Steelers Handle Lowly Lions
Posted by Ross Everett | Filed under Recreation & Sports
The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves an unlikely ally in an all too close road game against the Detroit Lions: the fans. With Steelers’ fans at times appearing to outnumber Lions’ supporters, the Steelers got a late game boost from their enthusiasm. On the field, Ben Roethlisberger threw a season high three touchdown passes as the Steelers survived by a final score of 28-20. Pittsburgh improved to 3-2 with the victory, while Detroit dropped to 1-4.
NFL betting enthusiasts who backed the Lions as +11 home underdogs were rewarded with the pointspread cover. The Lions have covered two of their five games this season, while the Steelers slumped to 1-4 against the number. The 48 combined points scored went OVER the posted total of 44. Both teams have gone OVER in three of their five games this year, with the Steelers exceeding the total in three straight.
After the game, the biggest topic of conversation was the vocal support of the Pittsburgh fans. Linebacker LaMarr Woodley said that they were making so much noise that it undermined the Detroit offense’s effort:
“That worked in our favor. Those offensive linemen couldn’t hear the snap count, so they had to watch the ball just like we do.”
Hines Ward said it evoked memories of the 2006 Superbowl at the venue:
“It brought back a lot of memories. We had just as many fans as we did that time.”
Head coach Mike Tomlin added his props:
“Man, they traveled awesome. It was spectacular to stand on the visiting sideline and see the fan support that we had today in this building.”
Lions’ coach Jim Schwartz took some consolation from his team’s effort in the loss:
“We didn’t always play smart in that game and we didn’t always play well, but I’m proud that we battled the whole way. There were a couple places where it would have been easy for us to give in, and we didn’t do that.”
Daunte Culpepper started at quarterback for the Lions and echoed his coach’s sentiments:
“I still think we have a good ballclub here, but a good ballclub will look at a situation like this and use it to find a way to start winning these games. That’s what we have to find a way to do.”
The Steelers return home for their next two games. They’ll host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, with the Steelers a -14 home favorite and the total set at 38. The Minnesota Vikings will come to town the following Sunday and after a bye week Pittsburgh will head west to face the surprising Denver Broncos on Monday, November 9. The Lions will play at Green Bay this weekend as a +13 road underdog with the total set at 48.

Atlanta Tops St. Louis In NFL Preseason Action
Posted by Ross Everett | Filed under Recreation & Sports
It may only be preseason in the NFL, but the Atlanta Falcons are making a statement that they’ll be a factor in the NFC. The Falcons starters behind QB Matt Ryan were almost flawless, and left the reserves with a 14-0 lead before eventually beating the St. Louis Rams 20-13 at the Edward Jones Dome on Friday night. Both teams are now 1-1 in NFL preseason action.
Running back Michael Turner was unstoppable in his limited playing time, churning out 65 yards in the Falcons opening drive. After the game, he confirmed that the Falcons offense had placed a priority on sound execution:
“We wanted to come out and execute. They were preaching that all week and we wanted to show that on game day. We’re way better than we were last year at this time.”
Quarterback Matt Ryan was 7 of 8 for 81 yards and a touchdown pass before he called it a night. Tony Gonzalez caught Ryans TD pass and after the game was effusive in his praise for the young signal caller:
“He’s a great quarterback. It’s obvious he’s figuring things out. He has a great arm, talent, and knows how to play with poise.”
It was a disappointing home debut for new Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, who saw his team blown away from the opening whistle before a half empty stadium:
“Just like I said to the team, we’d have liked to have started out a little better. You’ve got to come out and take it to them.”
Rams safety O.J. Atogwe echoed his coach’s sentiments:
“This was a fabulous game for us. That’s the reason you play the preseason. Going against a team like Atlanta, a top-caliber team, it allows us to reassess what we’ve been doing.”
Falcons coach Mike Smith, meanwhile, was enthused about the improved play of his rushing defense:
“We were much improved against the run. It’s something we have to continue to get better at. We still had some missteps.”
The Falcons will continue NFL preseason play next Friday night as they host the San Diego Chargers at the Georgia Dome. The Rams will play the Bengals at Cincinnati next Thursday night.

Miami Beats Bucs To Remain Undefeated In NFL Preseason Play
Posted by Ross Everett | Filed under Recreation & Sports
Success in the NFL mandates that even when teams aren’t playing their best they need to find a way to win. The Miami Dolphins found a way to win ugly in their NFL preseason battle of Florida on Thursday night. After spotting the Bucs a 6-0 lead, Miami used a late first half field goal and scored the only touchdown of the second half to comeback for the 10-6 win. The victory improved Miamis preseason NFL record to a perfect 3-0 while Tampa Bay dropped to 1-2.
A starting QB battle in Tampa was the biggest storyline of the game and veteran Byron Leftwich appears to have gained the edge over Luke McCown. Bucs coach Raheem Morris has indicated that hell be making a decision soon, though he refused to show his cards in postgame media comments:
“Obviously you want somebody to jump up and take it. We’ll find out when we go back, look at the tape and evaluate this thing.”
McCown had a rough night, with two sacks and no points scored. He gained 38 yards on 5 for 11 passing and after the game gave a verbose no comment on his status as starter:
“It’s not for me to say. … My part in it is preparing every day, being the best I can be and getting better from my mistakes. As long as I feel like I’m doing that, then I’m OK.”
Leftwich, meanwhile, was 9 of 17 for 100 yards and came up big on several third down completions. He had very little to add after the game:
“Hopefully, I’m the guy. I felt good. I missed a few, but I hit a few also. Luckily for me on the ones I missed, I made plays on the following play to get those first downs.”
Bucs running back Cadillac Williams returned to action after major knee surgery seven months ago. Afterwards, he said the knee problems of the past few years are currently not an issue:
“The knee is not an issue to me. … I feel great. I’m just loving what I do.”
The game had several delays due to rain and lightening, the longest a 45 minute stoppage Dolphins QB Chad Pennington said that its hard to evaluate his team’s performance due to the strange starts and stops:
“It was a very odd game for us, as far as the rain delay, a lot of stoppages of play and things like that We were able to come out get a score before halftime and get a score after the half. We’ll build on that. We’ll be critical of ourselves and make sure we don’t let a win overshadow what we need to do to get better.”
Miami will get the NFL regular season underway against the Atlanta Falcons at The Georgia Dome on Sunday, September 13. Tampa Bay will welcome the Dallas Cowboys to The Cigar City on the same day to kick off their 2009 campaign.

Broncos Throttle Host Falcons In College Football Action
Posted by Ross Everett | Filed under Recreation & Sports
Bowling Green played Boise State tough on their home field this weekend–at least for one quarter. Things looked good for the host Falcons at the end of the first quarter, as they’d held the #6 ranked Broncos scoreless and were right in the thick of things in a scoreless game. It was all downhill from that point for Bowling Green, as Boise State exploded for 29 unanswered second quarter points. The Broncos would eventually win 49-14, improving to 4-0 on the season.
The Broncos easily covered as -16 road favorites. The 63 combined points went OVER the posted total of 51. Boise State needed four plays or less on their first six scoring drives, and amassed a season high 529 yards of total offense. Their defense also forced the Falcons into three costly turnovers.
Boise State coach Chris Petersen had insisted on more quick strike scoring drives in the week before the Bowling Green game. They most definitely delivered, and the coach commented to their performance after the contest:
“On offense, that’s always the name of the game. It makes it a lot easier when you don’t have those 15- and 17-play drives.”
Broncos quarterback Kellen Moore threw 17 completions in 21 pass attempts for a total of 247 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. After the game, Moore indicated that his team wasnt resting on their impressive season to date performance:
“There’s a lot of football to go and a lot of things to work on.
Coach Petersen concurred with his quarterbacks mindset:
“These guys are a fairly mature bunch and if not, we have a staff of mature coaches to keep them focused.
Bowling Green head coach Dave Clawson sounded somewhat in awe of the Broncos ‘quick strike’ offense:
“That’s what they do. When they have 500 yards of offense, it will always be 10 to 12 plays where half their offense came from.”
The Broncos, who are enjoying their highest regular season ranking in school history, looked sharp all around on offense despite the absence of second leading rusher DJ Harper. Harper is likely out for the year after a knee injury.
Bowling Green will take a step down in class of opposition next weekend as they host the Ohio Bobcats. Theyll play on the road the next two weeks, traveling to Kent State and Ball State. Boise will return home for a game against FCS opponent UC Davis next Saturday. Theyll play on the road at Tulsa the following weekend, before enjoying a bye week.

Saints Top Vikings To Advance To Superbowl
Posted by Ross Everett | Filed under Recreation & Sports
Until Sunday, it looked as if the return of Brett Favre to the NFL would have a storybook ending and propel the Minnesota Vikings to the Superbowl. Instead, the New Orleans Saints will be heading to the Superbowl for the first time in franchise history. Garrett Hartley nailed a 40 yard field goal in overtime to give the Saints a 31-28 victory in the NFC Championship game after Brett Favre was intercepted deep in Saints territory during the final seconds of regulation. Favre may be headed back to retirement, while the Saints are headed to Miami to play the biggest game of them all.
The Vikings did reward NFL betting fans who took them as +4 underdogs with a pointspread cover. Minnesota finished the season a solid 11-6-1 against the NFL pointspread. The 59 combined points scored went OVER the posted total of 53′. The Saints went OVER for the second consecutive game after playing four straight UNDER verdicts to close out the regular season.
After the game, head coach Sean Payton drew an analogy to the city of New Orleans’ recovery after Hurricane Katrina:
“This is for everybody in this city. This stadium used to have holes in it and used to be wet. It’s not wet anymore. This is for the city of New Orleans.”
Winning quarterback Drew Brees extended that same metaphor:
“In reality, we had to lean on each other in order to survive and in order to get where we are now. The city is on its way to recovery, and in a lot of ways has come back better than ever. We’ve used the strength and resiliency of our fans to go out and play every Sunday and play with the confidence that we can do it, that we can achieve everything we’ve set out to achieve.”
Place kicker Hartley was low key despite securing the victory with his overtime field goal:
“Just helping my team get to Miami. Just doing my part.”
Brett Favre didn’t have much to say in defeat:
“I’ve felt better. It was a physical game. A lot of hits. You win that and you sure feel a lot better.” Mississippi native Favre did throw his support behind the Saints:
“I would have loved to represent the NFC. But, as I told Sean throughout the year when we talked, if it’s not us, I hope it’s you guys.”
The Vikings gave up a total of five turnovers including three fumbles. That, said running back Adrian Peterson, was the game:
“We really gave those guys the game. Too many turnovers. It’s eating me up inside.

Pirate Film Downloading Is Not Worth It
Posted by Lorena Boyer | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
It may seem like getting a movie free illegally is a lot cheaper that paying and watching it, but the reality is that you will end up paying a lot more for the movie if you get caught stealing it. Legally downloading movies are the best way to go since it is the cheapest way to watch a movie legally rather than buying a DVD or renting out movies at a store.
Moreover, although you will incur costs for legal movie downloads, they are minimal as compared to the price you’ll pay for DVD’s or store rentals at your local Blockbuster store. Not only that, but the fact is that if you use file sharing sites to download your illegal movies, you infringe on the copyright laws of the owners of the productions.
Don’t download them illegally because you might be robbing away someone’s hard earned money. Besides, the risk of downloading a movie illegally is not worth it, consider the number of scrupulous elements out there releasing viruses and what not. Even if the file is clean, you could still end up coughing out a lot of money because of the fines and other court charges that you might have to fill.

Can I Download Internet Movies?
Posted by Barbara Kaufman | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
If you want to download internet movies you probably can figure out how. The problem with downloading movies is that many places you will find that offer this service will be providing movies illegally. Not every site online is distributing movies without following proper copy write procedure, but some are.
Maybe you are not that used to using the internet, so you think that the technical aspects of downloading are going to be difficult. Most places are fairly easy to use, though. They want you to be able to get to the downloads easily so that you will want to continue using their sites. Not everyone is an expert on the computer, and these sites know this.
The most common way of downloading will be through a peer to peer network. These are also known as P2P networks. P2P means that you will connect to another users computer and get the file directly from them. This allows your computer to act as a server for other people who are downloading as well, as you can upload the videos while simultaneously downloading them.
The way that most sites work these days are to provide what are called “torrents.” Torrents are small files that you can download very quickly from an internet site. You then open the torrent in a torrent reading program. The torrent will tell the program where to go to connect to the media that you want to download. The program will connect to that media and begin the upload/download process.
The digitalization of video is probably the next generation of media. Many people are trying to find a way to make this a profitable business venture. The problem that they face is that once media goes online, it is far too easy distribute to other people, thus making it hard to maintain the integrity of the copy write because it spreads to far too fast.
Selling them online is probably going to be necessary as anyone with a computer with a DVD ripper can get it onto their computer. Once the movie is on the computer, it is very easy to get it online to start sharing it with others. People will offer these movies for free to try to get traffic to their websites in order to sell more advertising space and make money that way.
Due to the large spread use of these sites of pirated media, there is a push by government and para-government agencies to attempt to get internet service providers to stem their customers ability to download movies. They can’t actually prevent a person from downloading, but they can shut off your internet if they detect you’ve been to certain sites. They may not report a person to an agency if they find out they’ve been doing something online they probably shouldn’t have, but they do pay attention.
Anyone who wants to download internet movies can do so. You probably won’t get into any trouble if you do so, but it is still best to check the credentials of any site that you do want to use if you are concerned about getting bootlegged media.
You’ve got choices and the movie companies know this. Movie Downloads Zune Think of it this way it will help your kids read better too. Unfortunately, you don’t always know what sources are reliable.

Downloadable Movies Of The Eighties: The Last Dragon
Posted by Terra Barrera | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
The Last Dragon was actually a film produced by Motown Records back in the eighties. It seems that one of the primary concerns of the film might actually have been to promote new talent, particularly that one song, “Oh Sheila”, you know, “Let me love you til the morning comes”. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s really a fun, exciting Kung Fu movie, and one of the must download movies of the eighties.
The film follows Bruce Leroy, or so is his nickname. He’s a young martial artist from Harlem who works for his father’s pizza parlor while teaching Kung Fu to the local neighborhood kids. Throughout his adventures, he also has to keep his cool and composure while dealing with his rival, Sho’Nuff, who’s always trying to get a rise out of him. Sho’Nuff, you see, is the Shogun of Harlem… Yep, the Shogun of Harlem. That’s what he likes to call himself.
Sho’Nuff is really one of the all time great screen villains. Everything about him is just… Wild, ridiculous and hilarious. He walks around with a crew of lackeys, and wherever he enters the scene, he’s preceded by a little call-and-response speech between himself and his crew, as if they were the mirror on the wall, he asks them if he is the prettiest, the meanest and the baddest, and Sho Nuff, he is. He wears shoulder pads, visor sunglasses and hakama, those baggy pants worn by samurai. For style and attitude, he’s really one of the funniest heavies of all time.
There’s a subplot that you probably… Won’t take too much interest in. See, Leroy is after the heart of this girl who produces a local music show, and there’s this sleazy promoter who’s trying to get his girlfriend’s new single played on her show. When you see the video, you’ll grimace and shudder in embarrassment just for watching it, so… It’s funny, but you find yourself wishing they’d just get back to the kung fu already!
But don’t worry, it gets back to that soon enough when the promoter hires the meanest hombres in town to take Leroy down, culminating in a massive brawl with Leroy and his students on one side, and a gang of colorful thugs on the other, including a great big fat white guy with a gray Mr. T mohawk and a gold colored jumpsuit… Strange characters, indeed.
There are also some really fun, corny moments along the way. At one point, Leroy tries to seek wisdom from the guy who writes the fortune cookies at the local Chinese restaurant, only to find that they’re written by a computer. Therein he finds that zen wisdom of emptiness and being.
Could the movie have been a bit better without the subplot about the record promoter and his girlfriend? Sure, but there’s always something about every movie where it “could have been better”. Regardless, what’s there is a fun, funny, corny, exciting little gem of a film. Half kung fu, half spoof of kung fu, and all eighties.
It’s exciting, funny, colorful and kind of corny, and a lot of fun. Get a few beers and some buddies and give it a download. You’ll definitely enjoy the show if nothing else.
However, be warned that these movies come with quite a string of disastrous consequences. Download Movies On Line Another option when it comes to Movie Downloads, is divx downloads. This is a great way to get all of your entertainment needs met.

Must Download Internet Movies: Takeshi Kitano’s Kikujiro
Posted by Edgar Conrad | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Takeshi Kitano is one of the most fascinating characters on the modern cinematic landscape. He has always been creating interesting movies, but at the beginning of his career, he was in danger of being stuck in a rut of only creating violent crime films. This is perhaps due to the fact that his debut directorial effort was really… Well, a violent crime film, Violent Cop. He sort of stumbled onto that job, taking over the reins as director when the initial director dropped out. Next time you want to download internet movies, give it a viewing.
Kikujiro marks a completely different direction for Takeshi Kitano. Where his earlier films were typically violent gangster flicks, this one is sweet, sentimental, and focused on the concepts of belonging, family, and acceptance. It’s very touching, very upbeat and positive, and will certainly leave you with a smile on your face, if not a tear in your eye.
Kitano’s career has had a lot of twists and turns. He began as an emcee of a nightclub. When the comedian there got sick, he took over as comic for the night, and he was a huge star on the comedy scene for a number of years.
He would eventually become a popular TV show host, and even get a job designing his own video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, called Takeshi’s Challenge. The game followed a salaryman who gambles, drinks and fights the yakuza. It featured bizarre challenges such as holding a button for an hour straight and a last boss who takes well over one hundred thousand individual strikes to kill. It wasn’t so much a game as it was a torture device, starting with a warning reading “This game was made by a man who hates video games!”
Kitano’s odd sense of humor comes through very well in this movie. Kitano plays Kikujiro, an old man who fits the lovable loser archetype. He escorts a young boy across Japan to meet his estranged mother. He winds up blowing all their money at the tracks, thinking the kid is some kind of psychic after predicting three race winners in a row.
So Kitano is then forced to beg for food, scoring two sandwiches, and eating his own out of the boy’s sight so he can pretend that he’s doing without for the child’s sake. This is a very sweet moment, with Kikujiro showing that he’s not above lying to try and earn the boy’s respect and affection.
The movie really is sweet and touching, particularly a dream sequence later on where the boy reflects upon games he has played with Kikujiro and their friends. The two create their own family with the two of them and the goofy characters they meet on their travels.
It is, certainly, one of Kitano’s best. Sonatine is the film he’s really known for in the US, but Kikujiro is one of his many crowning achievements.
So, if you did not know this already, now you know that you no longer have to leave home in order to rent or buy a movie. Project Tv Watch Movies Make sure you’ve got something to occupy your time on board. Try to find an online movie download site that gives you lots of variety so you can choose whatever mood suits you.

Must Download Movies: He Got Game
Posted by Christa Frye | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Back in the nineties, Spike Lee really began evolving as a storyteller, exploring well beyond his era of being known as “the black Woody Allen”. He created something all his own in the 1990’s, and carved out a fascinating little niche for himself in the cinematic landscape. He Got Game is sort of his answer to Martin Scorsese’s gritty urban films. It comes down to a story of family, and is one of Lee’s all time must download movies.
The story follows a young man named Jesus, yes, Jesus, not Hey-Zeus, but Jesus, as in Jesus Christ. As his father explains “What’s wrong with Jesus? It’s a Biblical name.” “Yeah no &*$# dad!” Jesus is a basketball prodigy being pursued by, well, pretty much everyone. Every college wants him, and they stop at nothing to try and lure him to their respective schools.
Jesus’ father, played by Denzel Washington, has been in prison for years, ever since he was convicted of involuntary slaughter after the accidental death of the mother during an altercation that turned physical, only for a second, but a second was all it took to destroy their family life together. Jesus has never forgiven his father for the mother’s death, and a primary focus of the film is… Whether or not he ever will.
This really kicks off when the warden offers him a deal: Get Jesus to join up with the warden’s alma mater, and they’ll see about the possibility of reducing the sentence or parole.
So the father is put out on the streets for a little while to try and convince his son. For the father, it’s not simply an assignment that will help him get a reduced sentence, rather, it’s a chance at redemption, a chance at forgiveness. It’s not really about the reduced sentence, it’s about finding his son’s love again. Not that his son sees it that way.
The father also falls in love with a prostitute and tries to spend as much time as he can with her while they’re letting him walk the streets free. The son must maintain his righteousness, choosing a school for the right reasons no matter what sort of bribes and incentives they dangle in front of him like carrots on sticks. Money, sex, drugs, or his father’s love, are the prizes at stake. It’s a story of forgiveness and temptation for both of the leads.
The movie ends in a way that, while it doesn’t wrap everything up neatly in a little bow, it does deliver on an emotional level, and that’s where it really counts in the end.
The film is frightening and shocking at times, it’s moving, and it boasts a lot of emotional depth and truth. The film also carries some great music by Public Enemy, notably the title track, He Got Game. Since then, Spike Lee has reinvented himself again, creating more marketable, polished films. His newer movies are every bit as worthwhile as his previous work, but there’s a rawness, a realness to the era between Do the Right Thing and He Got Game that set him apart from all other filmmakers of his generation.
Some of them make a lot of money, but many of them don’t. Online Movie Rental Using movie download software helps to make the whole process of downloading movies a whole lot easier. Of course, again, you’ll never have to purchase the latest video machine in order to watch the newest releases.
