British athletes may skip London Opening Ceremony

I think I would skip the opening ceremony too. Sometimes there is too much show and not enough sport. London should hire the Super Bowl people, they can get dancers, stages and bands in and out it 15 minuets.
What's an Olympic Opening Ceremony without Olympic athletes? We may find that out in London next year, as several high-profile British athletes are contemplating boycotting the Opening Ceremony.

Coaches have already banned the entire British track and field squad from taking part in the London 2012 ceremony, even though they will not be competing until at least a week later. Britain's swimming team is likely to follow suit.

Brett Favre’s agent: Talk of a possible comeback this season is just speculation.

Where have we heard this story before. It's all speculation? Bus Cook, Brett's agent and Brett Favre are hired to help my career, no one has had more staying power than Brett Favre. We talk about him every year. We'll talk about him ten years from now. I think he's trying to play for every NFL team, he's the only quarterback to beat them all, now he will be the only one to play for them all.

I just realized something. The Philadelphia Eagles fans are like the Viking fans. They have cheered their team on, then think they might go all the way, only to fall quickly and dash the hopes of everyone.

Well, now they can have our OLD quarterback. Do you really think Favre will come back to be a back up for Michael Vick?

I woke up to this story in front of me and had to share it with you.

When Has Taking Second Become A Bad Thing?

I spent the weekend watching the U.S. women's soccer team play Japan for the FIFA World Cup. I was disappointed they lost. So much work and to lose on penalty kicks at the end. The First thing I thought was, soccer is a cruel game, you spend an hour and a half running......running....running...and it's so hard to score a goal. All it takes is being in the right place at the right time.  The US team was getting the shots, just not the breaks. The other thing I thought was how proud I was of this team. The Americans are never looked at as the soccer power of the world, and for this team to make it to the finals was an accomplishment.That was yesterday, now there's today. I still feel nothing but pride for these women, but anger for the media and how they are treating these women. Since when is taking second a bad thing? The US is the second best team in the WORLD!! The thing is, it could have gone either way, and almost did. Back to the media..
