You can help Jason get to the All Star Game, if you will place a vote for him on the National League ballot. You can select up to 3 outfielders for the National League and it would be nice to mark Heyward for the Braves as one of your choices. He’s a great guy and swings a big bat. I think he would do well in the Home Run Derby too! Fans can vote for the MLB players they would like to see in the Home Run Derby. Heyward’s name did not get placed on the home run ballots, but there is a write-in option on the ballot. If you can take the time to write Jason’s name in on the Home Run Derby, he would probably get some strong consideration as one of the sluggers to represent the National League in the Derby this year.

There’s no secrets on why the Atlanta Braves are currently in first place in the NL East. They have been led by the big swings of Heyward’s bat and he has the whole team and the whole city of Atlanta buzzing about the talent he has and at such a young age. If you would like to see this kid play in a MLB game that will be made up of the best of the best; then please vote Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves to this year’s 2010 All Star Game; which will take place in early July. You can vote more than once for the players you would like to see in the All Star Game and the Century 21 Homerun Derby and it would be nice for a few of your votes to go Jason’s way.

The Americans did something on Sunday night that no one thought they could do. They beat a much more talented team (by NHL standards) from Canada on their home ice in Vancouver. It was a great game to see and MSNBC did a beautiful job in covering the historic event to millions and millions of hockey fans that tuned in from North America last night. The game between Canada and the United States was “must see TV” for those that got a chance to see this great hockey match up.

There was a 30 minute pregame show on MSNBC to highlight this hockey match between the rivals from Canada and the United States. When you look at the Canadians line up from last night’s game, it was hard to imagine how the U.S. would keep up on the ice. They did more than keep up as they controlled the game from the start. Canada never did have the lead in the Olympic hockey match that was featured on MSNBC in the States last night. They did come from behind 2 different times to tie the score, but the young American hockey players always had a answer for Canada’s attempts on a comeback. It was a game that the USA would win 5 to 3 over Canada.

It was an electric atmosphere in Vancouver as 20,000 fans (mostly Canadian) filled up the arena in Western Canada. Big TV screens and monitors were placed outside of the arena and lots of fans packed the local bars and taverns in the Vancouver area to watch this big hockey game. The Canadian Government decided to stop liquor sells at 10PM on Sunday, so they could have a little more control with the huge crowds in Vancouver. This was expected to be a huge celebration in Canada, after their stars rolled over the USA team. That never did happen and the USA men’s hockey team would leave the millions in Canada stunned. Hockey isn’t a sport the Americans are known for and it’s much more popular in Canada. It’s hard to determine where this historic win will fall in Olympic history with the Americans, but it’s right up there with the 1980 win over the Russian hockey team in Lake Placid, New York. That was the “Miracle on Ice” and it looks like our hockey team has created a 2nd version of the Miracle on Ice.

The hockey tournament in Vancouver is far from over. There’s a good chance the Americans will have to face Russia now and perhaps the Canadian team will have a 2nd chance to redeem their self with the loss to the Americans last night. Expect things to really heat up now as the USA hockey team now has a horse in the race.

It’s nice to see guys from the NHL (National Hockey League) playing at a competitive level. We don’t get that level of competition from the annual NHL All Star Game and it’s so much better to see these guys playing with real determination. It’s a competitive field and the USA team looks prepared to go the distance with the boys from Canada and the talented team from Russia. Who will win gold for men’s hockey in Vancouver?

With competition between satellite radio and local radio stations heating up the emergence of HD radio is growing weekly.

Now is the perfect time to look to upgrade your current system in your car or home and surprise someone for Christmas. There are some great specials on various HD radios and accessories so now is the time to start shopping.

Most people still don’t get baseball and if you think Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds is not good baseball players; then think again! Before you throw these two legends under the bus, let’s keep in mind another athlete that drugs has came to the surface and he too is at the top of the sports world. Ever wondered what made Tiger Woods hit the ball so far? Obviously Tiger Woods and his recent accident that showed different types of narcotics in his system is not too far off from the steroid game. It’s only natural to think Tiger Woods took steroids and he is probably laying down the clubs now, because he probably fears a drug investigation on his great golf play. He obviously knows a way to beat the drug tests and how many people are aware of a strict PGA drug test anyways? I’m sure Tiger’s biggest fears right now is for his steroid-use to make public headlines and one person out there could help this to surface. The former Mrs. Woods has to be pretty mad at Tiger and she probably holds a few of the cards when it comes to linking the great Tiger Woods with steroids or other performance enhancing drugs.

After Tiger Wood’s accident, he was clearly on prescription medications. The accident didn’t knock him unconscious. He was in that state from the use of drugs that has been cleverly keep quiet to this point. Stories have emerged of his name being prescribed narcotics, but for some reason the police in Florida did not think Tiger’s drug use was that important. Florida police went a step further and said no evidence of a fight or assault ever took place on the grounds of Tiger Wood’s home. I guess they bought the golf club through the window story too; where Mrs. Woods was using a golf club to break the window and get her cheating Tiger out. Even though photos clearly show that no damage was done to the driver’s side door and if Tiger wasn’t on drugs, he could have simply open the door himself.

Now let’s compare golf with baseball. Golf is a sport where the ball just sits there and golfers give it their best hack. A good aim or stroke is important and then the ability to muster up enough strength to hit the ball. The person that drives the ball the furthest on each swing has the greatest chances to win. In baseball you have a human trying to deceive the hitter with different pitches. Some are off-speed pitches, some are fastballs, some are curve balls, and the list goes on and on on how pitchers try to fool the hitters. Regardless of how strong you are or how fast you are, it still takes a tremendous amount of ability to actually hit the pitch. Steroids can only go so far in helping a Major League baseball player hit for a higher average or hit for more home runs. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire have talent and these guys were going to hit home runs with or without steroids. Maybe they got more distance on their homers by the use of steroids. Maybe a dozen fly balls a year, that should have been caught on the warning track, flew out of the park due to steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. The bottom-line is that Mark McGwire had talent and his drug use could only help him so much.

That isn’t the case with Tiger Woods. Golf is a much different sport and steroids for a golfer is a lot better; than it would be for a baseball player. I hope no golf fans really think Tiger is a naturally gifted golfer. Tiger Woods has clearly used steroids or performance enhancing drugs to become the star he is today. Now that we have learned about his narcotics-use, there is no telling how far Tiger’s drug dependencies go. Many think Tiger will return to golf later this year. One guy from ESPN said late March. I don’t see where he is getting his information from. I think Tiger Woods has a drug problem and his recent troubles has only caused his drug-use to go up. Don’t be surprised to see Tiger checking into a rehab clinic pretty soon. Actually you should be surprised, because Tiger would never let that become public knowledge. He has managed to keep his steroids under the radar, but I think Mark McGwire being front page news now will help others put 2 & 2 together and we can yell “FOUR” like we never have before. Tiger Woods has cheated the PGA, his fellow golfers, his wife, his fans, and the high dollar sponsors. Even though some sponsors still support his drug use and driving while on drugs. Not to mention the lies and adultery these sponsors support like Nike and others.  Let’s change these Mark McGwire headlines and replace his name with Tiger Woods for the performance enhancing drugs, so we can kill this topic off for good.

Perhaps Tiger will go to jail and maybe he want. Rich people don’t go to jail, right? Well today is the 2nd straight day in a row that Tiger Woods has eluded police investigators as they try to learn more about his fight with his wife and the drugs he was taking; when Tiger Woods wrecked in the early morning hours of Friday November 27th. Tiger might want to understand that the police don’t like to be made a mockery of and that is exactly what the very rich and very spoiled Tiger Woods is currently doing.

Tiger Woods is known to have a spoiled side to him and he does often get his way. I’m not sure how much longer the Florida police will play his games, but it’s much different in the legal system; than on the greens of nice golf course. Often Tiger has yelled, shouted, and even got fans threw out at golf tournaments as he has blamed them for noises or a camera flash during his swing. Many golf fans and other professional golfers have made fun of Tiger for his spoiled behavior patterns on the golf course. Many don’t do this in public, but lots of jokes get made behind Tiger’s back; when it comes to the way he handles his self and the maturity level he displays sometimes.

Police do want to learn more about the things that caused him and his wife Elin Nordegren to fight in the late hours of Thanksgiving night. Current reports are showing they had a fight over a mistress Tiger Woods has up in New York some where. It appears Tiger was cheating on his wife and this is what led to the argument. 

Tiger Woods drug usuageis also coming into play as police want to know more about the prescription drugs that was in Tiger Wood’s system that night. The combination of anger and drugs is not a good mixture and one Florida fire hydrant can vouch for that. Tiger ran right over a fire hydrant and then hitting a tree. No blood was found on the steering wheel, but both of Tiger Wood’s lips were bloody. These wounds probably came from Elin his wife and she probably did some sort of physical violence against Mr. Woods and Elin Nordegren is probably facing charges with the police too.

I would imagine the career is over for Tiger Woods. A lengthy suspension from the PGA tour is probably coming Tiger’s way and a number of sponsors will probably drop Tiger Woods off their advertising and promotional campaigns. Companies related to Tiger Woods will want to cut ties with the golfer, so consumers don’t relate their products with the misconduct that Tiger and his wife did in the early morning hours of Black Friday in Florida.

Overall it’s been a good run for Tiger and he did push golf to a new level. He will be remembered for a long time and has set the bar high for new golfers that come aboard on the PGA Tour. I would expect the police to arrest Tiger Woods the first chance they get. They may just pay him a late night visit tonight and take him away in handcuffs, so they can get their investigation underway and find out exactly what happened.

There is a lot to digest here with drug use, cheating on a spouse, a car accident, and then probably a physical beating that Tiger Wood’s was on the wrong end of. Regardless of his fame or how much money he is worth, police would not be making these 2nd and 3rd trips to his house like they would for us. Regular citizens would have already had a warrant out for them and probably in police custody by now. The Florida police did give Tiger a break and came back today to ask questions and probably arrest him too. Showing up the police two days in a row is not going to sit well with the authorities, I think they will be bringing in their man pretty soon. Tiger had a chance to speak with investigators in the comforts of his home and now these questions will probably be asked to him in a Florida police station. I’m sure Tiger wanted to watch Stanford and Notre Dame football game in college on Saturday night. He got to see his football game Saturday, but it was time to pay the Piper on Sunday and Tiger Woods failed to do this. Lots more coming on this story and I can’t wait for the TV movie of the week to do this story, so we can see the full timeline of events that probably ended Tiger Wood’s golf career.

If you laid the Empire State Building down on its side; then that would be how long this new football stadium is. It also supports one of the largest TV screens in the world that is located right above the center of the field. Fans will get a chance to see replays of game action really easily on this huge TV screen.

I’m sure the New York Giants don’t want to be the first team to lose in the new stadium and Dallas will have their hands full tonight. It’s already week 2 of the NFL schedule, but this will be the first home game for the Dallas Cowboys football team and their fans to attend the new stadium. NBC will carry the game live tonight in front of a national audience as they go for the history books with one of the largest crowds ever to watch an NFL game.

I can’t wait for Hit Silo and I plan to be one of the first ones to join. You can join Hitsilo for free and start promoting your favorite websites there too. It will be a website that anyone can use and you don’t have to belong to a special club to join. I have a feeling a lot of people will be running to Hit Silo when they give us the “go ahead” sign to join.

If you been looking for a way to earn extra money; then Hitsilo may be a good place for that. We are being told now that they will pay up to 70% in commissions. That’s a nice percentage and members at Hitsilo won’t have to worry about getting paid or not. You do have to worry about a lot of online programs that claim to pay you for certain things. I have been ripped off on a few scams in my lifetime on the Net. Logiscape Technologies has a good track record and they will be an admin you can trust online. The idea of advertising my other money making programs online and earning extra cash while I do it, sounds like a win win situation for me. You should do the same and join hit silo, so you can get paid for advertising your favorite websites.

If you have never heard of Logiscape Technologies before, you can go now and sign up for a couple of their creations they have perfected online. I think TS 25 is the best one for getting results, but Trafficera is the most fun. I always rank Traffic Syndicate 25 and EasyHits4U as the two best traffic exchanges online. I highly recommend joining one of them or both. If you got time to surf a 3rd TE; then give the Trafficera traffic exchange a try. They have over 2,000 teams at Trafficera you can choose to join and they even have a Google surfing team!

Now you have a few things you can sign up for and once you see the quality of the Logiscape websites, you will want to add Hitsilo as one of your advertising weapons online. Millions and millions of people are out there just waiting to become members in our downlines. It’s up to us to go find these people and a website like Hitsilo is a great place to start!

The NFL has preseason football in full-swing, the NHL has their preseason games just around the corner and the NBA will start up in early October. A lot of fantasy football owners have conducted their drafts and have their fantasy teams ready to go. A few fantasy football leagues will wait until the 4th preseason game is played, so they can have information on all the preseason game injuries that might happen to some of the star players. I would like to know how Brett Favre and Michael Vick are going in these fantasy football drafts. Did you take a gamble on Vick or Favre for your fantasy football team?

I know the hockey fans are ready for the puck to drop and soon fantasy hockey leagues will be forming. Hockey is a world-wide sport and it’s possible you have people in your fantasy hockey leagues that live in Europe or on other continents. North America has thousands and thousands of NHL fans that participate in these hockey fantasy drafts and these guys love to draft their own local stars. I live just north of Atlanta, so people in my area will want to load up on a few Atlanta Thrasher players. Fantasy hockey is one of the easier fantasy sports to do and follow and you should give it a try; if you haven’t never played fantasy hockey before.

Now the NBA season is what I can’t wait for. Along with the start of basketball, you do get many NBA fans looking to draft a fantasy basketball team. I know Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the two most sought after NBA players. I’m a big Kobe fan and was glad to see the L.A. Lakers win the championship last year. I think the Lakers with Artest will repeat as champions and they will have another good season this year too. My advice to fantasy basketball owners is to draft Artest in the 2nd round and no later in the 3rd round. He’s going to put up some big time stats this year and will be a valuable player to have on your fantasy teams. The fantasy NBA action can’t start until the kick-offs occur and the guys on the ice drop the puck for the first time.

Which fantasy sport do you look most forward to?

A. Fantasy Football

B. Fantasy Hockey

C. Fantasy Basketball

Is there any other fantasy sport that is better than fantasy baseball?

Let me know your favorite fantasy sports and which ones you participate in. I am a big sports nut and I have played in them all. Fantasy sports is great for kids and adults. It can really be fun when you get your friends in the same fantasy leagues as you’re in. You can find places online to play free fantasy sports, so try to avoid spending money on your fantasy sports cravings.

A whole new movie is forming in South Carolina and once again we have a “Jenny” as the supporting actress. Jenny Sanford is her name and she is standing up to her husband, who just happens to be the Governor of South Carolina. This governor didn’t seem to like his Jenny that much and decided to go all the way to South America for a new girl friend. Normally this would have been fine, but Governor Sanford made 1 big mistake and he was still married to Jenny Sanford when he went fleeing south.

No big worries for Mrs. Sanford in South Carolina though. The whole world now knows just how bad of a guy Mark Sanford is and this Jenny is leaving her man too! Mark Sanford in some ways has the intelligence of Forrest Gump, but the man doesn’t have the Gump heart or the Bubba Gump Shrimping Company. He does hold the highest political office in the state of South Carolina and I’m sure the citizens want to see this man gone.

He really should be serving time behind bars. He has stole tax payer’s money for the 2nd time and he did pay back the money the first time he stole from the pockets of South Carolina residents. If a bank robber steals from a bank, they don’t give them the option of paying it back, it’s a crime that sends the bank robber straight to jail. Mark Sanford should be sent straight to jail for this latest episode of stealing tax payer money and this was money used to fund his trips to South America and meet up with his mistress.

The citizens of South Carolina have a good reason to be upset with their governor, but pretty soon that anger needs to shift toward the people still letting him hold his position. Mark Sanford is no longer welcomed as a U.S. Governor. I am a U.S. Citizen, but not a S.C. citizen and it shames me to have a man like this running one of our 50 states.  

There is another part of the world dealing with a similar circumstance. The citizens of Iran have a leader in office that doesn’t belong there and the voters don’t want him there either. It’s clear the majority of Iran doesn’t want their current leader in power and he’s only there because of false election results; that his political party tampered with. Iran and South Carolina are in the same boat and neither have the right man in control of their country or state. It may be time for people living outside the borders of South Carolina to step-in and help get Mark Sanford taken out of office and the man really should be facing jail time for his theft of tax payer money! His ex-wife Jenny is the one residents should support and a vote for Mark Sanford is a vote for cheaters, liars, and people that don’t love their wives or kids. It may sound harsh talking about a U.S. Governor this way, but he’s no better than the Iranian Leader holding office or any person in prison serving a sentence for theft and robbery.

 The new show from CBS is still on the air. I know some people thought it stop coming on, but Harper’s Island is now being shown on Saturday nights. I’m not sure why they left their Thursday night spot, but it is still coming on at 9PM EST. They are still on CBS and the strange things continue to take place on the Seattle Island.

The murder count is racking up and we still don’t know who the killer is. There are clues each week that we have to digest and try to figure out who the killer is going to be. I’m sure the producers of Harper’s Island have a few twists up their sleeves. I don’t think the killer would be anyone that looks like the obvious choice. One of those people is the boyfriend to the girl that was found hanging at home. Her death has pointed the finger at that guy and he does act strange. Since he does look like the killer or at least the one that is responsible for his girlfriend’s death, I don’t think he’s our man. I guess I should say “woman” too; along with “man” because it’s possible the killer is a woman. I know my very first guess before this new series even started, I was guessing Abbey as the killer. I know she is the last person we would expect to be killing, but that’s the way I think the show’s creators are thinking on this one.

Let me know if you have been watching Harper’s Island and what you think about it. I do think it’s something different to watch on television, but I don’t think it will win any awards for the best new show. I’m sure there will be better programs on TV than this in the 2009 year. I do like Harper’s Island and you can start watching it this Saturday to catch up with the rest of us. There is still a lot of people breathing on this tiny island off the coast of Seattle in Washington State. The number does get lower each week as people continue to get murdered. Stay tuned…
