Quick notes in sports

Hey guys,

I have not written a blog in about a week (this last week of school has been hell) so I thought I would give a quick shout out of some of the big news in sports that we saw this week.

  • The NFL and CBA have not reached an agreement, so there is still questions on whether there will be a NFL football season. Some good notes, the current CBA agreement has been extended twice since it was first supposed to expire. There has also been some strong strides in the right direction. We now know that there will NOT be an 18-game season in the NFL. The NFL players do not want this because of the high risk of getting injured. We also know that the pay scale for NFL rookies drafted in the first round has decreased greatly (Which I strongly support.) The current deadline for the extended CBA is this Friday, so lets hope that a deal can get done by then or another extension is agreed upon.
  • The Mariners are currently 6-4 in the preseason Cactus League. 6-4 puts them with the fourth best record in this league. But do not take too much from this stat, it is only spring training. All the players are just loosening up their bodies for the regular season. Unfortunately, it still seems like the Mariners will struggle with scoring runs this season.
  • For the NBA- There is a HUGE game on tomorrow on TNT. The Los Angels Lakers will take on the Miami Heat in Miami. The Lakers are currently on an eight game win streak with the Heat have lost five in a row. (And being a Lakers fan, this is awesome!!!) It shall be an interesting game and I have a feeling that whoever grabs the most rebounds, will win. GO LAKERS

That is all I have to say right now. Hopefully some bigger news comes up.
