Part 2 Let Me Get This Right and Drinking the Kool-Aid

So, let me get this right....
It surprises you that Lance Armstrong is a jerk and used performance enhancing substances? I hate to tell you, I knew he was jerky and the fact that he uses those substances doesn't really surprise me. I've never cared much for him. Yes, I get the whole LIVESTRONG thing and what he's done for cancer awareness. But the way he has weaved himself in out of the women in his life is not very attractive in my opinion. And the way he dumped Sheryl Crow because she wanted kids, moved on to the next girl and had 2 kids with her...not cool. Anyway, long story short if he seems like a jerk he probably is a jerk.
Manti Te'o...WOW. He is a testament to NOT doing online dating. Nothing wrong with doing things the old fashioned way. My mom once married someone from Pittsburgh and she only dated him, before she married him, a short time. She failed to go to Pittsburgh and see his "other life". There were a lot of things he exaggerated about himself and not to mention he was a Steelers fan. An obnoxious one at that. What I'm getting at is if you are in a relationship, you want to meet up with them fairly soon. You know. To make sure they are who they say there are. You never really know someone, but at least you won't have a nation mocking you and your draft won't suffer from it. Is Te'o innocent? That's not for me to say. BTW Law and Order Special Victims Unit did a similar episode. CREEPY.

Drinking the Kool-Aid....
I am still drinking the Jaguar Kool-Aid. I am trying to contain my excitement about the new Jacksonville Jaguars General Manager, David Caldwell, and also the new Head Coach, Gus Bradley. My official line is "I'm Missouri. Show me." However, inside my mind I'm excited. Excited I won't have to put for sale signs in "some one's" yard during the off season. Excited that we have people with positive pedigree. Excited to get my team back on the right track. I just wanna win.

We Must Protect This House

P.S. On the off chance I have struck a nerve with my whole obsession over Andrew Luck, Stanford and the Indianapolis Colts (see It's Not Called The Naive Football League), let me add the names of Pep Hamilton and Ron Turner to the story. Just wiki them. Interesting the flow of coaches between Stanford and the Colts. There are no coincidences.

Is it the Orange Bowl or "THE" Orange Bowl

I have run across several people in the last month that have no idea about the "Orange Bowl". So I decided today, the day of the Orange Bowl would be a good day to explain the difference.
The current Orange Bowl or what they call the "Discover Orange Bowl", is played at Sun Life Stadium, the stadium that the Miami Dolphins play at on Sundays. This year there are 2 college post season games to be played there. The first is the FSU vs. NIU. The second is the National Championship Game between Alabama and Notre Dame.
These games are not to be confused with the games played at "THE" Orange Bowl called the Burdine Stadium from 1937-1959. If you aren't familiar with what a Burdines is, it was a department store started in Florida that was merged into the Federated Stores, more popularly known as MACY's. "The" Orange Bowl played many games from 1937-2008 that where important games to the game of football.  What I am about to tell you is quite distressing to myself and maybe you too once I open your eyes. *BIG BREATH* It was demolished in May 2008. And they built the Marlins Park, home of the Miami Marlins. The utter disgrace of  MLB. Home of Ozzie Guillen, admirer of Fidel Castro. The Miami Marlins who slashed and burned their roster after the 2012 season. So, they tear down a National Treasure, in my mind anyway, and build a home that houses a bunch of one and done-rs.

So please. Don't mix up the Discover Orange Bowl played at Sun Life Stadium and "THE" Orange Bowl. #KNOWYOURORANGEBOWLS. Thanks.
