Let 'Em Play!!

As I'm sitting and watching college football on Saturday night, a player from Vanderbilt University ran a kick-off back 102 yards.
Understandably, he celebrated with a little dance.

And then the referee threw a penalty flag......

Huh???

Why are those in charge taking nearly ALL the fun out of football; both collegiate and professional? (NFL = No Fun League)
What's the big deal? No one got hurt, no real "rule" was violated. At least a rule that impacts the game such as holding, offside, or pass interference.
Football is a tough, difficult sport. And when a player scores, they need to be able to express their joy in whatever means they deem fit.

I NEED Terrell Owens grabbing some pom-poms and rocking it with the cheerleaders.
I NEED Billy "White Shoes" Johnson doing his famous end zone dance.
Hell, I NEED the Iky Shuffle.

So, in tribute to those that have given us so much joy over the years, please view the video below of some of the greatest end zone dances ever performed.

You're Welcome.

How You Know That You Live In A Country Run By Idiots

4. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.

5. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

6. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

8. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grade school for saying his teacher’s “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

9. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones,you live in a country run by idiots.

10. If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

11. If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

I'm certainly not a Glenn Beck fan, but in this case, the guy makes some really good points.

"News" Is Bad For You

The link is from an excerpt from The Guardian, and is an excellent reason that I do not follow ANY of the current talking heads on FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS et. al. 

There is no "news" anymore. It's simply a race to see which of the teams can get the story out FIRST. There is no more journalism in this country. Much like there are no more statesmen; just politicians.

This article is an excellent reason to watch something like C-SPAN, and make up your own mind.
