Ken Hamlin has been cleared to play next year. That makes the loss of Manuel a little easier to take. Still need some more depth in the secondary, but this is some good news after the Hutch thing.

Ryan Attwood turns 18. Since he and Marissa broke up, he was unsure about inviting her. But He did invite Sadie, and she changed plans to make it. Sandy went looking for Ryan’s mom, and found out she was in a New Mexico jail. As a birthday gift, she made a mix tape again, just like the one that was burned in the fire in season one. She happened to go back to that home as it was being remodeled as she was looking for Drovak, and fainted when she started thinking of the past.

It has been awhile, but we all know who to blame. Ryan Seacrest and the American Idol people who need three nights to do their stupid show. Well in case you forgot, Johnny died by getting drunk and falling off a cliff. This really affected Marissa and last night her and Ryan broke up. That did not seem to bother Ryan because he and Gwen (Johnny’s cousin) went looking for Johnny’s dad, and there were some sparks there. THere was not much on the seth and summer page, though Summer did find out that her dad is dating Julie Cooper. Sandy had a successful attempt to get the hospital board to look over his proposal again, though Kirsten thought her tactics were out of character for him.
I think we have a few new episodes in a row these next few weeks. Hopefully things are starting to heat up in the OC.

If I understand this correctly, the NFL’s collective bargining agreement has less than 24 hours to come to terms. The NFL is the most successful sports league in the world. How did they let this thing get so close to the deadline. My love for the seahawks could quickly end if they start hording money like the Mariners, and stop trying to win. Oh well, raise your hand if your team is owned by a founder of Microsoft. (Viking, put your hand down.)
