Nascar Day

We need to make the Monday after the season a holiday. Lets call that Monday "Nascar Day". After having a late start and wanting to have a few beverages the last thing I want to do is go to work on Monday. :)

NFL Package Stinks

Why I won't renew my direct TV NFL package

Right now I am not a happy camper! I was watching the game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles. Since the Giants played last night they made the game a national game.
That is all fine with me but since I have the NFL Direct TV package I am forced to watch it on Fox. At halftime they switched the game to the Denver Broncos - San Francisco 49ers game. I can't even go to the 700 channels to watch the game as it is local and blocked out for me.

The only reason I have direct TV is for the football package. To me this is unacceptable and I won't stand for it. I am a season ticket holder and I want to see my team play when I can't go to the game. It is not much to ask especially when I have to pay 200.00 to see half the games.

Why they can't undo the local block on the NFL package stations is beyond me. I just bought a new LCD TV just for NFL games and here I am stuck watching a lousy NFC team and the Denver Broncos who I can't stand. I don't care if they make the playoffs as I don't give a hoot about AFC football teams.

This is just wrong to screw people that pay good money to watch football games that they pay for in the first place. I may even cancel my Direct tv altogther.

Most Popular Christmas Sellers

Well Christmas buying season has started. I am noticing a few items that are popular being sold. So far this year there have been a lot of orders for Kansas City Chiefs watches and Jimmie Johnson Hats.

I guess with Jimmie Johnson winning the Nextel Cup in Nascar he has made some new fans. There is still a lot of people ordering Dale Jr. stuff as well. His popularity will never fade.

To see some of this stuff I recommend going top the Sports-gift.com main page and using the drop down box on the right select the team or driver you are looking for.

Portis sidelined by shoulder injury - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

You guys should know how much I hate preseason NFL games. Besides having to pay for these seats at meaningless games you also have the risk of injury to star players Portis sidelined by shoulder injury - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I don't know when the NFL is going to stop these games but they should take a look at it. No one likes these games the players hate them and the fans hate them. Imagine the uproar if MLB started to charge full price for spring season games. I know that's another story and there is risk in spring training games also.

Most NFL coaches will tell you they can't get a good look at younger players trying to make the roster spot unless they are in game conditions I think this is just a bunch of bull. I watched a scrimmage last week on the NFL network where the Green Bay Packers played against themselves. This is done in practice conditions but who cares. It gets the job done when evaluating players in game conditions.

World Cup Soccer

I just got finished watching the World Cup soccer game between Italy and the United States and it was a good game. I missed the beginning of it and picked up the game as the USA players started to play short handed. In a strange way it reminded me of the 1980 Olympic hockey team. They were playing 10 guys against 9 and the underdog USA team still managed a tie over a more favored Italian team.

I normally don't watch Soccer that often but I could not turn my TV off the channel even though there was a Yankee game and a Nascar truck race on at the same time.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be happy while watching soccer but I was.
