Shame. - 4
How many NFL stars can be put to shame? Don't even get me started. We all know the infamous story of Michael Vick. But Sometimes reputation covers up somes faults. I am a die hard steelers fan, but i'm also a journalist and my job is to tell you what you need to know. We all know Ben Roethlisburger. The steelers amazing quarterback, one might even say he's in the top five of what he does. But does anyone know what he's like off the field? Being a quarterback one would think "Oh! the playmaker! Hes gotta be pals with the whole team!" But Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward would disagree. The two pittsburgh players say that Ben is socially ackward and rarely ever is socially active with the team off the field but if you though it couldn't get better, it does. Ben has always been known for his victories on the field. Most know about how the steelers lead in superbowl wins. But most forget about that motorcycle accident in 2006 or the two recent sexual assult charges? Yes. Interesting what a good rep could cover up. Though Ben's mistakes could ruin one of the best teams reputations. The request for Ben's DNA is no longer here but the charges still stand. you might ask what does his team think about him? Well he hasn't been proven guilty but when they asked Mike Tomlin (head coach) he responded “He’s a ridiculous competitor. A good guy. A guy that wants to win. A guy that doesn’t mind toting the burden that comes with being the quarterback of our football team. Really, what you see is what you get, from my perspective.” But the fact is all he could talk about is ben's performance. No one knows what ben does on the weekends and a player that has no social relations with the team doesn't even sound like some one who's on the team. One of the best QB's on one of the best teams may have just ruined it's Rep.

Second Super Bowl... Woman Style? - 3
- 4Yes it appears the woman of the world have joined together in a pastime that relaxes them and of course has its own version of the superbowl. Were woman gather on the couch with chips and salsa betting who's going to win and in the end some will cry some will jump up and spill the dip on the couch and some will run out into the street and cry YES, YES! and what feminine pastime is this? The bachelor, season finale. So if you call racing (emotionally of course) for a bachelors love against other woman a sport you are totally correct. Now theres not much to recap. Theres this guy who is "Hot" but somehow is unable to find that "connection" in the real world. What better way to fix this then to send a bunch of pretty woman into a house and videotape them oogling this guy and after seeing him take his shirt off they make that oh so special connection with this man. Finally this male will pick one of the top three prettiest girls and so "oh, uhm, we had a special bond." and the best part is millions of women tune into to "the final rose ceramony." and call it there superbowl. There ya have it.

Sports World meet Techies. - 2
Most of you know that when a bunch of jocks come together (like the MLB) to buy tech equipment well we can all guess that there not gonna make the brightest decisions. Until today? Yes finally the jocks got one right. Discovery News was happy to inform us that MLB is out 54 million dollars in order to buy shirts. Not just any shirts, electronic shirts. These shirts were bought right at the beggining of spring training perfect timing. These shirts can analyze the pitchers form and such. The shirts can reduce injury and and keep athletes in good form. The shirt was devolped by the people at northeaster engineering, Marcus Moche being one, Alexendra Morgan, and David Schmidt being the others. Moche describes the shirts ability and tells us "The shirt can be used to show when a player becomes fatigued and his mechanics worsen..." if thats not cool tell me what is? The shirt has three sensors which are located on the bicep, the forearm, and the lower back and they all measure acceleration and more and are sent by the pitcher and the catcher. The shirts been done before but nothing like this. You could wear this shirt on game day. while other shirts were tested in lab settings. The amazing part is that the shirt is machine washable which pleases coaches, players, and players wifes. The shirt has fewer wires but the next step is to make the shirt wireless. I can't wait to see the shirt in action.

Its not that hard to sum up the winter olympics. As most will agree, it is not as good well the summer olympics. They come to an end with a beautiful ceromony after a most interesting olympic games. When it comes to totalls its quite nice to able to say that america with 9 golds, 15 silvers, and 13 bronze, has the most medals in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Not only do we have the most medals but we have the most medals by the largest gap. We lead germany 37 medals to 30 following is canada by 26. We were beat in gold medals by Canada and germany. Germany beat us by one medal and Canada by 5 and norway managed to tie our 9 gold medals. I'm assuming you americans want to know our gold medalists?
