XLII...

My favorite sports quote from Keith Olbermann has always been, "Super Bowl... it's a brand name, not an adjective." I hope it turns out to be a decent game. Prediction next week... I'm not watching SportsCenter as much this week, because I don't want to see all the hype and build-up to it yet. I'll be ready for it next Sunday around 6pm, with food in hand.

Today is one of those days where I'm just waiting... waiting for commercials to arrive, waiting for production rooms to open, waiting for lunch, and waiting for warmer weather.

Basketball's local regular season is almost over. Schuylkill League playoffs start February 5th.

Congratulations to Pine Grove's David Horst, who was drafted by Major League Soccer's Salt Lake City team. This area has had its fair share of pro athletes... I hope he succeeds.

About three weeks from now, Hollywood Casino at Penn National opens. Penn National Gaming is also mulling over buying an old airport in Atlantic City. I'm not sure how smart a deal that would be, considering that AC's revenues were down last year, thanks in part to Pennsylvania's new casinos. I can tell the AC casinos are hurting, because they haven't sent me any freebies in quite a while.

Buckle Up,
