Second Chances

Everyone deserves a second chance.  Sure maybe you might crash and burn all over again and people will say I told you so, but maybe something magical will happen instead (you do like magic don’t you?).  Maybe all of your wildest dreams will come true.  Everything will fall perfectly into place, and you will be glad you took the chance instead of wandering only WHAT IF?

Super Bowl Victory Tainted

The referees gave the game to the Steelers.  If you watched the game, how could they not have stopped it to review the “Fumble” by Kurt Warner.  His arm was clearly moving forward with the ball, the ball is then released, the ball then hits the ground.  How is that not an incomplete pass?!  Why didn’t they stop the game to review the play?!  There was a penalty at the end of that “Fumble” play as well, so that if Arizona had retained possession (should have been ruled an incomplete pass), they would have been on the 30 yard line.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Santonio Holmes used the Continue reading
