REX RYAN THINKS HE IS A GREAT HEAD COACH

Apparently Rex's recent lap band surgery success has made more room for his massive ego. Rex you ever hear Bellechick or Couglin say they are great? Me neither.  And they have rings! Somebody told me once that SELF PRAISE STINKS, or something.

THE US OPEN CONCLUDES ON FATHERS DAY

This Sunday concludes the one tournament where the pros resemble me in the world of golf. Here's hoping no one finishes under par and we have a great duel on Sunday.

GOVERNOR CHRISTIE TOOK MY ADVICE

It's nice to know that the Governor reads my blog and he did the right thing by naming a fellow Republican to replace the late Senator Lautenberg,  No big deal Gov, I am here whenever you need me.
