Haiti

So as we all know Haiti has gone through the worse earthquake ever and the death toll is estimated to be 50,000 + so far. There are more than 8 million people in Haiti right now that needs help. They are without food, water, a place to sleep, and medical attention. It hurts me to see this happening because not only adults are being killed and injured, but little kids and babies are being also. Being from a Haitian descent and having family still in Haiti just makes this whole situation even harder for me to hear and see.

Thankfully being from such a great country, U.S. has already responded to the disaster and are helping everybody in Haiti.I know a lot of you who read this may think that there is nothing that you can do, but there is always something you can do. The smallest things go a long way.

When going to the grocery store, you can always buy some extra water or non perishable foods. Also when going to the pharmacy, you can buy some first aid kits. When going through all those clothes that you don't wear or all the covers you never use, instead of keeping them there or throwing them away, just donate them. If you don't want to that, giving money will really help restore everything also. Here are some organizations you can donate some money to:

People please help the smallest things really help. God always appreciates the smallest things. Helping others will come back to you in a really good way... GOD BLESS

Tiger Woods


I just wanted to give people my opinion on all of these Tiger Woods rumors. I think they are ridiculous; I mean damn he's human and every human makes mistakes. Besides, he's rich and famous, groupies are everywhere, so we really shouldn't be surprised that he cheated. He is the best player in golf right now and one of the richest person out there. From what I've heard, he's a very humble guy and knows how to work out his mistakes. Besides this is the first time we've heard his name out their in a bad way.Instead of us trying to put out what we think about him and believing everything that other people say, why don't we just wait and see what happens and what he has to say about. W e should never prejudge until we know the full truth.



Tiger Woods is still the best and without him, golf is nothing. Their ratings will well is going down and the sponsorships that golf tournaments get, will be gone. I mean fuck the marriage at least we know he's still a good father to his kids. I mean yea a marriage is sacred and whatever but if it doesn't work it doesn't work. As long as he's their for his kids, we shouldn't be so hard on him.

Rest In Peace Jasper Howard

UCONN star conerback Jasper Howard was stabbed early Sunday morning and later passed away. Saturday, UCONN won against Louisville 38-25, where Jasper made 11 tackles, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. Saturday night, Jasper and friends went to a school dance in which someone pulled the fire alarm. While people were outside, a fight broke out, Jasper and another classmate were stabbed.

"I know this, he loved UCONN; he loved his teammates; he loved everything about this." Head coach Randy Edsall stated with his eyes red and welling with tears. Coach Edsall drove to the hospital and had to identify Jasper's body.

"As Jazz looks down on us, I can promise him and his family, that son or daughter will have 105 uncles. And we will do what it takes to not get through this, but to grow from it." Punter and team captain Desi Cullen stated.

Jasper was the first person in his family to go to college and was working hard to get into the NFL. Born in Miami, he has talked about his hard living and how his mother had to work multiple jobs to take care of him and his siblings. The even sad part is that he was going to become a father in which he and the team were excited about.

Jasper made a big play Saturday for the win, he forced a fumble just when Louisville was about to score. After the game, Jasper who led the Big East in punt returns last season, spoke to the AP about the big play.


"I felt my hand go on the ball and I felt that I had a chance to get it out. I just stripped it out. It was a big play. We needed it."

The school has schedule for Jasper mother and two teen sisters to come to Connecticut. Jasper Howard was only 20 years-old. :(


Police still have no suspects and still have not identified the other victim in this case. If you have any information, please contact Connecticut Police at 860-486-4800.



Rest In Peace Jasper Howard, you will be always loved and missed.

Stafon Johnson



USC running back Stafon Johnson was finally released from the hospital. Before leaving the hospital Stafon's doctors, mother, and other family members, had a press conference. Without any hesitation, he gave the cameras a smile. Stafon's mother said that she is happy he is okay and that he is working hard to get back to being normal. She also started tearing up with Stafon when she was talking about the USC fans and organization:

"They sent everything you can possibly think to show Stafon the love, and that meant the world to get us to go along with that process."

Stafon's uncle, Kreg Anderson, read a letter written by Stafon:

"I am just filled with joy, as if I am graduating from one stage of life and on to the next obstacles. I greatly appreciate everything, and at this point, everything counts...This is not the end of anything. This is the beginning of things to come. I'll be back soon. We are fighting on."

Doctors do not know when he will be able to speak; his right vocal cord was torn away from its mooring, and his larynx was separated. When asking the doctors when Stafon will be able to play again, the doctor said that it really depends on Stafon.

"I don't think any physician can tell a player of they're going to play again."

When the doctor was talking, Stafon wrote another message that his mother later read. It had his twitter account and it had a message to his teammate for the game at Notre Dame:

"FIGHT ON. BEAT THE IRISH!"

If you want to follow Stafon Johnson on twitter and show some love, follow him at http://twitter.com/stafon13 ... and for all the facebook people out there be his friend at http://www.facebook.com/people/Stafon-Johnson/3432906 :)
P.S. Stafon if you ever read this..good luck and hope to see you soon on the football field :) Love ya and get well soon.

College Football News

Yet again another great college football weekend, also some more top upsets. This week was the first week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month or how I like to say it Cancer Awareness Month. It started with some great news for the Boston College Football team and fans; junior linebacker, Mark Herzlich was diagnose with cancer. In May, he came out and said that he had Ewing's Sarcoma, which is a malignant tumor that is found in the bone or soft tissue. Then on Saturday during College Game day on ESPN, Mark came out and said that the doctors are 99% sure that he is cancer free. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is like one the best stories ever this week. In honor of the news, Boston College beat Florida State 28-21.

The Miami Hurricanes played their 4th ranked team this week against the Oklahoma Sooners, it was a great game I must add. Hurricanes QB Jacory Harris had 2 interception in the first half, which was just awful, I honestly thought that they were going to lose the game with all those mistakes the offense was making. Thankfully, the Canes defense was on point keeping the Sooners out of the end zone. Second half came and the Canes were back making touchdowns and winning the game 21-20.


Here are some of the scores from Saturday's games:
  • Alabama 38 Kentucky 20
  • LSU 20 Georgia 13
  • UC Davis 16 Boise State 34
  • Virginia Tech 34 Duke 26
  • USC 30 California 3
  • Oklahoma 20 Miami (FL) 21
  • Ohio State 33 Indiana 14
  • Michigan 20 Michigan State 26
  • Georgia Tech 42 Mississippi State 31
