Super Bowl weather is normally freezing outside with mounds of snow and ice, but this year is different. With temperatures hitting a remarkable 56 degrees it doesnt seem like football weather, more like spring training for baseball. Who do you like this year in the big game, New England Patriots or the New York Giants? They met only a few years ago and New England had a chance to close out a perfect season, but New York rallied late in the game to upset them. That gives New England and their fine quarterback Tom Brady a chance for revenge. Dont you feel sorry for the candidates who are under the microscope for whatever they say. Im sure he didnt mean to say it but Republican front runner Mitt Romney told CNN that he didnt care about the poor. He caught himself and said they (the poor) already have a safety net, and if there are holes in it he would fix them. He said he was more concerned about the middle class and would focus on it if he becomes president. While in Iowa a couple of weeks ago a bumper sticker I saw went over pretty good. I told the natives there that we in Illinois are different than other states. In Illinois our governors MAKE our license plates.

Ive seen a lot of basketball games in my day and heard many sad stories of players getting injured and unable to play. When I heard that El Paso-Gridleys star player Bodee Schlipf cut the tendons in two fingers in shop class at his high school and had to have emergency surgery, I felt bad for him. The Titans have a good team, but they would be missing a lot without him. It would be 4-6 weeks before he could play again. Bodees desire to play was so strong that he decided to come back early. He was fitted with a special bandage that allowed him to play practically one-handed. In two games in the county tournament he scored 19 and 28 points, a remarkable accomplishment. Bodee, a junior, got a little push from his sister, Codee, a sophomore and a starter on the undefeated EPG girls team. She told him to get out there and play! Whatever she said it worked and another chapter in McLean County Tournament lore was written. |
