Chad Pennington Comeback Player Of The Year Again



It seems that Chad Pennington is making it a habit of being named Comeback Player Of The Year. Back in 2006 he also earned that award and it was with the New York Jets the team that cut him this year. This year has been special for Pennington who wanted to be the New York Jets quarterback, but when they brought in Brett Favre he was released and found a new home in Miami. It was bittersweet for Pennington to leave New York because he enjoyed his time there.

Last Sunday though Pennington was all smiles on his return to New York as he help the Dolphins win the AFC East and knock his old team out of the playoffs with the quarterback they chose over him. I guess it all comes around and for Chad Pennington it has come full circle and now he is Comeback Player of The Year and getting ready for a playoff game in Miami.

PGA Tells John Daly Take 6 Month Vacation



The PGA apparently was not real amused with John Daly antics lately as they gave him the boot for six months. The suspension is really not surprising considering the year that Daly has had so far. He continues to get into trouble and when you are playing golf under the PGA umbrella that really is not a very good idea. Lucky for Daly today is the last day of the year and maybe 2009 will be much better for him.

It is amazing though to me that a man like John Daly just a few years ago was a promising player and now he is almost out of golf totally. It happens and he is perfect evidence of it. If you do not do the right things you can be on the outside looking in. Just ask John Daly.

Dwayne Wade And Heat Spoil Lebron's 24th Birthday!



Lebron James celebrated his 24th birthday yesterday in Miami and scored 38 points in the game, but it was Dwayne Wade who was all smiles at the end. Wade and his Heat beat the Cavaliers by a score of 104-95. Wade scored 21 points himself and after the game gave James a hug and wished him a Happy Birthday. It had to be fitting for Wade who right now is neck and neck with Lebron James for MVP honors if it would end today.

Wes Welker Fined For Snow Angel



Leave up to the NFL folks again to do something stupid and this time Wes Welker paid for it. The NFL fined him for making a snow angel after he scored a touchdown in the first half. His fine for the snow angel was 10,000 dollars. I have to admit the NFL is getting out of hand. I mean where is the fun in football anymore. I can understand a fine for taunting someone or a late hit, but a snow angel.

The NFL needs to bring back the fun in the league and stop handing out fines for such small things such as a snow angel. I guess the funds were getting a little low and they needed the extra revenue to close out the year. The NFL needs to get real and realize it is a game that these guys play and some fun needs to be involved.

Lakers Stop Boston And Streak In Process



The Boston Celtics had hoped that they could take their streak to 20 straight games, but Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol had very different ideas on how they wanted to do things. Bryant tossed in 27 points and Pau Gasol hit baskets down the stretch when the Lakers needed him to and came away with a 92-83 victory. The Laker players probably had this date circled for a long time after losing the Championship series to the Celtics in June. For most people this was a game that would tell a lot about the Lakers and it did. they would not let the Celtics push them around and they came to play.

For the Celtics it was their third loss of the season and they will just regroup and move on. They knew they would not win every game the rest of the season they just want to play well night in and night out. They have done that so far this season and as long as they keep that up they should have no problem at all being the team to beat once again.

Christmas Party Games And Decorations Make The Holiday Festive



If you are like me nothing can get you in the Christmas holiday spirit more than a few drops of snow and putting up your Christmas Decorations. Every year it seems companies are coming out with something new to make us say wow and that really is part of the fun of Christmas. From flashing lights to air powered Globes with Winter scenes inside nothing seems off limits for our yards when it comes to Christmas.

Finding these are almost as much fun as putting them up. One of the best places I have found is Celebration.com. They have a very vast selection of Christmas decorations along with some great Christmas Party Games that will keep the family enjoyed for hours. Everyone knows Christmas has always been about families and that will never change.

Bucs Lose Title Hopes



The Carolina Panthers used the two prong rushing attack of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart as they rushed for over 300 yards and a 38-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The win puts the Panthers in sole possession of first place in the NFC South and control their destiny as far as division titles go. The Bucs had no answers for the Panthers running game as the offensive line of the Panthers blocked well and Williams and Stewart made many Buc players missed in the open field as well.

You have to give Carolina a lot of credit as they came in with a good game plan and did what they needed to do on a National stage. For the Bucs this was the worse I have seen them play all season long, but you will have games like this. All you can do is move on from it and learn from your mistakes. The Bucs still have a great shot at the playoffs so they still must keep that in their sights as well. There still is three games to play and you never know what could happen.
