Another day, another loss....

Well looks like were back at square one. After we came back from our last defeat by the hands of the raiders where our defense shut them down in the 2nd half but still lost 15-12. This game was a total $#!% show. After a quite ineffective FG fake in the first quarter you could have said it went downhill from there. After a few turnovers (I believe we had around 8 turnovers in total), the final score was 47-0. It's safe to say we were quite dejected after probably the 2nd quarter. Man things need to change for our club soon for us to have a chance for the rest of the season. Another week of work ahead and who knows who may show up.

V is for Victory(a)

Well it has been awhile but whatever I'm a busy man leading a busy life....I wish. Anyways, last night our team enjoyed our first victory of the season but definitely not the last as we have to start running the table and live up to the cliche underdog team and rise from the ashes. If you were wondering the final score was 31-7, if you want some professional writing on the game.

So finally a good reason to party. Under a controlled environment at the Cote's house. Well if you know anything about a Cote party it's far from controlled. Anyways it was a blast spending some time with the fellas especially with the fact that I won't see a lot of them as they will be away back home and me staying here in Vic doing whatever I do. I'll try to get my .... together soon, I promise.

Alright now my opinion of the day since I have so much time on my hands that I have come up with the idea that people with too much on their hands come up with some stupid ideas. So I do believe a lot of journalists don't go out and their and find real news but instead form their opinions on news that is so saturated as it is. On that note though, I have way too much time on my hands. Therefore here is my thoughts, imagine for a second sports coverage as of today. To the average television viewer it's filled with the normal hoopla of what's hot in the professional sports. That average watcher may also say that today's sports are probably filled with the most athletic and fit athletes ever known. (May it be from good genetics or some type of "cream" leaves to be debated) Unfortunately, this is where the article may get slanted and therefore be subject to some comments which would be very nicely welcomed. This next generation of athletes seem to be predominatlely of the non-caucasian race. With the ideas of racism being thrown out of the window right away considering the author of this article is black. With this rise of black athleticism, it's surprising to see the rise in sports such as billiards, golf and my favourtie poker. Before the NHLPA strike the caucasian race had one guaranteed sport that they dominated in numbers however with the strike it left a majority without a majority to watch. Thus we got a rise in some sports which really aren't sports as it is. If you look back a golf channel was created before the NBA, and NFL channels could even get off the ground. But I guess when you have the money you will pay to see what you want. The money put into golf or poker orientated products is almost matching the ones associated with the mainstream professional sports considering the pros have had a few decades to work on their marketing. Now it maybe these sports seem to be so popular as they are just gateways of giving middle aged men the possibility that may one day still be the top story on sportscenter and not just as one of the fans but as an "athlete". Well with the NHL back on track, let the rearranging of sports coverage begin once again and who knows maybe those star card sharks still have a spot on primetime.
