The last laugh for ... Costner?
Posted Monday, February 6, at 5:38 PM Kevin Costner may have the last laugh. Many people have said they believe Costner's film career started a nose dive when he made, "Waterworld." I actually thought the film was really neat. I loved the idea of people living off the sea, with no idea dry land may exist. People traveled from one place to another, trading goods in order to survive...
A bad prediction? Everybody is being asked about a Super Bowl prediction right now. On Friday, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the morning asked Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) who he thought would win. Most of the experts seem to believe the New England Patriots will come into Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday and knock off the New York Giants. ...
Tons of rumors and tons of luck The rumors have persisted for months. Heck, they've been floating in the Indiana air for the entire NFL season. Will Peyton Manning retire? Will he be a Colt next year? At this point, does it really matter? The Colts are coming off a 2-14 season without him...
Larkin makes Hall of Fame So the Baseball Writers Association of America spoke Monday and the numbers were clear. Barry Larkin is a Hall of Famer. Larkin, who spent his entire career with the Cincinnati Reds, was elected into the Hall Monday, earning 86 percent of the vote. Players need to receive 75 percent of the vote in order to be enshrined...
Those resolutions, they are funny Resolutions are a funny thing. Some people have the will power to be able to hold true to their resolutions, while others simply don't. I guess you can put me in the latter category. To be honest, I can't remember ever being able to keep a New Year's resolution...
Black eye for college sports Saturday. The day Indiana University firmly grasped its spot in the national spotlight after its men's basketball team knocked off No. 1 Kentucky. As great of a game that was, with Christian Watford hitting a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, something awful happened earlier in the day regarding college sports...
Madonna to perform at Super Bowl? The NFL's dirtiest secret has become official. And I wonder what fans who actually will be able to go to the Super Bowl this year feel about it. The 2012 Super Bowl halftime performance will come from Madonna, an elder statesman in the world of entertainment...
On Tebow and displaying faith I just don't get it. What's the big deal? Professional athletes thank God anytime something great has just happened. So what's wrong with an athlete thanking God on a regular basis? For months now, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has been ridiculed and criticized for his beliefs...
On Saturday, all of Clay County can come out for a day of entertainment and a great cause to help a 14-year-old. Zach was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 8. It is believed he is the youngest person in the Wabash Valley to have been diagnosed with the disease...
Peyton for MVP? Why not? Until Sunday, it never even crossed my mind. But after watching the Indianapolis Colts find a way to lose yet again, I'm edging closer and closer to believing Peyton Manning should in fact receive votes for the Most Valuable Player award. I like listening to Colin Cowherd on the radio during the afternoon while heading home for lunch...
My top favorite scary movies It's that time of year, when everybody puts a horror film in the DVD player and kicks back for a couple hours to be scared. I tried to do this the other night, when I found myself trying to watch "The Crazies." So, I thought I'd put together a list of scary movies I've seen that I would consider to be some of the scariest...
Patience is the secret I've never been a big fan of grilling. In fact, I can't stand it. Part of the reason is I feel I'm not very good at it. Just when I think the hamburger, hot dog, or anything else is ready, I then realize it's not. Or maybe it was on the grill too long...
The first birthday Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011, will be one of the best days I've ever experienced. Our son, James David, will turn one Saturday. It seems surreal that he's been around for a year now. His personality just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He loves to laugh and enjoys playing...
At this point, it's become old hat Every year, I feel obligated to voice frustration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for oversight when it comes to nominees for induction. I simply just don't get it. Earlier this week, the list of nominees for next spring's induction ceremony include The Beastie Boys, The Cure, Donovan, Eric B. and Rakim, Guns N' Roses, Heart, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Freddie King, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rufus with Chaka Khan, The Small Faces/The Faces, The Spinners, Donna Summer and War...
He said 'Bah' James David is going to be a 1-year-old soon and he's already saying his first words. He had already said "mom" and "dada," but recently, he added another word to his vocabulary. A lot of James David's toys include balls. Of all shapes and sizes. And recently, he started saying "Bah."...
There's a mouse in the house I hate mice. Really. I hate them. But in the past few weeks, Merry, James David and I saw our home invaded by one of the pesky critters. They're so darn quick; you can't just battle them with a towel (remember the bats?). Rather, these disgusting creatures scamper around everywhere, getting into everything, leaving their droppings in their wake...
Final predictions and a word on Peyton Admittedly, it's been a very busy past couple of days. I apologize for this, because I was hoping to continue blogging about my NFL predictions. I didn't get a chance to blog about the NFC, so I'll be brief. The following are my predictions for finishes in the NFC:...
Tracking the AFC West I find it quite amusing that the biggest news coming out of the AFC West doesn't have anything to do with Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers. It has nothing to do with the Oakland Raiders, which is shocking. It has nothing to do with the Kansas City Chiefs...
Tracking the AFC East For a couple of years, the New York Jets have displayed swagger and more, as head coach Rex Ryan has basically said they were the team to beat in the AFC East. And yet, the New England Patriots continue to win the division, having racked up eight division titles in 10 seasons...
Tracking the AFC North Recently, I handed out predictions for the AFC South, with the Indianapolis Colts winning the division yet again. Today, I elected to pursue predictions for the AFC North. The division is composed of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns...
