Ochocinco is fined again

   Once again Chad Ochocinco is fined 25,000 for tweeting during the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles on August 20th. NFL players are not allowed to post any messages on social media websites 90 minutes before kickoff & until post game media obligations are fulfilled. Everybody know Chad loves the attention and he brands himself very well. In fact, after he was fined he apologized stating "I've been fined by the league a substantial amount of money for tweeting, 1st time twitter hasn't made me money but cost me money," he wrote. Also, ""Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 months of Bugatti payments you just took from me,I won't do it again,"

Let's see if this behavior will roll over to the regular season

The Prima Donna Is Back

 After stating once again that he is completely done with Football, Brett Favre decides to rejoin the team again to put aside his latest brush with retirement. He said he opted to play a 20th NFL season because he felt he owed his teammates "one more try" at a Super Bowl title. I must say that his behavior is absurd and unprofessional. Not only do I blame him, but I also blame the organization of Minnesota for allowing this behavior to happen. . The three Vikings players had visited Favre late Monday and Tuesday at the quarterback's home in Mississippi and convinced him to play. To make matters worse The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the Vikings are prepared to increase Favre's salary for this season from $13 million to $16.5 million. I wonder how the back up QB's are feeling. Brett Favre seems to be selfish and avoids pre-season just to play during the regular season. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.

Shaq Is In The Mean Green

  This past Tuesday morning Shaq was introuded as the new member of the Boston Celtics. The main reason why he decided to join forces with the Celtics is to add more championships before his retirement. Can it happen? Definitely, Shaq is aware of his role and is prepared to play anywhere from 20-25 minutes. Originally, Shaw hit the free agent market seeking a two-year deal worth a reported $8 million to $10 million a season. The Celtics expressed an interest -- though not at that price -- and general manager Danny Ainge moved on to pursue other options. O'neal finally came around and his agent called him stating he is ready to play. Shaq definitely feels confident and with having a big guy in the middle can definitely help dominate the middle. Everybody ask Shaq about nicknames, O'Neal said he liked the Big Shamrock but was also partial to the Big Green Mile.

Brett Favre Is Set To Retire

    In most recent news, Brett Favre has informed the Vikings he will not return to Minnesota for a second season. Favre has sent text messages to teammates saying, "This is it," according to several sources. It has not been confirmed as of yet but it definitely may happen. With Favre, of course, nothing is ever necessarily final after 19 NFL seasons. He told the Vikings last year he wouldn't play, but changed his mind and joined them immediately after they broke training camp, with Childress even driving to the airport to pick him up. Camp this year ends on Aug. 12. He had one of his best seasons last year, with career bests in completion percentage (68.4), quarterback rating (107.2) and fewest interceptions (7), while throwing for 33 TDs and 4,202 yards to lead the Vikings to an NFC North title. He hurt his left ankle in the NFC Championship Game loss to the New Orleans Saints and had arthroscopic surgery in May.

If Favre decides to actually retire for good, it will end one of the most storied careers in NFL history.




A three-time league MVP (1995-97), Favre won Super Bowl XXXI with the Packers. His 11 Pro Bowl appearances are the most ever by a quarterback.



Indeed, Favre holds most major NFL records for a quarterback, including career touchdowns (497), yards passing (69,329); wins (181); and seasons with at least 3,000 yards passing (18).

R.I.P To George Steinbrenner

  It's definitely a sad day in the sports world as we lose another icon. Steinbrenner had a heart attack, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Fla., and died at about 6:30 a.m. ET, according to multiple reports. George built the Yankees from ground up. In fact, in 37-plus seasons as owner, Steinbrenner led the Yankees to seven World Series championships, 11 American League pennants and 16 AL East titles. He changed the game of the franchise by starting his own television network and ballpark food company. Forbes now values the Yankees at $1.6 billion, trailing only Manchester United ($1.8 billion) and the Dallas Cowboys ($1.65 billion).The Steinbrenner family said that funeral arrangements will be private; however, details about an additional public service will be announced at a later date. He is gone but he will not be forgotten at all. R.I.P to a legend

Amare Reaches New Deal In A New Place

 While all the speculation is involved in LeBron, Dwayne & Chris Bosh the show must go on and it has with New York reaching an agreement Monday with free agent Amare Stoudemire. The All-Star forward will receive a five-year, $99.7 million contract that will reunite him with coach Mike D'Antoni. Amare is excited about his new deal and already stated that he is going to attempt to recruit LeBron over to New York. The Knicks believe they are still in the hunt for James,but Sunday night's news that James planned to delay making a decision until Wednesday or Thursday helped force their hand in regards to Stoudemire. With this deal taking place it effectively removed the Knicks from the pursuit of Chris Bosh, and it significantly reduced the chances of David Lee returning to New York. However, the Knicks could still use Lee in a sign-and-trade deal if they miss out on James and Wade, but Lee could choose to take a five-year offer from another team between now and Thursday. Stoudemire had spent his entire career in Phoenix, where he played under D'Antoni before the coach came to New York in 2008. Stoudemire averaged more than 20 points in every season they were together and immediately becomes the best player D'Antoni has coached since leaving the Suns after the 2007-08 season. At this point they have their fingers crossed to see if they can also have LeBron join their organization.

Let The Talk Begin!!!!!!!

 Ladies and gentlemen let the talk begin. Nets billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov, rap mogul Jay-Z, coach Avery Johnson and other team officials spent more than 90 minutes making a presentation on Thursday to James, the two-time MVP and budding global icon who became the most celebrated free agent in history at 12:01 a.m. The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers are expected to meet with James on Friday, with the Chicago Bulls and Cavaliers scheduled to visit with him Saturday. Cleveland's hoping that James' loyalty to home will keep him in Ohio. The team gave him something to consider as free agency opened by offering Byron Scott their coaching job. Scott's agent, Brian McInerney, told the AP that Scott has accepted the position. It's definitely exciting to see teams offer their presentations and history on free agents that they are trying to lure in. In one week history will be made and we shall see what happens
