You Can't Escape Tebow.

Unfortunately, Colt McCoy got married this weekend to Rachel Glandorf. His college roommate, Jordan Shipley, was in attendance, and he was not shy. He shared a song with the wedding guests which he wrote and performed with another musician. The song was very funny, but it was also poignant. The song entitled "When I Grow Up, I Want to Be Just Like Colt McCoy" talked about how great Colt and his friends are (focused mainly on Jordan Shipley), and how he was not expected to be good because of his size and ability. However, the best part of the song was when Shipley sang the line about "rubbing elbows with Tim Tebow." This made the whole wedding party go ballistic. This incident has brought lots of attention to how Tim Tebow always steals the spotlight from Colt. *cough cough* Twenty-Fifth overall draft pick vs. Eighty- Fifth overall draft pick. *cough cough* This unusual attention given to Colt is probably the reason he is on the top of the trending topics on yahoo.com. I am very excited to see his name on this list. Here is a link to the video of the song. http://http://www.tmz.com/2010/07/19/tim-tebow-colt-mccoy-texas-longhorns-cleveland-browns-cincinnati-bengals-jordan-shipley-rachel-glandorf-wedding-song/ I hope you enjoy and have a good night.

Can a piece of rubber change your life?

No, but it can change the way you perform in sports and other physical activities.

Power Balance bracelets have become increasingly popular in the last few months. I have had a burnt orange one for about eight months and I love it. My bother, a few of my friends, and practically everyone in my neighborhood have one. They are supposed to increase your balance, flexibility, and strength. I believe they work and everyone I know who has tried one agrees. A family friend said the first time she wore hers was in a marathon and it was her fastest time. Her husband said the pain in his elbow went away immediately when playing tennis. Many famous athletes wear them including Shaquille O' Neal, Steve Nash, Lamar Odom, and my favorite Colt McCoy. The bracelets come in tons of colors and styles; many celebrities have been wearing them. I believe they work although many people (who probably haven't tried them) think I'm crazy.

It's a sign!

On April 23, 2010, Colt McCoy was drafted into the NFL. He went in the third round, eighty-fifth overall; he went to the Cleveland Browns. I noticed a few things while watching it that add up and make me think he is going to do amazing. First of all he went eighty-fifth, eight five, Ocho Cinco! I love Ocho even though he is now Colt's rival. The pick before Colt was his "favorite target", Jordan Shipley, who went to Cincinnati. The second thing is the name Brown. Jim Brown announced one of the Brown's picks, Mack Brown announced the pick for Colt, Jenn Brown was the reporter with Colt, and Colt went to the BROWNS! I don't think that was planned. I'm ready for a Superbowl win. I'm thinking 2014 Cleveland Browns Superbowl Champs!

MLL in NC?

My younger brother, Greg, recently started a Facebook group called “1,000 Strong to bring a major league lacrosse team to NC.” The Chicago Machine, a major league lacrosse team, are considering moving to a new location. My brother, being a huge lacrosse player and fan, has taken interest in this, and he would like to bring them to North Carolina. During the month of May the Machines played a game here in Raleigh. My brother attended this game. He had been in contact with the president of the Chicago Machines, John Algie. My brother met up with Algie at the game and got to talk to him; my brother received a free autographed t-shirt. The Machines have been traveling around the country to try out new locations. It would be much appreciated by my brother and lacrosse fans across our state if you would join this group. The link is http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=125418964140144&ref=ts.

Awkward Names

Would you judge someone if their name was Crimson Tide Redd? Well, a couple who are die-hard Alabama fans named their son just that. It got me thinking of fun Texas themed names for my future kids. My brother and I spent most of dinner tonight making up names. My favorite was the name Mackenzie Brown after the Texas football coach Mack Brown. I want one of my sons to have the middle name Colt and another one to have the middle name Campbell after the Heisman winner Earl Campbell. Most people will probably think I would be crazy to name my kids these things, but I’m such a big fan I would do it anyways. I want to have a lot of kids (mainly because I want to organize family football games), so I’ll have plenty of opportunities to think of names.

My Favorite Buzzer Beaters of the Past Year

5. Kentucky vs. Mississippi State in the SEC Championship. Kentucky won this game after missing a 3 pointer and barely getting the recovery. It is slightly bittersweet because had they not made the shot Mississippi State would have gone to the NCAA tournament. They are the definition of a bubble team.

4. Evan Turner’s 37 foot shot in the Big 10 Championship. The Ohio State University point guard made the three pointer which won them the Big 10 Championship. They beat Michigan State with a 69-68 victory.

3. Murray State vs. Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA tournament. This game was one of the first big upsets in the tournament. 13 seed Murray State scored a last second shot to win the game 66-64 and upset 4th seed Vanderbilt.

2. Florida at NC State earlier this season. NC State was up with seconds left. Florida recovered the ball and Parsons shot it with a second left and made it. He was 70 feet away and swooshed the ball. I call that an amazing victory. It may have been against a not so good team, but they aren’t so good themselves.

1. Texas vs. Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship. If you didn’t catch that I switched it to football. This game would decide weather Texas would go to the National Championship or not. The game was very low scoring with switching off leads, but by the end Nebraska had taken the lead by 2. Texas needed a field goal to win it. With seconds left, the ball was snapped and Colt was in a pickle; he threw it out of bounds which left ONE second on the clock. The field goal unit was called onto the field and Hunter Lawrence kicked a 46 yard field goal. It was good by about a foot. This game was possibly one of the scariest games I have ever watched. But texas pulled through and won with a 13-12 victory.

However, the best all time buzzer beater was from 1994 between East Plano and John Tyler high schools. I have included the video below to watch the highlights from this incredible game.

And Let the Glitter Begin

Last night was the season premiere of Dancing With The Stars. I used to watch DWTS, but stopped about two seasons ago because it got boring. But this season the cast really caught my eye. The three people I was most excited about were Chad Ocho-Cinco, Erin Andrews, and Kate Gosselin. I am rooting for Chad and Erin, and I wanted to make fun of Kate.

If you didn’t know Chad Ocho-Cinco is a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and Erin Andrews is a sports reporter for ESPN. I think Chad is hilarious and Erin has my dream job.

I think both of them did very well last night, but out of the two Erin was better. They both danced the Cha-Cha. Erin wore a pretty yellow costume and was very energetic. In the opening clip she seemed to be very critical of herself as was Chad. Erin got mostly positive comments from the judges and ended up getting 21 out of 30 points. This was slightly above average compared to everyone else.

Chad also did the Cha-Cha. His outfit wasn’t very exciting, but I never realized how bald he was. I thought his dance was very entertaining and he was well put together considering he had to dance first. He got mixed comments from the judges and ended up with 18 out of 30 points. This seemed to be a common score last night, but I think he deserved higher. When he was being introduced the host said “He is a man that has made a name for himself. Literally, he looked down at his jersey and made a name for himself.” I thought that was pretty funny. I also can’t wait to see what his celebrations look like after this experience.
