Who dat?
Dat is the New Orleans Saints-the Super Bowl Champs. Hello Benny fans and thank you South Florida for a great night of football. Who Dat?! The 44th NFL Super Bowl was really super. The New Orleans Saints, the under-dogs , went into halftime behind the Colts and came back in a big way to beat Indianapolis by a score of 31-17 before a packed Sun Life Stadium crowd. Drew Brees completed 32 passes and was named the MVP of the game! Way to go Saints!! They have a young team and could be on top for many years to come. Colts Quarterback, Peyton Manning, always the gentleman praised the Saints and said he was sorry to the Colts fans for not being able to bring back a win. Manning had an amazing game but not good enough to beat Brees and the Saints.

Here we go again. Now the nutritional experts are taking away my salt. How dare they! Don’t touch my salt. It’s getting harder and harder to eat foods the way I want to. Someone is always watching out for me. Who asked them to? I didn’t vote for low salt. Senator John McCain’s name and Senator Barack Obama’s name were both there. Governor Palin and Senator Biden also. Local judges running for office, a state law or two, a state Supreme Court Justice wanting to stay put. No salt. In fact there was no mention of sugar, fat, transfats, or high fructose corn syrup either. But that didn’t stop “them.” You know “them.” The ones who take away all the good stuff. Yea ,I know what the medical experts say about Transfat. The cause of obesity. Could cause heart disease. That means heart attacks. Could cause peripheral vascular disease-clogging of the arteries of the legs and neck. That’s not good. There has even been mention of transfats being associated with cancers. Who needs them? Well my friends, they are almost gone! Mayor Bloomberg of New York City banned them fro the City’s restaurants and public eateries. Most companies have eliminated them or have disguised them. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has allowed minute amounts of these bad fats to still exist in our foods. Is that good? I ...

It’s raining in South Florida!! Hello Benny fans-this is yours truly writing to you from rainy South Florida-the site of the 2010 NFL Super Bowl! That’s right; I am here ready to report about the latest in sports. Last night, at Sun Life Stadium, the site of next Sunday’s Super Bowl also, the 2010 Pro Bowl took place. Yep-usually it’s the week after the Super Bowl and in Hawaii. The top NFC players battled the top AFC players for four quarters in a high scoring game. At the end, it was the dominating AFC beating the NFC 41-34. Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning and New Orleans Saints helmsman Drew Brees also made an appearance but did not play. It seemed that even though this game was supposed to draw lots of eager football fans, it may not have been the draw it was intended to. Anyway, it was a great game and was great to see all of the stars like Ravens Ray Lewis, Bengals Ocho Cinco and Eagles Donovan McNab. According to NFL sources, the 2011 and 2012 Pro Bowl games will be back in Honolulu.
2010 Super Bowl- Both Indianapolis and New Orleans will be practicing this week for their meeting on Sunday. It will be a wet practice week for both. We are all looking forward to a fantastic passing game from both Manning and Brees. And some ...
