Zimmerman not yet left alone

     A few days ago about 15 miles out of Orlando Florida, a 911 call was made by a woman who was going through problems with her boyfriend. This woman's boyfriend happened to be George Zimmerman, the volunteer neighborhood watch man that was involved in the Martin vs. Zimmerman murder case. Zimmerman was proven guilty after this case but his trouble with the police and others has yet to end. Before the police call by George's girlfriend, he was caught up in some bad situations before. A few days after his wife filed divorce papers, Zimmerman was involved in a domestic dispute which attracted the police. The police were not able to press any charges against Zimmerman because of lack of evidence. That was not all for Zimmerman, he was also pulled over by the police multiple times and was issued a warning the first time, followed by a $256.00 ticket. All the controversy led up to a two sided dispute between George Zimmerman and his girlfriend, Samantha Scheib. Ms. Scheib called authorities during the night and claimed that Zimmerman was waving a gun to her face, braking valuables and pushed her out of her own house. Samantha was very upset while talking to the police on the phone and continuously was yelling at Zimmerman for a number of different reasons. Police finally arrived to the seen and outside Samantha Scheib met with officers. Zimmerman waited inside but with the police outside, he made a unanimous phone call to the police stating "he wanted everyone to know the truth" and he wouldn't open the door for the officers because he "didn't have anything to say". Police finally entered the house and a whole different story was described to them from Zimmerman's point of view. He claimed that he was just packing his stuff and was trying to leave; he states that Samantha may have seen his gun going into the bag but he never waved it at her. Zimmerman also said that Samantha "was pregnant with their child". Police later sent Zimmerman to the Siminole County Correctional Facility and is currently charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor mischief. George Zimmerman is scheduled to stand before a judge today on November 19, 2013 to await his bond that he receives. After all this happening, does this change the opinions on the outlook of the Martin Vs. Zimmerman case???

2013 AL Championship game 2

                                                         Its Not Over Yet
    On a chilly October night, the Red Sox and Tigers battled against each other in game 2 of the AL championship. The Sox were coming off a tough loss against the Tigers the night before but that didnt stop them from putting up a relentless fight. On the mound, Max Scherzer got the start for the tigers while Clay Bucholz tried to get Boston there first win of the series. The Tigers got out to an early lead in the 2nd inning with a base hit by Tony Avilla. Besides the early run in the second inning, there wasnt much offense produced by either teams. Both pitchers had tramendous control and stamina thorughout the game. Max Scherzer especially, he was on his game and pitched 7 innings only allowing one run, two hits, and struck out 13 of the Boston Red Sox's batters. On the other hand Bucholz was quiet good through five inning only allowing one run, but in the sixth inning the tiger batters' got hot with a lead off homerun by batting champ Miguel Cabrera that lead to three more runs in the same inning. The Red Sox bullpen arose to take over for Clay in the sixth inning after four runs have already came across home plate. They did there job and shut down the Detroit Tigers for the rest of the game. It was not the same outcome for the Tigers bullpen late in the game. It all started in the eighth inning after Scherzer was pulled and it was left to the relivers of the tigers to finish the game. A few hits in the beginning of the eighth inning iniciated a rally by the Boston Red Sox. It was a 5-1 game and bases were loaded with David Ortiz up to bat. First pitch and the ball soared over the right cneter fence of Fenway Park. The game was tied and soon after in the bottom of the ninth inning the Red Sox won with a walk off hit to even up the series 1-1.

                                           Under Armour fights to prevent concussions
Under Armour started off as a t shirt appeal and took off into a multi- billion dollar company. Kevin Plank is the owner and founder of under Armour. He always grew up playing football and wanted to create a newer and more comfortable jersey for players to wear. Kevin Plank has taken his Under Armour Company to a whole new level by helping out the NFL by funding concussion programs. Plank has risen up to 10 million dollars in grants and awards. Also Under Armour has funded innovative approaches to help with prevent and to identify brain injuries. This challenge has helped to bring people back to look for new ways that can help players to be safer on the field, such as looking for new ways to improve helmets or protective equipment that will reduce the chance of concussion. Roger Goodell and Kevin Plank both believe that there will be safer helmets that can be created and used on the football field at all ages. Heads up football is also another thing that is being better funded so players are receiving the proper education and teaching they need to help prevent injuries so there playing the game the right way. Besides equipment upgrade and findings, rule changes in the NFL have helped to prevent the number of head injuries. Roger Goodell created a rule that if head to head contact was made there would be a penalty and also a player could be fined if the hit was serious enough.
