BBC Announces The New Dr Who

Posted By Paul on January 4, 2009

I’ve loved this show (Dr Who) since back in the early 70’s and I’ve especially enjoyed the new version that has been on the last several years. David Tennant has easily become my favorite of all the Dr Who’s.

Now, the BBC has named its new “Doctor Who” to replace Tennant, who’s played the Time Lord since 2005, but will step away from the role after filming a series of specials slated to air this year. Smith will begin filming this summer for episodes scheduled to debut in 2010.

Broncos fire longtime coach Shanahan

As a follow-up to Sunday’s post

From Adam Schefter on NFL.com:

The blockbuster of the coaching season just came in: The Denver Broncos fired Mike Shanahan.

Shanahan had three years and upwards of $20 million remaining on his contract.

Shanahan, who just completed his 14th season at the helm of the Broncos, was the longest tenured coach in franchise history. He also held the title of executive vice president of football operations.

The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach guided the Broncos to nine winning seasons, seven playoff berths and three conference championships. The Broncos finished 8-8 this season, missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

At least I’m not a Broncos fan…

Football hasn’t been especially nice to me lately.

5 of my fantasy football teams were good enough to make it to the championship bracket of their respective leagues. Four of those teams lost in the 1st round. The one remaining team, which had won for 13 consecutive weeks, lost by 100 points in the championship.

I organized a College Bowl Games Pick’em group. The first 8 bowl games played resulted in an 0-8 record for me.

I’m a life-long Buffalo Bills fan. ‘Nuf said there….

But at least I’m not a Denver Broncos fan…

1st place every week of the season, and they are not going to the playoffs. That coaching mastermind genius, Norv Turner, crafted the perfect game plan and the San Diego Chargers absolutely destroyed and demolished the Broncos and their clueless, bumbling excuse of coach, Mike Shanahan.

One bright spot for me is that none of tonight’s drama would have been possible had my beloved Bills not upset the pitiful Broncos last week…
