Maurice Clarett to Play for UFL

According to a recent espn.com article, Maurice Clarett is expected to return to Football as a member of the Omaha Nighthawks UFL football team.  Clarett has built up a horrible reputation because of past experiences, including several run-ins with the law and different NCAA violations.  He has not played football since 2006, but seems to be in good physical shape.  If Clarett does well, could he get another shot at the NFL? I believe so, because the NFL is very generous in giving second chances, with a clean slate in the UFL we could see Clarett suit up for a NFL team again, he has the talent we must wait to see if he has matured.

The Status on WVU using Marshall Universities Recreational Facilities

Still no word has become official as to whether on Friday, Sept. 10th, that the Marshall University Recreational Center will be surrounded, inside and out with West Virginia fans.  I believe that this rumor could very well happen though.  West Virginia is known for their student led organization the, "Mountaineer Maniacs." Wanting a place to meet is not out of the ordinary, especially when the distance is so relatively close.  I think it would benefit the city money wise but cause harm.  Because of the passion fan's have for their teams, breakouts of fights might result.  Overall, I think it would add a better atmosphere to the game itself and its publicity.

Jim Furyk Deserves Second Chance

Last night, Jim Furyk had dreams of becoming a Champion at the Barclays, PGA Tour tournament.  However, this morning, when he had awaken, he realized that he had overslept the alarm on his phone causing, him to miss his tee time on the course.  PGA rules state that, when a player misses their tee time, the cannot participate in the rest of the days play.  For Furyk's instance I believe this is unfair.  Jim Furyk is a well known amateur golfer and has had no allegations released among him, ever.  In sports today, it seems as if all the major athletes are receiving a second chance, even some who have murdered get a chance to redeem their career, why not Furyk.
