Since the NFL Draft looms in less than two weeks, I thought I would get cracking on the Michael Lewis book, "The Blind Side". I only got the book for Christmas. Anyhow, it is the story of how left tackle has become the second highest average paid position, behind quarterback, in the NFL. It closely follows the fascinating life of Michael Oher, currently playing tackle at Ole Miss.

It is a great read and I recommend it highly. It is on par with "Moneyball", the baseball masterpiece from Lewis.

Do you know someone besides Leo, who was on the Titanic? Now you can find out all about them.

Kurt Vonnegut died this past week. I like how he finished a short stint at Sports Illustrated.

If you wanna see that Ray Liotta movie, "Slow Burn", run. It bombed. I saw the previews and decided it may be the most WTF movie released this year. BTW, this is another one that sat on the shelf. From 2003, for cryin' out loud. April is becoming the new August or maybe the old January.

So, it's finally Chelsea and Manchester United to open up the new Wembley Stadium for the FA Cup on May 19. Must find someone willing to serve alcohol and show soccer at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday.

None, it's a Sunday without snow.
