NFL combine

I feel that the NFL combine is to commonly used as a huge predictor of where a player will get drafted. They have played in college for four years and I feel that should be the main factor in where an individual gets drafted. The combine is a collection of different events in which every player in the draft is expected to take part in and whoever shows for the combine is to take part in every event. If a player is suffering from an injury or illness their times and numbers will be affected.

Intramural Basketball

Last night was the final game of my teams intramural season. I love to compete in many intramural sports, but might enjoy basketball the most. Im sad that its over, but still have some soccer games left including the playoffs. I like to stay active and feel that intramurals is a great way to do so. I look forward to each game and wish the seasons were longer so we would have the chance to play more games.

Redbox

Redbox is a new way of renting movies. They are located at Giant Eagle's and I am not sure where else. It is a machine that you can rent movies from and the charge is only one dollar a day. I really enjoy watching movies so I feel that this is a great invention. It makes the rental process so easy and you can even look online to see if the movie is available at the location you plan to rent from. I think that this will give movie rental stores a loss of some business.

Dance Class

Tomorrow we have a presentation in dance class. I have not had much experience with dance prior to this class. I was nervous upon taking this class, however the teacher has made it as comfortable as possible. I still have to get my costume together for tomorrow. I am nervous and hope that everything goes alright.

March Madness

The best time of year for college basketball is coming up in a couple of weeks. The 64 team tournament is my favorite thing to watch and the hype that surrounds it is incredible. This tournament gives teams that are do not usually have their games shown a chance to be in the spotlight. I like that fact that any team can make it to the tournament as long as they win they conference tournament. I always like to see the underdogs make it far in the tournament and also Pitt and North Carolina. I look forward to the tournament and plan to spend alot of time watching the games.

Roger Clemens

The other day the Roger Clemens trial was on TV. I watched parts of it throughout the day, and can't seem to figure out who is lying. Roger Clemens is seen as one of the best pitchers to ever play the game and with these allegations his career is already starting to suffer. If he is found guilty his reputation will be ruined and records will be ignored. I would really feel bad for him if these allegations turned out to be false as it would have caused his family and friends alot of grief. However if he is found guilty I would have lost all respect that i ever had for his playing ability.

New Cable

A couple of weeks ago my roommate and I upgraded our current cable package to a hd package with dvr. The upgrade did not cost much and the difference with the hd channels is amazing. Over the summer i had bought a new hd tv and then i figured why have the tv without an hd picture on it. The dvr is one of the greatest accesories for tv's. It allows you to record shows or even rewind live tv. I like the convenience of being able to record shows when i know that i wil not be home to see thm when they are on. One thing that surprised me was the number of shows that it can hold. It it such a convenience to not worry about missing a show or game on tv and being able to just record it.

Intramural Soccer Week 2

Last night my team had our second intramural soccer game of the season. It did not go well, and actually went worse than our first game. Our goalie ended up walking out at halftime from all of the criticism from the team. I felt bad, but there was nothing that I could have done. We played much better in the second half, but had already dug ourselves too large of a hole in the first half to make a comeback. I still had fun and am looking forward to next weeks game because i feel that we can turn things around.
