More interesting was the season attendance for the Rangers. Surpass 2.9 million in 2011. Another 40,000 Sunday and you would think 3 million will be very makeable in 2012. Kudos to Nolan Ryan and to Ron Washington as Texas improves their season record for a 5th straight year under Ron Washington.
'7 Days in Utopia' is a movie that I predict will be a great stocking-stuffer for the fan of the DVD. Robert Duvall stars in this movie with a message about persevering, overcoming, forgiving, and living in the moment. Fans of golf will definitely enjoy this 90 minute flick about one man's struggles with self and his game. Not exactly a high budget affair, but a great feel-good flick all the same. Note the cast of cameos from the PGA...
That said, there are a couple of games that I believe absolutely SCREAM locks for the week. The biggest one in my opinion is the mismatch in San Diego Sunday with the Chiefs. I will not be surprised if Todd Haley gets the can after this game if the Chiefs fail to show up for a 3rd straight week and allow a 40 spot. Lamar Hunt no doubt is getting mad within his grave.
No one remembers that Johnny Unitas ended his career in San Diego, or Emmitt Smith in Arizona, or Modano in Detroit. As fans we choose to remember where our heroes shined the brightest on the team with the most longevity! Two decades of hockey first in Minnesota then Dallas made many a new fan. In his prime, Mike Modano was one of a kind. Great to his players and even greater in the community.
About 2 hours before showtime I asked one question of Karen Lucchesi. 'Any chance we can bring the trophy into studio?' She didn't skip a beat. How often does a team VP go to your studio and drop off a piece of hardwood and entrust you with it? That's pretty special.
