Monday night football Pats and Saints



As I sit here watching the football game I am surprised at the way the game has begun. Both teams have scored on their opening drives. The Saints were touched by the angels on a short field goal that bounced off the upright. Immediately after that drive the Pats came back with a long drive for a touchdown. Laurence Maroney ran the ball like he was on a mission and that drive ended with him in the end zone!

After an unsuccessful drive the Saints kicked it off to the Pats and Wes Welker took the ball and ran like the old commercial that depicted OJ Simpson back in the 80's. He ended up at the 50. The Saints Defence just picked off the ball at mid field. running through the airport.
This is going to be a great game.
Remember how I said that Laurence was running? Well Pierre Thomas has his mind set on punishing the Patriots! This guy is running hard as well. At this time the score is 7 to 3 Pats.
4th and 1 at the 20 for the Saints and they go for it. And they got it! This game is being fought real hard on both sides.
At the 20, screen pass by Drew Brees to Thomas and he gets in the end zone Touch Down!!!!!! 10-7 Saints. This is going to be a very entertaining football game, Both Coaches have gone for it on 4th and short successfully and both teams have found the end zone. One thing that is obvious these teams are at a different level than most of the teams in the NFL. There haven't been any penalties to this point.
Touch down Saints! Devery Henderson just got behind the DB's and the Safety and completed a 70 yard touchdown pass.
OMG LAurence Marony just trucked a linebacker for a 10 yrd run.
Just like clock work Tom Bradey is moving the Pats down the field, this guy is really good. Wow we just received our first penalty flag in the game at the 6:16 mark in the second quarter.





Field goal by the Pats gives us a score of 17-10 Saints in the lead with the ball. They have 4 minutes left in the 1st half and Drew Brees gets an opportunity to get some more points on the board.
Touchdown Drew Brees to Robert Meachem on a 35 yrd pass play. There is 1:50 in the 1st half and the Saints lead the Pats 24 -10 Bradey has the ball working the two minute drill. So far the Pats haven't been able to do anything in the two minute drill there are 23 seconds left and still no score, they lined up for a long field goal with no success. the 1st half looks like it will end with the Saints up 24-10.




Ok the second half has started and it looks like the Saints broke out a fresh can of Whoop -- out on the Pats. Just to state what the second half was like in my best description, Beat down! The Pats couldn't stop the Saints offence, Drew Brees ended the game with a perfect passing rating of 158.3 he completed 18 out of 23 passes for 371 yards. The final score was 38-17 Saints and Coach Bill will probably go home and kick his dog at the performance of his team.
In conclusion we have seen the Saints up against the last team that went 11-0 and they performed admirably in a dominating show of passing/ running/ and catching efficiency.
I wonder how far they will go? All we can do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

Tiger Woods Car accident

On Friday around 2:25 am Tiger Woods was in a 1 car accident in his driveway. At first this was just a small story until the media got ahold of it and then the frenzy ensued.
The Back window was shattered and the story is that his wife pulled him out of the car and was taking care of him when the paramedics showed up. This story has grown legs and it's running like Jessie Owens in the Olympics.
Tiger tried to depart his home in a gated community outside of Orlando and managed an almost impossible driving trajectory – a 120-degree turn – and wound up hitting a fire hydrant and a neighbor’s tree.
Of course Tiger is fine but the media has questions and they are demanding answers. The police department has gone to Tigers community to ask him a few questions to no avail, they can't get any information from him. Come on now, you know that Tiger's rep was at his side shortly after this thing came to light and he was informed that all he should do is give a statement and leave it at that. Well Tiger gave his statement:
“The only person responsible for the accident is me,” the statement read. “My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble.
“This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
The rumors of an extra marital affair starting this whole drama are being cycled throughout the sports world and on the Internet. I don't know the truth to the allegations but it is a little fishy that the story broke the day before the accident and he had the car trouble the following morning.
As more and more reports come to light about that night more and more questions are being asked. There was no blood found on the steering wheel of the car and that in itself has cast some doubt on the story.
I personally Love the fact that Tiger is the best golfer in our era It gives my son a role model to strive for. Because of Tigers achievements every child of every color can dream to be the best in their field and that part is wonderful. The down side of the fame is that everything that happens in your life becomes part of the spectacle and could potentially be blown out of proportion.
I hope this thing passes for Tiger and his life will move on from this point. What do you think?

TVI EXPRESS Scam or Gold mine

TVI EXPRESS is a new network marketing company that has recently come to the U.S and due to it's promises it has generated a wave of both detractors and enthusiasts. They reported that they are based out of the UK and that in itself has caused many to be sceptical.

Travel Ventures International is a leading multinational conglomerate headquartered in London, United Kingdom. their phone number is +44-2032899918 according to the official website.

They state that you will be able to get a $250.00-$275.00 vacation package upon joining and that will include 7 days and 6 nights at a 3-5 star hotel. they further explain that you can receive $500.00 and then $10,000 after referring people to the business. I read many different reports from people who had no experience with the company and only wanted to state how bad it was to people who had had some success with the company and were on their way to receiving their $10,000 and were pleased with the company. one report broke down the way they could make the money to pay out the 10k.
It takes 8 positions on the 1st level for the Travel Board to split (8 X $250=$2000)The board has to split 4 times before you get off the top and move on to the Express Board, unless you jump over someone 1st. ($2000x4=$8000)There are 19 top positions (from Travel Boards) feeding into the express board over me, but there are only 15 positions needed to fill the Express Board and 8 positions are needed to fill the 1st level of it before it splits. That being said, there only needs to be 8 positions taken from the 19 top Travel Board positions. Now do the math... $8000 X 8=$64.000 and that's with the Travel Board splitting one time! Remember, it has to split 4 times before you make it off the top and get paid. And also remember, there are 19 top Travel Board positions feeding into the Express Board which only needs 15 positions to fill it. You see, there's more than enough money for all of the payouts and bonuses.
It seems that this company is new to this market and has yet to really pay out.

This is a network Marketing company and they make their money by getting people to spread the word on their company while paying $250.00 to get in and become a travel team member.
My conclusion in this matter is basicly wait and see. I will sign on and see for myself if this is a real Network Marketing opportunity or if it is a scam. I will use this blog to chart my success or utter failure.

Allen Iverson Retires

When I first heard the news that Allen Iverson was retiring from basketball my first reaction was "no way ", Not the greatest scoring guard under six feet this era has seen since Tiny!
Allen Iverson has captured the hearts of millions of fans over the years by defying the unwritten rule that basketball is for only big men.
Iverson, 34, announced Wednesday that he was retiring after 13 full seasons in the NBA.
After all of the great games in a career that isn't over the Answer calls it quits.

"I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level. But stepping away from the game would allow me to spend quality time with my wife and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I've ever achieved on the basketball court."
This came after he was told by many of his critics that he can no longer do it. The truth is that he has lost a step and that is to be expected but he still has it within himself to be a great guard for a contending team. Only pride and stubbornness have gotten in his way. Allen doesn't want to be a player coming off the bench! He wants to start and with his level of play diminishing and his speed leaving him he can no longer claim that right.
If he did choose to accept the role of a 6th man he could extend his career by 3 to five years and possibly get on a team that is contending for a title. I think ending his career this way is a mistake and he will regret it.

What is the one gift you will look for this year?

This is the season of giving and many of us are going to exchange gifts for the Holidays. It may only be a hug, great company, Lap Top or even a diamond ring. I know in my home we are giving the kids gifts that will help with their education. What are you going to give your loved ones? What are you hoping to receive? Do tell........

What are you doing for the Holiday?

It's that time of year when we all gravitate towards family and we have one of two different reactions. We are either very excited or we are depressed. Now depending on your family structure you may be experiencing both emotions or none. What I would like to discuss is the plans you have. Are you going to get on the road and see family or are you going to stay at home and celebrate with your friends. What part of the Holiday season you you like most? What part can you do without?

Are you tired of Network marketing

I have been dealing with different Network Marketing systems for many years with different levels of success. I tried Amway, Quickstar, Herbal Life, Prepaid legal, Agel and many more . I think the most success I was able to have was with Agel. I was curios if anyone else has had similar experiences with Network Marketing? I know a few people were able to pay some bills with it but like everything it has its season and soon it is time for it to move on. So tell me your experiences good and bad with Network Marketing.
