I really felt like New Orleans brought the element of physicality to the Colts. Great job in man-to man coverage. I am very happy for the people of Louisiana. This should help in revitalizing an area that has suffered much since Katrina...
The weekend of this Blizzard of 1978, we decided to get a little creative. On the dorm there was a huge wrestling room where the floors were padded with mat. One week away from the start of Spring Training on the brain. It was all about Reggie Jackson and a chance to repeat as Champs.
Henry Aaron is 76 years young today and we haven't heard too much from him since his playing days ended. He wasn't much of a talker as I think back. However the parallels with Babe Ruth go on forever. My memories of Hank Aaron are brightest when he was in the thick of the Bambino chase in 1973 and 1974. I am about to expound on some ironies.
I recall a time when there wasn't an element of politics in sport. Of course all of that would change one bloody September 5th day in 1972 during the Olympics in Munich Germany. I also recall reading about the furor (no pun intended) when Jesse Owens had his successes in the 1936 Summer Olympics before the eyes of one Adolf Hitler.
An 11-2 run by the Jazz and expert play by Andre Kirilenko sealed the fate of the Mavericks. They now return home with home games against the Warriors and the T-Wolves starting tomorrow. I will be there Friday night.
