Was doing some research on Billy Lothridge. Not many photos from his time on the Cowboys and Rams. Found a picture of him on the Falcons, greeting Don Meredith after a game.
Never really realized that in 1972, Larry Seiple, the punter for the Miami Dolphins, was injured. Lothridge was signed to fill in for two games. Pretty sure the undefeated Dolphins kept Lothridge on the roster throughout their undefeated season, so he was on the sidelines when Miami beat Washington in the Super Bowl. Backup punter, kicker, safety, and QB.
At Tech, Lothridge was a Heisman runner-up, a top ten all time Yellow Jacket. With the Falcons he twice led the NFL in punting, and was pressed into service at safety - intercepting three passes in one season.
Latest rumor: Fever trade Caitlin Clark to LA. Doesn't seem like the Fever coaches have Caitlin's back.
Braves record is what, 42-21. On pace to win 108 games. If they go 45-44 the rest of the way they'd still win 87 games. Gotta get Riley hitting again. No one has suggested it, but why not let him go down to Gwinnett for a week or two to get his swing back?
Why did Ronald Acuna wear number 21 for Venezuela? He was paying tribute to Roberto Clemente. A noble gesture. He had previously worn 42 to honor Jackie Robinson.
My church always draws a big crowd to Wednesday night supper when they serve Bourbon Chicken. Not sure why.
Johnson's Ferry is a great church, but needs to improve in the dry erase marker department.
Sermon topic that I'd like to hear: we know that all dogs go to heaven - but what about cats? Surely not.
Churches across America are being set on fire. Just a few years ago the same thing was happening in Europe, and we all know what's happening in Europe now. Are sleeper cells involved?
Yesterday W&MC had friends in town from Texas. They took them to Bellwood Coffee in Decatur, then went to Kimball House. C had a doctor's appt so she went over to babysit. At 6:20 pm, I left to drive down and help out with the 5 kids. Stopped by Chickfila to get C some supper.
Didn't leave to drive home until 10:30 pm. C had fallen asleep on the couch. From their house you can drive one mile west on MLK Blvd to go 20 west to 285 north, but C doesn't like that way. So we took MLK east to Northside Drive north.
Today: (1) walked Winnie, (2) gym to lift weights / sauna / treadmill, (3) Walmart for a big shipping envelope, (4) post office to mail a package, (5) Whattaburger for the free burger deal, and (6) Kennesaw Mountain to buy a lifetime visitor pass.
Tonight will be the first night C and I have been home together all week. Nothing big on tap for the weekend.
