ANNOUNCEMENTS!!

Congratulations to never4get!

 He picked 12 of 16 games correctly for last week's picks!! Your "prize" for winning is below. Please feel free to choose whichever one you'd love to have!! Be sure to look to make your current NFL picks by choosing from the games listed below!

**IMPORTANT**

Due to the schedule for last week, we wanted your NFL picks on Wednesday night. From now on, we will leave the picks opened until Saturday night at Midnight EST. Make sure to Freepmail your picks to MoJo2001 here. Also, we will announce the winner on the following Canteen Sports Thread. Thank you! We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Here are the "prizes" that never4get can choose from. We know it will be difficult, but you will win an ACTUAL PRIZE at the end of the regular season. Until then, choose one.



Be the envy of all your friends!! Pick this "prize" and you will learn how to drive into things and walk away clueless as ever. Would you like to learn how to drive other people's cars and total them?? Well, we've found the school for you!!



Meet Mr. Goat, otherwise known as "HEY YOU" by Mr.Tonkin, the loveable do nothing pet of Mr.Tonkin. While he doesn't necessarily restrict his dietary needs to grass, he's sure to eat you out of your house. He's as slow and dumb as Eeyore. However, you can't go wrong with a creature that never talks back. Choose Mr. Goat and you'll be happier for it!!

NOW FOR THE BIG "PRIZE"!!!

We spared no expense with this one. As a matter of fact, you won't have to pay for anything in this next "prize". Are you ready for the truly BIG "PRIZE"?
Well, here it is:



Tom's Couch with Tom laying on it! Woohoo! You'll have an instant Football and Beer Buddy for NFL games. And that's not all! We'll chip in some deodorizer to help the Couch and Tom smell good while at your house. What more could a person want??

*Disclaimer: The Canteen Sports Crew are not responsible for Tom or Tom's couch. We are not responsible for any grocery, electric, water, or cable bills. We are not responsible for any items that may be broken while Tom lives at your house. We are also not responsible for the reaction that your family may give you when you choose this "prize". We will not be held accountable for any burping or belching that you may encounter when you offer Tom beverages. We are not responsible for his, yours, or anyone else's well being. We're cheapskates. You should know that by now!!!

For everyone else that didn't win, aren't you depressed you didn't win the "prize" this week? Well, there's one way to fix that. You can win next week's "prize". Be sure to make your picks and then stay tuned for what you'll win.

Down To Business!!WHAT DID WE LEARN AFTER THE SECOND GAME?
1. The "cream puffs" do bite back!
2. Auburn's National Championship run is over!
3. USC is for real!
4. San Diego State and Wake Forest are impressive. Just ask Ohio State and NC State.


For week two!

Doing The Right Thing Award: Ohio State University has suspended sophomore running back Maurice Clarett for a year. Whether he'll return to the team next year is unsure, but MoJo is proud that Ohio State did not put football above the rules. If you break the rules, you deserve to lose your privilege of playing sports!

MoJo would be just as bad if this were another school and they let that player back for the season. What he did was wrong and now he'll pay the price. Let this be another example of being young, gifted, and stupid.

Should've Stayed Home Award: Virginia was ranked in the Top 25 going into the South Carolina game. No longer! After being pummeled by the Gamecocks, Virginia will have to fight to get back into the Top 25. Purdue was also in the same position. While they didn't drop out of the standings, it would be well advised not to take "cream puffs" for granted the next time around. Auburn should play better now that they are out of National Championship contention.

They Play Four Quarters For A Reason Award: Congratulations to the Florida Gators for an impressive scoring fest versus the highly potent Miami Hurricanes. Oh! Bummer about losing in the final minutes of the game. MoJo thought Florida seemed to give up or at least Coach Zook looked like he was playing very conservative with the play calling. It cost Florida in the end. 
"We Get No Respect" Award: NBC announcers during the Notre Dame game. Notre Dame gets no respect? Please! They get too much respect sometimes. (Most of the time!) Notre Dame is usually ranked in the Top 25 whether they deserve to be there or not. They can lose 2 games in the season and still manage to stay in the Top 10 until other undefeated schools finally get the nod to go ahead.

"SOMEONE HAS TO WIN THIS" AWARD: Buffalo still lost. Well, at least the Buffalo Bills kicked some butt this past weekend!!

"MR. BIG STUFF AWARD": Congratulations to those schools that ran up the score against really "stiff" competition. How great do you feel this week?? Michigan beating Houston 50 something to 3. Oh! You are sooo good!! Or, how about Virginia Tech whipping up on James Madison 43-0. Powerful stuff there guys!!"YOU'VE SHOULD HAVE COME" AWARD: This is dedicated to the Washington Huskies fans who spent all of the week before venting about how awful their team was. If you had the opportunity to be around any of the Huskies fans, they were ready to fire the coach and start all over. They were remembering the Don James Era with sadness. Amazing what a week makes. This weekend the fans were celebratory and not as depressed. Why? Their Huskies played the Indiana Hoosiers. (Think of them as the Cincinnati Bengals of the NCAA!)

"WE ARE OVERRATED" AWARD: Hello Auburn Tigers! Enough said! Hey! You are still ranked. For this week. Good luck the rest of the season! (Yes! This was last week and funny--it's also this week's!)



Here are the games! Good luck everyone!

Monday, Sep. 15

Dallas at N.Y. Giants, 9:00 pm
WHAT DID WE LEARN AFTER THE FIRST GAME??

1. Perhaps Kurt Warner is human after all.
2. Never cut a popular and loyal player that will play against you in the first week. HELLO NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!
3. The Cincinnati Bengals still suck!
4. So do the Chicago Bears.
5. Football experts are still annoying.
6. Commercials are better for the NFL.
7. No one chose the Houston Texans to "upset" the Miami Dolphins. Isn't that why they play the game on the field? Go figure! What a concept!
8. Randy Moss, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, is a much better player when you don't hear anything from him or about him. Congratulations for surviving the Pre-Season!
9. Officiating in the NFL is still useless.
10. The Ravens "dominating" defense couldn't even dominate the water boy last Sunday.
11. The Tuna, Bill Parcells, will have a lot of work to do.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

JERRY JONES, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, DID NOT ENTER THE FIELD ON SUNDAY!! Write this down folks. It's a historic day to mark! If the Cowboys lose again this weekend, it will be the last time this happens!!

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

I've been in regular contact with the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the national security team and my Cabinet.  We have taken all appropriate security precautions to protect the American people. Our military at home and around the world is on high alert status, and we have taken the necessary security precautions to continue the functions of your government.
 

We have been in touch with the leaders of Congress and with world leaders to assure them that we will do whatever is necessary to protect America and Americans.

I ask the American people to join me in saying a thanks for all the folks who have been fighting hard to rescue our fellow citizens and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their families.

 President Bush addresses the Nation 9-11-01

"Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.

These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.

Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.

Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts.

I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.

America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.

Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me."

This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.

None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

Thank you. Good night and God bless America."

8:35 p.m. – Bush attends national security meeting.



 

10:21 p.m. – Meeting has ended. Secret Service radio squawks with news that Bush has gone home to bed: "Trailblazer. Second floor of the residence."

Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning by Alan Jackson
"Where Were You On That September Day?"

Where were you when the world stopped turning

On that September day

Were you in the yard with your wife and children

Or working on some stage in L.A.

Did you stand there in shock

At the sight of that black smoke

Rising against that blue sky

Did you shout out in anger and fear for your neighbor

Or did you just break down and cry

--written and performed by Alan Jackson

 

 



 

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want
He makes me lie in down n green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restores my soul
He guides me in the path of righteousness
For His namesake
Yea though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For you are with me
Your rod and Your staff they comfort me
You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Dearest Canteen,
I will not be checking in too much tomorrow as I am taking Matthew (the almost 4 year old) to our local fair.
In honor of September 11th, the fair is having a SALUTE TO THE MILITARY day.
I thought it would be a good way to show the little one some good people honoring his dad!
I will be keeping the date in my mind all day and hope that we all can remember, always, that freedom is indeed not free!
Have a GREAT sports day (my Mariners are not doing so well)!
I do so appreciate you all!
(Believe it or not, this little thing took me over an hour! But I'm geting better!)
 
 
~~~~~~Goodnight all!~~~~~~
 
Thanks to all of you
who have made this a
relaxing and enjoyable
place to take a break.
We Sincerely appreciate it!

We Will Never Forget!
 
 
Marine Corp's Flag still
standing at the Pentagon after the attacks of
September 11.

February 23, 1945

Five Marines and a Navy hospital corpsman
raise the flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima,
using a piece of Japanese pipe as a mast,
on 23 Feb. 1945.

Three of the flag raisers were later killed
as the fighting raged on.

The Iwo Jima flag raising photo and subsequent
statue, came to symbolize being a Marine
.

September 12, 2001

Brooklyn Firefighters: Dan McWilliams,
George Johnson, and Billy Eisengrein
at the World Trade Center site.

McWilliams said, "Every pair of eyes that saw
that flag, got a little brighter."

(Photo by Tom Franklin -- 11 Sept 01)

 

Below is a little known tribute to September 11th.

It is not as professional as some but

I found it to be truly touching
