QB Kellen Moore not Drafted in NFL

How is it possible the winningest quarterback in Division 1 college football history was not selected in the 2012 NFL draft?

Kellen Moore was a Heisman finalist in 2010 and the only QB to win 50 games. Moore completed 70% of his passes and finished his career with a QB rating of 169.

As proven by Tom Brady back in 2000, a late 6th round selection at #199 overall, the NFL draft is not an exact science.

Kellen Moore, all he does is win.

Apparently, the NFL doesn’t have a combine drill to measure heart, smarts or the will to win.

Government Gone Wild

GSA Government Gone Wild music videos made by GSA employees celebrating their $820,000 Las Vegas party and swindle of American taxpayers.

Road trip like Neely and rolling on my 20’s in my GOV video:

The administration has taken heat for wasting money on projects like Solyndra and horrible policy decisions.

But this is even worse – absolute in your face waste, downright fraud and abuse of your money. Classic Washington DC – waste, fraud and abuse.

Government gone wild.

 

Kentucky 2012 National Champions

Kentucky Wildcats Basketball program at 38-2 are the 2012 College National Champions after defeating Kansas 67 to 59 in New Orleans last night.

While the Jayhawks big man totally shut down and exposed Anthony Davis offensively, the UK MVP shined on defense in blocking shots, steals, rebounds and overall hustle.

The Kentucky guards lit it up from outside. Offense gets the glory. Defense wins the game.

Kentucky was in control most of the way but Kansas mounted a late rally. The lead would have been cut to 3 but a fatal mistake bunny hop, double dribble negated a 3 pointer that swished through nothing but net.

It may be One & Done for UK though as all 5 of Kentucky’s starters, 2 freshmen and 3 sophomores, could be selected in the early rounds of the NBA draft in June.

Time will tell. Congratulations Kentucky. Go Blue.

Feel Rich. I am a wealthy person. Get busy living Mega Millions Video:

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.

No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money. Society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things.

Every man should have mega millions, that can contribute to the power, elegance and richness of life. To be content with less is sinful.

You’ve always been a wealthy person and you will always be a wealthy person, with or without the $500,000,000 Mega Millions winning numbers.

NCAA 2012 Final Four Kentucky

2012 NCAA college basketball March Madness Final Four brackets has top seeded Kentucky, Ohio St, Kansas and Louisville headed to New Orleans.

Kentucky shot lights out to beat Baylor. Ohio St. beat a good Syracuse team. Kansas beat a very good but injured North Carolina and Louisville advanced after an epic Florida choke late in their game.

Anthony Davis and the Kentucky Wildcats offense should be too much for top defensive team and state rival, Louisville.

The other game between two of the best teams in 2012, Kansas and Ohio St. looks like a war and could go either way. Kansas won an earlier meeting this season.

Las Vegas line has Ohio St. a 3 point favorite. Kentucky at -9  will have to win by double digits to cover their number.
