This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Pro football players in Iraq to watch Super Bowl with troops
I like to acknowledge entertainers who go to the Persian Gulf to entertain US troops stationed there. Today I learned about several current and former NFL players who went to Iraq to join US troops watching the Super Bowl. Above, players pose for a photograph at Forward Operating Base Warhorse, Iraq, February 3. The football stars signed autographs, gave away prizes and enjoyed the Super Bowl with the troops. From left: former Oakland Raider and Minnesota Viking linebacker Greg Biekert, current Buffalo Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny and former Carolina Panthers safety Mike Minter. Good for them.
