On the 27 nice -- this month July 27 at 7 PM at but that is the Barnes & Noble talking about a little bit more -- -- -- the sportsmen but. I -- encourage people to chat about one encourage people to get out there and just go different places because there's a wonderful world -- you don't know about it. Think it'll pass -- grab a ticket. Utilized being in it's it's incredible. They do price predictions as a hotel -- indicators all these different tools and methodologies that allow you. To save money while at the same time being in the traveler keys. There's certainly opened my mind as a sports fan traveling -- -- I grew up here in the United States play in traditional American sports when I just go to your. I fell in love with soccer where in your time doing that TV show was -- a sport that caught your eye or really -- you never thought you'd like before and you do a lot of them. But in a lot of people talk bad about cricket -- -- crickets to slow it takes forever they drink too much key this too there's so many rules I can't figure it out. And I actually found that I actually do like cricket and if you like baseball you have to like cricket because. As you travel and as you learn about all these different sports. You know the United States is actually rather. Young country in the sports and player actually reformulated. Fuel baseball isn't iteration of cricket. And that was one of the sports that I actually found. That I was more attractive to bowl after I left Jamaica than when I first arrived so. I personally about track cricket but this. Thousands of sports all around the world but you have to kind of open your eyes -- -- to travel so that -- learn about the -- of the sports it's a big world and I know nothing you -- you -- and helped you.

Ready for the season startup was like out we don't play football. Well you know they take their time and you know I'm enjoying the offseason. You know it's it's terrible that the lockout even had a car because I think there's a lot of people that -- lost out -- lot of fans that. That are discouraged by the fact that it even occurred. But football will be back on track but. What I hope is that guys. In the league had a moment to take them take by themselves and really examine the things that they're passionate about off the field. What company bmg creative we and the engine management we folks -- -- help guys like that find. The things of their past about so that ultimately when the game locks him out completely.
