American Idol: The 12 gals

Wednesday night, we were treated to performances by the 12 female finalists. The female field is a strong one. By far, the best performance of the night was that of Ramiele Malubay. I think she could go all the way. But I have to admit that Carly Smithson was a close second. I'm always entertained … Continue reading American Idol: The 12 gals →

American Idol: The 12 guys

Last night, we got a chance to see performances by the 12 male finalists, including Colton Berry, from Staunton VA. Colton may not be going home in Thursday's results show, but he wasn't the best performer of the night. For me, the best one was Jason Yeager. The theme of the night was 1960s music … Continue reading American Idol: The 12 guys →

American Idol Season 7: The final 24

The American Idol field has been whittled down to the 24 finalists. I have to admit that I've been a bit busy over the past few weeks so I haven't seen most of these folks perform, except brief clips on last night's show. There is a rocker girl and at least one rocker guy, so … Continue reading American Idol Season 7: The final 24 →

JJ Dinner wrapup

I got to Richmond around 4pm, only to find that Broad Street had become something of a parking lot! After circling the block, I managed to find the entrance to the parking garage and headed over to pick up my press credentials. (I already had my dinner pass.) Once inside, I took a look at … Continue reading JJ Dinner wrapup →

As I was getting dressed this morning around 8:30, I had the local news on and saw a live report from Indian River High School regarding the rally with Bill Clinton. The line was already around the building, even though the doors were not scheduled to open until 9. I arrived just before the doors … Continue reading Clinton Rally in Chesapeake →

Unbelivable! Giants win

The New York Giants completed the upset of the year by defeating the New England Patriots, 17-14. Unbelivable. Proof that pressure on Tom Brady works. I expect Giants QB Eli Manning will be was named MVP. Peyton, watching from the box and winner of last year's Super Bowl, was estatic. UPDATE: In case you missed … Continue reading Unbelivable!

Super Bowl XLII: My pick

vs The New England Patriots face the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII in Arizona Sunday. The Patriots bring their undefeated record against the surging Giants, who are playing their best football of the season. Nevertheless, I predict that the Patriots will win this game, by at least 10 points. And I predict Tom … Continue reading Super Bowl XLII: My pick →
