Superbowl Sunday

Well it's the Superbowl next Sunday, and it will be a great rematch of the Giants and Patriots. I wanted the 49ers and Ravens to make it, but what can you do? This was the best Superbowl (2008) I have ever watched, and the upset was unreal! I can't wait to see this Sunday's game, and I am hoping for another Giants conquest.

Gruesome Ear injury

Just came across this gross ear injury that Matt Hendricks of the Washington Capitals received after a puck deflected off the glass in practice.

Joe Paterno's Funeral

Joe Paterno's funeral was today, and it was attended by thousands. After the major rape scandal and hiding of Jerry Sandusky's actions, many lost a lot of respect for JoPa. This man was 85 years old and coached Penn State football for 46 years!

NFL Championship Weekend

After watching both NFL Championship games this past Sunday, I was witness to the blunders of two players each on a losing team, Kyle Williams of the San Francisco 49ers, and Billy Cundiff of the Baltimore Ravens.

Taylor Hall's Eye

Here's a link to a picture of Taylor Hall and his head wound as a result of a teammate's skate slicing his head during warm up before a game. This has sparked a huge debate whether NHL players should wear helmets during warm up. Before this, only the New York Rangers followed this belief, but after the incident the Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to as well. I think that it was an isolated incident and not common at all. Although, with pucks flying everywhere and concussions becoming a large part of the news, all players should keep their helmets on for safety.

MLB Latin Scandal

Scandals have been rocking the sports world for years, especially in the US NCAA college ranks, but also in the MLB and Latin players. The problem arising with Latin players, is that many lie of their age in order to be signed for more money when being scouted. Fausto Carmona, or the name he went by in for approximately the last 15 years, was arrested in the Dominican Republic when he went to renew his work visa.

RIP Sarah Burke

Sarah Burke, a 29 year old freestyle half pipe skier passed away yesterday, January 19, succumbing to injuries sustained in a horrible training crash. Burke had a heart attack and the lack of oxygen and blood to her brain left her in a coma, which she did not wake up from.

The Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators are the hottest team in the NHL and quickly rising up the standings. With 4 all stars, Craig Anderson, who has won back to back NHL stars of the week, and recently acquired red-hot Kyle Turris, the team is poised for a playoff run. A trade deadline deal for a top 6 forward is what GM Bryan Murray is eyeing.
