Why am I Posting this photo again? Because I can...


Tomorrow - Cloudy with snow showers developing during the afternoon. High 33 °F (0.6 °C). Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph (8.0 to 16.1 kph). Chance of snow 70%. Snowfall around one inch.

So, it is supposed to snow tomorrow during the 2nd half of the Eagles game. The Birds are playing "an indoor team" which will give "the outdoor" Eagles an advantage. Or will it? Foles played for Arizona, Kelly coached in Oregon. It never snows in those places. I would Love to see a nasty weather day!

I am picking the Eagles regardless of the weather!

On a plane with the greatest athlete of all-time...

I was recently on a flight with the greatest athlete of all-time.  Who is it?

MLB Hall of Famer Dave Winfield.

We were both sitting First Class and he was in the row ahead of me.  He did not get up from his seat during the 6+ hour flight.  This surprised me because you’d think a former professional ball player would have injured and stiff legs.  Me on the other hand stood up about 6 times to stretch out my knees and back. 

DID YOU KNOW:  He is one of three players ever to be drafted by three professional sports (the others being Mickey McCarty and Dave Logan), and the only athlete drafted by four leagues.

He was a very large man.  He stood about 6'6" and looked like he could still play.  I started to tell him my Dad won the City Championship and my Uncle can do Sledge Hammer tricks.  He was not interested.
