Pro sports team favorites: Buffalo Bills & Sabres , Phoenix Suns ,
and St. Louis Cardinals baseball.
 

It's painful to be a Buffalo Bills fan. A decade has now passed without any Playoff appearances.

It's time for wholesale changes at the Management level throughout the organization.
 
My visit to "The Ralph", summer 2000. Go Bills!!
 
The following movie clip pretty much sums up being a Bills Fan.

The Buffalo Sabres hockey team has missed the playoffs the last two seasons. 2009-10 looks to be a better year, so far.

CARDINALS won the NL Central Division but lost to the LA Dodgers in the NLDS.


 

The Phoenix Suns trying to get back to the NBA playoffs in 2010. Steve Nash is still the best point guard in the NBA.

 

College Sports Favorites:
Anything to do with the ARIZONA STATE U. SUN DEVILS

 NCAA Football:
 Up next:
ASU Sun Devils finished a terrible 2009 season with a 4-7 record. Better get some offensive line talent next season.

 NCAA Basketball:
ASU Sun Devils made it to the NCAA tournament in 2009 and won the opening round game over Temple but lost to Syracuse. A great season!
 
NCAA Baseball:
ASU Sun Devils made it to Omaha in 2009 but lost to in the College World Series to eventual runner-up Texas.
 
This is where I want my final resting preparations performed:
 


 

Thunderhead Fantasy Football League 1992, 1995, & 2000 Champions:
                                       Agents Öf Förtune


16 teams comprised of owners from Tucson & Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, New Jersey, W. Virginia, Texas, Connecticut, Massachussetts, Minnesota, Florida and of course Las Vegas, compete each Pro football season for the coveted Whitney Carlin Memorial Trophy.
My team, Agents Öf Förtune, is still the only 3 time Champions!!

TMy team failed to qualify for the 2009-10 FFL playoffs, so it's wait and see next year.

My "Big Shot" Family
If you go see the NHL Phoenix Coyotes play at Jobing.com Arena, you'll hear My Big Shot brother Paul, as he's the PA Announcer for all those games........nice gig!!!

An audio montage of him from the January 29th, 2006 Coyotes game on the Edmonton Oilers radio network !

 Paul working the Coyotes/Kings game on Nov. 3rd Coyotes vs. Columbus Blue Jackets


He also has played lead & bass guitar for top bands in the Phoenix area and continues to produce his own music. Check out his latest mp3 track. No vocals, but kick ass rock : demo1
He likes to spend his spare time watching a ball game on his new Big Screen HDTV..........especially when he's got some clams riding on it.
Paul playing a gig on May 5th, 2001 in Tempe, AZ

My Big Shot sister Laurie, can be found either singing, dancing, or directing choreography in various theatrical productions in the Phoenix area most of the time. She has won awards (too many) and is a brainiac.
My sister Laurie
Her two boys Sean & Tim are somewhat more normal and actually are real cool.  She married her husband Rob in December of 2003. He's some Big Shot Radio/TV/Theatre/Voiceman dude...and is way too funny!

My Big Shot Parents live part-time in Chandler, AZ when it's not HOT (only a few months). When it gets HOT, they go up north to Overgaard, AZ and hang out in a totally remodeled cabin that Mom had my Dad slave away for over a year on.

They spend their time up there laughing about how the poor children are stuck living in deserts during the summer. My Big Shot Mom retired from the largest Hospital/Health network in Phoenix when she decided not to boss anymore people around. She use to be on the Apache Junction City Council and bossed an entire city of people around until she ran out eligible terms to run again. My Big Shot Dad had a Big Band group that performed for many a Trailor Park in the Phoenix area. He smartly retired from Elementary Music teaching to get away, not from the students, but from their PARENTS.
