Brett Favre and Terrell Owens for the first time practice as members of the Seattle Seahawks at the team’s training camp. With Shaun Alexander in Green Bay now the team turns to a new veterans themselves in Priest Holmes who spent 2008 out of football to mentor 3rd overall pick Knowshon Moreno
People have joked around about the age of Seattle’s offense but only time will tell if they can stop the laughter.
Meanwhile Matt Ryan wants to stop his sophomore slump with the Ravens as they add Tony Gonzalez as a new toy to play with.
“Ravens are serious Super Bowl contenders if they upgrade their receiving core.” tends to be a common opinion for folks around here.

NCAA FOOTBALL 2009 KICKOFF WANT TO EXPECT
CBS SPORTS .COM
We are almost a month away towards the opening of a new College Football season and a new opportunity for college legends to be born.
Here’s what the top returning teams look like
It is very likely that the defending National champion Gators will debut at number 1 despite the loss of Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin but a new quarterback comes in trying to follow the shadows to Tebow in redshirt Junior Cam Newton one of the top ranked quarterbacks of the 2007 Recruiting class now has the chance to prove himself as the next great Gator quarterback.
The runners up of the 2008 season might see a fall from grace with a completely new linebacking corp and a quarterback to replace 2008’s Heisman winner Mitch Mustian in a battle that could of had Mark Sanchez coming back but he rather decided to skip on his college football days and try to get really for the NFL by playing with the Arena Football League’s Los Angeles Avengers. 2009’s top ranked quarterback prospect Mark Barkley and Aaron Coup will battle for the starting quarterback job but it’s unlikely they will replace the legacy of Mustain.
Texas and Oklahoma are teams to look out for with many more of there team coming back especially quarterbacks Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford.
Ohio State hopes Terrell Pryor will end up shining as he is the 3rd place for preseason Heisman favorite among Sam Bradford in the first place and Colt McCoy in 2nd Place.
As fall camp starts and schools get ready to start class again it definitely feels like college football is back in the air!

“MICK IS A BASEBALL’s FANS DREAM FILM AND LEDGER’s GREATEST ROLE YET.”
NEW YORK TIMES. COM
Mick is a biographic film that Yankees and baseball fans have dreamed for and one of Heath Ledger’s greatest roles yet.
The film showcases the life of legendary baseball slugger Mickey Mantle played by Mickey Mantle with appearances by Paul Newman who plays manager Casey Stegal, Ben Stiller as his teammate Whitey Ford and Ashton Kutcher who surprises in his role as rival slugger Ted Williams.
The film also showcases his post life hardship such as his battles with alcohol and his brief ban from Major League Baseball in the early 1980s.
We ever saw neat cameos by current Yankees legends Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez as news reporters.
Overall this movie should be a fine front runner for “Best Picture” at the next Oscars.

I mean that never really bothered me so much but I guess ITTL it will be butterflied away for a few years.
That was the moment i knew Nick was going bad when they changed their logo. I was born in 1989 so I essentially grew up with 90s-early 2000s nick shows such as, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Aaaahhh! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, etc. Once those shows got cancelled I knew Nick was gonna go into decline. But when they changed their logo it was like my childhood had died and now all they seem to air is the loud house (which is ok but not great) and SpongeBob (which I FRICKIN HATE)
I’m leaning towards that one but who knows what I think by the end of this TL?
