Veterans Day

Tomorrow is 11/11/11 but more importantly it’s Veterans Day. So, go out and support the veterans and our active troops. Happy Veterans Day.

Game Winning Patrick Peterson

Patrick Peterson ran for a 99 yard punt return in overtime to win the game Sunday against the Rams. That is Peterson’s third punt return of his rookie year, breaking the Cardinals total team record of two ever. Hopefully Peterson can continue to be a spark, with Kevin Kolb likely out next week.

Mark Goudeau, the “Baseline Killer” was found guilty of nine murders on Monday, October 31, 2011. He killed eight women and one man, each with a gun shot to the head. Prosecutors accused the 47 year old Goudeau of attacking 33 people during a 13-month span. The spree started in August 2005 and endedwith his capture in September 2006. Goudeau has yet to be sentenced, lucky for him because the prosecution is seeking the death penalty.

 

Congratulations Glendale

Super Bowl

Yesterday, it was announced the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale Arizona will be the site of the 2015 Super Bowl. Glendale held the epic 2008 super bowl between the Giants and the Patriots. Which was a great help in securing the 2015 Super Bowl. Having the experience of hosting a Super Bowl before will make it cheaper and easier for city officials to plan and execute the 2015 super bowl. The economic impact of hosting a Super Bowl is tremendous and will be felt through out the Phoenix metropolitan area. Go Glendale and Go Super Bowl 2015.
