Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
Andrew Wyeth, popular American Painter died today in his home according to the Washington Post. Having grown up in the Philadelphia area I’ve had the privelege of seeing his work first hand and my mom even has an Andrew Wyeth print hanging in her house.
Andrew Wyeth painted realistic scenes, often of fall and winter landscapes and always of people and places he knew. Here is one of my favorites.

I think the thing I like most about Andrew Wyeth’s paintings is that they are so honest. They reflects the simple beauty of the world around us.

The Detroit Lions just hired a new head coach in Jim Schwartz. Formerly the Tenessee Titan’s defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz is known as profesional and preparred.
John Niyo of the Detroit News Reports Jim Schwartz as saying:
"No. 1, I don’t shy away from a challenge, and I think that it’s important in the NFL to have that kind of attitude," said Schwartz, a married father of three young children. "Where we were in Tennessee last year was not where we were a few years ago. And one of the best feelings in sports is turning something around."
In Detroit, that’ll mean rebuilding a defense that ranked as the league’s worst the last two years, allowing a whopping 517 points last year — second-most in NFL history. Schwartz’s Titans, meanwhile, boasted the NFL’s second-best scoring defense in 2008, allowing just 14.6 points per game. Tennessee also ranked in the top seven in total defense the last two seasons.
Detroit has a long way to go, but coaches definately make the team, and although my bother-in-law (an avid Titans fan) will be sad to see Jim Schwartz leave, I am happy for any success Detroit can have right now. Because they certainly aren’t having any luck selling cars at the moment.
