The Voice of the WORLD of SPORTS

Fans,
To tell you the truth, I should be playing right, middle, left forward for the Deutchland National Team in this years 2010 World Cup. But believe it or not, I ended up with a passion of drilling my opponent to the mat until they count the lights on the ceiling while being PINNED! I didn’t start wrestling until I decided to hang up my cleats and pursue a dream as an individual. Why: because you can focus more and be your own boss without having to worry about others except your families!
Now that I have succeeded myself in a dream that I always wanted which was because I followed the Lords prayers since it’s always answered by him. Noticing myself surrounding the right people whose been therebefore such as Steve Fraser ‘84 Olympic Gold Medalist, Momeir Petiovik ‘76 Olympic Gold Medalist, Greg Gibson ‘88 Olympic Silver Medalist, Rodney Smith ‘92 Olympic Bronze Medalist, Bruce Baumgartner 5x Olympic Medalist, Zekes Jones Olympic Medalist, Kendal Cross ‘96 Olympic Gold Medalist as I can go on with the list. These are the wrestlers that I either worked with, trained with, mentored by and many more.
Now that I have made it this far to 2000 Olympic Central Regional Trials, 2004 Olympic Regional Trails, finally the 2008 Olympic Team Trial as the only and first deaf wreslter to do so! My era is not over as yet because the Lord is continously providing me strength until I reach to the top of that podium at 2012 Olympics.
Hoping some of you athletes have the same aspect that I do and if you have any questions or need some wording I am here to assist. God Bless

Ron Artest Post Game Interview

Now lets take time out of our busy day to recap EVERYONE  Ron Artest thanked in his SHORT interview…

• Everybody in his hood.

• The World Wide Warriors, I guess?

• His wife.

• His family.

• His kids.

• Everybody.

• His doctor, Dr. Sandy (?).

• His psychiatrist, who really helped him relax a lot and apparently told Ron he would make a 3-pointer. This may be “Dr. Sandy,” but that is unclear.

• ESPN sideline reporter Doris Burke.

Who would ever think Tiger could loose it? I question if it’s the time he’s been off or the over hyped scandal between him and his many mistresses who may have him still mentally drained. Watching Tiger for years now, seems to me he’s missing his cat eyed focus stare that he usually displays. I understand that his publicist has him transforming his image, which all celebrities or athletes that have committed a public act that “WE” consider a crime are force to do. Well, let’s recap! 

Woods’ tournament performances so far have not shown his dominant game play. Since tying for fourth at the Masters, Woods missed the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship, withdrew from The Players Championship, then tied for 19th on June 6 at the Memorial, where he was the defending champion but never contended.

Before Woods’ personal scandal surfaced this past fall, 2010 had been deemed a big year in his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major championships because three of the four majors were being played at venues (Augusta National, Pebble Beach and St. Andrews) where Woods has won seven of his 14 majors.

I can only wait, hate, or congratulate him for his past accomplishments, which still has him projected to be the “Best of All-Time”, or wait to see if he comes out of the woods and wins the U.S. Open! I choose neither, patience is a virtue. Sport 4 Thought

Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics???

What can we say about this 21-year-old phenom?? 

We can say he is already in the history books for the Major League Baseball league.  Stephen Strasburg’s historic 14-strikeout debut for the Nationals was timeless. Baseball critics are wondering if Strasburg will be  the new face of Major League Baseball? Talented is an understatement and how he conducts himself as modest veteran is natural. “We will have to see his consistency throughout the year, before we believe in him, ”Screams fans after his first game”. 

Having a struggling season last year, the Nationals franchise needed a hero that could build the city of Washington back  up. Before the arrival of Strasburg the Nationals were 14th in their league in attendance last year, ahead of only the Marlins and Pirates. A new day has come and it’s showing on and off the baseball field, they have a great opportunity to finish strong in there division. ”The future for us is now, not in a couple of years. It’s here, Nationals slugger Adam Dunn says”.  Food 4Thought

South AFRICA  Stand UP!

Tip your hat for South Africa! Expecting to lose against Mexico, they fought and survived with a winning spirit. Everyone knows they would never be invited to participate in the 2010 World Cup if they weren’t hosting it. Siphiwe Tshabalala’s 55th-minute shot sent most of the 84,000 crowd into an uproar, which carried on through the entire game. I’m routing for Brazil, but hoping for the underdogs to wither the storm!

 This is a monumental time for South Africa! Desmond Tutu, who has said the World Cup will have as big an impact for blacks as the election of U.S. President Barack Obama, brought his dancing shoes to the game while wearing the scarf of Bafana Bafana (The Boys). The road  for South Africa will only get harder, but for now allow them to enjoy this glorious day! Sports 4 Thought

Will we ever see as much hype for another basketball player or athlete again in the history of sports? Lebron’s at home watching the playoffs and we are still worrying about this entrepreneur / basketball player. No I am not saying he’s not great and all! Yes, we all want him to play in the world games instead of sharpening up his acting skills.

I just can’t understand how his where bouts and where he will be playing next year (Chicago Bulls) is more important than the NBA finals and the Lakers organization winning its 16th championship. Look it up, I am counting all the chips they won when they were the Minneapolis Lakers.  Maybe, I can’t understand because I’m too worried about the Lakers or I would rather say Derrick Fisher stopping Ray Allen….?
