The Fallen Angel.

Michael Phelps has done the country and his fans injustice and he is getting a pass on it. Phelps has "Peed in the Pool" so to speak with his juvenile antics at The University of South Carolina. Marion Jones was stripped of her gold medals because of drugs so why shouldn't Phelps. Drugs are drugs no matter what drugs that you use. What is good goose is good for the gander isn't it. NFL Players can be suspended for a year for using a over the counter drug. So how many counter can you get weed from. What is he doing at a party in South Carolina anyway? We cut Joakim Noah head off for doing this last summer when he was hanging out in Gator nations with a joint. We all said this is the reason that he isn't living up to his hype. Chris Duhon was made into the "bad guy" Chicago when he was late for the Chicago Bulls shoot around. So why do we let our golden boy off with three months suspension with no pay. He makes more with Rosetta Stone and other endorsements. Phelps was the story in the Olympics, not the Redeem Team, not the High speed runner from the land of Marijuana, it was the medals that Phelps earned for his country. How many people could tell you every member on the Redeem Team? I bet you a person who doesn't watch sports knows how many Gold medals Phelps won last summer. He had the Two Biggest stars in the NBA(Kobe Bryant and Lebron James) attending his meets. Mainstream media knew nothing about Lil Wayne, until Phelps told the world that he listens to the best rapper alive. Now Lil Wayne has a rock album coming out, he is the voice of the new Gatorade commercials, he was on ESPN's First and Ten battling Skip Bayless thanks to Phelps and his endorsements. So tell me how important Phelps mistakes are to this countries fabrics. He should be stripped like Marion Jones it's only fair.

Rules Are Made To Be Broken, Or slanted

I have never watched a Superbowl where I felt that the official decided the outcome of the game. Two calls on Pittsburgh's last drive made it clear who was suppose to win. Both teams fought back and forth until the final whistle. Unfortunately the whistles were blowing in favor of a particular team all game long."The roughing the passer" on Karlos Dansby and the "Running over the holder" by Adrian Wilson was the end of a remarkable season for the NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals. I neglected to mention that Kurt Warners (the fumble) last play was a questionable call; that should have been reviewed by the officials. I thought that any questionable call within the last two minutes of a game will be review by the booth. The roughing the passer by Dansby was a horrible call because the defender was one step away from getting the sack when Ben Roethlisberger released the ball. What is expected of the defender, when Roethlisberger was breaking their tackles all game? WHAT ABOUT INTENTIONAL GROUNDING that the refs so convently didn't call against the Steelers on the last drive. The officials stated that the quarterback was outside of the pocket area well, that is not totally true. The Pocket Area: Applies from a point two yards outside of either offensive tackle and includes the tight end if he drops off the line of scrimmage to pass protect. Pocket extends longitudinally behind the line back to offensive team’s own end line. Ben was not outside of the tightend and no flag was thrown. It may seem as if I am not a Steelers fan by my rant and this is true, I'm a Football fan that wants to see a fair contest between the best teams. The NFL should really take a close look at their officiating for next season because, you can rest assured that millions of others felt the same way that I did about the game we love.

Fly Higher Than His Eagles

If anyone said that they predicted this NFC Championship Game, they are lying. The two teams(Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles) with only nine victories on the season battling to represent the NFC in the Superbowl , I guess Kevin Garnett was right when he said, "ANYTHINGS POSSIBLE"! So, if that is true what is the possibility of Donovan McNabb retuning to the Eagles next season? Slim...really slim. His relationship with the people of Philly has been more of a love me, hate me, thing instead of the brother love which is the cities motto. Starting with the Boo Birds on Draft night of 1999 (Hate me). He's also lead the Eagles to five NFC title games... (Love me). The Superbowl birth in 2005...(Love me). Feud with Terrell Owens in 2006 (Hate me). The Drafting of Kevin Klobb in 2007 to eventually replace McNabb (Hate me). Second half benching against the Baltimore Ravens , which he had to learn of this from a janitor (Hate me). The 48 to 20 victory over the Cardinals( Love me), who they will face in this weekends title game. I forgot to mention that McNabb didn't know the overtime rule (really Hate me). The Hate me's outnumbered the love me 5 to 3. So do you really think he will continue his career in the same city where they chucked snowballs at Santa Claus? I believe that McNabb has to do what every superstar has done in Philly...leave. Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson loved the city but the fans didn't always feel the same way about them. Barkley and Iverson received more brotherly love once they were gone but, back to McNabb. He has won 41 more regular season games than he has lost in his career as the Eagles Quarterback. McNabb has never thrown more interceptions than touchdowns in a season either. Does anyone remember that he was the Eagle Offense in 2000 by leading the team in rushing with 629 yards while completing more than 58 percent of his passes? Donovan has 104 more touchdowns than interceptions in his career. If Donovan McNabb takes the Eagles to the Superbowl he should look for a new team to finish his career with, because he would never be truly loved more in the city. The only place he could go in Philly is down after his 10 year run. Despite the many critics of McNabb he has lead this team to the conference title game and they arguably the hottest team in the NFL. His stock hasn't been higher in his career so he should take full advantage of it and leave.
