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.

'ol #4

In my anticipation of his impending retirement following his latest injury, I would like to jot down my final thoughts on the Mississippi dong slinger aka #4 aka the diva aka Brett Favre. I have never hid my disgust for him over the twilight of his tenure with Green Bay and his antics over the last 3 years as he jettisoned from New York to Minnesota. I will never discount his raw talent or his many accomplishments throughout his career as an all time great QB in NFL history, but in my eyes he will be remembered for his treatment of QB in waiting Aaron Rodgers and his refusal to help mold him into a leader of one of footballs most historic franchises. His decisions to hold the Packers hostage with talk of retirement for 5 years put them in a difficult position when it came to drafting players and going after certain free agents because good 'ol Brett was mulling his choices, knowing full well he had every intention of returning, but didn't want to go through the riggers of training camp, just an example of his diva like persona. His disdain for Packer management became evident after they informed him of their intentions to move forward with Rodgers, and being the classy beloved individual he was in Green Bay, he tries his hardest to sign with their most hated rival in Minnesota, essentially waving his middle finger to a fan base that worshiped the very ground he walked on. As we all know he would eventually sign there after a failed stint with the Jets where he exposed the next layer of his doucheiness by sending pics of his starting QB to Jenn Sterger. I really could care less that he did that at all, what anyone does in their free time is their business, but the part that is enraging is the NFL's turtle like pace in their investigation of this matter. I'm willing to bet that if it was some middle of the road linebacker that was in this predicament, they would have been suspended immediately for the same actions, but not teflon Brett. This injury that stopped his streak of consecutive starts at 297 and most likely ends his career couldn't have been timed better for the NFL to do absolutely nothing as far as punishment goes. I just hope that he goes away after this season and we no longer have to be witness to his antics both on and off the field and hear the kiss ass' at ESPN get down on their knees and service him every broadcast. Good Riddance (I hope)

wikiwhynot?

Let me start off by saying that im extremely proud to be a citizen of the United States and would do anything asked of me to help defend it, but I have a feeling I may be in the minority in my support of the Wikileaks document releasing extravaganza they have started. I dont support the matter in which they were obtained from the low level military personnel involved, but the fact that the veil of secrecy that has been status quo for the government for decades is finally being pulled back ever so slightly, is somewhat refreshing. Until the radical anarchist who founded wikileaks releases "top secret" documents like nuclear codes or troop postions etc., then i dont mind one bit that the rest of the world discovers we talk shit behind their backs just as they do ours. While its no surprise we are the worlds leading superpower, we are also the most disrespected and hated nation amongst the rest of the population. Im so sick of our involvement in world affairs and our constant coddling of corrupt regimes who depend on us for protection but offer us nothing in return but more headaches passed onto the taxpayers. When is enough going to be enough? I could give a shit whether Kim Jong Il takes over the entire Korean peninsula and reigns hell all over the region, they offer nothing to society that could effect our nation as a whole. The Chinese need to step up and force open their slanted eyes to the situation brewing and know that its in their best intrest to monitor the chaos and show the rest of the world that although they are communist scum, they can play enforcer to a corrupt region. I hate the fact that we disperse so much of our monetary wealth to bailout other nations when we are in the middle of a shit storm here at home. I realize im fairly ignorant to the whole big picture of our objectives overseas, but if the release of some of these wikileaks papers changes the mindset of foreign dignitaries about dealing with the US, then I say Good riddance scumbags who needs ya anyway.

Pay Them

On the heels of the Cam Newton scandal at Auburn, the topic of paying college athletes gets raised. In my opinion they should be paid in accordance with whatever their individual sport is able to bring in financially to the school. In a day where everyone is vying to be the next "big thing" and the opportunities of cashing in are everyhwhere, its getting harder and harder for these student athletes to say no to sports agents.
I'm not saying they should be makikng an absorbant amount of money, but an incentive of pay would go a long way in cleaning up the negative aspect that money can play in college sports. I don't give a damn about the argument that they are paid through scholarships and that is sufficient enough. It is not enough in todays world and won't be 20 years from now either. When was the last time you saw a tuition decrease or ticket prices lowered? It never happens, and I would rather pay a couple extra bucks for a football ticket if I knew that it was going to the players I have paid to see play. If they don't want to pay them, then there shouldn't be subject to NCAA rules barring them from using their celebrity to make an income outside of class and practice.
