Yes, the Bear is getting gentle vibes about a possible major victory in last night's OSCAR POOL! There is talk of a DYNASTY! Having not been informed of victory, we can only speculate on this evening but from the various results on ABC, many Bear picks marched to the stage to accept the "little fella" graciously!
It is interesting to note our home grown actors were clearly outclassed by the likes of Javier Bardem (Spain), Marion Coutillard (France), Daniel Day Lewis (Ireland), and Tilda Swinton (GB). Wow! You bet the Bear took the French bombshell. I am so tired of the Bushies and their followers down grading our allies from France. Sure their an independent lot but the newFrenchPrez has indicated: "He loves America!" Well Mr. President we "love you back as well as your past wife and your present spectacular beautiful spouse!" You've got something going big boy! And yes, thank you France for rescuing us during the American Revolution: "Vive la Lafayette!" I rented "French Kiss" with Kevin Kline today and am going to have some French Fries tonight! Emmmm!
What is alarming is the "hawkish" statement, all irrelevant, made yesterday and today about 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place "losers" who now want to "split the pot" and denigrate the winner's take!
Unfortunately that will have to come in the years to come but not the present. If you are familiar with the US Constitution, ex post facto laws are unconstitutional!
Even the blonde bombshell, seen at the Bear's Oscar gathering has come down on the spectacular winner of best actress. Many would have preferred the "washed out" McLain like
Alsheimer star Julie Christie but Edith Piat was sensational as portrayed by the vivacious Coutillard! Congrats also to the "makeup artists" from LaVie en Rose, who also gave the Bear a victory!
Most of all I want to give thanks to FDR (genuflect) whose great leadership in the 1930's gave us Social Security, whereby we have the $$$$, provided by you great youngsters of today, to allow the Bear to "make it to the moviehouses" all over the St. Louis area like the Tivoli, Plaza Frontenac, Ronnies (great memories of the old suck face Drive In Days), DePeres and other cinemas so he can make "good" choices on these many fantastic movies.
I still recommend that viewers take the time to see All Five of this year's nominated flicks as they were all very good.
Meanwhile, if we are lucky enough to emerge victorious AGAIN this year, we humbly accept our COMPLETE award!
So says the Bear on this post Oscar night getting ready to watch "Fashion Police" on E!

BOYS NIGHT OUT
Yes, while the St. Louis Cardinals and other baseball squads go thru their preparation for the 2008 season in Florida (wish I was there) and Arizona and baseball "Hot Stove Leagues" indicate their "wish lists" the "BOYS NIGHT OUT" fantasy baseball league of South St. Louis County and other nooks and crannies looms on the horizon.
On April 5th, the various owners and their associates, will congregate to draft their players.
This is a day, fantasy owners revere. Starting with the first pick at 9:00 AM, baseball players from every roster in the National League are "fair game" for these "eager beavers." This draft day continues until, well in the P.M. before each team has selected its 23 players.
The way is works is teams like our Blue Darts, Marauders, IBM Cards, Outlaws etc etc. etc will have $260 as their cap and will have to select 23 players at various positions, to make up their team. To be an owner, you really need to be well versed on the stats of great players, mediocre players and even some "bench warmers" While one player may garnish $50 or more (a stud, e.g.
Albert Pujols) many will go for $1. In order to win, you must project their stats in such catagories as Steals,RBI's, HR, Wins, ERA, etc.
So you prepare and buy every magazine on fantasy baseball (many many) and in early year, you start projecting your desired teams. Trades are offered in and out of season and the league is on-line and much information is provided which translates into many night and days of study. Its already started: Today received an E Mail from the MO Tigers, wanted to send Ryan Howard our way for Eric Byrnes (lots of SBs and HRs), Brandon Phillips (HR's and SBs) and Shane Victorino (Good avge and SB's). Well the answer was a resounding NO! Is it fun and must you know the territory, you bet! After all you just turned down a trade for the most prolific HR hitter out there today but to take him, you would have traded away SB, HR, and Avge. NO WAY!
Fantasy sports are huge, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, Racing, Golf, yes you can find a league to compete and once one becomes hooked, you are guaranteed to slavishly prepare your team for a winning season.
But beware, do not enter this hallowed ground before you know you will have to spend a goodly amount of your day, preparing to do battle with the enemy! One really neat outcome: You learn about the many players in the game you might not care about ordinarily and you become one hellova knowledgable fan of the game.
The Bear heartily endorses and can't wait for "Draft Day" to come around again this year. But you better be ready for the brilliant minds of the Hardways and Homeboys and a new entry The Tigers or else you could have a sad summer! THE BLUE DARTS FOREVER!

ST. LOUIS LOVES THEIR BLUES AGAIN!
Yes, its that time of the year when the greatest of spectator sports, I'm talking about the grand game of hockey is grandeloquent in its presentation. The Blackhawks, the Rangers, the Canucks, Canadians, Stars and of course our own St. Louis Blues are skating up and down the rink faster and with more reckless abandonment than ever. Why?
The NHL Hockey Playoffs are in sight! Yep, there is nothing like it in all of sports. Once the gauntlet has been thrown and the teams, ranking in the upper eschelon have gained entrance, the playoffs signal and even greater intensity among the hockey elite.
The Bear is an admitted "hockey nut." Its the only sport I have never really physically performed but as a spectator, its my opinion, its the tops! When one enters the world of the puck, you can only say, get ready for action! On Tuesday the St. Louis Blues battled their arch rival, the Chicago Blackhawks, the hated Chicago Blackhawks in a meaningful game here in St. Louis. The puck was dropped at approximately 7:00 and by 7:00 and one tenth seconds, Dan Hynote lit into a Hawk and they were both on the ice within seconds. The 19,000 fans went balistic knowing the Blues had sent a message. Guess what? The Blackhawks shortly after, scored the first goal of the game and the Blues trailed!
But more was to come and the St. Louis Blues put on one of their finest shows as they out hustled the Hawks in every nook and cranny of the rink and put together a blistering third period, leading to a 5-1 victory. Yes, the St. Louis Blues are back after a few years of sad and crowd displeasing hockey.
The Bear wants to congratulate Versus on its television of the games nationally. This has been the first really solid effort to attract hockey fans on TV and their doing a great job with solid announcers, well versed in this game (hard to announce a fast moving game like hockey) and on solid ice with stats, players and nomenclature.
But there is no better way to enjoy the game than to be there in person and feel the atmosphere of
a hard hitting, well played match. Some of my greatest moments were spent at the "old barn" on Oakland Ave watching our Blues vanquish their opponents and of course you have those Detroit and Chicago fans, sporting their sweaters, on hand to set off Blues fans. I'll never forget son Jimmy taking on Blackhawk loudmouths, during the playoffs many years ago, following a 2-1 sudden death victory for the Blues, while I raced for the men's room, hoping not to pee in my pants from holding it, as the game went on and on. Leave my seat: Hell no! There was son five, bloodied, but supported by the St. Louis police who hammered those windy city boys out of the Arena! Wow!
The greatest athletic contest I ever witnessed took place in 1985 (I believe that was the year) when the Blues were down 3-2 to the Calgary Flames in the playoffs and trailing 4-1 late in the third period when suddenly they caught fire and caught the Flames in the last minutes of the game and won in overtime! The Arena was shaking! Blues fans were in tears. Jacque Demers was foaming at the mouth (Blues Coach) and everyone was embracing! Never have I seen such emotion, not even in a football atmosphere at the Dome, which can get very loud! It has come to be known at the "Monday Night Miracle" and will be revered by our Blues followers forever!
Hockey fans are unlike any other. They are a study in motion. If the Blues win, "we have a great chance for the cup!" If the Blues lose: "No playoffs this year!" They love their Blues like no other and recently times have been tough. But with a new owner (Dave Checketts) and a gung-ho President (John Davidson) and with a solid and brilliant coach (Andy Murray) they are now climbing in their Western Division and with some tough road games coming up, will have to reach down for an extra amount of energy to get there.
Be that as it may, on Tuesday evening on national TV, the St. Louis Blues showed the hockey world they are going to be a contender for some time to come and St. Louis is agog in hockey talk today!

UNO FOREVER
If you were on your game this week, you would have known that one of the greatest events of this or any other generation was taking place at the home of such New York stalwarts as the New York Knicks, the New York Rangers and yes, some of the greatest boxing matches ever.
I'm talkin about Madison Square Garden. The Bear has been to the Garden on two occasions, once briefly during a tour to "sneak a peak" at an aging Elvis, before a packed stadium and in 1976 as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention! This place exudes history!
But once a year "the Gaden" is home to the most priceless, distinguished group of yuppies, I mean puppies in all of the US, The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show which produces of course "The Best in Show!"
How I love these four legged cuties! I remember all my canines starting with "Yankee", later "Tickie", and more recently those two black beauties "Junior and Casey Bear", whose real names were "Junipero Serra" and "Casandra Barroness!" They weren't prize winners, just lovable, chummy, remarkable pals. I can remember when the Bear's football team would have a rough day, there was only one creature who understood the solace of the moment. In fact they were smarter than us in so many ways!
Yes, the Westmininster Kennel Club did it again this week. On Monday and Tuesday it was non stop viewing from 7-10 each night culminating in the "Best in Show" late in day two. What drama and what characters awaited your perusal! Bull Dogs, Labs, Police Dogs, Newfoundlands,
Pugs, Poodles, St. Bernards, hailing from Scotland, France, Great Britain, Asia, Belleville, IL, all over the universe!
The leading show dogs were paraded by a group of "dog lovers", fashioned in every size who proudly presented their mutts to the judge of the particular group being rated! And the judges, they ranged from elegant princes, with long dresses to the astute and dignified tux laden males and many of the later judges were on their last legs (in their 70's and 80's), just barely able to feel the many lines that make for that perfect animal, examine their teeth and send them on their way, with their masters racing them around the specified circular area designated for this major event.
The stadium was jammed as usual, even with a bad weather night, and they were cheering, clapping and roaring their approval of the special breeds being presented. Some could hardly make it around as their hair was daughntedly long, all the way to the Garden floor, which sometimes is an ice rink, when the Rangers are in town. While one or the other was presented the others sat in their boxes, almost spectators as well as participants.
And then he appeared! They always say: "You will know him when you see him!" Never had a Beagle won the top prize. Thats over a hundred years of shows! Never a Beagle. Never had those flappy, zappy ears and pristine noses found their way to the winner's circle. So many special dogs, Irish Setters, English hunting dogs, renowned animals from all over the universe but never never had a plain old beagle won it all!
As we approached the finals and seven dogs were inspected and trotted around the arena to the cheers, yes, one stood out. Hailing from Belleville, IL and now being trained in South Carolina, it was to be UNO, who would emerge as the "Best in Show." As he was led to the rostrum to be examined by the animal loving, kindly gentleman, who had been sequestered this evening, somewhere in Gotham, so he would not be influenced in his selections, a certain excitement illumnated this palace of sports, where Joe Louis KO'd Billy Conn and Frank Sinatra electrified his followers, But now the march of marches took place around the circle with the spotlight on an erect, tail straight, nose upward, ears of golden brown, "dog for all seasons!" There could be no doubt as 20,000 "dog lovers" went ballistic! What a moment in time!
Yes, you bet the old Bear came unglued and cheered lustily! But what was even better, UNO, once selected, let out with several "Arf Arfs" and danced madly, knowing he had copped the top prize.
"You had to feel so good!"
"The Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show:" Always the best dogon show of the year!

THEIR NOT BROAD WHERE BROADS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BROAD
Having just heard another rant from a would be Hillary supporter against the fine US Senator from the State of MO, our own Claire McCaskill, for her support of Barack Obama in the race for the Presidency of the United States on the Charles Brennan Show (KMOX St. Louis), I am trying hard not to explode with explatives deleted.
The Bear is a strong Demo and is a great fan of the brilliant Hillary Clinton but like Claire, is supporting Barack during the primary season. This has become one of the great battles in American political history, this race for the nomination and "Super Tuesday" did not change the chemistry of this race. The candidates are thinking Nebraski and that far northwest beauty Washington this weekend and DC, Maryland, and Virginia loom large on the horizon for more delegates. This is really something.
Now, I'm a White Guy and Barack is a Black/White Guy who has lived all over the place and most recently in the home of the Chicago Blackhawks (not loved by me) as did Hill at one time. Now, what am I supposed to do? Should I not support a Black/White guy because he's black or a lady, because she's well a girl? What the hell should I do? Maybe, support Mayor Bloomberg but of course he's Jewish and short! (He does ride the subway back and forth to work even though he's a zillionaire (maybe that should disqualify him). Lets threaten John McCain or maybe vote for him because he's, well "all white" and from Arizona. Oh, guess what Governor Janet Napolitano, is for Barack too! But Janet is presently one of the greats around the country and you said it, could be a major possibility for VP. But she is from Arizona where they have a lot of those illegal immigrants crossing he border! But their Latinos! And we wouldn't even consider my first choice for Prez, Bill Richardson (Yep, he was a Latino) And Mitt is a Morman and Huck is a Baptist Minister who lost over 100 lbs to look so sleek! But he's from Hope, Arkansas too!
Now back to the ladies of the morning who are threatening our Senator. Over the past two days at least five calls and probably more have come into Mr. Brennan, some while Senator McCaskill was on the air chastising her for not "voting for a woman!" Without being too dramatic, they have told Claire: "We're not going to vote for you next time!" "Woooooo!" Wow: Watch out Caroline Kennedy, Jean Carnahan, Oprah, Cassie Christian (she's a beauty queen), Maria Shriver. Watch out! Their coming but from where? Are they NOW girlies? Are they hotsy totsy Soccer moms?
Are they pseudo intellectual dollies? Are they left overs from Roswell?
Our US Senator, Claire McCaskill has gained national acclairm in her very first term as a US Senator by her solid and candid political prowess and some are even talking VP Candidate.
She says "hell no!" She has been a working Senator for all the people and is not one of these
shrill skanks who must have it all! Imagine being tied down to one of these feminazis! Ugh!
While they have the right to disagree with Claire's stand on the candidates, when they play the "dollie card" they urinate on the sanctification of the "Women"s Movement" which this writer supports. The Bear has in the past supported "The Equal Rights Amendment" (not sure if this is the proper way to gain acceptance as a force) but of course all women should be equal and therefore it is sheer folly when these organizations, (surely not supported by Hill) become overly aggressive.
Senator, if I could vote for you twice I would. You make me proud of the "Show Me" state.
As for the call ins and threats it is evident they are: "Not Broads Where Broads Should Be Broad!"

WHAT A GAS!
If your a political nutcase like the Bear, yesterday wasn't just Super Bowl Sunday, it was a major political day for both parties as the presidential hopefuls raced from state to state making their case for the upcoming "Super Tuesday" primaries in 22 states.
As a supporter of the fine senator from Illinois the prolific Barack Obama and totally respectful to the junior senator from NY, who I admire greatly, the Bear has enjoyed this battle and had a hard time making a decision, made only last week. to go with the young, brilliant (ask Oprah:
"I'm not voting for him because he's black. I'm voting for him because he's brilliant!), exciting and just plain smart Obama.
Yesterday at the stadium made famous by the great John Wooden basketball teams of yesteryear, I'm talkin about UCLA, a special rally took place, led by the beautiful and regaling
wife of the senator, Michelle, and featuring such great ladies as Caroline Kennedy, Oprah, and later the entrance of the first lady of California, the sensational Maria Shriver, all vigorously leading an electric , huge crowd, supporting Barack. It was the pep rally of pep rallies and it was memorable! It's one of the reasons the Bear is supporting this young, former Illinois Senator who has only been a US Senator for a short time. To quote no one in particular:
"He is inspiring and makes me feel great and so is his lawyer wife from Princeton, daughter of a civil service worker from south Chicago (probably White Sox fans, hopefully not Blackhawk followers!)
Its wonderful watching the enemy, engaged in a struggle which is getting very nasty out there between the conservatives and moderates of the Republican Party! Listening to the great Rush moan and groan makes me want to do the Fox Trot in fast time! I have been told by a not so impecable source, Mr. Robert Ford of Menlo Park, CA that Ed Beck quoted the noted blonde
zombie Ann Coulter as saying if McCain gets the nomination, she will vote for Hillary!" While our tent in the party of the people is quite large, I'm not so sure we could extend an invitation to her to come on over. Ann: "You just stay put!"
My hair stylist told me this morning as she beautified me, "This is so exciting, I'm scared!"
"I don't know who I'm going to vote for tomorrow!" I was reminded of two of the greatest political leaders ever: FDR (genuflect) "The only thing you have to fear is fear itself!" and Elinor Roosevelt,Mrs FDR (bow) "Every morning when you awaken, vow to do something which will scare you!"
Mrs. Arnold Schwarznager used this yesterday as she joined her niece Caroline on the stage, having only made the decision to bolt from her husband's support of John McCain.
This is one of the greatest political campaigns of all time, followed day by day, by the likes of C-Span, CNN, and MSNBC. I told the young beautician, as she snipped off slivers of my hair,
to enjoy and have fun making her decision on whether to vote for the first woman in American history, who might be president or the first black in American history who might occupy the White House.
Meanwhile I fought with myself because I have such great respect for Hillary, and resent some snide comments about the smart young lady, also originally from Chicago, about which of these two talented candidates to support! If Hillary wins the nomination, I will be the first one to cheer her victory and prepare for the general election. But the Bear just plain thinks Obama is the future and he is totally inspiring, not onlyto the younger generation, but old farts like me, and yes he reminds me of the hysteria that was created by a young Massachusets senator in 1960.
He's got bizzazz!
To quote one of my all time favorites of TV Land, Dave Garroway, the original star of the Today show, as he showed the palm of his hand to this constiuency, glued to their 13 in TV sets (son Slater still has this kind of tv), "PEACE!"
As a supporter of the fine senator from Illinois the prolific Barack Obama and totally respectful to the junior senator from NY, who I admire greatly, the Bear has enjoyed this battle and had a hard time making a decision, made only last week. to go with the young, brilliant (ask Oprah:
"I'm not voting for him because he's black. I'm voting for him because he's brilliant!), exciting and just plain smart Obama.
Yesterday at the stadium made famous by the great John Wooden basketball teams of yesteryear, I'm talkin about UCLA, a special rally took place, led by the beautiful and regaling
wife of the senator, Michelle, and featuring such great ladies as Caroline Kennedy, Oprah, and later the entrance of the first lady of California, the sensational Maria Shriver, all vigorously leading an electric , huge crowd, supporting Barack. It was the pep rally of pep rallies and it was memorable! It's one of the reasons the Bear is supporting this young, former Illinois Senator who has only been a US Senator for a short time. To quote no one in particular:
"He is inspiring and makes me feel great and so is his lawyer wife from Princeton, daughter of a civil service worker from south Chicago (probably White Sox fans, hopefully not Blackhawk followers!)
Its wonderful watching the enemy, engaged in a struggle which is getting very nasty out there between the conservatives and moderates of the Republican Party! Listening to the great Rush moan and groan makes me want to do the Fox Trot in fast time! I have been told by a not so impecable source, Mr. Robert Ford of Menlo Park, CA that Ed Beck quoted the noted blonde
zombie Ann Coulter as saying if McCain gets the nomination, she will vote for Hillary!" While our tent in the party of the people is quite large, I'm not so sure we could extend an invitation to her to come on over. Ann: "You just stay put!"
My hair stylist told me this morning as she beautified me, "This is so exciting, I'm scared!"
"I don't know who I'm going to vote for tomorrow!" I was reminded of two of the greatest political leaders ever: FDR (genuflect) "The only thing you have to fear is fear itself!" and Elinor Roosevelt,Mrs FDR (bow) "Every morning when you awaken, vow to do something which will scare you!"
Mrs. Arnold Schwarznager used this yesterday as she joined her niece Caroline on the stage, having only made the decision to bolt from her husband's support of John McCain.

HOW ABOUT THOSE MANNINGS!
After viewing yesterday's Super Bowl its time to give a "tip of the cap" to the Manning family.
The great father, Archie, who underwent several rough outings during his time with the New Orleans Saints, has been the recipient of a proud legacy of young footballers who more than make up for some of the thugs out there in the NFL in recent years.
While we read about wives and girl friends being beaten and maimed, knives and guns being brandished in bars, nightclubs, and other locations, beautiful animals being slained in dog fights
and couped up in filthy kennels (I will never forgive Michael Vick and I don't want to hear about him being a mixed up young millionaire), enter the Manning family, especially Peyton and Eli!
Watching these two warms the cockels of my football heart. Peyton, running the Indy offense, pointing out would-be blitzers, changing signals at the line, winging a tight spiral to Marvin Harrison and just flat out showing the custormer what football is all about. Then there is Eli, with his need to try to emulate his big brother and dealing with an even greater challenge, the NY Sports Media, most of whom don't know a football from a walnut and have never been on the field of battle being mowed down by a charging lineman or linebacker when the blocking up front fails. (The great Brady felt pressure big time yesterday and is very sore today!) Yes, this kid Eli Manning has progressed greatly over the few years in the league and yesterday stood the football world on its head and was aided by some magnifcent and gutty (Plaxico Burris) receivers. How proud Archie must have been as the family watched from their perch overlooking the beautiful and innovative Phoenix stadium, which will now be the home of the Arizona Cardinals. And how exciting it is to know that these two Mannings are sterling examples to the youth of our country off the field. Hope they stay that way.
The Giants are the world champions and the Bear's prediction of a 17 Point Patriot victory shreaded by the hard nosed defense and gutty effort of Eli and his Giant comrades.
This for the NFL. Your half time show yesterday gave evidence that the hard edged bombastic
killer rapping sounds and tit exposers of the past may just be on there way out. The commissioner must serve notice to the disturbers in this league that it is a priviledge to take the field for whatever team and that fans pay big bucks to engage their services (overpaid in my opinion) and their off field activities must accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative or else!
With no malice intended to a great Patriot team and their fine coach, "way to go NY Giants!"
