Old Man's Still Got It

Do you remember back when Ladainian Tomlinson was the best back in the league?  Those were the good ole days.  He was incredible.  He broke the NFL record of rushing TD's in a single season with an astounding 28 while breaking the record for total TD's with 31.  He was always the best running back in the league until everyone started calling him old.  And then one fateful day he found himself strucken with turf toe.  Now at the ripe age of 31 he is once again silencing critics with electryfing scampers some of which end up in the endzone.  He is averaging an incredible 5.6 yards per carry. He is the 16th best rusher in the league and he isn't even the feature back and only on 12 attempts. He'll definately be getting plenty of attempts with the fragile Shonn Greene starting running back.  Tony Dorsett and Emmit Smith has nothing on the Ladainian Tomlinson.

Worse than the Yankees?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have just earned the honor to be the first to 100 loses this season.  They are still trying to keep in the playoff race only meager 31.5 games back in their division.  They have had 276 more runs scored against them than they have scored.  They have given up more runs than any team in the league, only two others gave up 800 (pirates are at 835).  Their team batting average is at an astounding .241 which ranks them among the worst in the league.  Their pitching has a solid 5.07 era which ranks them at 29th in the league.  In the mist of all of their terribleness they still have a glimmer of hope... not really.  Well at least they are one of the most beloved teams in baseball, just because everyone's real favorite team can destroy the pirates.

CJ Spiller

CJ Spiller is a running back out of Clemson University.  He was drafted ninth overall by the Buffalo Bills.  The Bills already have a good backfield with Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch, but no team couldn't use a CJ Spiller.  He shocked crowds at Clemson, the combine and in the preseason.  At Clemson he rushed for over 1200 yards(12 TD) and more than 500 yards receiving, which broke the acc all purpose yards record.  In the combine he ran a 4.37 40 yard dash.  He followed that by many electrifying rushes many that went for touchdowns.  As hard as it would be to run with an offensive line that might as well be little school girls trying to stop giant 300 pound men. The Bills finally gave him a chance after a poor showing in his first ever regular season game and he did not disappoint.  He caught his first ever NFL touchdown and took back a 95-yard kickoff for his second.  The Bills need to understand with someone so athletic and gifted on your team you should get him the ball as much as possible. 

Vacations to the Farm

Ahh the farm, one of the most peaceful places in the world, owned by the great, Uncle Mike.  This house is absolutely incredible.  The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all together in the center of the house.  Above these spectacular rooms there are rafters that run from the loft across the rooms and others from wall to wall.  On these rafters there is loads of stuff hanging down, anything you can imagine go ahead name something I'll bet he has it.  It is the most interesting place that I have ever been in.  Every time I go there it is worth the drive to the Huzzah valley past St. Louis.  There is no technology at all no reception or TV just you the people and games you brought and the wilderness.  We would spend our days relaxing and swimming in the crystal clear water on his land.  That place is amazing it has the most perfect skipping rocks.  My incredible rock throwing and skipping skills were on display when I knocked a water bottle off of a fallen tree and also was the the first ever in the history of the Farm to skip a rock into the bottle, it must have taken a gazillion rocks though.  When we came home most of the time my cousins Jayde and Alana, would want to play hide and go seek, in the house.  I am very, very bad at that game, I don't know why it might be since I'm about a hundred times the size of my 10 and 4 year old cousins, so I found myself being it roughly 98% of the time. I also went to Florida and although getting roasted like a Christmas ham on the beach was fun going to the farm was just as fun if not funner.

Fine peice of machinery

You may or may not know that I have driven a beautiful, red, 1994 Poniac Grand Prix.  To look at it you can only wish that you owned one.  It is probably the most coveted car ever created, who doesn't want one?  But just like anything else it has it's flaws.  For instance, when I decide to use the brakes this highly tuned vehicle shakes, or rattles whatever you want to call it.  That was just one problem, of the many with this heaven sent automobile.  The most recent occurring at the wee hours of 7:30 as I was leaving for school.  It started just like any other trip to my gorgeous car skipping down the walkway behind the house to the driveway, humming my favorite tunes.  Then as I approached this goddess I reached to door handle and gently pull it.  All of the sudden I hear a snap and pieces of my baby rattling around inside the door.  So with my door latched closed I had no choice but to climb in through passenger side door to get into the drivers seat.  It is very uncomfortable crawling over a seat and a gearshift to get to where I needed to be.  I can only pray that this will get fixed soon so I don't pull a hammy getting into my car.

Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is a 21 year old superstar in the NBA.  Just last year he became the youngest ever NBA scoring leader while averaged 30.1 ppg.  When he was just a young lad as a rookie in the NBA he averaged 20.3 ppg, thats pretty good for a rookie.  Kobe Bryant only averaged a miniscule 7.6 ppg when he was a rookie and look what he is now.  You may say thats Kobe though, he is terrible, Dwayne Wade only averaged 16.2 ppg as a rookie and he has now risen to become a NBA champion.  I'll bet the Trail Blazers feel dumb after drafting Greg Oden ahead of Kevin Durant.  That poor coach he probally cries himself to sleep every night since then thinking about what he could have had.

Tyler's Man Crush

Have you ever had a weird stalkerish feeling toward someone?  Well, if you haven't I'll bet you know someone who does.  For example Tyler Calhoun, a normal high school student, has the biggest man crush I have ever seen.  Tyler is in love with Steve Nash.  Not like a fruity love more like a worshiping love.  I think if he ever got close enough he might capture him and keep him locked in his house so he could watch him play basketball all day.  He is a really good basketball player but you have to know your boundaries.  Nash should definitely get a restraining order against Tyler if he ever gets a chance, just to be safe.  I don't know what it is about Steve Nash, maybe its that he is Canadaian or maybe his long flowing locks of hair, but he needs to keep his distance from Tyler.

BCS

NCAA football is operating under a very flawed system.  I enjoy the bowl games but to determine the national champion they should have some sort of playoff.  Their are years when teams have a perfect season but don't have the chance to compete for a championship.  Most everyone who knows how the BCS works would agree that what they are doing isn't getting the job done, and it needs improvement.  NCAA football has really got this wrong and should change it so they would no longer have the most flawed sports system in the country.
