Sports are for the athletes to do and for us to watch

I am, very much, a worldly sports fanatic. I love baseball, but in the sports list of things I like to watch and stay on top of are also, soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, racing, playoff hockey, cycling, rugby, and Aussie Rules Football, among many. So when big things happen in sports across the pond, I usually find out about them before most. Today was no different.

Recently, I just beat Need for Speed: Most Wanted on my Gamecube and it was fun. I’ll probably beat it again at some point, but in the mean time here is my review of the game.

NFL MVP: Manning or Manning?

As Superbowl XLVI draws near, I stop to ponder who will be the NFL MVP. There are a select few in the race to begin with: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Aaron Rodgers. But I’ll submit to you that Peyton Manning should be in the conversation as well.

The MVP award is an award given to the most valuable player in the league. Who was that this year? Let’s take a look shall we…
