“We All Scream for Ice Cream”

Let me tell you something I enjoyed about the NCAA Basketball tournament besides the games, the commercials. I especially enjoyed the Capital One commercial featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee and Charles Barkley.
In a 30-second commercial those three are sitting in a car together headed to the tournament site, San Antonio. Charles says he is excited to be able to visit the “A La Mode”. Jackson corrects him by saying, “Charles, it is Alamo.”

Just because you live near-by is no reason

Those of you who know me, I mean really know me, will recognize what I am going to write here as sincere. Some, who don’t know me as well, will think I am just being a smart aleck but that is the way it goes.
I feel sorry for people who live in an area and back the local professional and college franchises simply because they live where they do. Note that I referred to colleges as franchises because in major college sports today, especially basketball, that is what it is.
