On The Road Again
Written by Rudy on February 03, 2012 - 9:43 am -It's Friday, Friday, gotta read the Rudy Report on Friday, and now you have the song stuck in your head once again, today on "National Thank Your Mailman Day." It's important to be alert when driving a car. You always have to take into account the mistakes of others. Therefore, it is nice when you are warned, like, for example, by an appropriate license plate...
This is the last Rudy Report before the Giants beat the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl. Go Giants! (Note: The Rudy Report is an unbiased publication that simply knows which team is better.) Dirk Nowitzki has announced that he may retire from basketball in two years. LeBron James is considering participating in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Meanwhile, the Knicks lost a close game against Chicago.
The Rudy Report says Happy Birthday to Retief Goosen, Vlade Divac, Marty Jannetty, and German national team coach Joachim "Jogi" Loew. On this day in 2008, the New York Giants defeated the 18-0 New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, in what is known as one of the greatest upsets in sports history. Let's do it again! Go Giants!!!! Have a great Super Bowl Weekend, there is no new Dear Rudy right now, but learn something that actually isn't that interesting (hey, at least I'm honest) about baseball in the Random Fact section!
The Cost of the Bowl - Hosting the Super Bowl will create costs for Indianapolis in excess of $40 million, that have to be covered by taxpayers, but the city also benefits from the event. Read here.

Written by Rudy on February 02, 2012 - 8:40 am -The Rudy Report would like to congratulate you for reading this report, because it shows that you have made the right choice in your life, today on "National Self Renewal Day." You know the situation: You go out, you have a good time with your friends, and you want to take pictures so that you can remember the fun times. However, always know who you're dancing with. And bring a camera with a flash to make sure nobody gets left out...

On this day in 1887, the first Groundhog Day was observed in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Super Bowl Seats
Written by Rudy on February 01, 2012 - 10:48 am -If you have read any other Rudy Report this February, it was a cheap copy and simply fake, because this is the first one of the month, today on "National Senior Independence Day." The Super Bowl is coming up and Rudy is sure that you're also getting excited about the imminent victory of the New York Giants over the New England Patriots. If you don't have any tickets, you may be able to sneak past security and go unnoticed as long as you're prepared...
Several insiders suggest that Peyton Manning is close to announcing the end of his career. Let's hope he won't pull a Brett Favre.

And, in the NHL, the New York Islanders beat Carolina, while the Rangers lost against New Jersey in a shoot-out.
The Rudy Report says Happy Birthday to Phil Ivey, Gabriel Batistuta, Mike Kitchen, and Slovenian soccer legend Zlatko Zahovic (who, most likely, is a big fan of rock band ZZ Top).

Jobs Report
Written by Rudy on January 31, 2012 - 7:41 am -The Rudy Report thinks that young readers are our future, and if some kids have talents, they should be allowed to display them, like, for example, if they know how to assemble an iPhone in India, today on "National Child Labor Day." However, in this economy, it is getting increasingly harder for kids to find jobs, even in sweat shops (known as saunas in Europe). Some folks, who always seem to prosper, are still hiring though. If you wanna work here...

Indian Idol
Written by Rudy on January 30, 2012 - 1:16 am -This is the Rudy Report and it is January 30th, and you know what that means.... that's right, it does not mean anything, today on "National Yodel for Your Neighbors Day" (one of Rudy's favorite holidays). While there are many people all over the world that want to start trouble, Peter Singh is certainly not one of them. Lesser known in the Western world, he is a performer in India. American Idol contestants would stand no chance against him. His slogan leaves nothing to be desired...
There are rumors that LeBron James is unhappy at the Miami Heat and wants to return to Cleveland. By the way, the Knicks lost again, this time against Houston. At the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in a spectacular 5-set match to win the championship. Victoria Azarenka beat Maria Sharapova to win the women's trophy. There was also the NFL Pro Bowl, but nobody watched it with all eyes on the Super Bowl on Sunday. At the Handball European Championships, Denmark defeated Serbia in the final to capture the title. And, at the NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa, Team Chara beat Team Alfredsson 12-9, with New York Ranger Marian Gaborik being voted MVP and scoring twice against his Ranger teammate goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
