Mild Mannered Journalist

Category: , By GotDesign

Yeah, right! Don't you believe it.

But seriously, I start my Army career as a journalist tomorrow. I'll be covering a high school football event -- "The Border Bowl" -- in Williamsburg, KY for the KY National Guard. I'll be driving down to Williamsburg on Friday morning to cover the practices and interview some of the players. On Saturday, I'll be flying down with the Adjutant General for the KY National Guard -- Major General Edward Tonini. I'll be shooting the game as well as the various activities associated with the Border Bowl.

The Border Bowl is sponsored by the National Guard. High School seniors from eastern Kentucky and eastern Tennessee submit applications for selection to the Kentucky or Tennessee teams. Last year, over 400 high school seniors applied. In last year's contest, Tennessee beat Kentucky 23-13.

Once it's said and done with, I'll post some of the photos and tell you all about it.
 

Super Bowl

Disclaimer: I am generally disinterested in most major league sports in the U.S. Baseball -- juiced, who cares. Basketball...uhhhh. Football... I'm sorry, what'd you say? Just don't care.

I loved last night's Super Bowl! That was an exciting football game! And on top of it all, I enjoyed watching the underdogs -- NY Giants -- when at the very end of the game. WOW! A touchdown pass with only 35 seconds remaining in game! WOW!

The Giants' defense was all over Tom Brady like a cheep suit. Tom Brady was covered in cheep , polyester plaid. And Eli Manning just did a great job on keeping focused. And that tackle he shook off in the 4th quarter! Great job!

And the commercials, which is the reason I usually watch the Super Bowl, were excellent. In particular, I enjoyed the Planters Cashews, the Coke parade balloons, the Will Ferrell Budweiser ad, the FedEx carrier pigeons, and the Bridgestone tires' ads were hilarious!

Just thought I'd chime in.
