Sandusky... Just Another Case

Things like this have happened over and over and over and over. Whether it is true or not, we will never know. We will never know if Ben Roethlisberger actually raped two women. We never never know if Michael Jackson actually molested little boys. We will never know if Sandusky did something similar. But we do know that they all have one common factor. It all ends up being about money. It's never about what happened, its always about how much money the "victims" will get out of it. Money is power, and these big stars have a lot of power. "Regular people" don't have enough money to pay for all these lawyers and to bail themselves out of jail. The more money you have, the longer you can stall the case. That's why cases like the Hernandez case are still going on. Half of these cases would have been done a long time ago if there was not a lot of money involved. It's not just professional athletes and coaches. It's whoever and wherever all the money is.

Should NFL players be forced to speak to the media? There has been lots of talk since Marshawn Lynch has been fined 50,000$ for not talking to the media for the whole season. Is that fair? Why should he be forced to speak to the media? Some people are just not comfortable going up and talking to people. Especially when its for the NFL, and its being recorded for people to see... forever. There are many players who love the spotlight and love to answer the media's questions. Why force the ones that don't to do it as well?

Joey D all around Athlete.

 More and more people are beginning to play sports. A lot of people choose one sport that they love and stick with it. Joey D has been a part of three different sports. "I have played basketball, baseball, and football. All these sports have brought great moments, but Joey D has one that he especially remembers. "My team beat the all time single game scoring record for Pop Warner football." That is a great achievement to have reached and one to always remember. Playing in three different sports brings that many more chances to get injuries. We asked Joey D if he had suffered any major injuries and he said" Yeah, I have broken four bones in my right hand." The hand is one of the most important tools in your whole life, and a major factor of playing many sports. To be able to go through that, and continue doing what you love, knowing the risks is always incredible. Joey D has had his fair share in big games, so we asked him what its was like to score in one. "It is a good feeling. It feels like the camera is on you and everyone is cheering for you. It gets you excited and even more pumped up." Many athletes experience something that they call being in the zone. We asked Joey if he ever experienced it and he said, "Yeah, in a game of basketball I banged 13 three pointers in a row. It was like nobody could break my focus."

Andrew Steele Basketball Prodigy

Trying to figure out exactly what it's like to be an athlete is really hard for people that aren't athletes. That's why we have interviewed Andrew Steele, an uprising basketball prodigy. "I play basketball and I used to play baseball" just one of his many famous quotes. In any sport, moments are created and remembered for the rest of your life. When asked what the biggest sporting moment he was a part of, he said "The biggest moment in sports I have been a part of was winning the basketball championship in recreational basketball". All legends start somewhere. Basketball is a tough sport. People put the health of their bodies on the line for the game, and unfortunately, injuries do occur. "Yeah, I tore a ligament in my right ankle. I was out for three months" says Andrew. That is just absolutely touching. Being able to heal that injury and bounce back to continue to do what you love is just incredible. Being in the big game is an absolutely different story. We asked Andrew what it feels like to score in a big game and he said "It feels good because your helping your team win, and the crowd gets out of control when you score." The only way to experience it is to be a part of it. The final question o Andrew was if he was ever in the zone. He said "Yeah, one game I had 30 points and I was just hitting shot after shot after shot. It felt like it was just me and my team on in that building. No outside distractions." The level of focus when somebody is in the zone is outstanding. Athletes can block out anything and everything from the outside world. The only thing that means anything to them is what is going on in the game at that moment. Andrew Steele is a god.
