In an upset heard around the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints in an overtime victory. Going into this week’s game the Saints were 13-1, while the Buccaneers were 2-12. It seemed as though this game was going to be an easy win for the Saints. It may have been overconfidence that led the Saints to their second consecutive loss this season. Before last week the Saints were undefeated and Buccaneers had only one win under their belt.

Up until the fourth quarter the Buccaneers had 3 points on the board, while the Saints held the lead with 17 points. Many fans probably turned the game off at that point-thinking the Buccaneers had no chance. The Saints also thought that the Buccaneers had no chance, but in the 4^th quarter the Buccaneers came back with a vengeance. In the fourth quarter the Buccaneers scored 14 points. Saints fans were living in Bizzaro World this afternoon when the opposite of what was supposed to happen started to occur. The Saints led the game by scoring the first 17 points of the game. Then the Buccaneers got on the board with a field goal in the second quarter and did not allow any more points from the Saints. No one scored in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter it was on. The Buccaneer scored 14 points in fourth quarter with a touchdown by Cadillac Williams and extra point by Connor Barth. Then Michael Spurlock scored a 77 yard punt return and Connor Barth made the extra point again. The game went into overtime and the Buccaneers scored a 3 point field goal to win the game and bring hope to Tampa Bay fans.

Hopefully this means that the Buccaneers are starting to find themselves and coming into their own. Most of all, hopefully this win means that Raheem Morris gets to coach the Buccaneers for another year.

A daycare in Ohio has recently fired two staff workers after allegations that children in their care were given a sleep aid during naptime. According to an article on Cincinnati.com, children were given the over the counter medication Melatonin at the daycare center at Covenant Apostolic Church. One family of a child that attended the daycare center has filed a lawsuit.

Although, no one was convicted the pastor of the Covenant Apostolic Church was quoted as saying:

“To my knowledge this is a sleep-aid supplement that can be purchased at any local stores, but this should not have occurred,” he said. “We have fully cooperated with police. Our program remains open and operational and the police are satisfied that our day care has been run safely.”

Children, especially those at such a young age, are innocent and left dependent on the adults taking care of them. It is sad and crazy that they could have been given any drug. I know that parents have to be upset that something like this could have happened to their children. The trust of the children and the parents were violated.

Babynames.com has released the list of top baby names based on their popularity among visitors to their web site. This may not actually be the names that people named their children, but names that parents may have been most curious about. I know that when I was pregnant there were several names that I searched for and wanted to know the meaning behind each name. Also, when I hear a unique name I sometimes search for the name without actually wanting to name a child that name.

Here is the List from BabyNames.com

While the kids are at home from school during the winter vacation break, you may not be able to stay at home or have someone to be at home with them. A safe option is to enroll them into a winter vacation break camp. Several local places are offering the camps during the time that children are off from school. Most are closed during Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.

“Good Morning America” is letting the anchor position stay in the ABC family by moving George Stephanopoulos into the co-host position left vacant by Diane Sawyer’s move to “World News Tonight”. Stephanopoulos was host of the political show “This Week”. Stephanopoulos will be commuting from Washington D.C., where he and his family have living and where he has hosted “This Week,” to New York City, where “Good Morning America” is filmed. At the end of the school year George Stephanopoulos, his wife, and two girls will move to New York permanently.

So far “World News Tonight” has had two consecutive hosts come from “Good Morning America.” It would not be surprising to see George Stephanopoulos take over the “World News Tonight” position after Dianne Sawyer decides to step down from the position years from now. He is respected and would do great as her successor at “World News Tonight.”
