Brett Favre, proof old dogs just won't die.

Brett, Brett, Brett. Here we go again. So for those of you that haven't heard the lastest adventure in Favreland, Brett Favre is now a Minnasota Viking. A team that before, had been his arch nemisis for years and years. So what would cause Brett saying only a few short weeks ago that he chose to stay retired to change his mind suddenly? Is it the fact that he is still bitter against his former Green Bay Packers and wants to make them pay before he decides to call it quits, or is it money?
Personally, I think its neither. I think that the guy just loves football. I think he's crazy and he is going to end up horribly injuring himself in the process but you have to give the guy credit. He loves the game. But I do think that part of it is the fact that Green Bay did treat him unfairly and he still harbors resentment. I mean come on? The guy played there for like ever and would have probably retired there if they would have let him play but nope they had to let him go. But I don't blame them either. When you have a young quarterback that you spent a lot of money on that has been waiting for years to get his chance and Brett keeps changing his mind about being done, yeah I would probably have done the same thing.
Who knows what will end up happening. For all we know Brett could end up playing amazingly well and taking the Vikings to the superbowl. That is the good ending. Then again, AJ Hawk could find a little hole and deliver a ground shaking sack and it could be lights out for Mr. Favre. All things considered its going to be one heck of a football season.

District 9

I just want to say that I have been a sci-fi fan for quite a long time since I was a kid. My dad was a hardcore trekkie which was always my forte (star wars was never my thing after i got past 16) I forsaked show for a deeper story which i always felt Trek was better at instead of focusing on one character (Anakin) it focused on a whole universe of characters. I went into District 9 expecting a lot. Harry Knowles from Aint It Cool News had been pumping it up constanly since Comic-Con and he has never led me astray and I was excited. I wasn't even close to expecting what was delivered. A wonderfully crafted story around aliens, sociology, and how we would deal with them as humans. This movie not only delievers as a great sci fi film with kick butt robot suits and guns that make people explode which are totally amazing, but it touches to the deepest emotional human senses. It shows how messed up we are as a race and what would end up happening if we ever made contact with a peaceful alien race that meant us no harm we would treat them like poop and take advantage of them just to get their stuff. I have never seen a movie like District 9 on film before. When I saw the newest Star Trek I was blown away and every movie this summer that I have seen after has had to live up to its expectations. District 9 raise above them to a point where i think nothing else will ever pass it.

Human rights Vs PETA

Alright so here it goes this has been building up inside of me for a long long long time and I don't know if its just me or common sense that all the liberal PETA-ites just seem to be void of but I am going to rant. So for those of you that have heard Michael Vick signed a one year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles after spending almost 3 years out of the NFL, 2 of those years he spent in a federal prison serving hard time for leading a dog fighting ring out of his house in Virginia. But also, the dogs that lost the fights were being killed by various different means I will not go into. But anyways Mike served his time appointed to him by the court and also the punishment by the NFL at the time. While he was in prison Tony Dungy a strong christian man and former coach of the Indianapolis Colts came to his prison and not only visited him but mentored him and gave him advice on life and how he was going to live it after he got out of jail. And he showed remorse. At no time since he has gotten out of prison has Michael Vick not seemed to be sorry for what hes done. The commisioner re-instated him to the NFL because he felt he was sincere and allowed him to look for a team. So he found one, and what happens? All the crazy left wing groups that would rather fight for a house pet then a human soul are foaming at the mouth. He should be suspended and not allowed back in they say. He's an animal killer they say. Hmmmm....really? Lets change focus for a minute. I don't know the exact date but Browns WR Donte Stallworth was drunk while driving and struck a person walking in the street. This person died. He killed someone, a living breathing human being okay not a dog. This isn't something that can't talk, drools on it self and pees on your carpet, this was a living breathing feeling human being. So Stallworth got his sentence the other day, the judge says he can still play football, but he was sentenced to 2 years "house" arrest and 8 years probation. Thank God for Roger Goodell because he automatically suspended him for the entire 2009 season. But come on! Has our system become so corrupt and so degrading that it gives someone who kills dogs prison time and someone that kills a human being "house" arrest. Maybe I am just bias with my strong Christian conservative upbringing that has taught me to value human life at all costs. You dont see people going crazy at abortion clinics or outside Stallworths house demanding jailtime or that the doctors that commit the travesties on unborn babies be tried for countless cases of cold blooded murder. No. Instead we are left feeling sorry for animals who have no human feelings. Don't get me wrong. What Michael Vick did was cruel, wrong and he deserved some sort of punishment even though i think 2 years of prison is a bit extreme but the guy has done more then enough to pay for his wrongdoings. So the next time you see him on tv or sunday playing ball before you judge him or point fingers remember there are people out there getting away with murder while we sit comfortably in our homes. Doing nothing about it.

Hey everybody!
