NFL Football fans are hoping the NFL strike is winding down as both sides seem poised to settle it. Many people thought that it would end close to this time and I was one of them as well. The NFL and it's owners stand to lose a lot of money along with the players if they do not reach a deal. It's sad that it even came to this and the NFL fans had to sit through this, but hopefully it is about over.
It will be good to talk about football once again with the season basically only a few months away. The Hall Of Fame game is in August and that really is not too far away. If the NFL wants a pre-season they will need to settle by next week. Maybe soon we can start writing and talking about NFL football instead of the strike. There are really no winners in the strike and having NFL football again is what everyone wants anyways.

Whoa! Pirates Tied For First Place!
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been the laughing stock of baseball for much of the last 15 years, but that is not the case anymore. When the Pirates decided on Clint Hurdle you knew things would be changing, but no one thought they would change this fast. Right now, the Pirates are tied for first place and they have a lot of confidence in what they can do.
Jeff Karstens threw a five-hitter and Andrew McCutchen tripled and drove in two runs as the surging Pirates opened the second half of the season with a 4-0 victory over the Astros on Friday night. Andrew McCutchen has played well for the Pirates, but it has been the pitching that has carried the Pirates all season long. As long as the Pirates get good pitching and timely hitting it looks like Clint Hurdle has his ball club in for the long haul. Losing seasons seem to be a thing of the past now for Pirates fans.

Kyle Busch Wins At Kentucky
When Nascar put Kentucky on the schedule a lot of promises were made about what great racing this track would provide. The truth is last night it was a very boring race that Kyle Busch won. He led 125 of the 267 laps to win for the second time in three days. It was mostly single file and follow the leader which is not racing in my opinion. Another drawback was around 20,000 fans never made it to the event because of a massive traffic jam on I-71. I have traveled I-71 many times and this should not come as a shock to anyone being it is a two lane highway in that area. Hopefully, the racing will improve and they can fix the issues they had in the first race their.
