Benny’s Sports My Way: Here Comes The 2010 Super Bowl!!!!
It’s raining in South Florida!! Hello Benny fans-this is yours truly writing to you from rainy South Florida-the site of the 2010 NFL Super Bowl! That’s right; I am here ready to report about the latest in sports. Last night, at Sun Life Stadium, the site of next Sunday’s Super Bowl also, the 2010 Pro Bowl took place. Yep-usually it’s the week after the Super Bowl and in Hawaii. The top NFC players battled the top AFC players for four quarters in a high scoring game. At the end, it was the dominating AFC beating the NFC 41-34. Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning and New Orleans Saints helmsman Drew Brees also made an appearance but did not play. It seemed that even though this game was supposed to draw lots of eager football fans, it may not have been the draw it was intended to. Anyway, it was a great game and was great to see all of the stars like Ravens Ray Lewis, Bengals Ocho Cinco and Eagles Donovan McNab. According to NFL sources, the 2011 and 2012 Pro Bowl games will be back in Honolulu.
2010 Super Bowl- Both Indianapolis and New Orleans will be practicing this week for their meeting on Sunday. It will be a wet practice week for both. We are all looking forward to a fantastic passing game from both Manning and Brees. And some running too!!

Tennis-Serena Williams won the women’s title at the 2010 Australian Open defeating Belgium’s Justine Henin in a three setter. Henin was in the finals in the second tournament back from a one year retirement. This was the fifth Australian Cup win for Williams. On the men’s side, Roger Federer won the title defeating UK’s rising star Andy Murray in a three setter. Last year, Federer lost in the finals to Nadal in five sets. Way to go Serena and Roger-onward to Roland Garros!!
NBA-Washington Wizards star player Gilbert Arenas was suspended by NBA Commissioner David Stern for bringing and pulling out a fully loaded gun in the Wizard’s locker room and pointing it at a teammate. Arenas team-mate Javaris Crittenton, who also pulled out a loaded gun, was also suspended by Stern. What were you guys thinking?
