Sights and sounds from Fiesta Bowl
A running notebook for the Fiesta Bowl between Ohio State and Texas: 8 p.m. — Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer add nothing to FOX’s pregame show. Former Ohio State tailback Eddie George looks like a rocket scientist compared to Switzer. 8:10 — The Texas marching band is warming up the crowd for Ohio State’s marching band. That’s like the Jonas Brothers opening for The Who. 8:18 — Jim Tressel wasn’t just blowing smoke. First play from scrimmage and Todd Boeckman is at quarterback and Terrelle Pryor is split wide. 8:30 — Alex Boone is getting abused by Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo. 8:35 — Aaron Pettrey hits from 51 yards. Ohio State 3, Texas 0. The Buckeyes also led against Florida two years ago and LSU last season. Just thought I’d point that out. 8:49 — Chris “Beanie” Wells is looking good, with two runs of 20-plus yards thus far. He looks like a top—15 NFL draft pick. I don’t care about his injury history. He’d look good in a Cleveland Browns uniform.

More resolutions we won’t keep
What is it about the start of a new year that makes us again resolve to put a stop to our bad habits and embrace the things we knew all along we should have been doing?
Force of habit, probably.
Owner’s time is right now
Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner was apparently feeling sick last Monday due to a flu bug.
It could easily have been the effects of watching the Browns play 16 games and win just four that had Lerner feeling under the weather.
Just another-case of history repeating
A famous Trumbull County lawyer once said, “History repeats itself. That’s one of the things wrong with history.”
Well I don’t usually take on titans like our former Kinsman resident Clarence Darrow, but on this one I beg to differ.
