Swine Flu causing more headaches.

Texas officials postponed all public high school athletic and academic competitions on Wednesday until May 11Th because of the Swine flu outbreak. This movement suspended the baseball and softball seasons and the regional track championships that were to start on Friday."The health and safety of our student activity participants is of the utmost importance," Breithaupt said. "Taking every possible precaution to prevent the further spreading of this disease is an important contribution to the welfare of our great state, and altering the schedule of our events is a way to keep our participants safe." 53,000 students are out of school due to the virus. More than a dozen of schools were closed to be sanitized. There has been 16 confirmed cases of swine flu in Texas. Texas isn't the only school that canceled. Alabama officials have shut down all athletic events following the discovery of likely cases of swine flu in Huntsville. There was suppose to be state track and field championships this weekend but now they will have to be rescheduled. "This is not something we want to do," Savarese said. "Right now, we want to be cautious."

Orlando Magics' Dwight Howard will have miss game 6, because of the elbow he swung at the head of 76ers center Samuel Dalembert in Tuesday's Game 5 and will join teammate Courtney lee on the sideline. Who also was hit my Howard unintentionally. Howard wound up totalling 24 points and a career playoff-best 24 rebounds to power Orlando to a 91-78 home win and nudge a the magic into a 3-2 series lead. Howard's hit on teammate left the rookie guard with a fractured sinus. The Magic have Tony Battie to replace Howard for game 6. 76ers won game 1 and 3 by 2 points each.

Miami draft picks and more.


After coming off a great year going 11-5 and winning the division. I thought the Dolphins did a great job with the picks that choose. In the first round we picked up Vontae Davis a corner from Illinois. He Had 206 Tackles, 3 forced fumbles, and 7 interceptions to finish out his career. I believe this was an excellent pick up, just because we really needed help at the corner position. Our next pick in the draft went to Pat White from West Virginia. He had a 142.41 Passer rating and 21 touchdowns. He ended up with a career high 6,051 yards and a total of 56 touchdowns. He will help the Fins by stepping up the ability to run the crazy offense called "the Wildcat." Pat White and Ronnie Brown is a great combination to run that offense. They said that their going to keep White a the QB position. This means that John Beck had lost his position. The GM Ireland said that they only want three quarterback and that Beck just couldn't pull it through. Even though when they drafted Beck they thought we was going to be the future of the team. Doesn't look like it now. The Fins also selected another corner in the second round. Sean Smith From Utah finished his college career with only 75 tackles and 9 interceptions. This guy is a player when the ball is in his hands.

Jason wants to come back to Miami?


Jason Taylor admitted today that he has been talking to the Miami Dolphins about possible return. I like this idea, but if he would return i don't want him our Dancing with the Stars again. If He comes back he will need to be 110% committed to the team. Taylor can't stomach the idea of playing for the New York Jets. Which I think I is quite funny. After how many years playing against them and having to hate them, and then finally having to play for them just makes me laugh. But I guess you got to swallow any animosity when they are playing your bills. He says that he is still very committed to the Dolphins and the players. "No one was Happier when they went to New York and beat those guys" in the regular season finale to clinch the AFC East championship. Taylor has definitely put in the time and hard work and i would like to see him come back and eventually retire a Fin.
