Another Great Weekend of Fun

Started this weekend off early by going to the Eagles Pre-season game. Can't believe they wanted $25 to park for preseason games, when the Phillie's parking is $15-20. Boy do they rip off Eagles fans. Was a little late and missed the kick-off but was there in time for birds 1st touchdown, Whoo Hooo. The speaker in my section wasn't working so it was hard to hear the calls and of course I forgot the radio. Oh well had a great time any way. The weekend continued Saturday at a tailgate Fundraiser for the Fritz family. They recently lost their dad to a drunk driver. How sad is that! Met some some old friends and made some new ones. They had two bands. Michael LaComp and AJ Slick. If you get a chance to see AJ Slick, check them out they were awesome. A great showing of love and support for the Fritz family. We wish them well.

Is There Magic In Ron Mexico?

There's a lot of talk about the new "Dream Team" AKA Da Eagles. A lot of it has to do with the supposed reason that free agents are coming to Philly is to play with Mike Vick. Is the chance to play with a convicted felon that much of a draw? I guess I'm now in touch with the pro-athlete mindset. I actual more excited t see what Vince Young's got. He's from the same mold as Vick. Talented athlete lacking the discipline to do what it takes to be great. I can't wait to see what Andy's rehab clinic can do with this latest QB acquisition. This team is either going to be the "Dream Team" or our Worst Nightmare if they don't get the "O" line fixed. Maybe Andy knows that his QBs need to be good runners because they are going to be running away from defenses when there is no blocking up front. We saw last year  that even the magic of Mick Vick couldn't  make defenders disappear and what happens when the catch the QB. My crystal ball is cloudy right now so I'll take a look later. Hope to see you in the parking lot.

Yes Virginia there will be Football

OK so they settled and it's off to the free agent races. One problem the Eagles seemed to has missed the starting gate. The long talked about Kevin Kolb trade is still not done. It's kind of like a game of musical chairs and the Eagles are looking like they might lose there catbird seat. Ok I still think Kolb is going to AZ but I don't think we're getting as much as was talked about during the lock-out. As other QB's come off the board it limits where he can go and starts to bring his compensation down. At this point you would be lucky to get a 2nd rounder in return. Gone are the dreams of a 1st rounded plus a starter for this year. Oh Well I'm still dusting off my tailgating gear. After all I'm a homer and will go to the games no matter what. I just hate waiting till the 3rd game of the season to see them live. Till then I'll see you in the parking lot.

My own tribute to America's Special Forces. The Best there is, the Best there was, The best there will ever be!

Derby Day

Wow what an awesome weekend. The weather was great and at least the Phils won the game I went to. It was the 137 running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday . I didn't do so well with my picks this year and after it was over I couldn't help but wonder why I didn't pick the Trifecta. I mean all the signs were there I just couldn't see them. First, Animal Kingdom, I love animals and often refer to myself as "King of the Forest." Nehro, one of my nick names is Gato Nero ( Black Cat in Italian.) and Mucho Macho Man, I was "Macho Man" at a Halloween party once!  Oh well better luck next year. Anywho, I also had a great time before the Phillie's game at Cav's Tailgate Party. As always the food was great and the crowd friendly. If you were there you can check out the pictures Cav's Tailgate Party.  Hope to see you at the next one.
