Hey Hey people. Football season is here once again. Wow!!! I bet football fans are really looking forward to this season. Well probably I will enjoy more in watching football game this season because I can understand the basic of football now..LOL..I think last night was the opening of the NFL season and once again the New Orleans Saints defeats the Minnesota Vikings. This is a good start and hopefully they will still defend their title as the super bowl champion last year. Looking forward for the super bowl next year.
Wouldn't you think the politically correct NFL would take care of two key politicians for the Super Bowl? Specifically, with game tickets for the mayors of the two cities sending teams? That's not the case for New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, whose said his best bet to attend so far is paying $800 for a seat in the nosebleed section. That prompted Nagin to tell radio station WBOK "I'll have to bring a handkerchief." The $800 ticket will come from the Saints' block of tickets, if Nagin goes that route. Nagin said he was surprised no one accounted for the mayors. "But I just thought that as mayor of the city I would go to the (Super Bowl) as a representative of the city and of the Saints, and it wouldn't be an issue," the mayor said. "But maybe they've got some things they've got to work out, so we'll see. I'm hopeful that it's going to work out." Added Nagin: "Some people seem to forget I come from the business environment . . . So I got contacts at ESPN, USA TODAY, you name it. So I'm going to work it out." Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Mayor, but you have a better chance of being elected the king of Poland than finding an extra ticket kicking around our offices.
I did watch some part of their game a few days ago. They were playing against Texas and it was really a close fight. I thought Texas is going to win because the scores were very tight and from that moment, Texas will beat Alabama in a snap. But Alabama was working so hard to get the title as champion on that day and they succeeded. The scores were Texas - 21 and Alabama - 37. It is amazing to see them win their victory. Well Alabama is not that far from our area. It is at least almost 2 hours drive and I have been there many times already. It is our neighboring state so it is like winning also. Hopefully on the next season, they will defend their title again as BCS Champion. Now the waiting begins on the super bowl..LOL
It is pretty much obvious on what I am trying to say with this logo especially to football fans. Yes, it's the New Orleans Saints logo and they are still undefeated. Wow! They have such an amazing game yesterday and I thought they are going to loss but good thing they didn't and still holding the leading spot..Wheewww!!! but that was close. They went overtime and everything but still they won.. Yippeeeyyy!!!..Yeah..yeah I think I am getting hooked to football although, I still understand some of it but I am getting there..Lol.. I watched it with hubby because he will explain to me on whatever terms that confuses me during the game..Hehehehe..which helps a lot because I am getting what the game is all about little by little. Go New Orlean Saints. Break a leg
As the No. 4 elevated train pulls into the 161st Street station in the Bronx, it passes by the original Yankee Stadium. Hardly a rider notices. The home to exactly 100 World Series games and nine clinchers for the Yankees stands ignored, just across the street from its glitzy, new US$1.5 billion replacement. "I did the first few times I came. I thought about then," former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said in an interview with The Associated Press before Game 1 of the Series. "Once I'm here, I don't anymore. Destined to be taken down piece by piece, the 86-year-old Yankee Stadium is a shell of itself, wrapped in scaffolding, construction netting and a blue plywood wall at street level. Take a sliver of a peek into the park from the 4 train, peer through a hole in the fence on River Avenue or look inside from the plaza across 161st Street and you'll see the place has been stripped of its memories. The nearly 56,000 blue seats are gone, leaving tiers of exposed concrete. The padding that covered the right-field wall where little Jeffrey Maier reached over and coaxed a flyball into a home run for Derek Jeter in the 1996 American League championship series is gone, too. The mound where Mariano Rivera saved 15 playoff games. Flattened. The perfectly manicured lawn has been cut up. All that's left is a mound of dirt piled high near the visiting dugout, weeds growing wildly. The batter's eye black area in centre field where Reggie Jackson sent one of his three home runs bouncing in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, is faded and greying. And the soaring yellow foul poles have been toppled. "It is sad when you think about everything that's gone on over there, but this is everything we had hoped for," Yankees veteran Andy Pettitte said. "When we built this new stadium we hoped to be able to bring a World Series here."

It took Bud Norris less than an inning Sunday afternoon to give up more runs than the Astros had allowed in their previous three games, leaving a tremendous crater for his teammates against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Astros’ bullpen and offense tried to rally back, but they still lost 7-5 as they couldn’t overcome the six-run deficit they had after two innings. Attempting to complete a three-game sweep, the Astros were down 5-0 after one inning and 6-0 after two while seeing their four-game winning streak end. Norris gave up six runs on six hits with three walks and one strikeout over one-plus inning. Over his last two starts, the rookie righthander has given up 15 hits and 11 runs over 6 2/3 innings.
A 4-8 season by the Bobcats didn't help. Neither did the fact that he was a snubbed during the Combine selection process. So Ohio University safety Michael Mitchell knew that he had to make a statement at his Pro Day back on March 12. "I had decided I was going to leave no doubt that I'm going to be one of the biggest, fastest safeties on the market," the 6-foot-1, 220-pound defensive back told Scout.com. "I looked at the day as, 'finally here's my chance.' I just wanted to get in a room with guys like William Moore, Mike Hamlin and Louis Delmas and compete with those guys. But since I didn't get to do that, my Pro Day was my chance to show that I could."Mitchell put forth a compelling case to the NFL scouts and coaches who gathered to watch the school's top athletes. He reportedly ran a 4.43-second 40-time on his first attempt and followed that up with a 4.49-second time—even though he pulled up a bit at the 35-yard mark due to tweaking his hamstring. Now remember, that's a sub-4.5 time in the 40-yard dash run by an athlete who weighs in at 220-pounds.As a result of that speed, Michael Mitchell doesn't just tackle opponents, he clobbers them. Watch his highlight reels and you'll see that players' legs fly out when this guy puts a hit on them. He made 62 tackles during his senior year, forced a pair of fumbles and picked-off three passes. "It's so weird that I've been flying under the radar, and at times it's been frustrating," he said. "I've been playing well, I've never been in trouble, I truly believe I'm a good person with a good heart. "If you ask people about Mike Mitchell, they'll tell you he's a hard worker and a great leader. He's a guy who's going to give 110 percent every time he steps on the field whether it be a workout or anything regarding football, he's always putting his best foot forward. And I'm definitely proud of that. Mitchell told Scout.com that the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Detroit Lions all spent some time talking with him at his Pro Day. He's also worked out for the Chicago Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals. And he's had official visits with the Colts, Browns, the Oakland Raiders and the Green Bay Packers. "I keep hearing that they really like my size and my athletic ability," Mitchell said. "I think the thing that shocked a lot of people is my footwork. But I played corner all my life, and then when I got to college my coaches saw my potential to play safety, so he moved me to free safety. But as you watch film, you can tell I kind of like to hit people a little bit, so he moved me to strong safety." Team officials also seem to be attracted to some of Mitchell's intangibles as they've learned more about him. "They've told me that they really like the leadership and emotion I bring to the game," he said. "I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but I truly believe there isn't another player that brings it like I bring it, every play, every practice, every game." Michael Mitchell is ready for the NFL. And one thing's for sure—he's no longer flying under the radar.
"I don't believe that will be the case," Goodell said when asked about the possibilities in an uncapped season in 2010. Owners opted out of the current CBA last year, which will trigger the end of the salary cap if no new deal is reached before next March.
Owners' priorities in the negotiations will include having the costs for building and operating stadiums recognized by the players and instituting a salary cap for rookies, Goodell said in a news conference at the NFL's annual meeting in Dana Point, Calif.
There is no timetable yet for when negotiations on a new CBA will begin. Goodell met with new NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith Friday for the first time.
The economy is hurting the league's revenue streams, and Goodell said the ramifications will have an effect on the negotiations. Money from sponsorships and licensing is down, and the league is concerned about the possibility for reduced ticket sales in 2009.

TORONTO -- With an All-Star roster of Major League talent, Team Venezuela will take on the less experienced Italian squad on Saturday in Game 2 of Pool C in the Toronto portion of the 2009 World Baseball Classic. The game, which begins 8 p.m. ET, will take place at Rogers Centre. Though Venezuela was winless during its week-long pre-Classic stint -- going 0-2-1 in three games -- the team will arrive in Toronto boasting a plethora of proven Major Leaguers. Outfielders Magglio Ordonez and Bobby Abreu, along with infielders Miguel Cabrera, Melvin Mora and Carlos Guillen, are just a few of the big names set to represent their country on the Rogers Centre field.
Venezuela did not advance past the second round of the inaugural Classic in 2006, and will surely look for a better finish this year. It's not just the players who will be looking for success though, as there are many more who'll be rooting for the squad.
"Everybody watches [in Venezuela]," Guillen told MLB.com recently. "The fans over there are great, they love baseball. Everybody. The President [Hugo Chavez], he used to play baseball. He watches almost every game."
"[Our country] deserves to watch us play together," Ordonez added. "They watch us every day in the big leagues, but they never have a chance playing together. It's a good opportunity to see us all playing together."
Venezuela is expected to send Mariners ace Felix Hernandez to the mound for the Game 2 start. The 22-year-old right-hander will face an Italian team that does not boast the same star power as its counterpart.
The biggest name on the Italian club just happens to be its hitting coach, Mike Piazza. Even so, Piazza, one of the top catchers of his generation, is looking forward to guiding Italy.
"I'm excited to get on the field a little bit, and the fact they [Italian players] are so eager to learn, and there aren't a lot of egos over there," Piazza told MLB.com last week.
"It's a good thing," Piazza said. "I'm really pumped. The fact that they are really eager and trying to build their program to a level of respect internationally -- it's fun to watch that."
I am not a football fan. It's not because I don't like this kind of sports but because I don't understand the way they play the game. To me it is so confusing and as I look at it, it is like a wrestling match to me..lol.. My husband is a big fan of football but I guess most American people loves football and as a new member to the community I am still adjusting to it. Today is a very significant day for football fans out there because it's the Super bowl and it is played between Arizona and Pittsburg. As of now Pittsburg is leading on the 3rd quarter but still a long way to run to tell the winner so we will see. Little by little I am starting to learn what really football is and hopefully soon I will be hook to it just like many Americans in the States. I believe some of my friends are addicted to this sports already and I don't see myself not hooked with it. So I hope you guys are having fun watching the Super Bowl. Go Pittsburg!
