Reggie Wayne Causes a Scare During Practice


Reggie Wayne, the star wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, suffered a knee injury during Friday's practice. The good news that he's doing okay and is expected to play this Sunday. He is with no doubt, one of the key players in Sunday's game. He has the ability to beat any Saints defender that tries to cover him. Reggie runs great routes and he knows how to get open. If the Colts wants to defeat the Saints, then Reggie Wayne probably needs to have a big game. I'm quite sure that he's excited about playing in the Super bowl and I anticipate him playing well.

It's Snowing Too Much Again


I can't believe this. Just when I thought we would get a break from this crazy weather, it snows again. For the third time this week, snow has hit our area. Never have I seen this happen before. It's so bad out here that even the snow truck people are currently no where in sight. I think they've had enough of this snow as well. Now it's everywhere. To make things worse, it looks like it's still snowing hard. Looking out of my window, it appears as if a foot of snow has arrived so far. It started Friday morning and it hasn't stopped coming yet. The cars, trees and sidewalks in my neighborhood are completed covered. The snow blanket has struck again covering everything in its path. Let's hope for spring to come sooner rather than later.

USC Coach Lane Kiffin Recruits 13-Year-Old

The USC football coach Lane Kiffin is making headlines again. This time it' s for recruiting a 13-year-old kid. I don't think this is a good idea. This child is not even in high school yet. He is way too young to be making such an important decision like this. It looks like Lane Kiffin is doing this merely for publicity. He was able to get a verbal commitment from this kid. There should be no college recruiters contacting this teenager until he's at least in his junior year of high school. I'm not against Lane Kiffin or any other coach trying to get this kid into their program. My thing is that these people shouldn't contact this child until he is in his third year of high school.

It's Snowing Again

I can't believe this. It's now snowing again. We just had some snow a couple of days ago. I spent a great portion of my weekend cleaning the snow off my car. Tomorrow morning, I will have to wake up very early and once again shovel some more snow. Will Mother Nature please give us a break? I don't ever remember it snowing so much like this. What is going on? What is causing all this snow to come around our area? To make matters worse, I heard today that the groundhog saw it's shadow and because of this, we are supposed to be getting six more weeks of this winter weather. My hope is that after this, we will see no more snow until at least late December. Good luck to those of you who have to walk and drive in this weather.

John Edwards Big Mistake

There is no doubt that John Edwards infidelity is of his biggest mistakes. What makes it worse is that he came off as deceptive about it. If I'm not mistaken, he denied the affair at first as well as the child that resulted from the affair. Prior to this, Edwards was considered by many to be this great family man. Now he has lost so much credibility that he may never again be able to run for office. Why would a person like Edwards, with so much to gain, take such a risk like this? It's bad enough that he cheated on his wife, but then he fathers a child with his mistress. It will probably be years before his family recovers from this.

Many things concern me about this affair. One of these concerns is the mental state of his children. I've been watching the news and so far I don't hear too much about them. I hope that his children are in some type of counseling for this. When these people cheat on their spouses, they seem to forget the impact that this has on their children.

I also wish his wife the best as well. She must be devastated. It's bad enough that her husband cheated. Then he compounds the problem by fathering a child with the woman. Elizabeth Edwards is also recovering from a tough disease. She's a strong person who no doubt will continue to fight this terminal illness. Right now, the best thing for her to do is to take care of herself and her children.

John Edwards has to try his best to fix the mess he's created. I hope he has sincerely apologized to his wife and children. He must make sure to never put himself in a situation like this ever again. They say that time heals all wounds. Hopefully this is will be the case for the Edwards Family.

Why The Pro Bowl Should Be Played a Week After The Super Bowl

The Pro Bowl should be played after the Super Bowl. By having the Pro Bowl played before the Super Bowl, we didn't get a chance to see some of the Super Bowl participants such as Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne or Drew Brees play. No disrespect to the players that replaced these guys, but I would have enjoyed watching Peyton Manning or Dallas Clark play in Miami. Even though many of the selected players like Tom Brady or Philip Rivers didn't play, the game was still entertaining to watch. I also liked that the fact that a player such as London Fletcher finally got a chance to play in his first Pro Bowl. He's been a great player for so many years and never got a chance to play in this game until now. Both the AFC and NFC scored a ton of points which made the game worth watching. It was a fourth down conversion late in the fourth quarter that won the game for the AFC. They defeated the NFC 41-34. I hope next year that the NFL will have the Pro Bowl played after the Super Bowl.
