Lately work has been nuts, client renewals, audits and inspections have kept me & my staff very busy. Adding to my schedule are the Nov. 6 election and my family.
The funky news is a dear friend of my daughter & her fiancee' picked up a rare virus and died. The eighteen year old was the son of my future son in law's employer. The father owns a mid-size landscaping and contracting firm.
He has been incredibly supportive of my future son in law. (Believe me.) His kindness speaks to his character.
What is truly sad about this situation, his son had the best medicine money could buy. My prayers go out to the grieving.
My favorite uncle was released from the hospital to the loving arms of his first wife, to the dismay of his current girlfriend. No drama there. He had problems with his pacemaker. More problems lie ahead...
In the middle of my schedule, I managed to sneak in some fun. Since we had to renew an account in western PA, a friend provided tickets to the Steelers-San Francisco game. Steelers tickets are a premium, this was huge. When I shared our good fortune with my associate, I thought he would do a backflip. The last time I saw this side of him was the birth of his child.
We dined with my friend and his family of five kids at wonderful Italian restaurant Saturday night upon our arrival.
The next day we began our day with breakfast at the Steel City Diner, which was around the corner from our hotel. It was there where the magic began. We watched this slow ripple to then the tidal wave of black gold stream down the street.
We had no clue how close we were to the stadium. Watching this sea of people heading to the stadium at 10 am was unbelievable.
What is different than what I have seen is Philly was the foot traffic. Along the "parade route" were vendors selling Steelers stuff. My associate knew that I fell in love with football during the Bradshaw, Stallworth, Greene, Swan era. I switched to the Eagles in college, to this day I'm not sure why.
After parading the mile & half to the stadium, the sights, sounds and smells from the tailgating were amazing. A high school band performed. The local radio station had a huge barbeque and the reps were dragging people to their tent.
A local charity was collecting money for the homeless. Their buckets were full of cash. What was absent were the local police.
I was stunned at the multi-generations. I would never take my dad or my grandson to an Eagles game at their current ages.
Our seats were in the club section on the FIFTY YARD LINE. Wow. It was cool. It was like Christmas in September.
It was sooo exciting. The fans were fired up and LOUD. I don't know how the either team could hear the plays being called. Even though it took Big Ben three quarters to get it together, they were more supportive than critical. Wow.
After the game, we lingered in the stadium soaking up our experience. My associate turned to me with a quizzical look and said, well? I shook my head and said "no baby, I still love my Birds."
I slipped into the colors and cheered with the hometown crowd. But like a discreet and brief love affair, I have returned home to the comfort of my Eagles.

Not only is it cheating, it's stupid
"Legal spying, stealing signals, the cat-and-mouse gamesmanship -- that's done by every team. But illegal spying through the use of videotape? Not common at all, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous. Most teams adhere to the strict policies in the league's Game Operations Manual that prohibit video recording devices on the field, in the coaches' booth and in the locker room during games.
"There isn't a team in the league that doesn't try to steal signals [but] I haven't heard about teams recording footage like the Patriots were," said one longtime NFL assistant coach. "But you can bet everybody is trying to steal in some way. In fact, you can go to any NFL game and you'll find some coach whose sole job is to look for defensive signals."
Added one NFC personnel director: "What the Patriots did is extremely rare because it's against the rules. It's one of those things that if it's not Bill Belichick involved, you wonder if the coach survives something like that. What is more normal is something like a guy sitting in a press box trying to steal signs by looking at the coaches. That's why the home team usually has its back to the press box when they're in their own stadium."
While it may be difficult to believe Belichick's Patriots are the only ones using the latest video technology to their advantage, the fact is they're the only ones who have been caught. If other teams knew opponents were illegally videotaping their signals, they'd likely alert league and stadium security, much like the Jets did Sunday at the Meadowlands.
This is the first time I've heard of somebody doing what New England did," one AFC personnel director said. "It wouldn't surprise me if somebody else has tried it in the past but the bottom line is that it's illegal. We all get the same memos from the league each season telling us what we can't do."
Added an NFC general manager: "The accusation far outweighs what is actually happening. This isn't rampant throughout the league. Now, the arrogance of thinking you could get away with it? That is the beauty of this. … It's the height of arrogance."
An AFC executive suggested that Belichick "probably got greedy and let whatever issues he has with [Jets coach Eric] Mangini get the best of him."
Another current assistant coach said the legal stealing of signals is just "good coaching. But when you start using video equipment to steal signs, you're off the reservation. I think that's a whole different matter. That goes against everything we've been taught as coaches."
That's one reason illegal videotaping of signals isn't widespread. Here's another reason: It may not be worth the risk of getting caught.
Sources say there is only so much that can be gained by stealing signals. Generally, coaches want to know only two things about the defense: (1) When a blitz is coming; and (2) What kind of coverage the defense is going to play. That type of information can be gleaned easily from other forms -- legal forms -- of spying.
Mangini worked for Belichick. His shema is similar to Belechick's. A) They better suspend Belichick. B) They better fine the team. C) Mandatory annual ethics classes.
Andy Reid give Bill Belichick your dumb ASS of the week award....

JR Reed
Young Mr. Reed has entered Philly sports lore. He has joined the ranks of Herm Edwards, Bill Bergey, Harold Carmichel and Randal Cunningham. Unfortunately, he will not be looked upon with much affection.
Being a true believer, I was convinced that the Eagles could manage to pull a win out of their collective backsides Sunday. The defense played well. The offense was not offensive.
What killed the Eagles was their special teams. For years, our special team was not sexy, except for David Akers if you talk to my daughter, but just a quietly productive unit.
For reasons known only to Reid and Jesus, our special teams unit are suddenly suspect.
It is understood that the punt returners are like fire fighters. It takes a truly unique individual to run into a burning house. A punt returner has to have the presence of mind to know when to go after a ball, field it all the while ignoring, a pack of 300 lb men running toward you at full speed. That is a whole lot of physics.
It was painful enough watching Greg Lewis who has NEVER served in this capacity try to keep his legs from shaking as he was just terrible. Then it got worse.
I didn't even know we had a JR. For what was to become the last play of the game, Reid served up JR REED. GB punted the ball poorly, Reed called a fair catch. No problem. Then the wheels fell off the Eagles bandwagon. He started toward the ball.
It was like a guy explaining to his girlfriend that she didn't gain that much weight. You are screaming stop, stop, STOP.
Well, you know the rest.
Coach Reid, go find a punt returner or two before the next game, PLEASE.
On a very serious note, football is a violent sport. Just ask Buffalo's Kevin Everett. He has been earning a living playing a sport that he loves. He has provided entertainment for people like me who love this sport. Believe it or not, I never get used to seeing guys get carted off the field, even Cowboys.
Everett is in a hospital fighting for his life. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Owens wants McNabb????
TO is clinical. It would kill him not to throw his current quarterback under the bus. I'm just glad he found his way to the Cowboys (BOOOOOO).
They will never win anything with that bonehead prancing around.

The Price of Friendship
"In a way, I feel sorry for him. He had so much talent and so little insight into his own life. He had a great instinct for helping kids and no instinct at all for the true nature of kindness. Most of all, when he landed the big bonus and the big endorsements, he never noticed that the guys with whom he was keeping it real were destroying everything he’d worked so hard to get.
And in the end, when the feds came down on him like a pack of, well, pit bulls, his buddies forgot all about keeping it real and thought only of keeping their own worthless backsides out of jail. Their keen sense of self-interest led them to attach themselves to Vick’s wallet like moray eels. That same sense made it easy for them to turn on him.
But that’s what always comes of buying friendship instead of earning it."

RIP Bill Walsh
He created a system around a quarterback's weakness. Net result three Super Bowls, two Hall of Fame QB's and coaches too numerous to name.
He changed the way football is played. Managers take note, he tweaked a system to bring out the best in an employee. Everybody wins.
He will be missed.

Keeping up with a good guy
"It's karma, baby! This is what happens when you invest so much monetarily and emotionally in one individual: You ride with him or you die with him. Such is the Eagles' situation.
McNabb is a five-time Pro Bowler, one of only seven players in NFL history to amass 20,000 passing yards and 2,500 rushing yards. He's Mr. Squeaky-Clean, the reason Mama (Wilma) McNabb is seen in all those Campbell's Chunky Soup commercials. But McNabb is also the man who ended 2006 after just nine games with an ACL injury, one season after ending 2005 with a sports hernia, who has failed to finish that 16-game marathon in three of the last five regular seasons.
"We'll keep a close eye on him and just see how he does," Reid said.
Good. Because there is a bright side to this: At least we're watching McNabb for all the right reasons."
Training camp opened this week without any sideshows. No front yard sitsups, or contractual holdouts. The only question lingering is how wll the franchise QB perform or even finish the year?
With a strong supporting cast, as a fan, not a bad place to be.

If found guilty he should go to jail
First of all, I view Michael Vick as a underachieving quarterback with an attitude. Not a good combination. This is no longer important.
If he is found guilty for doing unspeakable things to animals, he should go face the music. Getting kicked out of the NFL should be the least of his problems.
The "why" is no longer relevant. Maybe he is just a bad person. Vick was given a gift. He has an opportunity to play a sport that he loves AND get paid for it. Who wouldn't like to get paid a livable wage to do something they love?
Sigh.

The meaning of team
I am a huge fan of team sports. Done right, it gives an individual the opportunity to set aside "me" for team. It is amazing how a good coach and a team of peers can help an individual grow a person.
The wheels fall off of the team bus when a "star" is anointed. The star is set up as something special. The rules don't seem to apply to them because of their gift. A times the gift can be a curse. After not having the rules applied to them because they are special, people are stunned to see these men act well "special."
Michael Jordan was iniitially cut from his high school team. He had to WORK to become MJ. The work ethic he learned carried him to several NBA championships.
My parents ALWAYS said that you are judged by the company you keep. Would "his boys" be in Vick's life if he wasn't underwriting their bad behavior? Your friends want nothing from you but your friendship. Your true friends more importantly are willing to have the hard conversations if your behavior or attitude is not cool.
The most valuable lesson Michael Vick can learn from this whole sordid affair is that he needs to grow up and sort out who really are his friends. He may find the room a little less crowded.
Is that so bad?
To hell with his career, it may save his life.

Football season is over
Last week was the grand finale for the season. We even got a decent game. My daughter offered, "what about the Pro Bowl? We never watch the Pro Bowl."
"There is a reason I haven't subjected you to the Pro Bowl, I advised, the game always sucks." Unlike the other sports, where the all-star game is usually in the middle of the season. Furthermore, it is rare when a baseball or basketball player will sustain a career ending injury. So it becomes weenie bowl, understandably. Hard hitting tackles are not happening.I can't sit through the Pro Bowl, it is just too ugly to watch.
The days are getting longer. It is time for me to reconnect with my friends who fail to understand my passion (obsession) with football. For my family, it is like a hangover. But we all know the drill, we do manage to come up with other activities that does not involve a brown ball.
The re-entry process takes about two weeks, depending on the weather. It is much harder when it is cold. My friends are used to this seasonal process.
Blessedly, baseball's spring training is right around the corner.

The No Fun League strikes again
The NFL prints money. Second only to Nascar, professional football is America's favorite sport. As one of those people, Sundays are spent bonding with friends and family watching the game. For these greedy bastards to stop CHURCHES from showing the game on big screens is just dumb.
Joys of Parenting
Anyone who has the pleasure of reproducing, knows it is the most challenging job that you will even endure. You don't know how good of a job you have done until all parties are old and gray. If the tenure lasts that long.
You love your babies, give them what you think is wisdom. Ultimately, they choose their own journey. At some point, you simply offer healthy support then turn them over to God.
Andy Reid's adult children managed to find themselves in a shitload of trouble. No formal charges have been filed, yet.
Because of who they are I am sure things will be done slowly by the book. Will they be treated differently than some poor little black child? Absolutely. It doesn't make it right but that is the way it is. That is a rant for a different day.
I don't know Reid or his sons, but as a parent I am sick for him. From what has been reported his sons have issues. My view of world changed after I gave birth 20 years ago. I am less quick to judge a sitution and have become a little more compassionate.
In the meantime, it is not for you or I to judge this family or Andy's parenting skills. They are in plenty of pain, as is any family that finds themselves in inexplicable circumstances.
I will keep them in my prayers.

Weekend before the Super Bowl
This is probably the the worst weekend in the world for a NFL football fan. No football. It is a bye week. UGH
Generally the last two weeks leading up to this weekend you see great football. One team advances the other goes home. Only two make it to the big event.
After the Super Bowl, you have time to go through withdraw and eventually spend your weekends doing something other than being glued to the tube.
I did spend time with family and friends like a normal person this weekend. However, I must confess when I was at home, the NFL channel was running the highlights of all of the Super Bowls. The interviews with the key players and coaches is really cool. But at times it is a painful reminder of the few appearances by my Birds.
I guess my addiction could be worse.....

The last time Philly had a championship parade
The Royal couple arrived to Philadelphia today. HoHum. There was a parade.
The last time Philly participated in a championship parade is when we spanked the Redcoats.
Maybe I am exaggerating, it just seems that long.
I'm not bitter.

The pile of coaches grows
Bill Parcells had enough. The Hall of Fame coach clearly grew bored with his mentally challenged superstar wide receiver. Once it was evident, the drama queen would be back next season, Parcells wisely headed for the door.
Who the hell needs it? The Tuna will be scooped up by a national network and be given a boatload of money to share his wisdom. Good for him.
Jim Mora had it all wrong, Michael Vick is not a coach killer, the drama queen owns that special title. The locker room will be divided and the cancer will spread. It could not happen to a nicer team.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Eyewitness to History
The second half of the Colts v. Patriots game was far better than the first. The Colts did not seize the lead until the last minute and half of the game. Marlon Jackson, not that Marlon, cemented the win by intercepting Tom Brady. The result was an exciting game.
Tom Brady has a collection of Super Bowl jewelery so don't weep for him. Peyton Manning, on the other hand, has finally rid himself of the "he can't win when it counts" albatross from his back. He shared this burden with coach Tony Dungy. Jon Gruden won his Super Bowl using Tony Dungy's Tampa Bay team.
Dungy will join his dear friend, Lovie Smith, coach of Da Bears in Miami. It will be the first time in NFL history, two brothers will face off in in the Super Bowl ensuring yet another historic event. The winning coach will have brown skin. Both are talented coaches who have earned their place in history.
It is not the Eagles but I can live with Dungy collecting a ring. Today is a good day for football.

Da Bears are returning to the Super Bowl for the first time in 21 years. The so-called game against the Saints was just awful.
So far the first half of the Colts versus the Patriots is not much better......

Don't let the door hit you in the ass, T.O.
The 'Boys crashed and burned last night. Before the HazMat team could clean up the wreckage, T.O. felt compelled to share with the world, quarterback Tony Romo was sobbing in the locker room. Was that really necessary?
If you are T.O. it is...
Only by leading this franchise to a Superbowl will stop the thought loop of the fumbled perfect hike.
As Seattle's coach, Mike Holmgren pointed out in his post game press conference, a short field goal is a pretty routine play.
Why was Romo the holder? He was the backup quarterback at the beginning of the season. This is part of the job description.
Until last night he was part of a near perfect field goal unit.
My heart aches for Romo. He is a young quarterback and may never recover from that play. He doesn't have the next week to exercise this nightmare. He has to wait an entire off season.
However, Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys gets exactly what he deserves. He brought in T.O., who became a major distraction.
From his Lance Armstrong imitation to his failed alleged suicide attempt, it was all T.O. His future contracts should come with the OSHA mandated MSDS labels.
Romo did not cost the Cowboys their season, Jones did. BOOOOOOO
