A Departing Son... And One Departed

Published on December 22, 2005 By HC1240 In Sports & Leisure

I attended an awesome game Saturday and got to see the Pats mop the floor with Tampa Bay. It was a great game... but dang! It was COLD!! That's ok... it's all good.

This week, however, has been pretty depressing. First I discovered that Johnny Damon is heading to the *hisssssssssss* Evil Empire. Seriously, I don't harbor any ill will toward him. I understand that baseball is his career and he has to operate within the parameters of what's best for him. Sure will miss him though. Grrrrrrrrrr. Stupid Francona. Can't believe they let him go. But heck... it's gotta be nice to have players from the Yanks calling to woo you. Good luck, Johnny. Just not TOO much.

On the upside, I can't wait to see Damon with a haircut! *s*

On an even sadder note, Tony Dungy's (head coach of the Indianapolis Colts) 18-year-old son James was found dead in his apartment today. The police don't suspect foul play at this point and believe it to be a case of suicide. I can't even imagine the pain this family must be dealing with right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tony. May the God of all comfort be near you in the coming weeks and months.

I watched Damon's press conference today. I wanted to cry just watching... and I think he did too. He seemed to be having a really hard time holding it together. In spite of the extra 12 million dollars, I don't think this was an easy decision for him to make.

Old (60s) TV show called the Saint. Kind of a small Screen James Bond. Roger Moore played Simon Templar aka the Saint.

Raiders??? Are you kidding me? That's not real football, doc... that's geriatric therapy!

Hehe. Gonna be a rocky start for '06 for your Raiders, Doc. After the garbage calls from the referee squad to day against the Redskins, the Giants are going to be out for blood ... Raider blood.

All the Raiders want for Christmas is a good head Coach! But at least the Raiders will be at home. Slaughter or not.
