Keith Fitzhugh declines second chance at the NFL!

According to Yahoo News Keith Fitzhugh has chosen his family over the NFL.  Keith was released by the Jets in September when he became a conductor for the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Keith feels like this is a sturdier job and would not want to lose it to play for the jets temporarily they only called him because there two starting safeties are out for the season due to injuries.  He does not want to risk it he has a good sturdy paying job now he would of took it if he knew it was more permanent.

Is he crazy? No he is not I stand beside was he has decided. I like that he is thinking of his family if he was going to have a chance to play beyond just the rest of the season then take it but its only temporarily. I don’t blame him for wanting to keep his family financially stable. Even thou he would make more in this last part of the season then he would make all year.
Do you blame him? I don’t I just don’t understand why the Jets cut him in the first place he is a really good player. I always have went by this if a team will cut you one time they will cut you again eventually and I fell this is what Keith is also looking at. He has a really good job that pays good right now so why give it up for a temporary job?
This is a lot of peoples dream to even try out for the NFL. I know it is mine! I want to at least make the practice squad! But I do understand his decision and would most likely do the same thing if I was in his shoes!  This is actually a really smart thing to think of before just jumping into it!

Highest paid defensive player in the NFL Albert Haynesworth suspended for the season!

According to Yahoo News Albert Haynesworth the highest paid defensive player in the NFL is suspended for the remainder of the season. The Washington Redskins players reported that they are relieved with this decision they are tired of listening to his complaining. This dram has been going on between Albert and the Redskins since he has arrived. Albert’s contract is a 7 year 100 million dollar contract. But yet he does not want to play for them. In games he shows it by falling on the ground and laying there till the play is over with.

Is this ridiculous? To me this is just stupid what he is doing he is acting like a little kid. I understand not wanting to play for a certain team but Albert is taking this out of hand. Albert acts like he is the only player that doesn’t want to play somewhere but do you see them doing what he is doing NO!
To me a 100 million dollar contract is ridiculous! The Redskins are now noticing what they have gotten for their money. I think they should release him ASAP! They have already payed him 34 million up to date his pay has stopped when he was suspended. I really hope he learns his lesson.
This situation has really got to me I have been watching him since the beginning of the season and he has been doing this the whole time. I could see maturely telling them that you o not want to be there or just sticking it out and play you but off and make the most of it. But what he is doing is really child like in my eyes I would not expect this out of somebody like Albert!

High School kid 12 hours too old to play!

According to Yahoo News 19 year old Adam Sisson native of Virginia is 12 hours too old to play on his high school football team or any other sports for his senior year. Adam has dreamed of playing his senior year in high school since he was a little kid. The Sisson family has been fighting this case very hard. Adam was held back in the third grade due to a reading disorder. The Virginia school board has denied his plea saying that this is no excuse. Many people believe that this is just wrong!

This is just crazy! I could see if Adam was 20 years old he is after all only 12 hours too old I believe that this is a messed up situation. They should allow him to play he is not that old there are most likely kids that are the same age as him on the team but they were born just a few days earlier.
Why are they doing this? I have no clue but it is sad there are more kids than what people know of that are older than they are suppose to be because they were held back. I happen to be one of them kids and had a lot of friends that where as well. I got held back when I was in the first grade because I would not pay attention but I was not 19 my senior year either.
People can look at the two different ways that this is right or because he has an advantage because he is older. I don’t think that it is right I could see if he was 20 years old then maybe he has an advantage against the other kids. I hope they end up changing the decision!

Nevada Drops number 3 Boise State!

According to Yahoo News the Nevada Wolf Pack beat the number three team in the nation Boise state Broncos this win is the biggest win in school history. This win will get the Wolf Pack into a bigger bowl game but nothing major. This is more of a moral victory for the seniors on the team overall the whole team. This is something that has not happen in a long time. This game made history not only by winning but quarterback Colin Kaepernick set a NCAA record for most running touch downs and the most passing. This is the first time Nevada has beat Boise in 10 years and first time in the top 25 since 1948.

Was this a surprise? I knew all along that Nevada was going to upset the Broncos a lot of it was luck at the end with the two missed field goals by Boise. I think I was more I wanted to see the under dogs knock off the number three team in the nation. This was a huge win for the school.
Why is Nevada still ranked low? It is all about the conference that they play in the WAC does not have many strong teams and does not get any respect that is why Boise is moving to the Mountain West next season but is kind of a letdown because of the departure of TCU another good team. Nevada still has a good record they are a one loss team.
This is a good move for Boise to show that the WAC does have some good teams in it but the problem is that there are a lot of weak teams in the WAC too. This was over all a good win for the Wolf Pack it probably meant a lot for the seniors more than anything first time beating Boise state. I was after all pulling for Nevada to win!

Andre Johnson recieves the Game ball after Fight!

According to Yahoo News Houston Texans Head coach gave Andre Johnson the game ball. It seemed to be a little awkward because what happen during the game it was more than catching the ball. Andre Johnson had gotten into a fist fight with the Titans Corner Cortland Finnegan. This fight made this game look like a Hockey game.  Coach Kubiak gave Andre the ball for catching the Ball 60 times for the 8th straight season. It just happen in a awkward time.

What do you think? I think the time was awkward because of the fight Andre got into earlier that night. But the coach did the right thing by giving Andre the ball showing him the organization appreciates what he has done for them. The Fight wasn’t even his Fault.
Do you blame Andre for his actions? I know that his actions are all in his hands. But there is a certain time when you get fed up I mean I would Cortland is known for being one of the dirtiest players in the league he was giving Andre cheap shots all night. I know It was wrong to do what he did but I don’t take anything from him I would have blown up too he told the refs about it and they would not stop him.
Does this put a bad name on Andre? I don’t think it should because Cortland deserved what he got. He is known for doing things like this that’s why I believe his fine should have been higher than what it was but both players got the same amount for the fine. Andre will continue to do what he does dominate on the football field.  


TCU moves to the Big East!

According to Yahoo News Texas Christian University is moving conferences to play in the Big East. This may sound funny because Texas is not in the East but nor is it in the West and is absolutely home to no Mountains. So as you can see it is not the location. This move is being made so that TCU can get the respect they deserve. This move will also bring the school more money to their program.  Gary Patterson is happy with the move because it is a football power House joining a Power House conference.

Does this sound funny to you? TCU moving to the Big East doesn’t sound any funnier than TCU being in the Mountain West. Texas is not in the West or is it in the East and there are no Mountains there. There are a lot of teams that are in different conferences than their location. But then again there are many teams that are in the conference due to location.
What’s so good about moving conferences? The biggest thing is that TCU will get the respect that they deserve if they move to the Big East and continue to win. This move will bring more TV games for the Horn Frogs which means more money this is all around a good move for TCU.
All around I really like this move for the Horn Frogs they are a better team than what people give them respect for being. This will bring them more money which is also a good thing for the team and the school. I knew they would change conferences just didn’t know which one.

St,Louis Missouri Tops crime charts!

According to Yahoo News St, Louis Missouri is the United States most dangerous city! St Louis had 2,071.1 crimes per 100,000 people and the nations other cities averages 429.4 so there is a big gapping difference in the crime!  This is why St Louis topped the charts. St Louis averages 4.5 murders per day! All of these number are high they mayor said we as a city our not proud of this. The police chief said that these are ridiculous numbers. St Louis is the most investigated city in the U.S.

Is this a surprise? Not to me if you been to St Louis this would be no surprise to you! There are parts of St Louis that you don’t go if you are white and if you don’t know anyone or don’t have any business down there.  I am from St Louis and I will tell you straight up there are parts that I won’t even go in!
Why are these numbers so high? A lot of this has to do with poverty, low income and the economy. This will most likely never change St Louis was always like this even when the city was majority white!  This really makes us all from St Louis look bad and lowers the tourist rate people are afraid to come to St Louis because of this!
I still love St Louis that will never change but the worse are economy gets the more the murder rate and crime rates will rise. I wish that all of this would go really low but it just wouldn’t be St Louis without all of the crimes that we are known for would we?
