Thats a whole lot of cheese!!

With yesterday drawings of the Mega Millions came to a close it was discovered that no one won it. Now the 304million dollar jackpot for Friday is out their causing a buzz to become an instant millionaire. Groups of people are pitching in money together to get this huge jackpot spending roughly 20 or 30 dollars for mega million tickets. What are the chances of you winning this amount of money? Its about the same as the Cavs actually winning a game.

With these odds against everyone playing the Mega Millions, people still have hope that they will win this large amount of money and potentally become set for life. I would not discourge anyone from buying a ticket 304million is 304million and would make a lot of people very well off and allow things that once was drempt about now a reality. So go purchase that one dollar ticket for the Mega Millions and you can be a winner for one of the biggest jackpots in history.

Game of the Year?

For those who have not played Dragon Age 2 I would say play it! This game is hands down one of the best games I have played in recent years. The game design is perfect in everything is crystal clear and runs very smoothly. The game play is outstanding in every aspect. This game, I believe, gives COD a run for its money.

When I was playing Dragon Age I could not put down the remote. The storyline caught my attention and I became engulfed in the game losing if I was in reality or in the game. Do not listen to others out there who say Dragon Age two is a horrible game, it lost everything from the Original Dragon Age it didn't its a great improvement from the first Dragon Age game.

I would say this game up there with COD with I would say better replay value then COD. Getting lost in world we drempt about as young childern killing wild beasts, demons, and saving a kingdom from doom. Dragon Age 2 should be played even by the most casual of players and you will respect the creativity BioWare hatched out in this game.

Things to make you laugh




Derrick Rose: The future of basketball

Basketball has a new icon and his name is not Lebron James. Oh no I am talking about Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. Derrick Rose has emerged as a superstar this season leading the Chicago Bulls to the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference ahead of the aging Boston Celtics and the "Dream team" Miami Heat.

Derrick Rose averages 24.8 points per game and 7.8 assists per game with 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. Those amazing stats are enough to lead the Bulls on a charge into the playoffs and potentally go the NBA Finals. I will admit Derrick Rose has a great cast of players around him which allows him to flourish and have an amazing season.

What is Lebron James saying now that he went to the Heat and have the third seed in the East.


Lebron James you had your chance to play for a winning teaming with great potential to win a ring, and if you don't you will be the laughing stock of the whole NBA, well at least the Cavs. Could of stayed there and done hell of a lot better then you are now ya dig?

So we shall see if Lebron James should of done, and what should he do. And if the Chicago Bulls destory the Heat in the playoffs. Only time will tell and what holds true for Derrick Rose and his superstardom.

Barry Bonds reappears!

Barry Bonds all time leader in home runs in the MLB passing Hank Aaron. All time leader in walks in the MLB, and other Hall of Fame stats. Yet these are getting over looked because Barry Bonds is currently on trial for perjury stating he did not use steriods and two he played in the steriod age.
For starters people how can say Bonds did or did not use steriods when all of the MLB during that era were using steriods. Players like Sammy Sosa, or Mark "Big Mac" Mcgwire potentally used steriods and they are not going to court. Mcgwire is on the Hall of Fame ballot and yet Bonds isn't. Barry Bonds has better stats then Big Mac and more awards. If anyone should be in the Hall its Barry Bonds.

I do not agree with the idea that these players used performace enhancing drugs to get better stats and better at the game of baseball, yet I do agree they should be in the Hall of Fame if they put up numbers that are deserving to be in the Hall.

In any case we should understand that every sport has a period of illegal activity, and we should understand and mark it in the history books. History like this should then be prevented to keep the integrity of the sport that we grew up to love and enjoy.

Japan: It's a natural thing

To those people out there who think either 1 God made Japan have an Earthquake or 2 the world is ending should probably do some reseach on earthquakes. Earthquakes for those who haven't paid attention in science class is a force of two plates rubbing together not God clapping his hands saying "Let there be an Earthquake!"

Secondly people, the world will not end. These ideas that the world will end in 2012 is a misconception on improper ideas of a text. Surly if the world is going to end then the Chicago Cubs must win a World Series in 2012. I mean that's the only way Hell will freeze over and the Earth will collapse and then I say the world will end.

And those people who believe that God answered you prayers to "open the eyes of the none believers" think of all off people you are affecting. Your religion is not the best and everyone is entitle to think what they want to think and you shouldn't pose your ideas on them.

I will conclude this in saying people please help those in Japan by donating money, blood, or anything you can possibly spare. They need it very much and they will be very grateful if you can help them out.

Minnesota Twins: Bigger goals

Move over Chicago White Soxs, The Twins are back and ready again. This season, the Minnesota Twins look healthy and better then they have looked in recent years. For starters, their big bat Justin Morneau should be back in full action from his concussion July 7 against Toronto. Hope are high for this team with a healthy offense. One of the key concerns for this team will be starting pitching. A few of the Twins starters had minor surgery in the offseason questioning their health during the longer baseball season. Do not be surprise twins fans that Minnesota makes key trades during the year to improve their starting rotation as well as their bullpen. Another key showing during this Spring training, Joe Nathan work load is now increasing. Will he become the closer after last season Tommy John surgery? We have to see how Nathan the staff and Nathan respond. I would say he is ready to return to his control as Minnesota's closer.

Twins Fan prepare for a deep playoff run this year. With a healthy offense and increasing healthy pitching rotation, I wouldn't be surprise if the Twins make a run like the San Francisco Giants did in 2010. Do not worry about the Chicago White Soxs, they will stand no chance this year.

NFL Lockout

With the NFL lockout looming ahead, fans are wondering will there be a 2011-2012 NFL season?

NFL owners generate roughly a billion dollars in ticket sale and team wear. Owners like Jerry Jones who created a multi-million dollar arena will possibly lose their investment towards their team. A lost season as well would hurt the NFL. Last year the league grossed in about 100billion dollars, and any money saved will be lost with the Anti-trust law suit players are filling like Tom Brady, Payton Manning, and Drew Brees. These players are on a mission for all the wrong doings of the NFL. They goin' find you league you can run and tell that.


What does this mean for the new rookies coming to the NFL? These kids will get drafted and possibly not play lose a good season to learn and grow as professional. The league will be looking towards the FIFA to have no pay limit and allow to pay any price towards their star players.

We will see what will happen in the months to come. Lets hope the NFL gets their head straight and have a season.

Charlie Sheen vs Roger Ebert #WINNING

(via ReposDelight)

Sometimes, Mr. Ebert, you just need to know when to say when...

Flu aftermath jeopardizing Peavy's next start


GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jake Peavy arrived at the White Sox Camelback Ranch complex on Friday still suffering the aftermath of a serious bout with the flu, thus putting his scheduled Saturday start against the A's at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in jeopardy.
Peavy said White Sox coaches told him they were contemplating his immediate future, and he didn't like what he was hearing.
"I thought it was a go, 100 percent," Peavy said hours before the White Sox were scheduled to play the A's in a late-afternoon game here. "But I think we're going to talk about it. I would love to stay on schedule and stay with it."
The right-hander is still hoping to make his fourth start of the spring as he returns from experimental surgery last July 14 to reattach the tendon that anchors the latissimus dorsi muscle to the rear of the shoulder.
"Hopefully I'll get better over the day," Peavy said. "I'm still having trouble with my stomach, keeping food down. You all know what I'm going through. When your stomach is uneasy and you can't put food in, of course you're going to be weak. But I have stayed hydrated. They gave me some IVs and bags of fluid the past couple of days, so that goes a long way in helping you feel good."
Peavy, though, did appear tired and out of sorts, his eyes heavy. He last pitched Monday against the Padres, his former team, and tossed a spring-high 67 pitches, allowing six hits and three runs in four innings. He hadn't thrown a ball since, but hoped to at least play catch on Friday.
Peavy is on a specific program of building arm strength toward the regular season. He had been told he might be out for a year after the surgery, but is at least four months ahead of schedule.
"We certainly like to throw between starts," he said. "But honestly, it was all I could do to get out of bed yesterday just to get into see a doctor to where they could put fluids in me. If you can't get out of bed, you can't play catch and do the things you need to do, but at the same time I'm going to go out there and see what we can do today. I'm just going to try to play catch and see how my body feels, and see if tomorrow is a smart thing to do or maybe out of the question. We'll see how it goes."
San Diego's 15th-round pick in the 1999 First-Year Player Draft, Peavy didn't want to leave the Padres when he was shipped to Chicago at the witching hour of the July 31, 2009, non-waiver Trade Deadline. He owned a no-trade clause in his extended contract, and earlier that season had nixed a deal to the White Sox.
But ownership was converting from majority holder John Moores to a group headed by Jeff Moorad, and he made it clear that the club could not afford the $63 million in guaranteed money remaining on his contract. Under intense pressure, Peavy relented.
Peavy arrived as damaged goods, with a tendon injury in his right foot. Then, trying to pitch with it, he suspects he blew out his shoulder last season. He has made only 20 starts for Chicago, and was tentatively projected as its No. 5 starter with the possibility of pitching against the Royals in Kansas City on April 6.
Peavy said on Friday that his shoulder still feels fine, perhaps the best since he won the National League Cy Young Award and the pitching Triple Crown with 19 wins, a 2.54 ERA and 240 strikeouts during the 2007 season.
Peavy went fishing and then to dinner on Tuesday's off-day and began to feel symptoms later on that night. This spring, Peavy is 0-2 with a 3.72 ERA, three walks and five strikeouts in his three starts, covering 9 2/3 innings.
Now he is facing this setback.
"I was in bad, bad shape there," Peavy said. "For the first 24 hours I didn't leave a cold little spot on the bathroom floor. It wasn't pretty. I think we've all been there, but I haven't been sick like that in quite a while. I was as sick as I have ever been in my life.
"My body feels real achy and weak right now. But like I said, if it was up to me I certainly would like to go out there and pitch, and stay on schedule to do that."
