All Time Sports Moment

As a member of the Air Force, I flew missions over the 2001 World Series games that were played in New York to make sure another plane didnt try and crash into the stadium the way they did the WTC two monts earlier. I wasnt at the game technically, I had no idea what was happening on the field because I was 22,000 feet above it flying circle patterns but seeing that stadium shine thorugh all the other lights of New York City, in the wake of what just happened and knowing I was playing a miniscule part in making that happen, is by far my best sports moment.
Most Memorable Game Attended

The One I just mentioned with the ultimate nose bleed seats 22,000 feet above the field.

Congrats on a hard fought game on Saturday, your boys came up but nonetheless played with an incredible amount of heart and pride. Good luck the rest of the way my friend.

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

The Michigan/Notre Dame game has the feel once again of a typical rivalry game. Both teams look good last week, but see what the Irish NEED to do in order to be successful for a second Saturday in a row. Don't be shy, even you Wolverines!

Hey guys, if you would please read this article on the comparison between Vince Young and Tim Tebow.

This is actually the most important piece to me that I have written, so I kindly ask that you give your feedback on the situation, and help with the promotion of the article.

Thanks as always guys,
