  • Posting this week may be sporadic.
  • We didn’t feel any of the earthquakes in the area.
  • I thought the NBC crew was hyping NY Giant Odell Beckham Jr’s catching ability until he made the catch of the decade.  Last night Drew Pearson said, “If I had that catch in my highlight reel, I’d be in the Hall of Fame.” Sorry Drew, you even caught the Hail Mary and that still didn’t get you in, though you should be.
  • Jerry Jones and Jay-Z had a meet and greet last night.
  • Jason Garrett and NJ Gov. Chris Christie had a meet and greet last night.  Speaking of the redhead, I don’t think I’ve seen him so animated on the sidelines.
  • The blocking that Romo got on that last drive was incredible.
  • I can’t get enough of that Landry-shift victory formation.
  • I’ll always remember Bill Parcells saying there’s no reason a team shouldn’t win after the bye week because they have two weeks to prepare for one opponent.
  • I can’t find my smartwatch.  I know it’s in the house because when the battery was alive, it was connected by Bluetooth. It has the feature that would send an alarm to my phone if I couldn’t find my phone, but it doesn’t have a feature that works the other way around.  While in search for the watch, WifeGeeding did find my small digital camera that I use for most of my time-lapse projects, so that’s a plus.  That camera has been MIA for over a year and to my surprise the battery wasn’t dead.
  • Speaking of Bluetooth, the story behind the name and logo is actually pretty cool.  In short, it was created by Swedish company Ericsson and it honors its viking heritage.  Bluetooth is the anglicized name for the Danish king that was able to unite parts of Denmark and Norway into one nation, and the logo is a combination of the king’s initials.  Sidenote: That king was able to convert the Danes to Christianity.
  • Two sitcoms last week, ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Marry Me’, both centered around having a backup turkey.
  • Detroit will easily win another Super Bowl with the way they are taking care of the Bills.
  • RGIII’s special privileges taken away
  • I watched the NFL Network’s ‘A Football Life’ on Lyle Alzado and I had no idea he played for the Broncos and Browns, in my mind he was always a Raider.  I also had no idea he fought Muhammad Ali.  And here I thought Ed “Too Tall” Jones was the only pro-football player to give boxing a try.  I know Alzado blamed his brain cancer on steroid use, but there’s controversy behind that thought, and I’m a bit surprised the special didn’t touch the topic.
  • To avoid offending anyone, a California high school is changing their name from Arabs to the Mighty Arabs.
  • The best song I heard on one of the new classic hip-hop stations was N2Deep’s “Back to the Hotel”.   Here’s an article about the first classic hip-hop radio station that started in Houston last month.
  • Michael Che actually made it through a Weekend Update without flubbing anything.
  • Something I haven’t really thought all the way through – There should be a way to harness all that excess snow in places like Buffalo, melt it, and send it to areas in drought.  It wouldn’t take much to melt the snow, and it could be transported through some kind of water pipeline.
  • Rumors are Bono will take three months to recover from his injuries and the new tour will start in June.
  • 25 Colleges With The Worst Return on Investment – I only saw one Texas college on the list, Baylor.
  • 100-Year-Old Woman Sees The Ocean For The First Time
  • The Internet Helped A Model Save A Paralyzed Stray Dog She Saw Crawling On The Beach
  • Baby Survived Several Days In A Sewer After Being Abandoned
  • The Entire Bible Explained In One Facebook Post. This Guy Nails It.

    Drew's Hail Mary never had this cool pic, either. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3LK5b3IEAApuNE.jpg

    "It wouldn’t take much to melt the snow, and it could be transported through some kind of water pipeline."

    I've been thinking along the same lines. What if we replaced the Keystone XL pipeline with a pipeline that moves the water from the flooding that seems to occur every year during the Spring in the upper Midwest down to Texas.reservoirs. A week ago "60 Minutes" did a segment on the rapid depletion of ground water from the nations' aquifers. Many of the aquifers, such as California's Central Valley [where 25% of the nation's produce is grown] and the Ogallala Aquifer [America's Bread Belt} were filled during the Ice Age and cannot be replenished. When it's gone it's gone.
