The history of the NFL changed forever Tuesday when Green Bay Packer quarterback, Brett Favre, announced his retirement after seventeen years of throwing passes and winning football games.

Whether you hate the Packers and their diehard cheese head fans, you can’t deny what Favre has done for the sport of football. His passion for the sport and the game helped him through some of the hardest periods of his life, especially the death of his father in 2003 and his wife Deanna’s battle with breast cancer in 2004.

Hillary Clinton won Ohio and Rhode Island tonight. Right now she’s leading Texas after coming from behind, so I hope that she wins Texas. The whole delegate thing is just confusing for me, but I’m hoping she stands strong in this.

Today was a… weird day. First off, the day came. The day that Brett Favre announces his retirement. (more…)

So, I haven’t really posted my thoughts on the whole Heath Ledger thing. Why? Well for several reasons… I didn’t have time, the energy, and emotionally, I wasn’t ready. I will admit that I have never been his greatest fan, but I love 75% of all his movies. I was ecstatic just a few weeks ago when classes started and that picture above was on the cover of one of my textbooks, for Digital Media Production. It made me watch “Brokeback Mountain” again. Then I bought “10 Things I Hate About You” because the movie is good, and I was started to become enthusied with him playing the Joker in Batman and then bam…

I see the news.

Heath Ledger is the real first celebrity that I was a fan of that died in my lifetime besides Chris Farley and Princess Diana and that hit me really hard at a really bad time. I’m older now and I understand how life and the industry works better. I understand what being a fan is more than I ever did when I was 17 (when Farley and Diana died). This has just caused me to look at so many things differently. I put a little memorial piece in the newspaper this week. Some laughed at me, but that’s my emphasis… entertainment and features… it’s my area.

Other than the tragic news, my week has just been odd. (more…)

Look at that face. Three points. In overtime. Just three little points and my boys would have went to the Superbowl, yet again. I always knew Peyton Manning was my favorite Manning brother. I watched both the Patriots win last night and the Packers lose and how badly did I want both of the P teams to head to the Super Bowl. It would have been the best vs. the next best (Brett vs. Brady). I have to say that I would rather New England win the Super Bowl because I just don’t like the Giants. They played a good game last night, but I just don’t like ‘em. For the Packers being such a young team (meaning the members are still relatively new), they had a good season and Brett’s season was fabulous considering the season he had last year. I just hope he chooses not to leave just yet. I’ve made it my priority that next season, I’m going to see him play somewhere. I don’t care if I have to fly somewhere. I never got to see Troy Aikman play because I was too young (early middle school years) but I am going to see Brett play. I’ve been a fan for over ten years now. Hell, my Packers jacket that is like my security blanket is 12 years old. LMAO.

It was a good season, Brett - a very good season… so come back.

Oh by the way, Betty, I don’t think Nick Carter likes Mr. Brady very much

My university just went out today and kicked some ass, winning their second National Championship in four years. This year was special because our coach left to go to Georgia Southern and we showed him we don’t need him! It was on ESPN 2 today also for any of you guys that got to watch it! We beat Northwest Missouri State 25-20 and they become the first team in Division 2 to lose the Championship three consecutive years in a row!

Color me shocked. Jacksonville Jaguar Marcus Stroud, who I went to high school with, has been suspended for four weeks by the NFL for violation… basically, he took steriods after a surgery in the off season.

On top of that, Richard Collier (who plays for the Jags) who went to my college and played for the Blazers is suspended for driving under the influence after being found asleep at a McDonald’s drive-thru.

WTF are these boys thinking?!? Marcus!

(btw, that’s the Sports Illustrated cover that Marcus was on when we were in high school. I have an autographed copy lol)
