Not Guilty, Tebow Statue, Major League

The Casey Anthony verdict felt a lot like the OJ "not guilty" gut-punch. No one's blaming this one on race relations. If Casey Anthony is guilty, and the only people who think she's not were on the jury, then justice will have to wait, but it always seems to catch up. Ask OJ...


I didn't know much about the "Tot Mom" until I spent several days in the University of Florida hospital waiting rooms. If you think people in this state got caught up, Florida was 24/7. I haven't seen my dad so hooked on television since Johnny Carson retired...

I'm happy to report my mom has exceeded all expectations. She's already out of the hospital. I doubt anyone reads this who hasn't had cancer impact their life in some way. My mother is now in her second fight, and she's still standing. I sincerely thank all those who passed along their thoughts and prayers...

Even though we were at the University of Florida hospital, Tim Tebow did not perform the surgery. We did visit his statue though. Really...


More surprising: the Pope on Twitter or Andy Fales on Twitter?...

I was wrong about Albert Pujols; he's back before expected. However, why not wait until after the all-star break?...

I don't think we'll notice any immediate changes at the Iowa Speedway, but long term, it will only help to have the Clements in charge. Most importantly, they're local, but they're also passionate about racing...

76 wins in a row? Martensdale-St. Mary's now has the second longest streak in United States high school history. 76... in baseball? Impossible. Sooner or later you run into a hot pitcher...

Love the quote from British Open champ Louis Oosthuisen at the John Deere Classic: "I believe if you've got a tractor, it's got to be green"...

I finally saw the Hangover 2. With lowered expectations, I thought it was funny. It is the same movie again, though not as good, and the ending is absolutely ridiculous, but some crude laughs...

The Sports Illustrated issue "Where Are They Now" is my favorite of the year. I immediately skipped ahead to the story on Major League. Yes, Charlie Sheen talks about doing 'roids to get his fastball into the mid-80's, but there are many other enjoyable nuggets...
