"Miracle" USSR Pre-Game Speech

"Miracle " starring Kurt Russell was a great hockey movie. I remember watching the game between the USA and Russia in the 1980 Winter Olympics. I thought there was no way the USA could win. Well, there went my prediction.

The speech given by Russell, who portrayed Herb Brooks was amazing. It really got my hair standing up.

Thank God for sports and the inspiration that they bring. I do not know if Brooks spoke the exact words that Russell used, but I like to think he did.

This movie is a "must see" for all sports fans and all motivation seekers out there.

"Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it." - Kurt Russell playing Herb Brooks in "Miracle."

Anchor Baby Wins Gold Medal For USA

Henry Cejudo, the son of Mexican criminal aliens, won a gold medal for the United States in the freestyle 55-kilogram wrestling.

Read the story here.

I have a BIG problem with this. An anchor child wins a gold medal for our country and we are suppose to forget that his birth was the act of criminals?



"I'm proud of my Mexican heritage," Cejudo said. "But I'm an American. It's the best country in the world. They call it the land of opportunity, and it is. Maybe if some other kid watches this, he can do the same." - Henry Cejudo

Miss USA Keeps Crown

Donald Trump, who owns the rights to Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and Miss Universe, has decided that 2006 Miss USA Tara Conner can keep her crown.



That decision is a disgrace!!! She should have lost her crown!

She knew how she was to act when she won the crown; and CHOSE not to follow the rules and regulations associated with her position.

She broke the law (drinking underage), acted innappropriately (supposedly kissing and acting up in public with Miss Teen USA) and having men in her condo that is supplied by the pageant organization.

She knew how she was to act, and was suppose to be a role model to women girls everywhere. Instead she acts like Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, and any one of many trashy young women in the public eye and gets a free pass.

She stated she was going to rehab. All those “Hollywood” types get caught with their indiscretions and head for rehab.

I guess they figure that is an easy way to get out of their problems.

Trump should have been tougher and acted like a honorable man. I guess the phrase “You’re Fired” is just a line from a television show.
