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.

Defense in the NBA All-Star Game

So a couple of weeks ago we talked about the defense in the NBA All-Star game.  There were some people for the defense that was displayed, and some people against the showing.  Here's some information on Defense in the game.

My view on the topic is that the defense this year was the correct amount for an All-Star game.  People went to see all the dunks and crazy shots.  They don't wanna see tough, fundamental shots.  That would be like a regular basketball game.  This is the All-Star game in the All-Star Weekend.  It's supposed to be fun and exciting.  In order to show that excitement and those explosive plays, there has to be little defense so the powerful, thundering dunks can happen and the deep, rain-making threes can be seen.  Plus, it is not a game to get hurt in.  When the guys get out of the way, there is less of the chance to receive an injury.  For example, this year, Dwayne Wade decided to play some hard-nose defense on Kobe Bryant for once in the game, and ended up breaking Kobe's nose AND giving him a concussion. (No pun intended) Perfect example for why there should be as little defense as possible in the NBA All-Star game.
