I'm Here...Just Busy
I haven't had much time to writer lately but am doing just fine.
I am tired of winter and the return of colder temperatures this week hasn't left me the happiest of campers. But, every day we are one day closer to spring. The Cardinals position players are now in camp and spring training is in full swing. So, see what I mean. Spring is just around the corner.
I will write more this weekend as time permits.

Tigers Beat Jayhawks
It’s been a busy week so this is a little late but…
HOW ‘BOUT THEM TIGERS!!!
The Tigers came from a 14 point halftime deficit to beat the Kansas Jayhawks on Monday night 62-60. Zaire Taylor’s jumper with 1.3 seconds left beat the Lawrence yellow beaks and gave the Tigers their 20th win of the season.
There’s not much more I can write except, MIZ ZOU RAH!!!

Tigers Win in Texas
Mizzou went into Austin this evening and knocked off the 16th ranked Texas Longhorns by a count of 69-65. My beloved Tigers played solid defense all evening and pressured Texas into a number of turnovers. Texas slowed the game down but Mizzou still made big shots at critical times and won despite playing the game at a slow pace.
The Tigers are now 19-4 and 6-2 in conference. Texas falls to 15-6 and 4-3. The win is the Tigers second straight over the Longhorns but first in Austin since 1999.

Sleezy Move by SNL and NBC
Did you see Saturday Night Live this weekend? Well, if you did you saw three skits named "McGruber". The skits are funny and have recurred off and on over the past several years with Will Forte and Kristen Wiig portraying the main characters. They are a takeoff on the old MacGyver series.
The problem this past Saturday night is what appeared to be comedy was in fact paid advertisements by Pepsi. And then on Sunday afternoon one of the "skits" was used in the Super Bowl. The Pepsi Cola ad was named PepsUber. There was no mention by NBC on Saturday night that the skits were really paid commercials.
I have a problem with this. The spots should have been clearly labelled as advertisements by NBC when they aired. I wasn't sure what I was watching when I saw them. At first I thought it was just a satire of all the Super Bowl ads that would air the next day. Then, I thought it might have just been the ever encroaching product placement we see all the time. But, no, in the long run they were just a sleazy move by NBC permitting the lease of an SNL property to PepsiCo. And to add insult to injury, SNL is displaying the advertisements on it's vido page as if they are just sketches from the show. Some low life must be very pleased with themself.

Congratulations to the Steelers
I'm a little tardy in posting this but congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers on their come from behind win over the Arizona Cardinals! I had cheered for the Big Red as I posted on Sunday, and was disappointed the Cardinal defense gave up the final touchdown without much time to play. But, the Steelers made the plays they needed and deserved to win.
The intercepted pass by James Harrison near at the end of the first half was obviously the key to the ballgame. Again, the Steelers made a big play that influenced the outcome of the game.
In my book this is one of the best Super Bowls ever. And, I have seen every one of them starting with the Packers and Chiefs in 1967. (I was in eighth grade). In my book the 2000 Super Bowl (XXXIV) won by the Rams over the Titans is the best ever. That was the game that ended with Michael Jones making "The Tackle" on the Rams one yard line to preserve the victory.

Go Big Red
I will be rooting for the Arizona Cardinals later this afternoon when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why you ask?
Well for starters I spent a number of Sunday afternoons at old Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis before the Big Red departed for the desert in 1988. I hate to admit it, but I still watch them when their games are available locally.
I also am a fan of Kurt Warner, since he was the quarterback in Super Bowls 34 and 36 when St. Louis made it's only appearances in the history of the championship game. St. Louis won in 2000 beating the Tennessee Titans and lost in 2002 to the New England Cheaters, er...Patriots.
Finally the Cardinals are a touchdown underdog and I always like rooting for the little guy. So, GO BIG RED!
