[Sportsandrec] Hi!

Wed Feb 6 06:02:29 UTC 2013

Go away Sharks! I'm a Red Wings and Penguins fan, not a Sharks fan. Do we 
have more hockey fans on this list? I think that it would be awesome if we 
did! I also know what goalball is. It's also a very cool sport. I played it 
for a short time at the Oregon School for the Blind and later became the 
maniger of the Oregon School for the Blind Grizzlies. I can't count how many 
goalballs that I have chased down as the maniger. Goalball is like hockey 
but everyone plays goal tender as well as the deffence men, the center, the 
left and right wing forwards. The rules are also a bit different than 
hockey. For one thing, you don't get thrown into the penelty box for two 
minutes for hooking. You get to play the goal tender as the other team gets 
a penelty shot. Both sports are not for the faint at heart. By the way, the 
Red Wings lost today against the Flames. Come on Red Wings!!! My Penguins on 
the other hand won against the Islanders. Go Penguins!!!

>>>>> defferd it to the second half. The Ravens scored a touch down making

>>>>> The 49ers scored 17 unanswered points by scoring two touchdowns and a

>>>>> 31 to 19 in Baltimore's favor. Following this, the 49ers scored
>>>>> another touch down which made the score 31 to 26 in Baltimore's favor.
>>>>> The 49ers then scored a field goal which made the score
>>>>> 31 to 29 in Baltimore's favor. Next, the Ravens scored a field goal
>>>>> making the score 34 to 29 in Baltimore's favor. The Ravens almost

>>>>> who had the ball made an imcompleet pass at fourth down and the 49ers
>>>>> scored a safety which made the score 34 to 31 in Baltimore's favor.
>>>>> That was the most intense point of the whole entire game. The Ravens
>>>>> wound up eating the clock up which for my friends and I, was a good

>>>>> Bull. We all celebrated and watched the Ravens recieve the Lembardy
