Time to play the Florida lotto folks...

Dolphins win.

Tampa Bay runs a kick back for a touchdown.

Dynasty!

Appalachian State University takes their third consecutive NCAA Division I National Championship with a 49-21 win over Delaware.

For the official record it is pronounced "App-a-Latch-an." ASU alums Jeff Paisley and my own trophy wife have earned bragging rights for yet another year.

Congratulations Mountaineers!

Media Fishing Quote of the Week

From a CBS Sportsline Article projecting what might be found in a sports almanac from the year 2057 listed under the heading Extinct Sports Leagues:

"Fishing For Pit Bulls (FFPB): Introduced in 2015, no one believed league founder Michael Vick that it was a good idea to stock lakes with pit bulls. Vick's excuse that he thought dogs could survive underwater for long periods of time fell on deaf ears. "

It's pronounced "App-a-latch-an"

This is the reason our beautiful wife will be impossible to live with for the next few days.

Media Fishing Reference of the week

This week finds an out of place fishing reference in Ed Hardin's article about our own Carolina Panther's draft day experience:

Playing its offseason strategy to the extreme, Carolina almost traded completely out of the first round of the NFL Draft after making no effort to trade up Saturday. While one league prospect went trout fishing and another flopped around like a beached trout, the Panthers decided this wasn't the day to go angling.


One of the benefits of having an office in uptown (it would be called downtown in any other city) Charlotte is our proximity to the Panther's practice field. On some days during the season you might just find us getting a few autographs on our lunch hour right beside the bad kids who are cutting school.
