NFL Quarterback and their Teams

I am posting these few football teams and their quarterbacks for me to remember their names with their teams. My husband always bragged around how many quarterbacks I know, and the truth is, I sometimes forgot their names. He is somehow happy that for some extent, I am showing a little interest in football. Him and almost all the men in the family are into football that he owned Sunday afternoon during football season.

Here then, are the quarterbacks and their respective team:
Detroit Lions - Matthew Stafford
New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees
Dallas Cowboys - Tony Romo
Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rodgers
New York Giants - Manning
Indianapolis Colts - Manning

May the best team win, but my husband would love to have Lion win this season. :)

Miracle Happened to Philadelphia Eagles

Hi Everyone! How is your Sunday going? I am having a great Sunday. We had a wonderful and fabulous Christmas presentation at the church followed by a hearty lunch in the conference hall with the purpose of having fellowship with each other, too. That was really one blessed Sunday to us.
.
At home, I was busy wrapping Christmas gifts, while my husband was watching his favorite sports which is the football. He was watching Philadelphia Eagles versus New York Giants. I was with him for a short while because I want to work on my knitted scarf, and at the same time watching the sport. I am good in doing both. My husband wants the Eagles to win, and it was 10(Eagles) - 24(Giants) when I decided to quit watching because it looked hopeless. I went to the guest room to resume my gift wrapping.
.
"Honey, you need to watch this," my husband called after a few minutes. I ran out to see what was going on. He made a rewind for me to able to catch up. It was not really a good one that I won't want to miss, but all of a sudden, a particular book that I am reading reminded me to do something for my husband, which is to stay, watch the entire game with my husband, become interested with the sport and share the excitement with him. There was 3 minutes and 10 second left for the game, and I figured that it will be over soon. The score became 10-31. My husband already accepted that his team would lost, but I stayed.
.
A sudden turn of fate happened. Eagles made another touchdown that turn the score into a tie, 31-31. There was a minute and 8 seconds left. "Will there be a lot of things that will happen in a minute and 8 seconds, honey?" "Oh, yeah." It was 4 seconds left, DeSean Jackson made a giant move, he soared like an eagle and made a touchdown that brought victory to Philadelphia Eagles. 36-31
.
Boy! I'm glad I stayed to see the miracle that happened to Philadelphia Eagles.

Family reunion activities

Guest post written by Clint Brown
.
As much as we love getting together and eating a ton of really great food, you can't just do that for hours and hours at a family reunion. You do have to do some other things eventually. So this year I took it upon myself to plan something for all the kids to do so that they could use up some of that energy and let the adults catch up and chat some more without being bothered.
.
I got the idea to hold a kickball game or two after everyone's lunch had settled and I convinced my two sisters to help me, which I think they also appreciated so our great aunts wouldn't corner them about being in their 20s and not being married. I downloaded some kickball rules with my clear internet and printed them out for us to take to the reunion.
.
Well, it ends up that the family kickball game was a really big hit and I've already got requests to organize another one for next year. I think a lot of the adults are even interested in participating in it.

Watching Baseball Double Headers

Thanks to Aurelio Delacruz
.
It sometimes hard to believe, but professional baseballs sometimes play double headers. If you are an avid baseball fan, this means that you are in for a long day of enjoyment. That is , if you go to both games. Personally I love baseball, but I can't always sit through back to back games, especially when you don't know how long the games will be. With as unpredictable as baseball is, its hard to estimate how long you could be watching double headers. I always make sure I give the dog extra water, and set my home security system, since I have no clue when I will be home. You never know whether the game will end early, or go into extra innings, or if it is going to rain. Prepare yourself for everything, that way you don't get caught off guard if something does come home. Double headers are fun if your crazy about baseball, and have nothing else to do for day, but when I don't want to go, I just watch it on my satellite tv from Cannon Satellite .

NFL Tailgating Is The Best

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

Tailgating is a custom and tradition that has taken place at football games for ages. I went to college at a small school in North Carolina. While we did have fun before football games and some big basketball games and other sports, I never really expierienced tailgating until I went to an NFL game.

The first one that I went to was back in the early winter of 2008. I was ate up with anticipation. I walked out of the house, made sure to set the adt home security, then headed to M & T Bank Stadium in Downtown Baltimore to watch the Ravens play my beloved Washington Redskins in a Sunday night game on NBC.

I took the Greyhound bus as it was only a 3 hour ride from my house. The station was only blocks from the stadium. I ended up tailgating with the folks from ExtremeSkins.com, the official message board of the Skins. They had everything that you wanted there. Pulled pork with two pigs, hamburgers, hot dogs, all the adult beverages that you wanted. We ate and chatted it up before we all got together and marched to the stadium. It was fun because I got to meet all the people that I had gotten to know though the message board.

It was very cold that night and unfortunately we lost the game. It was that tailgating expierience though that I will definitely not forget.

University of Michigan Basketball

Shout out to Dawn Dagostino for the guest post.
.
I love University of Michigan football, but I also love University of Michigan basketball. It is too bad that all of the attention gets taken away from the University of Michigan's basketball team, because they have a pretty good team. One of my favorite hobbies is watching University of Michigan basketball games on my Satellite TV.
.
Maybe I am biased, because I attended the University of Michigan for my undergraduate education. Since I don’t live in Michigan anymore I rely on my satellite tv Chicago to watch all the games. I just have a passion for all U of M sports. I think watching the games on television is one of the best hobbies that anyone can have. The players have true pedigree and play with passion. I also have much respect for athletes at the University of Michigan and especially the basketball players.
.
The University of Michigan is a tough school with some of the best academics in the country. It is tough for athletes to balance sports and school, but somehow they find a way to manage it. Also, the University of Michigan always encourages athletes to value their academic studies, which is something not found at many colleges.
.
U of M basketball players always bring unmatched intensity to their basketball games. I find it a thrill to watch the Michigan State and University of Michigan basketball rivalry every single year. Every year, I hope that University of Michigan will come out on top!

Spend Your Summer With Tee Time

I am glad that the issues about Tiger Woods died down… or may I say, at least it slowed down. I am a big fan of him since the beginning of his golf career, and I am happy that he is back to golfing again. I started to become interested with the sports golf during the peak of Tiger Woods’ success. Golf, according to others, is considered the most expensive sports because of all the expense that goes with it; one example is the golf shoes which were reported to be very expensive. The golf's increased popularity was attributed to Woods' presence. He was credited for dramatically increasing prize money in golf, generating interest in new audiences as the first person of African American descent to win the Masters, and for drawing the largest TV audiences in golf history.
.
Golf is one of my husband’s favorite sports. I believe that it is a good way of family bonding together, and at the same time, introducing this sport to the new generation in our family. He was looking online for an ideal place for tee times , he found this one, www.48hourteetimes.com, and they offer great service with great savings for unpremeditated golf.

Baseball Time Is Men Bonding Time

When I was still in the Philippines, I didn’t care very much with sports of any kind, maybe because there is nobody in our family that are involve in sports. I think sports were not our thing. I can rather say that most of us in our family are business minded. But when I married my husband, I get excited because all the men in my husband’s family are involved in any kind of sports. And as a form of fun, they added betting on it, exclusively around family members only. At first, I found it annoying that my husband is into this activity, but then, I realized this kind of activity made all the men in his family bond together. They meet together in one house, discuss about it, laugh about it and yeah, spend some money on it. I found out, too, that they really didn’t set the bet too high. Just enough to put sparks on their activity.
.
Talking about sports bet, my husband's family check online to get hints and lead on baseball betting , football betting and/or hockey betting. I found out that sports betting are really applicable to all kinds of sports. Please forgive my ignorance, as I said, I was not really a sports-minded person when I was still in the Philippines. During the first few times that I was watching football games, I can’t help but laughed every time a player was being knocked off. It went like that for the entire 2008 season. Then, slowly, I begin to understand the play and became interested as well. Then, after that, I get interested in baseball sports, too. Baseball game is admirably entertaining.

Spring Time Is Tee Time

Being here in Florida, these past few weeks’ news were talking a lot about the big figure in the golf sport, Tiger Woods. I am a big fan on him, and I hope that he can soon bring his life back to whole again. I started to become interested with the sports golf during the peak of Tiger Woods’ success. Golf, according to others, is considered the most expensive sports because of all the expense that goes with it; one example is the golf shoes which were reported to be very expensive.

Football As Family Bonding

Football season is over, and for those who are involved in sports bet , it is the time of either paying or collecting the bet. All the men in my husband’s family are involved in football sports betting.

I miss my parent-in-law. I have been with them for 14 months and they have been mightily good to me. If I got a job, I want to give them a gift.

Are You Ready For Snowmobiling This Winter?

My first winter experience here in Michigan was fun. I had my share of experience playing on the snow, but I know I still missed a lot of things about snow and one of them is snowmobiling. There was one time that a man came to our place with his snowmobile and I was so curious that I wanted to try but the man was in a hurry.
.
Talking about snowmobiling, let me share to you the premier snowmobile website ever; SLEDtv.org. This is very interesting! There is no other site that has a bigger or better collection of snowmobile videos or snowmobile content. All of the top riders and tuners in the country visit this website for lots and lots of information on snowmobiling, trails, tips and tricks, instructional videos, or trailers for the latest hardcore snowmobile videos. Sport fanatics? Or just curious? It is about time that you start gathering information about snowmobiling.

Football Is My Family's Fave Sport

One of the things that I have observed when I came here in Michigan was the popularity of the game football. My husband and his dad have been closely watching its every play for the entire season. Actually, it is not just them, his uncles and male cousins are into it, too. And yes, there was betting involved. I remember my husband told me about the 3 F’s of the Thanksgiving Day, and they are Family, Food and Football. That day was just an all day of watching football while enjoying the food with the family and close relatives. That was really fun! Everybody had a good time.
.
I mentioned that there was betting involved, it may sound bad but I understand it was just for family fun. Talking ‘bout betting, Docsport.com is a website that gives reviews on your favorite sports and helps which team to take your pick. Doc’s has been known as the best source for winning sports picks including, expert MLB baseball picks, football picks , hockey picks and lately, they added NBA picks, too. If you are into sports betting, too, I suggest you visit their website for more information.

PACMAN Won Again!

Ah, PACMAN won again. He is really amazing. I'm not really into sports very much but because this person has really been consistently winning every fight and that makes him awesome. One article says that Manny Pacquiao can no longer be identified as a boxer; a lethal weapon, maybe; or a destroyer missile. Whatever the definition, he is unquestionably the sport's top gun.What he did to Ricky Hatton on Saturday night, in a boxing ring at the MGM Grand Garden, before a crowd of 16,262 and millions more all over the world watching on pay-per-view, was mostly mayhem. The man from Manchester was manhandled.
.
Some of you may wonder who is this boxer and why I am featuring him. Here is a short information: Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao ( born December 17, 1978), known as Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao is a professional Filipino boxer. He is the former WBC lightweight world champion, WBC super featherweight world champion, IBF super bantamweight world champion, and WBC flyweight world champion. He has also held the Ring Magazine titles for featherweight, super featherweight, and light welterweight divisions. For his achievements, he became the first Filipino and Asian boxer to win four world titles in four different weight divisions. He is currently rated by the Ring Magazine as the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
.
Congratulations, PACMAN! MABUHAY ANG FILIPINO!

Oxygen For Sports

Doug, my cousin is an athlete. At one time, I had the chance of watching him during his training. I can’t believe at how and where he got all those energy needed during the entire training. I could have been collapsed just right after few minutes of that kind of training. Of course, their determination and dreams are the greatest factors that keep them going.
.
During their training, it is believed that a brief blast of oxygen is needed to allow you flush some of the impurities from your body, clear your mind, and eliminate some of that sluggish feeling that many of us have. Oxygen intake has the biggest role in athletic sports performance such as; in training harder, training longer and recovering faster. The best source for sports oxygen (or oxygen for sports ) that I have found is www.oxygen4energy.com. Check on it.
