Music makes me cha cha cha

So one of the channels Joey watches is called "Noggin" which is supported by Nick Jr. He's learned a lot watching the different shows on the channel, so Kell and I let him watch it when he wants to watch TV.

The channel is "hosted" by a cartoon character name Moose and his blue bird side kick Zee. They tell stories and sing lots of songs in between shows.

One of Joey's favorite songs these guys do is "Music Makes Me". (I wish I could direct link to it, but if you go to the Noggin video page and look under the video window, you'll see picture hotlinks to videos. Click on the first video, the picture is of Moose in a top hat and tux. The video usually starts playing when you first get to the page.)

Anyway, I have to say that the song really is well done ... it's got a great beat and the lyrics are cute. And, of course, Moose and Zee dancing in different outfits is funny to watch.

And Joey absolutely loves this song. He was watching this morning and I was in the kitchen when I heard the song come on. So I went into the living room to watch the video and he was sitting on the couch and bouncing up and down to the music. After a few seconds, he hopped off and started dancing, signing (most of) the lyrics and pointing his fingers in the air ... a huge smile on his face. Naturally, Daddy had to jump in and dance, too. Awesome.

Where do the Patriots go from here?

This is one of those posts I've been dwelling on for a while and finally decided to get down ... well, I was going to say paper, but I guess that's not really apropos in this format, is is?

Now that the dust has settled on Super Bowl XLII (altho it still stings), I can't help but wonder is this is the beginning of the end of the Patriots' "dynasty" as some insist on calling it.

At the risk of being overly pessimistic, here's how I see it:

• I agree with a Boston Globe columnist who said recently that Bill Belichick's schtick is getting tiresome. Enough with the enigmatic, grumpy old man act. I mean, he walked off of the field of the Super Bowl with time on the clock. Yes, the game was over, but still. And if he uttered more than a five or six word sentence is response to reporters' questions after the game, I missed it. Just as terse as ever and he indicated the loss was just another loss and that he had moved on already. Um, yeah ... not buying it. Belichick needs to seem more human ... for his and the team's sake.
  
• Speaking of the team, what kind of impact will all this Spygate stuff have on the team? Think about it, will free agents want to come here if there's a perception of turmoil? I still think the Patriots are one of the, if not the, team to beat in the AFC, so the allure of a potential SB ring could still be attractive, but do players want to have to hear about and deal with all the Spygate BS?
  
• And speaking of Spygate ... sigh. What a flea-flippin' mess (to use a Kell-ism). I can't decide if this story won't go away because the Patriots haters and the press just won't let go or if because there's something there and it's just a matter of time before the ugly truth comes out. I sincerely hope it's the former because if there is something to all or any of these allegations, then my loyalty to this team is going to be severely shaken ... which will lead me to a very difficult position because I l-o-v-e, love football and I can't imagine rooting for another team. I hear the CFL is nice this time of year ...
  
• I absolutely do not understand why the Patriots have not made more of an effort to re-sign CB Asante Samuel. According to reports, he's about to sign an offer with the Philadelphia Eagles. The fact that he wasn't signed to a multi-year contract last year is still puzzling. He's young, 27, and is one of the best at his position. And given that fact that the Defense really showed its age last season, it would seem logical that the Patriots would want to re-sign someone like Samuel. But then, I guess that's why Scott Pioli, et. al., get paid to do what they do and I just watch the games on TV.

Meanwhile, Opening Day at Fenway is April 8 ...

Witless movie making

Not sure if you've seen the commercials for the new Larry the Cable Guy movie, Witless Protection. As soon as I saw the commercial, I knew this movie was going to be panned ... badly.

One of my favorite websites, DVDTalk.com, features reviews of new films and DVD releases. What I like about them is that their reviewers pull no punches and the review of this movie is no exception.

The appeal of Larry the Cable Guy (LTCG) absolutely escapes me. I've seen the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie and have watched the show and the best parts of both are when LTCG isn't in them.

He's the true definition of a one trick pony and, IMO, gets really boring, really fast. If you've been unfortunate enough to see his act once, you've seen it a million times.

And I'm not being an anti-redneck snob about LTCG, either. I have friends who are proud to call themselves rednecks and they are rednecks (well, as much of a redneck as you can be in the Northeast, anyway) and even some of them don't think LTCG is that funny, either.

Kell and I were watching TV the other night and the movie's commercial came on and I started ranting about it saying it probably won't even take in what it cost to make the movie. "That's the problem," Kell said, "it'll probably make a lot of money."

Unfortunately, she's probably right and more of these idiotic movies will get green lighted. Yeesh ...

"L" is for "Left"

So Joey did something this morning that I've never seen him do before.

Kell said to him, "Joey, which is your left hand?"

He looked for a second and made a "L" with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand and held it up and said, "This one!"

Then he held up his right hand and said, "And this is my right hand!"

Very cool and proud parenting moment ...

I find your lack of hot air disturbing ...

Best hot air ballon ... EVER!

"Spygate" saga continues ...

This is just getting ridiculous.

Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter continues his asinine threats to launch a full-fledged investigation (and threatening to withdraw the NFL's anti-trust exemption) into the NFL's destruction of the materials turned over by the New England Patriots in relation to "spygate".

I still can't believe he's actually still pursuing this. That is, until I remember that Specter is a season ticker holder of the Philadelphia Eagles (who lost to the Pats in Super Bowl XXXIX) and apparently he hasn't gotten over that.

Now there comes word that based on the rumors that the Patriots taped the pre-game walk-through of the St. Louis Rams before Super Bowl XXXVI, three layers have filed a $100 million lawsuit (yes, that's $100 million), claiming that since the Patriots cheated, they owe everyone associated with the game (fans, players' shares, etc.), even thought the NFL said there's absolutely no evidence that any such taping occurred. Wow ... just ... wow.

Yes, I'm a card-carrying member of Patriots' Nation so if you dismiss this post as a homer defending his team, so be it. But I'm really getting tired of all of this spygate crap. To which:

• If the Patriots cheated in their three Super Bowl wins, why did they only win by 3 points in each game?!?
  
• People are questioning why NFL Comish Roger Goodall came down so hard on the Patriots and Bill Belichick so quickly and then destroyed the tapes and written materials so quickly. It's simple: He wanted to send a loud and clear message to the rest of the NFL that cheating will not be tolerated.
  
• There are calls now for the Patriots to give up their three Lombardi trophies because "they're obviously tainted", some Patriots haters are saying. Really? So the three titles Jimmy Johnson won with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s should also be relinquished because Johnson admitted (during a Fox broadcast when the spygate story broke) that he and his staff cheated as well when they would take discarded play book pages from teams and use them to prepare for the next time they played that team. And Johnson's not the only former coach to admit to cheating ... Jim Mora, Al Davis, and Bill Parcells also all admitted they went outside the rules.
  
• Specter has said the Patriots wins against the Pittsburgh Steelers should also be more closely scrutinized. But, Steelers ownership has said they feel the Patriots' videotaping is a "non-issue."
  
• This may be the weakest defense of the Patriots but it bears repeating ... everybody in the NFL cheats in some way. Maybe not so much now because of what's been going on, but they have in the past. Want proof? Just look at the coaches and assistants on the sidelines of any game, especially the offensive and defensive coordinators and the head coach. Whenever they call in a play, they always cover their mouths so their lips can't be read. Why? Because they know they're being watched by the other team! Seriously ... is it that complicated, people?!?
  
• As has happened in the past, the only thing people like more than celebrating a winner is tearing them down. Losing a Super Bowl by three points has to hurt (think about it, that's pretty much a one-play difference in the game), and it seems like some people are seizing this spygate thing as their chance to run up the excuses as to why their teams couldn't figure out a way to beat the Patriots.
  
• And lastly (at least for this post), Specter absolutely needs to be taken to task for using his time to focus on this issue instead of those that really concern the country ... like the war in Iraq, the healthcare crisis, the mortgage crisis, the looming recession ... the list goes on.

I want to make it clear that I'm not condoning what the Patriots did. Cheating is cheating and they got caught and paid the price. Let's just hope that all of the other NFL teams don't pay the price as well.

Clemens vs. McNamee

Former Red Sox ace Roger Clemens is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today and even before he raises his right hand he appears to be in trouble.

His former teammate, Andy Pettitte, has already admitted to using HGH (supplied by his and Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee) and now comes word that Pettitte has told Congress that Clemens admitted to him that he (the Rocket) took HGH. Clemens said Pettitte is mistaken in recalling the conversation.

Pettitte was supposed to testify with Clemens but was told by the Committee that such testimony wasn't needed. I haven't been able to find the reason why this decision was made.

Once again it comes down to he said-he said ... barring a last-minute change of heart, Clemens is presumably going to testify under oath that he didn't take HGH or any other steroid, despite the assertions made by Pettitte and McNamee. Meanwhile, McNamee will also testify under oath that Clemens did, in fact, use steroids.

So, where does this leave Clemens? One can keep speculating, but until we hear exactly what Clemens says and, perhaps more importantly, how he says it, it's difficult to say. (I'm reminded to Bill Clinton's famous, "It depends on what the definition of 'is' is.")

I was talking with a friend about this whole mess and said that I found it hard to believe that someone as (supposedly) smart as Clemens would go this far if he thought there was any evidence to support McNamee's claim.

"No it's not," my friend said. "Guys like Clemens, competitors their entire lives, just can't let things go away. Clemens probably sees this as another sort of competition and wants to be the winner. Maybe it's the steroids that are clouding his judgment."

I admitted that I never really thought of it that way and my friend made a good point. Either way, Clemens isn't going to come out of this unscathed ... it's how badly burned he will be that has yet to be determined.

GM buying out workers

I'm not much of a financial person, but I just saw this story on CNNMoney.com and it made my stop and think for a minute (which is about all I have time for these days).

The gist of the story is that GM, the largest U.S. car maker, is continuing its cost-cutting measures by offering "lucrative buyouts to 74,000 employees - its entire U.S. hourly workforce." (emphasis added).

According to the article:

About 46,000 of the GM employees are eligible to retire today and they can take pension incentives worth between $45,000 to $62,500 to retire. In addition there are inducements for those who are five years from retirement to leave early and receive benefits.

Those who leave and agree to sever all ties with the company - including giving up lucrative pension and health care coverage - will receive a lump sum of $140,000 if they have 10 years of service, or $70,000 for those with less than 10 years.

While a large-scale buy-out like this isn't unusual (Ford has done something similar, according to the article), this makes me uneasy about the state of the economy. Frankly, if there are people who are still saying we're not in a recession, then this could erase those doubts.

Joey and the dragons

So every once in a while, Joey becomes obsessed with the dragons in the downstairs half bathroom (especially at night) and needs daddy to clear them out.

So the other day I said, "I've got an idea, why don't we use Joey Dinosaur to get rid of those dragons?"

Needless to say, he was all for it.

He climbs on my back and we stomp through the house. As we draw nearer to the bathroom, Joey yells out, "OK you dragons, here comes Joey Dinosaur and Daddy! You better watch it!" I nearly fell down laughing.

So we vanquished the dragons and all was well at our corner of the Davis kindgom.

Why I love scathing movie reviews

So Paris Hilton apparently has a new movie coming out called, "The Hottie and the Nottie" and, shockingly, it sounds perfectly awful.

I've read four reviews and none have been at all kind. But, I think my favorite is by the Boston Globe's Ty Burr, who wrote a review for today's paper. I've always loved Burr's writing style, especially when he hates a movie and he really didn't like Hilton's latest offering. The highlights include:

The problem with "The Hottie and the Nottie" is - wait, let me start again. The most crippling of the many problems afflicting "The Hottie and the Nottie" is the radical disconnect between the title and our perception of the movie's star. I'm not sure on what planet Paris Hilton is considered "hot" - one that involves hazmat suits and tongs, possibly - but it hasn't been Earth for some time.

Then there's Hilton. She delivers her lines in an unmodulated near-whisper and keeps her head lowered, gazing up at Nate as if she'd learned Acting Position #1 and then dropped the class. The film poses her in a succession of bikinis, mini-tops, and short shorts, none of which give her the presence necessary to actually hold the screen. Her head seems too small for her body and stuck on at an odd angle. She resembles nothing so much as a tiny blond velociraptor.

No question where Burr stands on this one!

This is what happens when you google yourself

(I just re-read the title of this post and was struck by the fact that, without realizing it before, "google" is all but a verb now and not really the name of a company anymore.)

So I had a minute a typed the following into Goggle: "Bryan Davis The Concord Journal". I used to be a reporter for The Concord Journal, a weekly newspaper covering the town of Concord, MA.

Even though I left the paper over 10 years ago, I still visit the paper's website once in a while to see what's up with the town that I once knew like the back of my hand. I don't miss the meager salary, but I do miss the job itself ... it was never a dull moment as anyone who has worked for the paper can attest to.

Anyway, I googled my name and the name of the paper and came up with this. I so remember writing this and it's still true ... Town Meeting season was my favorite time of the year when I worked at the paper.

I'm also in a footnote ... weird.

The Clemens circus continues

So Roger Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, both have appeared before a House committee to argue their sides of this "did-Roger-take-steroids?" case.

He said-he said.

According to this story on espn.com, it's going to get very interesting next week when the two will appear at a public hearing (along with Clemens' former teammate, Andy Pettitte) at which they'll be under oath.

What amazes me about this week's developments is that McNamee's lawyers showed two pictures of syringes and other paraphernalia that they say are evidence of Clemens taking steroids.

Seriously?!? Pictures of this stuff and not of Clemens actually being injected is part of your evidence ... seriously?!?

Look, I've said it once and I'll say it again, I'm not here to defend Clemens. But, I have to say that I can't see why he would be fighting so hard against these allegations if they weren't true. I mean, he's not stupid and if he even thought a scintilla of evidence existed that could link him to steroid use, why would he be putting himself in the spotlight like this? It just doesn't make sense.

On the other side of the isle, though, is McNamee who (on the surface) doesn't seem to have anything to lose by pressing this case and therefore one could argue that he's not lying because of that very fact ... he doesn't have anything to lose so why would he be doing this?

Either way, if these two are under oath next week and stick to their stories, one of them is lying and, again, as I've said before, that's frowned upon just a bit by the Feds. The whole thing is just mind boggling.

Of course, the wild card here is Pettitte. I can't imagine that in the course of the hearing next week someone's not going to ask him if he ever saw Clemens get injected. His answer, or rather, the way he answers is going to be very telling. I see it going one of several ways:

• "No, I did not see him get injected."
  
• "If he ever was injected, I never saw it."
  
• "On the advice of Counsel, I plead the Fifth."

If Pettitte pleads the Fifth, that's as good as him saying Clemens took steroids, IMO. If his answers are in any way ambiguous and the panel can't get him to be more clear, then that's not going to look good for Rocket, either.

As a baseball fan, I'm still astounded by the fact that the man who could be considered the greatest pitcher in the history of the game may not be so if it's definitively proven that Clemens used steroids. Once a lock for the MLB HOF, Clemens' stats and accomplishments on the diamond may be but a footnote to his legacy ... as a steroid user.

Another one bites the dust

Mitt Romney announced today that he's "suspending" his campaign for the Republication nomination. In typical fashion, he can't just say he's dropping out. No, no ... he's "suspending" his campaign.

Phew ... one less Republican to worry about. Now if Mike Huckabee would just follow suit.

I'm not much of a John McCain fan, but I think he's one of the more moderate Republicans out there.

Still, I'm probably going to vote party and check the box for the Democratic candidate in November.

There's a joke in there somewhere ...

Just saw this on espn.com ... wow.

Video posted of Martinez at cockfight


A video of New York Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube.

Martinez and Marichal laugh before releasing the roosters. The two took part as honorary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight.

The animal released by Martinez appears to be killed on the video, which was posted Tuesday. The fight takes place in the Coliseo de Gallos (Rooster Coliseum) in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's biggest cockfighting venue. Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.

By early Thursday, the video was removed "due to terms of use violation."

Postmortem

OK, it's been three days now since Patriot Nation was handed its worst defeat in recent years (last year's AFC Championship loss didn't even feel this badly).

I still can't believe the Patriots lost the Super Bowl. Leading up to the game, you kept hearing how an 18-0 season doesn't mean anything if they lose the SB and the talking heads were absolutely right ... no one is going to really remember the Patriots' 2007 season now. Yeah, Patriots Nation will, but the shine is definitely off of the apple.

Speaking of the apple, my cousin Joe, a hard core NY Giants fan, emailed me yesterday (I was surprised it took that long) to gloat (albeit gently) and my wife had a great reply, "(This) must be what it has felt like the past few years with Yankees doing so poorly...." LOL ... nice! Yes, Joe is a NY Spankees fan, too.

As badly as it feels for the Patriots to lose, I can be glad for the Giants because a player like DE Michael Strahan, a 15-year vet, finally has the Lombardi hardware to add to his impressive resume. I read the other day that he had actually considered retiring at the end of last season.

In thinking about SB XLII, I had come to the same conclusion as my friend Kevin (he beat me in posting it to his blog), that if the Patriots had won, this would have only fueled the "cheaters" fire even more, so maybe, in a very strange way, it's almost better that the Patriots didn't win ... almost ... OK, not really.

Some random thoughts:

• Now I know how Rams fans felt after Super Bowl XXXVI when the Patriots (two-touchdown underdogs) beat the Rams by three points.
  
• I will never forget the look on Junior Seau's face as he walked off of the field. I really hope he doesn't retire because the guy deserves to win a Super Bowl after the career he's had.
  
• Needless to say, the Patriots I'm sure will be focusing on upgrading their defense in the off season. Let's face it, New England's D line is getting older and needs new blood. The offense is fine ... I'm sure the draft and off-season signings will heavily emphasize the defense.
  
• It's a little thing, but I'm still really bummed that there likely won't be a DVD about the Patriots' season. I could see NFL films releasing one because the Patriots are the only team to ever go 18-0 (there was a DVD about their 21-game winning streak a few ago, after all). There were so many great moments from this season, it would be great to get them on a DVD.
  
• I didn't realize until this week how the Patriots losing would affect my daily habits. No, I don't mean personal hygiene. The first section of the Boston Globe I look at is the Sports section ... not so this week. I just can't bring myself to open the pages. Same with espn.com ... just can't do it.
  
• Still trying to figure out what the hell happened to the Patriots offensive line. They were so dominant all season and the one game in which they fall apart is the Super Bowl.
  
• The biggest shock for me was the fact that the Patriots didn't adjust at half time. If nothing else, a Belichick-coached team always makes the adjustments it needs to make at half time. Not this time. Bizarre.
  
• Pitchers and catchers report in about another week or so.

18 - 1

So close ... so close. But, as they say, "close" only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

Patriots were totally outplayed on both sides of the ball. Giants kept blitzing and blitzing and blitzing and Patriots QB Tom Brady and the offense just couldn't get a rhythm going and the line couldn't protect Brady.

The defense was great except for when they had to be on the Giants' last drive of the game.

"Disappointing" doesn't even begin to cover it. Just really sucks that it's not going to be worth reading the Sports pages tomorrow, checking out espn.com ... no DVD commemorating an otherwise amazing season for the Patriots.

And I feel badly for Junior Seau and Randy Moss. These guys have been in the league for a long time and deserve a Super Bowl ring.

There's always next year ...

Oh, one other thing ... read an interesting stat earlier today ... in the 42-year history of the Super Bowl, the NFL's leading passer has never won the Lombardi. This year's leader? Tom Brady.

Super hype for the Super Bowl

Here's hoping the NFL doesn’t come after me for using the copyrighted words "Super Bowl" in a public blog [rolls eyes].

I haven't blogged about the Super Bowl yet because I've been wading thru the hype and hundreds of hours of TV broadcasts and thousands of newspaper column inches dedicated to number 42. Wow. Seems to get worse every year ... or maybe we here in New England are just more attuned to it because our beloved team in representing the AFC this year.

Anyway, I was getting ready to publish some thoughts here when I was watching the news tonight and saw the most ludicrous story I've seen associated with the Super Bowl yet this year.

In a nutshell, Pennsylvania Republican Senator Arlen Specter is calling for a Congressional investigation into "Spygate", saying the American people are owed an explanation by NFL Comish Roger Goodell as to why the NFL destroyed the tapes related to the scandal.

WHAT?!? Seriously? This is what Specter thinks is important for Congress to be focusing on? The country’s in a recession, healthcare is in shambles, and there's a war going on in Iraq and Afghanistan and he wants to bring Goodell before Congress, even going so far as to compare the destruction of the Spygate tapes to those involved in the CIA interrogation last year.

Um ... WHAT?!? Now, granted, the Spygate tapes being destroyed was a bit strange and leaves a lot of questions in people's minds, but Specter, an admitted hard core Eagles fan, has really made himself look like an idiot on this one. I really hope his office is flooded with angry emails and phone calls from constituents who take him to task for wasting time on this.

Anyway, back to the game ... not surprisingly, I'm picking the Patriots to win. I don't know about a score, but I will say that I think the Patriots will win by 12 ... not sure where that number comes from, but there you go.

I really like the Patriots’ defense against Eli “The Other” Manning and the Giants O-line … something tells me Belichick and co. are going to come up with looks that Manning has never seen before.

And Patriots’ QB Tom Brady just doesn’t lose a game like this. I like the fact the he and other players admitted the other day that is likely the biggest game of their lives, not just because it’s the Super Bowl, but because it’s the possibility of going 19-0.

Either way, it’s going to be a good game … possibly one for the ages.
