Sad Day at South Bend

Recently a college student at Notre Dame died in a freak accident.  The student was filming the football practice when the scissor lift fell over.  He later died at the hospital.  This is very sad because he was just doing his job and its terrible that this is how he passed.  Yesterday was a very bad day weather wise and it was said to believe the winds were gusting over 51 mph at South Bend.  What are your reactions to this story?

Dixon to the Rescue!

Saturday night on Interstate 279 North, a car swerved and hit the concrete barrier in the middle of the interstate.  It was a very horrific crash and the first person on scene to lend a hand was can you believe it, Jamie Dixon.  He said he didn't think anyone would survive however he helped pull a woman out of the car through the windshield and he received several minor cuts on his hands.  The driver was said to have fled the crash.  It is amazing and nice to see people help each other out when things like this happen whether it's a random person or someone with a little fame like Jamie Dixon.  What are your reactions to Jamie Dixon's good Samaritan act?

Texas Roast

The Rangers have made it to their first World Series! This is an amazing feat and I am very happy for them.  It is very nice to see the underdog win especially against the Yankees.  The Rangers have been a force in all aspects of the game with Cliff Lee on the mound and Josh Hamilton at the plate.  I will be a great World Series if they play the Giants in my opinion since they are underdogs as well and have a chance to beat the Phillies in game six.  What are your thoughts on the Rangers and the Playoffs in general?

75K Hit

James Harrieson was fined 75K for his hits on the Browns this past Sunday.  It is sad that just because of one week several dangerous hits occured on players that the NFL has finally put its foot down.  To me this is garbage.  These guys play this game and know the possible injuries that can occur all so they can make millions.  The NFL rides on these aggressive hard hits thats why we all tune in on Sunday afternoon and evening.  This is America's sport now and America has an infatuation with violence and thats something that football has, a violent contact fast paced system.  How do you feel about the NFL now and the fines on the players involved in week 6?

Empty Pockets after Lockout?

The news on the potential NFL lockout next year are starting to come to a head and could be devastating.  The NFL could lose 1 billion dollars after the March 3 collective bargaining agreement.  This to me is not very shocking considering the NFL is the most popular sport in America however, it is a very large number indeed.  Here is another scary number, 8 million.  This is the amount that each team could lose for every canceled home game.  These teams make revenue for their cities through various things such as restaurants, hotel accommodations and parking.  Hopefully this will not happen, but what are some of your thoughts on the possible lockout?

Big Shoes to Fill

The Braves recently lost their World Series dreams as well as their skipper.  Bobby Cox who announced his retirement earlier this season after the Braves concluded their 2010 showing.  Cox has been managing for 29 years and is most likely to be inducted into the hall.  Apparently the next skipper is going to be Fredi Gonazalez former Marlins manager.  Whoever it may be they will have a tough task at filling the shoes Cox left.  Who do you think will manage the Braves next season and what do you think of Bobby Cox managerial career?

Baylor Haymaker

Baylor University indefinitely suspended their leading basketball scorer LaceDarius Dunn for aggravated assault.  He surrendered to police after breaking his girlfriends jaw in an altercation. However the girls father said she didn't have a broken jaw at all and that someone was making something up.  Hopefully in the upcoming days the police and the university will gather the facts and settle this.  What do you think about this story and what are the possible dangers the basketball team could face this season?

PEDdling Situation

Recently strong safety Steven Gregory of the San Diego Chargers was suspended four games for performance enhancing drugs.  This is a shame because this guy was having his best season in the NFL to date.  Gregory said "I was completely shocked to find out about this positive test from May during the off-season. I have never knowingly used any form of performance enhancing substance, however as an athlete I know that I am responsible for everything that goes into my body."  I feel sorry for him but the NFL has a strict policy just like MLB.  It is still awful to see how our society is with PEDs and yes, it has toned down a little bit but it will always be a factor in sports no matter what.  How do you guys feel about this story or PEDs in general?
