Old Men Can Still Play
Old jokes aside, emergency Vinny has plenty of zip
It is good to see that some old guys can truly get up off the couch and still play. As the Bud Light commercial says, “…overly competitive touch football player-hero…”, this guy ain’t it.
A week ago, Testaverde and his family spent Sunday afternoon in their New York-area home, watching the New York Jets and New York Giants on television. Testaverde spent this Sunday carving up the Cardinals.
21 and a half years after winning the Heisman Trophy, playing for 6 NFL teams, Vinny comes back to lead a desperate Carolina Panthers to an away victory.
(VT, 11-13-1963, yeah, uh-huh, that’s right old guys)
A Little Love for South Point from a Gazette Writer
Phillip Gardner, a sportswriter for the Gaston Gazette had a couple of nice things to say about the Red Raider game versus Ashbrook the other night.
A little love offering perhaps for the gushiness expressed for Gastonia schools over the last several years perhaps?
Who knows?
Don’t like paying $5 to park in the neighborhood? COME EARLY and tailgate ! If you wrote more stuff about Belmont area sports in a more loving tone, like what is usually reserved for Forestview and Ashbrook, maybe someone would let young Mr. Gardner park for free.
NOT !
Really, to be fair, we think Mr. Gardner does a wonderful job of covering sports in Gaston County. He makes an effort to attend the games, and get a feel for the players and coaches in his articles.
A little love goes a long way in selling papers…
Thank You Readers
Our compilation/commentary blog about Belmont community activities and people must have hit a nerve.
Some quick facts – readership is averaging just over 300 views per day (That is better than the rack sales of the Gazette and Banner at Jerry’s). Soccer articles get the most hits, followed by political stories and comments.
No real surprises there, we have people who like both of those things making contributions to the blog.
October is the “Political Month”, and we hope to give a bit of focus on the city council race, the bond referendums, and a nod to county/other town politics as well.
Please leave a comment on the articles that hit you, or move you. We appreciate you giving us a read.
