Who says basketball is over for former Rockets player Tracy McGrady? He has just signed a one year contract to play basketball over in China. A lot of seasoned and veteran players are going over seas to play now days. This means that they are having longer careers in a sport they love. It is great to see them continue playing the game on a professional level. The average age of players leaving is relatively low and most players can still play the game, they only get booted because of the younger players that are coming in the league that are faster than them. While I don’t think a basketball career overseas should be there only backup plan it is good to see them with other options. What do you think of veteran player playing sports overseas?  Good idea or Bad?

Players Feeling Fat in new NFL uniforms from Nike

The newly designed uniforms for the NFL were designed to fit the body but the players seem to think otherwise. The lineman say that the uniforms make them look “fat”.  Yes these 300lb lineman say they make them look fat, imagine that! Not that the old ones gave them anymore room in my opinion, they look fat either way. But I guess they are entitled to look and feel good since they have to be seen on tv every sunday by millions.   we also  have to look at the positive side of this situation, which is the in shape men. The men who actually look great in their uniforms and they fit them like a glove. These new uniforms are just another layer of skin for these players. They haven’t complained about the tightly fit uniforms at all, the only ones complaining are the ones who are aware that they have bad bodies!  Well to each its own but the new uniforms are stopping us from watching the game or even judging the players differently thats for sure!

Bites the Dust: Vince Young goes for broke now that his football career is over

vinceyoung Bites the Dust: Vince Young goes for broke now that his football career is over

 

After 6 years of unproductive football, Vince Young is now back where he started again. After his exit from the NFL, he is now reportedly broke with nothing to claim for his 26 million dollar contract. What is happening with these athletes that get all this money and don’t invest in their future. Have they learned nothing from MC Hammer?  Im not sure what he spent his millions on but apparently he was not preparing for the future. Why is it that we as Americans in general don’t plan for the future and secure the abundance of money we are blessed with so that we can survive when we have less. Here is an example of a man who had millions and wasted the money on frivolous things just to  look good to others.  Young reportedly took out a loan  during the NFL lockout to keep up with his lavish lifestyle and now he is unable to pay the money back.  Well now all is lost and he has nothing to show for it. So now what?  Sigh….. One day we all will learn to prepare for the worst. Not every day will be a million dollar day…

After the Game: Michael Strahan on the move to daytime TV

Michael Strahan may have a new job pretty soon. Rumor has it that he is  being considered for co host with “Live with Kelly” talkshow. Strahan, a former NFL player for the NY Giants, has been commentating for the games and now looking for a new gig. He definitely is staying busy since he got off the field and that is great. I like to see players doing other things and using their talents elsewhere. It shows that they are a well rounded person.  Hopefully we will get some good news from the show saying that he is a permant keeper to fill the shows of Regis.  What do you think of this move for Michael Strahan?

Former Rockets player Yao Ming was recently on a trip  to Kenya. He was there to see how the greed of Ivory was killing many of the countries elephants and rhino’s.  Ivory poaching has become so bad that the elephant population has dropped tremendously. Ming was also able to see first hand how the elephants are killed and he described them as “very evil”.  Yao Ming really got the point after seeing the dead carcass and wants others to know that this act is something that should be stopped. He wants the Chinese people to know that this act of poaching is not worth the ivory and extinction of elephants.
