full color football: the history of the afl...

An excellent documentary series about the American Football League...

On Showtime...

Greatest moment in AFL history when the New York Jets beat the NFL BaltimoreColts and Broadway Joe predicted it...

what do my father and tiger woods have in common...

They share the same birthday...

Happy Birthday Dad!

piper sonoma select cuvee...

Sparking wine... Brut.

Very quaffable and affordable...

getting hacked...

For the 2nd time my facebook account was hacked...

I would quit the site, but the positives outweigh the negatives...

I sometimes write no holds barred private messages via that site...

an unusual date...

About ten years ago, I flew a young lady from Honolulu to Molokai on a date for the day...

And unbelievably, I had another date with another lady in the evening, but we missed our flight back to HNL, therefore I had to reschedule...

thinking about someone much too much...

I haven't felt this way about a woman for quite some time...

She has dominated my thoughts and has invaded my dreams...

However, I realize this is only temporary and sooner or later, I must come to my senses...

merry christmas...

And I want to thank everyone for reading my blog...

Happy Holidays!

It's fast as hell...

So far, I like it!

3-hour tarmac limit...

In the back of my mind, I've always been a bit apprehensive about flying Jet Blue since the horror story about passengers being stranded 11 hours on the tarmac @ JFK in January 2007. Although, I've only heard great things about the airline...

The government has imposed a 3-hour tarmac limit. I believe it should be 2-hours...

I'm just thankful I haven't been stuck on the tarmac too long in my life...

specialty's cafe & bakery...

The fresh turkey and cheese croissant is amazing!!

It's huge, flaky, and tasty...

And they use real turkey meat, not from a roll...

Okay, the croissant isn't one you'd get in Paris...

However, it's on my top ten list for eats in the City...

peter king...

I read his column in Sports Illustrated, but generally I think he's an idiot... I like Don Banks of SI much more...

I take issue with his criticism of Randy Moss who came back on Sunday to catch a touchdown pass in New England's victory over Buffalo. Moss finished with 5 catches for 70 yards.

King wrote that Moss wasn't getting open. In 14 games, Moss has 74 catches for 1144 yards with 10 TDs. That's more catches and receiving yards than last year when the overrated and now overpaid Matt Cassel was slinging passes to Moss.

My goodness, Randy Moss is still only 32 years old and he has 145 TD receptions. That's #2 on the all-time touchdown receiving list. I believe Moss has 146 TDs total which would tie him with T.O. for 4th on the all-time total touchdown list behind Rice, Emmitt Smith, and LT. Moss is #6 all-time receiving yards with 14,345. Next season, he should be 2nd or 3rd all-time. Only the great Jerry Rice's 22,895 yards seem insurmountable...

King favorite Wes Welker is a great receiver, but he's no Randy Moss. The guy has only 16 TD receptions in his six year career. Moss has had 3 seasons in his career with 16 or more touchdown receptions in a season.

Granted Moss had a bad game last week in which he seemed to quit on the team, but he came roaring back the next game.

If not for his two lost years in Oakland, Randy's overall stats would be out of this world.

Peter King really doesn't know football as much as he thinks he does...

King in his Monday Morning Quarterback in SI sure changed his tune about Moss...

clueless...

I'm saddened by the death of Brittany Murphy who was featured in the film...

I just can't believe the film is nearly 15 years old...

Paul Rudd has turned out to be the breakout star from the movie and I think most people would have thought Alicia Silverstone...

The late Murphy had a more successful film career than Silverstone thus far. Who knows, perhaps Alicia will have a career renaissance- she's still only 32 years old.

mike wallace...

Not the old fuck on 60 Minutes, but the rookie wide receiver for the Steelers out of Ole Miss.

The kid made a hell of a catch and kept his feet inbounds in the end zone from Rothlisberger to win the game with no time left on the clock...

Big Ben threw for over 500 yards against the Packers.

What a day in the NFL!!

raiders 20 broncos 19...

I love it!!!!

The petulant punk kid coach of Denver is getting his just desserts...

JaMarcus Russell comes in to throw the game winning TD!!

Is JaMarcus back, I doubt it, but it was a great moment for the kid!!

kenny g...

He went to Franklin High School, I went to Rainier Beach. He was one year ahead of me...

He was in a band called Tamaraw in high school that was a jazz/funk band that consisted of mostly Asians and a jewish kid named Kenny Gorelick... Some of those Asian brothers went to my high school. And I knew them.

He went to UDub and so did I, we were in the same Japanese language class for one year. I remember him carrying around his sax @ all times...

We had a mutual friend who's name is Karla/Carla Thompson- back in the day she was smoking hot...

My favorite cut from his debut album 1982 is HERE WE ARE...

arizona @ detroit...

What the fuck? I spend so much dough on Comcast Cable and the best the local affiliate KTVU can offer is the Cards vs the Lions- give me a fucking break!

I wish I had Direct TV...

And yes, I realize the Niners game was rescheduled to the afternoon due to weather.

KPIX doesn't show a game this morning and I don't get it? NFL games get better ratings than paid programming. Paid programming must be more profitable than I realize...

dont you worry bout a thingg...

One of my favorite songs from Stevie Wonder's Innervisions album from 1973...

I'm currently watching the film THE DARWIN AWARDS and the song is featured in the film.

The other day a facebook friend of mine asked his friends on the site, which song really moves them. Off the top of my head I chose DONT YOU WORRY BOUT A THINGG...

Doesn't that happen all of the time- you think of something and it appears before your eyes...

dallas lowe...

Check out her interview skills on Naughty Americans. It's a sister site to the porn site Naughty America.

Dallas was in the City during the Lovefest or LovEvolution or whatever the fuck they called the thing a couple of months ago interviewing females about their sexual fantasies. Very interesting...

Ms. Lowe does more than a few funny impressions. I foresee a bright career for Dallas...

headcase milton bradley to the mariners...

There is no doubt troubled Bradley is a talent and I believe he will help the Mariners who have acquired a big time free agent like Chone Figgins and one of the best pitchers in baseball- Cliff Lee.

The Mariners in turn got rid of the big contract of underachieving and corpulent Carlos Silva who I believe was part of the anti-Ichiro brigade during the 2008 season.

I am from Seattle, therefore I am a Mariners fan...

an iphone genius...

A couple of months ago, I brought in an iPhone in for repair @ the Apple Store on Stockton and I was assisted by an attractive iPhone specialist named Lauren. To make a long story short, she replaced my iPhone 3G and I was overjoyed! The next day I subsequently sold the iPhone for amount that I payed for a new 3GS model. Phenomenal!

Anyway, coincidentally Lauren also works @ RN74 and I had met her about a month earlier. I just couldn't place her in her Apple garb as opposed to her RN74 wear...

How fantastic is it to know someone like Lauren who is an iPhone expert and also works @ a very nice wine bar/restaurant in the City...

nick johnson to the yankees...

For a reported one year deal for $5.5M. The Yanks could have had Matsui for $6.5 for one season and he's the reining World Series MVP...

What the fuck is Cashman and the Steinbrenner boys thinking?

I'm happy that the Giants didn't sign the fat fuck Johnson...

Sure, Johnson plays first, but Matsui can play first and I bet he'll be healthy enough to play outfield next season...

I've definitely become less of a Yankees fan in the past week...

chelsea...

She's a member of my club and works as a bartender @ Amber India.

Amber has a great happy hour like most restaurants in this day and age.

There are three very attractive barkeeps who work @ Amber featuring Chelsea.

arkasha ames...

I just encountered a model in the Playboy Cyber Club and her name strikes me as a porn star name...

I usually don't post nude pics, hell recently, I haven't posted any photos with my blog, but today is an exception.

I won't be surprised to see Arkasha Ames in Naughty America in the near future...

arod vs tiger woods...

ARod finally reached the pinnacle of baseball success with a World Series ring last month... I don't believe when or if Rodriguez surpasses Bonds on the all-time homerun list that the record will have the cache since it will be tainted with steroid use.

Other than the 5 major titles Woods has left to surpass Jack Nicklaus, the bland one has been golf's best for over a decade. But I must write that golf is an individual sport as opposed to baseball, a team sport, but not to the same degree as football... I would explain, but that's another post...

ARod was outed several times for philandering and he lost his wife in the process, but he has been linked to several high profile females in the past and taken media hits for it.

Woods has been using his wood on many chicks while married, but his image has been so guarded that every ho he has plowed is coming out of the woodwork to get a piece of the money pie. And he should lose his wife in the process...

I'm not a big fan of Alex, but he has finally proven to be a winner and the guy has been tabloid fodder for years. He's taken his hits on and off the field...

Tiger just bores the hell out of me. I'm fucking tired of reading about him...

ARod just broke up with the very overrated Kate Hudson. And he's trolling for new chicks in Miami- more power to him...

I'm definitely liking Alex better than that dull Woods...

And they both have something in common- steroid or HGH or some kind of performance enhancing drug use...

chris henry...

I was saddened to hear of his death this morning. Yesterday, after reports of Henry suffering life threatening injuries, I was expecting sad news today...

I've followed Henry's career from the beginning and he was one of the most gifted wide receivers I've ever seen.

I was surprised that the Bengals re-signed him after all his off field incidents, but I've come to the realization that owner Mike Brown is a real compassionate man who believes in giving people a second chance and in Henry's case, many chances...

HBO's HARD KNOCKS gave viewers an inside look @ the Cincinnati Bengals and I must admit that I was pulling for Chris Henry to succeed. His forearm injury last month derailed his football career and now his life is over...

It really is sad...

marciana...

I want to give a shout out to her and I hope she has a very Merry Christmas...

muni fast pass will be $70 starting in january...

This is the second increase in six months. It's still a great deal because one can ride the cable car with a fast pass and ride BART within the City.

However, a $25 increase since June is a bit excessive....

tiger woods on steroids...

I don't condone his philandering, but the media has gone hog wild over it.

I truly believe Woods have taken HGH or some other performance enhancing drug.

The bottom line is when you protect your so-called pristine image too much, there is always skeletons in your closet...

jake locker returning to uw for his senior season...

That news made me happier than you'll ever know...

Locker is without a doubt my favorite Husky football player since Sonny Sixkiller and that's going back too many years...

Hopefully, Jake stays healthy and we get a bowl bid next year...

hideki matsui to the angels...

2009 World Series MVP signs with the team that beat my Giants in the 2002 World Series. I fucking hate it!!

Why didn't the San Francisco Giants sign Matsui? I believe the guy can still play outfield...

Hell, Hideki can play first base. If the G-Man sign Nick Johnson I will be very pissed!!

californification...

I'm going to miss this show more than HBO's ENTOURAGE...

David Duchovny is phenomenal in the lead role...

A good friend of mine Diana Terranova was featured in episodes 5 and 6.

Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri played a student/stripper in several episodes.

CALIFORNIFICATION is my favorite show on television...

toby gerhart got robbed...

He should have won the Heisman, not sophomore Mark Ingram from Alabama. Ingram's stats were nowhere near Gerhart's, not even close...

I'm fucking pissed of!!

turner gill...

Kansas did the right thing by hiring Gill to replace that fat fuck Mark Mangino. Gill was a star quarterback @ Nebraska before becoming the head coach @ Buffalo. His familiarity with the Big 12 bodes well for success in Lawrence...

Cocky Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was rumored to be the top contender for the job.

a cold wet day in the city...

What am I doing? Having a steaming hot bowl of soup in Chinatown...

a certain head case...

I hadn't been back to the bar @ my club for over two weeks and lo and behold, a person who took off on me @ RN74 about a month ago was sitting @ the bar. Obviously, I sat @ the other end of the bar to avoid her. She was sitting with a couple who frequent the bar on a regular basis. The head case has a tendency to mooch food and drinks off of people...

Anyway, to my surprise the head case tapped me on the shoulder and apologized to me. It actually shocked me... I accepted her apology and moved on. I didn't want to engage in a conversation with her.

For some reason, I went upstairs to the bar @ the Four Seasons to relax and have a glass of wine. I sat @ a table as opposed to the bar. After a few sips of my wine I looked up toward the bar and the head case is @ the bar talking to a couple of unsuspecting men. I can't get away from the head case...

getting back to blogging...

Man, I've taken too much time off from my blog and that isn't a good thing...

I'll strive to be more consistent and write what's on my mind...

I'm just freezing my ass off in the City right now...

m resort...

A very nice casino in Henderson which is close to 15 which makes it convenient for travelers from LA via automobile before they hit the main strip...
