And the Hits....

I do not believe I have ever posted thrice in a day. Regardless, I would be negligent if I failed to highlight a huge boxing event taking place tomorrow on the under-card of the Cotto fight at The Garden. Philadelphia's own Mike Jones is facing Sebastian Lujan,an Argentinian welterweight. They battle for the IBF No. 1 spot.

Mike Jones is 25-0 with 19 KO's. I believe I have seen 17 of those wins live. I have met Mike. He is a great kid....good father....hard worker and very likable on all levels. I fervently hope Jones gets the "W" and is then positioned for a World Title shot shortly after that. It is great to see Philly fighters on the big stage. Go get 'em Mike.

By the Way

I neglected to mention...or was trying to forget...that The Eagles are an embarasment to the great City of Philadelphia and it is clearly time for this man to explore other options. 31-14 loss to the damn Seahawks...who entered the game 4-7...sheesh...right after last week's blow-out by the Patriots. "Time's yours."

Stocking Stuffers

It is December and I noticed on my drive to the office that XM radio has now switched one of the Classical Stations I like to Holiday Pops. For me,some calming Baroque favorites from Corelli or Teleman while fighting traffic in the morning is preferable to my usual diet of Stones,Allman Brothers or Elvis Costello.

Too early for me to start listening to Christmas music...but it casused me to think about gifts,gifting,and ammo. Now the Magi were not packing Benelli .12 Ga. Semi Auto's when they arrived...but pictured above is a fine shotgun shell for them if they were. If there is a Waterfowler in your life...these shells make a great stocking stuffers. I have stated in prior posts that regular steel shot hits "like a schoolgirl"...which at some North Phila. High Scools is actually damn hard. However, when you are hoping to drop a Mallard or Black-Duck at first light from your favorite blind...it helps to have better shells for your shooting. I have found this Hevi Shot to have great pattern and power....much better than regular steel shot.

The boxes may stretch out the hosery hung by the chimney with care...but the recipient will be thrilled.

Lehigh v. Towson

Saturday rapidly approaches. My alma mater faces off against the Towson Tigers in I AA/FCS Football playoffs. With the talented Chris Lum taking the snaps,this Lehigh team has a solid chance of beating the ACC Champs....to show again that the Patriot League still has talent,balls and brains...I will not prattle on again about scholar-athletes...I did that in a prior post. But there is something refreshing about knowing the Linebacker who just administered a rib crunching tackle is also a 3.3 GPA Finance Major or a 2.9 GPA Chemical Engineering Major. In last year's Playoffs, Lehigh got smoked by a much larger Univ. of Delaware team and suffice it to say, many of their kids looked like they were struggling with their Wallet making curiculum. No hunting this weekend but geared up for this game! Go Engineers. GO LEHIGH.
