Romo and Cowboys' Owner Jerry Jones Do Not See Eye To Eye
Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones feels that the window to win another superbowl is closing. He thinks so because several of their players including Romo, Witten, and Ware are getting older. He feels like the time is now to go out and compete to their full capacity on the field because there may not be another superbowl run. Tony Romo on the otherhand, feels different. He feels like age has nothing to do with it. He thinks that it is the same every year that you come out to play whether you are a rookie or a veteran. The Cowboys is a team that has a love/hate relationship with America now. Back in the Emmit Smith, Troy Aikman, and Michael Irving era, they were the "it" team. Now that football season is approaching, let's see who's point is correct. Stay tuned.......

Saints Linebacker Sues NFL Commissioner For Suspension
Veteran Saints Linebacker Jonathan Vilma sues Commissioner Roger Goodell for making false statements, ruining his reputation, and hindering his livlihood. The claim states that Goodell relied on circumstantial evidence, hearsay, and lies regarding the comments that he made about Vilma in the discussions of the NFL's bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints. The Commissioner has stated that Vilma was the leader of the bounty team and that he has put up thousands of dollars for the hits that took out the opposing teams' star players from 2009, which was Superbowl year all the way until 2011. There were $10,000 payments for each hit on then quarterbacks Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals and Brett Favre or the Minnisotta Vikings in the playoffs of 2010.
Vilmer's filing has not been reviewed yet according to NFL Spokesperson Greg Aiello. He also stated that their main consideration is their committment to the integrity of the game and player safety. He also stated that they realize that everyone is not going to agree with the decisions that they have made. The NFL also hired former federal prosecutor Mary Jo White late last year to review the evidence provided in the case. She states that the evidence is corroborated by documentation as well as independent witnesses. The lawsuit is expected to be heard by Judge Ginger Berrigan. Vilma is asking for unspecified monetary damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees. Stay tuned for more on this story.

For The Horseracing Fans
I'll Have Another is the name of the top horse today. Yesterday he won the Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico Race Course after winning the Kentucky Derby a couple of weeks ago. In this race Bodemeister was the horse that he beat, so this was a replay of the derby. The Belmont Stakes Race is in three weeks. If he wins that one, he will be in the same category as Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed. In 1978, they were the last to win the most coveted prize in thoroughbred racings. This would be a great accomplishment for a horse that's only three years old.

Miami Heat Cancels Practice And Media Appearance
May 18, 2012
The Miami Heat cancelled their practice and media appearance today. After game three's loss, the Heat team just seem to spiral out of control. They now have their backs against the wall because of course they were the team that was chosen to win this series anyways. Indiana says otherwise and they are showing it! They have Miami on their toes! Hopefully Wade, Lebron, and company can regroup with this much needed day off because if not, this series can have a serious turn around. Right now Indiana is just playing their game and not even letting so much hype get to them like Miami. Maybe that's what it is, LeBron and D Wade have so much pressure on them that it is taking control and they are losing focus on their game. Game four is tomorrow so let's stay tuned and see if Miami can get it together before it's too late. Stay tuned.......

Age Ain't Nothing But A Number For The Celtics
May 18, 2012
In last night's game, KG, Pierce, Rondo and the Celtics proved once again why they are one of the beasts of the east. Regardless of how old they are, their talents are still there so why not use them. Besides, there is no age limit to retire in the NBA. It is up to the players on how long they want to play.The big three all had double-doubles in the game. Garnett had 27 points and 13 rebounds, Pierce had 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Rondo had 23 points and 14 assists.
Philly came out ready to play also, but it seems like it was only for the first quarter. Once Kevin Garnett got started, it went down hill for the Sixers. You cannot let up on a team like the Celtics regardless of their age. They are also an experienced championship team that is looking for another banner to raise. Game four is on Friday and now Philly has to come up with a game plan that will match the Celtics. They are only four games into the series, it is too early to let up on a team that is not easy to beat. Philly better play like they want this series especially at home or it will be Boston who will definately be waiting for the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals.

O-K-C!!!!!!
May 18, 2012
In last nght's game against the Lakers, OKC fans in the arena and around the world were on pins and needles until the last two minutes of the game until their big three came to the rescue with their defense and scoring the baskets that they needed in order to win the game by two. The Lakers did have a chance to tie the series, but Steve Blake missed a wide open three pointer with five seconds left in the game. The ball of course was intended for Bryant, but the defense of the Thunder did not let that happen.
Game three is at the Staples Center on Friday. The Lakers' backs are now against the wall, but they are an experienced veteran team and will bounce back from the 2-0 deficit. I now say that this is where the series is about to get good! Kobe Bryant is not going to give up that easy. He's trying to championship number six like the great Michael Jordan. Gasol and Bynum I am pretty sure are having more side meetings to themselves like they did at the end of game one when they lost by 29. This makes a 9-0 playoff run for the Thunder. Look for this to be an adrenaline rush for both teams and fans! Stay tuned.....

Derrick Rose Update:
May 15, 2012
For all the Derrick Rose fans around the world, his surgery on his torn ACL was successful!! The surgery took place on May 12, 2012 in Chicago. He can now work toward a full recovery considering that the season starts in October. I am pretty sure that there will be no rush in getting him back on the court once the season starts, but at least he will have five months of recovery and therapy under his belt.
Stay tuned for more on this story.

Clipper Nation!!!
May 14, 2012
The Los Angeles Clippers fans have something to celebrate. The Clippers made it to only their third playoff series in 41 years! This NBA season told different story once they added point guard Chris Paul to the roster. In Sunday's game, the Clippers' bench came out with a game plan during the fourth quarter that was led by veteran Kenyon Martin. He scored seven of his 11 points. They made quick shots, scored off of Memphis turnovers, and had good defense. Now it is time to move on and play San Antonio on Tuesday. I am pretty sure that the city of Los Angeles now have plenty to celebrate considering that both franchises are in the semi-finals of the playoffs! Congradulations to both teams. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the playoffs!

Lakers Sweep Past The Nuggets In First Round
The Nuggets played a hard fought game seven, but the Lakers move to the second round. Despite all of the controversial comments about the 'Big Two" not stepping up in game six and Majic Johnson saying that if the Lakers didn't win Mike Brown would be fired, they pulled it off anyway. Pau Gasol stepped up with 23 points and 17 rebounds, Metta World-Peace added 15 points, Andrew Bynum had 16 points and 18 rebounds, Kobe Bryant only had 17 points, and last Steve Blake had a career-high with 19 points.

Atlanta Braves Are Looking To Sweep The St. Louis Cardinals
Today, (May 13, 2012) the Atlanta Braves are looking to sweep the series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves are looking for payback after losing seven straight games at Busch Park dating all the way back to 2009. Now taking it back to last year, the Braves lost to the Cardinals in three crucial games that caused them to miss the playoffs and the Cardinals go on to win the World Series. A good game is underway! Stay tuned.....
Boston Takes Game 1
Game one for the Boston/Philly series was of coarse a nailbiter! Philly never trailed the Celtics in the first half, but things changed in the second. Trailing by 13, Boston's defense brought them back in the game by going on a 23-7 run. Boston had a different version of the "Big Three" that came through to help them gain homecourt advantage in this series. It was Garnett with 29 points, Pierce with 14 points, and instead of Allen, Rondo made his mark with his eighth triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 17 assists.

MVP win # 3 for LeBron James
Out of the top candidates for the MVP award, LeBron James wins. The other candidates included Kevin Durant, Tony Parker, and of course Kobe Bryant.just to name a few. This will be his third trophy in four years. The trophy is well deserved, but I thought that it was a close call. The other candidates were well deserved in getting nominated. Congradulations LeBron!

The Lakers' "Two Bigs"
The Nuggets have surprised the non-believers by forcing a game 7 in Los Angeles on Saturday. Bryant and Coach Brown both agree that Bynum and Gasol didn't play their best in the 113-96 loss. It seems like a lot of pressure is on those two for the do or die game! Do you think Denver can pull it off? or will the Laker's take it?
The Charlotte Bobcats
According to yahoo.com, The Charlotte Bobcats are looking at Patrick Ewing for a possible coaching position. Do you think that Patrick can come in and save them? What do you think?
