Terry Bradshaw

In 1969, Terry Bradshaw was considered by most pro scouts to be the most outstanding college senior. As such, he was the first player selected in the 1970 National Football League Draft. It took the 6-3, 215-pound Louisiana Tech graduate a few seasons to adjust to the pro game but once he did, he became the dominant quarterback of the NFL and led the Pittsburgh Steelers to eight AFC Central championships, and an unprecedented four Super Bowl titles in a six-year period from 1974 to 1979.

Tracy McGrady

is an American professional basketball player, currently positioned at starting shooting guard for the Houston Rockets in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is commonly referred to as "T-Mac," and he can also play the small forward position.
Entering the league after graduating from high school, McGrady eventually became a seven-time All-Star. He led the league in scoring in 2003 and 2004. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic before being traded to the Houston Rockets in 2004. McGrady was ranked #75 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of All Time in 2003. McGrady has never advanced to the second round of the playoffs in his ten year-career despite his seven trips to the playoffs: one with the Toronto Raptors, three with the Orlando Magic and three with the Houston Rockets. McGrady's style of play has been compared to that of George Gervin
Tracy McGrady played high school basketball at Auburndale Senior High School in Auburndale, Florida for three years. He then transferred to Mount Zion Christian Academy, in Durham, North Carolina. He would have attended the University of Kentucky had he not entered the NBA right after high school. McGrady created a national buzz after his performance in the Adidas ABCD Camp, where the best high school players in the U.S. are invited annually. He was named High School Player of the Year by USA Today.

Heinz ward

Heinz ward a eleven year vet from the university of Georgia he originaly was a quarter back but when he came to Pittsburgh he switch to wide reciever. He has lead the league in receptions multiple times, he is also a multiple pro bowler. He is known for being one of the toughest recievers in the league he makes the toughest blocks on his defenders. You could never tell if he is serious because throughout his entire career he keeps a smile on his face. In the 2006 season when Pittsburgh won the super bowl he recieved the MVP award (most valuble player)

Troy polamalu

The starting strong saftey for the Pittsburgh Steelers is in my eyes one of th best at his position currently and for years to come. He is in like his fifth year out of the university of Southern California(USC). He is already a multiple pro bowler who hits tremendously hard. He is like an entire defense because he makes plays all ovet the field. I think he is honestly one of the best players to ever play the game.

Bad Cops 3

Recently a African American Chief from I think New York was sitting inside his car, when two white officers with lower rankings tried to pull him out of his car. He told them that he was a chief and he even showed them his badge they continued to say they didn't believe him. They said that his badge was fake and he got out of the car, and one of the police officers where tried to yell out "gun". I don't really know wat really happened after that. I do know the two officers where suspendid but it's just the principle of the whole thing, predgidous officers all over the entire country. I hope one day we could all get over this situtation because it is too dangerous

bad cops 2

In Philadelphia three men were pulled over, and pulled out of their vehicle and they decided the African Americans who were siting on the ground were not following their commands. Eighteen police officers beat the three unarmed for several minutes. I think it was so unneccessary for all of that it resembled a olderknown situation where a single guy got the same treatment Rodney King. Again none of the accused officers were sentences for what reason I don't know but I think thats un fair.

Bad cops

Last year a young african american with the last name of bell was comming out of a night club a day before his wedding, causing no problems but a couple police officers felt different about the situation. So they decided to shoot at him fifty times, they claimed he had a gun but after the merage of bullets it was clear that he didn't have any weapons. Even if he did have a gun I don't think it would've taken fifty bullets to dis arm him. Then when he was in the hospital the doctor was about to give his mother some information there was a police officer inside and he gave him a eye then the doctor changed his mind and said that he was able to. None of the police officers were even charged.

20 straight wins

My favorite NBA team the Houston Rockets went on one of the longest game winning streaks(20 games). I watch Basketball but not that often I could only watch it when its a meaningful game like the playoffs or when one of the franchise players are playing. I like to watch when there is going to be alot of spectacular dunks and alley oops are going to accur. I didn't get the chance to see any of the games in the streak because I wasn't paying attention to the NBA. Im still happy because we made it to the playoffs.

Change of thoughts(kind of)

Before I left to college I basically had my mind made up that I wasn't going to join any ferternities. When I came here and got a chance to see all of the probates and I got a chance to get a better understanding of everything from pledging to the benefits of the entire process. I thought twice about it and I think I could actually be intristed in pledging one of them. Im not really sure which one I want to join or if I am goin to join period.

Ben Rothlisberger accident

Following the goal of being the youngest quarter back to lead a NFL team to a championship victory "Big Ben Rothlisberger", got into a motorcycle accident during breaking his nose and jaw. He was left in serious condition I was frieghtened I didn't know if he would be ready for the next season or anymore seasons to come. He did play the following season and started I think fifteen of the sixteen games we played. I don't think we even made it to the playoffs that year because we looked so sloppy and I think he even hurt his shoulder that year it wasn't a good year for us finishing up with an 8 and 8 record.

2006 World champions

In the 2006 NFL season the Pittsburgh Steelers were the world champions. It was suprising because we had a second year quarter back starting who no one really knew about. He came from a small divison one school miami(ohio) but there he broke a lot of records. That year we had a lot of close games, including the confrence game against the Indianapolis Colts when we were up by less than a touch down and Jerome Bettis fumbled on the goaline and one of the Colts almost returned it for a touchdown and Ben Rothlisberger saved the day.

fifth round pick

Another standout pick was our fifth round pick who suffered a harsh injury midway through his senior year. The number one quarter back out of Oregon Ducks Dennis Dixon an extremely moblie quarter back with a great arm. He would've origanly been one of the top quarter backs out of the draft if it wasn't for his knee injury he suffered. In a selfish way im happy he did, but honestly im not because I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I am happy that we selected such a great talent.

first round pick robbed

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint early Monday morning, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune. Mendenhall’s mother, Sybil, confirmed to the newspaper that her son was one of two people robbed along the city’s lakefront at about 2 a.m. Monday morning. “He didn’t get hit or anything, he didn’t get hurt or anything,” Sybil Mendenhall said Monday afternoon. “He’s fine.” He had recently returned from the team’s three-day minicamp. Sybil Mendenhall said her son had his wallet and cell phone taken by the robbers.

2008 draft overall

I think our draft this season was ok, compared to recent drafts. I say that because we would never get any premier position players and this year we happened to get two of them. What I didn't understand is why we didn't pick up any of the corners this year. We really need more corners because previous seasons it was kind of like our weak spot on defense, but we still managed to stay in the top five for those years.

fourth round pick

Our fourth round pick was one of the most important and suprising because a guy who I thought would go in the first or second round went in the fourth. Limas sweed a big wide reciever from the Texas longhorns one of the top divison one schools in the big 12. We really needed another reciever because when our running game wasn't working we didn't really have big gunners to pass to. Now I think we do have a nice recieving crew to gun with now.

2nd and third round pick

I dont really know too much about our second and third pick all I know is it was a line backer and a line man I know we are always in need of a line man but we also could use line backers too. Especially because we just lost one of our premier line backers. I dnt know why he left but what ever the reason is it didn't make me happy

First round pick

In the first round of the NfL Draft pick I wasn't aware of who we might of been looking for to draft. I thought it would of been a offensive linemen because Thats all we seem to pick up in the draft for the last couple drafts. I was suprized because we picked up a good running back. We really need a second back because last season our first string running back got hurt our second picked up a little, but I think we could use another just in case.

Ma boi Broadway

recently one of my gud friends was shot and killed back home in a gang related altercation. The bad thing is since I was up at school and really jus nto talking to anyone really back home I didn't find out untill like a couple days later it was devastating because he was a gud guy, I know one thing he will be missed more or less R.I.P Broadway!!!

Freeman bomb threat

Being that I live in Freeman hall on campus I know how boring Freeman hall really is. I thought to myself why woul some body threaten to bomb Freeman of all places, no one is hardly ever ovver in this area. I would've been mad if it did happen, because all of my belongs are even if I wasn't here.

student center bomb scares

When the student center got treatened I was so hungry it wasn't funny, I was more angry then scared of the threat. So while I was waiting for the student center to open up I was walking around the campus with a couple friends of mine trying to come across a free meal. We came across a female serority who was happening to be giving out cupcakes so we pretty much took them all. For some reason we didn't believe that there was a bomb inside anyway and it wasn't.

six flags....

six flags is one of the worst amusement parks to attend economically because the prices of everything is boasted every year. I used to go to six flags every weekend well not really, but i went very often now you couldn't even afford to go one time unless your really living comfortably. A slice of pizza at six flags costs seven dollars a single hotdog is three dollars, a funnel cake is seven dollars. Next time your considering going to an amusement park cancel out six flags unless your wealthy.
