My Pick: Steelers 17-14 over the Cards

January 31st, 2009 - 1:16pm by mark_cooper

Looks like the majority went with the Cards….Me, I like the Steelers…but I went 0-4 in the playoffs so we’ll have to see what happens. Like I mentioned, I’d need a loan if I was a gambler. I hate to lose so I wouldn’t make a very good gambler.

Caught a bunch of redfish in Mosquito Lagoon near Titusville, Florida over the weekend and had fun golfing at Tim Wakefield’s Charity Golf Tournament. It was interesting talking to Jim Rice, who just went into the MLB Hall of Fame. He’s always at Tim Wakefield’s event so we chatted about the day he was confirmed and the interview curcuit he was on, etc. I’m not a big baseball guy/fan but admire athleticism just the same. Great player I just didn’t really follow the sport growing up but he got a very nice reception at the tournament. Congrats to him and his family.

By the way, the Space Coast Early Intervention Center is one incredible place. They help kids from about a year old that have disabilities integrate into the mainstream and it will bring tears to your eyes as you hear some of the incredible success stories. If you have friends or know anyone that has a special needs child, you need to tell them about this very special place.

Coach McDaniels made a number of hires, and I, like many of you, only know what I’ve read about many of them. It’s somewhat like the draft…only time will tell.

Was on the Mile High Sports radio AM 1510 KCKK show hosted by Gil Whiteley yesterday from 12-1, and had a blast. Gil and I did radio years ago, back in the early 90’s.

Also, if you don’t have plans for the SUPER BOWL. I and a number of Alumni will be at Mikuni Sushi Restaurant and Bar for a SUPER BOWL PARTY, Sunday, February 1, 2009; 3:30PM, Park Meadows Shopping Center, benefits the local food bank.

Wow!! just thought about this…….. SUPER BOWL XLIII and I played in XXI……kinda makes you feel old…….nah!!!!!!!!!! :o )

Work Hard, Play Hard!!!

    yo-how many of you are happy that we dumped Bly?! I know his salary goes against the cap, right? we have to eat that money, but I’m soooo freak’n happy he’s not in orange/blue. disagree gett’n rid of Engleberger+Winborn. Great back-ups. I’m against all the cheerleader antics Winborn after making a tackle, but he was a heady LB. I think the reason was that him+Nolan didn’t get along. I think these are good moves. Let’s GUT this team. Especially on D. Start @ the top=Shanny…work your way down. I’m guess’n @ least 7 new starters on D for the ’09 season. am I right or am I right? I’m stoked. Of course there is going to be growing pains. I can live w/that. As long as the D is runn’n to the ball+uber aggressive then it’s all good. Must start Woodyard. He’s a hungry dog. Larsen has game. I’m for building the team through the draft+not spend’n big money on free agents. Look @ our history! Niko+Manuel+mcCree+Bly+Robertson, etc…all busts…Big Time!!!! Our core O has been through the draft. Clady, Royal, BMarsh, Cutler, Sheff, Harris….time to invoke that philosophy for our D…am I right or am I right???? Go Broncos!!!!! Amped for ’09. punches n bunches
