Leading the worst governor in Pa. history


Tom Wolf is running away from the field in the Democratic primary and is leading Gov. Clueless Corbett by 19 points. Wolf has produced some great political ads that he funded himself. Nothing is wrong with that, and that will probably continue for the next two months.
This is early, but it may continue and give him a shot at taking on "the worst governor of Pa. in the past century."

RIP Bobby Parsons: Joe Paterno’s worst personnel decision?

Image
Bobby Parsons could have been a great QB -- spent 12 professional years as a punter ... They had a 22-game winning streak to protect, but Joe chose the wrong QB He was a fabulous punter, but the Nittany Lion faithful were simply salivating about his taking over as QB of the Penn State football team. Entering the 1970 season, the Lions were protecting a 22-game winning streak, but they had lost some fabulous players to graduation.  Altoona’s Mike Reid, the All-American defensive lineman, and All-American linebacker Denny Onkotz, for starters.  However, they had a great nucleus coming back — including All-American linebacker Jack Ham — with some tremendous young talent.  If only Joe Paterno would start Bobby Parsons at QB.  And after the spring game that year, the fans were even more ecstatic about Parsons. He was the quintessential drop-back QB for the time, standing about 6-5 and weighing about 220. He could throw the deep ball, the short pass — he could ...

Climate concerns

Where will New York City be 50 years from now? America like a swan with its head in the sand I am not a scientist, but I know a problem when I see evidence of it. A few years ago, "60 Minutes," one of the few mainstream TV shows that I trust, showed a scary scenario. They took a location in the Arctic and showed what it looked like ten years before the show aired, and then they showed what it looked like on that day.  The difference was frightening. It was frozen ten years ago, but one decade later, it was just water rushing into the Atlantic Ocean.  The ice was gone. In that script, they mentioned that New York City will be submerged sometime in this century.  Some current stories are focusing on this. Here is a story and headline from last Nov. in "The Guardian," a British paper. "Major storms could submerge New York City in next decade." <http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/nov/16/climate-change-report-new-york-city> ...

This guy, Number 92, was the reason that the Steelers won their last Super Bowl

Image
James Harrison, 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, won that Super Bowl with 100-yard return … responsible for 14 point turnaround On paper, the Steelers should never have won their sixth Super Bowl, number XLIII. They were thoroughly outplayed offensively by the Arizona Cardinals, but the key play — and the MVP performance — occurred on the final play of the first half, not late in the game.  On that play, the Cardinals were on the 2-yard line, and 37-year-old QB Kurt Warner completely misread the Steeler defense. Dick LeBeau blitzed from the outside, and that put pressure on Warner. Warner flipped the ball on a short look-in but did not see Harrison. The rest, as they say, is history, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqnQwKAI4OE Why is that such an important play? Not only did Harrison intercept, the ball he returned it a record 100 yards for a Steeler touchdown.  At the time, the Steelers were leading, 10-7, and if Warner completes that for a TD, it would be 14-10 Cardina...
