAYOFF TIME .
PLAY WHOEVER YOU WISH IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT PLAY YOUR OWN KIND IN THE POST-SEASON .
THE PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE JUST TOO DIFFERENT TO EVER HAVE A LEVEL FIELD .
HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS WOULD MILAN HAVE WON IF NOT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS PLAYING IN THE PUBLIC LEAGUE ?
*** STARTED WITH ADAM & EVE
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS RECRUIT PLAYERS .
THE FIRST CASE OF RECRUITMENT WAS SATAN REELING IN ADAM & EVE IN THE GARDEN .
EVERY SINCE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN PLAYING THERE HAS BEEN RECRUITING .
TOWNS WITH LARGE EMPLOYERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE PARENTS JOBS TO BRING KIDS INTO THIER SCHOOL DISTRICT .
SOMETIMES MINSTERS HAVE BEEN CALLED TO AREA CHURCHES BECAUSE THE SON WAS A PLAYER . EX - STEVE SPURRIOR .
SOMEPLACES A WEALTHY BOOSTER PROVIDES PLAYERS , FACILITES , & EVERYTHING ELSE . EX - BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL .
ON & ON
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS . I THINK A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY SCHOOL THEY WISH .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL WANTS TO LET A PLAYER ATTEND FREE OF CHARGE , THAT IS FINE WITH ME .
IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN CONVINCE PAYING PARENTS THAT THIER KIDS WILL SIT WHILE THE RECRUITS PLAY , MORE POWER TO THEM
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PROGRAMS THEY WANT .
IF A TOWN WANTS TO BE A POWERHOUSE IN FOOTBALL AND IS WILLING TO COMMIT THE RESOURCES TO DO SO - GO FOR IT .
SCHOOLS WILL CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR .
LET PEOPLE CHOOSE SCHOOLS THAT EMPHASIZE THE THINGS THE PEOPLE WANT .WHETER IT BE , ACADEMICS , ARTS , OR ATHLETICS
OPEN ENROLLMENT CAN SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
IT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO SEE THE TSSAA DECISION .
SEE YOU NEXT TIME

OUT OF LUCK
*** I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE NOT POSTED IN A WHILE . BUT MY CABLE TV AND INTERNET HAVE BEEN OUT SINCE JUNE 15TH .
COMCAST REALLY CRAPPED OUT THIS TIME . POORLY POORLY HANDLED THE SITUATION .
I AM CONSIDERING OTHER OPTIONS .
IF NOT FOR MY GENIUS DAUGHTER -IN-LAW IWOULD HAVE HAD NO TV AT ALL .
AS IT WAS IT WAS REALLY BAD. IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WITH 200 CHANNELS WHAT IS YOUR CHANCE WITH 20 CHANNELS ?
ONCE AGAIN MY LOVE TO READ CAME TO THE RESCUE .I WAS ABLE TO READ A LOT WHICH PREVENTED ME FROM GOING COMPLETELY BAT - DOO .
BUT THINGS ARE WORKING NOW & LET'S HOPE FOR THE BEST
*** FUNNY HOW YOUR MIND PLAYS TRICKS ON YOU .
TODAY I VISTED THE MEDINA GYM WHERE WE USED TO PLAY BASKETBALL .
IN MY MIND THE SEATS REACHED TO THE SKY , A COUPLE OF THOUSAND FANS YELLING FOR THE HORNETS . I COULD SHUT MY EYES AND SEE JOE -MAC , BIG JUNIOR , DINGLE & THE REST OF THE HORNETS SNATCHING REBOUNDS & SINKING SHOTS.
BUT IT WAS ONLY A VAPOR .
AS I LOOKED AROUND THE PLACE WAS TINY . I BET THE BLEACHERS DIDN'T GO TEN HIGH .
IF YOU PACKED THE CROWD IN BUTT TO BUTT YOU MIGHT GET 400 MAYBE .
JOE-MAC & BIG JUNIOR ARE PLAYING IN THE JESUS' LEAUGE NOW . DINGLE AND THE REST OF THE HORNETS ARE DRAWING SOCIAL SECURITY & HAVE MEDICARE CARDS NOW .
THOSE MEMORIES ARE SO STRONG AND SO REAL THERE HAS TO BE A MISTAKE .
*** SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A FOR SALE SIGN WAS A JAGUAR
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE BUT THINGS NEVER WORKED OUT . THIS ONE WOULD BE A BIT OVERPRICED BUT POSSIBLE .
PROBLEM IS I AM NOT SURE I CAN GET INTO A JAGUAR ANYMORE .
THAT IS ANOTHER RIDDLE OF LIFE ; YOUR OPPORTUNITIES & TIMING NEVER SEEM TO SYNC UP .

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** 1 PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE HIT WITH AN INFLUX OF TEACHERS AS NEVER BEFORE .
ALL THE MASTER TEACHERS BEYOND THE REACH OF THE PRIVATES ARE GOING TO BE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR .
WHY ? THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS HAVE LONG HAD BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS BUT THE PUBLICS PAID MORE MONEY, MUCH MORE!
NOW PUBLIC SYSTEMS HAVE STOPPED PAYING FOR ADVANCED DEGREES , CUT OUT STEP RAISES , & GREATLY REDUCED BENEFITS SUCH AS INSURANCE .
THESE CHANGES PLUS AN OPRESSIVE EVALUATION METHOD HAVE SENT TEACHERS RUNNING FOR THE DOOR . ALL OVER THE STATE OF TENNESSEE .
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW LAWMAKERS ARE DESTROYING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM .
*** 2. WHILE THE ACESS TO TEACHERS IS GREATER , PRIVATE SCHOOL ENROLLMENTS ARE FALLING .
MOST PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE MEMPHIS AREA ARE REPORTING A DROP IN ENROLLMENT .
DECREASING NUMBERS CAN BE THE DEATH OF A SCHOOL
WHY ARE THE NUMBERS FALLING ALL OVER THE PRIVATE SCHOOL WORLD ?
PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE UNDER-CUTTING THE PRICE .
PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE ALLOWING OUT OF DISTRICT STUDENTS TO ATTEND IF THEY PAY A TUITION .
THE COST IS 50 - 70 % LESS THAN THE PRIVATE SCHOOL .
SINCE THE STATE KICKS IN AN AMOUNT PER STUDENT THE PUBLIC SYSTEMS ARE MAKING OUT LIKE BANDITS .
IN HARD TIMES TELL A DUDE HE CAN GET THE SAME OR BETTER PRODUCT FOR A DOLLAR OR DOLLAR- FIFTY WHEN HE HAS BEEN SHELLING OUT THREE BUCKS
NOT MUCH DECISION .
*** 3. I HAD A SCHOOL TELL ME THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THIER NEW COACH AS MUCH AS THE LAST COACH .
THE OLD COACH LEFT FOR A NEW JOB & THE OFFICE BOYS SAW A CHANCE TO CUT EXPENSES .
THE NEW BOY MIGHT MAKE 2/3 WHAT THE FORMER COACH MADE .
WHEN THE ENROLLMENT DROPS YOU HAVE TO REDUCE SOMEWHERE
***4. WRESTLING LOST THE BEST MIC- MAN EVER .THE MASTER OF THE INTERVIEW DUSTY RHODES PASSED AWAY .

OLD MEMORIES
*** MURDER IN A SMALL COMMUNITY
IT HAS BEEN ALMOST FIFTY YEARS .
SHE WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD & A BASKETBALL STAR AT HER TINY HIGH SCHOOL .
SHE DIDN'T LIVE IN A TOWN JUST A COMMUNITY .
A COMMUNITY IS A FEW SCATTERED HOUSES AND MAYBE A STORE .
IT WAS JUST HER AND HER MOM TRYING TO MAKE IT
O'YES ,THERE WAS A HIRED MAN WHO LIVED ON THE PLACE IN A SMALL HOUSE BEHIND THE MAIN HOUSE .
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THAT DECEMBER NIGHT .
ONLY ONE LIVED THROUGH THAT NIGHT & DID NOT DO MUCH TALKING .
THERE WERE TALES OF ROMANCE BUT NO ONE CAN SAY FOR SURE . WE CAN ONLY GUESS .
THE FACTS WE KNOW ARE , THE YOUNG STAR PLAYED IN AN AWAY BASKETBALL GAME . MOM AND THE HIRED MAN ATTENDED THE GAME .
AFTER THE GAME THE YOUNG STAR CHOSE TO RIDE THE BUS HOME RATHER THAN RIDE BACK WITH MOM AND THE HIRED MAN .
WHY THAT WAS A PROBLEM I DON'T KNOW .
BUT WHEN THE GROUP ARRIVED AT HOME .AN ARGUMENT ENSUED .
THE FINAL RESULT ,THE HIRED MAN SHOTGUNNED MOM AND DAUGHTER TO DEATH .
WHY IN THE WORLD ? WE WILL NEVER KNOW .
TWO LIVES ENDED . A YOUNG STAR DIMMED FOREVER
THE HIRED MAN DIED IN PRISON WHICH WAS FITTING BECAUSE IT WASN'T HIS FIRST REDEO
MOM AND DAUGHTER REST TOGETHER IN THE LONELY COMMUNITY CEMETERY.

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW THE STORY ENDS!!!!!!

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** THINK AGAIN
THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT CLOSING THE SOUTH BRIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER .
THEY WANT TO CLOSE THE BRIDGE FOR NINE MONTHS IN 2017 TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS .
MAYBE THEY NEED TO THINK AGAIN .
PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE CLOSURE WILL ADD ONE TO TWO HOURS TO THIER COMMUTE .
CONCERNS ARE THE NORTH BRIDGE CAN NOT HANDLE ALL THE TRAFFIC . A GOOD POINT
BUT MY CONCERN IS - YOU KNOW THAT IN NINE MONTHS THREE WILL BE AT LEAST THREE MISHAPS THAT CLOSE THE BRIDGE .
THEN THERE WILL BE NO WAY TO CROSS THE RIVER .
WILL TRAFFIC BE DIVERTED TO DYERSBURG OR HELENA ? WHAT A MESS !
BETTER RETHINK THIS ONE BEFORE HAND .
*** ALL THE SAME
ON OUR RECENT TRAVELS I WAS STRUCK BY A BOLDT OF ENLIGHTMENT .
NOT IN THE DEGREE OF SAUL ON THE DAMASCUS ROAD BUT AN EPIPHANY NON- THE -LESS
THE SMALL TOWNS HAD LOST THIER IDENTITY . THERE WAS NOTING DISTINCT ANYMORE .
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWEETWATER OR MEDINA OR HUNTSVILLE .
EVERY THING WAS THE SAME . THE SAME STORES ,MERCHANTS , VENDORS ALL LINED UP . YOU COULD GET THE SAME PRODUCTS EVERYWHERE .
FOR EXAMPLE - EATING LUNCH
IN THE PAST IN MILAN YOU HAD PAPPY'S
MEDINA - HANDY HOUSE
DYER - TOOT-N-TELL IT
TRENTON - FROSTY'S
AND ON AND ON
NOW WHEN YOU ROLL INTO A SMALL TOWN IT IS ALL THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE .
MCDONALD'S - BURGER KING - SUBWAY - SONIC - YOU NAME IT .
IT IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE
SWEETWATER TENNESSEE OR TEXAS OR ALABAMA OR CALIFORNIA .
IT IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE . THE SMALL TOWNS HAVE LOST THIER CHARACTER
WE HAVE BEEN NATIONALIZED !
*** BOOK REPORT
A VERY VERY GOOD ONE, IS IN CHRIST ALONE BY SINCLAIRE FERGUSON
THE BONE TREE BY GREG ILES

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*****MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
LONG TIME AGO AT MEDINA TWO BIG BOYS KNOWN FOR BULLYING LOCKED UP ON THE PLAYGROUND .
THE SMALLER KIDS WATCHED WITH GLEE AS THE TWO BUTT-HEADS BEAT THE SHINOLA OUT OF EACH OTHER .
NEITHER OF THE TWO WAS A FRIEND OF THE LITTLE GUY SO IT DID NOT MATTER . JUST ONE LESS THREAT TO WORRY WITH .
SAME IS TRUE WITH ISIS & IRAQ . NEITHER THE SUNNI OR THE SHIITE ARE FRIENDS OF OURS .
SO WE SHOULD WATCH WHILE THEY KILL EACH OTHER .LAST THING WE NEED TO DO IS GET INVOLVED .
WHEN THE SUNNI VS SHIITE FIGHT IS OVER WE HAVE ONE LESS TO WORRY WITH
FIGHT ON BOYS !!!
**** ON THE ROAD AGAIN
CHILI PEPPER & I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD THE LAST 12 DAYS .
FIRST WEST TO HEBER SPRINGS , THEN WEST TO SWEETWATER, THEN SOUTH TO HUNTSVILLE , FINALLY HOME TO OLIVE BRANCH .
WE STAYED IN A RIVERHOUSE FOR A FAMILY FISHING TRIP . HAD A COOK -OUT REUNION FOR A FOOTBALL TEAM & VISTED OUR THREE WONDERFUL GRANDKIDS .
I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE MY OLD PLAYERS AGAIN . I AM SO PROUD OF THE WAY THEY TURNED OUT . I LOVE THEM LOTS AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR SEASONS IN THE SUN .
**** WAY OF SHAME
THE SCS GOING TO CUT RETIREMENT BENEFITS .
ANYONE WHO SPENDS THIRTY YEARS IN THE SCHOOL BUSINESS MORE THAN DESERVES ANY BENEFIT ONE GETS .
THE SCS SHOULD KEEP THIER PROMISES TO THE OLD GUYS . INSURANCE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT .
I WILL ASSURE YOU SCS WILL NOT FIND TEACHERS IF THEY OFFER NO BENEFITS .
TEACHING IS A HARD JOB . JUST THINK OF HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU HAVE WITH YOUR KIDS , THEN IMAGINE HAVING 150 OF SOMEONE ELSES'.
CATCH YA LATER !!

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** AS YOU WELL KNOW I LOVE TO EAT .
EATING IS ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST PLEASURES FOR ME.
WHEN CHILI PEPPER AND I MOVED TO MISSISSIPPI 5 YEARS AGO , IT WAS A CONCERN.
BUT TIME HAS PASSED & I HAVE FOUND SOME GREAT PLACES IN OLIVE BRANCH & SOUTHAVEN .
A COUPLE OF THINGS STILL REQUIRE THE SHORT RIDE TO MEMPHIS . HERE IS A BRIEF LIST OF HIGHLIGHTS OF AREA EATING .
MEXICAN
JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF MEXICAN PLACES THERE MUST BE MORE MEXICANS IN NORTH MISSISSIPPI THAN IN MEXICO .
THERE ARE 15 OR MORE MEXICAN RESTAURANTS WITHIN 5 MILES OF MY CASA
THE BEST IMO ARE MIS PUEBLO & MARIA'S CANTINA . MARIA'S HAS FRESH FOOD WITH LARGE PORTIONS BUT A TAD PRICEY . MIS IN OLIVE BRANCH IS ALSO FRESH AND AT A GOOD PRICE .
THESE TWO ARE AT THE TOP ON A LONG LIST AVAILABLE .
ITALIAN
LONNIE TANT'S IS THE BEST . THE LASAGNA IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS CHILI PEPPER'S . I ALWAYS HAVE THE TANT -A- RONI .
LONNIE'S IS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT .
BURGERS
TWO REALLY GOOD HOLE -IN-THE WALL BURGER JOINTS ARE WIMPY'S IN SOUTHAVEN & SIDE STREET BURGERS IN OB.
GOOD BURGERS AT A GREAT PRICE ,
CATFISH
I HAVE NOT FOUND A GREAT CATFISH PLACE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINTY
MY BEST BET IS SOUL FISH ON POPLAR AVE OR A LONG DRIVE TO WOLF RIVER CAFE IN ROSSVILLE .
BAR-B-Q
THE ALWAYS RELIABLE CORY'S IS CLOSE TO THE HACIENDA
THESE ARE JUST HIGHLIGHTS . OVERALL THE EATING IS MIGHTY GOOD IN NORTH MISSISSIPPI . EVEN RAG -BALONEY & HOOP CHEESE FROM THE LEWISBURG STORE .

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** 1. I SOLD THE GRIZZLIES SHORT
I DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD PLAY GOLDEN STATE THIS TOUGH .
MEMPHIS & THE WARRIORS ARE TIED AT TWO EACH .
THE GRIZZ MISSED A CHANCE TO GO UP 3 TO 1 LAST NIGHT . THE WARRIORS DELIVERED IN A MUST WIN GAME FOR THEM .
I STILL THINK GOLDEN STATE WINS THE SERIES BUT GOING TO BE MUCH HARDER THAN I THOUGHT .
THAT CURRY LOOKS LIKE THOSE MEDINA HORNETS SHOOTERS OF DAYS GONE BY .
I CAN HEAR J-MACK IN HEAVEN TELLING EVERYBODY MEDINA HAS TO RUN TO WIN . CURRY WOULD FIT RIGHT IN WITH THE FLYING HORNETS .
*** 2. THERE IS A GREAT VIDEO MAKING THE ROUNDS .
IT IS MORGAN FREEMAN DISSING ON THE MEMPHIS CITY COUNCIL ABOUT THIER FREE LUNCH .
JUST GOOGLE MORGAN FREEMAN MEMPHIS CITY COUNCIL . THAT SHOULD GET YOU THERE . GET READY TO LAUGH YOUR TAIL OFF .
THE TRUTH IS YOU LAUGH TO KEEP FROM CRYING WHERE THE COUNCIL IS CONCERNED . HOW THE VOTERS KEEP ELECTING THESE BOZOS IS BEYOND REASON .
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR MEMPHIS UNTIL THERE IS A FRESH START . MEMPHIS MUST HAVE A NEW DIRECTION & NEW DRIVERS TO FIND SUCCESS .
*** 3. EXPERTS SAY WE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO LOOKS LIKE US .
THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT RACE OR SKIN COLOR ONLY . THAT IS A FACTOR .
THEY ARE REFERRING TO THINGS WE HAVE IN COMMON WITH THE CANDIDATE . SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCES IF YOU WILL .
THAT PRETTY MUCH LETS ME OUT . I DON'T THINK I HAVE SHARED MANY IF ANY LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH THE MEN WHO WERE PRESIDENTS .
I HAVE A HARD TIME THINKING A COMMONER LIKE ME HAS SHARED ANYTHING WITH THE ELITE CHILDREN OF PRIVILEGE
THEY DON'T SHARE MY WORRIES OR FEARS . THEY DON'T DREAM MY DREAMS .
TO HAVE A PRESIDENT I CAN IDENTIFY WITH THEY NEED TO FIND A WHITE FRED SANFORD !

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
**** MAYWEATHER VS PACQUINO
IF YOU PAID 100 DOLLARS TO SEE MAY & MANNY YOU GOT DIDDLED .
YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER . MONEY MAY'S FIGHTS DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SLUGGING .
MOSTLY FLOYD FLUTTERS LIKE AN ANGRY BIRD ATTACKING AN INTRUDER .
FLOYD IS ALL DEFENSE & ONLY THROWS ENOUGH PITTY - PAT PUNCHES TO WIN .
MAYWEATHER IS ONE OF THE FEW FIGHTERS THAT CAN RETREAT TO VICTORY .
MAY & MANNY AVERAGED THROWING UNDER 40 PUNCHES PER ROUND . A SLOW PACE INDEED .
THE VEGAS BOYS KNEW THIS SINCE THEY PUT THE OVER/UNDER AT 11.5 ROUNDS .
PACKY HAS NOT SCORED A KO IN A WHILE WHERE-AS IF FLOYD SCORES A KO IT IS AN ACCIDENT .
A MAYWEATHER FIGHT IS LIKE WATCHING A BUTTERFLY & A FAT KID PLAY TAG .
DON'T THINK IT IS WORTH A C-NOTE
**** MEMPHIS VS GOLDEN STATE
I THINK MEMPHIS HAS ABOUT A 20% CHANCE TO BEAT THE WARRIORS . LESS IF CONLEY CAN'T GO .
THE CONTRAST IN STYLE OF PLAY MAKES THE SERIES WORTH WATCHING .
GOLDEN STATE PLAYS A OPEN POST ,3-POINT BOMBS AWAY ATTACK AS OPPOSED TO THE MEMPHIS GRIT & GRIND STYLE .
THE GRIZ TRY TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH THE BEST PAIR OF BIG MEN IN THE NBA .
Z - BO & BIG SPAIN ARE BOTH GREAT OFFENSIVE PLAYERS WHILE CURRY & COMPANY CAN LIGHT IT UP FROM THE NEXT ZIP CODE
I AM GOING WITH THE WARRIORS IN FIVE -- SIX IF MEMPHIS IS LUCKY .
**** TIGER TROUBLES
TIGER WOODS & LATEST SWEETIE LINDSAY VONN HAVE CALLED IT QUITS .
WILL THIS HURT TIGER'S GOLF GAME ? NOT A BIT .
WOODS COULDN'T PLAY WORSE . ONCE A LOCK TO WIN THE MOST MAJORS TIGER HAS NOT WON IN YEARS .
IN FACT , I HAVE WON AS MANY MAJORS AS TIGER IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS .
THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL BE THE NEXT HOT BLOND IN TIGERLAND .

*** 1. ABC
ANYBODY BUT CLINTON !
I AM OPPOSED TO HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT . A WOMAN IS FINE ,JUST NOT THAT WOMAN .
WHAT'S MY PROBLEM WITH HILLARY ? FIRST THING, HRC & THE TRUTH ARE COMPLETE STRANGERS .
THE LIES HILLARY HAS TOLD . STARTING WITH HOW SHE WAS NAMED, WOULD FILL A LIBRARY .
SHE LIED ABOUT FLYING INTO ENEMY FIRE ON THE TARMAC , WHERE HER GRANDPARENTS CAME FROM ,& ABOUT CATTLE TRADING AMONG EVERY THING ELSE .
IT IS EASIER TO COUNT THE TRUTHS HILLARY HAS TOLD THAN TO NUMBER THE LIES SHE HAS TOLD .
SHE SAID THEY WERE BROKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE , THAT SHE PLAYED FAIR WITH HER E-MAIL .
HOW ABOUT BENGHAZI ?
HILLARY IS OUT FOR HILLARY ONLY . SHE IS A POWER-DRUNK GREEDY PERSON .
BOTTOM LINE - HILLARY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED !!!
***2. NOT HIM EITHER
I DON'T WANT JEB BUSH . I AM BUSHED OUT . THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT IS NOT A CROWN TO BE EXCHANGED BETWEEN TWO FAMILIES .
JEB IS PROBABLY THE BEST OF BUSH BUT NO MORE .
NO MORE BUSH , NO MORE CLINTON
NOT JEN ,BARB , CHELESEA , NEIL , OR THE BROTHER I CAN'T THINK OF .
THESE TWO FAMILIES NEED TO JUST GO AWAY .
*** 3. TELL IT LIKE IT IS
AARON NEVILE MUST BE WORKING FOR THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL . THE CA HAD A GREAT ANALYSIS OF THE MEMPHIS FINANCIAL MESS . BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE SEEN .
TOLD HOW ANNEXATION , POPULATION LOSS , & DEBT HAVE PUT MEMPHIS IN A DEEP HOLE .
CAN THE BLUFF CITY ESCAPE OR HAS MEMPHIS BLUFFED OUT ?

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
*** 1. A GREAT MAN
LAST WEEK I ATTENDED AN AWARD PRESENTATION .
RAYFORD COLLINS RECIEVED THE FIRST LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD GIVEN BY THE JACKSON - MADISON COUNTY HALL OF FAME .
RAYFORD WAS THE COACH OF THE JACKSON BOXING CLUB FOR 55 YEARS .
DURING THAT TIME THE SUCCESS OF THE JBC FIGHTERS WAS PHENOMENAL . NUMEROUS NATIONAL CHAMPS AND MULTIPLE BOXERS RANKED IN THE NATION'S TOP TEN , BROUGHT NATIONAL RECOGNITION TO THE JACKSON BOXING CLUB .
FOR ALL THE SUCCESS RAYFORD 'S BOXERS HAD IN THE RING WHICH WAS MORE THAN PLENTY , IT PALES IN COMPARISON WITH THE LIVES HE CHANGED .
RAYFORD COLLINS CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF MANY LIVES HEADING THE WRONG WAY . THE VALUE OF THE LIVES THAT RAYFORD INFLUENCED IS BEYOND COUNTING .
COUNTLESS YOUNG MEN USED THE LESSONS OF LIFE LEARNED FROM COACH COLLINS TO REACH SUCCESS IN THIER CHOSEN FIELDS
THIS WAS MOST TRUE IN MY LIFE . AS IN MANY OTHERS
HERE IS TO COACH RAYFORD COLLINS , A MAN WHOSE INFLUENCE WILL CARRY ON FOR GENERATIONS THROUGH THE LIVES OF THE ONES HE CHANGED .
THANKS COACH WE LOVE YOU .
*** 2. A BAD END
FOUR OR MORE TIMES IN RECENT WEEKS WE HAVE SEEN GANGS OF YOUNG PEOPLE ATTACK ALL TYPES OF FOLKS FOR NO REASON .
LARGE NUMBERS OF THUGS ARE PUNCHING , KICKING ,& THROWING OBJECTS AT INNOCENT PEOPLE DOING PHYISCAL HARM . EVEN ATTACKING CARS .
LET ME TELL YOU HOW THIS ENDS .
SOONER OR LATER THE YOUNG THUGS ARE GOING TO PICK THE WRONG VICTIM .
THE VICTIM IS GOING TO OPEN UP WITH GUNFIRE AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DEAD KIDS .
IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME . TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE SCARED AND A LOT OF FOLKS CARRY GUNS SO IT IS COMING .
CAN WE STOP THIS ? I DON'T KNOW HOW
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ? LARGE NUMBERS OF YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING LIVES WITH NO HOPE .
HOW CAN WE PROVIDE HOPE TO THOSE IN A MISERABLE LIFE ? I DON'T KNOW
IT IS HARD FOR A SOCIETY TO SURVIVE A HUGH INCOME GAP .
BUT THE RICH GET RICHER & THE POOR GET POORER SEEMS TO BE THE NATURAL PROGRESSION OF A CULTURE .
BACK TO THE POINT - THERE IS A TRAGIC EVENT COMING I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE LONG .

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
***1. DUKE DOES IT
THOSE BLUE DEVILS BEAT THE BADGERS . I WAS PULLING FOR THE BIG RED .
DUKE DID NOT DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO STOP BIG FRANK . I THOUGHT THE BADGERS SHOULD HAVE GONE TO FRANK MORE THAN THEY DID .
THE MAJOR FACTOR WAS THAT SAM DEEKER DID NOT HAVE A GOOD GAME . BIG FRANK COULD NOT OVERCOME SAM'S OFF NIGHT .
DUKE IS A GREAT PROGRAM YEAR AFTER YEAR .
***2. UCONN AGAIN & AGAIN
THE LADY HUSKIES WON THIER THIRD STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP & TENTH OVERALL . NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN UCONN .
GENO AURIEMMA HAS WON AS MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS AS JOHN WOODEN & WILL PASS COACH WOODEN IF HE COACHES 4 OR 5 MORE YEARS . GENO IS 61 YEARS OLD .
UCONN PLAYED AS POORLY AS I CAN REMEMBER BUT STILL OVERCAME THE FIGHTING IRISH .
WHY IS IT THAT ALL YOUR PLAYERS HAVE AN OFF NIGHT AT THE SAME TIME .
***3. CAL IS NOT MY PAL
I AM MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON JOHN CALIPARI . I DID REFER TO CAL AS THE LITTLE LIZARD DURING HIS MEMPHIS YEARS . BUT I DON'T HATE CAL LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS .
I FEEL CAL'S PAIN . TO HAVE THAT GREAT A TEAM & HAVE JUST ONE STUMBLE THAT COST SO MUCH .
CAL HAS TO THINK - WHAT MORE CAN I DO .
***4. GO JOSH GO
JEFF CAPEL HAS DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE ARIZONA STATE JOB .
THIS COULD BE AN OPEN DOOR FOR PASTNER TO ESCAPE THE MEMPHIS HOT SEAT .
IF JOSH STAYS AT MEMPHIS THIS UP-COMING YEAR WILL BE A ROPE YEAR .
THAT MEANS JOSH IS AT THE END OF HIS ROPE AND MUST HAVE A BIG YEAR TO KEEP HIS JOB .
JOSH NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT A RUN TO THE BORDER TO STAY AHEAD OF THE POSSE .
LATER GATOR!!
THOSE BLUE DEVILS BEAT THE BADGERS . I WAS PULLING FOR THE BIG RED .
DUKE DID NOT DO ANYTHING SPECIAL TO STOP BIG FRANK . I THOUGHT THE BADGERS SHOULD HAVE GONE TO FRANK MORE THAN THEY DID .
THE MAJOR FACTOR WAS THAT SAM DEEKER DID NOT HAVE A GOOD GAME . BIG FRANK COULD NOT OVERCOME SAM'S OFF NIGHT .
DUKE IS A GREAT PROGRAM YEAR AFTER YEAR .
***2. UCONN AGAIN & AGAIN
THE LADY HUSKIES WON THIER THIRD STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP & TENTH OVERALL . NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN UCONN .
GENO AURIEMMA HAS WON AS MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS AS JOHN WOODEN & WILL PASS COACH WOODEN IF HE COACHES 4 OR 5 MORE YEARS . GENO IS 61 YEARS OLD .
UCONN PLAYED AS POORLY AS I CAN REMEMBER BUT STILL OVERCAME THE FIGHTING IRISH .
WHY IS IT THAT ALL YOUR PLAYERS HAVE AN OFF NIGHT AT THE SAME TIME .
***3. CAL IS NOT MY PAL
I AM MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON JOHN CALIPARI . I DID REFER TO CAL AS THE LITTLE LIZARD DURING HIS MEMPHIS YEARS . BUT I DON'T HATE CAL LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS .
I FEEL CAL'S PAIN . TO HAVE THAT GREAT A TEAM & HAVE JUST ONE STUMBLE THAT COST SO MUCH .
CAL HAS TO THINK - WHAT MORE CAN I DO .
***4. GO JOSH GO
JEFF CAPEL HAS DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE ARIZONA STATE JOB .
THIS COULD BE AN OPEN DOOR FOR PASTNER TO ESCAPE THE MEMPHIS HOT SEAT .
IF JOSH STAYS AT MEMPHIS THIS UP-COMING YEAR WILL BE A ROPE YEAR .
THAT MEANS JOSH IS AT THE END OF HIS ROPE AND MUST HAVE A BIG YEAR TO KEEP HIS JOB .
JOSH NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT A RUN TO THE BORDER TO STAY AHEAD OF THE POSSE .

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
*** NO CINDERELLAS ALLOWED - THE NCAA IS NOT A WELCOME SPOT FOR CINDERELLA
IN THE LAST 30 YEARS ONLY FOUR TIMES HAS A TEAM SEEDED HIGHER THAN THIRD HAS WON THE BIG DANCE
WE HAVE A CINDERELLA THIS YEAR ALL BE IT AN UGLY ONE .
THE # SEVEN MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS ARE STILL DANCING WITH MAJIC JOHNSON ALONG FOR THE RIDE
I HAD RATHER HAVE ASHLEY JUDD RIDING ON MY TRAIN .
I DON'T THINK THIS YEARS CINDY WILL WIN THE DANCE
LOOK FOR ONE OF THE THREE # 1 TEAMS TO PREVAIL .
*** HOW TO PLAY THE LAST FOUR MINUTES
GAME AFTER GAME I WATCH TEAMS BLOW GAMES IN THE FINAL MINUTES .
TO PREVENT THIS YOU MUST DO FOUR THINGS
1. MAKE STOPS ON DEFENSE .
2.MAKE YOUR FREE SHOTS
3.USE AS MUCH OF THE SHOT CLOCK AS POSSIBLE
4. KEEP LOOKING TO SCORE
THESE FACTORS ARE LISTED IN ORDER OF MOST IMPORTANT JUST WATCH THE
GAMES AND SEE HOW A TEAMS FATE IS DETERMINED BY THESE FACTORS .
*** THE BREWER THEORY
ALL RIGHT - GAME TIED 21 SECONDS TO PLAY , KENTUCKY HAS THE BALL .
N.D. DECIDES TO D-UP AND KENTUCKY RUNS THE CLOCK DOWN TO SIX SECONDS THEN DRIVES TO THE HOOP ,DRAWS THE FOUL
KENTUCKY HITS BOTH SHOTS LEAVING THE IRISH WITH 3 SECONDS TO SCORE
IS THIS THE RIGHT MOVE ?
ACCORDING TO MARION BREWER ,A VERY SUCCESSFUL MEMPHIS COACH OF YESTERDAY IT IS NOT .
THE BREWER THEORY SAYS N.D. GAVE THEMSELVES NO CHANCE TO WIN
THE BEST OUTCOME FOR THE IRISH IS OVERTIME
BREWER SAYS TIE GAME N.D. SHOULD HAVE FOULED AT 15 SECONDS , PUT THE CATS ON THE LINE
IF UK MAKES BOTH YOU HAVE THE BALL WITH 15 SECONDS FOR A SHOT TO WIN OR TIE .
IF THE CATS MISS ONE OR BOTH FOUL SHOTS YOUR CHANCES IMPROVE
ANY WAY YOU ARE GIVING YOURSELF A CHANCE TO WIN !
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

THINGS TO KNOW
1. A BOOK TO READ
I JUST FINISHED A GOOD BOOK , THE FIGHTING LITTLE JUDGE .
THIS POWERFUL BOOK IS ABOUT GEORGE WALLACE .
YOU WILL BE STUNNED AT SOME OF THE THINGS PEOPLE DO FOR POWER. MANY OF WALLACE'S DEEDS TROUBLED HIM IN LATER YEARS .
AFTER BEING STRUCK DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN'S BULLET, WALLACE FOUND PEACE IN JESUS .
WALLACE ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS AND SOUGHT TO MAKE AMENS TO THOSE HE WRONGED .
JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THINGS CAN CHANGE ,IN HIS LAST RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA WALLACE GOT 90% OF THE BLACK VOTE.
THIS BOOK IS WORTH READING .
2. NCAA BRACKETTOLOGY
THE BRACKETS ARE NOT TOO FAR OFF THREE # 1"S REMAIN AS DO TWO #2 SEEDS
THE EAST IS THE MOST OUT OF LINE WITH A 3 & 4 &7 & 8 PLAYING . WHOEVER COMES FROM THE EAST WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A CINDERELLA .
SPEAKING OF CINDY THE HIGHEST SEEDED TEAM LEFT IS UCLA . THAT FEELS WEIRD TO SAY .
IN MY YOUTH IT WAS A GIVEN THAT UCLA WOULD WIN THE TOURNAMENT . TRY TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TWELVE YEARS .
CAN YOU NAME THE TWO TEAMS TO BREAK THROUGH ?
TEXAS WESTERN & N.C. STATE . REMEMBER THEM
3. BECOMING A BOGLEHEAD
I HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE WORK OF INVESTOR JOHN BOGLE .
BOGLE SAYS COSTS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS RETURNS .
WHEN YOU CHECK YOUR INVESTMENTS , IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND THE TRUE COST DUE TO HIDDEN FEES AND SUCH .
THE PROSPECTUS , THE ER , & THE TER ARE JUST STARTING POINTS
MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR MAX RETURN AND HOW MUCH YOU ARE REALLY PAYING .
A ONE % COST DIFFERENCE CAN RESULT OF AS MUCH AS 200,OOO OVER A LONG TERM INVESTMENT .
4. FINAL FOUR PICKS
UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT WHO I WANT TO WIN BUT WHO I THINK WILL MAKE IT

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
1. THE WEST IS THE BEST
IN THE LAST 16 YEARS THE MEMPHIS AREA TEAM HAS WON THE STATE AAA TOURNAMENT 14 TIMES .
ONLY MARYVILLE IN 2007 AND BLACKMAN IN 2014 HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BREAK THE MEMPHIS RUN.
THERE IS A GREAT AMOUNT OF BASKETBALL TALENT IN MEMPHIS .EVERY HIGH SCHOOL IN MEMPHIS HAS A SHOT TO WIN THE GOLD BALL .
HAMILITON CONTINUED THE MEMPHIS RUN THIS YEAR . THE SUPER -TALENTED WILDCATS FINISHED WITH A RECORD OF 18 - 15
BUT REMEMBER 12 OF THOSE LOSSES WERE FORFEITS , THE WILDCATS DIDN;T LOSE MANY ON THE FLOOR .
NOW IT IS WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR & SEE WHICH MEMPHIS TEAM WEARS THE CROWN
2. A MERCY KILLING
I AM GLAD THE TIGERS ARE NOT IN THE NIT . MEMPHIS FANS SHOULD NOT SUFFER WATCHING THIS TEAM PLAY AGAIN .
AND TO ASK A FAN TO BUY NIT TICKETS IS CRUEL & UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.
FORGET THIS YEAR TIGER FANS & LOOK FORWARD TO BRIGHTER TIMES . REMEMBER, SCARLETT O'HARA SAYS " TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY"
3. CINDERELLA HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
IF YOU ARE HOPING FOR AN UNDER-DOG TO WIN THE NCAA OR MAKE THE FINAL FOUR , KEEP ON DREAMING.
IN THE LAST 30 YEARS ONLY SEVEN TEAMS WITH A SEED SIX OR MORE HAVE CRASHED THE FINAL FOUR .
KANSAS AT SIX AND VILLANOVA AN EIGHT WERE THE ONLY WINNERS OF THE BIG DANCE .
IN A 64 TEAM TOURNAMENT CINDERELLA HAS TO DANCE 6 TIMES TO WIN AND 4 TO MAKE THE FINAL FOUR . THAT IS TOO MANY UP-SETS TO STRING TOGETHER .
4. HAND IN MY POCKET
I SAW MPD AND MFD IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL . THE POLICE AND FIREMEN WERE QUITTING IN PROTEST OVER CHANGES IN THE PENSION FUNDS .
SEVERAL YEARS AGO AMERICAN BEGAN TO DO AWAY WITH DEFINED BENFIT PENSION PLANS . THIS COMPANY FELT THE DBP'S WERE TO EXPENSIVE .
SO COMPANIES AND CITIES WENT TO A DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN WHICH COST THE COMPANY OR CITY MUCH LESS . BUT THE WORKER GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK .
IF YOU HAVE A DEFINED BENFIT PLAN FIGHT TO KEEP IT !
JUST A TIP FROM MY ECON CLASS AT MIT .
LATER DUDE !

JABS,HOOKS,& CROSSES
**** JAB - SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF TOMMY MURRAY .
MAD DOG MURRAY WAS MY OLD JACKSON BOXING CLUB TEAM-MATE OF SOME 45 YEARS AGO .
MAD DOG WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS FRENETIC STYLE & CROWD PLEASING ACTION .
**** HOOK- JOSH PASTNER RECIEVED THE DREADED VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM AD TOM BOWEN .
BOWEN SAID JOSH IS HIS COACH . THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET THE BOOT .
JOSH IS NOT WINNING ENOUGH GAMES - BOTTOM LINE
MEMPHIS FANS EXPECT A LOT , & FOR 2.6 MILLION THEY SHOULD .
THE ATTENDANCE NUMBERS ARE FALLING , THE MOST DANGEROUS SIGN OF TROUBLE IN THE PROGRAM .
IF NUMBERS CONTINUE TO DIP & THE TIGERS DON'T IMPROVE , LOOK FOR BOWEN TO RETHINK THIS COACH THING .
**** CROSS - THE FOOTBALL TIGERS WIN 10 GAMES & THEY WANT TO RAISE PRICES .
I GUESS THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS .
BUT THEY SURE DIDN'T GIVE REFUNDS THOSE YEARS THEY DIDN'T WIN MANY IF ANY .
LOOKS LIKE THAT BLADE CUTS BOTH WAYS .
**** JAB - PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WEATHER .
THEY SAY IT IS A BAD DAY ,A NASTY DAY , OR A MISERABLE DAY .
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I THINK .
EVERY DAY IS A GREAT DAY NO MATTER THE WEATHER .
EVERY DAY THE LORD GIVES ME IS A WONDERFUL DAY . I HAVE SPENT ENOUGH TIME IN THE HOSPITAL & IN THE CHEMO ROOM THAT THE WEATHER IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME
TODAY IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE
REJOICE IN IT !
Monday, March 2, 2015
JABS,HOOKS,& CROSSES
**** ALMOST OVER
THE NIGHTMARE FOR THE TIGERS IS COMING TO AN END . A TOUGH YEAR FOR MEMPHIS
BUT WILL NEXT YEAR BE ANY BETTER ?
A LOT OF BIG BLUE FANS ARE PRAYING THAT JOSH WILL MOVE ON . MANY ARE WISHING FOR A BUY - OUT .
IF YOU EVER GET THE LABEL OF UNDER -PERFORMER IT IS VERY HARD TO RALLY BACK .
JOSH DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF GREAT PLAYERS THIS YEAR . BUT THEN, JOSH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE PLAYERS .
THERE COULD BE SOME SAD DAYS TO COME IN TIGERLAND . WATCH THOSE TICKET SALES AS A SURE INDICATION OF THINGS TO COME.
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR FOR THE TIGERS MAY BE A LONG WAY OFF .
**** WAY TO GO !
A BIG CHEER FOR THE LEWISBERG GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM . THE LADY PATRIOTS MADE IT TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT . UNBELIEVABLE !!!
LEWISBERG IS LIVING THE HOOSIERS STORY IN REAL LIFE .
THE PATRIOTS HAVE PLAYED THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES AND JUST KEPT ON KEEPING ON . JUST WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE A LOTTA PAIN - NO GAIN THE SHIP CAME IN .
MY NIECE LINDSAY IS ONE OF THE COACHES . IT IS WONDERFUL FOR THE COACHES AND PLAYERS TO HAVE THIS STORYBOOK ENDING .
SINCE WE ARE RE-DOOING HOOSIERS I GUESS YOU CAN CALL ME UNCLE SHOOTER !
**** OWN THE ZONE
WHY CAN SOME TEAMS PLAY ZONE AND OTHER TEAMS NOT .
SOME TEAMS CAN SMOTHER YOU WITH A ZONE WHILE OTHERS STAND AROUND WITH THIER HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE A STICK-UP AT THE 7-11.
SIMPLE ! THE COACH HAS TO BELIEVE IN THE DEFENSE .
SOME COACHES DO NOT BELIEVE IN ZONE THEREFORE THEY CAN'T COACH THE DEFENSE . THIER DOUBT SEEPS INTO THE PLAYERS WHO BECOME PASSIVE .
THE BEST DEFENSE FOR YOU IS THE ONE YOUR PLAYERS CAN DO BEST .
IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES WE WERE A VERY GOOD MAN TO MAN TEAM BUT THE PLAYERS WHO REPLACED THOSE WERE MUCH SLOWER .
SO WE CONVERTED TO ALL ZONE AND WENT 50 - 6 THE NEXT TWO SEASONS .
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOUR PLAYERS DO BEST . DO NOT SEND YOUR EAGLES TO DUCK SCHOOL !
**** SOMETHING TO PONDER
WHY DOESN'T THE CITY OF MEMPHIS PRODUCE AS MANY FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS AS THE AMOUNT OF MALES ?
UNTIL THEN !!

PLAYING TO LOSE
**** DON'T BE SHOCKED
TSSAA OUSTED SYMRNA & RIVERDALE FROM THE BASKETBALL TOURNMENT .
BOTH TEAMS WERE TRYING TO LOSE THE GAME .
THE REASON : TO BE OPPOSITE BLACKMAN IN THE NEXT TOURNMENT .
THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN , JUST NOT AS BLATENT AS THESE TWO .
SOME SEE TRYING TO GET IN THE EASY BRACKETT AS PART OF THE GAME .OTHERS DO NOT .
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS,IS TO MAKE THE TOURNMENT ONE & DONE . YOU LOSE AND YOU ARE OUT .
AS LONG AS MULTIPLE TEAMS ADVANCE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TEAMS JOCKEY-ING FOR POSITION .
TOURNMENTS SHOULD BE WIN OR GO HOME . THERE SHOULD BE NO SECOND CHANGES AT TOURNMENT TIME .
**** TOLD YOU
MEMPHIS FANS ARE UPSET . THE TIGERS ARE ONLY A LONGSHOT TO MAKE THE BIG DANCE .
I BELIEVE MEMPHIS HAS TO WIN THE CONFERENCE TOURNMENT TO GET IN THE SHOW .
SAYING THAT,MEMPHIS IS JUST AN AVERAGE TEAM . JOSH IS JUST AN AVERAGE COACH AT BEST .
THE ONLY THING NOT AVERAGE ABOUT THIS YEARS TIGERS IS THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE TIGER FANS .
THE DEMANDS IN TIGERLAND ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL .
AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE ! JUST CONSIDER THE COST .
THAT BASELINE SEAT I OCCUPIED DURING THE UCONN GAME WOULD COST ME MORE THAN 6K FOR THE SEASON .
WHEN YOU ARE SHELLING OUT THOSE KIND OF DOLLARS YOU DEMAND RESULTS . THE MORE MONEY THE MORE PRESSURE .
**** SPREAD TOO THIN
THE MEMPHIS HIGH SCHOOLS TEAMS DON'T SEEM AS DOMINANT AS USUAL .
THEY ARE STILL THE STRONGEST STATE - WIDE BUT THE GAP IS NOT AS WIDE .
I FEEL THIS IS DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS IN SHELBY COUNTY .
THE GOOD PLAYERS ARE SPREAD OUT RATHER THAN CONCENTRATED ON A FEW TEAMS .
MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD THING . MORE GET TO PLAY AND MEMPHIS - SHELBY COUNTY STILL RULES THE ROOST .
LATER !

SCATTERSHOOTING
**** NO NEWS
STILL NO BREAK IN THE JESSICA CHAMBERS MURDER .
HOW A 19 YEAR OLD GIRL CAN BE BURNED TO DEATH IN A SMALL COMMUNITY & NO ONE KNOW ANYTHING IS A MYSTERY TO ME .
THE REWARD IS NOW OVER 50 THOUSAND WHICH IS MORE THAN MOST OF THESE FOLKS MAKE IN A YEAR . YOU THINK SOMEONE WOULD TALK .
THE SILENCE LETS ME KNOW THAT SOMEONE HAS SOME POWERFUL MOJO IN PANOLA COUNTY .
PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO TALK , THEY COULD BE NEXT .
YOU WOULD THINK 50K WOULD MELT A LOT OF FEAR .
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THE PERPS MAY WALK ON THIS MURDER .
**** COMING BACK
IT LOOKS LIKE 39 YEAR OLD PEYTON MANNING IS COMING BACK TO DENVER FOR 2015 SEASON .
IF I WERE DENVER I DON'T THINK I WOULD CHOOSE THIS PATH .
MANNING IS ONE OF THE TOP QBS - IF NOT THE TOP QB- OF OUR TIME . BUT CAN HE STILL CARRY AN OFFENSE ?
I THINK NOT . DENVER CAN WIN WITH MANNING IF THEY BALANCE THE OFFENSE WITH PEYTON AS A MAJOR PART BUT NOT THE TOTAL FOCUS AS BEFORE .
A STONG RUNNING GAME WITH PLAY ACTION PASSING IS THE ANSWER FOR DENVER .
SUPER BOWL -MAYBE !
**** GOTTA SAY IT
I HAVE SAID FOR YEARS THAT PEYTON MANNING IS THE BEST QB OF OUR TIME .
BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT TOM BRADY HAS PASSED THE P-MAN .
BRADY WINS 4 OF 6 SUPER BOWLS , MARRIES SUPERMODELS , KNOCKS UP TV STARS, & LETS THE AIR OUT OF FOOTBALLS .
I DON'T LIKE BRADY BUT FACTS ARE FACTS . THE FACT IS BRADY IS THE BEST OF OUR TIME .
OH THAT HURT !!
**** AAU JOSH
THERE IS AN ARTICLE ON RANT SPORTS YOU SHOULD READ . DEBUNKING THE JOSH PASTNER MYTH .
IT SAYS JOSH IS AN AAU COACH AND THE TIGERS ARE AN AAU TEAM . THEN THE REASONS WHY ARE DISCUSSED .
A GREAT READ AND PROVOKING !!!
