Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 04, 2013

And then too there was the East vs West, Blue vs Grey, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl and various others. RIP.

And then the Packers won the first two Super Bowls….

I saw VanderKelen and immediately thought of “Newhart”.

This play ends in sudden death.

I believe it was Vince who said, “Winning isn’t everything, but losing isn’t anything.”

Enough nostalgia, when do we go sailing?

It seems all the sport just aren’t the same..Owners wanting stadiums for free, then lease the name to a corporation who did put much or any into the cost, (Busch Stadium is the exception)..Players give their best until they get the big contract, Pujols example..If you want to watch a game on TV, good luck..Tickets and stadium food it way too expensive.

So far, EVErYONE has missed the point of the ’toon !!

Finally…….THANK YOU, Susie !!

But, for those into sports nostalgia.

Vince must have been miserable to be around for a long time after that game!

Yep, our ears tune in what we want to hear, tune out what we don’t want to hear.Janis is a people person.Arlo, not so much

Winning isn’t everything, there’s also money.

The College All Star game was great – one of my fond childhood memories, just like Arlo. It sort of kicked off the football season every year. I think the All Stars wore the same uniforms, but the players wore their college teams’ helmets.

Arlo must be older than I. I was around in ‘63; but I sure don’t remember this game at all. But then, football wasn’t my game. As long as there’s horsehide in the air, it’s baseball season.

OMG, someone DOES remember those games! Thank you, Arlo (and Jimmy)! I say replace the Pro-Bowl game (it’s become a joke) with a re-take/renewal of All-Star College vs. All-Pro teams, under current woosie Pro-Bowl Game rules. No body gets hurt, ratings jump, everyone gets satisfied. THANKS AGAIN JIMMY!

In June there is an allstars football game here on Long Island. The NYC high school allstars against the Long Island high school allstars. (In this case LI is used as the modern term and does not include Brooklyn & Queens which are including in the geographic description of LI. They play for NYC.) It is run by the Boomer Easaison Foundation. Our rev war reenactment unit used to fire our cannon at the games.

Are those black high lights in Janis’ hair?
