Well so much for a Patriots vs. Falcons Super Bowl.

I hanging my hat on the Green Bay Packers — I think they are going to take it all. Who will be there opponent? The Jets.

If you have a different idea – go ahead and post a comment.

OK – who do you think will make it to the Super Bowl?

There’s a lot of talk that it could be the New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons.

I’m not sure I agree with those picks. There could be some upsets this week on the gridiron – just like last week. The Ravens, Packers and Jets are playing with a lot of heart right now – So watch out.

Who do you think it will be in the Super Bowl?

I love Christmas – but I also love the week after Christmas. Why? – Because of the holiday basketball tournaments – Especially the tournament at Freeport High.

It’s always so nice to see old friends and teams come back year after year.

The local teams are making a pretty good showing in the tournament thus far. The Freeport boys came away with a victory today as well as the Ponce de Leon girls.

Anyhow if you don’t have anything better to do or you just like good competitive basketball, come on over to Freeport High. Games begin at 10 a.m. and go all day – cost to get in the door – $5. Not bad for a full day of basketball.

See you there.

Who do you think will be the next National Champions?

Maybe Auburn will take it and we’ll have another Alabama team as the National Champions.

Hoorah for the SEC.

What are your thoughts?

Spent some time talking with Helen Donaldson earlier this week about the Rodeo – I’m getting excited. The T-shirts are in, and they look good. As a matter of fact, the Rodeo merchandise trailer was set up today beside AJ’s. So if you want to get one early, just stop by.

Back to the actual Rodeo, fishing should be good. There is a lot of money available for the taking by the anglers. And red snapper is in the mix – even if it’s only for three-day weekends. Amberjack, king mackerel, red snapper, blackfin tuna and redfish are some the fish that are worth up to $6,000.

There is still time to get that boat registered if you hadn’t already done so.

See you on the docks.

Should the University of Alabama be ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll? Let me hear what you think.

My thoughts are yes — but what else would you expect from an Alabama grad.

What are your thoughts on a fall red snapper season? Let us hear from you on the Buck Spot at thedestinlog.com.

My thinking is – a fall season would be good. But we don’t want to over do it and use up our TAC (total allowable catch). Although I don’t think we stand a chance of that happening. But a 30 day window would be good – and October would be a great time.

What do you think?

What are your thoughts on the upcoming high school football season?

Do you think federal waters off Destin are safe to fish, why or why not?

Let me hear from you.

Yes it would be nice to see those red snapper on the racks. However, there are not many folks in town right now to catch them.

Would opening red snapper bring the folks back down? I’m not so sure with the kids heading back to school. And let’s face it, the last couple of weeks of August are usually pretty slow around here.

One of the captains said last week that he hopes they don’t open red snapper back this year – in hopes that the pounds not caught this year will be added on to next year by the regulators. And maybe, just maybe we’ll get a longer season.

That’s not a bad idea.

However, it sure would be nice to see snapper on the docks for the Destin Fishing Rodeo.
