Insightful words from a football player

Remember when your days in the spotlight is over and its your time to play your role as a on-looker remember people wont remember you by what you do, but by who you are as a person... so my word to a young talent that's maybe making a mark for his/herself people is watching every little move you make to see how you respond to everything rather good or bad... maybe you not in the spotlight but you are a well known person in your city/town and we all know smaller cities people talk like it's a hobby ... so give them something good to talk about when they refer to you instead of you see that girl over there I seen her last night with that boy she aint nothing but a fast girl or that boy stay in so much trouble that im surprised he aint got locked up yet.. cause the BIBLE tell's us a GOOD NAME is better then GREAT RICHES, and LOVING FAVOUR is better than SILVER and GOLD Proverbs 22:1; and to my brothers and sisters out there that got friend indulging in the bad things in life and you know id get rid of them for.

This was borrowed from Mr. James Ford Jr. affectionatly reffered to in El Dorado as Jimmy Ford the Linebacker.

The news

Well I went to the cardiologist in LR yesterday and he said that the narrowing the doctors in El Do saw is no longer there. He did however tell me that my heart is slightly thickened and enlarged but that these symptoms are probably from my high blood pressure. So he said that no I will not drop dead of a heart attack but that he would suggest to my doctor here that he put me on blood pressure medicine. I will also be receiving a new asthma medicine for daily use. On a good note my regular doctor is wanting me to lose weight ant I've lost three.

And in other news for those of you interested I'll be launching a new blog named Sportsline this Friday at 12:00 noon kicking off with a segment called Football Fridays. For those of you interested in following I'll be covering MLB,NFL,NBA,NHL,NCAA Football,NCAA Basketball,UFC, and local high school football and basketball.

So to all my followers out there I'll see ya'll later!

The Lowdown

I would like first and foremost to say thanks for all the prayers ya'll! For those of you who don't know Ive been having some test ran and just got a new slew of doctors appointments today. I would like to say I'm not worried but I am. I know it is all up to God but the human side of me still worries. On another note the Indianapolis Colts start out the season 0-3 without Peyton Manning. They also just lost two more starters for the rest of the season and have another new QB. The NBA season looks more a more in jeopardy. So looks like no Spurs basketball this year. In baseball news I would like to congratulate The St. Louis Cardinals for making the playoffs after overcoming a 8 1/2 game lead held by the Atlanta Braves until the end of game 162 (Sorry Jon). In the racing world Dale Earnhardt Jr. made the chase for the Nascar Sprint cup this year. And he currently sits eighth in points. I guess that is all for now, check back later!

God bless ya'll,
Stephen Love

Edge

I love to watch wrestling,but I never would have guessed what went down on last Monday's Raw. That was until Adam"Edge"Copeland announced his Retirement. It is due to a ligate spine injury. It would mean that one of the greatest wrestlers would be no more.He will have to vacate the World title on Smackdown! as he leaves. He will no doubt be in the WWE Hall of Fame some day. He has won more championships combined than anybody ever. He has accomplished more than most, but cervical spinal stenosis has cut one of the greatest careers ever short. So as tonight we say goodbye to the Rated R superstar, Lets for the benefit of those with flash photography A 5 Second Pose.......
