During the Lions packers gam over the weekend, ndamukung suh got in trouble for stomping on someones leg after a play. He was angry and stomped on his leg.

He got a penalty and will be punished for it. He recently called Roger goidelll to apologize for what he had done but it looks like it might be too late.

Why would u do it?

As of yesterday Urban Meyer is the new head football coach for the ohio state buckeyes. He was the coach of the Florida gators and then retired when tim tebow left. He became an analyst for espn, but i guess that wasn't enough.

This is a big deal because Urban Meyer is one of the best recruiters in college football, and he should be able to turn the buckeyes into a great team.


How do you think the buckeyes will do this year?

Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes?

Jay Cutler

Over the weekend Jay Cutler broke his thumb. He did it by going in for a tackle and got stepped on. His thumb is broken in multiple places and he is going to be out for the rest of the season.

The Bears are a playoff team, and without there qb they most likely are not going to make it. They are going to need to look for a new qb. There is a possibility that the Bears are looking for Kurt Warner and or Bret Farve to come out of retirement to be the qb for the Bears for the rest of the season.

Who would you rather have as the qb? Bret or Kurt?

Really comin out of Retirement again!

Justin Verlander

Yesterday Justin Verlander was named cy young winner and the al mvp. It is the first time in a long time that a pitcher had won the cy young and the mvp award. The last pitcher to win both awards was Dennis Eckersly. Since then there have been no other pitchers. It was a close fight, but Verlander beat Ellsbury out in the end for mvp.

This is a big deal because it is very tough as a pitcher to win the mvp award. To do so, you need to literally carry your team into the playoffs with a low era and over 20 wins. That is very difficult and he will go down as one of the best pitchers in history.

Do you think you can do it again?

Justin Verlander is the best

Loyola Marymount

I enjoyed watching the movie. It is was very sad but inspirational story. I believe it was a terrible loss when he died. If he didn't die, the team probably would have made the NCAA finals. Also what I thought was really inspirational was when his teammate shot the foul shot lefty.

I do not believe that Westhead was involved with his death. How was he supposed to know that running this offense would cause his players to collapse. People say that he found out about his enlarged heart and didn't tell anyone. That is just sad that people blame deaths of players and teammates on coaches. It is not there fault, people are just looking for people to blame.

jimmy v

1. The student-athlete or team should embody the spirit and courage represented by Coach Jim Valvano and his memorable and motivating challenge delivered in his acceptance speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards – “Don’t Give Up. . . Don’t Ever Give Up!”

2. Youngstown State University basketball senior forward Dallas Blocker has been named the recipient of the tenth annual V Foundation Comeback Award, given annually by The V Foundation for Cancer Research in collaboration with ESPN. Dallas’ journey began in February, 2009 when, on a road trip, he felt discomfort in his abdomen and soon after was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He returned to his hometown, Topeka, Kansas, and missed the final seven games of the 2008-09 season. Following two surgeries to remove both testicles, he endured four rounds of intense chemotherapy – six hours a day, five days a week. This time tested his perseverance the most. As Dallas lost his hair and grew weak, he started to lose his motivation. His determination and inner strength prevented him from giving up. He continued his workout regime during chemotherapy, first walking, and then shooting baskets and light weight training. On September 11, 2009, only seven months after his original diagnosis, he was given a clean bill of health.

NBA Lockout

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7234180/nba-lockout-players-not-accept-deal-seek-disband-billy-hunter-says

As of yesterday the NBA still does not have a season. The players recently rejected the owners deal of splitting it 51 49 in favor of the owner. The players said that they were getting ripped off and they don't want to do it.

This is a huge deal because the NBA without a season is terrible. The fans will not be able to watch any basketball this year if they do not get a deal done.

What will be the next favorite winter sport?

Looks like no Professional Basketball this year?

Joe Paterno

Since the events that took place at Penn state, Joe Paterno's name has been taken off the Big ten championship trophy. The Big ten said that the firing of Paterno from Penn State, they decided to remove is name.

This is a big deal because Paterno had been a coach for a extremely long period of time. He was one of the best coaches ever in Ncaa history and he went out like that. This was not how he should have gone out. He deserves something better because of all the time and effort he put for Penn State.

How do you feel about being fired?

Why Paterno?

NBA Lockout

November 5, 2011, 10:46 PM ET
http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/7193875/boston-celtics-rajon-rondo-says-players-unified-enough-get-fair-offer

The NBA Lockout is still in lockout, but some of the players believe that the season will happen. The players are now willing to give up 2% percent of what they originally wanted for an even 50 50 split between the owners and players. All the players believe that this is fair, but we have yet to hear what the owners think of this deal.

I believe that there will be a season because the players are willing to give up some of there money to give to the owners so that the season would commence. Both the players and the owners know that if there is no season a lot of people are going to lose money and the NBA will be losing a lot of fans.

What else do the owners want?

NBA will Play I think?

Joe Frazier the former world championship boxer died yesterday. He is a legend and he died at a weird cause. Joe Frazier in his prime had fought Muhammad Ali three times.

This is a tragedy because he is a icon in the world of boxing. He is a huge deal and he changed the game of boxing.


Who will be boxings next Joe Frazier?

NBA Lockout

November 1, 2011
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/5-on-5-111101/nba-opening-day

Yesterday was supposed to be the first game of the NBA season but since the lockout continues, the NBA will not play. The Lockout continues because the players and the coaches will not agree on a price to play.

This is not good because there will not be a season and it will be hurt the teams because they are gonna lose fans.

What will the fans do without a season?

What NBA?
