Black and White

Recently Donovan McNabb made some comments about black and white quarterbacks in the NFL and how white quarterbacks have it easier because they aren't criticised as much as the black quarterbacks after he had a terrible game. After the game everyone was asking him why he was having such a bad game and what was wrong. You could definitely tell something was wrong with his game he just didn't look the same. Then later that week he made comments on HBO about how white quarterbacks have it easier in the NFL than black quarterbacks and that black quarterbacks have higher expectations. According to http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3025308 Donovan said that black quarterbacks are under more pressure and that he meant every word of it. When i first heard this I just thought what the heck is he talking about, he is just saying this because he had an awful game. I mean come on he is sort of being rude and a jerk with comments like these. How would you feel if you were a white quarterback in the NFL. I am surprised that no one has said anything about this yet because i know that i certainly would if i was a quarterback in the NFL. What do you think, do you think this would upset you if you were a white quarterback in the NFL. What are your thoughts about this whole scandal? Maybe he is just saying all of this because Mike Vick is getting in to so much trouble and he just wants to take the pressure off of him. But in conclusion i think the whole thing was just ridiculous.

Mr. Bonds and Steroids

Steroids. That one word pretty much sums up baseball over the last ten years. That one word has also caused many problems throughout the baseball world, ecspecially with Barry Bonds. There are many people that think his all-time home run record that he recently just acquired was tainted or not all Barry, in other words they think that with the help of steroids he got the home run record. Then there are others who think that he completely earned this record, which according to most people is the most important record in all of sports, they think that he deserves every single home run that he hit. The reason that this is such a big deal through the public eye is because it is the most important record in all of sports. Reports from his teammates in San Fransisco say that they clearly remember how skiny Barry was at one point and then during one off-season he came back the next year and looked twice the size that he was the year before. I don't know about you but if I saw that I would instantly say what everyone else would say, he had to of used steroids. Barry has also said in front of a federal judge that he has not used steroids, so if the investigation continues and they find out that in fact Barry Bonds has used steroids in the past or he is currently using them then not only will he be punished through Major Leagur Baseball but for pergey in the courts because he lied to a federal judge. So, did Barry Bonds use steroids? I guess we will have to leave it up to you and the rest of the public.

Betting in Sports

According to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1265784, Pete Rose is the all-time career hit leader in Major League History with 4, 256 hits. This happens to be one of the greatest records in the game of baseball. Four years after he became the career leader in hits, there was an investigation on Pete Rose and him Gambling money for and against his team the Cincinnati Reds. He did this throughout his career many times both as a player and a coach for the Reds. As a result of him gambling on baseball he has been kicked out of the league and is also not allowed to be a part of the baseball hall of fame. In my opinion i think that is just a little to much. I do agree with the fact that he should not be allowed to come back in to the league and coach, but I don't think he should be kept from the hall of fame. I mean come on how can you tell me that Pete Rose, one of the best players ever to play the game and the career hit leader should be kept from the hall of fame, I don't think so. His nickname according to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1265784 his nickname was Charlie Hustle because he always played so hard and had a passion for the game, so obviously he cared so much about the game that the gambling didn't even matter that much to him. But that's just my opinion of what should happen with the whole Pete Rose Scandal but that's just my opinion and mine isn't the only one that matters. So, should Pete Rose, the career hit leader of the MLB, be left out of the game of baseball and the hall of fame?

Atheletes gett off easy?

I don't know about anyone else but it appears to me that whenever an athlete or someone who is a celebrity gets in trouble with the law they seem to get off so much more easy than the average american would. It almost make me sick to my stomach to think that they should get off easier just because everyone knows who they are. It's almost like the judges who are sentensing them are too afraid to be harsh or even do anything at all, for the simple fact that the world would hate them. For example when Ray Lewis "killed his lemo driver," which everyone knows he did, absolutely nothing happened to him. I mean come on it was blateinly obvious that he killed the guy, but yet again i believe for the simple fact that because he was an athlete he got off easy. But i don't know everything so you be the judge. Another great example of this is when O.J. Simpson got off after he was found inocent for killing his wife. Eventhough all the clues lead to himm and everything pointed in his direction, he some how was found inocent. Again because he was a celebrity he got off easy. So if I could just get everyone else's thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to see if everyone else feels the same way that I do about these ahtletes and getting off easy, or if there is anyone who completely disagrees with me.

Feelings About Writing

I feel that writing is a great way to express your feelings towards a subject and it lets everyone know how you feel. Writing has always come easy to me which is why I like it. I think that it comes easy to me because I love to write and brainstorm. It gives me a chance to express the feelings that i posses. Which is why I think that writing can be very fun at times because it allows me to express my feelings. Writing can also be very frustrating to me, especially when you are given a difficult topic and you have no idea where to start. The reason that I feel it is frustrating is because i don't want to just sit there and think, I always feel like I have to be going somewhere with everything. So if nothing is coming to me it just gets me very frustrated.
