Sean Taylor 1983-2007 

It’s gruesome to even think about waking up and knowing you are trapped in your bedroom and listening to the noises of a criminal in your home. Sean Taylor met his demise outside his own bedroom as his girlfriend and little child cowered [...]

The Eagles Put Pressure on the Patriots, but they can’t pull off a Win

The Eagles loose to the Patriots by three points which gave me an unsettling flashback from the 2004 Super Bowl XXIX loss.
The Eagles played a surprisingly good game against the Patriots with AJ Feeley in the quarterback spot. I actually thought this game was going to be a blow out at first. I was in [...]

That Kid off the Bench

Why backup quarterback is the most important position in football.

My Weekly Sports Journey for the week ending November 16, 2007

Melo is my choice

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are close friends. They shared the League’s spotlight during the summer of 2003 when they headlined the draft, and quickly began a rivalry that might one day match the confrontations that existed between Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, Jerry West and Walter Frazier or Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
Both young [...]

Oregon at the Two Spot, Exactly Where They Don’t Want to Be

Why this year No. 2 has gotten the oust week in and week out.
In the society we live in we have weaved this wild thing called competitiveness into our lives.  Whether it is finishing first in our class, at our jobs or even waiting in line.  Let’s face it; we all want to be numero [...]

The Cowboys Outshine the Giants

Cowboys look fantastic in 31-20 win against New York. The Defense was on point sacking Eli Manning five times & intercepting him twice. And Romo & Owens once again showed why they are a perfect pairing.
