deion speaking about sean taylor

some of you may have heard about the football player sean taylor being shot and dieing last week. he was a major topic of conversation in nfl last week and will continue to be for a least the rest of the season. i surfing the nets i found this video of deion sanders, my favorite player when i was a kid, talking about the feelings in the league and his own feelings.



i think deion really has an important point with stopping the black on black crime and that society needs to do something about it. i am not sure if the nfl network guy is dense or if it he is trying to get deion to talk - i do hope he is smarter than he sounds. another thing is, that i think deion brings some clearity to the issue of the vick scandal, his point being, people are more important than animals. i do agree with deions premise, but we as humans should never forget, that we have a great responsibility to show respect and protect to all of Gods creations.

snoops crazy

snoop dogg has always been eccentric, now he has made a video themed in the 70s. well made, even looks like they filmed it back then.



in other news italian players are going to be forced to show good sportsmanship (danish and english). i wonder if it should be necessary to make it a rule. it should actually just come naturally after game that you show respect to your opponents. anyways, dont forget to give some rice to people as you help your vocabulary grow (freerice.com).

getting my attention..

Sometimes there i question why i like the website FreeDarko, but when they do a post where they compare the characterization of players as either hard work/blue collar with lazy rich/bourgeois, there is really no reason for not loving them. they are awesome at finding different angles to sports than the ones that the usual sports writers find. anyone can write about some game, but finding actual themes in the sports writing on a macro level is really cool. so please dont hate on the intellectuals, instead enjoy their brilliance. read the post HERE


ps i am not going to say i understand all the concept brought to life on the blog, but i do enjoy reading it

Playoff time again...

So here I am again, it is NBA playoff time and I am again stuck in a remote part of the world and about 8 time zones away from the action. Many of you are thinking: Denmark isn't remote, is it? Well, NBA-wise it is pretty remote. All I want to do is watch Kobe go for 50 points against the Clippers in the next round, maybe see the Pistons Team kill their opponents and who wouldn't mind watching Eva Longoria cheering for Tony Parker (and the Spurs)? Thats what I want to see. After my good ol' days in Texas, with Monday, Tuesday Thursdays on TNT, I have been able to catch about one NBA game a year. Not satisfying!

This season I been keeping up with the NBA action all year, thanks to ESPN Motion (you can see the sportscenter clips for free the next day). It has been great to at least be able to see the highlights. So yeah, Denmark when are you going to start showing the NBA games, on one of the 25 cabel channels I have in my dorm?

I guess the best news right now is that the World Cup is coming up. Even without Denmark it is going to rock!

If you are wondering who I support, all I am going to say is that my favorite player scored 81 points in four quarters...
