Football Season

2008-07-20T08:22:16-08:00

It’s right around the corner. In fact. it’s so close I can smell it. With that said, My early prediction on the year is that this season is going to be all about Seattle. It’s Holmgren’s last year as head and his last chance to be the first coach to win 2 rings with 2 different teams. They are in it to win it this season. With that said, I’m sure there is some NFL fans on here somewhere so let’s here what you guys think. Early predictions for the ‘08 season? I wanna hear ‘em.

Favre?

2008-07-15T21:23:00-08:00

All the sports talk lately has been about if Brett Favre is going to come back and play football. Is he actually going to come back and play second string to Aaron Rodgers or will the Packers actually grant his request to release him so he can play for whoever he wants? For those NFL fans out there what are your thoughts on this? I personally think he is going to come back but only if the Packers grant him the release or trade him to another team. If they don’t then I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Favre remain in retirement.

NFL Star Saves Life

A California man says Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs kept him from choking to death.

“Tony saved my life. There’s no doubt,” Ken Hunter, a shipping company manager, told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Huntington Beach, Calif.

“Tony came up behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Thank God he was there.”

Gonzalez, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection who has set numerous NFL records, was having dinner with his wife, brother and 5-week-old daughter at Capone’s restaurant in Huntington Beach Thursday night. Hunter, 45, was dining with his girlfriend at the next table when suddenly a piece of meat stuck in his throat.

“I tried to take a drink of water, but I couldn’t swallow,” Hunter told The AP. “Then I couldn’t breathe. That’s a terrible feeling. I couldn’t breathe. Then I guess I started to panic.”

Gonzalez, sitting with his back to Hunter’s table, looked around when he heard Hunter’s companion yelling.

“She was screaming, `He can’t breathe, he can’t breathe,”’ Gonzalez said by phone from California, where he lives in the offseason. “The whole restaurant was quiet. Nobody was doing anything.”

Then I saw he was turning blue. Everybody in the restaurant was just kind of sitting there wide-eyed.”

The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, about a foot taller than Hunter, jumped out of his chair and came up behind the stricken man and began to perform the Heimlich maneuver.

“After just a few seconds, the piece of meat popped out,” Hunter said. “I could breathe again. It’s a good thing Tony is so tall because I had stood up— I think.”

Diana Martin, a restaurant employee, said no one else seemed to know what to do.

“He was so lucky Tony was there,” Martin said. “In a situation like that, every second counts. It helped a lot that Tony’s a big, strong guy because you have to be able to apply some pretty good pressure. I don’t think I would have been strong enough to help him.”

Hunter went into the restroom to clean up and didn’t realize he’d been saved by a famous athlete until he came out.

“I’m a big NFL fan and I recognized him right away. I was still kind of dazed when I went over and thanked him and said, `What can I do for you?’ I guess I said it about 1,000 times.”

Gonzalez, who has been active in charity and community activities during a brilliant career with the Chiefs, said he had no intention of having the incident become public.

“The next night I had a dinner for my grandmother’s 90th birthday, and people were saying, `Why didn’t you tell me about that?’ I honestly don’t want to make a big deal out of it. But of course it does give me a lot of satisfaction to know that I was able to help somebody.”

One of the most productive receivers in pro football history, Gonzalez holds the NFL record for tight ends with 820 career receptions and 102 catches in a season. He needs only 79 more yards receiving to become the career leader among tight ends.

He has never received any formal instruction in the Heimlich maneuver.

“I had seen it done, so I just did it,” Gonzalez said. “When you find yourself in those situations where you have to take action in a crucial situation, you just do it. I got the same feeling I get when I go on a hospital visit.”’

Hunter is a lifelong fan of the San Diego Chargers, one of Kansas City’s key rivals in the AFC West, and plans to be at the game when the Chiefs visit the Chargers on Nov. 9.

“I’m Tony’s No. 1 fan now,” he said.

And what will this longtime follower of the Chargers do if they’re ahead by four or five points in the final minute and Gonzalez runs into the end zone and leaps up for what would be the game-winning touchdown for K.C.?

“I’m going to be yelling for Tony to catch the ball,” Hunter said. “I think all my friends will understand.”

Hey everyone! So, will you be watching the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games that will go from August 8, 2008 to August 24, 2008? I most certainly will because well, the Olympics are so amazing and the talent and skill of everyone is stunning. For certain events, I’ll be watching out for swimming and seeing Michael Phelps, haha, he is a fantastic swimmer, it is breathtaking to watch him swim! Other events I’m looking forward to will probably be diving, track and field and maybe gymnastics. If I’m bored that day, I’ll probably end up watching whichever event is broadcasted.

Are the Mariners the worst team in Baseball?

2008-06-17T09:34:33-08:00

The title says it all. I think they are. If they’re not then they should be. I live in Washington and not too far from Seattle. I just went to my first Mariner game in years and it just looked like they weren’t even trying. It was very disappointing. Let me know what you all think.
