Captain Spends Last Moments With Wife via SKYPE

Three days ago, Captain Bruce Kevin Clark was stationed in Afghanistan skyping his wife, Susan Orellana Clark, all the way back home in Rochester, NY.  While in mid-conversation, Susan noticed his husband to be startled and then fall over.  She was very worried about his condition until she saw a bullet hole in the closet behind him.  She was devastated when she noticed this, then knowing of her husband's condition.  Reporters say investigation is still going on, and have recently found out that the incident was not a result of combat or suicide.

I think this is a terrible tragedy.  That has to be the absolute words watching a loved one die and especially be a assassinated.  I never wish this upon anyone and hope to never encounter it in any way.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the Clark family and to all the medical staff still investigating on this case.

Amare gets Extinguished??

After a bad game two of the playoffs between the Miami Heat and New York Knicks, the Knicks center Amare Stoudemire was rushed by paramedics after punching the glass to a fire extinguisher.  He had to have immediate surgery to fix his hand, and to have any chance of playing again this year.

Amare looked like a complete idiot when he did this!  Glass vs. skin...Glass wins!! What was he thinking?? I didn't see a fire in the building.  Leave the extinguisher alone and get back to the locker room to recap on what went wrong, and what you can fix to win the next one!  It was only the second loss.  He was not thinking when he did this.  Come on Amare!!

Tan Much?

A New Jersey mother, who is addicted to tanning, was charged with second degree child endangerment after she was accused of taking her young, fair skin daughter tanning.

I think this lady is nuts! Look at her, she's addicted to the tanning bed and I don't think she would think twice about taking her young daughter tanning.  I think she will be guilty and have her daughter taken away or something of that matter.

Eron Gordon rising above big brother's shadow?

Eron Gordon is an eighth grader in Indiana and is brother to NBA star, Eric Gordon.  Eron is a very talented basketball star and is getting in the news because of it.  He has already picked up offers from some big name schools including his brother's Alma Mater, Indiana.  Some other schools that are interested are Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Xavier, and Ohio State.

Here's a link to learn more about the young star:

This is definitely a story I will be paying close attention to in the upcoming years.  I also want to get out and see the little fella.  He has to be phenomenal if he already has these offers from these Big Ten schools.  I personally hope he chooses Indiana because that's where his brother went and I am an IU fan!!

IU ranked #1 in preseason rankings

I am absolutely thrilled to see next year's IU's men's basketball team play.  After a season like this, and with all the recruits and returning players, next season is shaping up to be a good one!

IU has always been my favorite basketball team and I'm excited to see what they can do next year with the incoming freshman and all the major experience coming back.  With Cody Zeller staying, we return our top scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker.  It will also be funny to see how many people hop on the bang-wagon!

Dwight Howard "bigger" than management?

In the past week, there have been reports from the Orlando Magic that Dwight Howard has asked for his coach, Stan Van Gundy, to be fired.

I think Dwight needs to keep his mouth shut and worry about his play.  Players that make this amount of money think they can say whatever.  They can't! Just play the game that you were blessed with the amazing talent to play.  Dwight is already in the spotlight enough for his trade talk.  He should just focus on helping his team win games.   

Where will Peyton sign?

We've been talking about where our hero Peyton might be going.  Here's a link to more news about this:

I personally would like to see him go to the 49ners because they have a young, very talented team.  He could go in there and have a lot of success right away.  But above all this, it is very sad to see him go.
