Another Year of Hope

April 9th, 2009

     The smell of grass is the scent of the spring. The days of  hot dogs, sunflower seeds and beer is upon us. Baseball bats and gloves being broke in, uniforms getting dirty, and so it begins. Spring training is now over and the regular season for baseball has begun. It has been a few years since the glory years of the Atlanta Braves, but like every year, this could be the year. With a group of new durable pitchers, mixed with a lineup that consists of plenty of young talent and a couple proven veterans, there is no saying at how well, or awful this team will do. It has been a few years since the glory days of the Braves winning division title after division title, 14 to be exact, but this may be the year it all comes together. Read more…

The Savior of the Disappointing Wrestlemania 25

HBK getting the best of Taker weeks before Wrestlemania 25

     We have come to love a time every year in wrestling when the biggest show of the year comes at the end of March or early April. Wrestlemania. From the time I was a kid, it was the one pay-per-view I came to love and always want to purchase, albeit it was my parents money I wanted to use. this year was the first I ordered in quite sometime expecting one of the most entertaining shows of the year. As I watched the “Pre Game” show, if you will, I was taken aback to a time when the event was the greatest thing on Earth.

     Hogan vs Andre the Giant. Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior. Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart. The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock vs Hogan. The Undertaker vs everyone. I mean these were epic names and I KNOW I missed plenty. Then we get the matches, from the first ever ladder match to the Iron Man match. Every year there was something new, something to draw the viewers into the millions, and in this year, I was going to be a part of the 25th anniversary of the spectacle.

NCAA Football Playoff System

February 10th, 2009

     So we all know where the hate is coming from. As of late, the State of Utah has filed a lawsuit against the BCS. Now while i agree with multiple points, I agree more so that they are wrong. Now while I do believe that the ONLY true NCAA champ will be proved by playoffs, I believe that it is a tough argument to make.

     I mean its a given that Utah made a run against Alabama. I mean it wasn’t like Boise State-Oklahoma where Boise St. won the match with trick plays and such. Utah faced Alabama face to face and took the game to them and won with no argument. Showing them how much better they were. I will admit that Utah is a great team, but will not agree they are a National Champion. I know how many arguments are against the BCS, but I believe that less bids would make the BCS more interesting. Read more…

Phoenix Fans

January 30th, 2009

So here is my current gripe.

I am a Dallas Cowboys fan (let the hate mail begin) but the one thing that any of you cannot deny about us Cowboy fans, just like all major sports team fans, is that we back our team. When my team goes 5-11 for 3 years straight, I wear my Cowboys jersey every Sunday, hoping, praying that Quincy Carter or Drew Henson will be the answers to our prayers.

I know that they are not, but my heart gives all hope that they are. I struggle with my team when they struggle. Then I move out here to Arizona and. what do I get, a bunch of half-hearted fans that ride high when the sails are filled with air, but disappear when it all gets bad.

I have much respect for you guys who have worn Cardinals jerseys through the last 19 pointless years, but what about the people that fill the other 75% of the stadium. I have not seen as much Cardinal pride in the last 3 years, as I have in the last 2 weeks. Read more…
