One Shining Moment

I’m a little late posting this. But I try to post “One Shining Moment” by Luther Vandross on my blog every year.

Here is the 2018 version of the NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness.

Time of My Life

I wasn’t really into watching the Super Bowl this year. But I watched it and this was by far my favorite commercial.

My nephew, Brad and niece, Pam did this dance at each other’s wedding last year.

And who knew Eli Manning could dance?

It All Started With This Show

When I first started this blog, my first posts were about Dancing with the Stars. Now season 24 is about to start. 

So like I’ve done in the past. I will post all of the stars and their partners. 

Then I will be my early-bird pick to win the mirror trophy. And who I think needs to be voted off first. 

Throughout the season, I will post me mini-review of the show and my favorite song(s) from the night. 

So, here’s to Season 24.

Super Bowl LI

The New England Patriots are kings of the NFL once again after beating the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in Super Bowl LI.

Now, I’m not a fan of either team, but the Patriots winning again is impressive. 

And Tom Brady winning five rings,you can’t deny that he is one of the best QB’s ever. 

NFL Hall of Fame 2017

The NFL Hall of Fame class of 2017 was announced over the weekend. 

Running back LaDainian Tomlinson leads the pack of inductees. He will be joined in Canton, Ohio, by running back Terrell Davis, quarterback Kurt Warner, defensive end Jason Taylor, kicker Morten Andersen, safety Kenny Easley and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. 

I’ve watched most of these former players play. I’m glad to see kicker Morten Anderson make it. 

I Smell Cake*

One of the most entertaining sports reporter past away the other day — Craig Sager.

Craig Graham Sager, Sr. (June 29, 1951 – December 15, 2016) was an American sports reporter, covering an array of sports from 1981 until the year of his death for CNN and its sister stations, TBS and TNT.

Sager is best-known for his work as a sideline reporter pacing the floors of the National Basketball Association for The NBA on TNT, in which he received his first Sports Emmy Award nomination in 2012. A natural entertainer, Sager was famous for his outlandish choices in clothing — an immense array of sport coats and suits ranging from the garish to the ghastly. Sager rarely wore the same spectacularly ugly outfit twice, with one reporter investigating the population tallying 137 jackets before giving up — other uncounted closets scattered throughout Sager’s house. He was a 2016 inductee of the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. (From Wikipedia.com)

I always enjoyed watching him on the sidelines at the basketball games on TV. And I saw parts of his speech he gave when he was awarded the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the 2016 ESPY Awards show for battling cancer.

The sports world lost one of its greats.

R.I.P.
