The 2009 Dakar Rally
The Dakar Rally was traditionally an off-road multi-stage race from Paris to Dakar, Senegal. However, due to fears of terrorist attacks, the Rally was cancelled last year – and this year moved to an entirely different continent, South America. 540 teams started the 2009 Dakar Rally in Buenos Aires, Argentina on January 3rd, and, after 9,578 kilometres (5,951 mi) in 14 stages, will return to Buenos Aires on January 17th.
NFL Black Monday
29 December 2008 … it’s NFL‘s black Monday, it’s not even 9:30 a.m. and already three NFL coaches have lost their gigs.
The Detroit Lions have fired coach Rod Marinelli, in New York the Jets have terminated Eric Mangini and in Cleveland, the Romeo Crennel.
This is very weird to understand that coaches missing a season are fired this simple and America’s biggest corporate CEOs messed up with millions and billions of dollars and American consumers lost around 3 Trillions, and still they are enjoying their big desks and offices and some of them still looking to have their 2008 bonuses.
By the way, I am a New England Patriots fan !!!
