Chicago Bears Don't Quit.

I have to say that I am heartily disappointed to see all the garbage that the players are saying about fellow pro, Jay Cutler.  I have come to expect fans to use social media to further their inexperienced, uneducated, and grammatically disastrous thoughts to an uncaring audience, but other players?


Most of you may know that I am not a professional football player, that being said, even I know that the medical staff has the final word whether or not a player can get in the game.  Is this fact lost of other professional football players?  Long gone are the days when injured players receive a shot of morphine and a pat on the back and I am disgusted to see other players attempt to bolster their own twitter numbers by bashing one of their own.

If I could personally respond to them I would merely tell them this . . . It is very easy to criticize someone behind the perceived anonymity of the internet.  Most certainly, considering that you yourself are sitting at home, nowhere near a divisional playoff game, only a fool would heed your words. 


My personal gratitude for the multitude of fans who support Jay Cutler and dismiss the heckling and jibing.

More importantly, Chicago Bears teammates are supporting Jay, and at the end of the day, that's what matters most.  I am proud that Brian Urlacher and Olin Kreutz are vocal supporters of Jay, as well they should be.  My 30 years on this earth have taught me that the only reason why anyone will hate you, is because they want to be just like you.

Jay Cutler, you are one hell of a quarterback.  Chicago Bears, you have one HELL of a season.  I can't wait to get started all over again.  I am proud of you all.

Two Book Reviews, By Seneca Spencer.

Me at the Crete Library
Hi, I'm Seneca and I am going to review two books I just read for school (I <3 Home school).  I use <3s for my ratings, five is the highest possible score.

Let's start with The Scarlet Stockings Spy written by Trinka Hakes Noble and illustrated by Robert Papp.  It is a part of the Tales of Young Americans series.  The book was very interesting and very sad, but it was more interesting than sad.  The artwork was very beautiful, my favorite picture was of Maddy Rose (the main character) and her mother, they both looked very happy in their little cottage house.

Maddy Rose was a spy (kind of) during the American Revolution.  She had a code to let her brother, who was in the army, know what the British were doing.  Her brother died in the war, but another boy took over for getting the messages from Maddy.  One day, Maddy found out that her brother was dead, and she got her brother's coat, and used her stockings and her petticoat and sewed an American flag.

I would recommend this book for someone who is interested in American history, kids my age (9) to 15 or 16, and even some adults!

This book gets <3 <3 <3 <3 <


The second book I am going to review today is titled Fun With Roman Numerals by David A. Adler, and illustrated by Edward Miller III (that's 3 in Roman Numerals, lol).  This book is helpful, educational, and fun.  The artwork is really cool!  There are really great pictures of every day things that use Roman Numerals.  My favorite page is the Roman men playing in the Superbowl and they have Roman Numerals on their jerseys.  It's very cool.  The back cover even has a chart with Roman Numerals all the way up to 1,000!  I'm going to copy it into my math notebook, so I will always have it, it is very helpful.  I want to learn to play with them with every day math problems, and start using them.

I recommend this book because it's educational and stuff.  It's also very fun, so really I would recommend it for people that want to learn about Roman Numerals and I can't even put an age group on this because anyone who has a good sense of humor would like this book and could learn from it. 

This book gets <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I hope that you enjoyed my reviews and I hope you find these books in your local library system!  Next time I will review Megamind!
