The Green Bay packers lost their game on Monday night on a play that should have been called differently. The Packers intercepted a ball clearly in the endzone but the refs called it a touchdown because the offensive player caught the ball which was clearly wrong. Even if you are not a Packers fan, you would agree that the wrong call was made. But the NFL has agreed to keep the call the same to protect the crappy replacement refs. The call should be overturned but the NFL is to afraid to change the outcome because they dont want a bad reputation but right now the reputation of the NFL is destroyed.

More Housing being sold and less foreclosed?
In August the market of houses being sold and being built have been at a high since 2006. Less houses are being foreclosed on lately and more people have been building. People have been buying more houses now because the price has dropped so low that is in the range for average buyers to buy the house that that love. Even with these sales rising, by the end of the year the financial state will be about halfway back to where it should be. This is the start of the economy becoming normal again and the start of businesses rising back up, at least I believe so.

Al Pocino the new Paterno?
Al Pacino is eying up a possible movie that will be about the life of the late Joe Paterno. Joe Paterno was the best coach in college football history arguably and Al Pacino wants to play his character in a biography film. The film hasn't been started yet and hasn't had screen-writing or anything done yet with it but there are many people pushing for the film. It would be based on a biography written by Joe Posnanski over the last two years. The book starts when Joe Paterno was a little boy and how he grew up and became the face of college football to his death in January. If this film happens, i will be watching it.

Push off Push worth over $250 million?!
On August 26, 2012, the biggest trade in quite some time or even baseball history was completed. It also marked the most expensive trade in any sport's history.The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a deal with the Boston Red Sox bringing them 3 big name all-stars in Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett along with utility infielder Nick Punto. The Dodgers sent away their first baseman and pretty much depleted an already depleted minor league system that they had. Not only did they kill their system they also picked up more than $250 million in salary through the 2018 season. This all went down to "guarantee" a playoff spot for the Dodgers but it really isn't working out yet. So as of now the Dodgers just spent millions of dollars to see their system dwindle away to nothing and end up with older washed up players.
