The Cowboys are losing their “Pride of Texas” image to the Houston Texans, a young and upcoming team that will probably make the playoffs this year. On the other hand, the New York Giants are coming off winning the ultimate prize as underdogs twice in the last 5 years, so nobody knows what they are capable of doing this year.
US Open of Tennis
On Saturday September 8th, make sure to catch the finals of the US Open tennis matches. Andy Roddick has announced that this will be his last tournament that he plays before he retires. So far Andy is still in the mix, so you might want to tune into watching some of his few remaining booming serves.
NHL Strike
NHL Lockout
Did you know that there might not be any hockey this fall? The player’s have gone on strike, and the owners have locked the doors to the arenas. So if the Mayans were right and December marks the end of the World, we’ll probably never see another NHL game again… Long live the LA Kings!!!
Major League Baseball Bonus
