Breaking the Gold Record

Posted by Shannon Burt on Monday, March 1, 2010, In : Sports 
             I have to admit a few days ago I had my doubts about our boys pulling it off.  I know I don’t have to go through the play by play because everyone was watching, but did they have to make it so dramatic?!   LOL   I mean it seemed like a plot right out of a movie.  The coolest thing that came out of these Olympics is the fact that our women had such a great showing on the podium.  If it wasn’t for everyone’s hard work we would have never beat the record for most gold medals i...

Olympics on the Big Screen

Posted by Shannon Burt on Saturday, February 27, 2010, In : Sports 

        Cineplex Entertainment and CTV have been broadcasting the Olympics since the opening ceremonies.  Last night was the first time I experienced the games on the big screen.  It was really cool how the night came to be!  My plans had fallen through for the night so I thought I’d check out at least one game in super size J On the way out of my building I ran into my buddy Mike, who had gotten of work early.  Perfect timing if you ask me. He was just going to watch the game at home.  I c...

The Saints ran away with the show.  Matt Stover, of the Indianapolis Colts put the first points on the board and at 42 years of age, is the oldest player to ever suit up for the Super Bowl.  It looked like the Colts were well on their way in the first quarter with ten unanswered points.  But man!  The Saints came out fighting after half time.  The Who rocked the house during halftime and perpetuated the energy for the Saints.  The opening kickoff of the second half was the start of the end...

Super Bowl Sunday

Posted by Shannon Burt on Sunday, February 7, 2010, In : Sports 

This year’s Super Bowl is sure to impress the football fan in all of us.  The Indianapolis Colts are veterans to the Championship game, while the New Orleans Saints enter their debut.  I think the half time show will be one for the record books.  The Who have finally made it to the big game.  Pete Townshend said the hardest thing was ``putting 40 years of music into twelve minutes."
