Charles Barkley Needs To Learn From Tiger

I might be late on this, but when I was watching the halftime show for the Rockets/Mavs game, they showed a clip of Charles Barkley's golf swing and I had to post this.

It's Been Too Long

Sorry for not posting or updating this in over a month everybody. I've been extremely busy with soccer and school, but now that soccer is over, I will have more time to update the blog. Lemme update you about some stuff that's happened over the past month.

Soccer
Sadly, our soccer season ended earlier than we expected, and we under-achieved. We only got 4 wins, and lost some big games by a goal in OT and Double-OT. We beat Oakland Mills, Hammond, Howard (I scored), and Patterson. We still got some fresh warm-ups and just had fun. Good season.

Ravens
The Ravens are 4-3 and should be 6-1, but sometimes things just don't go your way. Flacco has looked great in some games, and down right terrible in others. The D is great as usual, but our offense needs to get back on track like they have been over the past 2 games in order to get into the playoffs.

Wizards
Sadly, Gilbert and Haywood are injured again, but Juan Dixon is back on the team and we still have Jamison and Butler. Stevenson needs to have another good year, improve this year, and continue with the good D. McGee and Thomas need to step up big time in order for a good shot this year.

T.I.
To me, Paper Trail proved to show how great T.I. is. Through all of his troubles he can still make great music. Enough said.

Tatum Bell is Cruddy

To set the story up, Rudi Johnson was released earlier in the week by the Bengals. He was their starting running back, but eventually lost the position to Chris Perry. I really don't understand why, because not that long ago Johnson was a pro-bowler. But the Lions call him up and he tries out for them. Now, I'm guessing that Tatum Bell, who was released by the Broncos and signed by the Lions, was thinking that Rudi Johnson was going to back him up, since Johnson said that Tatum would give him advice and they would talk after practice. However, this was not for the case for Bell. He was released by the Lions, losing the job to Johnson. Now, I guess to get back at Johnson, Tatum Bell was caught on video tape stealing the Gucci bags that Johnson had won at the Pro-Bowl. They were in the locker room, and Tatum Bell just straight up took it. This is real cruddy, but I must say it is hilarious. All I gotta say is, Tatum Bell you salty.

My Summer

Alright, so as you all know, today is the last day of summer vacation. I'm kind of sad because I love the summer, but this only means that I'm gonna get to see more of my friends, the regular season for soccer is in 2 weeks, and the NFL regular season is here too. But my summer was really good. I got to chill with my family, my girl, and my friends. Went to the pool a lot, went to the beach twice, and Atlantic City. I also got my permit yesterday, and a new dog. I moved my room into my basement, went to the Ravens' training camp, and mostly just chilled. Now, over this past weekend, I had to prep for school. I went and bought myself 3 new pairs of kicks (more to come). I got 2 pairs of air max's, one all white and one red, black, and white (different designs), and the all black Jordan Dentros.
I also had to cop a new North Face backpack. I got my supplies and everything, so I guess now I just gotta deal with the school year.

Fantasy Football

Last night, me and some of my boys held a fantasy football draft on ESPN.com. Now, if you don't know how fantasy football works, based on how the players you draft perform, you get points. It's a lot of fun to do the draft, and then watch your team and the other teams get points. So I'm gonna put my roster on here, and hopefully get some feedback from you, the readers.

Starters -
QB: Matt Hasslebeck
RB: Joseph Addai
RB: Marshawn Lynch
RB/WR: Fred Taylor
WR: Marques Colston
WR: Steve Smith
TE: Jason Witten
D/ST: Packers
K: Matt Stover

Bench -
RB: Chester Taylor
RB: DeAngello Williams
TE: Alge Crumpler
QB: Philip Rivers
TE: Donald Lee
RB: Leon Washington
D/ST: Ravens

Lemme know what you think of my roster

2008 Olympics So Far

So far in these Olympics, USA is leading in the medal count over China by a few, even though China has more gold medals. Michael Phelps is tearing it up, being 6 for 6 so far (6 gold medals and 6 world records). He is trying to become the first person to win 8 gold medals in the same Olympics. The USA Men's Basketball team is blowing everybody out, trying to win the gold for the first time since 2000. Sadly, the USA Men's Soccer team lost, but I wasn't too surprised. The Olympics aren't done, and that's all I've been following, so I can't really talk about more.

Raven's Training Camp

As you all know, I am a huge Baltimore Ravens fan. Luckily, my mom took off of work and took me to the Ravens' Training Camp up at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD. It was great. I saw the team work out and saw the new staff. Troy Smith looked very good, as well as Joe Flacco. We all know about Kyle Boller... Ray Rice looked real good too. Derrick Mason was putting the moves on, and Mark Clayton was just burning everybody. When it came time for autographs, I bought a Ravens' seat cushion for the players to sign. Sadly, I only got 3 autographs; Dan Cody, Kelly Gregg, and former boxer and rookie SS Tom Zbikowski. I was right infront of Troy Smith, and the man didn't sign my cushion. I was blown because I've been a big fan since his days at Ohio State..before his big year. I saw the greats on the team however, and it was a lot of fun.
