I didn't get to enjoy the New Orleans Saints victory for to long this week because of an injury to one the teams top receivers.  I saw yesterday on ESPN that he want be marching into Washington this weekend when the team takes on the Redskins.  He most likely want be marching for 4 to 6 weeks which is going to be tough but I think the team has some wideouts who can step up and fill in the gap.  The NFC looks like it might be stronger than I expected this year and will be fun to watch and I think the Saints who have improved on defense can compete with anybody and make a deep playoff run. Don't worry Marcus the team will hold it down while you are out!

It was December 07 Big Blue was heading into a bowl game against the heavy favorite Florida Gators.  But what most didn't know unless you were a fan of the Big Blue is that they were loaded on office and they were healthy.  Long story short Michigan beat Florida pretty good in there own state which made it a home game for them.  Les go back a few weeks or not.  I was happy to hear that Michigan had hired Les Miles a Michigan man who knew the program and how to win only to find out it wasn't true.  Then possible candidates names began to swirl around and the name Rich Rodriguez came up and I saying no way.  Here is a team that runs a pro-style offense talking about hiring a run heavy spread offensive coach.  Next the unthinkable happened Rich was announced as the next head coach of my beloved wolverines.  Trouble began to follow almost immediately when accusations arose of Rich destroying player files and owing his former team West Virginia $4 million dollars.  Now the most winning football program ever and one of the cleanest was in the news for all the wrong things.  The new coach meets with the team and after the meeting two good receivers bolt to the NFL, top rated qb transfers, and a talented offensive lineman transfers to of all places The Ohio State.  Did they knew what I was thinking all along that Rich wouldn't have them in his offensive scheme or that he wouldn't adjust to the talent he would have.  Well the first game was last week and needless to say things went just like I thought they would he chose to run a offense that he has no players with the talent it takes to run that style offense.  This guy till thinks he is a West Virginia with his talented running QB Pat White but he needs to wake up and smell the roses (he probably don't know anything about the rose bowl).  The qb's he has may be ok passers with work but they will never be runners (no speed) but that's ok just run the pro-style offense which everyone on the team was recruited for and win some games like Big Blue is used to.  As a fan I'm very disappointed and I really feel for those players who committed to UM and the pro-style offense that they knew would highlight there talent and they would be successful in that offense.  There should be a clause in an athletes scholarship that says if there is a change in head coach during there stay at a school not only can they transfer but would be allowed to play immediately and not have to sit out a year.  I really think the guy can be successful at UM once he gets recruits that can run his style offense but he should wait till next year to run it.  If he don't get things turned around quick he may just well be back in the news for all the wrong reasons again such as losing the little brown jug (if he knows what that is), losing to The Ohio State, and biggest of them all no bowl for the program with the longest bowl streak.  Congrads Rich and right now the answer is yes for your pocket (UM footed a big chunk of his buyout) but a big NOT for your game plan this season.  Please make me eat my words in my next blog on UM.  Thank!

I was on a fellow KW agent website and saw this picture and I just had to use it.  I was in Las Vegas back in July for the first time and I really enjoyed it.  My wife said it was the best vacation she every had.  There is so much to do and so many attractions to see and visit.  If you have not been yet you may want to put Las Vegas on your calendar for vacation.  I look forward to going back!

Well day number two didn't go so smooth because of a bad decision I made.  Oh don't look down on me too bad you problem have mad a bad decision or two before as well.  I was out by the pool with my wife and decided to ______ boy was that a mistake.  I have been paying for it all day with mainly silence from her and pretty much ignored.  I never want to do anything to hurt her and just hate that her second day in Vegas was not the best because of a bad decision that I made.  I have apologized and we will see how it goes from here.  Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

Well I have made it to Vegas and the first thing I did when I got here was _____.  After that I went over to the ______.  Oh let me tell you I enjoyed that but it didn't top ______.  There is so much to do I'm trying to figure out my next move.  I know what I will do I'm going over to the ______ which should be fun.  What happens in Vegas stays in ______!

I will be leaving for Vegas in less than 24 hours and I would like to know what are some must do's in Vegas?  I will be there 6 days and would like to enjoy each and everyday.  I prefer you start with "free" recommendations if there are any and then build up from there to things that are not free.  I wish the game the 2008 U.S. Men's Basketball Olympic team was being played on tomorrow rather than today I would have loved to been there.  This will be my first trip to Las Vegas and I'm looking forward to my visit there.

Ok all this talk about a mortgage rescue what does it really mean?  Someone help me out here can money save distressed homeowners?  Well I guess there are some who may have lost jobs or downsized but lets take a look at a bigger picture.  This country is driven by debt being in trillions of dollars of debt and we follow along that same path.  More than 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck (including me but I have woke up an smelled the roses and working to get out of the rat race) so guess what happens if someone loses a job or is downsized living paycheck to paycheck there will be no savings so a lot of what they thought they owned is took back not just the home.

Restructuring loans sounds very good but what will someone learn from mistakes when pain is intercepted.  I think a better choice for us is to bring light to anyone who is talking about being a better steward of the money and resources we have been entrusted with.  Dave Ramsey, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Apostle Ron Carpenter, Michelle Singletary, and many others who give sound advice on money management.  No one is taking the time out to see how people are losing or lost there homes instead opting to go for the quick fix.  We should have learn something from Hurricane Katrina when FREE MONEY was passed out but no education a lot of the time everything but the right thing was bought with those debit cards.  We can't leave out the most prized thing there is rather to be chosen over riches that thing is called Wisdom.  Whether we are running our businesses like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mack, Enron, or Walgreens we must be good stewards and make wise decisions or we will be out of business plan and simple but not easy because we will have to use discipline. 

I'm not saying these programs and ideas are bad I'm just saying before you give someone a driver's license you first need to make sure they can drive the car!  You can give someone who just went bankrupt millions of dollars but if you don't educate them not to make the same mistakes that did to go bankrupt guess what they will be doing sooner or later filling again!  Money cannot save you but WISDOM can.

What kind of football season do you think is in store for Michigan?  How many games will my beloved wolverines win this year?  Do you think they will go bowling?  I say they will be in the national title hunt and will no doubt make it to a bowl.  This team want have any pressure because nobody expects to much from them because they have 2 starters on offense and 4 on defense returning.  But don't miss this they do have a lot of returning players with game experience even though they may not have started.  Go Blue!

First of all for them to be as big as they are I have not heard about them until this week.  Are they the same as Wachovia and Bank of America?  I'm here in the south and I have not seen one unless I just have not noticed.  But correct me if I'm wrong when a player goes down will there another player in the wings waiting to pick up the slack.  Does the world revolve around Indymac?
