THE DEAD ZONE FOR NFL FANS

6/23/08 - 6/26/08

Ok the NFL dead zone is here, what that means is no more practices for the players or coaches until training camp begins, in late July for most teams. This past week was the final days of organize team actives and mini camp. So now that the players and coaches are on vacation for six weeks.

What will us as National Football League fans do to an enable to kill the six weeks that we will have before training camp begins.

The Finals in the National Basketball Association against Boston and Los Angles is done with Boston winning the title. We have Major League Baseball going on as well as the European Champion Clubs tournament; also know as the Euro cup.

We then have the more suitable choice among fans who just love football as in arena football. As the arena league is just about to start their playoffs which is beginning this Friday on ESPN for the road to New Orleans.

The National Football League as I have stated countless times, has the grip on are sports landscape in this country of ours. No other sport or league can replace the fun that we have when tailgating before the games or the passion we share in our teams, then in the National Football League. Which is why when the dead zone begins, we are numb as to what to spend our free time on other then with family or friends.

That is the state all our in as the dead zone is now an effect. Can you make it threw the six weeks without nothing any kind of major news around the league, besides rookies signing contracts?

So go ahead and put sun screen on just incase because it’s hot outside even when the dead zone is here.

OUTRAGE IN TAMPA !!

6/9/08 – 6/15/08
Well if you’re not a buccaneer fan or you do not live in Tampa then you will have no idea as to what the title ales to. The outrage ales to of how the Buccaneers handle a certain situation, which by the way really do not come into Public eye until late last week here in Tampa Florida

The situation came into play when the Buccaneers released QB Bruce Gradkowski, so where is the outrage from that? Well it’s not from Bruce in case you are wondering. It’s from the move in which the Buccaneers made that them cut Bruce. Two weeks ago the Bucs re sign TE Jeremy Stevens, and that is where the outrage is from, why you ask? I will tell you why right now.

In late January “The Seattle Times “did an investigative report on the Washington Huskies, called “Victory and Ruins” in that, the Times uncovered a lot of things. Among them was that on Thursday morning of July 27th 2000, one of the star players from the Washington huskies had been arrest on at 7 am that morning.

Seattle police detectives, accompanied by a SWAT team, had served a search warrant at the home of Jeremy Stevens and took him away. As that situation, played out Jamey did in fact rape the women, as there were evidence was there. As there was signs of rape on the victim, as the medical staff found semen in her vagina and rectum, and a doctor told the victim that her anus had been lacerated. The witness who reported the incident to police this she had to say about the victim at the time of the crime: “That the women, who was being rape, appeared to be drunk or drugged” Despite all of that, Stevens was never charge in criminal court, only to settle it out of court in a civil case. By way of three hundred thousands dollars, if you want the rest of the details I highly suggest you go to The Seattle Times webpage and look it up.

That alone should get anybody going and upset about why this player is even allowed in the NFL. But Jeremy Stevens, Criminal history does not start their and neither does it stops. Back when Jeremy was in high school he punched holes in the wall, got caught with alcohol and marijuana and kicked a student in the testicles. Then there is this felony assault during a prearranged fight in a park where Stevens stomped on a guy's face. He did get charge for that fight. He also has been arrested for a DUI. To top it all off



When Tampa had originally signed him this is what general manager Bruce Allen had to say:

"He is a big, powerful, speedy tight end," said general manager Bruce Allen. "He has had some off-the-field issues that have hampered him a bit. We had a very serious talk with him today. I think Jeremy Stevens is a good young man."

Regardless The Citizens of Tampa and you can Florida, have every right not to want this person in their community. As every NFL fan should now be just upset as everyone here is in Tampa. This is truly a crying shame.

A Classic Finals is on the way.

6/2/08 – 6/8/08

However you want to say it: Celtics vs. Lakers, Boston Vs Los Angeles, Magic Johnson Vs Larry Bird, These words go together, like pencil and paper. And for the National Basketball Association, the current season, could have not ended in a better way.

These two teams will be meeting for an11th time in the National Basketball Association Finals and incase you are wondering, Boston has the lead in the finals series, as to eight series wins to the three series wins by the Lakers.

The Celtics, who have three all-stars as their big three in: Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and longtime Boston Celtic Paul Pierce.

That combination along with some good coaching by Doc Rivers in stuff, mix in with some good play by on the bench players is the reason as to why Boston has made it into this year NBA finals.

As for the Lakers, they have one all star in their big three and that is this year MVP award winner Kobe Bryant.

The other two who have contributed to the Lakers success as well is Pau Gasoil and Lamar Odom. The Lakers also have a coach by the name of Phil Jackson, who will be trying to pass legendary coach Red Auerbach, for a record setting of ten NBA championships.

This classic match up between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angles Lakers will tip off on Thursday night at 9pm on ABC.

I really don’t want to predict this series as I would love to see it go down to a game seven. With that said, I do thing that this series will be brought back into the spotlight and in the memory bank of the sports landscape.

So join me in cherishing this special moment in sports history, as well as hope for a great series to be remembered for a long... long… time.
