Big Blue & Bucket List

I don’t want to portray all Giant football fans as those who think the glass is half-empty but I can only imagine water-cooler talk today:

Fan #1- Boy am I glad Tony Romo got hooked up with that Jessica
Simpson because she did what our defense didn’t in the first
two games….stopped him dead in his tracks.

Fan #2- Yeah and Eli was okay but he’ll be terrible in Green Bay
because it’s going to be about 9 degrees at kickoff and
everyone knows he can’t play in the cold weather.

Actually Eli was better than just “okay” and regardless of what happens next he and Big Blue has far exceeded expectations of most of their fans and so-called experts. Plus how cool is it going to be to watch a game on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field Sunday Night?

One footnote to Sunday’s game. Did you notice that appearing on the sidelines in the final minutes was Dallas owner Jerry Jones? Not only did he show up but was standing right next to the head coach. Jones loves being on camera and I’m sure he wanted to be the focus of attention when Dallas pulled the game out…instead watching his agony over the loss was (as they say in the commercial)….priceless.


If you like a movie that has the ability to make you laugh and cry then don’t wait too long to see “The Bucket List” which has to be one of the best films I’ve seen in years. The pairing of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman is simply perfect and this is a film that all adults will enjoy. We
saw it Saturday night at the Marquee Cinema in Toms River and when the movie ended the jammed theatre broke into a round of applause…something you rarely see. This is a terrific film!
