Full Moon Lunar Eclipse December 31

At 2:14pm (EDT) was a lunar eclipse. I say "was" because I am posting this about 3 hours after the fact. But the effects are still in play. As you know a lunar eclipse is a Full Moon where the shadow of the Earth masks part or all (depending on your vantage point) of the moon. There is usually a POP that we feel somewhere in our life depending on...

During Sunday's Jacksonville Jaguars-New England Patriots affair, Patriot wide-receiver Randy Moss caught three touchdown passes but it was a Fake Randy Moss who got all the attention.While the third touchdown was under review, cameras panned to see someone in the crowd sporting a Randy Moss mask.Then some good nature tomfoolery occurred, Randy Moss being Randy Moss.Also, for those of you who wanted a close-up of the interaction or a better angle of it live, I posted these other videos as well.

Sebastian Janikowski hits 61-yard Field Goal

Although the Oakland Raiders lost their week 16 match-up against the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski had something to celebrate.At the end of the first half, he drilled the fourth longest field goal in NFL history with a 61-yard field goal. (The longest kick is still 64 yards by Saints kicker Tom Dempsey)Many people scoffed at Al Davis for drafting Janikowski in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft; I guess they were wrong on that one.It wouldn't surprise me to see him hit a 76-yarder in a game, rememb...

Maybe Later

A month or so ago we heard the news that K's nephew's oldest daughter was pregnant. She was finishing up her last bit at the university and was on her way to begin her life and she got side tracked a bit. Last night, we got the phone call that she lost the baby. He was 17 weeks old, about 6" long and perfect in every way. There is no explanation as to what the problem was and there probably never will be. I am incredibly sadden by this because it brings back memories of C losing her first son 7 years ago. I want to DO something to make things...

Fantasy Drafthelp: Week 16 NFL Fantasy Advice

Entering a player name into this search engine trumps any other means of gathering information because it culls the data from an unbelievably wide variety of sources.^ Especially earlier in the season, it’s always good to refer to a strong baseline of where players should have been drafted – and nothing beats FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2009.^ Unless there are any injury questions,...
