....Congratulaions to the San Fransisco Giants!....not only did they win the World Series and therefore are now world champions, they did so via a four game sweep of a Detroit Tigers lineup that is chalk full of good hitters.....that is an impressive accomplishment if I do say so myself!....I watched my fill of NFL action over the weekend as well....Dallas just cant catch a break....Kansas City is already looking forward to next year.....Peyton continues to roll in Denver....The Bears are proving to be an NFC powerhouse this year.....The suprise this year so far in the NFL?....would have to say either Minnesota....or Indianapolis......I would have to say both so far have exceeded expectations.....but then again the season is only half over so we will see .....thank you for stopping by as always!

...Game one is in the books......Giants cruising to an 8-3 win.....and in the process they really roughed up Verlander which was pretty suprising.....if you are a Detroit fan I would not panic just yet....It is only one game.....and as we all know you have to win 4 in order to claim your championship trophy so to speak....very good chance I will have someone from Saving Abel on today's show!.....speaking of which only a couple more days till they do their acoustic set at Thunderbird Bowl and that is gonna rock!!....I will also be at Rusty Eck Satruday from 1-3p and Pleasures on Saturday night! Hope to see you out and about soon.......Rick

....According to many fans who have seen them as well as critics alike, Aerosmith has delivered nothing short of "killer" and "outstanding" sets on the first leg of their Global Warming tour....words used to describe have been "jaw dropping'...."epic rock moments"...."a wonder to behold"......and they are going to be here on November 11!!!! Todd and Tyler in town this weekend and of course we are not only excited about that, but we are also stoked about Thunder hocky returning this weekend!!....I do hope to see you out and about very soon!

...I was definitely saddened to see Derek Jeter get injured over the weekend....and I was saddened not merely because I am a Yankees fan.....i was saddened because of what it is that he stands for and what he has accomplished.....Baseball, reguardless of it's ups and downs, is the one consistent thing we can always count on....it's tradition and rich history so appealing to even the most nonchalant sports fan...when you talk baseball with people you will often find those who are like me,,,,,die hard true fanatics for america's past time.....people who LIVE to sit in the stands at the ballpark on a summer afernoon.....you will also often find people who are not nearly as big of fans of the sport, yet still manage to somewhat keep up with it....and you will find those who simply are not fans of it....and have no desire to be...due to numerous things ranging from bloated salaries to players using phds to simply just not liking baseball,,,,finding it unappealing...(it happens...as difficult as that is for me to understand it defiinitely happens lol),,,,,,,What makes Derek Jeter so unique isn't what he has accomplished on the field....I mean don't get me wrong it's hard to argue with his numbers....but instead it is what he represents in an era of disillusionment. and "me me me" athletes.........he leads by example and rarely if ever will you ever hear him complain or play the blame game...that simply is not his style....he is often referred to as what is "right" about baseball and deservingly so....I have seen him play half a dozen times in person if not more...other Yankee players respect him.....I know so because I have seen it first hand....they respect him because through his leadership he has earned that resect....if you ever get a chance to see him play in person just take a minute or two and watch him when he is on the field...posted at short stop...do so and you will notice how keenly aware he is of EVERYTHING going on on that field....he knows oposing hitters often better than they know themselves.....he knows the strengths and weaknesses of every player that makes it to base....he knows how likely they are to steal....to hit and run.....or pull one down the line.....again I have seen it first hand....he is one of the last true ball players....and that is why I was saddened to see him get injured and have to leave the game he loves....even though I know he will be back next year....it still smarts. thank you for stopping by!

.....Ok....just to be fair.....I can not let today go by without saying once again.....WHAT A GREAT FINISH LAST NIGHT IN NY!!!!.....I realize my Yankees lost....but it was still an outstanding game that went into extras....and it would be unfair of me to only mention these types of things when the Yankees win.....so congrats to Baltimore for a huge win last night.....comming down to game 5...and as a baseball fan I couldnt ask for anything more!!!!....I can not believe it is already Friday....this week just blasted by!!....I will be at Pleasures tomorrow night so please feel free to stop by.....also will be out tomorrow morning signing people up for a chance to hang with Aerosmith!!!! I do hope to see you soon........Rick

.....I had no idea it would go to extras.....and WOW what a finish!!!! Granted I am biased being a Yankees fan and all.....but any baseball fan would have to admit that finish last night in NY was storybook to say the least....that is what i LOVE about baseball.....I mean think about it.....yesterday afternoon only die hard Yankee fans could tell you who Raul Ibanez was.....late last night he became a household name instantly when he hit not one....but two dingers in back to back at bats and single handedly lifted the Yankees over the Orioles in extra innings.....it was magical...and I for one will NEVER forget it....it's moments like that which define baseball and make it America's past time.....I will be out and about this weekend including my Saturday night stop at Pleasrues so I do hope to see you out and about as well!!

.....Matt Cassel so far has been anything but the answer for the KC Chiefs....there is no doubt about that fact.....does that, however, justify the actions of the hometown fans in KC this past Sunday?....I mean booing him when he is down with an injury?.....Even one of the Chief's linemen commented on it during the postgame......and my thoughts on it go as follows......They were not booing Matt Cassel....I will say it again....they were NOT booing Matt Cassel.......what Kansas City fans were booing was a ton of different things that had culminated....not the fact the Matt Cassel was injured...they were showing disdain for years of dealing with a front office who seems bound and determined to neglect the on field product.....they were booing the fact that the Chiefs haven't competed for ten years now....they were booing the fact that it was sad to see Kansas City go from one of the absolute most electric places to be on Sunday afternoons to ......empty seats everywhere. They were booing the fact that Arrohead stadium which at one time years ago was a place opposing teams were intimidated by...a place that was so energetic .... a place that was once the loudest stadium in the league....has become a welcome mat for opponents looking for an easy win....they were booing the fact that ownership has shown little desire to turn things around....or even remotely deal with the culmination of these particular issues......I have been to Arrowhead and the fans there are outstanding people,,,,they are not "classless" nor are they "bad" people....they are just fans of good football and want it to return to the mighty confines of their beloved stadium..

....So last night I was flipping back and forth between Sunday Night football and the MLB playoffs..... New Orleans taking on San Diego in a classic NFL matchup and my beloved Yanks doing battle with Baltimore in a classic MLB matchup......i basically programmed my remote to be able to flip back and forth with the touch of one button.....both contests went down to the wire...Drew Brees breaking Johhny Unitas's consectutive game with a td pass record......and breaking the hearts of Charger fans nationwide as he squeaked out a win against San Diego......the Yankess meanwhile finallly came alive in the top of the ninth and scored some runs to put away Baltimore in game one of their series......Baltimore is hot right now and if I were in a Yankees uniform the VERY LAST thing I would do is take the Baltimore Orioles lightly.....getting one win from them is one thing,,..getting three out of five on the other hand.......College football in full swing as well.....K State STILL unbeaten!!...Like I said......what better time to be a sports nut???? thanks for stopping by.....Rick

....I watchted last night's presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney,....well at least I watched most of it...to be honest I was flipping back and forth between it and the Yankees game....but I did watch a generous portion of it...I am not going to take sides on this and I am going to remain unbiased with the direction of this particular blog.....that being said....and again, I am by no means taking a particular side....as nothing more than a mere onlooker I would have to say Romney seemed to come off more prepared and more at ease with it.....President Obama is an outstanding orator and suprisingly he looked a little off his game last night....and completely in his defense I will say this....he has what I would consider one of the most difficult jobs on the planet....I do not envy him nor would i even remotely have any desire to hold his position...and it is only round one....there are still a couple more to go so who knows whats gonna happen in November...anyways I do hope you are having a good Thursday....Buckcherry in town tonight!!!!!!

....Tomoorrow night President Obama and presidential candidate Mitt Romney will square off in what will be the first of three debate sessions....the main reason I mention this is because I believe the impact of the 2012 presidential election will be nothing short of historic....I mean once can argue that they are all historic to some degree...and that would be correct....however it seems to me as though this particular election is going to be more impactful than any previous....primarily because of the amount of out and out differentiation between the two ideologies represented by these campaigns......regardless of which side of the aisle you are on, you have to admit these two candidates vastly differ in direction.....will be interesting to see how it turns out!....thanks for stopping by........Rick
