Fans Push For Change

Fans Push For Change!

The fans of the Buffalo Bills are starting to show that their unhappy. And one fan is showing his disbelief by purchasing an ad in Buffalo N.Y over looking 190. The digital billboard will flash on over 3000 times a day, stating “It’s time to clean house, RALPH,” plus asking Wilson to terminate Head Coach Jauron; the team’s chief college scout Tom Modrak; and vice president of pro personnel John Guy. What I found hard to believe was that the money raised was by a 18 year old fan, with no job. The ad is going to cost him $1402. If he stays on top of this he could raise even more money to keep the ad up. I think that this is a great idea, every fan should show how they feel, we need to stick together.

Vikings Win

Vikings Win!

What a game this was. I was on my chair the whole game. There wasn’t a boring time at all. I thought for sure the Viking defense was going to lose it for the Vikings. I truly believed that the Vikings were going to blow it, but they pulled off the win, 23 to 30. I shouldn’t say the whole defense, the secondary struggles. The Vikings front is unbelievable, no one can have a run game against them. My man, Viking Jared Allen had 4 ½ sacks, 2 force fumbles, and a safety. It seemed that no one was able to stop him, he was busting through the line on every play. I don’t think he slowed down at all. And lets not forget what Brett Favre did in this game, he played a great game. He had no turnovers, the front line gave up no sacks, and he threw for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns. And also worth noting, Brett Favre is the first quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 NFL teams. I can’t remember the last time the Vikings started 4-0. Anyway, Favre finally got his win against his old team of 15 years. He down played the week, but you know he wanted to beat the Packers very badly. This is a great start to the year, I just hope they keep it going.

First MLB Ejection

First MLB Ejection!

For the first time in his baseball career Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was ejected from yesterdays game. He was arguing a called 3rd strike. But was he arguing, or was he just show home plate umpire where the ball was? Suzuki just simply drew a line with his bat to show the umpire where the ball was when he called the 3rd strike. But the umpire wasn‘t happy about it and tossed him right away. Suzuki doesn‘t argue with anyone, so this is a surprise to a lot. Suzuki is also one of the greatest hitters in MLB. He’s only been in the league for 9 years, and has hit more than 200 hits each of those years, which is a record. Before he played here in the US, he played in Japan for 9 years. So in the last 18 years he’s never been tossed from a game. I think the umpire should feel like crap for tossing him, he was just showing him where the ball crossed over.

The Jet Fan

The Jet Fan!

Here’s some pretty good news coming out of the New York Jets camp. The Jets decided to give one of their #1 fans a game ball after they beat the New England Patriots. Jets Head coach Rex Ryan presented the ball during the teams Friday meeting. The ball was given to Ed Anzalone, a New York City firefighter for getting the crowed pump to rattle Tom Brady during the game. Ryan considers the fans, Jet Fans help the stay alive and win the game. This is the first time in NFL history a fan was given a game ball for keeping the crowd involved. I could be wrong about my last statement, but I’ve never heard or read this happening before. So I say way to go Jets, after all it’s the fan that keep things going.

Here’s a side note “Anzalone was included in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Hall of Fans in 1999.”
