2014 was a magnificent year for high school sports in San Pedro, and there was plenty to be excited about for most programs at San Pedro, Port Of Los Angeles and Mary Star High…

My thoughts for December 28, 2014

Where did it all go so fast; 2014 that is?  It was just January, now it’s the end of the year.  Many events have taken place.  We have lost a lot of good people, and football has been as exciting as ever.  Just today my beloved Seattle Seahawks beat the Saint Louis Rams in an exciting game.  Did my ole heart a lot of good. 

Some memorable events for the year were the loss of Malaysia Flight 370, enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing,…

When I was young and foolish many, many years ago I got a hand full of Cuban cigars.  Those of you familiar with Cuban cigars, therefore know, I got a hold of one of those big babies.  Yep, thought I was hot stuff.  Pulled out a blow torch and lit the darn thing. Showed everyone what it was to be a man. Fifteen minutes later, I was totally sick to my stomach, puking whatever it was I ate for dinner. 

So, you see, if I don’t seem excited about the…

Hey, that time of year is here again.  A time of year when we put Ferguson, EITs, and choke holds aside and extend goodwill (goodwill: a kind, helpful, or friendly feeling or attitude.) to everyone.   Yep, I’m talking about the Christmas Season.  Oops, I mean the Holiday Season.  By saying “Holiday Season” I’m showing goodwill towards everyone.  It’s politically correct to say “Holiday Season” and we all know how politically correct our political leaders…

My Rooney thoughts for December 7, 2014

Today was the day that exactly seventy-three years ago a great president said, “It was a day that will live in infamy.”   Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the day that the Land of The Rising Sun inadvertently awoke a Sleeping Tiger.  The Japanese viewed the bombing of Pearl Harbor as a necessary pre-empty strike necessary to ensure a victory for their country.  The return on their investment was as contradictory as their country’s…

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!!!…
