Chris Botti contest

Monday, Feb, 10 2014

Listen to the WHBY Morning Show this week to qualify to win tickets to Chris Botti, Saturday night at the Weidner Center. I will have songs that have the word "love" in the title. I will play you a few seconds of the song, and you have to name the title! Remember, I've already given you one word: love!

Also, it is supposed to be about -14 Tuesday morning, with wind chills about -30. We'll have any school-related announcements as well.

Super Dud

Tuesday, Feb, 4 2014

Sure, Super Bowl 48 was a snore. Had a bad feeling for Denver when the opening snap landed somewhere near the Hudson River.... Wow, as much as I like Peyton Manning, he just looked...old.

Now, we go down the familar road of considering Seattle as a dynasty-in-the-making. No doubt that they have a lot of peices in place, with a ton of young guys. But, it's hard to keep all of those studs in place from year to year. And, stay healthy, don't lose numerous coaches to other teams, and don't forget that one of the best teams in football, San Fran, is in your division.

Green Bay could get back to that level, but the defense has to improve. Injuries happen, but look what GB managed a few years ago with a ton of players on injured reserve. A solid draft, some savvy trades or free agent plucks, and you could be back in the mix next year. Bring on the OTA's!

Just some thoughts!

Thursday, Jan, 16 2014

So, the Oscar nominations come out this morning, and I realize that I have yet to see most of these movies! I hear great things about American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave, so they're up next.

Tomorrow on the morning show I will finally decide who I think wins the NFL Championship games this weekend. Wow, both of these games could be really tight! Omaha!

Amazing how fast you can go through icemelt when you're starting to run low! I'm out and have had little luck finding any....

Gearing up for the Red Smith Sports awards banquet on Tuesday night. More on this blog by Tuesday, when all of the celebs, coaches and more will descend on Appleton...can't wait!!

Thanksgiving Day

Tuesday, Nov, 26 2013

Thoughts on Turkey Day....

We always get a bird that I'm not sure is big enough, but it always makes it! I know some people don't care for leftovers, but I love them. Especially turkey and gravy...just don't overdo it!

Packers and Lions at 11:30 on WHBY. Should be about right, since we normally attack the bird at about 2:30, 3.....Then, your post-meal nap kicks in right about halftime of the Cowboys game.

We have a tradition of giving our dog, Bailey her own mini-plate of turkey. Nothing else--just some shredded slices of the bird. She loves it--about sets a record inhaling it in seconds.

The basic menu this year appears to be: turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberries, green bean casserole and butter rolls. Yum!

Have a great Thanksgiving!
