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?

Vicks back and better than ever!

According to Yahoo News Michael Vick had a game to remember Monday night. Vick also went down in history for most points and yards in a single first quarter of a game.  Vick has done this all season he is at a peak in his game that he has never been at before he was a runner now Vick is a passer and run comes second. Vick is the only quarterback in the NFL like him right now he is the absolute best athlete In the league right now he is the MVP at this point and if he keeps it up he will keep it at that.

Is this a surprise to you? Not to me I believed in Vick making his return I felt sorry for him he had the world against him wanting him to fail. Nobody expected Vick to walk out of prison and do what he is doing today on the field he is better than he has ever been.

Will Vick be the MVP? He has a good shot at it if he keeps doing what he is doing he is the absolute best athlete on the field right now! People can argue it all they want even the experts and other NFL players are saying the same thing right now. I always thought Vick was good!

Has anything changed? Not in my eyes Vick has always been good at doing what he does best and that’s playing football. I am glad that Vick came back to the NFL and proved a point to people that people can change everybody deserves a second chance people need to understand that!

Todd Haley refuses hand shake in Denver!

According to Yahoo News Todd Haley would not shake Josh McDaniel’s hand after the Denver game. Todd felt that they were going out a little too much on Denver’s side line trying to run the score up. He felt like he was also cheated when they would not review a play that was clearly reviewable the cameras just did not record it. It seemed to the chiefs that the Denver side line was trying to make things personal or maybe make a statement to the chiefs and Coach Haley did not like what he saw resulting in not shaking McDaniel’s hand after the game.

Was it rude? It was kind of rude but you have to understand where Todd was coming from. It was messed up what the Denver sideline was doing out on the field and by the coach trying to run the score up purposely. I still don’t think it was that big of a deal!

Why does the news make it such a big deal? I think that is their job for the most part to blow things up that is how the news works and has worked for a long time. I was a big deal to a certain extent by Todd just being rude it didn’t put a good picture to his face for a lot of people.

I still have a lot of respect for Todd he is a good coach he was able to come to Kansas City and turn the chiefs around from losing a lot to being a team to look out for a playoff contending team. He has brought a lot to the chiefs so he shouldn’t be looked down on for what he did he was just standing up for his team for what he thought was right.

Parole officer was a fugitive!

In Philadelphia, PA a man by the name of Dennis Powell has been thrown in jail for multiple counts of theft and forgery. Powell is not like any of the other criminals on the streets he held top jobs in law enforcement. All of Powell’s crimes started before seeking these jobs back in the late 1980’s when he became the manager over ITT financial corp. giving out loans.

Being a fugitive how do you get a job working for the law? It is amazing how Powell had to good jobs working for law enforcement the second one being a parole officer caring a gun! I don’t know how he escaped the background check both times at both jobs. All I can say is that maybe both places did not really give Powell a background check they assumed that he was just a good person taking Powell for his word.

How did he not get caught? He was busted the first time how did he not get caught when he was arrested the second time. Why did they even let him out on bail if he already had a history of running away when posting bail? Something just don’t seem right to me somewhere along the lines it just seems like he had some kind of connections in the system the whole time.

Does this whole case surprise you? It doesn’t really surprise me that much the whole part about escaping both times! The part that more surprises me is the part that he was able to get the two jobs one of them being him working with fugitives like himself. I am not sure how this went for such a long time but if its another case of him just knowing people thru out the legal system this just a shame to know that we have so many dirty people working in our system!

Cam Newton accused of cheating in florida!

According to Yahoo News Auburns Cam Newton is being accused of cheating on his school work while at Florida this is the second time he has been accused of something in just 5 days! Newton’s father said that all of this is garbage there are people out there making things up.  Auburns head coach even reported that this is all garbage. Newton said that none of this bothers him he is just going to do what he does best and that is playing ball!

Is this a surprise? Not to me I don’t know if he did this or not but we have seen things like this happen before the most famous one being reggie bush getting his Heisman taken away from his for receiving money. Why are they just now bringing up the cheating instead of doing it when it happen in Florida?

Why is all of this happening now? I believe it’s all happening now because he is doing so well and he didn’t end up attending their school! Why else would they say something about it they were quit when he was thinking of going o their school. I feel them schools should be in trouble especially Mississippi state their admitting that they were going to pay Newton to play for them!

I feel that all of this is probably wrong. If they were going to get him in trouble they should have done it when it was all going on not now that he is at another school and is a Heisman hopeful and the school has a shot at the national championship. They’re just trying to get a cheap shot in on him!

Chinese father thrown in jail!

According to Yahoo News a Chinese father was sentenced for 2 and half years for standing up for his son that received poison in his milk. The milk was melamine-tainted milk witch caused his son to be really sick and have kidney stones at the age of 3. Other parent where also rioting against it too but it was soon ended when the government of china sentenced Zhao Lianhai to 2 and a half years in prison.

Is this a surprise? Not really you have to expect things like this to happen in a country like that. In china the government does whatever they please it isn’t like over here they kill some of the female babies at birth. Is it right No!

Is this punishment a little too harsh?  I believe it is way too harsh! Zhao didn’t do anything that any father wouldn’t do if his child was poisoned from some milk he should not have gotten this much time. Really he didn’t o anything wrong the government just wanted him to shut up.

I am glad I live in America are you? We don’t have to go thru things like this we have the right to free speech and contest against things that we don’t like. I feel that Chinas government blew this a little out of proportion and was too harsh.

  

India has a 7 footer!

According to Yahoo News a 14 year old from India by the name of Satnam Singh Bhamara is 7 foot tall and where’s a size 22 basketball shoe.  Satnam idle is Yao Ming the 7 foot hopeful from china that was the first Chinese player ever in the NBA just like Yao Satnam hope to be the first from his country he would be the first there are no player ever from India to play in the NBA. Satnam is different from most 7 footers he has a lot of potential he can for around he just needs to work on moving his feet and gaining strength in his legs.

Is this a surprise? It is to me I didn’t know they had such big people in India. I guess there are big people in every race there is. It was just amazing how his grandmother is 6’9 to me that is really tall for a woman. It is obvious it runs in his family being tall.

What would he need to improve on? He needs to start now if he wants to play in the NBA, he needs to work on moving his feet and his lower body strength so that he just doesn’t get pushed around by players with muscle like Shaq or Dwight. Other than that height will do his justice.

Wouldn’t this be the dream and life to live?  I really think this would be an awesome thing to be the first player from your country to play in the NBA and represent your country. He has a lot of work to do to get there it wont just be given to him because he is tall there will be work behind it!   

NFL's new Rules!

According to Yahoo News there are many NFL players getting fed up with the rules that owner Rodger Goodell is making. The players feel that it isn’t even football anymore you’re not aloud o put a good hit on anyone and the QB is pretty well protected from everything the rules are getting out of hand. If you accidently role into a quarterback it is a 15 yard penalty if you hit the quarterback and he tries to slide you will get another 15. You can’t even get a good hit on players anymore the rules are just too strict the players claim.

What are your thoughts? I understand protecting the QB and players but I really feel the same is this football or soccer? I think that the hits should be judged if they think it is dirty then throw the flag but other than that let them play after all it is football.  

Why are they getting strict? Most likely because of the amount of injuries to the players. But still it is football they know that there is a chance at getting hurt every time they step on the field if they don’t want to get hit then maybe some other sport is for them.

They are making it where you’re not even able to play anymore you have to worry about getting fined or penalty toward your team. This is not how football is suppose to be players are suppose to be flying around out there hitting people having fun on the field.

First Transgender Athlete!

According to Yahoo News Kye Allums will be the first ever transgender D1 basketball player. Originally being a she and previously called Kay Kay by teammate’s plays for George Washington College on the women’s basketball team but on the roster is listed as a male. Kye was always know to be lesbian in high school she would change into boys clothes at school because her mother would not allow her to wear men’s clothes. Kye said she just could never act like a girl she always has been a man in her eyes. She will go down in history for the first transgender in sports.

Is this crazy? In my eyes I don’t really know what to think about this. But I give her credit for actually coming out to the public about it. I am sure she will go thru a lot of criticism about her being a male now so she will have a rough way to go.

Is this wrong? In a lot of people’s eyes yes but I just put it like this if that’s what she wants to do then let her do it it’s her choice. I am not against gay people as long as they don’t hit on me then we are cool. it isn’t something that I promote thou.

Would you ever see this coming? I didn’t see it coming but I knew there are a lot of gay athletes but a lot of them keep it in the closet I didn’t see her or him coming out so publicly about it making history for everybody to know about.  

Titans claim Randy Moss!

According to Yahoo News Tennessee Titans have claimed Randy Moss a place on the roster to play wide receiver. On Monday the Minnesota Viking waived wide receiver Randy Moss due to coach Childress not liking what Moss had to say in his interview he gave up on a play and coach just feels this is not the Randy Moss he expected to get. The team expected a whole lot more out of Randy moss because of him being a veteran in the game but he fell short of the team’s expectations. Now Moss is off to Tennessee to show the Titans what he has and try to bail them out for a better season.

Was this a surprise to you? I was actually surprised about the Vikings decision to waive Randy Moss because he is a good receiver and bring a lot to the table when it comes to opening things up on the field. I did notice Moss giving up on the play I felt like he could have caught the ball.

Will Moss do better in Tennessee? I think Moss will go down there a make a new name for himself. This is what the Titans have needed for some time now is a big target especially with their leading receiver Kenny Britt going down with an injury last game.

Randy Moss brings a lot to the table for a team he is probably one of if not the smartest receivers in the NFL along with being one of the best. Moss is so good because he understand defenses on the field he knows how to read them that’s what makes him so successful.
