Day 2 Still on Track

Well today is the 2nd of January. For most people their new year resolutions have already started to take some hits. For me, I am still doing good. This is one of the few years I didn't publicly announce my resolutions, I am just relying on myself to keep me on the right track. I can say I am still doing good.

As for my day was mostly uneventful. I will fill you in on a few of the observations I had, as well as some opinions I might have. First, I mentioned yesterday that I was trying the new cheesy bread from Domino's Pizza, well it was underwhelming. I think it was overcooked on the outside, and cheese was gooey on the inside, not exactly something that had much taste, and didn't help that they don't include dipping sauces with the bread. I also had a medium pizza as part of their two for $5.99 special, lets just say thank god I didn't pay anymore. I will interject here that I believe companies should not be able to advertise free delivery, if I can not order the same carryout special delivered to my house. If a large pizza is $7.99 carryout and $9.99 delivered, don't you really have a $2 delivery fee?

My day started like most others, woke up late, watched some television (mostly college football), and enjoyed lunch. I will say that the College Bowl Games (BCS) format drives me crazy. I just can't get into games that have ZERO meaning, other than the National Championship Game. I miss the days when bowls mattered. And this BCS system is irriating. I have said it on air and will repeat here, the College Football season is like a great movie with a terrible ending, whereas the College Basketball season is like a terrible movie with a great ending. What the College Football season needs is a tournament at the end. I propose an 8 team Bowl Championship Tournament. Take the BCS ranked teams 1-8 and have them play in 4 Bowl games on Christmas Day, the winners then play in two bowl games on New Years Day, and then one week later you have your Bowl Championship Game. We still keep the other 28 bowl games (35 total bowls most years), but we make these 7 really matter. This year we would have ended up watching on Christmas Day - (1) LSU vs (8) KSU, (2) ALA vs (7) Boise State, (3) Ok. State vs (6) Arkansas, and (4) Stanford vs (5) Oregon. That would have made for some great match ups, as well as some fun games on New Years, and the National Champion would truly have beaten the best then. If we used the BCS system for other sports, it would have been a Philly vs Yankees World Series, last years Super Bowl would have been Patriots vs Falcons, the system is flawed. Fix it.

Okay moving forward, I did spend the evening at my sisters, played brother in law some more Madden 12, he won tonight (I couldn't complete a pass). I also got to spend some time with nephew and niece. All in all it was a great New Years Holiday, as we took a 4 day weekend from the Sports Talk Radio show. I am looking forward to getting back there tomorrow, although uncertain of the future with the radio station. Our show is very good, but are stuck in a very bad market. We will prevail. Should know a lot more about what the future holds in near term. Stay tuned for more.
