EDWARDS WINS AGAIN, REDSKINS LOOK TERRIBLE

Carl Edwards made it clean sweep this weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway winning both the Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide series races. In winning last nights race Carl got Kyle Busch a little upset by the way he passed him to take the lead and go on to the victory, in the cool down lap Busch rammed his car into the side of Edwards car only to have Carl spin him out. I really didn't see anything wrong with the way Edwards passed him, it's been going on for years at Bristol. In the race for the final spot in the chase Clint Bowyer leads David Ragan by 12 points. I thought the Packers look bad last week but I think the Redskins looked worst last night, the Skins offense was non existent last night and the defense didn't fare much better as the Panthers beat the Skins 47-3, thats just embarrassing. The United States mens basketball team recaptured the gold medal today in Olympics with a 118-107 win over Spain, there is no reason the U.S. should ever lose the gold medal in basketball with the amount of good players they have to chose from. In baseball action last night South Richmond Post 137 fell to Sumter, SC 9-6, South Richmond will play Jonesboro, Arkansas today at 5pm. If anybody would like to pick against me in my college football picks of the week ( dad & Andrew have already sent there picks in) you can just e-mail me with your picks. MICKEY

UVA FOOTBALL TICKETS

It appears that my source for UVA football tickets may have dried up, so I am looking for some tickets for any UVA home games this year with the exception of the Richmond game. I will be heading to East Carolina that weekend to see them play West Virginia. Hopefully I will be able to find some tickets to some other games. I would have like to have gone to the USC at Virginia game but I may go to the ECU vs Virginia Tech game, I will have to decide probably by Sunday if am going Charlotte or not. If I can't get a ticket to the UVA game I might just go to the beach and watch both games on TV. It appears dad has Andrew walking a straight line again after a week at the beach, he even has Andrew out running with him, it did take him a few days to deprogram him though. My PAIN index remains about the same this morning due to the fact I didn't sleep well last night. Oh I almost forgot did you see who won the Nascar truck race last night, thats right Kyle Busch picked up another win. MICKEY

Perseverance
Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.

Lack of calcium can contribute to stress fractures and the bone disease, osteoporosis. The best sources of calcium are dairy products, but many other foods such as salmon with bones, sardines, collard greens, and okra also contain calcium. Additionally, some brands of bread, tofu, and orange juice are fortified with calcium.

Eat Dark Chocolate, YUCK
Dark chocolate is a wonderful food that contains a large amount of antioxidants that protect your body from aging. Find good quality dark chocolate, learn to appreciate it, and have a bit of it each day. Eating chocolate may lower your blood pressure and cholesterol while providing an energy boost.
