Women's Professional Football Is Here

Here at Blogging Sports Network when we join Twitter we have met some wonderful people, but we also got associated with something that we did not even know existed and that is Women's full contact Professional Football. Now before you think this is some kind of gimmick it is not these ladies take their job just as serious as men and want to be the best football players they can be. They work out hard and go through drills to become better football players just as colleges and the pros do as well. We will be following the progress of the league, but one team that we will have our eye is the Lone Star Mustangs as we have kind of adopted them as our favorite team in this new league. The league the Mustangs play in is the Women's Football Alliance which has many teams so go grab your favorite and root them on.

I think that this is something that we have needed for a long time and give women a chance to show they can play the sport of football as well and that their dedication for the game is very high as well. I will keep you posted on my favorite team the Mustangs along with other teams and the league throughout the season. The Lone Star Mustangs will have their first scrimmage against the Austin Outlaws and the East Texas Sabercats on March 21 2009 in Waco Texas at 12PM. If you can catch it please do. Check out their site below.

Myspace at Lone Star Mustangs and their website is located at Lone Star Mustangs. Check the sites out as well as catch a few games this season and see why women's professional football is here to stay!

Matt Kenseth Proves Daytona No Fluke

Matt Kenseth took a lot of heat from everyone about how the Daytona 500 ended and how he won. Kenseth kind of took it personal and was on a mission Sunday to prove people that he could win a race on his own without any help from the elements which is exactly what he did. Kenseth took the checkered flag at California to win his second race in a row while Jeff Gordon finished second and Kyle Busch was third. Tony Stewart finished eighth and continues to do well as a driver and owner.

Dwayne Wade Drops 50, But Orlando Routs Miami

You would think when a guy drops 50 points on your team the game would be very close, but that was not the case for the Miami Heat when they played the Orlando Magics Sunday Night. Dwayne Wade tossed in 50 points for the Miami Heat, but it was Orlando who came away with a easy 122-99 win over the Heat. Dwight Howard had 32 points and 17 rebounds for the Orlando Magic in the win. Rafer Alston who came over in a trade from the Houston Rockets have really made a big difference in Orlando who knows they will not get All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson back this year.

Maryland Comes Back To Shock North Carolina

After bad losses to a number of teams Maryland got 35 points and 11 rebounds and 10 assists from Greivis Vasquez to beat North Carolina by a score of 88-85 in overtime. Maryland had there first triple double in 22 years and it could not come at a much better time as they needed a win against a quality opponent as they have not played well lately. Maryland's coach Gary Williams have come under fired this year for not getting the job done on the court and recruiting, but this win has to be special for him and his program. I guess we will have to see if this gets his team going or if it was just a lucky game for Maryland.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors cannot show jurors three positive steroid tests and other key evidence in the slugger’s trial next month. This is just another setback in the Barry Bonds trial for the Feds. It seems from day one that they have botched this case and now this is something that is not going to help them at all.

Right now it seems that Barry Bonds and his team have the upper hand and the way it is looking he could walk from this. If he does it really would not surprise me at all. I mean many people are not going to testify against Bonds especially the ones the Feds need so it is going to make it tough on them. I guess we will just have to see how this all plays out in the end.

Tiger Woods Returning To Golf

Tiger Woods will be returning to golf with the Accenture Match Play Championship to defend his title. Woods has been out for a long while and I will bet he cannot wait to get back to live action. As for his fellow golf professionals they probably wish he was gone longer as beating him will be a very tough challenge for them.

Everybody though that is associated with golf from the sponsors to television will be very happy that Tiger Woods is coming back. The ratings for Golf has taken a nose dive since Woods has been gone and I am sure it will see a big upswing when Tiger returns. No matter if you love or hate Tiger Woods the truth is we always tune in to see what he will do next.

Washington National Player Faked Name And Age

The Washington Nationals are not very happy with one of their top prospects named Esmailyn “Smiley” Gonzalez who they signed when he was just 16 years old they thought. he camed from the Dominican Republic and he he wound up leading the rookie-level Gulf Coast League with a .343 batting average in 2008 and was honored as the league’s MVP.

Major League Baseball has been do some investigating and they have found out he is not Esmailyn "Smiley" Gonazlez in fact he is older and his real name is Carlos David Alvarez Lugo. The Nationals gave him over a 1 million dollar signing bonus based on who they thought he was. Now Washington is still looking at their options and what would be in their best interests.

Now this has been a growing problem in recent years as players want to come to Major League Baseball and many times it is very hard to prove who they actually are. Yes, maybe the Washington Nationals did get duped, but the bottom line is they got a very good player and he still plays for them. I think they just want some of the signing bonus back. I am sure there is plenty of other Latin American players playing right now that could have done the same thing you just do not know anymore.
