I pulled a Homer Simpson-Duh-oh!

I tried to get our week 4 picks in and my laptop went on the fritz...Here comes the picks for the NFL...Pete & I both liked the Bills over the Rams and the Jets over the Cards...Pete had the Bears & I had the Eagles and the Monday nighter I've got the Ravens & Pete has the Steelers...Or maybe it's the opposite...The concert on Friday night at the Dome was so much fun...To watch guys that have been lifelong friends get up on stage to re-create some magic for a night is just awesome...Pete has worked with all of these folks since they were kids and I've known all of them since I was a kid...It was a great night...I want to send out a special thanks to Jesse Fish & his crew that did the Adopt-A-Child motorcycle ride this past Saturday...$1,000 was raised to purchase gifts for the kids at Christmas...My D-V-R is on overload for the early part of the new tv season...I record alot of shows then pick which ones are worth watching again along with my old favorites...When I had my VCR, I never recorded anything, now I record alot to accomodate my schedule...That's all I've got...See you on the radio...Dan

Week 3 of the NFL and other stuff?

Here we go for picks for the 3rd week of the NFL season...I have a 2 game lead on Pete on the season's picks...It should be noted that Dave Thomas was in for Pete, so I'll use Dave's picks...Both of us like the Giants will beating the Rams silly...We both took the Patriots over the Dolphins...Now the fun stuff...Dave took the Raiders over the Bills and I'm getting on the Bills bandwagon this week...The Monday nighter has the Jets going out to the west coast to take on the very unlucky Chargers...Before I go any further, Dave knows nothing and I mean nothing about football...Dave is taking the Jets on the west coast and I'm going with the Chargers to get lucky and win...Now to other stuff...It'll be a busy week with all sorts of season debuts for shows on the boob tube and a weekend that is jammed with all sorts of fun stuff to do...I just hope this weekend's weather goes thru next week...Concert a Crandall Park on Friday...The Motorcycle ride for the Adopt-A-Child program on Saturday and The Taste Of The North Country on Sunday...Keep your fingers crossed...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

The Club's picks for week 2 of the NFL

Last week, Pete & I had the same picks for the week...Not a lot of fun there...So here we go for week 2...The 1st game is The NY Giants vs The St. Louis Rams...The Gmen looked good for the 1st 3 drives then...The just stink...We both like the Giants...The next game has The Buffalo Bills against The Jacksonville Jaqs...Neither of us had the Bills or the Jags right last week...In a coin flip we both took the Jags...Next up is a game that had the potential to be a big one til Brady went down & out for the Pats for the season...I am a lifelong Patriots fan...Pete became one when Doug Flutie came back a few years ago...Pete said right away...The Pats easy over the Jets...I had to think long and hard...A big chore on any day for me...I finally picked the Pats by 3...I hope I'm right on this one or it could be a long week...The final game we'll pick this week is the Monday nighter with the Philadelphia Eagles at the Dallas Cowboys...Pete is going with Don Henley & Glenn Frey and the Eagles...I believe in curses or jinxes or superstitions but I don't believe Jessica Simpson is any of those...With that being said I'm going with the Cowboys...I hope watching football will be better...I won't be watching any of the pre-game shows...I've got to watch some paint dry instead...See you on the radio...Dan

Bad Football & Even Worse TV

My New England Patriots opened the season with a win but suffered a huge loss..The Jets-Dolphins and the Bills-Seahawks games to open Sunday football around here on regular TV just stunk...The Cowboys-Browns stunk just as well...The NBC pre-game with Dan & Keith and Bob & Chris should go without Dan & Keith...I used to like the 2 of them on Sportscenter but that was just awful...I turned the channel over to Fox for the show Hole In The Wall...Could this be the worst show ever...A new all-time low...Even for Fox...I hope next Sunday's viewing & games will be better even if Tom Brady is sitting in his La-Z-Boy just like me on a Sunday...See you on the radio...Dan

My picks for the weekend

I don't know if I'm as brave as Ken to give you upset specials, I want you to keep your trophies(read his blog to figure it out) and your money...I picked the Giants to win on Thursday...Pete didn't...But we both pickes these games for the local NFL teams...Here you go...The Pats over the Chiefs...The Jets downing the Dolphins and the Seahawks beating the Bills...Let's go Pats...That's all for now...See you on the radio...Dan

It's time for some football and other things

As a NY Yankee fan, I'm ready for the NFL season to get underway...I'm a bit on edge about the team I root for, the New England Patriots...I'm also looking forward to the high school football season...Ken Leccese is one of the most in-the-know people on what is happening on the high school football scene around here...I just love the game...I do miss calling the games but Ken & Brian do a great job...Hey, I gotta keep things short, my grand daughter is waiting for me to come to dinner, I want to say thanks to an old friend, Glenn Merkosky, for bringing the Stanley Cup into town this Friday...For those that know Merk, this isn't a surprise...He's a Glens Falls guy...I still mis having a team of our own though...Thanks Merk...I gotta go...Sophie's waiting...See you on the radio...Dan
