  • Here are this week's survey questions.   I will admit that I got most of them directly from the WKNR survey they are holding today:

    1.  Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?

    2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.

    3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you?   Example, my initials are TG.   I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like

    4. What is the one place (or a few)  that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?

    5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?

    Want to win: Saints, Patriots. Who will win: Saints, Chiefs

    2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.

    LeBron

    3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you?   Example, my initials are TG.   I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like

    Bob McAdoo or Baker Mayfield (too soon?)

    4. What is the one place (or a few)  that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?

    Columbia River Gorge, Joshua Tree NP, Fjords in Norway, Lake Geneva in Switzerland (Smoke on the Water)

    5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?

    Chili

  • 1.  Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?

    Want Chiefs to win...but it probably won't happen.   Am ambivalent on the other game....though I think I would like to see Drew Brees make another Super Bowl before he retires.  Could you imagine Brady and Brees in the Super Bowl?   Two 40 year old QBs.   This is what the new rules on hitting the QB gets us.

    2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.

    It is either LeBron...or Tiger Woods  (saw him at Firestone)  Go with LeBron for athleticism.

    3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you?   Example, my initials are TG.   I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like

    The two I mentioned are good ones.....but another is soon to be HOFer   Tony Gonzales.

    4. What is the one place (or a few)  that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?

    As you know...I have been everywhere man....but, actually, not quite.    As far as  USA proper I will give one east coast....and one West coast.  East coast:  to go out to the Statue of Liberty...and up the Empire State Building (I was scheduled to do both on or around  9/20/2001....but you can guess why that didn't happen).  On the west coast....it would be a combined trip to the Pinnacle NP (the only NP on the continental US I have not been to) combined with a drive down the Big Sur highway.   I too would like to do an Alaska cruise...someday.  Europe:  Venice/French Riviera.

    5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?

    Probably just a good ole bowl of chili.

    Yeah, that's a toughie. I'd argue that Greg Norman was actually a better athlete than Tiger since he took up golf at age 16, while Tiger was a prodigy early on and only played golf. Norman was into soccer, rugby, and basketball as a kid. 

    Plus, being a total sports junkie it was hard to pick just one guy. I've always thought basketball players were the best athletes so I went with LeBron. Apologies to Adrian Peterson, Eric Metcalf, Greg Pruitt, Rocket Richard, Omar Vizquel, Dr. J, George Gervin, Mychael Thompson, and Bruce Smith. 

  •  1.  Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?

      Grilled steak, and a nice bottle of wine- finished off with a glass or three of port, of course that's my summer comfort food too.  🙂

  • OK....what is all this love for wanting the Patriots to win?   I mean, at this point perhaps the only teams that I would want to lose more than the Pats would be the Steelers, Ravens, Cowboys, Broncos.

    well...I don't hate the Patriots or the coach as much as most around here so I wouldn't necessarily be rooting against them anyways.  But in the case of this season its the little matter of a $250 prize to me should the Patriots win the Super Bowl.   Picked them in a blind draw pool when the playoffs started.

    Um, no you wouldn't, at least the part about watching Grizzly bears on the other side. Trust me- they aren't predictable, and it's scary as hell seeing one closer than a couple hundred feet away....  (short of having a trusty .375 H&H bear stopper handy)

    LOL, got a Sarah Palin story. One of our local groceries- I'll just use the initials, DLM has a promotion "famous bags in famous places". You hold one of their shopping bags up in front of a landmark, take a picture, and you get a couple months of Fame on the wall. Like I've seen anywhere in the world. Even one on the Space Shuttle, which is sort of going to be hard to top, unless someone takes one to the Moon some day. 🙂

    On one of my Alaska trips heading from Anchorage up to the National Park you have to go through Wasilla, Palin's home town. Stop the car guys, time for a photo op. Hold up the DLM bag next to the "Welcome to Wasilla" sign. The local Republicans got quite a charge out of it.
