Monday Morning

Dreary in Ohio, no sun, drizzle of rain, not freezing, anyway, but very dreary. Coffee and "Easy Listening" to get the day started.

Super Bowl is over for another year, next year the Bears win it all. Ben will be in "rehab" for his sexual addiction, Charley Sheen will be there too, and will just be in prison for a number of things, watching the game on the prison network.

Wonder what all will happen in the upcoming "off season" of football. And, there may be NO football next season, that is a possibility also. A whole bunch of guys, their talent, they can play football, and thanks to TV they are making millions of dollars a year, so they may go out on strike. I don't think that TV will let it happen, way too much money in advertising revenue to let that happen, unless they can do a bunch of reality shows on "life with no football."

Soon we will have March Madness, then baseball season and then, at least, college football.

A show on the other night talking about how there are fewer kids playing little league football, too many injuries. Most "pro" players WILL NOT let their kids play, they must know something. Main cause of head injuries in LL football, dumb, stupid, un-educated coaches ..... "get in there, kid, hit 'em, knock 'em down, play like a MAN." They estimated the percentage of really knowledgeable LL coaches, about five percent, the rest do not know the proper way to coach.

So, no LL in football, declining numbers of players, may impact college and professional football in years to come. Other sports, "start 'em young, get the fundamentals down." Football, the helmet is for "protection," not a battering ram.

I wonder what this week will bring? More on the "wedding" in England, going in to space while your wife is in physical rehab, looks like a dreary news week, just watch, something will happen. I think that when things settle down in Egypt, they will go to war with Israel, get all those reporters over there, quick.

One more thing I noticed, all the "easy listening" orchestral is music is directed by men, only one woman, Beegie Adair, and I never heard of her. Why do men lead the orchestra and do the arrangements, and the only thing women can do is sing, on "Singers and Swing?"
