Chris Paul

Since it is looking like there will not be an NBA season this year players have been talking to each other about combining into a another super team. Carmelo Anthony as been talking to Hornets star Chris Paul about joining him and Amare Stoudimire in New York and play for the Knicks.

As a knick fan this would be amazing and the team will be at an NBA championship caliber team that I would love to be a fan of.

Chris Paul Knicks?

Colts and Andrew Luck

The Colts have been facing some problems at the quarterback position because of the injury of Peyton Manning and Painter is not playing as expected. As most sports analyst stated the Colts are nothing without Peyton Manning. Tondy Dungy, ex-coach of the Colts, said yesterday during an interview that if the Colts get the number 1 pick, they should take Andrew Luck no matter how healthy Peyton Manning is. Peyton is the team as you can tell by the first 6 games without him, and Painter can't handle being the quarterback. Andrew Luck will hopefully make the team the team that they should be.

I believe that Andrew Luck is a star quarterback and could be at the caliber of Peyton Manning and could turn the team around.

Andrew Luck should go for and should go to Colts

Crimes

Michael Vick (dogs)
OJ Simpson (murder)
Ray Lewis (killed a man)
Michael Irvin ( arrested cocaine possession)
Pacman Jones (arrested for shooting)
Patrick Kane (assaulting cab driver)
Jerome Simpson (arrested weed possession)
Plaxico Burress ( shot himself with the gun)
Donte Stallworth (DUI manslaughter)
Willie Mays (drug Possession)

I believe they should be allowed to play but they should be suspended for a longer period of time than they actually do. They shouldn't be kicked out of the league for a crime, only if you killed a person. Then you should be kicked out.

Ricky Williams

I feel like Ricky is an honorable person. He did not leave the NFL because he wanted to smoke weed. He wanted to go find himself. He gave away a lot of money to find himself as a person. I believe this was smart and that if he didn't do this he could have injured himself even more.
I do feel bad for him because of all the people that treated him poorly for leaving the league.

I believe that his close friends on the team were ok with him leaving but others and people in management were very angry at him. The management wanted him to pay back the team for all the money he got and didn't play. I believe that watching this was good because before I watched this, I was one of those fans that disliked him for leaving the league. Now I found out that he left to find himself. I congratulate him for leaving the league and hope everything goes well for him

Jim Schwartz's passion approaches lunacy

This past weekend after winning a big game against the Detroit Lions, Jim Harbaugh went to say good game to Jim Schwartz the coach of the Niners and gave him apparently to hard of a shake and over reacted. He went after Harbaugh and they spoke a couple of words towards each other when security guards had to separate them.

This was kind of both coaches faults. I understand being exited after winning a big game, but don't react that way around a coach. Also Schwartz should have not reacted that way to his happiness. Both Faults.

NBA Season

October 11, 2011, 12:21 PM ET
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7085089/nba-labor-david-stern-cancels-first-two-weeks-nba-season

As of yesterday mid day the NBA commissioner, David Stern, has cancelled the first two weeks of the NBA season. After 13 hours of discussing wether to keep the the first two weeks. They decided to cancel it and it is now looking very bad for the entire season.

I believe this is going to be very bad for the NBA. The players are losing money because of endorsement are going to stop and the teams are not going to pay them for the year. Also the fans are going to not have anything to cheer for this winter because of the season possibly going to be cancelled.


2 Weeks cancelled, What will the fans do now?


Tim Tebow

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7087660/tim-tebow-replaces-kyle-orton-denver-broncos-starting-quarterback

Tim Tebow has now been named the starting qb for the broncos. It is because the broncos are struggling with there usual starting qb, Kyle Orton. No one expects him to do well, but I do. I believe he is a great qb and all he needs is a chance.

This is huge because the Broncos are really struggling and if there starting qb starts to play good, then they can become a better team. I agree with the coach with starting Tim Tebow, but I believe he should have started him earlier in the season.

How do you feel about getting hte starting job?

Tim Tebow gets his chance to shine

Marcus DuPree

When Marcus was in college he did a couple of things that were selfish. He didn't want to play for University of Oklahoma because of the coaching. He did not like how he wasn't treated as the best player on the team, which he was. He was treated like any other freshman.
I do sympathize with Marcus in only a couple of situations. He should be set money wise right now, but he got "screwed". He had this man who he thought he could trust put his money in a separate bank account, and he never even saw the money. When he needed money he asked for it, but never truly was wealthy which he should have been. Also he was so young and overwhelmed by the press and being so popular. He did not know how to react which caused him to possibly ruin his career.
What shocked me was that after having a career ending knee injury he was able to get off the couch and get back into shape and play football again. I was very surprised when after he was in full health again he played one season for the rams and then gave up. He stopped because he just wanted to know if he could do it again and he was able too. This was very inspirational and shows how dedicated he was to reach his goal of playing for his brother and playing in the nfl.

Selfish Athletes

I agree with half of this article. I do believe that players are over payed, but not everyone is greedy don't give money to anyone. I cant really think of athletes that are selfish, but some athletes are unselfish. Larry fitzgerald is unselfish. His mother died of breast cancer and for breast cancer month he is donating money to Breast cancer for every catch and every touchdown. This is what every athlete should be doing, donating to different charities to help out in the world. I believe that most of the people that are selfish grew up this way and that they never changed.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant has now signed a contract with an Italian basketball team. He wants to make money in the lockout and if he wants to keep paying the bills, he will now be moving to italy.

This is a big deal because for the first time in a long time the NBA will not have a season.

Kobe still making bank

Tiger Woods

October 2, 2011, 11:26 PM ET
http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/7051055/tiger-woods-falls-top-50-first-time-15-years

This article is about how Tiger woods fell for the first time from the top 50 in the world. This is a big deal because Tiger Woods is one of the best golfers in the history of the game and he now has gotten worse because of his problems in life. Eventually Tiger will make the hall of fame, but how will he go down.

Tiger woods might be the greatest golfer of all time, but he is not playing like he is.

What is going on Tiger???
