The price of regular gasoline here in Nashville has started going back up again and it has doubled in just a couple of months, we had got the price down to $1.25 a gallon and now it is over $2.50 a gallon in spots. I see it going back up to where it was late last year and that will be the end of many small businesses, I know the high gasoline prices last year took the wind out of the sails of our business and it never recovered. I hope to be able to start something else soon to make up the money we lost in our deliverey business and I need to get going very soon.
Ice road truckers
The new season of the Ice Road Truckers starts on Sunday, this is a great show that I watch with interest every time it is on TV. It has been a long time since it was on and I am ready to watch the brave souls driving on the ice roads. I do not think that I could do it, I do not consider myself a coward but you have to draw the line somewhere and driving a big rig on ice is where I draw the line.
Great game
On Sunday we got to see one of the finest Super Bowls ever played. It came down to the very end and both teams had a great chance to win the game. I was very proud of my Arizona Cardinals and lets hope this marks the turn around of this franchise. I would love to see them have a good team every year, in no way do i really think they could make the Super Bowl every year but at least give us a chance to be in the playoffs every year at the very least. Cheers to a great game on Sunday by both teams.
Super Bowl
On Sunday the world gets a good look at one of the biggest surprises to ever make it to the Super Bowl. My favorite team the Arizona/St Louis Cardinals will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in what I think is the biggest surprise to ever make it this far in the football playoffs. The closest I can think of was the New York Jets of Joe Willie Namath who won the big game against the much better Baltimore Colts. Lets hope we get the same result from the Arizona Cardnials this weekend. GO CARDS!
New President
Next week we get us a new President here in the United States, and I for one am not very excited over the coming events. I can not see a lot of change coming from other Presidents that we have had, they all come into the office full of piss and vinegar and then they come to realize that nothing really changes just the face in front of the camera. I wish Obama all the best he is going to need the whole country behind him and I am not sure if that is enough to make any major changes.
Best BBQ
I have had BBQ in many parts of this country and some have been very good………Martins BBQ in Nolensville TN. Some have been very bad…….Lucille’s in Oklahoma City it was roast beef swimming in ketchup, and I do mean swimming. Texas makes a very good BBQ, and in my opinion the folks who do BBQ in the south are way over rated to much vinegar for me, give me good Kansas City or Texas BBQ and I am one happy boy.
Big game
This week is a big week for me and my football teams. Vanderbilt really needs to beat Tennessee today and I really need Oklahoma to come big and beat Texas Tech. The wins would make it very interesting for bowl games and in the case of Oklahoma a big factor in making it to the national championship game against Alabama unless LSU beats the Tide in the SEC Championship game later on. Confused? Well so am I. Let us just hope all of my teams win today and then we can sort it out later on.
10-0
With their 24-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars today the Tennessee Titans have run their undefeated streak to 10 games. They are sitting very pretty in the AFC South race and it looks like the road to the Super Bowl runs through Nashville. Home playoff games are a huge advantage and it looks like we will have two home playoff games and the way the team is playing right now, Katy Barr the Door! Look out Tampa here come the Titans.
Race
One TV show that we really enjoy watching is the Amazing Race we set aside every Sunday to be able to sit on the couch with all of the dogs in attendance and watch this great show. We have been fans since the show started and will until it ends. The contrast between the pairs of races is so amazing, I love to see who can handle the pressure and who wilts under pressure. I think we would be a great pair for the race but I am sure we would keep the censors very busy, and that would be a test of how we do work together. I can not wait for next weeks race and I am starting the countdown right now.
9-0
I am a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans and I am so very proud that they have run their record to 9-0. I think this weeks game with Jacksonville will be the toughest game of the year, these two teams do not like each other and it shows when they play. Our team will be ready but so will the Jaguars, it would be a huge feather in their caps to beat the last unbeaten team in the National Football League. Let us hope the team keeps going on the right path and wins this bif AFC South game on Sunday.
