Dwight Howard Calls Out Teammates Just As He Should

2012-01-28T03:53:00.000-08:00

Many people wonder why Dwight Howard wants to leave Orlando and the answer is really simple he wants to win a NBA Championship. He will never do that in Orlando as the cast around him could care less. Last night was another prime example of it. After blowing a 20 plus lead to the Celtics the night before Orlando gets blown out by a New Orleans team that had been struggling. Dwight Howard lit into his teammates just as he should.

Here is what Dwight had to say about his teammates:

“It hurts to get out there and you play your hardest and you expect everybody to play the same way, and I’m not calling anybody out by no means because we all have to get better … but if you don’t want to be out there, don’t dress up,” Howard said. “If you don’t want to play, stay home. People work too hard. I want to win a championship. I work too hard every night for anybody to not want to go out there and play hard. …

Now Dwight Howard 28 points and 16 rebounds, but was the only player in double figures in any statistic for the Magic. This is why Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando and it has been this way for a number of years now. He is frustrated and wants to play with guys who want to show up every night. You really cannot blame Dwight Howard anymore for wanting out!

2012-01-27T14:36:00.000-08:00

Joe Pa Saying Goodbye To A Legend

2012-01-26T04:34:00.000-08:00

With the death of Joe Paterno College Football has lost a legendary figure of it's sport. Paterno coached being accountable for things and in his final days Joe Paterno was still upbeat. What will the world write about Joe Paterno after he is gone many years? I know that he will always be considered one of the greatest coaches of all-time. No matter the circumstances that surrounded his firing he was a hell of a football coach. Ask any player who ever played for him and they will tell you countless stories on how he touched their lives.

Maybe the way Joe Paterno should be best remembered is through all the players lives he has touched. He has had some great players that have done great things on and off the field. People tend to think Joe Paterno was all about football. Yes, it was a big part of his life, but it was much more than that for him. He was proud of how many players went on to do great things with their lives. Not every player is an NFL player and Paterno understood this very well.

He taught about life after football and why your studies was so important. Maybe JoePa's biggest mark was not in college football but how many lives he changed for the better.

Lebron James In Regular Season A Proven Winner

2012-01-21T07:43:00.000-08:00

Lebron James did his best to show people he is dedicated to winning and doing what it takes to get that win. Last night against the Lakers James battled the flu to toss in 31 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for a 98-87 win over Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

No matter what people say about Lebron James he is a force on the basketball court when he puts his mind to it. James in my opinion is a much tougher player when he does not have a good supporting cast around him. He is forced to do more and this is where he excels. James at times can be lazy and that is his main problem. With Wade and Bosh on the team he many times will just stand around and watch.

For the Lakers they have many issues and one of those is playing hard for 48 minutes. They have parts of games where they play good, but you must do this for 48 minutes if you want to win in this league. Besides Kobe Bryant the Lakers have really not done much as a team. There road record is bad and they need to get it turned around very soon.

Are The New York Giants For Real?

2012-01-18T04:51:00.000-08:00

After the New York Giants sat 7-7 after an ugly loss to the Washington Redskins I thought that was the end for the Giants. The resourceful G-Men though never gave up and you can look right at their head coach Tom Coughlin for that. Coughlin was already fired and out the door at season's end, but now he has his Giants playing with confidence and one win away from another Super Bowl appearance. Like him or hate him Tom Coughlin knows what he is doing.

Right now the New York Giants are playing some of the best football in the National Football League. They have a good offense and a great defense at times. They have plenty of confidence and will not wilt under the pressure. New York went to Green bay and took it to the Packers which no one thought was possible. I know one thing people better stop doubting the New York Giants because they are for real.

Ravens, Giants Claim Big Playoff Wins

2012-01-16T05:42:00.000-08:00

The Baltimore Ravens knew beating the Houston Texans would not be easy and it wasn't. The Ravens needed four turnovers from their defense to get the 20-13 win over the Houston Texans. It may not have been the best looking win, but when have the Ravens cared about how they get a win. In their book a win is a win and they are moving on. They need one more win and they can be in the Super Bowl once again. That win will be tough as they take on the New England Patriots.

Everyone had the Green Bay Packers back in the Super Bowl, but someone forgot to tell the New York Giants. The Giants used a swarming defense and Eli Manning continued to play big in the Playoffs as the Giants dethroned the defending champions 37-20. Green Bay had chances, but made a lot of mistakes in the game. Give the Giants credit they are on a roll like now and a team that could probably beat anyone because they are talented. I guess we will have to wait and see if they can keep this roll going in San Francisco.

49ers, Patriots Move On In NFL Playoffs

2012-01-15T05:29:00.000-08:00

The New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers gave the NFL one of the best games in the post-season so far. After falling behind to the 49ers 17-0 the Saints battled back all game long. In the fourth quarter it was a back and forth game with little defense played. In the end, the San Francisco 49ers were able to come away with a thrilling 36-32 win over the game New Orleans Saints. It's a shame one of these two teams had to lose as both played well.

In the other game it was marketed as Tim Tebow vs Tom Brady if that was the case it was not much of a match-up. Tom Brady showed why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL by throwing six touchdown passes to an easy 45-10 win over the Broncos. Tebow struggled and was sacked numerous times. The Patriots play well at home and when Brady plays well the Patriots are very hard to stop.

Tim Tebow Most Popular Sports Star You Got To Be Kidding

2012-01-12T16:24:00.001-08:00

Yes, ESPN did a survey and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow top the list as the favorite male athlete. Now that really should not come as a surprise considering everywhere you turn it's about Tim Tebow. Now don't get me wrong he has done a good job in Denver and people like to see a guy like Tebow succeed. Just as many though are also rooting against Tim Tebow it's just how it works in sports. Tim Tebow will continue to ride this popularity as long as the Broncos continue to win.

People will drop you quickly if you make a mistake, say something wrong,or stop winning. Just ask Michael Vick about that one. He was probably one of the most popular playerss when he was in Atlanta, but dog fighting charges ended all that for him. Tebow must keep his nose clean and watch what he says and does in the future. If he can do that and win a few games a long the way it maybe a while be fore he is unseated as the most popular sports star.

Lebron James Still Trying To Learn How To Close Out Games

2012-01-12T10:17:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows Lebron James is a two-time League MVP, and one of the best in the NBA. This does not matter as people will always find things wrong with your game. Maybe the one area James has yet to fixed is his ability to close out games. The good ones all have it from Magic to Bird and Jordan to Kobe. For James though this has alluded him and must be fixed.

Last night he had a chance to fix his inner demons and could not close it out for the Heat at the free throw line. If he did he could start to get the tag of not being able to close games off his back. Instead he missed free throws and the Heat lost in overtime to the Clippers. No matter your greatness you have to close the deal and right now that is something that Lebron James has not learned how to do.

Hue Jackson Given The Boot In Oakland

2012-01-11T04:42:00.000-08:00

Even with Al Davis gone it does not mean the Oakland Raiders will stop doing weird things. After Hue Jackson guided the Oakland Raiders to an 8-8 season he was promptly fired by new GM Reggie Mckenzie in a weird move. The Raiders have been about instability in recent years and it looks like that trend will continue in the distant future. McKenzie and owner Mark Davis will both be in on the search for a new coach.

According to Reggie McKenzie they wanted to start fresh and with a new coach. I guess that is as good of an excuse as any. Firing a guy who got the Raiders to 8-8 makes really no sense considering it was Jackson's first year. It's the Oakland Raiders and they have always been dysfunctional and it looks like that will continue into the future.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club Helping Customers Out Of A Tough Situation

2012-01-11T01:01:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sometimes customers are put in a tough situation, and finding the best solution is not always easy. This is where many Walgreens customers find themselves with the Express Scripts program right now. Express Scripts program acts as an intermediary between the pharmacy and providing health care service for employers and health plans who pay for medications. Walgreens and Express Script has tried to negotiate a new contract, but no deal could be reached. This means as of Jan 1, 2012 Walgreens no longer was a part of the Express Scripts pharmacy provider network. This has displaced many patients whom now must find another provider if they are part of the Express Scripts program.

This changed has affected many Walgreens customers and they are scrambling to figure out what to do. Many people are being forced to travel longer distances now to get their prescriptions filled. Others are losing a pharmacist that they have known for many years. Even the American Military could be put in the middle of Express Scripts changes and Walgreens tried to work out a deal with Express Scripts, but it was rejected.

With all the changes, Walgreens has stepped forward to help Express Scripts program customers. They have introduced the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club at a special discount on an annual membership. For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including spouse and dependents 22 and younger. If you are an individual, it will only cost you $5.00. By joining today, you can get it at a great price and get discount prices on prescriptions. Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, and other medications as well are some benefits you will enjoy. Readers should show support of Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. It is great that a company is stepping forward to help their customers when a problem arises.

Barry Larkin Rides Glove Into Cooperstown

2012-01-10T10:50:00.000-08:00

Barry Larkin was a natural at shortstop. He had the range, and could make hard plays look routine. Barry also was an excellent hitter as well helping the Cincinnati Reds to the 1990 World Series. Larkin numbers were also very good as a hitter. He hit .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits and 379 stolen bases. A 12-time All-Star, he won the 1995 NL MVP award, three Gold Gloves and the 1990 World Series. Larkin deserves his spot in Cooperstown. The finally vote tally is listed below.

Final AP College Football Poll 1-10-2012

2012-01-10T10:36:00.000-08:00

Well the final AP College Football Poll is out until the summer, but in the end it has some interesting things to look at. Now we all know Alabama is No.1 I think they proved that to everyone in the country without a doubt. Number two though could be debated for some time to come. Some people feel LSU does not belong, but I think they do. With what they have accomplished they should be two. Oklahoma State should be three and my only beef is South Carolina. I think they should have been higher ranked.

Tim Tebow Shocks His Critics With Winning Performance Against the Steelers

2012-01-09T04:25:00.000-08:00

Tim Tebow has played on many big stages before, so he knows what to expect. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers everyone thought Tebow would struggle against the leagues no.1 defense, but that was not the case. Tebow threw for over 300 yards and connected on a touchdown pass in overtime to give the Broncos a 29-23 win. I will be the first to admit I did not give the Broncos or Tebow much of a chance that's for sure.

The Broncos run the ball well and passed even better against a Pittsburgh defense that looked old and tired. The Steelers had their chances, but did not make the most of them. You have to credit the Broncos and Tim Tebow with the Steelers having an off-night I guess. No matter what Tebow-mania will keep moving for at least another day it seems. People love Tim Tebow and he sure did not hurt his stock any with yesterday's performance that's for sure.

Oil Refinery

2012-01-06T16:41:00.001-08:00

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

I recently took a job in Texas working in an oil refinery as a contractor, and so far I love it. Sure, the weather is hot and the work is hard, but I get to live in a great town and get paid well for the work I do. As a contractor, I receive a Per Diem to cover my living expenses while I’m here working, which is also great. I found a wonderful apartment and am having a blast exploring my new city. Another great thing is that any money from my Per Diem stipend that I don’t spend is mine to keep. That was definitely the motivation I needed to try to save some money on my living expenses! At the suggestion of one of my new coworkers, I checked out Champion Energy Spring Texas and discovered that I could shop around for the cheapest energy provider. I have saved a ton of money on my utilities each month, and I’m sending that extra money back to my wife and family at home. Being away from them is not ideal, but I’m so fortunate to be able to provide a good living for them while I’m out here.

Albert Pujols Got Whale Of A Deal From Angels

2012-01-06T05:25:00.000-08:00

When Albert Pujols became a free agent we all knew he would be paid well, but no one could have guess he would get paid as well as he did. Give credit to his agent for getting him a one of a kind deal. Below is some of the things that are in Pujols new Angels contract.

Salary
2012: $12 million; 2013: $16 million
2014: $23 million; 2015: $24 million
2016: $25 million; 2017: $26 million
2018: $27 million; 2019: $28 million
2020: $29 million; 2021: $30 million

Personal services agreement
Sides agree that after the expiration of the contract or Pujols' retirement as a player, they will enter into a 10-year personal services relationship and Pujols will be paid $1 million annually.

Milestone accomplishments
The sides agree they will enter into a separate marketing agreement in which Pujols will be paid for the promotion and marketing of specified milestone accomplishments. Among them are a $3 million payment for 3,000 hits and a $7 million payment for 763 home runs.

Award Bonuses
Most Valuable Player: $500,000
MVP second or third place: $75,000
Gold Glove: $75,000
Silver Slugger: $75,000
All-Star election or selection: $50,000
World Series MVP: $100,000
ALCS MVP: $75,000

Don't we all wish we could get a contract like that. Give Pujols credit he got wanted he wanted and more. Maybe that is why he could very well be listed as one of the greatest of all-time after he retires.
