How many more bombshells can fall? Ohio St version.
Wow. Those letters to that word should be much bigger but the word is right on cue. What is going on and how much more dirt will be dug up on thee Ohio St. Football program? As if things couldn't get any worse former players are coming forward and alleging there lack of judgement as well. Now before I go any further realize this kinda stuff goes on at a lot of colleges and yes I'll even say to a degree my Beloved Notre Dame. Now getting back to the story is Ray Small who was a receiver between 2006-2009 and had received 4 rings for what we perceived to be there success on the field. As Lee Corso would say Not so fast my friend. The admission from Small saying everyone was doing it which brings up another question. Do the players not have any more pride than to sell of there Championship rings? I think we both now know the answer to that as Small sold off 2 of his rings to pay for everyday living expenses.But to throw everyone under the bus and say this was a widespread thing going on with all these wrong doing's. Stupidity has to figure in here somewhere wouldn't you think? The NCAA is looking into 50 transactions between Ohio St. and there families and 2 car dealerships. Stay tuned there. Can you say Death Sentence!! How much more has to come out before this happens to a once proud University. If after the dust has settled and Tressel and his A.D. haven't lost there jobs OMG just wait for Pandora's box to be opened across the nation with similar stories covering the Tabloids. For an in depth look into this story I've enclosed the latest news to add to this story.

Tellin it like it is Ray Lewis
I recently watched a video as you'll have a chance to see in the link I've provided. I didn't think initially what he was saying was the message that needed to get out but after further watching it's exactly the message that needed to get out. This is a highly successful NFL player who hasn't always done things right and there's been controversy from time to time. The way he spends his off time like probably 40-50% of the players helping those less fortunate and donating there time (Which they have plenty of right now) is something to behold. I feel Ray has really grown up and can really tell from his life experiences how things really are. It's hard to believe there may not be an NFL season because of 9 Billion dollars that the league can't figure out how to divvy up. Wouldn't us common people like to have this problem? He talks of crime going up and things getting ugly if there's not a season. To this I say times are tough for everyone because of our economic state but that doesn't mean I'm going on a rampage. Watch the clip below and draw your own conclusions and let me know what you think.

Nag,Nag,Nag...Get over it!!
I think the title line is meant for me but let me state my case 1st. As most of you know I now have a night time job so therefore I have plenty of time to eat,(no complaints) and listen to the radio..again no complaints..ahh but not so fast. Have you ever talked to someone about a particular topic and they left you scratching your head and wondering just what they said? This is the case as I listen to the new 93.5,95.3 the New Radio station nightly that has ESPN commentary and a great Host whom I like in Jason Smith. Where I'm perplexed is the range of discussion about the different sports,well actually the 3 major sports. I think you know where I'm going with this don't you? I'm a Huge Hockey fan and Love my Boston Bruins,an original 6 franchise. It's as if Hockey doesn't exist. I've gotta tell ya this year in particular has seen most of the playoff series going 7 games with bone crunching hit's,snipers on the loose for 1 timers and of course dynamic Goaltending. The only thing I can figure is ever since that lockout for the NHL which cost's them the ESPN contract the network has pretty much washed there hands of the whole situation. Now granted I'm not a Golf fan,Soccer fan,Racing fan and so on and to that I say,each to his or her own. My Bruins made history last year for all the wrong reasons last year when they were up 3-0 in the 2nd round of the playoffs against the Flyers and 3-0 in Game 7,,,needless to say all that wasn't just a bad dream..they never recovered and will forever be associated with choking and dare I dare making history. Fast forward a year with exactly the same circumstances and the Bruins would redeem themselves in a big way. They are 1 series away from returning to playing in the Lord Stanley Cup Finals. Tampa Bay is the only thing standing in there way. How about Chicago falling behind Vancouver 3 games to none and coming back to force a game 7 before bowing out? Chicago knocked out Vancouver the last 2 years so payback you might say. Your going to tell me these 2 stories alone aren't worth sharing on the airwaves? Intrigue,fast paced,Action from end to end is what the NHL is all about. It's a travesty there's not more coverage of this great sport..(Me Speaking obviousely). Try watching sometime and see if you don't think it's entertaining.

Please do the White Sox a favor and FIRE OZZIE GUILLEN
Look let's get down to it. Ozzie for all he was as a player is nothing as a manager but a sideshow and a distraction to his team. He has voiced his displeasure with playing in Arizona because of the Illegal Alien/Immigrant issues. He's always lashing back at other teams players if he even hears something he doesn't like. In losing 17 of the last 21 games and holding down the bottom half of his division change is inevitable. Never thought I'd say but even the Cubbies are playing better than they are. Last I heard there batting a paltry .210 which is simply unacceptable at this level. Oh did I mention they've been the victim of a no hitter here this past week? Players tend to distance themselves from Coaches who have another agenda and although I don't know what his is getting his team to play better is not 1 of them. Whats that? Yeah,yeah he's won a World Series. Seems like years ago but this was the high point in his Coaching while with the Sox. Just do a Youtube search of Ozzie Guillen and I think you'll agree he needs to go so the White Sox can start playing ball in front of there home crowds at The Cell and competing again.
Commentary about Steelers RB
You know coming out of college (Illinois) Reshard Mendenhall had a bright future ahead of him. Firmly NFL bound the sky was the limit and then it happened. Twitter this and that and everything in between of nothing but pure nonsense relating to 9/11 and Bin Laden which brings me to this. Which one will catch up to him 1st temptation or stupidity? I'm guessing the latter. To merely question the fact that Airplanes can't take down a building much less the twin towers is asinine by any account. And as if in the same sentence talking about how we as people can't possibly relish or express our views in such a way that quite frankly don't agree with his. Conspiracy theory is all I've heard and I for one am tired of hearing about it already. Whats' done is done. Bin Laden is dead and the twin towers and no more (sadly),ok the last part only. An evil man had been rid of this earth who did nothing but thumb his nose @ the US of A and kill innocent people. Wouldn't be surprised if Reshard tweeted next the Holocaust didn't happen. Shhhh stranger things have happened. It never ceases to amaze me loving the sporting world the way I do how some of the dumbest people come from there. Let's formally add Reshard to that list.
