Masters 2010


Tiger Woods hasn't played in a golf tournament since last year. And so far Tiger hasn't played in anything so far this golf season. The big question is, will he be back for the Masters tournamnet? Tiger Woods hasn't missed the Masters tournament since 95 and this would be the first time he has missed it.

The Masters is arguably the greatest tournament in all of golf. Only elite players get invited and only the best of the best have ever won this wonderful and tough tournament.

Number Changing in the NBA...


There have been a few different players in the NBA that have changed their numbers from one to another over the past few years. The weird thing is, is that their not changing teams.

Should this be allowed? I mean for fans who buy their players jersey and then they change it without leaving the team isn't fair for the buyers. Most recent was Kobe Bryant. He went from wearing number 8 to wearing number 24. Also Lebron James will be changing his number from 23 to 6 next season.

Atlanta Falcons


The Atlanta Falcons have some big needs that they need to fill this off-season. Starting with defense. Atlanta's defense was ranked 21st overall. Which is terrible. The Falcons need secondary as well as defensive linemen.
The Falcons have mentioned a few names in which they are interested in already and they are: LaDainian Tomlinson and Julius Peppers where two of the big name players that could be difference makers for the team.

LT knows Micheal Turner well from when they were teammates in San Diego and wouldn't mind getting the one two punch back. The Falcons need to add depth at this position and could steal LT because most think that he's to old and is losing a step.
Julius Peppers would also be a very big addition since he's been a unstoppable force since he came into the league. He has speed and quickness along with strength. Him and John Abraham could be just what this defense needs to get some pressure on the many great Quarterbacks of the NFC.

A few other notable names that would help the Falcons are Dunta Robinson of the Texans who is now a free agent and also Nnamdi Asomugha who the Raiders want to trade.

The last option for secondary would be drafting some young guys in the NFL Draft which is always interesting.

Bobby Bowden: FSU's Greatest Coach of All-Time


Bobby Bowden was one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. Booby took over the head coaching spot at Florida State in 1976. He ended up coaching for FSU for some 34 years. He is known as a legend in Tallahassee where he will won some 377 games 2nd most all time in college football history. Bowden won everything from championship games to meaningless games.

Bowden's Highlights :
- 2 National Championships
- 12 Atlantic Coastal Conference Championships
- 21 Bowl Wins
- 377 wins (2nd most all time)
- 14 straight seasons of 10 or more wins in a season.

Coach Bobby is the only coach in history to win atleast 10 or more games in 14 straight seasons in Division 1 football. He coached NFL greats such as Deion Sanders and Warrick Dunn, along with many many more outstanding NFL players over his coaching career.
Bowden retired in 2009 and left big shoes to fill for Coach Jimbo Fisher. For all the Florida State fans in the world this is a sad time to watch their coach that they have loved and supported all these years walk away. It's just as sad for coach Bowden to have to walk away but at the age of 80 it was Bowden's turn to go.

How big of a risk is it for professional football players to play in the Pro Bowl?


All sports have an all-star game for their top athletes to compete against one another to determine which league(s) is better that particular year. Sports people love these types of games. In baseball and basketball the all-star game is more playful and these athletes have a lesser chance to get a major injury that could have an impact on the rest of their careers. But, in the National Football League it's a little different story.

The Pro Bowl is the name of footballs all-star game and is just like the other sports comes every year around the same time and has its top athletes compete. The only difference is that it's a contact sport. It's physical and these players risk their health every time they step on the field. These players get paid the big bucks for how the perform on the field.

With this being said most feel that the Pro Bowl should be changed for not only the players but also for owners who invest millions in these players. The Pro Bowl is just like any other regular season game but the winners take home $40,000 dollars and the losers get $20,000. So these players give it their all to win. All it takes is one big hit and a player could have a season or career ending injury. Each year more and more of the big name athletes in the NFL have been missing the Pro Bowl because of the thought of an injury or just because of the mental and physical beating these athletes take after 16 regular season games and if the team makes the playoffs which could be another 4 games possibly.

Being that the NFL is one of the best sports in all of sports played and watched, why should we risk hurting our top performing athletes? So the question we should ask ourselves is, should the Pro Bowl continue or should it be changed somehow to make it safer for these athletes?

Colts or Saints, which is going to win the Super Bowl?


Most people are saying the Colts have the upper hand in the Super Bowl even though the Saints want the fairy tale ending. And what better city could this happen to other than New Orleans. The city that was demolished and also New Orleans have never been to the Super Bowl.

Atlanta Braves Baseball


Is Frank Wren good or bad for the Braves organization? Also, what should the Braves do to be as dominant as they were in the 90's?

College Basketball: Number 1 goes down...


Tuesday night the unranked South Carolina Gamecocks hosted the the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky was ranked number 1 going into this game and was looking to roll and keep there unbeaten season alive. But Coach Horn (Carolina's Men Basketball Coach) had other plans for Kentucky.

Carolina wasn't ranked and hasn't this season due to down falls all season when starting forward Dominique Archie went down with a season ending injury and Mike Holmes getting kicked off the team. But on this night it was all Carolina. They came out looking good and only got better. Coach Horn is a young coach and seems to have a good connection with his team. Good chemistry and shooting helped the gamecocks in what is said to be the biggest win in team history. Other causes of this big win for the Gamecocks were Kentucky's missed layups and other easy shots that should have gone for them. With this the Gamecocks got more and more confidence in themselves which made this victory possible.

But the real question that should be asked when upsets like these happen are : Was this win by lucky, skill, and would this outcome happen again if these two teams matched up? Also, was the number 1 team in the country good enough or worthy enough to be the #1 team, if they fall to a team that should be a(n) easy win?
