Showboating Leaves Lindsey Jacobellis's Boat Sunk


So Lindesy Jacobellis is in the perfect poition to win the gold medal in snowboard cross. You'd think that she would take in with open arms but since she is an American she decides that she wants to do a cool little grab, BUT SHE FALLS!!! This girl has to literally hop to the finish line and settle for second. But the wors part of it all is that in the interview she says, "I'd been having trouble with that jump all day; the wind was catching me weird, I tried to grab it to try to stabilize myself in the air and it didn't work." So after she fell she act like it was no big deal that she cost her country a gold medal! Well i hope that she has learned a HUGE lasson, don't count your chickens before thay hatch. AND NO MORE SHOWBOATING!!! You can read some more of her excuses at the Tennessean.

Annapolis





I went and saw Annapolis last weekend, and even though it didn't get the best reviews I still LOVED it. Now, maybe I'm a little biased because I want to go to the Academy, but no matter. Oh, and one more thing if the Navy ever needs more applicants start getting more women like Jordana Brewster in the Navy.

Jake Huard, a ship yard worker from across the river from the Academy gets an invite to come to the Navy from a commanding officer. Jake accepts but when he arrives at the Academy he is a bit overwhelmed. So just to make things a little more challenging a seinor, Lt. Cole, in his company decides to ride his butt 'till Jake quit or he graduated. Lucky for Jake Lt. Cole graduated, but not before he got to get in the ring with Jake at the biggest boxing tournament in the Navy, The Brigades. In the final round Jake starts to beat up on Lt. Cole and he almost knocked him out. In the end it came to a tie that the officers had to decide who won. Unfortunately Jake lost but at the end of the fight the Lieutenant knew that Jake should have won. By the way you might expect a sequal. :)
