Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to attend some memorable sporting events and Sunday I got to add another one to the list.
It just so happened that I was in Cleveland for the Blizzard Bowl, and as uncomfortable as the weather conditions appeared to be, it was one of the most enjoyable sporting afternoons I can remember.
A couple of months ago my buddy Bruce was given six excellent tickets to the Bills/Browns game so we looked ahead and marked it on the calendar never dreaming it would turn into a game that would be talked about for a years to come.
On Friday we became aware of the weather forecast but we took the attitude it would probably blow over and if it didn’t we were all prepared to stay over.
When we got up Sunday morning the weather was fine, but as forecast, the snow started to blow in about an hour before game time and by the time we had bundled up and hit the street it had become a full tilt blizzard.
At times it was all we could do to walk “into” the wind and it took your breath away as ice pellets whacked against your face. But we trudged through the snow and made our way into the stadium
Lucky for us, we were sitting only seven rows from the field on the north side, which meant our backs were to Lake Erie. All things considered it was actually quite pleasant compared to what most of the fans had to deal with so we were able to endure the entire game.
I loved it. I was dressed warm enough to stand there and take it all in. It was the best 8-0 game I’ve ever seen.
This is a picture of Neighbour John walking to the game. Yes, that's a beer in his hand.
This a picture of me and Neighbour John at the game. Yes, that's a beer in his hand.
And here's a video for ya.

really does possess the bravery to tell Sanchez to never add on mayo with corned beef on rye? He is from Miami. You may just think he'd know.

The U.S. Department of State set an alert Sunday for U . s . tourists in The european union to be aware of your heightened possible for an al-Qaeda terrorist attack. The signal didn't identify any specific regions however did signal Us citizens overseas of terrorists’ prospective “to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure.” But no armed forces or united states government infrastructures?

Intense? Lindsay Lohan will never be aware of half it. I propose for her a business termed Palmer Substance abuse Program. They might be able to assist this lady.

I stop at the house to realize also that Rick Sanchez was dismissed from CNN. Hmm. Yep, I spotted that coming.

Lindsay Lohan just is not going any place that'll keep her from filming, so once more, I call BS at this severe rigorous inpatient rehabilitation tripe. There is not any way Lindsay Lohan or her mommy will neglect this chance to make money. And needless to say she won’t loathe that scram bracelet good enough to quit the jack and coke and live without stuffing sh*t up her cruddy nose.

Lindsay Lohan Will Go to Rehabilitation Today,. it really is simply a ploy to reduce the jail time hence the judge would be lax with her. Cushy rehab is sooo superior to imprisonment, maybe the judge won't give her any incarceration when you consider that he'll almost certainly be so shocked!
