pro bowl..not full of pro bowlers


Having the pro bowl on the weekend before the Superbowl was a bad idea.Since the pro bowlers that are on the 2 teams in the superbowl dont play in the pro bowl it leaves out 14 starters from the roster,and some players that either lost in the division championships or are injured dont have to play either,so there is a bunch more not playing.

So the NFL has to go out and find players to fill the pro bowl roster,but these players were not selected by the fans or the media,they are just fill-ins.Like Vince Young is in the pro bowl,but he started the season on the bench and only played maybe half the games this year,but since so many people are opting out of the game ,fill-ins is what we get.The probowl players from the Saints and the Colts players are forced to be present at the probowl,then the teams want them to fly back home and return a week later in Miami so they can arrive as a team..this makes no sense...I think the pro bowl should be after the superbowl like it used to.

Tim Hortons parking

ive seen people park at tim hortons in a weird way..the Tin Hortons on Starrs road has a spot next to the road where you can pass through the parking lot,but some people park there,hell ive parked there myself..but the problem is that other people park behind you,thats not the problem either,the problem is that some people park next to you which blocks the passage way throught the parking lot.
Another thing i see is that people park in handicap zones because there is snow on the ground,but parking in a handicap zone even if the snow is covering the painted handicap zone picture,it is still illegal.

Fishing is starting




- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Well fishing is starting.let's hope that the price of lobster opens at an alright price.and that it goes up fast.
The lobster buyers gave us adoom and gloom story last year and the price went up by Xmas,so the lobster cars are being built,and people look like they will hold their lobster for a better price.
Let's hope for good weather and good luck to everyone...and dump your pots way to the west away from us...lol..just kidding...but not really.

so i hear the price of lobster on opening day will be ?

So i hear that the price of lobster on opening day will be 5.00$.
that is good news because last year it opened at 3.25$..the lobster buyers told us that after christmas that they might not be able to buy our lobsters,so everyone sold at a crappy price,and by new years the price went to 8.00 bucks.Everyone that was not a fisherman said"oh wow 8 bucks,that must make the fisherman happy"..well not really,if anything it pissed me off more,it deosnt help me if we all sold our lobster because of the scare tactics of the buyers.
So the gloom and doom story has been used,and even after all the gloom and doom of last year the price did go up by new year.so they cant use the same story twice.Thanks to their scare tactics i lost about 10,000 dollars last year cause of the buyers,so if we get less than 5.00 bucks a pound i will be pissed.
Someone said once"well the buyers only make 35 cents a pound"oh well in that case i have one thing to say...boo fucking hoo..do the math,if a buyer buys 2 million pounds..which alot do..they just made a measly 700,000$..so to think we have to go out there and fish and make thousands of dollars less doesnt seem fair.
the economic crisis would be over if the buyers could give us a fair price...where is fair trade when you need it.

Cowboys Stadium opens,price tag 1.2 billion,but wait there is a problem.


The economic downturn did not hit Texas just yet,last night the Dallas Cowboys opened their new stadium that cost an amazing 1.2 billion dollars.

The scoreboard and jumbo screen is 60ft long and 90ft high.The biggest of its kind,but there is a problem,some of the kickers were hitting the scoreboard at practise before the game.

Titans kicker exposes problem in Cowboys Stadium - ESPN: "The Tennessee Titans felt they exposed a major flaw in Cowboys Stadium during the first football game played in the building when reserve punter A.J. Trapasso hit the gigantic HD screen that hangs over the field."

The owner of the Cowboys said that a punter would have to kick it straight up and very hard to hit the board,in the game you wouldnt come close to that thing.The kicker for Tennessee Trapasso said he didn't try to hit the board during the game, but admitted warm-ups were different.

Brett Favre is coming back

Brett Favre is coming back,at 39 years old he is coming out of retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings.He will be in derect competition with his old team the GreenBay Packers for a playoff birth.this move gives the Vikings the best chance to reach the superbowl,because the other 2 Quarterbacks are not very good.Sage Rosenfels and Tavaris Jackson have been competing for the starting job,Sage had single handedly lost 3 games for Houston last year by running around and instead of throwing the ball away he was fumbling the ball more than throwing it,Tavaris Jackson would be the better option but now with Brett Favre signed and on the practise field,he will be the new starter and will give them the best chance to win this year.
The Vikings have the best running back in the game with Adrian Peterson,a good receiver in Bernard Barion,and a great new rookie receiver in Percy Harvin,and a good back up running back and third down weapon in Chester Taylor,so with Favre they will be tough to beat.
im totally sycked for Football this year.

$50,000 fine and two-year licence suspension handed down in case of largest seizure of illegal lobsters in the Atlantic provinces


novanewsnow.com Sou'Wester $50,000 fine and two-year licence suspension handed down in case of largest seizure of illegal lobsters in the Atlantic provinces: "A Yarmouth County fishing captain has been fined $50,000 and suspended from lobster fishing for two years in what the court was told Friday was the largest seizure of illegal undersized lobsters ever in the Atlantic provinces.
Its a shame that this had to happen to a nice guy,but he brought this on himself,so its hard to feel sorry,but if people think for a minute that this man is the only one thats doing illegal activities,your dead wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of fisherman haul a few more trawls and a few more traps than allowed.

Daniel Edward Doucette of Wedgeport was sentenced in provincial court in Yarmouth on Aug. 14 after pleading guilty months ago to possession of undersized lobsters.

With just five days left in the commercial lobster season in May 2008, DFO fishery officers ¬– following up on tips of illegal activity – seized the fishing vessel Kayla and Dylan at the Wedgeport Tuna Wharf. On the lobster boat were crates containing 5,330 illegal-sized lobsters that had been brought back to shore."

During Doucette’s sentencing hearing, the court was told that removing that many lobsters from the ocean equated to the removal of five to six million lobster eggs from the future resource. In this case the lobsters were returned to the water but the Crown noted that was only because the accused had been caught. In handing down his sentence, Judge Robert Prince said it was imperative that an important message be sent out that the lobster resource must be protected. Illegal activities of this type, the judge said, will carry a very large price tag indeed.
