A few names of the victims have been released.

Although the officials are still trying connect many of the events that preceded Monday morning, names of the deceased are now emerging. It seems as though many of the names and pictures are coming from the social website, Facebook, along with the names and pictures there are self written descriptions and mournful notes written by friends and family. If you have a facebook account I urge you to go and look.

Ryan Clark, 22

He was known as "stack" to his friends and family. Ryan Clark was a triple major in psychology, biology and English and had a 4.0 grade-point average and was staying on the Virginia Tech campus until his graduation, which was set for May. Clark was in his 5th year in the Virgina Tech marching band called the "Marching Virginians" and was serving as the personnel officer. The Virginia Tech senior came from Martinez in Georgia and was a "true example of 'The Spirit Of Tech'," according to a message posted on the band's Web site. Clark was a resident assistant at West Ambler Johnston Hall, the dormitory where he and another student was shot at 7:15 AM. And according the Marching Virginians' website he was planning on perusing a PhD in psychology with a focus in cognitive neuroscience. "The coroner and two sheriff deputies came by and let us know. … I still haven't quite comprehended what is going on," his brother told ABC's Diane Sawyer. "I'm not sure how long it will actually take, but at this point we just miss him and love him."Ryan Clark's sister, Nadia Clark, choked back tears as she remembered her brother."He was the most loving person that you could ever meet," she said. "He loved anyone that he ever met. No matter what, he was always there. He had something sarcastic to say to make you laugh … but he was always there to help you."Ryan Clark's friends echoed her sentiment."I'd have to say he was definitely very loud, very outgoing," said Floyd Miller. "About any little thing he could get on you for, his sarcastic humor, [he was] always willing to do something for you". He will be immensely missed by all.

Arielle Perlmutter of Buford, Georgia, wrote:
"I worked with Ryan Clark at Camp Big Heart, where we both spent part of our summers counseling kids and adults with special needs. At camp, Ryan was one of my closest friends. We had many inside jokes and spent a lot of time being silly and laughing. Ryan never had a frown on his face, and even when something was bothering him, he was only upset for a short time and moved back to his good old happy self. Ryan ran the dance/music program at camp and was constantly moving, singing and entertaining both the staff and campers. Ryan was very happy himself and was always working to make others happy. Camp Big Heart will never be the same without him, and our camp community will bear the scars of the loss for many years to come. Ryan was a gift in the lives of people who met him. He will be missed forever."

Liviu Librescu, 76

There are a lot of heroes that sacrificed themselves Monday. Liviu Libresca is one of them. Libresca is a Holocaust survivor, who'd emigrated from Israel, died the same day as that country marked Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day, according to CNSNews.com. He was born and received his advanced degrees in Romania and is internationally recognized for his research in aeronautical engineering, the head of the Engineering Science and Mechanics Department at Virginia Tech. His son, Joe Librescu, said that he will always be remembered as a hero. Liviu Librescu "blocked the doorway with his body and asked the students to flee". He committed the ultimate sacrifice in order to save others, and for that he will always be a true Hero.

Professor Edward Smith of Penn State University wrote:
"Professor Librescu was well known in the aerospace engineering community. I have known professor Librescu for the past 18 years, ever since I was in graduate school. We attended the same annual conferences and worked in the same research area (composite structures). He was a true gentleman. [He was] always very professional and 'formal,' dressed in a business suit and very serious about his work. Professor Librescu had a good sense of humor and had many friends in the aerospace community. We are all deeply saddened by this tragic loss."

Ross Alameddin, 20

Ross Abdallah Alameddin was a student from Saugus, Massachusetts. The sophomore English major was shot during French class, a family friend told The Associated Press. A Facebook page created in Alameddine's remembrance called him "an intelligent, funny, easygoing guy who will be greatly missed." Earlier last night, the tormented Saugus mother was waiting by her phone. She spent hours calling police and hospitals, which she said were unresponsive to her frantic pleas for information, said the report."I just got word he was of the ones killed in the classroom," said a sobbing Lynnette Alameddine, moments after a chaplain called to tell her that her 20-year-old son was among the dead, according to the Boston Herald. Alameddine had just declared English as his major. A graduate of Austin Preparatory School in Reading, Mass., he was in French class yesterday morning in Room 211 of Virginia Tech's Norris Hall.

Jake Valentine of Cincinnati, Ohio, wrote:
"I only went to high school with Ross for two years before we moved. We had 10th grade chemistry together, among other things, such as shooting the breeze before classes and at lunch. He'd always make class enjoyable with his humor, which even the teacher would acknowledge. There wasn't a mean bone in his body. He was one of the nicest, wittiest people you'll ever know. What strikes out most about him is that his Facebook status will always let people know how selfless he was. His last day started wishing one of his friends a happy birthday. He will be truly missed by all."

G.V. Loganathan, 51

G.V. Loganathan was a professor of civil and environmental engineering in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. Since coming to Virginia Tech in 1982, he earned the Outstanding Faculty Award, the Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Faculty Achievement Award for Excellence in Civil Engineering Education, according to his biography on the Virginia Tech Web site. Loganathan, of Tamil Nadu, India, lived with his wife and children on Virginia Tech's campus, according to the Times of India. His brother, G.V. Palanivel, told the NDTV news channel in India that, "We all feel like we have had an electric shock, we do not know what to do. [He] has been a driving force for all of us, the guiding force."

Ken Ying of Raleigh, North Carolina, wrote:
"Professor G.V. Loganathan was my professor when I was a graduate student in Virginia Tech. I worked with him for a research project and helped him with the computer lab management from 1985 to 1991. He was a kind and thoughtful gentleman. I always remember him for his elegant style and perfection in research and teaching. I learned a lot from him each time he gave me those helpful critiques on my works. It is a great loss of everyone from this tragedy. We just lost a great professor and a great friend. All my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. They just lost a great husband and a great father."

Kevin Granata, age unknown right now

Kevin Granata was one of the top five biomechanics researchers in the country working on movement dynamics in cerebral palsy, the head of Engineering Science and Mechanics Department at Virginia Tech said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. He served in the military and conducted orthopedic research in hospitals before coming to Virginia Tech, according to AP. Granata's academic career included stints at the Johns Hopkins University, Ohio State University, University of Virginia and Wake Forest University. "With so many research projects and graduate students, he still found time to spend with his family, and he coached his children in many sports and extracurricular activities," engineering professor Demetri P. Telionis told AP.

Matthew La Porte, 20

Matt La Porte of Dumont, New Jersey, was studying political science and French at Virginia Tech. He was also a member of the Corps of Cadets, the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets band, the Highty-Tighties and the U.S. Air Force ROTC, according to his MySpace page.

Henry Lee of Roanoke, Va., a freshman and computer engineering major

Erin Peterson, student, Centreville, Virginia

Leslie Sherman, a sophomore and history and international studies major.

UPDATE:

Reema Joseph Samaha's father just appeared on Wolf Blitzer's "The Situation Room" and talked about his recently deceased daughter. There was much discussed but among the ways that he described his daughter was that she was "happy and full of life", "a beuatiful dancer and well loved" and that she "loved to travel". The news of his daughter's death was broken by a friend of Reema's who asked an ambulance driver who recognized her and he later found out that she was killed in her French class.

Reema Samaha, one of the victims of the shooting at Virginia Tech, graduated from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va. -- the same high school as the shooter, Seung-Hui Cho. Samaha was killed inside Norris Hall, along with almost 30 other people. On Tuesday morning, flags were flying at half-staff outside of Westfield High in Samaha's honor. Another Westfield High student was also killed in the massacre -- freshman Erin Peterson.

Mary Karen Read, 19

Mary Karen Read was born in South Korea into an Air Force family and lived in Texas and California before settling in the northern Virginia suburb of Annandale. Read considered a handful of colleges, including nearby George Mason University, before choosing Virginia Tech. It was a popular destination among her Annandale High School classmates, according to her aunt Karen Kuppinger. She had yet to declare a major. "I think she wanted to try to spread her wings," Kuppinger told the AP. She said her niece had struggled in adjusting to Tech's sprawling 2,600-acre campus. But she had recently begun making friends and looking into a sorority. Kuppinger said the family started calling Read as news reports surfaced. "After three or four hours passed and she hadn't picked up her cell phone or answered her e-mail ... we did get concerned," Kuppinger said. "We honestly thought she would pop up."

Andrew Gaddy of Chesapeake State, Virginia wrote:
"Reema lived down the hall from me. She was cherished by all for going out of her way to make everyone feel accepted and content. She would always give a kind smile and a greeting to everyone she saw. Everyone in our hall has been greatly impacted by losing her."

Joanna Abdallah of Clifton, Virginia, wrote:
"I didn't really know her, but she touched the lives of people very dear to me. I remember watching her on stage at Westfield High a couple times; she was very talented. Everyone who did know her thought she was nice, intelligent, and funny, and she will be missed. She survived the Lebanon/Israel war to die on her school campus. R.I.P. Reema."

Jarrett Lane, 22

was a senior civil engineering student who was valedictorian of his high school class in tiny Narrows, Virginia, just 30 miles from Virginia Tech. His high school put up a memorial to Lane that included pictures, musical instruments and his athletic jerseys. Lane played the trombone, ran track, and played football and basketball at Narrows High School. "We're just kind of binding together as a family," principal Robert Stump told the AP. Lane's brother-in-law Daniel Farrell called Lane fun-loving and "full of spirit." "He had a caring heart and was a friend to everyone he met," Farrell said. "We are leaning on God's grace in these trying hours."

Caitlin Hammaren, 19

Caitlin Hammaren of Westtown, New York, was a sophomore majoring in international studies and French, according to officials at her former school district. "She was just one of the most outstanding young individuals that I've had the privilege of working with in my 31 years as an educator," John P. Latini, principal of Minisink Valley High School, told the AP. Hammaren graduated from the high school in 2005. "Caitlin was a leader among our students." Minisink Valley students and teachers shared their grief Tuesday at a counseling center set up in the school, Latini said.

Daniel Perez Cueva, 21

Daniel Perez Cueva is from Peru, was killed while in a French class, his mother, Betty Cueva, told the AP. Perez Cuevas was a student of international relations, according to the Virginia Tech Web site. His father, Flavio Perez, spoke of the death earlier to RPP radio in Peru. He lives in Peru and said he was trying to obtain a humanitarian visa to the United States. He is separated from Cueva, who said she had lived in the United States for six years. A spokesman at the U.S. Embassy in Lima said the student's father "will receive all the attention possible when he applies" for the visa.

Jennifer Miller of Dale City, Virginia, wrote:
"I met Daniel Perez last year where we both worked at the time, and I liked him instantly, as everyone did. We became good friends and spent a lot of time together right before he left home to start in the fall. He was so excited to attend Virginia Tech. I remember frantically calling him the day in August that classes started when the other shootings happened, how he reassured me that everything would be OK and how he was his usual happy self. I wish we could hear his voice again, telling us that everything's OK now. I'll always remember him as one of the most ambitious and driven people I've ever met. He had a beautiful smile that would brighten up anyone's day and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed by many. Daniel's with God now, and that's my only consolation during this awful time."

Christopher James Bishop, 35

Christopher James Bishop taught German at Virginia Tech and helped oversee an exchange program with a German university. Bishop decided which German-language students at Virginia Tech could attend the Darmstadt University of Technology to improve their German. "He would teach them German in Blacksburg, and he would decide which students were able to study" abroad, Darmstadt spokesman Lars Rosumek told the AP. The school set up a book of condolences for students, staff and faculty to sign, along with information about the Virginia shootings. "Of course many persons knew him personally and are deeply, deeply shocked about his death," Rosumek said. Bishop earned bachelor's and master's degrees in German and was a Fulbright scholar at Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany. According to his Web site, Bishop spent four years living in Germany, where he "spent most of his time learning the language, teaching English, drinking large quantities of wheat beer, and wooing a certain fraulein." The "fraulein" was Bishop's wife, Stephanie Hofer, who also teaches in Virginia Tech's German program.

Tom Smither of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, wrote:
"Christopher 'Jamie' Bishop worked with us in the foreign language department at the University of North Carolina for a couple of years, and he was deeply loved by all of us here. We were saddened by his leaving us to go to Virginia Tech. We are absolutely devastated by his untimely death. He will be missed on this earth. God bless his soul and look after his lovely wife, Stephanie."

Emily Jane Hilscher, 19

Emily Jane Hilscher was a freshman majoring in animal and poultry sciences, was known around her hometown as an animal lover. "She worked at a veterinarian's office and cared about them her whole life," Rappahannock County Administrator John W. McCarthy, a family friend, told the AP. Hilscher, of Woodville, Virginia, was a freshman majoring in animal and poultry sciences. She lived on the same dorm floor as victim Ryan Clark, McCarthy said. A friend, Will Nachless, also 19, said Hilscher "was always very friendly. Before I even knew her, I thought she was very outgoing, friendly and helpful, and she was great in chemistry."

Jeremy Herbstritt, 27

Jeremy Herbstritt was a Penn State graduate attending graduate school at Virginia Tech for civil engineering. According to his grandfather, "He liked to work on machinery, take a lot of stuff apart and fixed it," Thomas Herbstritt said. "He was a studious kid."

Erin Peterson died while she was in her French class, said her dad, Grafton Peterson. The last time he spoke to her was during a visit at school on Sunday, he said. A fan of "old-school" TV shows like "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Sanford and Son," Peterson described herself on what appears to be her MySpace profile as a "jeans and a t-shirt girl." Friends left anguished messages on her profile as news of the shootings first spread. The messages now recall fond memories of graduation and prom night. "You have no idea how much my heart aches knowing I'll never see you again," one message read.

Katie Schoolfield of Fairfax, Virginia, wrote:
"Erin Peterson was the sweetest, most caring person I knew. I played basketball with her, and she was the 'big sister' of the team. She was always there to offer a helping hand or a giant hug on a bad day. Erin was the kind of person who walked into a room with a smile on her face and it made everyone else smile no matter what kind of mood they were in. Everyone in Fairfax, Virginia, from her Lessons Learned basketball family loves and misses her, and are keeping her family in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, Erin."

Sean McQuade, age unknown

Sean McQuade, seen here in his 2003 Clearview Regional High School yearbook photo, was in critical condition at Carlion Roanoke Memorial Hospital after he was shot in the face, in Blasksburg, Va., according to the Gloucester County Times of Woodbury. McQuade was one of at least four students from New Jersey who was killed in Monday's shooting rampage at Virginia Tech. Another was seriously injured, according to the New Jersey governor's office.

The killer is revealed.

The man behind these gruesome murders has been identified as 23-year, Cho Seung-Hui. Seung-Hui is a student of Virginia Tech, an English major. He also left a very long letter, several pages long, and it is described to be "disturbing" and in the letter it says "You caused me to do this". The police are saying that after he killed the two people in the dorm he returned to his dorm room, re-armed, left the note and then went to a classroom building on the other side of campus.

Cho, born in South Korea, was a legal resident alien of the United States. He was in his senior year.

Sources tell ABC News Cho bought his first gun, a Glock 9 millimeter handgun, on March 13; they say he bought his second weapon, a .22 caliber pistol, within the last week. The serial numbers on both guns had been filed off, they said.

Authorities found the receipt for the 9 millimeter handgun in Cho's backpack. They say the bag also contained two knives and additional ammunition for the two guns.

Cho's identity has been confirmed by matching fingerprints on the guns used in the rampage with his immigration records.

"Lab results confirm that one of the two weapons seized in Norris Hall was used in both shootings," Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said at a press conference Tuesday morning.

At this time, police are not looking for a second shooter, though they did not rule out the possibility that Cho could have had an accomplice.

"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," said Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker.

It also was confirmed that Cho Sueng-Hui did commit suicide before police were able to break the lock of the door and reach him. Police said he shot himself in the face, "part of his face was missing when his body was found".

Another quick update.

A press conference was just held that included the President of Virginia Tech University, Charles Steger and the Chief of Police, Wendell Flinchum. They have once again changed the number of total deaths, it is now at 32 including the gunmen. It was also released that the crazed gunman did take his own life. Also it is still under investigation on whether or not he acted alone. There is conflicting reports that are saying that there might have been another gunman, the girlfriend of the gunman.

Let me also point out that there was a grade A, douche bag firing off some idiotic questions. First of all he sounded as though he was a student paper and he said "if I was in that classroom when a gunman came in, I would've probably tackled him, I mean your going to die anyways, might as well die honorably". First of all, fuck that guy, no one knows how they will react in that sort of situation. Sure you can say all you want that you would be brave, and fight the killer, but unless your thrown into that situation you just don't know what you will do. And he implied that these young men and women didn't die honorable. What the hell is that shit? What are you supposed to do when your sitting down doing your school work and all of a sudden a psycho path burst through the door shooting at everything that moves. And he would make a statement like that just hours after these brutal murders ended, while family members are still trying to find out whether or not their children are hurt or worse. Fuck that guy, inconsiderate fuck.

Hokie's coaches speak out.

Virginia Tech Hokie's football coach, Frank Beamer and basketball coach, Seth Greenberg have released statements to ESPN.com.

Coach Frank Beamer had this to say...

"How could one person cause so many senseless deaths? I'm in shock," Beamer told ESPN's Joe Schad. "This is such a caring, friendly place. This is a college town. And now one person has an impact like this?" "We found out this morning and our assistant coaches have been trying to reach all of our players. We're trying to find out if everybody is OK. The players are going to be going home to their apartments and dorms."

"We all heard so much about Columbine and this is worse," Glennon told Schad. "It's sickening. It's sickening to know that 22 of the students that I go to class with are dead.

"Any and every loss is tragic. I'm just praying that none of the victims are my teammates. I've been trying to call as many as I can. And so far, so good."

"I wish this guy was alive," Glennon said. "I wish we could find out why he did this. But he's sad. He took the easy way out." "It's hard to say how this will impact our community or our team. What I know is that one person has affected at least 22 families and countless friends. And it's senseless. All so senseless," Beamer said.

Coach Seth Greenberg had this to say...

"I'm numb right now thinking about the parents coming to campus to identify their children,'' said Greenberg, who was able to get a call out to ESPN.com on Monday. "It's hard to put into words. What would drive someone to do this? "This is the most peaceful, tranquil and safe environment,'' Greenberg said. "But this shows that there is nowhere that you're safe from tragedy or this type of senseless violence. It's devastating.'' "We're trying to make sure all our guys get a hold of their families first,'' Greenberg said. "That's the first thing to put the parents at ease. It has to come from their kids. We're all trying to contact people but we can't get out on the phone or through text messages and it's driving us crazy.''

CNN is now reporting that this shooting is the deadliest shooting incident of any kind in U.S. History.

Tragedy at Virginia Tech (Updated)

It is widely being reported as 22 confirmed dead, 29 more injured and receiving medical care. The gunmen has not been identified to be a student yet and the Police have not released any of the names of the deceased and injured. This is from Virginia Tech's official site...

The university was struck today with a tragedy of monumental proportions. There were two shootings on campus. In each case, there were fatalities. The university is shocked and horrified that this would befall our campus. I want to extend my deepest, sincerest and most profound sympathies to the families of these victims which include students There are 22 confirmed deaths.

We currently are in the process of notifying families of victims. The Virginia Tech Police are being assisted by numerous other jurisdictions. Crime scenes are being investigated by the FBI, University Police, and State Police. We continue to work to identify the victims impacted by this tragedy. I cannot begin to covey my own personal sense of loss over this senselessness of such an incomprehensible and heinous act The university will immediately set up counseling centers. So far centers have been identified in Ambler Johnston and the Cook Counseling Center to work with our campus community and families.

Here are some of the facts we know:

At about 7:15 a.m. this morning a 911 call came to the University Police Department concerning an event in West Ambler Johnston Hall. There were multiple shooting victims. While in the process of investigating, about two hours later the university received reports of a shooting in Norris Hall. The police immediately responded. Victims have been transported to various hospitals in the immediate area in the region to receive emergency treatment.

We will proceed to contact the families of victims as identities are available.

All classes are cancelled and the university is closed for the remainder of today. The university will open Tuesday at 8 a.m. but classes are cancelled. The police are currently staging the release of people from campus buildings.

Families wishing to reunite with the students are suggested to meet at the Inn at Virginia Tech. We are making plans for a convocation tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon at Cassell Coliseum for the university community to come together to begin to deal with the tragedy.

Counseling is available in the Bowman Room in the Merriman Center (part of the athletic complex) for employees who seek assistance following today’s events.

Faculty and staff on the Burruss side of the Drillfield are being released and asked to go home effective immediately. Faculty and staff on the War Memorial side are asked to leave at 12:30 p.m.

Virginia Tech has closed today Monday, April 16, 2007. On Tuesday, April 17, classes will be canceled. The university will remain open for administrative operations.

There will be an additional university statement presented today at noon.

All students, faculty, and staff are required to stay where they are until police execute a planned evacuation. A phased closing will be in effect today; further information will be forthcoming as soon as police secure the campus.

Tomorrow, there will be a university convocation/ceremony at noon at Cassell Coliseum. The Inn at Virginia Tech has been designated as the site for parents to gather and obtain information.

In addition to an earlier shooting today in West Ambler Johnston, there has been a multiple shooting with multiple victims in Norris Hall.

Police and EMS are on the scene.

Police have one shooter in custody and as part of routine police procedure, they continue to search for a second shooter.

All people in university buildings are required to stay inside until further notice.

All entrances to campus are closed.

ABC news is reporting that there are 29 confirmed dead. So the number is anywhere between 22 to 29 so far.

UPDATE:

The death toll has risen yet again, the number of deaths is now at 31 confirmed dead. There is still a reported 29 people wounded and still receiving medical care.

Tragedy at Virginia Tech

This is still a developing story, but the Virginia Tech police chief has confirmed that there has been a massive school shooting killing at least 22, including the gunman, at the University earlier this morning.

"Some victims were shot in a classroom," Chief Wendell Flinchum said, adding that the gunman was dead.

"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said university President Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."

This is being called one of the worst school shooting since the horrible actions taken by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris in 1999 when they killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.

The first reported shooting occurred at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a co-ed dormitory that houses 895 students. The dormitory, one of the largest residence halls on the 2,600-acre campus, is located near the drill field and stadium.

Amie Steele, editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, said one of her reporters at the dormitory reported "mass chaos."

"It was kind of scary," he said. "These two kids I guess had panicked and jumped out of the top story window and the one kid broke his ankle and the other girl was not in good shape just lying on the ground."

It is being called the deadliest shooting in American History.

UPDATE:

The number of confirmed dead has risen, the count is now at 25 according to ABC News. Also coming curtesy of ABC.com is this picture of 4 policemen carrying an unidentified individual who has tattered clothing covered in blood. I'm not 100% sure but I would wager that that is the killer. (Pic is above)

Week in Review

I haven't been home for the past week, you see I was fired from my latest gig as Don Imus' joke writer. Apparently one of my "jokes" didn't go over too well, or something like that, to be honest i'm usually wasted by noon. Anyways I guess i'll go ahead and stick with blogging about sports and jokes about my ineptness in the bedroom, because you know what they say, if you can't laugh at yourself then everyone will fucking laugh at you anyway, or something like that. Damn I should really pay attention more.

Anyways there has been a lot going on in sports, We have had Super Prospect, Kevin Durant declare for the NBA, lots of injuries in baseball, trade talks starting back up between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs, and of course the racist comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team from radio shock jock, Don Imus. Tiger is defeated by a relatively no name, the Denver Broncos cutting Pro-Bowl linebacker, Al Wilson, and the Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball( boo yah bitches).

Let's start off with the Don Imus comments he made on his radio show. He was basically talking about watching a few minutes of the Women's National Championship game between Tennessee and Rutgers and he said that he noticed the players on Rutgers looked "rough" because they had tattoos and then went on to call them "some nappy headed ho's". Now obviously these remarks are ignorant and absurd and he should be fired. I can't really say if he is a racist, because I have never listened or watched his show before, I know who he is but I don't know if he is racist, but his comments were extremely offensive to the young women of the Rutgers basketball team, their coach, the parents of the players and his listeners. He definitely deserves to be fired for his comments. He later appeared on Reverend Al Sharpton's radio show to discuss the situation. Now i'm not going to go into detail about Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, i'll leave that to Jason Whitlock. But I will say there is a poll on the link I posted above that asks " What are the Motives of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton?" To Help themselves or help resolve the situation? And the vote is overwhelmingly in favor for the "Help themselves", by a vote of 94% to 6%(almost 51,000 votes so far). But let's not get into politics.



Texas Longhorn forward, Kevin Durant has ended speculation and has decided to forgo his sophomore season and declare for the NBA draft. Durant is widely regarded as either the best or second best prospect(depends on who you ask) right now and is drawing comparisons to Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett. I think he's right in the middle of those two superstars, he better offensively then Garnett but not quite as good grabbing boards(although he had 11 rpg I believe) and is a better rebounder but not as good as a scorer as McGrady. I'm not surprised one bit that he has decided to declare seeing as how he won the Freshman of the Year, and both Player of the Year awards this year scoring over 25 ppg and 11+ rpg. He is assured to be a top 2 pick in this years draft it really depends on who gets the number one selection and it depends on if Ohio State Center, Greg Oden, will declare. He has said it's still up in the air on whether he'll stay or go.

Now i'm not a big golf fan, but I am a Tiger Woods fan. And when I do watch golf I want to see the guy win every tournament. And by watch it, I mean watch the highlights on Sportcenter. Now who had a 31-year old no-name golfer from Iowa winning the Masters? If your hand is up then you are a liar, unless you did pick him, then I apologize for calling you a fibber. In case you hadn't heard, it was not Tiger Woods that won the Masters, it was non other than Zach Johnson. This is Johnson's first career Major Championship victory. ESPN's Jason Sobel had this to say... "Some will say this Masters lacked spark, lacked a great champion. But Johnson was the best player over 72 holes this week. He deserves this victory." And I have to say, I agree with him.

In a somewhat surprising move the Denver Broncos have decided to go ahead and release Pro-Bowl linebacker, Al Wilson. They had attempted to trade Wilson to the New York Giants but the deal fell through shortly after being announced. I don't necessarily know all the exact reasons on why they would release a player like Wilson other than to relieve some salary cap. Whoever does pick him up is going to have a playmaker on defense, that's for sure. I expect the Giants to remain suitors and the Buffalo Bills might make a play for him aswell. I wouldn't mind it if my Cincinnati Bengals acquired him, as far as I know he isn't a problem player so it would be a great fit.

There have been quite a few big names headed or already on the Disabled list this season. Some recent guys that are headed to the DL are Yankee's pitchers, Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano, Toronto Blue Jay's closer, B.J. Ryan and L.A. Angel's starter, Kelvin Escobar made his yearly stint on the DL last week. Already this season guys like Phillie's starter, Freddy Garcia, D-Back's starter, Randy Johnson, Pirate's third baseman and last season's NL Batting Champ, Freddy Sanchez, Atlanta Braves often injured(as of late) starter, Mike Hampton is lost for the season with another elbow injury, Rookie of the Year candidate last year, Josh Johnson of Florida have already been on the DL to name a few.

I'm sure if you swing by Davey's blog you will have noticed that the trade talks between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs have started up again. The Dolphins desperately want quarterback, Trent Green and the Chiefs really want to get rid of the 36-year old veteran. So what's the hold up? Well the Dolphins are offering a 2007 7th round draft pick and the Chiefs are requesting a 2007 2nd round pick. Obviously they are no where near close to settling. The Chiefs are mental if they think they are going to pry the Phins 2nd round picks for someone who the Chiefs will inevitably release. I'm quite sure they will work something out by the end of this week and they will come to agreement with something in the middle, most likely a 5th round selection or so. The dolphins are in need of a quarterback as it is now being reported that DaunteCulpepper's day's "are numbered". So with the possible releasing or trading of him it will leave Miami with Cleo Lemon and some other scrub. Davey also is getting more excited then a pubescent girl with tickets to a Hilary Duff Concert at the idea of drafting Michigan State's quarterback, Drew Stanton in either the 2nd or 3 round later this month.

And finally we come to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves are currently tied as the best team in baseball, sharing their 8-3 record with the Los Angeles Dodgers. And unlike last season when we had to rely on our offense and no pitching(except for Smoltz) this season we are doing it all with pitching and average offense. We currently have two pitchers with ERA's under 1.00 including Tim Hudson who was tied with Chicago Cub's, Rich Hill with an 0.64 ERA(Hudson pitched today giving up only 1 run in 7 innings of work). The other is lefty, Chuck James who's ERA is at 0.82. James will be pitching tomorrow versus the Washington Nationals. Along with those two, John Smoltz is as expected, great and Kyle Davies is pitching like he did when he first came up from the minors a few years ago. But of course one guy just has to ruin the party and that guy is Mark "Fuckin" Redman. He has lost both of his starts and is sporting an ERA of 12.96. No wonder he was still available. But besides him the pitching has been pretty good. Rafael Soriano and Bob Wickman have both been lights out(except for one bad outing by Soriano), Mike Gonzalez is one crazy Mo-fo, and I wouldn't have it any other way and even Chad Paronto has been great(although he is now on the DL). I have been very impressed with Kelly Johnson's defense, his offense is slow right now, but he's coming along and i'm not worried about it, Brian McCann has been nothing short of amazing, Chipper Jones has been pissing excellence lately especially from the right side and Edgar Renteria is leading us in batting average. Jeff Francoeur is off to a way better start than last year and Matt Diaz is hitting well, why he's not starting everyday is beyond me. Now onto the dissappointments offensively so far. Ryan Langerhans, who is in front of Diaz on the depth chart(because of superior defense) is hitting a cool .100, Scott Thorman is off to a slow start, .150 but does have a game winning homerun, Craig Wilson is splitting time with Thor and is only hitting .143 and has yet to bat anyone in and Chris Woodward is about as useful as me providing something useful to society. But overall I am more than impressed with how we are playing and I feel great on how are season is going to end up. I would like to find a replacement for Mark "Fuckin" Redman, I would rather be raped by a Gorilla than watch him pitch. Damn, some of the stuff I think about. Anyways I will be posting a lot more, hopefully, seeing as how the NFL draft is like two weeks away and I still have 10 teams to review.

No need for extra baseball today.

Unlike the previous two games, the Atlanta Braves didn't need extra innings to complete the 3-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. Braves starter, Chuck James pitched 5 strong innings allowing just one run, striking out five and walking just one batter. James probably could've went at least another inning, but seeing as how he had already thrown 92 pitches, Bobby Cox went to his rebuilt bullpen. The Braves offense jumped on Phillies starter, Adam Eaton in the first inning when the greatest catcher ever created, Brian McCann hit a 2-run single that scored Chipper Jones and Edgar Renteria. By the way, before I continue, I would like to give Brian McCann's parents a big thumbs up, keep up the good work, we could use another left fielder. Just saying. Our offense struck again in the 5th inning, putting up 6 runs. Kelly Johnson got his first hit of the season, a 2-run homer off of Adam Eaton. Two batters later, Andruw Jones got his first RBI of the young season, scoring Chipper Jones off of a double to deep center. Also knocking in his first run of the year was often criticized on the Braves Journal, Jeff Francoeur's RBI single. And the final two runs came courtesy of Scott Thorman's 2-run double.

Everything went smoothly until the bottom of the ninth, when Macay McBride relieved Tyler Yates. McBride walked the bases loaded and was only able to get one out, a Chase Utley fly out. To avoid anymore damage done by McBride, Cox called for his bullpen and in came Chad Paronto. Paronto, although he's pitched great in the previous two games, didn't fair any better as he walked the first batter he saw and walked in the a Phillies run. He was able strike out Aaron Rowand before walking Shane Victorino and forcing Bobby Cox to go to his bullpen yet again, this time in favor for the electric right arm of Rafael Soriano. Soriano needed only one pitch to end the game as he got Carlos Ruiz to pop out to Edgar Renteria.

So there you have it, the self proclaimed "team to beat in the East" was swept in three games to their hated rivalry. Oh and also, Philadelphia has some pretty shitty fans. First of all they boo their own players, mostly Pat Burrell. Now i'm not saying I like Burrell, cause I don't, but still you gotta feel bad for him a little, I mean the guy is currently leading them in batting average (.364), but yet you wouldn't know it by the fans reaction to him coming to bat. And the other thing I would like to weigh in on is the constant drunk idiots throwing shit on the field. The whole entire game there was paper, plastic bags, and cups constantly being thrown on the field and coming into play. Also towards the end of the game, some pussy threw a beer bottle at Braves' left-fielder Ryan Langerhans. Luckily the fan had an arm like their pitchers and missed. Ha, burrrrrn!!!

The Braves next game will be our Home Opener on Friday versus the fucking New York Mets at 7:35 PM et. We will be handing the ball to recently signed, Mark Redman and the Mets will be going with Oliver Perez.

Thor caps off another extra innings thriller.

This game was an old fashioned pitchers dual. The Phillies' Cole Hamels was lights out in his 7 innings of work, striking out 8 Braves and walking only 1. He did give up 4 hits but all were singles and did no harm. He had his change working on a very cold night in Philadelphia and it was seemingly his go-to pitch when he needed a strike out. Tim Hudson was equally as good last night, he also went 7 innings. But unlike Hamels, Hudson did throw one mistake, a mistake that catcher, Carlos Ruiz jumped all over a Hudson slider in the 5th inning with his first home run of the year. That was the only run Hudson surrendered and 1 of only 2 hits against him. When Mike Gonzalez came into to replace Hudson he gave up a walk to Rollins. Rollins then scored on a double down the line by the Flyin Hawaiian, Shane Victorino, but Victorino decided it was a good idea to try and steal third on Brian McCann, and well Shane quickly learned that you don't run on BMAC, McCann gunned him down at third and it proved to cause the Philles another run because two batters later Chase Utley doubled to deep right, but Jeff Francoeur kept up his reputation by gunning down Ryan Howard at the plate.(Frenchy actually hit Kelly Johnson who then threw out Howard.)

The top of the 9th was when it got very interesting especially when Mr. McCann came up to bat. Jeff Francoeur led off the inning with a double into the right-center gap and the came Brian McCann, and before I tell you what he did, I should mention that I actually called it about 10 minutes before he came up to bat. From the Braves Journal:

Way to redeem your self BMac, but you know what would be even better...another two run homer…

And at 8:26 PM, Brian McCann hit a two-run homerun(2) off of Phillies' closer, Tom "Flash" Gordon to tie the game. I know, I know, I just made Miss Cleo my bitch on that one. In the bottom of the 9th, Rafael Soriano came in and sat the Phillies down in order, including striking out Aaron Rowand to end the inning. In the top of the 11th Scott Thorman came up huge with a clutch, game-winning solo homerun off of Ryan Madsen. Thorman has the greatest nickname for a power hitter, "Thor"the God of Thunder. And Bob Wickman came in the 11th to finish off the game striking out Aaron Rowand once again, to end the game this time. I know it's early but this Braves team is pretty fun to watch, look out Philly and New York, we're coming.

Florida Gators win the National Championship.

The Florida Gators become the first team to win back-to-back National Championships since the Duke Blue Devils did it in the 1991-92 season. I think the MOP(most outstanding player) should go to Al Horford, he was clutch down the stretch. The Gators were able to outlast the Buckeyes, 84-75.

More coming tomorrow morning.

Update:

Well, it isn't the "morning" like is when I said I would update, but i'm lazy and a procrastinator, and I like to be fashionably late, 10 hours or so. That's how I roll. Anyway, to the game. The Florida Gators really dominated the tempo of the game and for a good portion of the game it almost seemed that they could do what ever they wanted to. Coming up with big threes, steals, rebounds, etc...But surprisingly the Gators didn't dominate down low as I expected them to. No, in fact Greg Oden out played both Joakim Noah and Al Horford in the paint, well, at least offensively.

The big story of this game was really how Florida was able to capitalize on Ohio State's poor three-point shooting. The Buckeyes shot only 4-23(17%) from the three-point line while the Gators were very impressive behind the arc hitting 10 of their 18 attempts(56%). Another are where the Gators were able to dominate, as I expected they would, was rebounds. They out rebounded the Buckeyes, 38-27 and that was a big reason why they were able to hold of the relentless Buckeyes on route to a 84-75 victory. One stat that won't show up in any box score was how Florida was able to wear out Ohio State and it was evident by the fact that they weren't able to get the ball after each one of Oden's 4 blocks, OSU couldn't even keep up with Taurean Green late in the game.

Oden was stellar, dominating the paint offensively and seemingly scoring at will, if the his teammates were able to hit a few timely 3-pointers, then they would've surely be hoisting the trophy and cutting down the nets. Oden finished his collegiate career(???) with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks. Mike Conley Jr also had a good game, scoring 20 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. He did however get into early foul trouble and it caused him to spend some time on the bench.

Florida's starters were great, four of the five scored at least 13 points(Noah scored 8) and besides Noah, they all played in at least 34 minutes. Obviously Noah didn't have a great game and it was due to foul trouble and fatigue. This had to be the only game, that I had seen at least, that Noah wasn't running the court. He played in only 21 minutes of the game and in those twenty-one minutes he did play he was usually struggling to catch a breath. Noah finished with 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1-6 from the field. Like I had mentioned earlier, I thought the MOP should've been Al Horford. He was clutch in the final minutes of the game, scoring at will, crashing the boards, etc. Horford led the team in both points and rebounds with 18 and 12 and he also led them in blocks with 2. In my opinion if Horford wasn't awarded with the MOP(which he wasn't) it should have been Taurean Green. Green was the one who had Conley and Lewis chasing him all around the court, melting time off the clock and he was a very accurate shooter, hitting 3-3 from the three and 5-5 from the charity stripe. He was 4-6 from the field overall. He ended up with 16 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. It was Corey Brewer who won the Most Outstanding Player. He had a great game, but i'm just saying he would've been my third choice. But no harm done. He had 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 assist. Oh and Davey would like everyone to know that those are "Grant Hill numbers". But wait, he didn't break a femur or pop an achilles, so you see, it wasn't quite a Hill performance. Chris Richards was also huge coming off the bench, he locked down Oden and was able to score 8 points and 8 rebounds(5 offensive) before fouling out of his final game as a Gator. Oden had this to say about Richards...

"They had four bodies running in at me," Oden said. "Chris Richard, I swear he plays on the football team."

So the Gators were able to become the first team in 15 years to succeed at defending their National Championship, and they will have their work cut out for them next year because I anticipate them losing their top 6 scorers from this year. I'm not sure if the stocks of guys like Joakim Noah, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Corey Brewer can get any higher(well maybe Green), so I feel they will all be entering the draft, but if Billy Donovan does stay at Florida(which he needs to) maybe he could talk them into trying to go for a three-peat.

Renteria lifts the Braves in extra innings.

Nobody was more clutch Monday afternoon than Braves' shortstop, Edgar Renteria. Not only did Renty have the game tying home run, he also had the game winning home run in extra innings. In the top of the 8th inning, Phillies' starter, Brett Myers, was dominating Renteria and had him behind in the count, 0-2, when he left a ball up and Edgar took advantage of it, hitting it about 430 feet to dead center. And then again in the 10th inning against Ryan Madsen he did the same thing, but with Braves' second baseman, Kelly Johnson, on. Renteria ended up going 2-5, 2 HR's(2) and 3 RBI's(3). A very nice start to his second season in Atlanta.

Also coming up huge was Brian McCann, who started the Braves offense with a double to deep center in the 2nd inning and then a two-run homer in the 4th inning. And he finished his day going 3-4, 1 HR(1) and 2 RBI's(2). John Smoltz came into the game today without much opening day success(0-3 +6 ERA), so he was looking to get off to a good start to his season after being robbed from the Cy Young award last year. He started off untouchable through the first four innings but in the fifth he threw one mistake to Jimmy Rollins and J-Roll, as he is called in Philly, capitalized on it with his first home run of the year. Other than that the only other trouble he ran into was the next inning when Kelly Johnson misplayed a pop up(should have been an error, but they were generous) and it led to the go-ahead lead and eventually knocked him out of the game.

But unlike last season the bullpen was amazing. They held the Phillies scoreless over the remaining 4 innings. And recent acquisition, Mike Gonzalez, is a beast. He literally enjoyed the fact that he walked the opposing pitcher on 4 straight balls and then gave up a double to the next hitter(Rollins). He got pissed and just straight embarrassed the next two guys, striking out both of them(including the reining MVP, Ryan Howard) and then getting a slow grounder to end the inning. Next up was the electric, Rafael Soriano, who hit at least 94 on everyone of his fastballs including a high of 96. He easily disposed of the batters he faced walking one(on a bullshit call, seriously, Umpire, Ed Montague was horrible.) Also having nice games for the Braves were Chipper Jones, who looks great, he definitely lost some weight this offseason and he was running like he was a couple of years ago. Jones ended up going 1-3, 1 run and 2 walks. I know it's only the first game of a very long season, but I feel great about this team, if our starting staff can stay in tact and we can get production from our new second baseman and whoever is playing in left then we should be very tough to beat this season.

--Next game is on Wednesday at 4:00 ET, versus the Phillies and left-hander, Cole Hamels. Tim Hudson will be on the mound for Atlanta.

Can the Florida Gators repeat?

With the National Championship game just hours from the tip off, the headlines are just piling in. Can the Gators repeat? Will this be Greg Oden's final collegiate game? Will Billy Donovan leave Florida for the job at Kentucky? If you were to ask ten people who they would take, i'm sure about 9 of them would take the Gators and rightfully so. The Gators and Buckeyes have played once already this year and Florida destroyed OSU, 86-60 back in late December. But it should be noted that when the two teams matched up, Freshman superstar, Greg Oden, was only playing in his 5th game(4th start). So the notation that he was still adjusting to the College game and seeing how Florida was his first "major" competition it's pretty easy to see why he struggled against Florida's Twin Towers, Joakim Noah and Al Horford. But with that said, i'm sure if you ask any of the Buckeye's, including head coach, Thad Matta, they would not make excuses, but simply say the better team won that day.

Things have since changed, the Buckeyes feel they are the better team and they are looking to put a stop to history and take down the mighty Gators. And the Gators want to win just as bad, if not more. There's immortality on the line for them, they could be the first team since 1991-92 to win back-to-back National Championships. This could easily be the last games for many underclassmen, such as Greg Oden, Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, Al Horford, Taurean Green, Mike Conley Jr, etc and last games for many seniors, Ron Lewis, Ivan Harris, Lee Humphrey and Chris Richard. Oh and by the way, I don't expect Conley, Green and Brewer to leave college, especially Conley, he'll stay for at least another year if not more.

Reasons why the Gators will repeat:

1. Their Frontcourt-

The Florida Gators have the best front court in all of basketball in my mind, both offensively and defensively. If Joakim Noah can stay hungry and is able to run the court and Al Horford can shut down Oden the Gators will be impossible to defeat. Also look for the Gators to absolutely dominate the boards tonight.

2. Lee Humphrey's shot-

Lee Humphrey reminds me of one of my favorite Connecticut Huskies of all-time, Rashad Anderson. Much like Anderson, Humphrey is an assassin behind the arc and can change a game with one shot. Humphrey has the ability to pierce a dagger in the Buckeye's hearts late in the game with his huge three-point shooting.

3. They have a destiny to full-fill.

When it all said and done with, the Gators will either be put in the same class with all of those great Duke, UCLA and Kentucky teams or they can be put in the same class with a team like the 1984 Georgetown Hoyas, who won 1 Championship and should have repeated but weren't able to.

Reasons why the Buckeyes will win:

1. Mike Conley Jr and Ron Lewis-

Ohio State has one of the best backcourts in basketball with Mike Conley Jr distancing himself as not only the best freshman point guard but maybe the best point guard in all of college basketball. The way he can dominate a game and his slashing ability will throw the Gators off, and not only will he be able to draw the attention to him, but it could leave Oden open for easy baskets down low. Ron Lewis is their senior leader and with out him they wouldn't be here right now. He came up with the game tieing shot that sent them into overtime against Xavier and was a huge reason why they were able to have that historic comeback against Tennessee and they will need his late game heroics tonight if they are to win.

2. A far superior bench-

I am the type of guy that loves to see a team with a deep and talented bench. And the Gators don't have that, they have two to three guys that can come off the bench and still play solid, but the Buckeyes have four to five guys that could easily be starters that can come off the bench and play well. Ivan Harris, Jamar Butler and the talented freshmen Daequan Cook and David Lightly can all score and play defense. I expect Lightly to get a lot of playing time, because he can guard anyone from Noah to Green and do it very well if Greg Oden gets into foul trouble.

3. The Fab Three-

They aren't the Fab Five that Michigan had but the way these freshmen play for coach Matta, it is something special to watch. Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr and Daequan Cook all average over 10 points per game and Oden leads the team in points, rebounds and blocks and Conley leads them in assist(with 6.1) and straight awesomeness. And don't forget about Lightly, who I expect to be a starter next year if Oden does indeed leave for the NBA.

And now onto my pick, I love both teams, but i'm going with the Buckeyes in a close down-to-the-wire game. I think Conley will take over the game and give Ohio State the tempo and with their bench, Oden downlow and Lewis' shooting I think they will pull off the upset.

And here is a very funny video of Noah responding to Ron Lewis' comments.
