Baron davis is the newest acquired player of the New York Knicks. He is going to add to the lineup in a position that the Knicks are failing to fill. They have two guards that are good but not star callibor. The knicks are hoping to land chris paul or maybe a better pg than toney douglas and mike bibby.

This will change the game of Basketball in New York. Last year he did not play that well, but this year with all the media and talent in New York hopefully he will shine

How do you feel about joining the big 3?

Murderball

My favorite part about the documentary was when they went into each of the players backstories and we got to find out what really they are like and what happened to them. Because of Murderball none of these players have regret and anger toward why they are in the chair, they just play.
I thought Zupan was the most inspirational because after so many years he talked to his best friend who put him in the wheelchair. He could have started to yell at him and keep him out of his life, but he let it go and was happy he was still his friend.
The message is that it doesn't matter that your in a wheel chair, you can still do what mostly every other human being could do. They can still drive, play sports, ect.
I would definitely recommend this to people who have a strange relationship to people in wheelchairs or if you just had and accident and you are being forced into a wheelchair. I would definitely have these people watch this movie. It changes everyone opinions about people in wheelchairs, it definitely changed mine.

Albert Pujols

Albert has officially signed with the Angels for 254 million. This is a big deal because the Angels owner bought the Angels in 2003 for 72 million dollars less than he bough Albert for. This is very funny and just showed how big of a deal this player is. He is getting older and the 10 year deal might be way too much, but the Angels are turning into a Championship team.

Albert will change baseball in La and La will no longer just be a basketball town. it is going to be a two sport town.

Who will the Angels go after next?

Albert get how much?

30 for 30

I felt the most inspirational part of Terry's story is when he was sick and he kept on fighting and not going to the doctor because he did not want to stop running. He wanted to get as much money as possible for cancer. Also when in the end he died and they put the memorial statues in Canada in honor of him.

The media positively helped him towards the end of the story when he was getting sick and he was speaking to people about 3 times a day. This helped him raise even more money than he expected. The media negatively influenced him because the article that said that he did not run through Quebec. That was very mean because that means his whole run was a lie. This really made me upset and wants me to yell at the man that wrote it.

I am very inspired by this 30 for 30.

Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard has stated that he wants to go the nets. He is going to tell The Magic that he doesn't want to resign with them after the season. This is a big deal because if Dwight goes to the Nets it will turn them into a playoff caliber team. The Nets with Dwight and Deron they will be sick.

This is a big deal because the Knicks and the nets are going to turn New York into a basketball empire. Hope they don't get better than the knicks.

How badly to you want to join the Nets?

Tim Tebow

A couple weeks ago owner of the Bronos, Elway, was asked wether Tim Tebow was the quarterback of the future. He responded by saying that Tebow is not and he is looking for another quarterback to replace him. After a couple of weeks Elway was asked the same question and he responded this time by saying that all he is thinking about is the present and Tim Tebow is the present and he is winning us games.

This is a big deal because if an owner can't trust his own starting qb than why would anyone else trust him. THis is good for Tebow to here and all tebow fans.

Tim how do you fell about what Elway said?

Elway said what?

Tim Richmond

1. I learned that you can get it from a girl, not just from having butt sex with a guy. I didn't know that people where isolated from the society if they had aids. I can understand why he wanted to hide it from people.

2. He didn't tell anyone because they most likely would not allow him to race anymore. He loved to race and it would ruin his life if he couldn't race.
It was smart of him so he could race, but its bad that if he got into a crash others could get it from him. They would just not allow him to race. They wouldn't do an special things for him.
