Happy Birthday 2012 Cliff!

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has tweeted that he is considering hiring Jim Popp to be the Colts' new general manager. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/als-popp-candidate-for-colts-gm-job/article2294908/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=384466

It's a new world. The Ticats have hired George Cortez as their new head coach, and Bob Young made the announcement on Twitter. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=384486 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/george-cortez-named-tiger-cats-head-coach/article2294967/

I strongly suspect that the bulk of the $12 million price tag was for the land, not the building. She razed the building, but plans to replace it with one more to her liking. Her improvements may indeed make the property more valuable.

I didn't keep track of how the teams qualified for the bowls, but it appears that the two teams in tonight's Cotton Bowl are higher ranked than the teams of the Orange Bowl and the Sugar Bowl, two BCS bowls.

Happy Birthday 2012 ornette!

Happy Birthday 2012 Nate!

Happy Birthday 2012 mg!

I'm getting a Kobo ad tonight. Is it the same for everybody?

My sympathies, Chuck. I can recommend this. http://www.amazon.com/LifeSmart-LS1500-4-Infrared-Quartz-Heater/dp/B005K8LEAM/ref=sr_1_2?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1325635043&sr=1-2

Happy Birthday 2012 Marty!

Correct, Jeff! I was looking for a much younger photo, but couldn't find one.

TSN and The Globe & Mail are reporting that the Stamps and the Ticats are close to finalizing a deal that will send Henry Burris to Hamilton for Kevin Glenn. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=384050 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/report-stampeders-deal-qb-henry-burris-to-ti-cats/article2289268/

I guess no one wants to be known and remembered as the guy who fired Dick Clark. Doesn't he have family members who would tell him that it's time to retire? Since 9/11, the Times Square New Year's Eve on all the networks seems to be about the NYPD. I could do without that, as it seems to be an agenda other than celebrating the new year. I started (at 11:50 pm, which is when I turned on the television) to watch the Country New Year's Eve on Fox, but when the host stripped down to his boxer shorts, I knew that I had had enough!

Congratulations!

That's great Allen! Is the list in the mag, or just online?

Happy New Year everyone! My New Year's resolution is to write a book. I've got a lot to learn.

Looks great, TTK!

For a long while I opened up a Charlie Parker cd on New Year's. In recent years it's been a Julie London album. I have a couple of London cd's to choose from on Sunday.

Anybody watch the Alamo Bowl tonight?

Happy Birthday 2011 Tony!
