NFL SACK LEADER

After reading a few articles about our friend joey porter i decided to pay him alittle tribute. Joey is having his best year as a professional football player. Through just 7 games he has 10.5 sacks which ties his career high for an entire season and he isnt even halfway through this season. They say he is on track to challenge michael strahans record of 22.5 sacks in 2001. Looks like we are hawaii bound for joeys fourth pro bowl, and just maybe a defensive player of the year award. Today against buffalo joey had 2 sacks a forced fumble that lead to a safety and a fumble recovery, leading his team to a victory. the dolphins head coach came to joey right after halftime and said joey we need the ball back go get it and joey answered the call haha. They say he is having his way with everyone he is up against. Get your flipflops out and boardshorts on cause we are headed to the pro bowl fellas. GO FINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idaho deer hunt

My cousin ben and I went up to southern idaho just outside of malad for the deer hunt. I flew to salt lake on monday and since it was going to be cold up on the mountain we decided to stay the night in salt lake at his place and get up early for the drive. we got up at 3:30 am drove alittle over two hours to our spot and there was about 10 inches of snow on the ground when we arrived so we were happy we stayed in salt lake and not in a tent haha. we hiked in about 4 miles saw about 25 doe no bucks, had lunch and headed 4 miles back to the pickup. we then set up camp and headed of again. we again saw about 12 doe, although right before dark we saw two bucks. one little two point and another 2 or 3 point that was alittle bigger. i was trying to decide wether to shoot or not and both ben and i were freezing and shaking so bad i didnt think i would be able to hit it plus it was alittle small to shoot on opening day so i passed and we headed back to camp. weds morning we headed back up to the spot we saw the two bucks and ben spotted a buck over 1000 yards away. we werent sure how big he was being so far away so we decided to sneak on him. 30 minutes later we got to were it was at and at this point i was going to shoot regardless after we hiked so far haha. we saw nothing and kept walking when all the sudden we jumped some deer 4 doe and two bucks. i quickly pulled my rifle up to shooting position saw that the front buck was bigger so as they ran down the hill just before moving behind some trees i put the cross hairs right on him and shot. I thought i saw him drop but wasnt sure with the trees in the way so ben walked off to the side to watch the smaller buck run off just in case the other was not hit. I hiked down to the trees about 100 yds away and sure enough there he was laying up against a tree. WHAT A SHOT!! Ben cut all the meat off of him and the horns and then we hiked out alittle slower with all the weight in our packs haha. Big ben was quite the guide. thanks cuz we did it again. here are a few pics of my deer.








if you look at the ledges way up on the mountain, that is where we were at when ben spotted the buck. old eagle eye haha

miami trip

miami was a blast. I landed in miami at 5:30 pm friday spencer wasnt going to land until 9.so i drove to joey porters house where i just hungout playing madden 09 with joey and some other friends. finally spencer landed so i went and picked him up, went back to joeys for more video games an relaxation haha. Saturday morning joey had practice so spencer and i and some others went to joeys sons football game to cheer him on. it was alot of fun to watch the little guys play. they are the 90 lbs division haha. joeys son plays on the same team as the dolphins corner back will allen and both sons are named after there dads so it was funny to hear the announcer say there names after every play they were involved in haha. After the game we went back to the hotel waited for joey to finish practice then just hungout the rest of the night at his house again. Sunday morning was the game and joey gave us really good seats 16 rows up in the endzone. we went early to watch joey talk trash and warm up haha. they introduced the defensive starters and of course joey was the last one announced coming out of the big dolphins helmet yelling and dancing he way through the cheerleaders and players as the crowd went nuts, it was pretty awesome. It rained pretty good off and on through the game so spencer and i bought some ponchos to stay dry haha. joey gave us players lounge passes so after the game we went down to meet players and see the families etc. since they won it was really cool because they were in good moods haha, so we watched them sign autographs etc. spencer and i took pics with joey and starting middle linebacker channing crowder. it was fun to watch the fans that were outside the gates go crazy when they saw joey yelling his name, taking pictures, wanting autographs etc. i felt pretty cool i have to admit haha. joey then took everyone to dinner at a really nice steakhouse where we chowed down and visited, again it was fun to see peoples faces watch joey eatpeople would come take pics with him or ask for autographs and he was really good about it. spencer and i then drove joey back to his house to get jerseys and have him sign them and then joey was hosting a party at a club in south beach so we took a limo with him and ted ginn jr the dolphins reciever to the club where we had vip treatment haha. we had a blast there before getting home really tired in the early morning. joey flew in lebron james tatoo artist to give tats so monday morning we watched him give some tatoos and hungout with jason ferguson the starting nose tackle and ted ginn jr at the hotel. we then had to head to the airport so we said our goodbyes and that was that haha. It was another stellar trip to miami. go fins hahaha
