Michael Vick Is Not A Pedophile

2007-08-30T12:00:00.000-07:00

Michael Vick is one of the most outstanding football players in the National Football League today. Without Michael Vick playing football with the Falcons, Atlanta would still have one of the lowest attendance levels in the National Football League. As we all know now, you will be spending a minimum of a year to a maximum of five years in jail because of providing money for dog fighting and killing animals.

Now the Falcons will most likely be in the same boat as they were before drafting Michael Vick,. Their fans are not going to come anymore because they probably will not win and their will not be any phenomenal football players on the field to cheer for like Michael. He would gain 10 yards on a play where he was about to be sacked for 10 yards. He is phenomenal at playing a position where it is not common that they rush for as many yards as a running back.

These things should not be taken away from him just because he made a few mistakes. Yes, he does deserve to go to jail for the charges that are being brought against him. The fact of the matter is that why is the federal government and the state of Virginia wasting their time trying to catch all these dog fighting criminals.

There are more important things that should be worried about then these dog fighting criminals. Again, I know what he did was bad but if you are trying to catch people, catch the people that are doing worse things than what Michael Vick was doing. Little kids and grown-ups are getting raped every day while we are worrying about Michael Vick. Go catch the more important things than this. I'm not saying what he did was right at all but when they were doing this whole investigation a eight hundred more people got raped. If you are going to worry about one dog fighting criminal over 800 rapest, that no wonder why the federal government gets looked at so badly.

Basically, just give Michael Vick the year in jail he deserves. Pedophiles only get a year and then they roam our streets again doing the same things they did before. Now that is sick and disgusting. That is cruelty. All animals have feelings including deer, bear, pigs, and cows. There are even more than that, but we allow them to still be slaughtered also.

Again, I'm not saying what he did is right but other people are doing the same things to other animals and nothing is said about it. It shouldn't be just one animal, but all animals that are protected. Just trying to make a point.

Lebron James Inexperienced

2007-08-29T12:00:00.000-07:00

Many people are going to really fight back after reading this article. Trust me, most of the town that I live in already is fighting back. Verbally that is, verbally. I can't help but get into these Lebron James conversations throughout the community. I hear his name so much on ESPN that I catch his name in other people's conversations automatically. This only leads to me telling them how overrated he really is.

I know he is a good player, but he will never be the player that Michael Jordan was. All he can do is drive to the basket and hope that he will be able to make the shot. Which, in the regular season he is able to do just that. However, when it comes to the playoffs he could not play well.

He's like another Peyton Manning. He tries so hard in the regular-season that when the playoffs begin defenses step up their level of play and he can not do anything against them throughout the game. Lebron has shown all his moves to defenses throughout the year that they know what he is going to do before he even does it.

I know that they say play every game at 110% but if other teams are not playing defense at 110% than you think you are going to be able to see the same things you did throughout the regular season. That is not the case though because when the defense picks it up and you are not able to adjust it is not the same.

It was funny to see him in every press conference say, “I'm just going to have to adjust to the defense.” Guess what, he never adjusted himself only his team did. The team that everyone said was terrible was actually taking them through the playoffs themselves. All that Lebron actually did was turn the ball over and miss shots. He actually hurt the team more then he helped them throughout the playoffs.

The Cavaliers actually played the best defense throughout the playoffs when looking at the statistics. The only time they fell apart was when they were playing in the finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Hey, they cannot carry the team all the way through when their best player wasn't playing up to par. He needs to learn defense, good shooting habits, and to take control of games. He has everything he needs to become one of the best players in the game ever. Being able to shoot three-pointers at a high percentage would extremely help, especially in the fourth quarter. I'm not sure what it is about the fourth quarter but he always falls apart. He also needs to work on his free throws as his percentage is terrible for the position he plays at. If he can get those two things down then teams would be more afraid to foul him on the way to the basket. This is because he will be able to get to the basket more.

Lebron is not a terrible player but he just has a lot to work on to take the next step. Sometimes I wonder if he just thinks that he is good enough already and just needs better teammates. Just like other teams though, players have to become good on some team. Why doesn't Lebron help make his players better. There are already good at defense, if you take one away and get a shooter then it is just like a trade off. The defense will not be so good then.

Sports Enhancement Through Hypnosis: Get Your Head In The Game!

2007-08-28T12:00:00.000-07:00

'Get your head in the game!' is a now trendy slogan made popular by Disney's highly successful 'High School Musical' movie. When it comes to playing sports, for fun or professionally, pure talent no longer is a guarantee of sports stardom and success. Focus is the key, and those that have the skills for the game and the focus to keep their head in it, will come out stars.

One such believer may be heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. As a young, up and coming fighter, Mr. Tyson used sports hypnosis to become the heavyweight champion of the world. He certainly had the skills to be a fighter, but many believe it was his drive and focus that made him a champion. If you studied any of his early bouts, you would see the determination and concentration he had.

Many sports stars use hypnosis, especially when they need to get out of a slump. But waiting until you are in a slump may not be the best choice. More than a few medalists in both Olympic Games have successfully used sports hypnosis to keep their focus and attention on the prize, they do not get second chances! Sports hypnosis has become so popular, that hypnotists have been hired by entire Olympic teams to make sure they bring home the gold.

Hypnosis works for enhancing your game, no matter what the sport. Is it a miracle worker? Will it take a person who can't throw a baseball more than 20 miles per hour and 15 feet into a baseball star? No, absolutely not. Obviously, you need the skills before hypnosis can work its wonders. However, it can take a mediocre player and make him or her good or possibly great with practice.

How does hypnosis work and what happens during a session? The answer for that question really depends on the hypnotist or psychologist that works with you. There are many techniques and theories and can vary dramatically. Some techniques are as simple as visualization.

Imagine you are a basketball player and you need to practice free throws. When you practice, you make the shots sometimes, but also miss many times. So you are practicing to miss, not practicing to make it. Of course one needs to practice but visualizing yourself making the shot every time builds confidence and esteem. It also sets the mind in motion to know what it needs to do.

It has been proven that this type of visualization technique increases shot percentage. Try it yourself if you can. Stand on the foul line and take some shots counting your baskets and misses. Then close your eyes and go through the motions of making the shot (but do not actually shoot, don't even hold the ball). Feel the motion of your arms, go through the shot and visualize, actually see the ball go in the basket. Do this numerous times until you feel you have the motion down. Then open your eyes, take the ball, relax, take a deep breath and shoot.

Take the same number of shots as before relaxing prior each shot. Remember to keep track of your hits and misses. You should see a vast improvement. This can work with most any sport, for example, gymnasts should visualize their complete routine, over and over in their minds, never missing, always landing each move perfectly.

Again, there are many techniques and the example above was a simple one using pure visualization and did not include hypnosis. This alone as part of a sports psychology session can be helpful and learning to do these techniques on your own is invaluable. But to get the full potential, hypnosis can intensify the effects of the visualization.

Do not be afraid of hypnosis. Be assured that you will not act like a chicken (unless of course you don't mind, your sport is dancing, and your routine is the chicken dance) and you will not do anything you are not willing to do. Yes, one should always check the references of whoever you choose to work with and make sure you feel comfortable with the person.

So, whatever your sport, goal, or hobby; use hypnosis to increase your potential and get your head in the game.

Thanks Kevin Sinclair

Latrell Sprewell Loses Yacht

2007-08-27T12:00:00.000-07:00

Here we go again, that's what most of you are probably thinking. Latrell Sprewell is yet again being talked about still after retiring from the NBA. He played for the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Minnesota Timberwolves. He played for 13 years and averaged around 18.3 points per game.

"They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed. Anything could happen." That is what he famously said after turning down an offer of three years, $21 million contract with the Timberwolves. He should have taken it considering he was then not offered a contract from any other team in the league. He was old and washed up but could still play at a high enough level. No one even came close to even matching the offer the Timberwolves did so he was left without anything. Now he should worry about having food on the table. Now he is at risk.

This isn't the only stupid thing he is done in his basketball career. During a game he got so fed up with one of his coaches that he actually wrapped his hands around his neck and choked him. He is absolutely crazy! Absolutely! The smart thing to do would not have anything to do with the people he was hanging around with just like Pac Man Jones. They have maturity levels of 13 year olds and do not even know how to act right in front of a camera when the whole world is watching. They wonder why everyone is picking on them?

The latest report is that a US marshal armed with an order from the judge to sease the yacht, The Milwaukee's Best, on the shore of Lake Michigan. LSF Marine Holdings, a company ran by Sprewell, has failed to make monthly payments of $10,322 in a timely fashion. He also hasn't maintained the necessary insurance according to a report.

We are not sure if he just decided not to make the payments or if he did not have enough money to make the payments. Either way he has some major problems. Paying for this sure does take a lot of money away from buying food for his family, especially if he didn't have any money in the first place. I guess we'll never know.

If ESPN and all the others sports companies would just ignore this stuff then we woul out to hear about his name again. Then again, I am writing an article about him. I guess I might need to stop now.

Chicago Cubs Fans Are Annoying

2007-08-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

Chicago Cubs fans really are beginning to get annoying. All I hear now is how it is unfair that the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees have all the money to spend on good players. The fact is though, Chicago Cubs has the third-highest salary in all of major-league baseball. The problem is that there are always just picking the wrong people for a team. You've gotta make sure you put a team together that doesn't have all the different attitudes that do not mesh.

No, this is not your year. Every time you talk to a Chicago Cubs fans you find yourself wishing that you never did. If it is in February they say, this is our year. If it is in June they say, we like to try to play catch up. If it is in September they say, there's always next year. No, this is not your year and there is not always next year. The way the team is put together there is no chance of bringing a World Series home to Chicago. The best chance is the White Sox, again!

Also, stop saying and talking about how it would be bad if Mark Cuban did end up actually with full ownership of the Chicago Cubs. This would be a good thing! He would use his money on players that will come together and just play the game and not say anything. Mark Cuban knows that this makes the best teams in any sport. If anything needs to be said it will be said by Mark himself. He is not at all scared of speaking his mind to the public and the commissioner.

He won't ruin the sport of baseball either. He will only make it better. To get an owner that would want to actually sit and be part of his fans would be a pleasure in anything. Then at no time should you Chicago Cubs fans ever complain that your owner does not want it as bad as you do. He'll be cursing and screaming as much as the other fans because the team is playing terrible. He will also be cheering loudly every game of the season and sitting with the other Cubs fans in the stadium.

The lesson here is that you are being offered everything you need to win a World Series and yet you are complaining about every little thing. The Chicago Cubs fans are becoming worse than Red Sox and Yankees fans themselves. Cubs fans always try to say that everyone comes back on the Yankees bandwagon when they become good again. However, I've seen the same thing with Cubs fans this year. No one even talked about the Cubs when they played terrible but as soon as they started to come back in their division and now lead everyone is talking about them again.

Dog Takes Down Vick

2007-08-25T17:06:00.000-07:00

One of the aspects of the Michael Vick dog fighting investigation that hasn't gotten much attention is how it all started. So let's explain: It all started with a dog named Troy.

Troy is a Dutch shepherd (that's a Dutch shepherd in the photo, but it's not Troy) who joined the police department in Hampton, Va., last year. During a patrol outside a Hampton nightclub in April, Troy alerted his handler that he smelled drugs in the trunk of a car. Police found marijuana in the car, which turned out to belong to Vick's cousin, Davon Boddie.

After arresting Boddie, police got a search warrant for the home address he listed, 1915 Moonlight Road. That was the address of the property Vick owned, and when police searched the property, they discovered 66 live dogs and evidence of dog fighting. Further searches yielded 17 dead dogs and evidence that Vick's claim of "I'm never there" was false.

So it was Troy, out doing his job sniffing for drugs, who put a stop to a dog fighting ring, no doubt saving the lives of many of his fellow dogs in the process.

Colts Are On The Defensive

2007-08-25T12:00:00.000-07:00

I'm really not sure what the Colts going to do this year. This preseason they have not looked all that bad. Then again preseason does not mean much only in the first quarter. It was pretty funny though watching their defense get torn apart.

It is interesting that the Colts can go and pay Dwight Freeney a huge amount of money, but start over with the rest of their defense. They're going to have three new starters in their secondary but Tony Dungy is saying that no one should be worried because they play a cover 2 defense. I'm not sure what he is talking about considering you still have to have smart players and talented players playing in the cover 2. They have none of that. The best thing they have is Bob Sanders.

One of their biggest losses of the off-season will be Cato June. They really began to believe that he was only good because of the cover 2 defense they use. As bad as their defense looked without him at the linebacker position I would begin to worry. He was a good tackler with good speed and strength. Right now, they're looking at replacements that have none of that.

Another loss they had by injury is McFarland. He will be sitting out the whole season to rehabilitate. He was one of the main reasons that the defense was able to begin to stop the run throughout the playoffs. If they would never have got him from Tampa Bay I'm not sure that they would have won the Super Bowl. Okay, actually I'm positive they would have not won the Super Bowl. The defense is actually why they won in the first place. Payson Manning continued to play at one of the lowest levels in playoff history.

The offense does look good like always which always makes you feel better if you are a Colts fan. I'm not so sure that they're going to have as good as an offense though. Peyton Manning is assuring us that Joseph Adai will have a huge year at the running back position. Remember though that this came when he had Dominic Rhodes to take off some of the load. Plus Peyton Manning's backside offense of linemen retired giving him a new linemen that is yet to be named. You will finally now have a new backside lineman for the first time in his career. As we all saw this preseason, Manning was getting nailed from the backside, no pun intended.

For all the Colts fans I'm sorry to say that I would be worried for this upcoming season. You'd better really hope that Bob Sanders does not get injured as he will be the only reason that the defense is anything this year. If you are a fantasy player I would not go for the Colts defense, but that is just common sense.

Rearranging A Wardrobe For N F L Football Season

2007-08-24T12:00:00.000-07:00

As football season approaches, there is typically a lot of activity that occurs in a football fans household. Many women prefer not to think of themselves as football widows from September of one year to January of the next year. They prefer to look at themselves as women who can begin to rearrange a wardrobe for football season.

When organized properly, football season can be a lot of fun. The National Football League buys their football players the finest football uniforms that money can buy. Families deserve to dress just as nice as the men on the playing field and their favorite team should be proudly displayed all over town too. So many committed football wives will take that to task and begin shopping for NFL team jerseys, NFL banners, and even get a few NFL posters and pig-skin footballs for their child's room.

A family favorite for wear during the football season has always been the Team tee-shirts. Closets are easy to organize when most of the clothes are made of lightweight materials that are easy to wash and maintain, even after the football season has ended. Since many tee-shirt sizes fit several body types, they are more affordable to own and buy too.

NFL tee-shirts are designer wear for family members at very affordable prices. The cost to rearrange a wardrobe is minimal and if organized properly, a family of four might be able to afford season tickets to all of the home games of their favorite NFL team. Souvenirs would be possible too and everybody that goes to an NFL game always wants one or two for other family members that did not make it to the game.

Keeping a good stock of NFL socks on hand is always a good idea. NFL socks are good quality socks that always seem to keep everybody's feet warm during a game even if there is snow on the ground. If the wardrobe locker at home is truly organized for football season, NFL football fans will always find a nice pair of socks ready to be worn so that everyone can get to the game on time.

Of course, there are special tee-shirts that have to be purchased for post season wild card games. All of the souvenir jerseys might come out of the wardrobe locker for the divisional playoff games that typically will occur on Saturdays. For the Conference Championships, people might have to dig out their NFL team windbreakers and heat up some cocoa because mid-January has a tendency to be quite chilly, even in the South.

The wardrobe locker might begin changing once again by the time the Super Bowl arrives in February. Depending on which team makes it to the Super Bowl every year, it may be necessary for someone to pay attention to who wins the Conference Championships. The last task of the NFL football season will be to make sure that everybody in the family will be wearing either an AFC Champion clothes selection or a jersey or jacket that reflects a team in the NFC. Buying Super Bowl gear will be the thrilling culmination of a terrific football season.

The Patriots Are Winning

2007-08-23T15:57:00.000-07:00

The New England Patriots probably have one of the best chances to win the Super Bowl this year than any other year. There three super bowls came when they were not even recognized as one of the best teams in the league. It will be interesting to see if they can really live up to all the hype of winning this season.

Adding good receivers is like Randy Moss, Dante Stallsworth, and Wes Walker made this offense more scary then it already is. They will not have inexperienced wide receivers dropping the ball in the end zone like in the AFC championship. Now if they could only teach their offense of line to block like the Colts offense of line they would be unstoppable. Peyton Manning gets about 10 seconds to make a decision to Tom Brady's three or four seconds. Yet, Tom Brady has three super bowls, two more than Peyton Manning, and just as good statistics.

They also added a great linebacker. This is a huge upgrade considering that they have one of the oldest groups of linebackers in the league. Thomas is a huge add-on and fits right in to the Patriots 3-4, 4-3 defense. Teddy Bruschy never has been the same since his heart surgery but knows how to run the defense well enough to be an impact on the game. For Verlander, he will be able to play the right position unlike last year when they were low on linebackers. Him being able to play his normal position is actually like an upgrade.

Rodney Harrison will also be back in their secondary. I say this with nervousness considering he usually plays until the 16th week and then gets injured for the playoffs. He really does make a difference because he is such a dirty and hard-hitting player. He will make a Quartererback think twice after he hits them. The only problem with their secondary is that Asante Samuel is holding out still. They went out and got a cornerback from the Chicago Bears, so I'm guessing that they are not going to give in to his demands anytime soon.

The Patriots are going to put up a fight all year. The Colts should really watch out for this highflying team that looks to dominate the league. Not only the Colts though, but everyone in the entire league. I predict that they will go twelve and four, easily.

Soccer Has A Long Way Go

2007-08-22T12:00:00.000-07:00

I was a little weary to even bring up the sport of soccer but I can just not help myself. I know that it wants to become big in the United States but that is never going to happen. The problem is that is just too boring to watch on TV. They do not score enough goals and the score always looks so low. It completely reminds me of hockey just without the ice and ice skates. The basic rules are all the same and so are the scores. If hockey hasn't been able to make it neither will soccer.

The one way that it might become more interesting is if soccer would consider changing the rules a little bit. They should try to make it more like football in America. For every score you could just add six points instead of one and a free kick like a field goal. This would run up the score and look a lot more like football scores. This seems to be the same problem with baseball today also. More people are continuing to stop watching the sport just because the scores are so low. I know it sounds ridiculous but it is the truth. And I do not think it is going to change any time soon.

Bringing a washed up player to America, David Beckham, was a mistake. In soccer, older people at the age of 32 usually do not continue to play at a high level. However, considering our soccer players are a lot worse than the others in the world he probably will succeed. It was a way to try and get people to notice soccer and have some interest in it. The truth is, the only place I think it has helped it is in California where he plays for the LA galaxy.

Soccer is becoming very popular in the states to play and it's mostly because other sports are a lot harder to play. The reason, people can catch on to soccer very easily. When I was in high school the kids that could not play other sports played soccer. They need a lot of players on the field so that it gives many different kids opportunities to play in the game. As many people that played it in high school, it is sad that it will continue to still be boring to watch for Americans.

The more foreigners we get in America, the more soccer will become popular. However, I do not believe that it will ever be able to compare to any of our major sports like football, basketball, and baseball. It has to catch up in America just like our major sports have to catch up to in other countries. Even though our major sports like basketball and baseball are taking bigger strides in other countries than soccer is in our country.

Kobe Bryant Traded!

2007-08-21T12:00:00.000-07:00

Kobe Bryant has become one of the biggest jokes of the NBA. I know he is one of the best players, I guess, but he cannot carry a team like Michael Jordan did. People try to say that Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Tony Kukoc, Ron Harper, and Dennis Rodman. What happened though when all these players went to other teams? They were terrible.

If Kobe Bryant could carry this team it would actually amaze me and then I might consider him to be one of the best players in the league. I know he has a young team but he should be able to carry them more than he is doing. I guarantee you if Michael Jordan was on his team in his prime he would carry them to at least the NBA finals. That's right, I guarantee you!

The reason why most people even pay attention to him is because he actually did win three NBA finals. Consider that he did have Shaquille O'Neal on his team also. So usually when Kobe Bryant was not having a good game he was able to lean on O'Neal. Plus, Shaquille O'Neal won a championship without Kobe. Once he left, Kobe was left with nothing but himself. All he can do now is learn to depend on himself like Michael Jordan did.

The distractions continue to come considering he did demand a trade. He really needs to realize that this will only bring destructions to the whole team and make them perform worse. I'm sure his teammates do not like him complaining and not wanting to be part of the team. Who would want to help someone like that win again? He said it was misinterpreted but it is still all over You Tube. There is no way anyone could misinterpret that. He wants to be traded!

We'll really get to see how much it makes a difference when he plays around a bunch of good players for the USA Olympic team. It's about time that he was not hot headed and think that he could not play for the team anyways. Remember, if it wasn't for Shaquille O'Neal they would have never have won those championships. He would just be another Michael Redd that scores a lot but no one really talks about because his team is never very good. I know it is so sad, but so true.

I know for the LA fans that it is easy to cheer for someone that did help them win championships. But the rest of our nation sees it all through different eyeglasses. We see the baby that he really is.

NASCAR Rules

2007-08-20T12:00:00.000-07:00

I would like to start with the sport of NASCAR as the first article that I will write about cars. Many people are actually catching on to the world of NASCAR. In my world it has always been a part of my life. I grew up with it as my dad cheered on Bill Elliott for many years.

At first I really didn't know if I really liked the sport as a kid. As I have grown up I realized that I didn't like a lot of things besides Nickelodeon and Disney. Now that I'm older I'm able to watch a full race, full games of football, full games of baseball, and full games of basketball. I can even sit down and watch players hit a ball back and forth to each other. Tennis isn't my favorite sport but I can sure watch a whole match Only if it is a good one now.

Now with the new thing in NASCAR, the chase, it makes it a lot more exciting. It started out that the top 10 cars would start over with points with 10 races left. Now that there are so many good race car drivers they changed it to 12 drivers this year. This keeps the point standings very close all the way to the end instead of a driver pulling a way in the points and then not taking chances in races to win but just be consistent and getting top 20s. The reason I say this is because right now Jeff Gordon would most likely win the points standings even though there are 14 races left because he wouldn't try to win but just be safe and get a top 20 finish so that he stays in front of the points. Now the new format makes NASCAR way more exciting and has attracted millions of new fans.

I know many people try to attack NASCAR because they say they only drive in a circle. These are some of the best drivers in the world though. They go on road courses, where they turn both ways, two times a year and might add more. The point that I am making is that the supposedly best drivers in the world come and try to do these and yet they still cannot win a race. My point exactly.

The greatest thing about this sport is that the best driver and car doesn't always win. You also have a pit crew that changes tires and fuels the car with gas. So if you have a bad pit crew then this could really hurt you after pit stops. There is also strategy as to how many tires you take and when you take your pit stop. This could move you from 30th place all the way up to fourth or even third.

NASCAR is getting more and more popular but yet there are will always be critics about any sports, especially soccer. So be part of the NASCAR nation.

Patrick and Theismann Are Missed

2007-08-20T08:32:00.001-07:00

Thank god they are back together. ESPN is actually missing them. They have "know nothing" Mike Tirico and Monotone Ron Jaworski. Jaworski was voted most annoying on Sunday NFL Countdown. They are just not willing to go backwards. Too Boring! They will not even get excited when something happens. Kornheiser will try to crack a joke, Tirico will tell us how many yards on the play and the score, and Jaworski will try to do a John Madden and explain the play while pausing in between points. Do not even get me started on bringing celebrities into the booth. We miss the frickin game. Jaworski always says he has all these celebrities in his speed dial, yeah right. Makes me puke. Atleast Patrick gets just as excited as every other "Real" football fan. "Are you serious!!" "You've gotta be kidding me! "

I'll go with Joe Theismann and Mike Patrick.

The reason I brought this up is because of an article at Deadspin making fun of Patrick and Theismann.

It's somewhat jarring, seeing Joe Theismann back in the booth with Mike Patrick, albeit for a preseason Redskins game. It's even more jarring to see Theismann so shamelessly hawking Papa John's Pizza; we almost expected him to be dressed up in the uniform of a delivery boy. But most jarring, and most upsetting to the world's axis, is Patrick's odd rejoinder to Theismann's pizza hackery. These guys really miss ESPN.

Little League World Series

2007-08-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

The Little League World Series is here. Many kids and parents look forward to watching the Little League World Series every year. It is time just to relax and watch kids enjoy the game of baseball. Millions of people watch it on ESPN and ABC every year. It's not about people playing for money but for the love of the game and having fun. How can you not enjoy that?

Having played in the Little League World Series myself I cannot even explained how much fun it was. It makes you feel like you're part of something bigger and better in our society. It makes you feel like a top player just like Major league baseball players. The truth is you are actually good and some of the best out of all the other 12-year-olds in the United States and even the world.

Enjoying different ethnic groups playing sports is very enjoyable for hopefully not only me but everyone. It's a chance for all the different countries to come together and play sports at a young age. This actually gains interest in things such as the World Cup in soccer and baseball. Of course it also gains interest in the summer and winter Olympics. Once you see or play with these different ethnic groups it brings you to want to see all of different groups play together at every level.

The grass hill that was is what they call let by the end of the Little League World Series. It starts off as a grass hill every year and ends up being pure mud or dirt. Kids slide down it with cardboard sun or rain. When it rains it gets really bad. People will slide all the way down the hill with no cardboard box at all. Every year afterwords they have to seed the area of the hill again so that next year it looks really nice. It has always been a part of the Little League World Series so the head of the Little League World Series has never said to not ruin the grass on the hill.

Many people have come across a Little League World Series game but just change the channel because they do not want to watch kids. This is the time of the kids life that you want to watch because there is no gambling, no money, and no fame. They're just playing to play and try to win. Like they always say, play with 110%!
