In this her only game, basketball player diagnosed with brain tumor made her dream come true late in a game over the weekend:


Had to move the game up to fulfill her dreams in which she will probably never witness again as this is very life-threatening.

United States Midterm Elections 2014: Today is the Day


Every seat in the House, 33 of the 50 Senate seats, and 38 of 50 gubernatorial races are on the ballot nationwide. This includes local races as well.

Some interesting races to watch, including in the House District 2 serving the 'Research Triangle' area of North Carolina. Incumbent Renee Ellmers will run against--yes folks--Clay Aiken. That Clay Aiken. Will he lose yet again?

Also with Rick Perry's term ending, the next Texas Governor will be elected tonight. One of the candidates has been publicly known in the Texas legislature for her pro-choice stance regarding abortion (Wendy Davis); will Texans have the smarts to not vote for her?

So many races, and I'll be tweeting tonight. Follow me at @MorganShow1.

Nik Wallenda Survives Again! Ratings Down Compared to Grand Canyon Attempt

Remember, not everyone watches the NFL, Once Upon a Time or other things going up against this. I also didn't watch his attempt last summer, because I was watching the Whodunnit? series premiere.

Motorsport Day in Texas: A Mini-Rant.


I'm a big fan of Lewis Hamilton, and glad that he won his fifth consecutive race, and his second win in the United States Grand Prix since its return to the Circuit of the Americas in 2012. Even though some call it boring, I think it was a good race. Crowds packed to the brim at CotA, more than it was for the Cup race at TMS which took place around the same time, and ended with a pit road altercation between two champion drivers. I'm pretty sure the media gave more coverage to that pit road fight over the United States stop for Formula 1, which is sad.

Come on man, it's Formula 1. Their stop on our soil and yet, there's more coverage of the pit road fight. Yet, people still come out to COTA as it had a better crowd. They'll do this again next year, and to the motorsport media in general, more USGP coverage. My two cents. Oh, and Governor Perry (in his final term as governor) returned to present the winner's trophy to Hamilton. See guys, Gov. Perry knows!

The end.

76 Cup starts, primarily with the Mueller Brothers team (as shown here) in the 1980s and 1990s.

United States Grand Prix on Sunday!


Last year, it was a Red Bull Infiniti sweep led by Sebastian Vettel. This year will mark the third year Circuit of the Americas will host the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, which will take place on Sunday.

Despite the NFL, I can clearly say that this is "Motorsports Day in Texas." Why? Not only the USGP, but also the Sprint Cup race at the Texas Motor Speedway, both at the same time. Despite Caterham and Marussia withdrawing, there will still be racing. Tune in on NBC Sunday a little bit before 2pm CST for the start.
