Quebec Building New Arena
It seems a little bit crazy that Quebec plans on building a new NHL-style arena beginning in September. The arena should cost approximately $400 million dollars that the taxpayers will be paying for. The arena will also hold 18,000 people. Building a new arena in this economy seems to be unnecessary, but if people are willing to pay then there is no stopping it. Any new arena, stadium, or park that is built (unless for safety reasons) seems to be unnecessary. Either way, its not my money that I am paying for this new stadium, so if they have the money in Canada, more power to them!

Joba Chamberlain
Joba's not so good luck!
Joba Chamberlain is not having such good luck in his career. Chamberlain recently broke his ankle by having the bone tear through the skin. This occurred while bouncing on a trampoline when playing with his son. Chamberlain was set to return in June from an elbow ligament replacement surgery, but now there is no telling when he will return to the Yankees. He will be in a cast for six weeks due to his ankle injury.

Manning's Release
Manning's Release
Peyton Manning has been released from the Indianapolis Colts. Rumors started on Tuesday, March 6, but an official news release was not supposed to be made until Wednesday, March 7. Some other teams looking at Manning are the 49ers and Redskins. Either way, Manning is a free agent and now has the choice to decide what he wants to do.
I think this move made by the Colts was the most idiotic thing they could have done. Manning was the star player of the Colts and once he is able to play again, will continue to be the star quarterback for any team. Manning proved what an impact he made on the Colts from a winning season to a losing season when he could not play this past year. Manning is by far one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Now only time will tell what his final decision will be...

Hopes for Crosby
Hopes for Crosby
Sidney Crosby practiced with the Pittsburgh Penguins in full practice for the first time since December. Crosby hopes to keep the momentum going by being able to keep practicing. Coach Dan Bylsma understands Crosby's injury and concerns, but be a typical coach, wants to see Crosby back in full swing as soon as possible. Crosby does not have a timeline for himself because he does not want to get his hopes that he can return sooner or later than predicted. There is growing optimism that Crosby will be back before the playoffs, but it is still uncertain.

I personally see Crosby's injury as life-threatening. I do not think many people realize how little is known about concussions and how unpredictable they can truly be. I believe Crosby is a professional athlete that would not baby a situation like this because hockey is his job, his life, and his passion.

Burnett's Bust
Burnett's Bust?!
AJ Burnett got hurt hitting the other day in Florida for spring training with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The video above discuesses his transition to the Pirates and that he is happy to be back in the National League. Although Burnett was not used to batting in the American League, tables are turned now that he is with the Pirates. He will have surgery on Friday, May 2. There seems to be no telling the timeline of his recovery. Burnett is supposed to be the starter for the Piraties opener, so the Pirates hope to see him have a quick and speedy recovery.
I have always wondered why the rule differs for the National League and American League for pitchers. I did not do research on this topic, but I think it is silly that a pitcher has to bat in the National League, but not the American League. I have no opinion either way, but it should be consistent straight across the board.
