This time of year has one huge meaning to me, March Madness. They will announce the brackets on Sunday, I can not wait. It seems that my team, Oklahoma State will make the field this year. I hope the Cowboys will make a long run this year. I will get in a few bracket contests this year I do every year but I never do very well on the brackets, I tend to go with my heart and not with my brain. Maybe this year I will use my brain instead of my heart. Go Cowboys!
It is with great joy that I blog about the Nashville Predators and the fact that when the free agent period opened July 1st they resigned Steve Sullivan and Joel Ward, I would not of thought that they would resign one of them let alone both. We did lose some key players and I know that they can be replaced at a cheaper rate and that is what makes the team work. I know they have to make money and I hope that we have a competitive team this year, I know I will be cheering them on again this year.
Today the city of Nashville lost a legend, Steve McNair was shot to death in his condo downtown and as the news comes out it is not pleasant. He had a young girlfriend who it seems from first reports shot him and then took her own life. A real tragedy for both families and for the city of Nashville, Steve McNair besides being a football legend here was a big part of charities her and in his native Mississippi, and will be missed by many for a very long time to be sure. I am a huge Titans fan and his loss means a lot to me and I too will miss his being around here in town.
It sure looks like the Nashville Predators will lose Steve Sullivan, I hope for the sake of the team that they find a way to resign him when the free agency period starts July 1st. I am not going to hold my breath but I see it as a good move for the team and for Steve Sullivan too. I admire his hard work in coming back form being on injured reserve for almost two years with a very serious back injury. I for one hope the Predators get this deal done and soon as possible too.
Like most Americans I love the into to the Monday Night Football games by Hank Williams JR, they are filming the shots for this year here in Nashville at the Parthenon downtown. I am going to go downtown and be at the shooting and I might just be in the opening of the Monday Night Football show this year. They film a lot of stuff around this area and I thought that Nashville was just known for music but it is a big film location too. Gloria Estefan will be there for part of the time for the MNF shooting and I think she is hot so maybe I am going to see her most of all.
