Big game players


The chicago bears are now 2-2 in there season. They seem to be ahead in all their games going into the fourth quarter, only to be caught by the opposing team. But not last night, and not their first game. The deciding factor seems to be John Madden. On Sunday night football the bears play their best, their defense is unbeatable, and their offense plays well enough that their defense can compensate. I don't understand why, the bears just seem to be to be a big game team. If you look at kyle orton's stats, they go up considerably during sunday night. Last night for instance, Orton threw for 3 touch downs, breaking his all time record. This seems a small feat after looking at Brett Favre throwing 6 touchdowns, twice as many as Orton. But it still shows me that now, we have a quarterback that we can count on, sometimes.

The second coming



As Many people know, the new seasons of many hit shows come out this week. What most people don't know is just how many of these new shows are just copies of previous shows in years past. The picture to the top of this text is a photo of the show called Knight Rider. This show will appear on this coming Wednesday, but what is interesting is that this show previously aired more than 20 years ago. Coincidently the old Knight Rider premiered only two days after the new one is set to premier, but 26 years earlier.

Another hit show that people watch now is American Gladiators. This show is also almost 20 years old. When I asked an parent about what they think about this new show, they responded, "I think it is funny that they bring this show back, because originally, most people thought that it was a joke. And that the networks would bring it back, is just showing that they are running out of ideas." In my opinion I believe that this person is right. I think that the networks are just losing their creativeness to create new shows. Either this, or there are just not enough ideas to make new shows. The problem is that many ideas have already been made. There is just not that much originality any more because when you think of an idea, someone just tells you that the idea is just to close to another previous idea. I dont blame the networks for their recreation of many of these shows, but if they are going to survive the next few decades, they need to bring in a few fresh minds.

I have a better GPA than Joe Biden


On this post I am going to talk about the presidential educations. But to back track a little to another candidate, Joe Biden. Do you know that he graduated college from University of Delaware. When he went there he was described as lazy from his professors. Not only this but he finished 506th out of 688 in his class. Next, lets talk about john Mccain. I know he did not finish high in his class. He actually finished very low. But he also went to the naval academy. At this college, he stood up for people being bullied. His professors described him as hard working and honorable, though they also said they trouble seemed to find him.
Many people just think that you have to have a Harvard degree to be president but really, in my opinion, all you need to have is common sense. And maybe a little knowledge on the country. But all the talk of needing to go to an elite school is just garbage. Many people are just as smart as a Harvard Grad, and they went to community college. The fact is that people need to stop looking at their previous education and start looking at who they are as a person and what they are going to do for our country, not where they are going to hang their Harvard diploma.

Maybe just a fluke



For many in the chicago area, seeing the Bears beat the Colts on the road was the best thing they had seen in a few years. Almost all of Chicago thought that the Bears were back and that we were super bowl bound. But after yesterdays performance, I am not so sure any more.


Once again the defense showed up but this time Kyle Orton just could not perform on the spot. On a crucial 3rd and 1, Orton audibled from a run up the middle, to a screen pass that almost got intercepted. Not only this but earlier in the game, Orton had Marty Booker wide open for what would of been a touch down, but instead, he over threw him by 5 yards.


The fact of the matter is that the bears still do not have a quarter back. Over all the years, the bears have always had one problem, quarter back. And when we had a good quarter back, we won the super bowl. To bad he got hurt every year other than that. I belive that until we get quarter back who can consistently get a 90 or above passer rating, we will never win the super bowl.

The pitbull with lipstick

Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and the soon to be Vice President of the United States. But what people dont know is that she will get a she will get a percentage of the vote that has never been considered before; the house wife vote. Many think that Sarah Palin is just a leader, but she is so much more that that. In her life, she has not only been mayor, she has been a PTA member, a hockey mom, and and special ed mother. So much has been done in her sted that I believe that the Vice Presidential fan favorite will be a lock. I also believe that this will give McCain a big bump in the polls and that he will end up victorious in the 2008 election.
