Regardless the reason if you must be somewhere faster and perhaps closer than regular airline travel get a private jet charter.

Ross Everett — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 07:23:45 +0000

Heading into last Sunday, there was a consensus that the New York Giants were the best team in the NFL with an undefeated record, a productive offense and the league's top ranked defense. The New Orleans Saints made a compelling case to the contrary, however, as they dismantled the Giants to win 48-27 behind yet another MVP-like performance from quarterback Drew Brees. Brees threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions as New Orleans kept their record perfect on the season at 5-0. The Giants dropped to 5-1 with the defeat.

On Sunday, Favre and the Vikings answered those critics in the best way possible-with a lopsided 34-3 beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys. Favre threw 4 touchdown passes in the victory and the Vikings' defense sacked Dallas QB Tony Romo six times in the blowout.

Ross Everett — Wed, 19 May 2010 07:57:19 +0000

The NBA All Star game was played without a couple of high profile participants this year as the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson would not play due to injury. Kobe and 'AI' were the latest in a string of injuries to All Star players that also claimed Portland's Brandon Roy and New Orleans' Chris Paul. The NBA has been much more strict about attendance at the All Star game since a number of players skipped out with dubious injuries.

What I Don’t Like About Dodgeball

Paul Harris — Sun, 16 May 2010 07:14:29 +0000

I understand a lot of things in this world. One thing that I just do not understand, though, is dodgeball. How is dodgeball fun? It consists of kids pelting each other with hard balls! I don't know why this is a game, to me it is a publicly endorsed form of violence.
