DIVAS

Okay so today after looking at ESPN.com it says Red Sox's EX left feilder was suppose to be suspended a week before he was traded to the LA Dodgers. A letter was apparently sent to him, his agent and Major League Baseball. He may have been a good hitter for the Sox but seriously who wants to cheer on such a diva because he won't play what he is payed to. I am sorry but althetes I am sure have a hard job working out and keeping in shape and the stress of winning but its usually something they love doing, a sport they grew up on and which has in turn through their talents made them rich I wish they could stop bitching long enough to realize how ridculous they look. How far they have come from what they used to have and FOR ONCE be grateful. It's really sad that there are people that come from the same background as Manny and they have to watch as he acts and continues to act like an immature spoiled brat.
There is a link below for more information on the Sox reject.

Titan's keep Unbeaten Record...

The Titan's came from behind to keep the unbeaten record winning against Jaguars 24-14. The team's Collins threw three touchdowns and they their defensive line dominated with Haynesworth. They came back from a 10-0 Jaguars to beat the 24-14. I watched this game and couldn't believe it I actually started to do other things because I was sure it would be a win for the Jaguars. You have to believe that some kind of force came into the Titan's mind to contribute to their win because they were playing like crap and then picked it up to keep their unbeaten record intact. I am impressed that they have done so and since I am a Pat's fan I have to hope they won't ruin it and loose the superbowl after hopefully maintaining their unbeaten record all season long. Let's hope they keep on winning, and maintain focus and not get cocky to loose the big game.

Armstrong's Return to Cycling causes Controversy with other Riders

Armstrong's Return to Cycling causes Controversy with other Riders

Lance Armstrong is coming out of his three year long retirement, since winning the Tour de France for his seventh time. Armstrong wants to be open and honest about all drug tests, which will be made public from now on. He will be working with Don Catlin, the founder of the new Anti-Doping Research Institute in Los Angeles, to make sure he proves that even after being cleared from an accusation of doping in 2006 Armstrong’s still under fire.

Although many people have been inspired by his work after struggling Testicular cancer and surviving the battle, his fellow American rider Greg Lemond, was not as thrilled about Armstrong’s return. He even went so far as to ask accusatory comments and controversial questions to both Armstrong and Catlin, who both talked over Lemond or ignored the obvious prying. Lemond even made a somewhat nasty comment saying about Armstrong, “His return is not good news. It’s like a nightmare we have all lived through these years, returning.”

After having a friend pass away at nineteen from cancer and seeing ALL her friends including myself wear the Livestrong bracelet in her honor it appalling to see someone be so rude about someone who has been through so much and succeed all obstacles in his path, and encouraging people dying of cancer to hold on and try to survive this disease and showing them that you not only can but can go onto live a great life. This other rider, Lemond, should try taking the high round and focus on his own riding, the sport, and leave worrying about Armstrong’s accused drug use to the officials who determine it through lab results. Yes, to have people being accused of doping and having to compete against someone who is as good as Armstrong, is I am sure it’s tough but there is no reason to not support someone in their field as well as admire someone who has done so well and brought so much attention to that sport.

This links are both videos of Armstrong and also an article showing more about Lemond’s comments.

Brady's DOWN!

SO.. I am a huge Patriots fan and before my fellow classmates crucify me for being a fan of them and the RED SOX, I thought that would make it go easier and lay it out that I am from Boston I lived there until I was 11 then moved to a suburb right outside of the city. I will say that Brady has become an institution around the area and even has gained praise around the country for his AWESOME skills as a quarter back but during a game earlier this week he was injured and looks like he will be out all season. Many people have been saying that the Patriots are in for a rough season I disagree strongly I don't think that the team has even only relied on Brady's skills, in my opinion they have greatly skilled other players and the alternate quarter back did just fine finishing the game in Brady's stead. I don't understand why people think ANY coach or team would rely on the skills of one player. They do not call it a TEAM for nothing. The Patriots will do just fine this season and I think it will be good for them to have this time to practice improving their skills. The Patriots no matter what kind of fan you are, have done very well and played very good games, obviously they did not do well in the Superbowl after having an unheard of perfect season. I believe that they are a talented team and they will be just fine without Brady as long as they work together and harder. I believe the team as a whole deserves a little more credit.
