Pre-Season Football? For What?

I was watching my favorite football team , the Bengals, play one of their preseason game last week, when all i kept seeing was all of the Bengal starters keep going down. I had always wondered why they even bother taking the risk sending out starters. I understand that they everyone wants to get their timing up to game speed, but it seemed like every single play another starter went down. It was very pain full for me to watch the game, because all these players were getting hurt, and i just kept thinking to my self, the season getting worse and worse. Some big name players opt to not play in these pre season games, and I'm happy to see they are aware of the risk involved. Like LT, probably the best player in the NFL. He goes to camp and practice, but refuses to play in any pre season game.

With football being such a physical game, there is a risk of getting injured every time someone steps out onto the field. It happens to so many players, and so many teams are hurt because they lose key players for given periods of time. This is why i have always wondered if the NFL had ever given any thought to getting rid of the pre-season. I don't think it could ever happen, but i think it should be looked at carefully.

it took 3 injuries for the head coach Marvin Lewis to remove the majority of the starters from the ballgame. I would think that after one injury, he would not want top continue with the risk of the rest of his starters. So know i will have to sit through one more week of pre-season football, crossing my fingers and praying that no one else on the Bengals gets hurt, so we can make our run to the playoffs, behind Carson, rudi and ocho cinco.

Who Let the Dogs Out on Michael Vick?

For people to interject the race card into the dogfighting picture in defense of Vick is crazy. The federal court should give the maximum sentence permitted by law. To impose anything less would be a fiasco, regardless of the sentence coming from a plea agreement worked in part to Vick's ultimate advantage of what would be a loss before a jury and a longer sentence. If Vick did the crime, Vick does the time.

This crime Vick and posse committed was evil. As a professional sports figure he needs to behave. What a shame for all the kids who looked up to him, especially those who have dogs and puppies. Animal cruelty often represents deeper underlying issues, so who knows what Vick may have graduated to if he wouldn't have been caught doing this.

Who knows what the future holds for mike Vick, in regards to jail time and his NFL career, hopefully the justice system will work how it is suppose to. I am curious to see what will mike Vick to after his jail time, what will happen to his NFL career? I am very interested to see what will be announced in regards to Michael Vick's jail sentence and NFL career.

Has time run out for the yankees?

It is not a frequent feeling for most new york Yankees fans, and a lot more frequent for Boston Red Sox fans. But this August, feelings in the Bronx, are not about how the Yankees will be able to get past the dreaded angels, but in fact, if there will be any post season for the New York Yankees, the most legendary franchise in all of sports. About this time red sox fans are asking themselves why they bother trying top compete. And for the Yankees the post season is a given. Not this year, time is running out for the yanks and there is not sign of catching the sox. but deep down as a new york city native, i know the Yankee magic will somehow come alive and there will be a post season for the Yankees. The wild card is there for the taking, and even though i cant stand to not win the pennant, you have to be in it to win it. So as the yanks and the sox battle on throughout September, Yankee and sox fans will have to switch their roles, and will find themselves in a different situation then they have ever been in before.
