BEST LEBRON JAMES SNEAKER YET???

Ever since the unveiling of the new Nike air Max Lebron VII online, there has been a lot of buzz round the sneaker. From the design to the technology used, many say that this is probably the best Lebron signature sneaker to release. The use of the Air Max is for the first time on a Lebron sneaker is probably what stands out the most from the sneaker, but the use of the new Flywire technology on it as well, is relevant. Designers of the sneaker say it delivers maximum comfort and stability, which is key with any sneaker. Theis colorway is expected to release sometime in October. What do you think? Is this the best Lebron sneaker or do you have another favorite?

BRAD LIDGE BLOWS ANOTHER GAME

I cannot explain what is going on with Brad Lidge, mentally or physically this season, but he seems like another closer than how he performed last year. This time last year, Brad Lidge was recording save after save for the Philadelphia Phillies as he went 48 for 48 in save opportunities, leading to a World Series title. This year it seems like he is just going through rough times as going into last night’s game he had already blew 10 save opportunities. Lidge entered the ninth inning with a 6-5 lead versus the Florida Marlins. He gave up a double and walked a batter, which led to the game-tying and game-winning runs. Lidge has 11 blown saves this season and is not looking good for the most important time of the season……playoffs. Hopefully he can get his swagger back in time for the post-season or the Phiilies will be in a little trouble if they are planning to repeat.

U.S. STIMULUS FUNDS HELPING PHILADELPHIA

The economic stimulus plans looks like it is helping citizens of Pennsylvania since the beginning of summer according to an article written online for the Philadelphia Inquirer. John Barrett (49), Michael Volpe (61), and Randy Myers (32) were all unemployed before the package and are now all back to work. Even though some jobs are being created from the package, a lot of people still have questions on if the money is reaching those in need. Seeing the creation of jobs lets others know that the money has reached the street level, but is it enough? Philadelphia is set to receive $90.6 million from the stimulus package and even though many may feel like it has not reached “street” level, it has, it is just needs to be spent wisely so it is not being seen as fast as many would like it to. What are your thought? Has the stimulus package affected you or your family? Let us know.
