Anybody else freezing their toes off in North Florida? Yeah, It really shouldn’t be this cold in March. But anywho, just thought I’d weigh in on how the NFL scouting combine turned out for the former Gators, and the chances of Billy Donavon’s team getting into the big dance…Last week, the Tebow show moved it’s cameras to Indy and the NFL scouting combine. Tebow did fairly well at the combine, despite not throwing because of his throwing motion and mechanics being under reconstruction…

Typing away at the laptop while taking a lunch break…..
Hard to believe the Winter Olympics are already over; aside from the pre-opening ceremonies tragedy involving the luger from Georgia (Nodar Kumaritashvili) being killed on a training run, Vancouver deserves to be highly commended on a job well done. Based on the fact that the United States and Canada brought in the lion’s share of the total medals as well as staged impressive championship hockey games, albeit with Team USA settling for silver medals in both the men’s and women’s finals, …

Thinking about a few topics concerning all things Florida Gators…
Dan Werner. I think we are all in agreement that Dan Werner is a liability on the court at any given time. Now I’m not one that concentrates too much on basketball.

Football America wrapping up, Countdowns Begin.

The Super Bowl has passed, the ads were aired. Football is over, and the withdrawal symptoms are starting to appear…

Who dat say gonna beat dem Saints? Definitely not the Colts. Drew Brees and the Saints beat Manning’s Colts 31-17 last night in Miami. Brees (32/39 288 yds 2tds) was absolutely clutch with his record-tying 32 completions with a passer rating of 114.5, grabbing the game’s MVP award.(The record ties Tom Brady in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers)….. As we all know Tim Tebow appeared in two ads featuring him and his mother on Super Bowl Sunday. One during the pre-game show and one during the game’s first quarter. After all of the controversy concerning the ads message of anti-abortion, it was obvious that all of the outcries of unfairness and inappropriateness were wasted.

Typing away at the laptop yet again…….
Gang, it’s a little over 15 minutes to the start of the Super Bowl broadcast after all the, um, pre-game “festivities”; I’m anxious for the game to actually get underway and hearing The Who at halftime. I happen to be an aficionado of classic rock, and the last time I was in Hoggetowne I had a CD of theirs playing on my car stereo. (A little trivia: the drummer, Zak Starkey, is former Beatle great Ringo Starr’s oldest son.)
We compiled one awesome recruiting class last …
