The NFL wild card weekend is upon us and here are the teams doing battle this weekend to continue there quest to the Super Bowl.

Saturdays Games:
Falcons vs. Cardinals (NBC)
Colts vs. Chargers (NBC)

Sundays Games:
Ravens vs. Dolphins (CBS)
Eagles vs. Vikings (FOX)

Now I’m pretty happy that Dallas did NOT make the playoffs.  Yes I know I’m from this area, but never have been and most likely will not be a cowboys fan.  That is OK.  I’m a true home town fan of my ever losing Seattle Seahawks.  Now in the past they have done pretty well but the last couple of years they keep going down hill.  Next year is a new coach and hopefully everyone will be healed.

I would like to see the Cardinals, Colts, Dolphins and the Vikings make this round.  Of course that is who I would like to see win and move on.

It’s been a busy week and haven’t had much time to write much so I thought I would do some local shorts for some things that are going on around the area I live.

Irving: In a tragic accident two 18 year old men were cruising along at a high rate of speed on their motorcycles lost control and struck the wall of the overpass they were on and was thrown over and his friend behind him collided with him and was thrown over as well.  Smith was pronounced dead at the scene and Wright was taken to the hospital and later died due to his injuries.

Fort Worth: A man died after he was found on I-30 in Fort Worth last night.  Indications show that he was struck by a car, however there are no witnesses.

Arlington: I think this is bad…  A 23 year old Arlington man (Parks) was sentenced to 10 years PROBATION for the death of a teenager and causing serious injury of during a 2007 DWI collision.  I’m sorry WHAT, Probation only?  Oh but wait, the judge ordered him to 6 months in jail and the probation..  Come on people.  This guy drove drunk and killed someone and gets only 6 months..  Parks Blood-Alcohol level was .15 (almost twice legal limit) – So sad..

NFL – Cowboys: Ok I’m not really a fan but they start the NFL season this Sunday in Cleveland against the Browns.  Go Seahawks..!!!  lol – see I told you I wasn’t a cowboys fan and I can still live here and still cheer for the Seahawks!!!…  =)
