Dodgers Vs Fox
Today in the news was a huge sports story involving the Dodgers and Fox Sports. After the team claimed to be bankrupt a few months ago there problems just got a lot worse . Frank Mccourt the owner of the Dodgers has been trying to negotiate a deal related to T.V sales right with Fox sports to save them from being complety bankrupt and they dont own the rights to the T.V Sales. Not only is Fox suing them but Frank Mccourt and his ex wife are still feuding over who had the right to the team. All this combined has made me wonder if this is the end for the Los Angelos Dodgers. I certaintly think that the team will atleast be sent to a new town becuase this franchise has been moving backwards for months and Bud Selig has had enough.

Oregon Football Jerseys
In 1996 Nike made an endorsement deal with Oregon University Football.Oregon has been given a new jersey for every game of the season. The jerseys are different combinations of designs and colors and are catching a lot of attention. Not only are they getting free jerseys for every game they also are being payed for it. This is one of the biggest examples of gross endorsement I have ever seen, and its starting to pay off for Nike because it has drawn a lot of attention.Oregon has not worn the same jersey back to back since 2003 which shows you how many jerseys they have gotten. This is also making a lot of money because people will want all different kinds of jerseys so the more you have the better.All in all I think this was good move for both sides of the deal.

2nd Chances?
It has recently come to my attention that many people are still furious that Mike Vick is in the NFL. After Mike Vick signed an 100 million dollar deal to play with the Eagles the topic of should he be allowed back has come up once again. I believe that if you serve the time for what you did wrong and turn your life around for the better you should be given another shot. I'm not saying that in anyway way I condone any of Mike Vick's actions in the past but I feel like he should be forgiven. Even if you don't like him as a player or person you should not hold something over his head forever. I also think if Mike Vick slips up again after being given a second chance he should not be allowed back in the NFL.
