Wow, Its been a while. Apologies for my absence, I have been so busy with school work, finishing my second practicum and work has taken me away from Gentile Sports. But, on a positive note I'm back and for the rest of the month and include all updates and information for the NFL. I'll update you a little bit on my fantasy football team, we are four and four, a bit disappointing to say the least. Wes Welker was shut down this past weekend by the Steelers, what a victory for them! Great win for the city and the team. Whats going on with Peyton Hillis? I'll give you my opinion, this guy is one of those one hit wonders, comes around every so often has an amazing year then slowly fades away. Some how he got the cover of Madden 2012 this year too? What a joke.
He came up with a sickness excuse early in the season and there was speculation that it was linked to his arguments with the Browns front office and not extending his contract. Ironic though, Buffalo Bills Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick just got a major deal worth sixty million dollars. Totally disagree with this move by the Bills, Fitz fits well in the system but he has not won anything and he plays in the AFC East which is won every year by the Patriots. We will have to see how that plays out for the Bills organization.
What else is important in the NFL right now. Oh yeah, how could I forget, the thousand injuries that have plagued the league this season, especially for running backs. (killing my fantasy team by the way). It's not lookin good for Beanie Wells who apparently has serious concern about his knee, Chris is known for being injury prone the last few seasons and this would be a major blow to the Cardinals offense as it does not seem that Kevin Kolb is the one hit wonder he was in Philadelphia. We all know how that worked out right? Guy by the name of Mike Vick shipped him out real quick.
Check back later for more fantasy updates and Week 9 News for the NFL.
If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.

This Week in the NFL
Hello Everyone,
Another week is in the books in the NFL, most impressive thus far is Tom Brady. Early favorite to repeat as the MVP, with combining for over nine-hundred yards passing in two games. Also, Panthers rookie Quarterback and former Heisman winner, Cam Newton who has been absolutely on fire despite his three thrown interceptions in this weeks performance against the Packers.
Not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed with the Eagles performance defensively when Mike Vick went out with a concussion injury. It looked like the Eagles were going to run away with that victory after the ten point lead but never count out Matt Ryan at home were has has compiled a host of final quarter comeback victories since coming onto the scene in Atlanta.
My fantasy team picked up this week, with Peyton Hills, Matt Ryan, Jahvid Best and Rob Gronkowski carrying the load for my team, scoring me over 200+ points in week two. This all after a tough week one three point loss to Steve Cramer's "Tebow Knows" team.
Major injuries have struck the league with Kansas City star running back Jamaal Charles being deemed out for the year with a torn ACL. How about Romo's gutsy performance in Dalls. I'm still not a believer until he does something in the playoffs, but I give him credit for his great play in that game after suffering a cracked rib and punctured lung. Many wondering when the doctors will release whether or not the status of Vick's concussion will put him in doubt for week three, but I expect him to be in there.
Anything else, i'll update this week. Enjoy the day.

Good morning Guys
Sorry for my absence the last couple of days, but I hope everything is going well. On the topic of Sport, the NFL kicked off this weekend during a heartfelt day in our country. Obviously this day was 9/11, the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Thankfully, everything went smoothly and there was no other terroristic acts that took place during the weekend.
I will continue to keep you guys posted on special olympic information in the coming days.

Gentile Sports Issue #2
Whats up guys.
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.

Introduction
Good Morning,
My name is Patrick Gentile and you are currently reading my blog. First off, Welcome. I am a Junior Sport Management Major here at SRU. I am from the South Hills in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, a small town called Brentwood. Graduated in 2008 and played Golf, Baseball and Basketball throughout high school. I continued to pursue my golf career at Thiel College after graduation but it was short lived as I transfered to SRU the following year. My major career goal is to be the General Manager of a Professional Sports team. I am currently working on the Event Management team here at SRU for a practicum and just previously completed an internship (practicum) with an Athletic Director over the summer. Every time I post on my blog I will leave with a little bit of inspiration with a quote of the day. Enjoy the week, see you soon.
