The Landlord

This video has been out for awhile put out by Will Ferrell on his internet web site funnyordie.com. Although This video sparked a lot of controversy with a two year old using curse words and caring a beer around I think it is a very funny video that in no way will adversely affect pearl. Many are ridiculing the parents for coaching peal into the use of curse words but when it comes down to it this is the choice of the parents not those upset. Watch for yourself and decide but all I see is a very funny Will Ferrell video.

This is accurate to a degree with a few exceptions such as my parents obviously have kids and they are not so much hunters. I like how under lifestyle traits it just assumes we all go hunting with guns and read Bassmaster. Also my parents and I hate NASCAR! As far as income job types home ownership ect it is somewhat accurate.

Upper-Mid, Middle Age w/o Kids Like the old Andy Griffith Show set in a quaint picturesque berg, Mayberry-ville harks back to an old-fashioned way of life. In these small towns, upper-middle-class couples like to fish and hunt during the day, and stay home and watch TV at night. With lucrative blue-collar jobs and moderately priced housing, residents use their discretionary cash to purchase boats, campers, motorcycles, and pickup trucks.

NASCAR spoof

Second year NASCAR driver Adam Pemberton has just won his first Daytona 500. “I was going fast and sometimes I was turning left!”  He told a reported when asked how did you win it.  Adam formerly of Springfield Illinois now resides with his wife and 14 German Sheppard’s all named Tiny in there mansion located in Daytona Florida. What made you decide you wanted to be a NASCAR driver?

“Well I’m not really athletic what so ever so a real sport was out of the question. But one day I was flipping thru the channels when I came upon a NASCAR race and the announcers were talking about how much money the drivers made. I thought to myself hell I can drive a car fast and well here I am.”

Most drives take years to work their way up thru the race circuit before they get a shot at NASCAR. Yet you were somehow able to jump right in and do it.

“I played a lot of need for speed as a kid. It’s like a racing game for the playstation ya know so that prolly had a lot to do with it. I also had a go-cart I wrecked it about a week after I got it but for that week no one could beat me.”

With a net worth thru the roof between race winning commercials endorsements for Budweiser not to mention all of the NASCAR merchandise Adam Pemberton reported a net worth of 22 million last year. With this being only his first year in the sport Adam is certainly someone to keep an eye on in future races.

NFL Big Hits

The NFL is looking at the way the game is played today in regards to so called big hits. This previous weekend with an abundance of big hits and a Rutgers college football player becoming paralyzed the NFL is looking at ways to enforce helmet to helmet and big hit penalties. With these penalties being able to result in suspension many players are concerned in the fact the league is not defining what exactly a big hit consist of. No player intentionally wishes to permanently harm another but the game itself is an aggressive sport where injuries do occur. Cardinals S Adrian Wilson

"It's really hard because you only have that split-second to determine what to do. It's crazy. I try my best to use clear judgment and make clear decisions, but a lot of those collisions are unavoidable. You're either going to let them catch it and take a step to see what's going on, or there's going to be a collision."

What you are going to start to see now is a watered down version of the games former past glory. When players fear punishment for hitting a receiver as he’s catching the ball there will be a lot more broken tackles and forward movement where before there was not. Giants S Antrel Rolle

"So are you telling me that now I have to slow down? I think we're already being cautious of what we're doing and how we're attacking the ball or how we're trying to make a tackle. I think that's absolutely ridiculous because under any circumstances you can't just absolutely have control over your body when you're pursuing a tackle."

The bottom line is being a football player is not a requirement it is a privilege. No one makes these athletes play the game they chose to. Although no one wants to see an athlete injured it does happen. They know the risk involved before ever stepping out onto the field and yet they chose to anyways.
