Spent the weekend in NY to celebrate 2 of our grandkids' birthdays ... after Mass on Sunday, I went to grandson #1's 'flag football' game ... He is 7 yrs old and it's his first year ... His father (our son ) is doing a really good job teaching the kids, getting them ALL involved (to the ridiculous dismay of some parents), AND their record is 3 wins, 2 ties, no losses ... great fun ...

... (deep radio voice) "Later that same day...
... As I have admitted to previously, I am a NY GIANTS football fan ... so I have a hard time EVER rooting for an NFC East opponent ... Sooo ... In the "2 & out" pool I'm a member of (you pick a different team each week until you've lost twice and are eliminated), I bypass the heavily favored Redskins and choose the GB Packers ... Farve gets them tied up and there's seconds left when the Vikings kick a 57 yard field goal to win the game ... a career best for the kicker ...
... The SD Chargers are beating the Hated Eagirls 17 - 13 and the Chargers are attempting a field goal to put them up by 7 ... the field goal gets blocked and the eagirls run it in for a touchdown to win the game ... PS: when is some opponent going to smack TO upside the head for his a-hole antics ?!?!???

BUT ... (deep radio voice..) "MUCH Later that same day ..." .. Eli shows that he is THE MANning by leading the GIANTS to 2 fourth quarter TDs (the second with 5 seconds left on the clock) to beat Denver !!! ....
