At least its been a fast week so far, and the weekend is right around the corner.
For a look into Sports this week, the NFL Season kicks off with the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints tomorrow night. Im looking forward to watching the game as I'm sure most of any sports fan is. The Pack are four point favorites over the Saints tomorrow night, rightfully earned as they are the defending SB Champions.
As for the NHL, Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby met with the media along side General Manager Ray Shero and his two doctors. Sidney was quoted saying he has thought about the consequences of this injury and as to whether he said it affected the whole idea of retirement, well it could in the long run but as for now, hes still going to keep working everyday to get better. But he says he feels very "fortunate" to be were he is today. Dont count on Sid to be packing up his locker any time soon, although the disappointment has seem to hit many Penguins fans in regards to whether or not he laces them up for training camp. Remains to be seen. Personally, I would rather see Sid sit out two years before ever considering retirement. But for now, we will wait and see what goes on in the coming weeks and when we will see Crosby pack on the ice full time.
Enjoy your night, see you tomorrow in class.

Quote of the day:
That Green Bay and New Orleans game will be very very interesting. Even though I am not a fan of either team... I think the Saints will win 23-20 (win by 3). By the way GO STEELERS!!!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I was at the game when I seen Sid get his second concussion; It was the game against Tampa Bay. Ive never seen a concussion last this long. In my opinion for as much as I love Sid, I think he just needs to man up and play. Haha! but play only a certain amount of minutes for sure.
Nice touch with the John Wooden quote. Truly the greatest coach and greatest motivator this year.
ReplyDeleteGreen Bay and New Orleans might be the first time an opening game for the NFL will actually be competitive. This is gonna be a great game.
The Thursday night game Packers vs. Saints was a great NFL season opener. Lots of excitement and scoring and really kept me intrigued in the game. I am curious how the ratings compared to previous years. Also I was suprised the Saints were able to stay up with the Packers and give themselves a great shot at the final minutes of the game.
ReplyDeleteAs for Crosby, I can't believe he has been out for so long with just a concussion. It seems like NFL athletes get concussions and sit out no more than three weeks and they are ready to hit. I would also like to see the hit that knocked Crosby out.
