The World According to Josh » Sports http://joshhaley.com a good sample of just about everything Thu, 20 May 2010 18:07:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Teach a Man to Fish… http://joshhaley.com/2008/05/13/teach-a-man-to-fish/ http://joshhaley.com/2008/05/13/teach-a-man-to-fish/#comments Tue, 13 May 2008 23:06:33 +0000 Josh Haley http://joshhaley.com/2008/05/13/teach-a-man-to-fish/ All I did was show Zack how to cast. We used lures which are easy to manage and don’t stink. He did a better job casting each time he did it kept it up for a bout an hour and a half.

Then, after it got dark, he hooked one and I jumped over to keep him from losing the pole or going into the drink himself. 10 minutes later…

He caught a 12 pound, 27″ red drum fish, a.k.a. redfish. This is the first one of this size that has been seen by any of us! Sarah was also key in helping land this awesome fish, as she netted it when we brought it close to the dock. I love seeing teamwork amongst my kids!

Note in this shot how the fish looks even bigger! The trick is to hold it out toward the camera. Heh heh.

Congrats, Zack!

A good lesson to us all, no? Watch how disgusted this guy is with himself, and rightfully so.

I am not one of you. This picture sums up why I never really got into baseball and simultaneously shows how I feel when I am forced to watch the game. Oh, and it’s a good thing he wore a helmet.

My Dad used to ALWAYS say this during football season. Of course, he was right, and for most of football-loving America tonight, they got to see why.

Dallas 25, Buffalo 24. The “Miracle in Buffalo”: a final 2 seconds field goal from an impossible 53 yards, successfully kicked not once, but twice, (thanks to an “ice-out” last second time-out by the Bill’s coach) by rookie kicker Nick Folk!

I have to admit, the Bills fans were ready, loud and energetictonight, causing the Cowboys all kinds of trouble. But as Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo stated after the game, his team is “resilient” and was able to dig him out of the hole he dug with 5 interceptions.

I almost had a freaking heart attack tonight, watching the Cowboys blunder left and right! SO many close calls! The Bills had the game all but wrapped up and they managed to still blow it. But hey, America is God’s country, right? And the Cowboys are America’s team, so…you do the math. ;)

The Cowboys have some serious work to do to get ready for the Patriots next week, but for the next 6 days, The Cowboys are 5-0, undefeated thus far. The Patriots are 5-0 as well, so someone is going home crying next week.

I have always and always will love the Cowboys. I bleed blue. Never EVER give up on the Cowboys!
