Superbowl or Stupid bowl

The best part of the Superbowl was being with all my family and having a party. I didnt really care to watch the game, i get bored watching the same teams play in the Superbowl..

My Stock.

I chose the "McDonalds Corporation". The ticker is MCD. I chose this stock because i like to eat there and they make alot of money. The money is increasing at the moment as well. My hunger is what attracted me to them and they are a worldwide company.

Michael Vick

I was really surprised with michael vick's story. I never seen how much his crime affected his family and so much else. It was a lot different for him since he had all the fame and money but that really hurt his family when it came to paying bills since he lost is endorsements His punishment seemed fair though, he did deserve jail time for dogfighting.
