Weekly Bulletin




Football season is right around the corner, so for all of you fans, I got a league for you. Last year, I entered into this Survival league ran by this guy in Michigan for the first time. For those of you who don't know how a Survival league works, here are the guidelines. Each week you have to pick one team to win, but you have to remember that you can't pick that team for the rest of the year. When eliminated, you get put into a second chance pool where the winner would get $300 (Me last year). Cost per spot is $20 and you can get I think up to three spots. I am pretty sure the grand prize last year was well over $1,000. Overall, it is a ton of fun and makes each week that more exciting. If your interested I will give you all the information to join. You could either e-mail Larry Jackson ( larry_dale_48455@yahoo.com) for more information or mail your $20 with a sheet of paper that has your name, address, and e-mail to the address below.

I don't know who made this or how they got a Patrick Kane jersey in Grand Theft Auto, but this is creative and funny. Well Done

Stupid Things in Sports...

7. Little League World Series- This is something that needs to be taken off ESPN permanently. First, their sideline reporter Moises Arias is a tool and is like 12. If you have ever seen him during the games then you would understand. Second, each game has 6 umpires which is 2 more than the regular MLB game. Lastly, Orel Hershiser is a terrible commentator compared to Harold Reynolds. I could see how cool it would be to play in it, but as an avid ESPN watcher, it is boring to watch all day.

8. NCAA Pregame Handshake- I feel every year football becomes softer in different ways. This year the NCAA is encouraging schools to arrange team wide handshakes on the field before kickoff. I hate how referees protect the quarterback, and now this handshake policy is against what football stands for. The handshake is only planned for the first week of games, and is not mandatory. (Thank God) I wouldn't be surprised if next year the players exchange gifts before games.

Congratulations to Greg Paulus on winning the starting quarterback job at Syracuse. Now he has to face Minnesota, Penn State and Northwestern to start the season. Good Luck



Two balls in the same at bat!!! With the luck that this kid was having someone should of let him by a lotto ticket. Love the standing ovation at the end.



Could you imagine if you were going to slow and didn't make the loop? What would you do? Too bad this thing is in Germany because otherwise I would definitely try it.

Heisman Watch



Tim Tebow- After winning the National Championship, he decided to come back for his senior year to win another. Tebow is the epitome of a leader and an athlete who cares more about his team winning than his own statistics. One thing that every college football fan will never forget is when he guaranteed to win every game after their loss to Ole Miss last year. Florida has a relatively easy schedule this year due to the fact that their first four games are at home. With Florida returning all of their defensive starters, Tebow and key offensive players such as Demps and Rainey look for Florida to take down the SEC and play in the Rose Bowl. Key Game- @ LSU

Colt McCoy- Was the Heisman runner-up last year, and like Tebow, decided to come back for his senior year to win a National Championship. Last year, McCoy set the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage at 76.7%. Also led the team in rushing with 561 yards and 11 TD's. McCoy threw for 3,859 yards and 34 TDs (eight INTs) for a passer rating of 173.8 (third NCAA). The Longhorns did lose Quan Cosby who was their top receiver, but do return Jordan Shipley, Vondrell McGee and their entire starting o-line. McCoy will need sophomore receiver Malcolm Williams (6-3 220) to step up if the Longhorns want to get to the National Championship. Key Games- Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, @ Oklahoma St

Sam Bradford- Bradford won the Heisman last year as a sophomore, and looks to improve upon his nation leading 50 touchdown passes. In two seasons, Bradford is 23-5 as a starter. He has thrown for 7,841 yards. He has thrown 86 touchdowns and only 16 interceptions. Oklahoma did lose key offensive starters such as Juaqin Iglesias and Manuel Johnson. On the offensive line, Oklahoma loses four starters including the anchor OT Phil Loadholt (6-8 337) who was drafted by the Vikings in the second round. Bradford will have to use 6-6 TE Jermaine Gresham, and his quick release if he wants a chance at the Heisman this year.
Key Games- @ Miami, @ Texas Tech, Texas at the Cotton Bowl

Jahvid Best- Many see Best as being an underdog in this race but his stats speak for himself. Last year Best was the leading rusher in the nation. He ran 194 times for 1,580 yards and 15 scores while averaging 8.1 yards per carry. The one knock on Best is his durability, so staying healthy will be a key for a Heisman season. This off season Best has added 7 pounds of muscle and has been working on his flexibility with a daily course of stretching. Cal is so excited about their all-purpose running back that they even created a website www.best4heisman.com for the upcoming year.
Key Games- @ Oregon, USC

Funny music video with Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Mo Williams and Rashard Williams. The Durant solo is the best.



This dunk is way worst than the one on Lebron. If you don't know John Wall, he is the number one recruit in the nation and will be playing at Kentucky next year. Even though Stackhouse is old, he's 6-6 and got dunked on by a guy who is 3 inches shorter than him.



I am not sure what the guy did in order for him to deserve the taser but if you look in the background you can see a guy get pushed down the stairs. Also, at 1:42 there is a foul ball in that exact area, which is very random. My favorite part is when he initially gets tasered he puts his hands out and yells,"Nothing, nothing, nothing". Then the fan comments, " Come on, take it easy on him". Could you imagine being at this game and sitting near this?
