PLAIN TALK ----- AS ALWAYS

*****
THE CHIEFS MADE A BIG MISTAKE TAKING DONTARI POE #11 IN THE NFL DRAFT . KANSAS CITY PICKED ON POTENTIAL NOT PRODUCTION .

 I HAVE WATCHED POE FOR 6 YEARS . HE GOES FULL SPEED THREE PLAYS & THEN TAKES 5 PLAYS OFF . THAT WON'T GET IT IN THE NFL .

 POE DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD MOTOR IN NFL JARGON . KC IS LOOKING AT POE FOR NOSE TACKLE , I AM NOT SURE DONTARI IS ALL IN ON THAT IDEAL .

I HOPE THE CHIEFS ARE SMART ENOUGH TO BACK - LOAD POE'S DEAL . DON'T GIVE THIS DUDE MUCH CASH UP - FRONT .

 I WOULD HAVE PICKED FLETCHER COX WHO HAS A SOLID PRODUCTION RECORD .

*****
THE GRIZZLIES WERE PLAYING GREAT . I WATCHED THE LAST FEW REGULAR SEASON GAMES &  THE FIRST PLAYOFF GAME . THE GRIZ WERE SMOKING HOT .

FOR THE FIRST 42 MINUTES OF THE PLAYOFF GAME THE GRIZ COULD DO NO WRONG . THEN THE WHEELS CAME OFF  THE WAGON . A 27 POINT LEAD GONE FASTER THAN TWO KEGS AT A FRAT PARTY .

I KNOW IT IS ONLY 1 LOSS IN A BEST OF 7 BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS LOSS CAN HAVE A BAD HANG - OVER EFFECT . THE GIANT WAVE OF BIG - MO THE GRIZ WERE RIDING HAS CRESTED .

CAN MEMPHIS BOUNCE BACK ????

I THINK THE CARLOS ZAMBRANO DEAL HAS KILLED THE CUBS . A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE CUBS SIGNED  CARLOS FOR BIG MONEY LONG TERM .

THEN CARLOS IMPLODED , THE CUBS WERE OUT A LOT OF DOLLARS & ROSTER SPOTS . I LOVE TO WATCH THE CUBS BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE PLAYERS NECESSARY TO WIN IN MLB.

FINAL THOUGHT  - THERE IS NOTHING FINER
                                  THAN TO LIVE IN MEDINA

BEATS ALL

**** I SPEND AN HOUR & A HALF WORKING ON THE YES POST ONLY TO PUSH THE WRONG THING & LOST IT ALL

 I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I WAS HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL PRAISE JESUS . 47 DAYS THIS TIME . I AM SO GLAD TO BE HOME .

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS,CALLS,CARDS, & VISITS. THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME . I COULD NEVER TELL YOU HOW MUCH . 

MY CANCER IS NOT GONE . I AM OUT OF PROBATION YOU MIGHT SAY . THEY ARE GOING TO TRY MY TREATMENTS AS AN OUT PATIENT . PLEASE PRAY THIS WORKS . I NEED NO MORE OF HOSPITALS . 72 DAYS THE FIRST TIME 47 DAYS THIS TIME .

 CANCER IS SO TOUGH . IT KEEPS COMING BACK AGAIN &AGAIN . I AM AFRAID IT CAN COME BACK MORE TIMES THAN I CAN .

**** ON MARCH 15 WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL I WAS REMINDED THAT 42 YEARS AGO I MET ANDY REECE FOR THE MID -SOUTH BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP . THE OMAN ARENA WAS PACKED AS IT HAD BEEN FOR THE TWO PREVIOUS NIGHTS . HALF OF MEDINA WAS THERE . YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM .

 ROBERT ELMER SENTER WAS LEADING THE CHEERING SECTION  PULLING HARD FOR THE MEDINA WRECKING CREW .

 OH , THE DAYS FLY BY . THEY ARE ALL  GONE NOW . ANDY REECE WHO I TANGLED WITH ON CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT GONE AT 56 . HE BECAME A DOCTOR IN A SMALL MISSISSIPPI TOWN . EUGENE HERLONG  ,WHO I HAD TO BEAT TO GET THERE  GONE AT 60 . THE FINAL BELL RANG FOR THE CRAZY CAJUN FROM BASTROP  LOUISIANA.

**** DANCE EVERY DANCE & SING EVERY SONG  .
