How Bout Them Cowboys??

As I sit down for my traditionally untraditional Thanksgiving meal this year, I am faced with a conundrum happened across by many a vagabond sports fan. As is tradition, Thanksgiving is inundated with the sights and sounds of professional football. My dilemma, however, is not what to watch, rather, it is a question of who to be pulling for as mounds of turkey and stuffing are being shoveled into my extremely grateful face. With my traditional, “always leave room for pie” sweatpants on, I am faced with a decision between hometown heroes and childhood chums. Yes, it is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traveling to Dallas, Texas to take on America’s Team, slightly less known by the moniker, the Dallas Cowboys. I grew up with those Cowboys. In fact, as I’m watching the pre-game proceedings, my mother is rustling through a distant closet in an attempt to find my hand-knitted Cowboys helmet I donned as a tot watching countless Cowboy games. It was the kind that came down

Advertising

Egyptians used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters. Commercial messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Arabia. Lost and found advertising on papyrus was common in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another manifestation of an ancient advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. The tradition of wall painting can be traced back to Indian rock art paintings that date back to 4000 BC.[4] History tells us that Out-of-home advertising and billboards are the oldest forms of advertising.

As the towns and cities of the Middle Ages began to grow, and the general populace was unable to read, signs that today would say cobbler, miller, tailor or blacksmith would use an image associated with their trade such as a boot, a suit, a hat, a clock, a diamond, a horse shoe, a candle or even a bag of flour.

(NECN: Boston, Mass.) – Everything is just about set for Friday’s Winter Classic at Fenway Park, when the Philadelphia Flyers come to town to take on the Boston Bruins. The ice rink was constructed on the field of the oldest and smallest park in the majors. Tickets are sold out, but you can still get online and find tickets starting at around 0. They range all the way up in price to 00. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are charging high schools 000 to play a game at the rink. Some coaches for area high school teams are complaining that they have been priced out of the market. According to The Boston Globe, so far, only wealthy private schools have dished out the money to play. A Red Sox spokesperson says the fee just covers costs.

THIS BLACK FRIDAY WILL BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MOST!  November 20, 2009.

The day after the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., known as Black Friday, traditionally marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season in the U.S.

It’s said to be the biggest day of the year for retail sales. It isn’t. As far as actual sales go that honor usually goes to the day before Christmas. But Black Friday is the busiest day for store ‘traffic’. Retailers open early, sometimes several hours early. Prices are slashed on popular items. Crowds line up early, sometimes camped out all night to be among the first in line to get at the bargains.

The term ‘Black Friday’ originated in the 1960’s in Philadelphia, and referred to the traffic jams on the streets. But over the last 20 years it has come to mean the day when many retailers see their profits move into the

U.s. Hockey Hall Of Fame, The Game Must Go On

The cases were payment from President Barack Obama who bet Harper that the U.S. men’s hockey team would beat Canada in the gold medal game at the Vancouver Olympics. The taste of victory for Canada must have been sweet. The 3-2 Olympic overtime U.S. upset against Canada on February 28 still lingers in the minds of many U.S. hockey fans. It was so close. Despite the disappointment, the U.S. men’s hockey team played well and had a great run. The game must go on.

The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame is still accepting nominations from the public for the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2010. USA Hockey called last year’s class one of its best classes of inductees. The undefeated 1998 U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team represented by team captain Cammi Granato won the first Olympic gold medal in women’s hockey in Nagano, Japan, defeating number one team Canada, twice. The team was credited with being a major contributor to the growth of girl’s and women’s hockey in the

When It Comes To Sports – I’m Blacked Out

Can someone explain to me why it seems almost every professional sports team has either changed their colors, added to their colors or adopted the dreaded alternate uniform, in BLACK!

It is a trend that quite frankly has irritated me for quite some time now. I know I shouldn’t be that concerned with such trivial matters as the color scheme of a few pro sports teams, especially in light of all the financial and political chaos in this country, but I am. Sports are about tradition and tradition has always been about building something meaningful and being proud of what you are and where you come from.

I did not reach my level of concern without first trying to understand and adapt to the current trend in pro sports apparel. I considered that black may be slimming and, that alone would be a legitimate reason to adopt the color. However this method of reasoning soon left my mind when I gazed upon Warren Sapp looking just as fat in Raider silver and

Watch Nhl Hockey Montreal Canadiens Vs New York Islanders Online

Jaroslav Halak looks like he’s got the starting job sewn up for the Montreal Canadiens if they can make it to the post-season.

The Habs goalie is riding a two-game shutout streak heading into New York on Tuesday.

Montreal can do itself a favour with a win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday, but the team wouldn’t mind if two of its most bitter rivals help out with a couple of wins of their own because the Canadiens can clinch a playoff spot if their rivals come through.

The Habs’ recent success starts and ends in net, as Halak notched two big wins for the Canadiens over the weekend. On Friday, he stopped 35 shots in a masterful performance against Philadelphia as Montreal rode its goalie to a 1-0 victory.

The 24-year-old followed that up a day later with a 29-save shutout during a 3-0 win against Buffalo.

“He made no mistakes,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. “I think we could have made it tougher but you’ve got to

We Wish You a Merry March Madness

It’s the night before the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and not a creature is stirring. All the brackets have been filled out with care and visions of buzzer beaters and Cinderella teams dance in our heads.

The snacks are ready to go in the fridge and the email claiming you have laryngitis is written and ready to send to your boss.

For sports fans, the NCAA Tournament is a lot like Christmas. In some ways the tournament is better because you can’t watch 12 hours of basketball on December 25th and there’s no fear you’ll receive a fruitcake.

The 2009 tournament has the possibility to be one of the best in recent memories. Any of the top four seeds, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Connecticut and the North Carolina Tar Heels, can cut down the nets and the field-of-65 is replete with sold, well coached teams.

Even the two seeds are strong this year. The East’s number two, Duke, has the best RPI in the country and

No Bully Policy at Philadelphia Schools

Philadelphia Schools has a “just say no” policy, when it comes to school bullies and other related negative student behavior.

Approximately, two thirds of all deaths among children and adolescents in the United States are the result of injury-related causes. These include motor vehicle crashes, unintentional injuries, homicide and suicide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 126 students committed a school-associated homicide or suicide between 1994 and 1999. Of these students, 28 committed suicide, of which eight intentionally injured others immediately before killing themselves. None of these students were involved in gangs.

The suicides, now referred to as “bullycide”, were attributed to school-associated violence, including bullying and other such social stressors. Though the 126 students may seem small for a national statistic, this is only the tip of the iceberg. It does not address the number of students who
