Monster Jam, the live motor sport even has been around for more years than I can count and is still growing in popularity.

Operating through the United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) most of the shows take place in the United States, however the trucks and drivers do entertain audiences the world over.

Every event has its own schedule, but the main attraction at Monster Jam, is, as always, the incredible Monster trucks, which race, jump, hurdle and perform various seemingly impossible feats to the delight and amazement of the crowds.

Monster Jam events usually run the entire year around, but one season, which runs from January for about three months, well into March, is whats known as the competitive season and its at this time when your Monster truck attendance is going to be the most spectacular and thrilling.

During the January to March season its not at all uncommon for ten different events to be running in different places on the same weekend.

The whole thing ends up in the grand finale with a Monster Jam World Finals that are held in Las Vegas in the latter part of March.

The motors rev, your heart starts beating a little faster and trucks with names like McGruff the Crime Dog, Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction begin to run through their paces, thrilling the crowds everywhere they appear.

The trucks are state of the art and are wildly popular. More people will attend Monster Jam during the January to March run than will attend any given concert in the same time span, with more than 2.5 million people viewing the Monster Trucks.

Is this a game you want to miss if you can possibly make it there?

Double treat on January 18th in point of fact, with not just the Cardinals and Eagles squaring off, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens going head to head in Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Whether you’re east or west United States, you’ve got something to do and somewhere to be on the 18th of January.

Post season football this year promises to be as exciting as its ever been, and although you can of course see the televised event, there’s just no real comparison to being there, to hearing the crowds roaring around you and the teams battling it out til the final second ticks down.

Go get your Playoff tickets and cheer your choice on to victory. Its counting down to Super Bowl now and every fan, every voice is going to count.

The NFL says that from 50,000 to nearly 90,000 people buy tickets for each game… Thats going up for the playoffs as we all know. Don’t wait til the last minute to get your tickets.

Baseball may be our national past time, but this time of year it doesn’t generally get a passing thought. This time of year is reserved for the most watched sport in the United States–football. This years football has been more than just exciting, with upsets and wins by teams we never really expected to do as well as they have.

Now of course, when it comes to good football, it doesn’t get much more exciting than the Steelers.
Now this comes, mind you from a dyed in the wool Pennsylvanian Steeler fan, but let’s face it, whats not to love about the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1974 to 1979 saw the franchise becoming the first NFL franchise to win four Super Bowl titles in six seasons, which is in fact a feat that still remains unmatched by any other team, a feat which is yet to be matched. They are still the team which was the only sixth-seeded team in NFL history to advance to a championship game; and win it, to take the Super Bowl win in 2006.

While the Cowboys are one of the most beloved teams playing, Pittsburgh too is ranked among the most popular of the teams taking the field, and this year, not without reason.

“In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked Steelers’ fans as the best in the NFL, citing their “unbelievable” sellout streak of 299 consecutive games”

This weekend will see them at their best, when they take the field against the Chargers at Heinz Field.
Do you plan to be there? There are still tickets available, but how long are they going to last?

Kickoff is 4:45 P.M.

If you’re a fan of the fights, then these are the fights for you and Las Vegas is the place to be in mid January.

Top contenders are vying for bragging rights and a whole lot more as they rock the arena in the city that never sleeps.

MGM Grand Garden Arena, Nevada will be the scene of a rematch the likes of which the fight fans have waited a long time to see. Three years to be precise, since the last bout, when in March of 2006, the top welterweights around fought each other for the number one position.

Georges St-Pierre and BJ Penn dueled and St-Pierre earned what was called a razors edge split decision, then going on to win the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title. Penn, who dropped to the lightweight division of the competition, went on to win the 155-pound title.

Well they are at it again and this time, there’s a lot more at stake than just the bragging rights.

From the looks of things, BJ Penn will become the first fighter in history to have two UFC championships at the same time, but you know, looks can be deceiving.

Be there when BJ Penn faces down Georges St-Pierre for the UFC® welterweight championship in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, ST-PIERRE VS. PENN 2, live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 31, 2009.

You don’t want to miss this one…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the oldest football teams in the AFC, having been established in 1933. Their beginnings were, shall we say, somewhat less than glorious, with their first game lost to the Giants with a score of 23 to just 2 points.

They never made it to the playoffs until fifteen years later in 1947, and then didn’t win.
In the mid sixties Pittsburgh was, in reality, something of an embarrassment to Pennsylvania, even having a record horrible year in there, with a 2 and 12 year. Thankfully television wasn’t yet a household item, so we didn’t have to watch their ignominious defeats.

In all honesty, it wasn’t until the seventies when the Steelers became a household word, and one of the most loved teams of all time and a lot of that, the team owes to a man who wasn’t even a Pennsylvania native.

Terry Bradshaw, a Louisiana boy got drafted when Pa won a coin toss. Bradshaw turned the Steelers into something the state,(as a Pennsylvania native I can attest to that) and in fact the country was excited about, and they, along with Chuck Noll, set about earning themselves the “Steel Curtain” commentary that was now being applied to them.

Noll latched on to some of the best and brightest, including Mean Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, and a few other names you’d all recognize for the Steelers.

The Steelers decade was definitely the seventies, with four Super Bowls belonging to them in that time span. 1974 and 1975, 1978 and 1979 were all Super Bowl wins for the Steelers.
Another followed about twenty years later in 2005, and Pittsburgh had arrived.

The Steelers of 2008, with a striking record and having won four of their last five games, look to be what the old Steel Curtain Steelers used to be.

Get your Steeler fix with tickets to watch them play against the Browns Sunday December 28 2008.
