Last night the Oklahoma City Thunder played and lost game six of the first round of the NBA playoffs.  The Lakers won by one point when Pau Gasol assisted a missed shot by Kobe Bryant with one half second left on the clock.  It was a heart breaking loss but at the same time it [...]

More AP Bias

Dec 14, 2008 Posted Under: Personal, Sooners, bias, journalism, opinion, politics, sports

You may remember that I posted just last week about how irrelevant the AP is in reporting just about anything.  I took a screenshot of Yahoo’s News this morning where it posted an AP story about Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford winning the Heisman Trophy last night.  As you can see in the photo above it [...]

The AP is Completely Irrelevant

Dec 02, 2008 Posted Under: Sooners, bias, opinion, sports

Something that really gets on my nerves is the way people refer to the  football national champion as though it can be split.  They say this referring to the Associated Press (AP) poll and the Bowl Championship Series (BCS).  The give the AP way too much credibility.  The BCS is the true measure of a [...]

Sunday loves cooking and I must say that my huge belly is a reflection of that.  She has this large dinner planned this evening and the eggs above were just the first thing she prepared.  She is such a blessing as she does so much for our family.  Yesterday my sister inlaw and her daughter [...]

Oct 18, 2008 Posted Under: Sooners, opinion, sports

In about a week (March 4) Oklahoma City will be having an election to extend a one cent sales tax to renovate the Ford Center and build an NBA practice facility.  This initiative will not increase taxes but rather extend one that is already there for 15 months.  This date has been strategically picked to [...]

Today’s Stuff – February 20, 2008

Feb 20, 2008 Posted Under: NBA, Oklahoma City, Personal, sports

This week I turned on the satellite Dish Network receiver on a couple of occasions and received a message telling me that if I want to avoid an extra charge on my bill that I need to keep both receivers plugged into the phone jack.  I kept verifying the plug was installed and it was [...]

Sooners’ inconsistency

Oct 21, 2007 Posted Under: Sooners, sports

I am no different than most Oklahomans that were so impressed with the Oklahoma Sooners football team.  The first four games of the year they scored an average 61 points per game.  They seemed unstoppable and destined for a national championship.  I too was dismayed at the national media not giving them the star attention [...]
