NHL Records

Martin Brodeur of the new jersey devils has been chasing an NHL record for almost three weeks now. He recently just received his 102nd shutout in the regular season just one short of Terry Sawchuck. Brodeur is expecting to reach his milestone this friday when the New Jersey Devils play the New York Islanders because ten of his one hundred two shutouts have come from playing New York so its only natural that he will go after this record this friday November 6th. Although his last shutout came on Feb 17 2007 against the Islanders New Jersey and Martin Brodeur might have their work cut out for them tomorrow. So lets all wish him luck and we will all have to wait and see if he can reach this prestigious milestone on an exiting friday night game.

Jenson Button wins the formula 1 championship this past weekend it was a close race with Sebastian Vettel the seven time world champion winner steps in the help red bull Renault win their first race this season and came up second in the world championship right behind Button. Vettel could have very well won the championship if it hadn't been for a few small but costly mistakes running into Kubica. Although he had a great year coming in second and could very well win next years world champions with a few less mistakes. Brawn - Mercedes celebrate Jenson Buttons great year racing for them and can sit on this world championship win until next year when Sebastian Vettel comes back to try again for Red Bull Renault.

TAILGATING. Is it a tradition for you?

Tailgating, what does it mean to you? For some it's a party before a game and for others, it's a chance to experience the football game without being inside the stadium. So why are some trying to ban it? In the ESPN column Reilly has written his mentions that some are worried that these tailgaters drink to much and then are let back onto the roads. But Reilly says, then breathalyz everyone leaving the game, if they blow .08+ don't let them drive. What's the difference right? Do you feel the same way, should tailgating for those not attending the game be allowed?

College Football-

Sunday morning students fled a building when a fire alarm was pulled. Normal right? For two individules it wasn't. Jasper Howard, a Connecticut football play, and Brian Parker, were stabbed outside after the fire alarm was pulled. It was said that a fight broke out between two groups of people. Parker was let go from the hospital, however, Howard was pronounced dead after taking a stab to the abdomen.
Coach Edsall was torn whether or not to cancel this weeks game, but said he knew that isn't was Howard would have wanted. Was he right in this decision? The team decided to wear Howard's initals on the back of their helmets and take his jersey to each game for the rest of the season for support.

I wish all the best to Connecitcut and his family. Have a good season UConn. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4576659

New NHL 2K10

This commerical is a great way to stretch the market they are targeting. They show the older generation playing with the younger. They show moms having a great time playing the video game. It makes me feel comfortable to be a woman and want play that video game as well. I like that the moms even stay home to "party," it gives an alternative to kids to stay in and play even with their parents, instead of being out.
