Big Ben returns!
He will play in his first game since his four game suspension due to his off the field behavior in the off season.
His first game will be against hated rivals, the Cleveland Browns.
Eric Mangini has said that he was leaning towards starting rookie QB Colt McCoy.
Are you kidding me?
Colt McCoy is the future of this franchise, and you are thinking about throwing him out there in his first game in the NFL against the best defense in the league??
Mangini, what are you thinking?

Portugal beats Iceland 3-1
Bento has brought the classic 4-3-3 back to the NT, and the team is now attacking a lot better than when they had Carlos Queiroz at the helm.
How about the Portuguese midfield with Raul Meireles, Joao Moutinho and Carlos Martins. Lots of flair and creativity in the midfield.
I think that Portugal is back to their fine form that they had in the last 10 years or so.
A note has to be made for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not only is he scoring goals for Portugal, but he was even playing defense yesterday. There were many times when CR7 went after attackers with some slide tackles, he was chasing down second balls, I mean, this is the best player in the world that is doing this.
Great effort by Ronaldo.

Big Saturday
It was a huge day in college football on Saturday.
The upset of Alabama by South Carolina was just one of the many stories of the day.
Huge win by the South Carolina Gamecocks over Alabama in what was a great game. Garcia had his best game of his young career. A well deserved win, however I would not want to face Alabama the rest of the year.
These guys will be out for blood, and even if they lost this game, I still think that they are the best team in the nation. The LSU-Alabama game will be a big one.
Speaking of LSU how good was that win against Florida? Keep in mind that the Tigers have no quarterback. Les Miles is doing a great job with the defense down there. I do not understand why LSU fans boo the guy, They are undefeated and every year they bring in a top five recruiting class.
How about the Oregon Ducks? These guys just can not stop scoring. I love watching these guys play. I am curious to know if Boise State or TCU will be ranked higher than the Ducks.
Florida State fans must be very happy after the big win at the Miami Hurricanes. What a turnaround job by Jumbo Fisher.
The one loss that surprised me was the Michigan loss to Michigan State. Robinson is still my choice for the Heisman trophy.
Notre Dame managed to beat Pitt after nearly blowing a huge lead. The Irish were awesome in the first half, but had an awful second half. The Irish play Eastern Michigan next.
North Carolina State is right now the best team in the ACC.Sadly my team, the Boston College Eagles are heading in the wrong direction as they suffered their third straight loss. By the way, BC plays Florida State next week. It is going to be a long season for BC fans.
Big news in Vikings camp!
Portugal 3 Denmark 1

In Bani con los Tigres
I certainly plan in returning.
I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about going in the first place, as I had heard nothing but negative things about the DR. I was pleased to find that most of these things were wrong.
That is not to say that the country is perfect, far from it, there are lots of unemployment, poverty and crime is high to a certain point; you must certainly be aware of your surroundings especially in Santo Domingo.
But again, any big city is going to have its shady parts.
Santo Domingo is a nice city, it certainly has its charm, especially in the Zona Colonial, the oldest part of the capital. Personally, I just do not like big cities, as I found them too chaotic, noisy and with way too many people.
Add to the fact that Santo Domingo is very hot, and well, you know how that gets.
The only real negative about the trip was that it rained for nearly the entire time that I was there, that was my fault as I decided to go during the rainy season, but now I know better, I was only able to go to the beach once, but what a beach it was, Playa de Salinas is a really nice beach, but there are so many other fine beaches in the DR.
Well, I am back in Boston, for now, but I am looking forward to returning to the Dominican Republic.
