Steve McNair

Normally there is a big divide in our house hold over the purpose of anything sports related. Basically my husband sees the historical significance and statistical importance of a game – I see a bunch of overgrown children (eh..men) reliving their youth by throwing an object made of rubber/animal skin. So needless to say that the murder of Steve McNair should have basically gone unnoticed. However, I have to say, sadly this story has a little of something for everyone. Murder, Romance, Tragedy, Sports Legacy…it is all there. But what I want to discuss is what no one else is.

Well we are all saying it in our heads but not out loud. Because every wife….everywhere…WANTS to say….”See!?!? See what cheating gets you!?” Not to say that he deserved to be shot in the head, or in the chest…(Personally I would have okayed a mild beating from her own family member (father, son, brother, etc.) but not what he got.)

But I have to say there is a snideness to the commentary when I talked to any woman that is aware of what is going on. (Which frankly in my clique of women this story is referred to as “that football guy that got shot by his girlfriend because he was cheating on his wife and MOTHER OF HIS FOUR KIDS. (Insert explicative here).”   Frankly, that’s just the way we roll: we could care less about the impressive work ethic on the field or his overall passing yards. We don’t care what his arms, legs, or throwing shoulder could do…cause we are all focusing on what other parts of him did. Everyone close to the family claims that the wife did not know at all about the girlfriend….Yeah I can believe that because oh I don’t know…maybe she was really busy raising HIS FOUR CHILDREN. (Although I don’t care who you are, professional athlete should always be a red flag.)

Anyway, here is the question of the day…as the widow what do you do? I mean she has GOT to be FURIOUS – does she go to the funeral and say all nice things? Do you express any sort of anger? I like to think I would be classy about it but I think I would be slipping right and left in that eulogy. My comments would read something like:  “I will really miss his smile ..that cheating bastard.” “He was a wonderful husband…when he was not sleeping around with 20 year olds he met at Dave & Busters.” I guess you bite your tongue for the children that have already been disappointed enough by one parent…but how unfair that his wife has to not only endure the embarrassment, betrayal, and pick up the pieces of her children’s broken hearts – she can’t even say what she wants t?! She doesn’t even have the right to find out about the affair and yell and scream and vent.

What would I say? I don’t know what I would say if I was in the wife Mechelle’s shoes but I know at the end of the day…I think all I am going to say to my husband today is one simple word….”SEE?!”

Extreme Sports Videos: Every mother’s nightmare!

This is every mother’s nightmare. I just read this artcle about extreme sports and I know one of two things : 1. Either Max is going to kill himself by the time he is 8 or 2. He is going to make millions as one of these Extreme Sports freaks. 

Extreme Sports has always been the prerogative of only the crazy, baddest and the most dangerous to folks, and of course the rebels teenagers concerned about their anxious mothers and fathers. (read: Max) However, as with any developments worthy of mention, the history and variety of l Extreme Skateboarding Videos activities – also known as the action, adventure sports or dangerous – are more interesting that many people realize, and there are well-established organizations that can help you delve into their World adrenaline pumping almost as safe as any other hobby. The term ‘extreme sports ‘ was put into service in 1990, probably thanks to the first television coverage of events like the X Games. Many fans really dislike the term, arguing that most typical activities such as bungee jumping, hang gliding and ice climbing is not ‘sports ‘ in the sense of compete against each other to win something, and the ‘extreme ‘ tag just smacks From the mid 90′s, advertising hype. Whatever you prefer to call it, extreme sports is a loose and ill-defined, which may include the category large enough hobby as rollerblading, snowboarding and BMX biking (all activities that may involve elaborate flips, stunts and tricks), as well as more ‘Out-y ‘ activities such as BASE jumping, freediving, zorbing, swooping, kite Extreme Sports Videos, volcano gliding, diving sharks, octopus fight, df parasailing, cuckolding mafioso (alright, we ‘s not real). Just as some of these fall fashion – for example, the octopus fight is now considered cruel – new sports and clubs are growing all the time, even though many are tongue – in-cheek parodies extremes like the wheelbarrow and extreme ironing celebrated. Skateboarding and snowboarding, or ‘snurfing ‘ as it was originally called, have been popular since their creation in the 1950′s and 60 while kites can trace its origins to the thirteenth century, China when kites were used, like the sails on boats, to harness the power of wind and means to rationalize, one-man canoes to go much faster, for practical reasons, and not only fun! With so many choices and interest in these niche activities before, it ‘s not surprising that the industry is emerging around the education of extreme sports and adventure vacations, where beginners can learn the basics of a sport and then dropped their adventurous spirits in a supervised environment. These experiences might be the perfect gift for the ‘person who has everything ‘ n ‘you know someone who ‘ d rather spend their honeymoon in a cage in the Indian Ocean to begin large sharks White, admiring their new toaster? Don ‘t we all? What Extreme Motocross Videos bouncing down a hill in one of three metres, the ball transparent PVC, with or without an option to water, and other people on the inside? It ‘zorbing calls, and it ‘ seriously taking off as the latest way to spend a weekend of fun, of New Zealand in Bournemouth. Keep in mind that some activities should not be attempted by beginners; BASE jumping academy does admit ‘students ‘ having completed 200 skydives, and swooping, or of extreme skydiving ‘, is similar. As long as you ‘re clued up on this point, got all the necessary equipment, and perhaps make your life insurance is up to date, however, why not explore a new business today — the sky is truly the limit!

Oh my God are you kidding me!? And I thought I didn’t want them to play football because there was too much risk. ((Sigh))

Holiday Drama offers great lesson to all…
