NFL Football Season Opened... yawn

Ten, HUBBA HUBBA, burning Questions for the 2008 NFL Football Season,
reveiw of Friedman, by Pat Darnell

Wow, did you see that ending ceremony of the Beijing Olympics? I can't get that firework show out of my head.

You know when they gave the stage to Obama, Barack right after his nomidi-nation? They were shooting off flares and little Roman candles.... like Kiss pyrotechnic stuff. I was embarrassed to watch it. It was the most childish thing I had ever seen televised. After witnessing the Beijing summation's and celebrations, I never want to see fireworks on television again.

I felt bad for Obama as he traipsed around the cheesy stage waving his hand high, confused and dazed from the phosphorous retina burns, looking for his family who were to come up with him, as the congregated 65,000 DNC delegates went ticker tape wild.

Obama's littlest daughter leaps into his arms, terrified. The little Obama family dwarfed in its precarious stumbling around during protocol slip ups and malfunctions, looked a bit dysfunctional themselves.

It was like when the child steps up to the can toss game on Bozo, and it goes badly for him. The little tyke needs encouragement even though he throws like a girl... WHAT? oh, sorry.... like an Orangutan; and his toss of the ball bounces off camera, and he is out on the first bucket miss. Boo hoo, makes me very sad. And the vacant, stubborn glare of the child's stage mother.

What is this blog about, Levon? What? Oh, yeah:

(JON FRIEDMAN'S MEDIA WEB 2008 NFL season preview: 10 burning questions Commentary: Look for Chargers-Cowboys in the Super Bowl) September 4, 2008

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah... the NFL Football Season has opened in the past week or ten days, and Brett Favre is in New York. Here's the ten most important pressing questions at NFL opening date, whenever it was:

1) Can the "Jints" repeat?
2) Will the Patriots suffer a post-Super Bowl hangover?
3) So, then, if the Pats and the Giants won't make it to the promised land, which teams will?
[SOURCE]
4) Will Favre lift the Jets to glory?
5) How will Aaron Rodgers do as Favre's replacement in Green Bay?
6) Can Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson supplant San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson this season as the best running back in the league?

7) Can Romo shake his label as an immature choke artist?
8) Can Bill Parcells work his magic in Miami?
9) Who will emerge as the most overrated player in the league?

10) Who is the best quarterback in his family, Eli Manning of the Giants or his older brother, Peyton Manning, of the Indianapolis Colts?

Earl Rudder High School, Bryan, Texas Opening Ceremonies

'The best of our values'

Before Anne Rudder Erdman attended the dedication ceremony for the school named in honor of her father Friday, she visited the cemetery where her parents are buried.

Erdman said she spoke to them about James Earl Rudder High School.

"They would have just loved it," the older surviving daughter of Gen. James Earl Rudder said Friday. Rudder High is built on values the former president of Texas A&M University lived by, she said, which makes the students and teachers there like family.

"It's just like our family has grown exponentially," she said.

Rudder High students, staff and administrators were on hand Friday afternoon as Bryan's second high school was dedicated in memory of the World War II hero. Rudder's four surviving children, along with U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards and several city officials, attended Friday's event.

Spectators crowded under the limited shade provided by the school awning, surrounded by Rudder's Rangers, an elite unit of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets named after Rudder's World War II unit.

Edwards, a friend of the Rudder family who received the Earl Rudder Award while at Texas A&M, told the crowd Friday that he hoped Rudder's values would inspire the families and teachers at the school.

"Earl Rudder High School is far more than this beautiful brick, glass and mortar, because a school represents the very best of our values as a community," he said. "We can never fully repay Earl Rudder for his combat service, but you honor him and his family by being good stewards of our children's future."

More than 600 freshmen and sophomores have enrolled in Rudder since it opened two weeks ago. Principal Hugh Piatt has named hallways after the Rudder's Rangers' values: integrity, dedication, perseverance and a commitment to success. He said the students have already bought into the values of the school.

"As you say it once, it's just a word to them," he said. "But they start hearing it on a daily basis, and somewhere along the way, hopefully, it clicks."

The school will expand one grade level each year. The $51 million facility will ultimately serve about 1,600 students.

Terry and Linda McFarland, who attended the event Friday, said the school offers their 16-year-old daughter a close-knit community with small classes.

"It's just a once in-a-lifetime, historic occasion," Linda McFarland said.

Her husband agreed: "We're just very proud of her and very proud to be at this school."
