Once again a natural disaster is a reminder that life is fragile. No matter where disaster strikes, it affects us all.
Even though the Japan earthquake occurred days ago, help is still needed. On the side of this site under Pay It Forward To Teammates In Life are links to some organization that are involved in the Japanese relief effort. By getting involved, you can have an impact on someones' life.
Thank you for making a difference.

Prayers For The Loved Ones Of Wes Leonard
Prayers go out to the loved ones and classmates of Wes Leonard.
The Fennville High student passed away Thursday from an apparent enlarged heart. Leonard collapsed after making the winning basket to give his team a 57-55 victory over Bridgman High. What should have been a joyous victory to cement a perfect season for the Black hawks turned into a tragedy that many will never forget.
Wes Leonard will be dearly missed.

Did Lance Armstrong Cheat?
Once again another athlete is accused of using steroids.
This time Lance Armstrong, the Tour De France winner is accused of using a performance enhancing steroid called HemAssist. The allegations centered around a Sports Illustrated report that Armstrong took steroids while competing in the Tour De France. He won the Tour De France from 1999-2005.
Regardless whether these accusation are true, why was doping even allowed to begin with? Will this tarnish Lance Armstrong's reputation as a role model? If he's found guilty, should his victories be erased?
What does this say about sports, that winning is more important than integrity? Will any sport ever be considered clean? Is he innocent as he proclaims?
Only time will tell if Lance Armstrong is vindicated. Even if he is cleared of these charges, there will always be a question of doubt. Only Lance knows what really happened. Let's hope he tells the truth.

Detroit Will Miss You, Sparky.
A true gentleman of baseball has left us.
The beloved former Tigers and Reds manager Sparky Anderson passed away Thursday from complications of dementia. Sparky was 76.
Sparky who, considered by many to be one of the best managers in the MLB., was the only manager to lead both A.L. and N. L. to a World Series Championship. He led the Reds to a championship in 1975 and the Tigers in 1984.
Thank you Sparky for being a class act. You will be missed.

Rogers Clemens Gets Indited. What A Tangled Web He Wove.
No matter what happens this time Roger (the Rocket) Clemens will be not be able to pitch his way out of this one.
The World Series and Cy Young Award winning pitcher was indited last week for alleged perjury during his testimony in 2008 to Congress regarding his use of steroids. According to Clemens, he swore under oath he never has taken HGH (human growth hormones) or anabolic steroids.
However there are reports that claim Clemens did take steroids.
Ok, who's really telling the truth? If the allegations are true, what does that say about ethics? What does it say to all the athletes who are clean and excel through hard work?
Is winning at all costs worth the risk of being caught? Is the league doing enough to clean up their sport? Even if he is found innocent, will his reputation ever recover? Can he ever be trusted again? Why was steroid use allowed in the first place?
Under the law, you're considered innocent until proven guilty. Even if Clemens is cleared of charges, many will question his character in the court of public opinion. Once there is doubt, it's almost impossible to regain the publics' trust. Once trust is broken, it will take a long time to be forgiven.
If Roger Clemens wants to come out of this intact, he must tell the absolute truth. By telling the truth, maybe sports can finally be clean.
Please Roger, tell the TRUTH!
