     Looks like the presidential campaign is heating up.   Obama has released his first attack ad against John McCain.  What's so interesting about this is, that it came out quick , almost the same day if I am not mistaken.   McCain was asked about how many houses he owned and he didn't even know.  It's seven.  I think I would know if I owned seven houses.   I talked to a political professor and he said the way McCain answered the question made him sound as if he was out of touch on,  how rich is rich?

     Soon we will know who they both have picked for the Vice Pres seat.  It will be interesting.  Especially with the talk of Joe Liberman being rumored as a maybe for McCains right hand man.   I really think in this race who they pick is going to be vital and the race could be decided with this one decision.

      I am looking for the best pizza in Austin.   I am taking a poll.  Who do you think has the best pizza in the capital city?    Because I have not found it yet and want to try it. 

Looks like he found it!

     I don't know about you, but I was surprised to see our Texas boy, Jeremy Wariner get smoked last night by LaShawn Merritt in the 400 meter race.   Wariner,  who went to Baylor, was the favorite and won the gold in Athens.  He walked away with the silver medal, but lost by almost a full second, and it was one of those long seconds. He has a pretty impressive record, you should look him up.  That just goes to show, what kind of talent are in these games.

      I have to admitt, I have never seen anyone run as fast I have seen Usain Bolt run in the Olympics.   I have seen people that cocky before though, and to me it is a turn off.   Taking 2 seconds off the 200 meter record is awesome, but what's wrong with this guy?   Being excited, running around and celebrating is one thing, but in each of his wins when he was celebrating; I was saying to myself enough is enough.  I probably was not the only who wanted to change the channel.  It was a little ridiculous.  Okay you're great, but you obviously already think so.

Congratulations Usain!  NOW SEE YOU LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to tell you, I AM GLAD FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!

  I have to say, I wish the Cowboys were playing better, but I remember back in the day, they lost all their pre-season games and still won the Super Bowl, so I will wait to see what they do in the next couple weeks.  The Boys will be in the playoffs.

      Brett Favre had a great game, what can I say.  He played just like Brett Farve.  It's kind of weird to see him in another uniform, but it is really good to see him playing.

   Did anyone see the Browns play the Giants?  In the second quarter the Browns were down 30-3 and then Anderson got hurt.  They put in Brady Quinn and the final score was 37-34 with the Giants winning.   I have to say it was pretty impressive.  Brady Quinn is going to be a really good quarterback if he can stay healthy.  I still say the Browns are going to the playoffs this year.

    And the Bengals re-sign Chris Henry after being fired and after being arrested five time since being with Cinncinati!   Marvin Lewis, SHAME ON YOU!  Let me guss, Jerry Jones didn't want Henry, WHAT A SURPRISE?  Henry has been in jail enough, sounds like a Jones boy to me.

   It's only still pre-season, but I am liking what I see, it looks like it is going to be a great year!!!!

     If you have been watching the Olympic Boxing events, there is no doubt that there is a problem with the judges scoring.  I know there have been punches that should of been scored, but weren't.  There is obviously something wrong with the scoring, but there is also something wrong with some the U.S.A. boxers.  Case in point,  Luis Yanez from Duncanville Texas.  For a boxer to complain that he was ripped off in the fight that he had Saturday with his opponent from Mogolia, is absurd.   Yanez did not throw enough punches to think he landed more punches.  I thought he was cocky and scared.  Just like Teddy Atlas said, "he is only shadow boxing and needs to get in there and land some punches". 

    Get in there, work hard, and stop making excuses.  The excuses made by him and some of the other boxers are more embarassing than their losses and the poor U.S. performance in the Olympic matches.

    I found this on the web and thought it was interesting.  A list of the 20 worst songs.  The funny thing about it is, I like alot of the songs on the list.

      I can not be happier that football season is back.  It is the only sport I need, if it were not for the NFL Network, I would be dead.   It has been a very interesting off season.  Of course with the whole Brett Farve thing.  If were not for Brett, we would of talked about Chad Johnson or Pacman Jones or some player who got arrested a little more.  Hopefully this week we will know what Favre's future holds.   And let's not forget about the draft which will bring in a lot of great young talent.  It looks as if this is going to be another great year, I can't wait!

       I have listed a few predictions, I would not put any real money on any of these, but it would be fun to see how close I am at the end of the year.  Some of these I think I am dead on, some of you might get some laughs.

* The Rams, the Falcon, the Dolphins and the Raiders will have at 6 wins in the regular season.

* The Seahwaks will have a lack luster year and will not be in the playoffs.

* The Packers will not be in the Playoffs.

*The Giants and the Patriot will not return to the Super Bowl.

*The Bills will have 8 or more wins in the regular season.

*The Browns, the Cardnals, and the Texans will be in the playoffs.

* The Chiefs, Broncos,  Bears,  Jets,  Panthers, Niners, Bengals and the Bucs will be in the toilet.

*Coaching jobs that might be in jepordy at the end of the year.  John Fox-Panthers,  Marv Lewis-Bengals,  John Gruden-Bucs,  Mike Nolns-49ers,  and Eric Mangini-Jets.

    If I am close or way off, either way it will be fun to watch what happens.  I will continue to share my opions throughout the season.  Have fun watching your teams.

     If the Packers are moving forward without Brett Favre, they really need to release him to whatever team wants to pick him up.  I think Roger Goodell needs to step in there and make something happen.  I think this getting silly and I am really starting to loose respect for the Packers orginization.

  LET BRETT FAVRE PLAY WHEREVER HE WANTS TO GO!

    Some of you die hard Idol fans may remember Jon Peter Lewis from the third season of American Idol.   He ended up in the top 12 that year, and in my opinion is a lot better than Fantasia Barriono.

   He has a new cd out called "Break The Silence", and it is really, really good.  I suggest that you give it a listen.  I like the whole thing all the way through, and it has been a long time since I have been able to say that about any cd.

   The single is also called "Break the Silence".  It is getting a lot of radio play throughout the nation.  You can request it to be played at your favorite local radio station. 

    I am really impressed with this cd, it has a varitey of songs with catchy lyrics and upbeat tempos.  If you want to listen to something that is worth your time and money, listen to Jon Peter Lewis's "Break The Silence".  You will be gald you did!

      Has anyone noticed this or is it just me?  I have seen alot of trucks in peoples yards with for sale signs on them. It looks as if drivers are trying to get rid of  these gas guzzlers.  I know someone that bought a truck in August and now they turned around and bought a car because of the price of gas.

      I know that car dealerships have had a drop in sales,  and I have not seen a ton of dealership ads on T.V.     It obvious that the high gas prices are taking a toll on a lot of people.  I am noticing alot more people on buses and more people are using car pool programs.

    Former Charger and former Aggie, Terrence Kiel died when he was thrown from his car, after it hit a wall Friday night in San Diego.  Kiel had left a party and friends had tried to stop him from driving. Witnesses say he was driving in the wrong direction when the accident occurred.  It is not known at this time if Kiel was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

   Kiel grew up in Lufkin, Texas.  He was released by the Chargers in 2007 after he plead guilty to felony and misdemeanor drug charges for shipping prescription cough syrup to Texas.

     Why am I still hearing about Hilary Clinton?  YOU LOST!  GOODBYE!  Now she is sucking up to Barrack Obama, it's pathetic!  She needs help paying off her campaign debt and she probably thinks she is the best candidate for his Vice-President.  Well you are not the best candidate Hilary Clinton.  Don't you think 8 years as president for this country is enough. 

Bye bye!

Go ruin something else!
