The final day of the 2019 National Football League season left a lot to be desired at many of the stadiums around the country. Teams that were fairly locked in to their positions for this weekend’s “Wild Card” playoffs kept many of their starting players on the bench—some dressed out in their uniforms and others in street clothes along the sidelines. This is one of my pet peeves during the final couple weeks of the season—healthy starters sitting on the pine while their understudies get the opportunity to play in a “real” ga...
NFL “Wild Card” Playoff Games This Weekend AFC Conference BUFFALO (10-6) at HOUSTON (10-6) 3:35 p.m. Saturday at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. (ABC and ESPN)—This looks to be an even-Steven game on paper with both teams coming into this loser-go-home event with equal records and with both teams coming off losses to weaker opponents they already beat earlier in the season. I like the Texans in this game, not only for their home-field advantage, but also for the way they finished the season, minus Sunday’s season-ender. My Proj...

Dave Rogers For The Record New Year’s Resolutions. We love to make them, then see how long (days, months, the whole year) we can keep them. The Record Newspapers asked some of our neighbors to tell us their priorities going into 2020. Because we kept adding to our list and asking with different words – and we’re human – not all respondents received the same guidelines for their answers. Hence, some replies run long and are dead serious, other are real brief and light-h...
WELCOME TO NEW DECADE 2020 We’ve come on a new decade and for me, if I make it to Jan. 3, 2020, I will have lived in ten decades. I’ve seen and experienced drastic changes in one lifetime. I recall when the 1950’s arrived my upmost goal was to see the new century 2000, 50 years away, roll around. I jokingly said I would sign a contract to make it to that time and then would be ready to go. I’m glad I didn’t sign because the Lord has given me a 20-year bonus and I’m praying for more. I’ve been asked which decade I find has be...
Dave Rogers For The Record Boom times are here for Orange County. Civic leaders see physical and fiscal growth headed our way in 2020 and beyond. “I look forward to finishing up on the projects that we have committed to and delivering on the results so that we have something tangible,” Orange Mayor Larry Spears, Jr., says. “We talk all the time about being positive, encouraging people. But in 2020, I want to find ways to deliver results and support the good things we already have here.” Of course, the most anticip...
Photo: Roy and Phyl, the newly weds, attending her prom. That same night they moved into their first apartment. A charmed life, 65 years with my partner, my wife. It was Friday, the last day of the year of 1954. The date didn’t hold any particular significant. The year had seen the New York Giants win the World Series over Cleveland in just four games. In fact, that game was the first color television broadcast. “Determine” won the Kentucky Derby. President Dwight David Eisenh...
