September tomorrow? Say it isn't so. Better get the snowblower dusted off and oiled up.

A casino in Gettysburg? Why there? Plenty of other places available rather than this hallowed ground.

NFL predictions:

Eagles brutal schedule makes them NO BETTER than 9-7 this season.

NYJ take a step back and NE wins the division. Cincy fails and Baltimore runs away with the AFC North. Houston breaks through and finally makes the playoffs.

A titanic battle between Minnesota and GB for the NFC North with GB coming out on top.

Surprise team of the season....SF 49r's win the NFC West edging out Arizona.

You heard it here first......

Emmys and stuff

Roger Clemens faces indictment today for lying to Congress. Mike Tyson, Pete Rose, OJ Simpson, Tiger Woods...and the list goes on and on and on.

Cole Hamels pitches a gem for the Phillies yesterday. If he wasn't such a whiner and didn't make that comment about "wishing the season would be over" while his team was in the middle of a pennant race, I would actually admire and root for the guy.

Edie Falco wins another Emmy and is one fine actress. And I guess I'm going to have to start watching Glee and Modern Family now.

Speaking of Modern Family....if there is a fan club for Sophia Vergara can someone sign me up. YOW!!

Just saw an ad for a Rolls Royce Ghost. Only 26k due at signing and $3,169 per month with a $2.50 per mile charge for anything over 5k per year. Something to ponder for your next choice of autos.

Former RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman comes out of the closet...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Tiger Woods shoots a 65 and leads a tournament for the first time in almost a year....must be the relief of only paying his ex-wife 100 million.

I never watch professional tennis anymore...except for the US Open. Something about the visual sharpness of the courts there in Flushing, NY catches my eye.

A bad egg recall you say? Let's start with Congress.

Enjoy the weekend....

Chad Ochocinco gets caught tweeting during a game and is fined $25,000. Odds are he will do it again....until you fine him a game check.

Regardless of the consequences, isn't a Tastycake worth the calories?

How long can the NFL owners get away with MAKING season ticket holders buy 4 MEANINGLESS pre-season games? Look for an 18 game season to come with the next collective bargaining agreement.

Did you see the new Miss Universe Erikas Saukalas from Mexico? You do now...Ay yi yi.

The Rites of Passage

My niece Alisha getting married a couple of weeks ago....

Dropping my beloved daughter Alexandra off at college to start her adult life...

There is no denying change. It's inevitable.

But it can bring a tear to the eye of even the most hardened of men.

Best of luck ladies....and may God protect you on your journey.

Traveling to Tampa tomorrow....so here is an early blog:

Bobby Thomson died yesterday. His shot off the Brooklyn Dodgers Ralph Branca "heard round the world" captured the NL Pennant for the NY baseball Giants in 1951. Time sadly marches on....

Blagojevich guilty of lying to the Feds? Say it ain't so! It's a good thing Obama doesn't remember meeting him!

Was there ever a classier first Lady than Laura Bush?

Another shocker...Brett Farve is coming back. But will he play next year? Let's start the media watch now!

Peace......

NYG QB Eli Manning took a wicked shot in last night's exhibition game against the Jets that not only took off his helmet but opened a gash in his forehead that required 12 stitches. Unlike his NHL counterparts, he took the rest of the night off.

Recently watched a repeat of the movie "Milk" on HBO. Although I am not a fan of his politics (to put it mildly), you have to rank Sean Penn up there with Deniro and Pacino as one of the great actors of his time.

Ex-Eagle Brian Westbrook signs with the 49r's. Here is hoping he wears a padded helmet and stays concussion free this season.

I've tried to get into "True Blood".....but i just don't get the fascination. can anyone enlighten me?

Later......
