Go Gators! Florida takes the SEC

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Don’t be a Hator. Go Gator!
I’m not much of a sports fan but I do consider myself a Florida Gator fan. When I was in high school in Ocala Florida the football rivalry was between the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs and for me the choice was easy.

I’m a Gator!!

If the sound of the current typically comes before the actual crash of the waves, the Florida Gators couldn’t help but hear it all week.

How the stakes of a national championship semifinal would create a fourth-quarter classic instead of another Gators blowout. How playing Alabama wasn’t simply about stats or execution but about who could impose their will in the most physical nature. How special players always prevail.

That’s when wide receiver Carl Moore got a feeling about his quarterback.

“I knew [ Tim Tebow] was going to step up big time, I just knew it,” said Moore, who caught the first touchdown pass of Florida’s 31-20 win over Alabama. “Everyone in our locker room knew that he was going to win this for us at the end of the game.”

O.J. Simpson gets 15 years in prison

Friday, December 5th, 2008

O.J. Simpson was convicted and sentenced to 15 years. This is the saddest brother in the whole world. This  man got away with the crime of the century as it has been called and he ends up screwing it all up in Lucky 13 years. How funny is that?

I saw the family of Ronald Goldman, the boyfriend O.J. killed with his wife Nicole, on the news boasting about how they had hounded him into this. Seems a recent book deal he had set that they were able to shutdown was the last straw and financially he was done.

He orchestrated a robbery that he claimed was an attempt to recover his own personal effects and the people he brought along had guns and held a sports dealer in a hotel room in Vegas. The judge cut him some slack and could have easily sentenced him to much more. He faces a maximum of 33 years and is eligible for parole in 9.

O.J. spent a fortune to hire  the dream team of lawyers who were able to manipulate evidence and the jury into an acquittal on a case with DNA evidence. I might start writign to him in jail because I just have to hear what happened and how he didn’t see he was being setup.

Simpson’s conviction came October 3, the 13th anniversary of his controversial acquittal in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman.
