One Word Loyalty!

I was just reading about an article online about my favorite NFL football team. The story goes something like this. During the 2009 NFL Draft the Minnesota Vikings drafted Nick Urban, who was a former standout lineman at Winona State. Being drafted by a NFL team is a dream come true for anyone in the sport. So when he got word that the Minnesota Vikings had drafted him he got excited, and then but on his Target shirt and went to work. That’s right, he will be signing a contract for a huge amount of money and he headed off to do his part time job at Target. He stated that the reason he went to work because his bosses worked around his schedule to get ready for the NFL. He also stated that he wasn’t going to leave them high and dry, he wasn’t raised that way. The Vikings should draft more people like him, people who work hard and have loyalty.

Only The Rich!

Did all of you know that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donate Stallworth was convicted of DUI manslaughter? And did you know that he only spent like 30 days behinds bars for it? I think is also lost his drivers licenses, not sure though. He also paid the family off of the man he killed because of his wide partying. It just comes to show that if you got the money you can get a way with just about anything. It’s kind of funny how our legal system works isn’t it. Mike Vick got caught and did a few years behind bars for dog fighting, as well as killing a few dogs. Stallworth kills a hard working family man and he gets 30 days in jail. This is so wrong, he should have gotten the max. But if you got the money and the right lawyer you can do what ever you want.

Making Changes!

It seems that there are a few changes coming about within the Bills. And here’s the surprise, Terrell Owens is getting cut, not really a surprise is it, or is it. He did manage to stay out of trouble for a year, so why cut him? I think the Bills are doing this because T.O. gets in trouble during season 2 with his new team. Now this hasn’t been verified yet, but insiders at the Bills camp say it’s coming. T.O. is a huge problem for any team, and the likelihood of him being picked up by another team is slim, but the Ravens have been asking questions. As good as T.O. is, his career just might be over if he does get cut. And I really don’t think any other team will pick him up, been wrong about that before thought. If he wasn’t always such a trouble maker he could have been one of the best whoever played the game, it’s a shame.

Rookie Of The Year!

Percy Harvin takes this years Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. And he comes from my number 1 team, the Minnesota Vikings. He has a huge role on the Vikes. He’s a wide receiver/kick returner, and even used as a running back. In the balloting he received 41 votes from the nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. He was drafted in the 1st round of the 2009 draft. He won this award because he had 60 receptions for 790 yards with 6 touchdowns. He also carried the ball for 15 times for 135 yards, and returned 42 kickoffs for 1,156 yards. Over all he was the best Rookie this year. He also set the Minnesota’s single-season franchise record for all-purpose yardage with 2,081, he’s an amazing player. Everything he’s done will mean nothing if the Vikes don’t win the Championship.
