SUNDAY NIGHT RANDOMS...
After multiple tries, I was finally able to snap a picture of Gabby and her dog Lucy.
I snapped this pic on my iphone. Gabby had just gotten off the school bus and Lucy started jumping up and down in excitement. I had no idea that Gabby had entered the pic until later. The picture makes me smile.
A foot injury has sidelined Gabs from soccer for the rest of the season...that gives her more time to focus on her new passion; the trumpet...
I attended this week's CAVS pre-season game at The Q this week. I took tons of pix including this one of SHAQ and LeBRON. You can totally feel something special already. It's still hard to believe we have two of the greats to ever play the game right here in Cleveland!! Now, it's SHAQ vs "THE CURSE" lol
My friend ROB SIMS of The Seattle Seahawks (Nordonia HS & OSU) got banged up this past week at Indy. A high ankle sprain sidelined him this week at home against Jacksonville. He's a warrior...says he "recovers pretty quick from these things). Great to see the Seahawks get back Matt Hasselbeck back and roll big to a 41-0 win!
KATE VOEGLE (One Tree Hill) returned home to Cleveland this week for a show at The House of Blues and an appearance on our radio show. I first met "KATIE" when she was 15 when we all thought she had potential....that potential has blossomed into an awesome CD, a role on "ONE TREE HILL" and an appearance on The Tonight Show. It was great to see her perform again and I appreciated her on-stage shoutouts to Q104.Random Notes:
The BROWNS didn't win this week...they didn't lose. Bills handed the game to us. Our QB completed two passes...that's not a "WIN".
This past week on the show, we learned that ALL women hide their underwear when they visit the gyno....who knew???
Best song on the radio right now: Miley Cyrus/Party in the USA
Back in August, I started a 27 day alcohol-free challenge...tonight, I'm wrappin' up Day 65. The purge feels awesome!

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT INDIANAOPOLIS
Post gamin' with Seahawk's QB Matt Hasselbeck
The Colt's new stadium is two years old and is awesome. Indy is hosting the 2012 SUPER BOWL...great city and a great place to see a football game.
Seattle Seahawk, Ohio State Buckeye and Nordonia Knight ROB SIMS on the sidelines of Sunday's game. I'm lucky to call him a friend...he's a great guy. He sprained an ankle in the second quarter but should be back soon. 
...on sunny days, they open up the roof of the stadium in Indianapolis.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR SOCCER PARENTS!
Nine Things Parents Don't Get About Kids and Sports
During car rides to games or practice, kids don't want you to tell them how to do this or that.
("I am not stupid," or "I know how to play the sport I play," are typical responses.)
Kids can get psyched for a game without parental help.
It's your duty as a parent to sit quietly and watch your kids do wonderful things.
(Kids get bummed out when you miss games or yak it up too much with friends in the stands.)
If you don't know what you're talking about, kids don't want you to talk.
(Typical comments: " Parents think they know the rules, but they don't." "My mom asks annoying questions.'' And ''I hate when my mom tells me to do things even when she doesn't know the first thing about sports.")
Even if you do know what you're talking about, kids don't want you to talk.
("I hate when parents tell us to do the exact opposite of what the coaches say," "If your parent isn't the coach, he or she shouldn't try to be one.")
Kids wish parents would practice what you preach about sportsmanship.
("My dad always wants me to he a 'good sport,' but a lot of the time he blames the loss on the ref." "Arguing with the refs is not only embarrassing, but it takes up time." )
Kids often can't hear a parent yelling when they're concentrating on the game.
(Sometimes, they can. Either way, they don't like it. "Parents yell advice a player doesn't hear because they're so into playing the game." I feel embarrassed when my parents yell so loud that the whole town can hear," and "They yell and scream and look like dorks.")
After they lose, kids don't want to be told it doesn't matter.
(Typical reactions: ""I hate when we get knocked out of the playoffs and parents say, 'You'll get them next time!" "When parents try to cheer you up after a loss, all they do is remind you of the score." )
After they lose, kids don't want to be told that it does matter.
("Parents take losses harder than we do". You win some, you lose some, no big deal! "Get over it!")
Kids just want to have fun.
"Parents just don't get this" kids say.
