This is true, many people do enjoy football, and we also want to honor those who died on 9/11, yesterday we did them both.

Jets win over Dallas

Tony Romo took blame for the 27-24 loss to the Jets. This just reminds me of the multiple mistakes Romo has made and makes me wonder how much he is worth. Romo played well until the fourth quarter and late in the game had a chance to win, but threw an interception which lead to a Jets field goal for the win.

Another Manchester Win

In the September 10th game against Bolton, Manchester proved its talent once again. Their win this time was not as impressing as their 8-2 against Arsenal but a 5-0 is note worthy. All together, Manchester just has a young and surprisingly talented team.

The Tuscan Padres have been recently struggling with ticket sales over the past years. Their solution for 2012 is to lower ticket prices, dollar beer nights, etc.

Tucson Padres

The Tucson Padres are a triple-A baseball team that had their league formed 3 months before the season started. Tucson has lost 3 minor league baseball teams do to lack of fan appreciation. The Padres might be gone after the 2012 season so they are doing as much as they can to make the team more popular by starting a Facebook page, Twitter, and more season ticket opportunities.

NBA Lockout

The NBA is on the verge of jhaving no season this year if they can't to an agrrement which is redicilous because they're just going through what the NFL went through and you think they would have learned something from then and they didn't Basketball is my favorite sport and it would be a shame to not have a season this year

The NFL Lockout seems to have no impact on the NFl teams. Compared to the lockout the NBA is facing, the lockout wasn't such as a huge problem for the Teams of the NFL. The whole situation will fade away very soon. And the lockout shouldn't be an excuse for any NFl teams anymore. All teams are expected to be caught up in the near regular season.

Women's soccer: Veteran lineup poised to strike in 2011

This is pretty much about Washington Univeristy women's soccer team's returning lineup. Last year they had 1 senior and struggled. The 2011 season they have several seniors and will be a legit team. With the conference being tough, yet again, they will have to have girls stepping up.

Players Union and N.B.A. Revive Talks

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/sports/basketball/nba-and-players-union-revive-labor-talks.html?_r=1

With 5 weeks until training camps begin their still has been no agreement or optimism for an agreement among the NBA players and owners. The meeting was held with 6 negotiators and a few from the meeting had comments saying," Its not in anyones interest to know what goes on in these meetings." This was only the second meeting in two moths of this lockout. The agreement they are looking to come to is the revenue split for coaches and players. Also the salary cap for the players. Both sides remain far apart from agreement

NBA lockout

The NBA has been in lock-out for three months now and are finaly starting to converse between the union leaders and the owners. It may be like football though because it will be running into preseason training which is only three weeks away.

Manchester United

The recent week Manchester United v. Arsenal was more of an illumination of Arsenal's flaws and not Manchester United's strength. While known for thier successful history and 19 English Premier league titles, the dismal display Arsenal only served to maybe unduely emphasize Manchester United's strength. Arsenal has not been a club known for thier strong performances but this year looked different. They were able to scout better players but the recent game where the game ended with Manchester 8 and Arsenal with a dismal 2 just went to show the epic defensive flaws for the gunners. This will not be the year for the gunners and the season has yet to fully unfold showing what Manchester United brings to the table. But at first glance Manchester United will probably steam roll to the top of the premier league.
