Why Tim?

This NFL football season has had its share of stories thus far whether it be the Packers quest for perfection, Ndomakung Suh pounding dudes lettuce off the turf or stomping arms or driving his rig into a tree, but with out a doubt the hot stove topic has and will continue to be Tim Tebow.
I cannot recall a bigger fuss being made of a player who was doomed to fail by the so called "experts" at the 4letter network in the Connecticut woods, as soon as he was drafted. Never has a player polarized a league for being nothing but a winner and good guy, but also been the target of many attacks for wearing his religion on his sleeve.
But why? He isn't doing anything different by getting down on a knee and giving thanks to his God after he leads a team to win or a loss for that matter. Why is this such a big deal? Have we come to a time in our history where being Christian is something to hate in our football players and the thought of him expressing that has angered so many. Can you imagine the uprising that would occur if a Muslim player decided to pull out a prayer rug an give his thanks, then the media turned their disgust on him? Something like that could cause another war with those irrational religious zealots, but since he is white and Christian its ok to hate.
If you aren't a fan of his game then hate on him for that but don't hate the guy for doing things right and having so much faith in his beliefs that he feels compelled give his gratitude after a battle on the field.

The Penn State Crime Family

As I'm sure you've read and heard already a Capo and alleged pedophile in the Penn St mob family, Jerry Sandusky has been arraigned on numerous charges of sexual assault of a child.
This appalling story hit the mainstream a couple of weeks ago and has cast an enormous black cloud over what was considered the most tactfully run and among the most respected universities associated with college athletics.
Once you start to peel back the layers of this story you begin to see the inner workings of what can be described as a mob type family structure with The Godfather Don Joseph Paterno sitting atop his stoop turning an aging blind eye to what will soon become the biggest scandal to rock the NCAA in history.
Joe Paterno was like a grandfather figure not only to the students in Happy Valley but to college football fans everywhere, he could do no wrong, or so we thought. Everything that went on with Penn St. athletics had Jo Pa's fingerprints on it whether it be directly or indirectly and for him to do nothing when learning of the sexual deviancy of the defacto 2nd in command Sandusky, is in the courts of public opinion a death sentence. No longer when you hear the name Paterno will you think of the winningest coach in history it will be for a sex scandal cover up that ruined the lives of numerous young men.
Some people have asked, "why did nobody tell the police?" The answer is simple...they did, but Just like in any crime family, police and politicians make it onto the payroll of the Godfather (Paterno) and just is the case here.
Foot soldier and former football player an current asst. coach Mike McQueray sees the alleged rape of a 10yr old in the shower by Sandusky, doesn't call the cops but calls his daddy to see what to do, daddy says to get the hell out of there and later advises him to tell his Don Paterno, which he does. So why didn't Paterno then go to police or just "whack" Sandusky right then? Instead it goes to the head of the college and also Campus police who decide to keep it "in house" heaven forbid they cast a black eye over their beloved Penn State over saving the lives of kids, scum bags.
And why was Sandusky allowed to stay around the campus and use the facilities to commit these crimes after his retirement in 1998? Because the cover up goes back many years and is way more detailed than we can probably fathom right now, including pension payoffs aka hush money, possible links to a murder of a private investigator and just a corrupt way of doing business while trying to keep intact your "good Ol boy" image.
I for one can't wait for this story to keep developing to see where this leaves Penn State as a participant in college athletics anymore. There have been "death sentence" punishments for universities for far far less crimes, dont be surprised if you see Penn St. crumble and cease to exist for many years to come.

Do the right thing!

I personally am sick and tired of being treated like a child and being told what is in my best interest by a government who is fiscally irresponsible and who has denied the full truth to its people concerning national security on numerous occasions. Since the word came down yesterday from the White House that no death photos or burial video of Osama Bin Laden will be made public, I have tried to wrap my head around why the decision was made. According to our President, showing those images would be like "spiking the football" after scoring a TD in football. WTF is he talking about? How can the leader of the free world compare the death of the worlds most wanted terrorist being harbored by an ally nation (allegedly) to a group of 'roided out athletes getting together once a week to play a sporting event? Im aware we aren't at war with Islam as a whole but Islam is in a war with us no matter how many "peaceful muslims" they want to parade on the news telling us that violence and western hate is bred into the youth of muslim nations. The phony politeness has got to end at some point and releasing the death photos, however gruesome they are is a small but important step in that very direction. To think that we are going to be any less of a target to terrorists because "we took the moral high ground" is just naive and puts us at even more risk to another attack. I don't recall seeing or reading about any American who was given a proper religious burial after being killed by an enemy, so why were we so quick to offer a proper burial to man who authorized the death and destruction of our citizens and buildings on numerous occasions? We are a very unified people when we need to be and at a point in our history when so many of our own citizens aren't enjoying the comforts that should come with being a U.S. citizen because they were kicked out of their home or cannot find employment, finding and killing Bin Laden and seeing his corpse in my opinion would help bring us all a little American Pride in seeing what our military is capable of.

SHUT UP!

I hate knowing that I wake up everyday and have to breathe the same air as these narrow minded clowns who hate the constitution, primarily the 2nd Amendment. In the wake of last weekends mindless shooting rampage in Tuscon, the length that some of the progressive media is going to establish blame on everything (NRA) and anyone (Palin), rather than the described "liberal pothead" who pulled the trigger, is simply grotesque. The thought that by banning assault weapons or handguns is going to padlock this problem of mental illness and lashing out is just ignorant and a mindless solution. The founders of this country listed the right to bear arms at number 2 because they knew of the necessity of being armed citizens was essential to our growth and success, and by safe guarding our most precious of rights, free speech. I can only imagine how badly Thomas Jefferson would want to spit in the face of people like Bill Maher, Chris Mathews and the king of all douchebags, Keith Olberman, for their out right disgust for what he and the other leaders of our country put down in the constitution. We have to stop trying to pass-the-buck whenever it fits our agenda at the moment. One person is to blame and one person only, Jared Laughner, may he be publicly executed.
