Can He Do It?

Ichiro has won his 10 consecutive Gold Glove award.  This is an amazing feat considering he is only the fifth outfield to ever win 10 consecutively.  He is currently tied with Ken Griffey Jr. and Andruw Jones with 10 and the only two in front of him are Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente.  I think Ichiro has a great shot at getting 13 but I really hope he doesn't.  I love Clemente and Mays and it is just nice to see those names at the top but if he does it, I will applaud him.  Records are meant to be broken.  Do you think he will get three more Gold Gloves?

Rare Indeed

Recently a rare Honus Wagner baseball card was sold for $262,000.  There are only 60 of them known to exist.  The funny thing is the card was sold by The School Sisters of Notre Dame after one of the deceased nuns brother gave them the card.  The nuns will receive $220,000 for the card.  Sister Virginia Muller said "the proceeds will go to the order's ministries in more than 30 countries around the world."  What are your thoughts and reaction from this story?

Meeting Adjourned

James Harrison recently met with Roger Goodell the other day about the rules on illegal hits in the NFL. Harrison said the meeting was "semi-productive".  Harrison spoke his mind about the illegal hits and thought he gave Goodell and the NFL a better understanding of where he was coming from and he received somewhat a better understanding of what Goodell was informing.  Troy Polamalu said Goodell has created a sense of paranoia around the league and he and many others do not like it.  By the way, Harrison was fined again for his late hit on Brees Sunday night costing him 20K.   What are your thoughts on Goodell?  Do you think he has too much power?  I think he does.

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?
