Football News and Other Stuff...

It has been a looooong while, football fans. Have I got juice for you. First - yesterday in Pennsylvania, coach Mike Kelly was ARRESTED for some kind of domestic disturbance. Yup, he punched the girlfriend...apparently she hit him first but, hello? You not s'posed to hit WOMEN, Kelly. Anyway, during the day the news broke that Lyle Bauer (Kelly's only protector, 'twas he who hand-picked Kelly as head coach) resigned! Yes, he did. Clever man...he clearly wanted to take the Calgary offer and the way to do it without repercusssions...yup, resign! And so he did...and he will be off to Calgary. As my hubby 'splained to me this morning, Calgary is a far sight closer to Utah than Winnipeg, and since Lyle's wife is from Utah...well, you do the math.

So, flash to yesterday early evening, after reports all day that Coach Kelly would likely be fired, in a way that would not compel the football club to not be bound to honour the remaining year of his two-year contract. Fired he was! But...the Beauty of this Whole Thing is Kelly did it to himself!!! 'Behaviour unbecoming to a professional (and I use the term loosely, ladies & germs) football head coach'...or some such like that. It's perfect! It's so beautiful I could cry...or laugh. Now, everyone's happy...except those few people (I call those people crazy) who actually LIKE Kelly. Yes, the damage was done to the team, to the media and to the fans (ungrateful b*st*rd, yes I DO pay your salary, MIKE!!! a**hole). But in 2010 we'll have a brand new head coach and hopefully a much better football team.

My drinking team has a football problem.

Now, on to other news. Speaking of football...oh, were we? Yes, we were...

Hubby and son A came back from their trip to Dallas with some awesome pictures that I'll post another day, too tired today, been a long week. They toured the stadium on Friday...it is a thing of beauty and unfathomably large. It should be for more than ONE BILLION dollars, football fans. One...billion...dollars Can't even imagine that much money! So - their "screen" (which we in Wpg. call a "Jumbotron") is a $25 million LCD screen that is 8 storeys high and I forget how wide. But, trust me, it's big. So the tour was grand, the game was grand (hubby indifferent to who won, son sad that Dallas DIDN'T WIN and me...well the Chargers won, like we knew they would :-)

The shopping was grand...I love outlet malls and must insist I go along next time :-) and they did a 'fast food' tour, hitting such American staples as 'Popeye's' chicken, 'Lik A Chik' (don't go there-:), Sonic Burger, In 'n Out Burger, etc. They never had salad or veggies...they are men. They also went to a place called 'Rudy's BBQ' and had some awesome BBQ food. This place can only be found in Texas...they drove out into the desert for 50 miles to find it and they were not disappointed. My sister was in San Antonio a few years ago, and brought us back a spice called 'Rudy's Rub' from...Rudy's! It is amazing on steak and other red meat...and we were almost out so of course hubby brot some back. Some for us and some for my friend's hubby whose name just happens to be... Rudy...and he barbeques...so I think he will love it when he opens that shit up on Christmas morning!

And that's really all for today, next time pics & stuff...too tired...

Love & Peace,
