Christmas, taxes, and punt returns

written by:stacia_doss.
I think that Desean Jackson's (Philadephia Eagles WR)punt return against the New York Giants on Sunday was one of the most phenomonal plays I've seen in a while. If you haven't seen it..here it is.

After having the lead for most of the game, the Giants faltered to the Eagles with the help of their talented quarterback, Michael Vick. Desean Jackson simply put the icing on the cake with his 77 yard punt return.

But don't worry,(if you were wondering),Giants' punter Matt Dodge is still employed. He can't be totally blamed for the team's loss.

In other news, The Tennessee Titans were somehow able to snap a six game losing streak on Sunday in their second meeting against the Houston Texans. Tennessee closed the game out with a 31-17 victory. Good for them.

Good news pertaining me, and several other Americans is that President Obama signed a 'holiday-season tax bill extending cuts for all Americans' on Friday.

This sounds like a bill that will pretty much help all Americans and I'm glad he and the GOP could finally come to a compromise. I look forward to economic progress in the future.

If, by some chance, I don't get an opportunity to post between now and Christmas, have a Merry one, or a Happy "Whatever it is you choose to celebrate" Day! :)

For the sake of scoring...do the Jefferson! :)

Pretty Speechless

For once, I don't have much to say...let's see. Some key things that happened this week that I thought were vital in mentioning were:

*The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with a 98-96 victory Tuesday night. (But they faltered to the Atlanta Hawks in a close loss 112-109 Thursday night.)

* President Barack Obama announced that government employees will receive a two-year pay freeze, which yielded very mix reviews. (I remember Rand Paul mentioning he wanted to do this...hmm)

* The Democrats and Republicans agreed to negotiate and find a compromise on Bush-era tax cuts. (Finally, some tiny hope of unity.)

* Lots of important government (that we probably didn't need to know) information was released on "Wikileaks".

* People across the world wore red and spread awareness for World AIDS Day..(I can't stress how important it is to know your status!)

And I pretty much have no comment on any of the matters...other than the minor ones stated. That's all, folks!
