The “Boondocks” clinched the first half honors on the Thursday Afternoon Senior league. They had a comfortable 21.5 point lead over my Leaker’s team!! Congrats fellas!
Well, Packer fans, the Green and Gold need one more win to get into the “Big Game” on February 7th!!! I’m predicting a 38-27 win over Tampa Bay this coming Sunday. I think the Buffalo Bills are going to sneak by the K.C. Chiefs!! So Packers-Chiefs in the Super Bowl!!!!
I’m going to feature a new feature in the Rockpile starting this week!! It is simply called Baby Boomers! (Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They are currently between 57-75 years old). I know there are a few people out there that are a couple years older (close enough).
Here’s our first question:
Q. Who hosted the Howdy Doody show??
A. Buffalo Bob Smith
Keep track of your correct answers. There will be some tougher questions down the road!!!
