Sunday Seven: Episode #180

The Cardinals and the Steelers.

I just had to go ahead and say that, because there are a few close friends of mine — like Chip in particular — who would never believe that I’d actually know who was even playing in the Super Bowl today. (To be fair, under normal conditions, he’d be right.)

I’m not a huge sports fan, but sometimes even non-sports fans can really enjoy movies that involve sports in some manner. Yeah, by now, I think you know where this week’s topic is going!

Here’s a couple of lists of the most popular sports-related films. Note that not only are non-football films included, but some of the choices take a far more broad view of “sports” than I would have considered: The Karate Kid even makes one of the lists! So you’ve got more to work with than you might have imagined.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:Name your seven favorite sports-related films.
Oh, my... I don't usually watch stuff like this, but let's see...

1. The Greatest Game Ever Played
2. Heaven Can Wait
3. Animalymipcs
4. A League of Their Own
5. The Black Stallion (it's a stretch)

Now I need to look at those lists...

6. Caddyshack
7.

I'm done. I'm completely out of ideas...

I found out who wa-- is in the StupidBowl yesterday morning, talking to my father - I asked him who was in it... I'd no idea. I usually don't, unless someone mentions it to me. I have little interest in that or any sports, except the Olympics.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
