Even Trade?

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10008050/detroit-tigers-agree-trade-prince-fielder-texas-rangers-ian-kinsler

I'm not too sure about this trade; if I was with Detroit, I would have kept Prince Fielder over trading for Ian Kinsler. Fielder backed up Miguel Cabrera in the batting line up and was a good defender. Now what is going to do? I don't know about this trade on Detroit's end.

What do you guys think about this trade? Comment and let me know what you think... and as always, don't forget to be awesome.

Pecover vs. Electronic Arts

This was weird, I got a check in the mail from Pecover vs. Electronic Arts for $24.00. I really don't know what they were suing over or really what the case is about but its free money.

Penality Explaned

A reasonable explanation? Comment your thoughts on it and what you would have called if you were that referee.

Some say its an upset

With a win by the Carolina Panthers, it shakes up the division just a little but. And Cam Newton, played better than Tom Brady too. Oh well for the Patriots. Comment yours thoughts and as always, don't forget to be awesome.

RED SOX WIN!!!! Started from the Bottom

http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=331030102

The Red Sox have beaten the Cardinals in a best out of seven series for the World Series Title of 2013. Congrats to the Cardinals for making it that far but the Red Sox literally started from the bottom, and now there at the top of the baseball world.

Comments?

One More... Maybe

The Boston Red Sox have won game 5 and now need only one win to be the World Series Champions. The St. Louis Cardinals, on the other hand, need to go on the road and win two straight games at Fenway Park, to beat the Red Sox in the Series. Attached is a video and a box score by ESPN.

Tuesday... the day after Monday

Hey, its pre hump day and I feel like my weekend was too short. Anyone else? Any ways, this weekend was the upset weekend. Were if someone could lose, they would have in the worst way. As stated in my previous blog, the patriots lost in overtime to the jets on a bullspit call. Probably biased there, but whatever. College football was a definite upset. Oregon won but moved from number two... and they didn't go up. Stanford at least didn't lose, some how. And South Caroline doesn't know what top ten is any more. They went down to twenty-first. And that is only some of the major upsets. Anyway... any comments on what I should talk about next? Comment below and don't forget to be awesome.

Overtime

A loss for the Patriots. Man... but...

Post Vacation

Happy post vacation!!! Over the break, the only 'breaking news' that had happened was the Yankees resigned Joe Girardi for 4 years at $16 million. At least someone is getting paid for the Yankees losing. (insert laughter here) Other than that, the Red Sox beat the Rays in 4, the Dodgers beat the Braves in 4, the Cardinals beat the Pirates in 5 and as of right now the Tigers and Athletics are tied at 2 a piece. Insert your comments below on who you think is going to win that series, and who you think is going to go all the way.

And as always,
Thank You for reading and Happy Blogging

Hockey

Happy Thursday!!!! Hockey season is underway and there is no shortage this year!!!!!!!! Guess who has two thumbs and is happy... (this guy). The Boston Bruins have their first game tonight against the Tampa Bay Lighting. Time to start the year off right. But one topic I want to discuss, or have feed back on from you guys. How do you guys feel about fighting in hockey? Some people believe it doesn't belong in hockey and that it will cause serious injuries. I see it as something that separates hockey from every other sport; it is what makes hockey... hockey. That if someone on the other team did something that 'violated' the 'code of hockey', you should be able to take the fisticuffs off and handle the situation; and then of course sit for five minutes. I have attached two videos, one showing the recent injury from fighting, which didn't happen due to a punch so it shouldn't be an injury from fighting but technicalities come into play, and a second one showing what fighting does, crowd and momentum wise, and what it could solve.

About Me

Hi, my name is Jon Griffin and this blog is for my sport communication  and technology class at Slippery Rock University. I am not blogger or person that posts things every second of everyday. I don't understand what all the hype about blogging is, to me it is just another form of telling someone your every move, which I don't want to know your every move. Anyway... I watch a lot of sports; I watch ESPN all the time and I can always be found at my work place, either working or working out, at the Aebersold Student Recreation Center. I also participate in intramural sports; I am currently on a soccer team, Wise Monkeys, and a flag football team, SOL. I am the captain of SOL and this team was created primarily for the Student Organization of Latinos and Hispanics student group (that is where SOL comes from, no H though) on the campus of Slippery Rock University, but because we didn't have enough people, we had to branch out to friends so that we would have enough to play. For the league we are in, T-Shirt league, and for my sport communication and technology class, I created a logo for this flag football team (which I am going to attach a picture of here)
