...Ok, so usually something like this wouldnt bother me but the more I got thinking about it, the more steamed I became. All but three living Super Bowl MVPs were present for the Pre-Game Ceremony. Those players were Terry Bradshaw, joe Montana, and Jake Scott. Oh, Jake Scott was traveling in Australia and could not make it you say? Well were Bradshaw and Montana with him? No, they werent! Wait, did you say they were both in Detroit at some point last week. What could have happened that would have kept them from attending a Ceremony honoring a game that has been both good and lucrative to them lets see:

1.)Death in the Family Nope not that, I called and spoke with every immediate member of the Brads...more

Premiership Transfer Window Review - Part Two

...David Walker continues his review of the January transfer window and how the moves will impact each teams success, or survival at the end of the 2005/06 season.

Everton
After spending the early part of the season facing a relegation battle the only reinforcements came in the form of Alan Stubbs, joining from Sunderland for his second spell at the club.

Two players have left the club Marcus Bent to Charlton and Per Kroldrup to Fiorentina. The Danish defender arrived in a 5 million switch from Udinese but returned to Italy for substantially less after making just one league appearance.

At 10 points clear, Everton look safe from the drop but you may be tempted by the 33/1 relegation odds.

Fulham
Fulham are battling against relegation and have made five new signings. Goalkeepers Tony Warner and Antti Niemi joined from Cardiff and Southampton respectively while New Zealand international Simon Elliott arrived from Columbus Crew. Defender Wayne Bridge and midfielder Michael Brown joined from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Without an away win all season, Fulhams strength and key to survival lies in their form ...more

Success Lessons From Three UK Soccer Managers - People Are Always Quick To Put You In A Coffin

...ed clubs would ask him to be their coach if he was sacked. However I think he could still say 'Goodbye' without hesitation even if this was not the case. He is a man of decision and not one to wait around for things to happen. He is the type to make things happen his way or he'll head for the highway.

Alex Ferguson at Manchester United is another great soccer manager who never gives up. This season he is trying to catch up with Chelsea. He looks for any signs of hope: "Chelsea are not playing as well as they were four or five weeks ago. They don't have the form to fall back on." United are ready to pounce if Chelsea slip up. Sir Alex is a ferocious competitor.

All three of these managers are great leaders and motivators. They maintain their confidence and motivation and put a brave face on things when games go wrong. They never give up and they are decisive proud men who know their value.

They teach us not to get into the coffin before our time; to climb smaller mountains if we fail to climb the tallest;to focus on what we can do something about; to concentrate on what we have available and not on what we haven't; to move on if we are not happy; to compete ferociously even when we are behind - we can never know when our competitor might slip up!

The Top Five NFL Stadiums

...Houstons Reliant Stadium. Since the dome is made from a fiberglass fabric, sun is a natural star in this stadium. Enough light is allowed in the stadium for it to have natural grass which the players seem to love and the game will be fun to watch whether the dome is open or closed.

In fourth place is Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions. Ranked by Dan as the best indoor stadium ever, the brick and exposed duct work make this stadium feel like a trendy oversized loft that was converted from an oversized factory. With a seven story atrium and a connection to Hudsons warehouses, Ford Field was built like more of a workplace than a football sta...more
