Felicia Young said in Wednesday editions of The Tennessean that her son is tired of all of the negativity he's faced after being booed during a 17-10 win Sunday over Jacksonville.

Another QB has alos bitten the dust..I tell ya I have never seen so many QB's get injured or bee just slightly off in one season. Anyways, 49er's high-price QB is done for the season and could possibly never play another game again due to another shoulder injury. Read the Full Story.

Sports..Goodie Bag

I had to get you started for this exciting weekend..so I hitting ya with one more sports goodie bag..

First..Here's some funny video from Team USA, shot the day before they left for China, this must-see video from Chris Bosh is a quick, candid and entertaining look at what it's like to sit down for some Wendy's with Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and LeBron James. Honestly, when was the last time you rolled into a San Francisco gas station and stumbled upon five of the best hoopsters on the planet? Such scenarios just do not happen all that often. My other question was have they not ever been to a Travel gas station?

LeBron James: "Man, you get a burger, get you some gas, and get you some coffee then stay on the road for another five hours in this joint.

"Chris Paul: "... and some Slim Jims ...

"Deron Williams: "I'm from Dallas ... I eat Rudy's ..." (Rudy's is a famous fried chicken place in Dallas)

I mean if I hung out with some b-ball players, these guys would be the ones. It's crazy cause even though it 40 seconds of video, they had me rollin' .

So in case you didn't know Serena beat Venus Wednesday in two tie-breaking matches, 7-6,7-6. She plays Dinara Safina today.

The excuse "us" quote comes from Serena when she was doing an interview after the match..

Q. There's the No. 1 position at stake for at least three girls in the tournament now. Is that an extra motivation?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah. Honestly, I really would just like to win the tournament with or without the ranking. Believe me, I'm going to be No. 1 sooner or later.

Well, okay then, but Serena definitely got that spice, so anytime she comes to the mic she always says something you didn't expect her to say.

And in NFL news, the NY Giants beat the Washington Redskins 16-7, in the season opener Thursday.

Sports..Goodie Bag..Must See TV!

First off all, I just wanted to let ya'll know that I apologize for not updating you guys on the football this weekend. You know how it is when your my hosts the family for the holiday weekend..that means you have to do as much work as she does. It was definitely fun yet exhausting...

But anyways, I'm giving you the rundown of what's going on in sports, since there is soo much going on right now...You know how the goodie bag goes.

So the Williams sisters are playing each other for the 1oth time tonight @ 7pm in the quarterfinal for U.S. Tennis Open on USA.

(Singing Together now) Are you ready for some football!!!! Okay, enough of that, The NFL season officially kicks off tomorrow (Thursday) with the NY Giants and the Washington Redskins taking center stage..you best believe I'll be sitting in front of the tube for this one..

And I know you thought the NBA was long gone at least for about 6 months, but the season is truly only two months away.. ESPN did some early polling picks about the next MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Future worst player. The list is pretty interesting... take a look at it HERE.

LeBron James and Chris Paul take the spots for top MVP picks, Baron Davis and Jermaine O'Neal got the spots for worst newcomer this year. Also, Micheal Beasley grabbed the #1 spot for the Rookie of the year (Miami Heat)..along with hometown team homie, Russell Westbrook repping the new Oklahoma City team.

I think the voters did a pretty good job on this list, what do you think? Hit me up and let me know. Oh, if there there is something that you want this knowledgeable lady sports fan to be talking about or something I should know, hit me me as well.

Also a very insightfull story from one of my favorite ESPN Sports writers, Jemele Hill, on football players playing through the pain.. "Any Given Sunday" is truly a real-life story complete with consequences.. Read it HERE. My question to all, is how much would you be willing to sacrifice for your career. I try to keep these things in prospective, if I had my dream job, would I scarifice my health for it? I don't know, but if you play pro sports the smartest thing you can do is create another avenue for yourself so that your health will never be a bargaining tool to put on the table. What do you think..Is Shawne Merriman doing a little too much gambling with his health and career? See Shawne in play on Sunday, in San Deigo.

I thinks that's about it for now..I will be at the O-State vs Houston game this weekend, but I will be putting you for all the games and scores so no worries.

Sports.. Olympics Recap

Alright guys, I'm back with the Sports Goodie Bag, and this one will detail what's going on in the Olympics Day 5/Recap.

Last night Phelps won one more Gold medal; this one for the 200m medley. I think I can officially say that any race that Micheal is in, he'll win the Gold medal.

The U.S Women's gymnastics team who I told needs to get they minds right..fell apart during the last two rotations of the final. They had the opportunity to capitalize on China's mistakes on the High Beam but they as well made mistakes plus some they could not afford on the Floor rotation. So they ended up with a Silver medal, which is good, but you just should have seen the way they fell apart. My heart goes out to them for a loss like that.

Today you can look forward to more Micheal Phelps winning Gold medals. Also, the Individual Gymnastics finals start today, which could be really interesting. I'm sure China will be all in the mix seeing that they took both Team All-Around gold medal for gymnastics.

For those boxing fans you can also look forward to quite a few match-ups tonight. I will be watching most of it but tonight is definitely not one of those "action days". But, I'll keep you updated.

NOTE: Post Update to Aaron Rodgers Pre-Season Debut

Like I had predicted Aaron Rodgers didn't have his A game face on, it was more like his B- game face. Final score Bengals 20, Packers 17. I have to admit he did a lot better than I thought he would do. We will see if he can take the real heat when the season starts.
