Green Bay "packed" away by Jaguars


After Green Bay's win in Seattle, 48 - 13, they lost at home with Jacksonville, 21 - 13. Veteran quarterback, Brett Favre has been doing a wonderful job after some say he was slipping. The Packers now have 2 wins and 1 loss, which isn't bad, and it's only the pre-season.


After a slow first quarter, Green Bay earned ten points to take the lead. The lead was swept away in the third quarter, when the Jaguars got fourteen points. The Packers had hope in the fourth quarter, when they gained three points, but Jacksonville got seven points to seal the deal.

Michael Vick "Chewed Up"


Some think it's funny, others think it's offensive, but either way the new dog chew toy that resembles Michael Vick is appropriate for his crime. You can get one for your dog online at vickdogchewtoy.com. Vick deserves this humiliation, training dogs to fight and be violent, is honestly barbaric. If he can't find better use of his time, then that's pretty sad. He is still fighting in court as of now, but officials still don't know what to do with these un-naturally violent dogs. We will just need to wait and watch.

"The Scooter" Rolls On


On Monday, at the complete age of 89, Phil Rizzuto died. Among the best shortstops, he also was honored as a broadcaster for the New York Yankees for decades. In respect of his death, yesterday at Yankee Stadium, his former home field, the Yankees wore the number 10 on their sleeves to remember him. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame as an MVP, and a player winning in seven World Series and nine Pennants.


His body build was not large at all, only weighing 150 and 5' 6" tall. In his career he batted .273 and stole 149 bases. Being as successful as he was as a rookie, he became a replacement in shortstop for Frank Crosetti. Boston Red Sox great, Ted Williams, often said the reason that the Yankees beat them so many times in the American League pennant race, was because of Rizzuto. Rissuto played a big role in baseball both on the field and off, we will always remember him.

3x history




Alex Rodriguez has finally done it, 500 homers, taking him 10 days to jump from 499 to the title. 500 is big, that's alot of home runs for one man to hit. Very few men can reach that many, one being Barry Bonds who hit 756 the other day, breaking Hank Aaron's record for home runs in a career, which reminds us of Tome Glavine pitching 300 wins in his career. These three, no matter what it took them to get the have made history, and history is history.

Hidenwood


Today was fun because I went to my friend Ben's pool party at Hidenwood pool. It was really fun, we had a diving contest, water basketball game, and dunking war; and the best part was, it was all unorganised :). Ben, Justin, Erik, Chris, and Myself had a great time. We would munch on cookies and chips, and drink during the 15 minute adult swim break that took place every 45 minutes.


After all is said and done, today was a good day. [comment this entry] [and the other ones that have 0 comments]
