J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS. wow who would have thought the Jets would still be in and the Patriots out. Then again who would have thought it possible to score 96 points in a playoff game. Dallas is alive and well while Philly is headed home. No one is picking the Saints to win this weekend and the Chargers had a really bad break with the Pats losing as they now face the Jets defense which may match up better with the Chargers offense and that must concern Chargers fans as their team always finds a way to lose in postseason even when they are the better team.
So my Ravens vs. Eagles Super Bowl has taken some hits. But I will move on. I dont think the Ravens will make the Super Bowl now. I did like the Chargers chances but with the Jets defense you never know. So It now looks like Indys to lose, meanwhile i have no faith in the Saints or Vikings. Not even going to go to the Brett Favre hate, dont need to they wont win their next two games no matter who they may have to face. Now a 51 to 45 Super Bowl would be AWESOME!

4 January 10
Well Happy New Year, blah blah blah. Anyway, so my Ravens vs. Eagles Superbowl prediction is still alive as we approach the begining of the playoff season, but doesnt look so good right now. San Diego is by far playing the best football right now today! They are Hot Hot Hot. Three repeat matchups for the start of postseason adds some interest or maybe boredom. I certainly dont want to see those matchups again. Cardinals will not last. Jets certainly wont last. Who knows what we will get from the Saints, and the Vikings will entertain but I dont see them making it to the big game. I think the winner of the Cowboys vs. Eagles has the best shot. the Chargers just look real strong. The Colts have lost their fire. Welker is out and so are the Patriots.
CBB is starting to heat up.
That January 1st outdoor Hockey game was fantastic, its time for one to be played in New York. I see the Rangers vs. Devils next year as a good matchup played in the New Giants Stadium or even Yankee Stadium so get on it NHL!!!

Its the time of year when football teams are gearing up for the playoffs and the choking begins. Yeah yeah Indy wants to prepare for the Super Bowl by losing. Saints are lost, Vikings are tired and the AFC Wild Card includes everyone with a pulse. Yippie, no strong teams. Oops Im sorry Team Chargers you guys are actually playing hard and winning big. I guess your plan of going all out is the key. Well atleast we have one team that has its nose to the grind, now of course next weekend they wont play have their people and will still beat the Dedskins. So its wrong for one of your coaches to interview for your job, while you are still in it? Or did all of you miss the bigger picture in the fact they found the first African American close to home and did a fake interview so they could go ahead in hire Mike Shanahan and please the NFL by faking the interview for the Rooney Rule? Yeah more of the later I would say.
Hey Urban Meyer you are NOT on the Hot Seat so why are you stressing out? It could be worse, you could be Mike Leach, Charlie Weis, or even Bob "better not lose another bowl game" Stoops, or for that matter, Jim "I cant win the big one again" Tressel. Life is good its warm in Florida and you always have excellent recruiting classes so seriously why the long face?
How is Kansas ranked #1 in CBB? Texas and Kentucky have played better competition and won all of them. Kansas is #1 on name alone. They havent impressed yet. Even Syracuse has played better than Kansas. Who in the world has Purdue beat that gives them such a lofty perch? Why is North Carolina in the Top Ten with 3 losses? Who exactly have they not lost to, that keeps them up so high. Yes they may be good but not Top Ten good right now.

Has anyone seen the Pittsburgh Steelers, they seem to have gone missing. Seriously, how do you lose to the Cleveland Browns when you are in a playoff hunt? How do you play that poorly. Troy Palamalu cant be that great that without him you go from Super Bowl Champ to super Chump. For all you Big Ben fans its ok, he isnt that great, its time to understand that now. Hey cant beat you, he is no Manning or Brady.
Syracuse beat Florida last night by 12 and now have basically taken apart three top 25 teams in this short season already. They have won each game this year by double digits, so where is the love? Everyone was quick to denonunce them when they lost an EXHIBITION game, now that they are killing teams where is the same press for praise? by the way, Kentucky has won some big games recently, UNC and UCONN but by 2 and 3 points respectively, SU beat UNC by 18 and Florida by 12 and CAL by 25, so lets all get on the right bandwagon. We also start a freshman so shut up!!! Can you say more complete team!!!
So if Tim D (ex NBA ref) is correct who do i pay to help officials bring in a few more wins for the Knicks. If thats all it takes, who do i talk to? Clearly, the NBA has issues and should start fixing them instead of counting dollars. What a joke this league is!!!
Concussions are all of a sudden very important in the NFL, wow the NFL has lost several great QBs to this injury over the years but now its really important to look at??? Come on people, Roger Stauback, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, just to name a few, where was this concern years ago, oh wait years ago it didnt cost the league this much money to have stars not on the field, maybe you should stop overhyping players and start hyping TEAMS. Individual stars dont win on their own, the TEAM wins.
Brian Kelly has done a great job at Cincinnati, no doubt, but why does that make him the best fit for Notre Dame? I am not a Notre Dame fan by any stretch, I loved it when Holtz left, the fell off the map, but Kelly is the best you could do with the resources you have? That is shameful and ND fans should revolt. He isnt a recruiter and the players that will be eligeable at ND (academically) will not win in his program. They will still lose games 33-30. Shame Shame Shame.
These winter meetings in MLB have proven one thing for me, the Yankees are the only team that ever want to win NOW. Look at all the balking for players and salaries with teams saying we have to look to the future. Well keep looking and you will still be losing. You can never take away a championship, so why not just go for it! Why try to play the we are building a team for the future game, when you are close now and can do it now!!! See Dodgers, Angels, Phillies, Mets, these teams can pay but dont want to. Mariners are going for it but have no shot, its cold and rains there all the time who wants to play there. Cardinals know beyond a shadow of doubt without Holliday, they wont keep Puljos so there goes that franchise, just pick up the tab and go compete for a title. Speaking of dumb, why would anyone want Milton Bradley, can you say cancerous?

The Yankees won the World Series this year and a lot of the talk afterwards was about the "Core Four", Jeter, Posada, Rivera, and Petitte. Nowwhen you look at these four that now have 5 World Series Championships apiece, who makes the Hall of Fame. At first glance, we know that Rivera will go in for his Post Season stats alone and is a virtual lock first ballot HOFer. Next, Jeter is also a first ballot HOFer, and thats even if neither played another game, they are both in. Now you get to Pettite, and with him coming back for another year, he can further make his case. He wont be the lock that the other two are, but he has a very reasonable chance. He could end up with over 100 more wins than losses if he wins six more than he loses in the upcoming season. All pitchers that have that stat that are eligiable are in. He has the most post season wins. He pitched in 8 World Series with two teams. He does have a high ERA but this is the steroid era where hitters obviously had the advantage. He admitted to HGH but his reason of trying to recover from injury and being honest about it will help him and he is very likeable. He should make it. Last, we get to Posada, and he will be the hardest case of the "Core Four", because of his stats. Yes he has 5 Rings, he is a reasonably good hitting catcher which is a very tough position. But his stats dont jump out at you at all. His best years are average, maybe not for a catcher but for hitters in general. Only once did he reach 100 RBIs. He hit 30 HRs once. He will finish with probably around 1700 hits, so his case will be very debatable. It gets back to his contributions to the teams that won 5 Rings, and the first one he was a backup, the next time he split time. So where does he rank with HOF catchers? The Yankees will undoubtably retire all 4 of these guys numbers when they quit playing. Its tough sometimes because these are Yankees and the Yankee lore and history will be most of what these guys are judged by, but they are truly great players and probably only three will get the Hall Call. The biggest thing to remember when looking at these four is this, it is A LOT HARDER now to win it all than it was for Yankee teams of years gone by. You can say Pettite has more wins in post season because of the extended playoffs, but keep in mind to win it all you have to go through three rounds now and that makes it so much harder to keep playing at a level of excellence because each series you play against tougher and tougher teams. Wouldnt it be amazing if all four retired together and got inducted to the HOF together, but alas that wont happen. Jeter will play a lot longer than the other three as Rivera, Posada and Pettite are all older and have dimishing skills where as Jeter could keep hitting for years to come. By the way, Jeter is ahead of Pete Roses pace for all time hits.

People its time to start realizing that once you begin to idolize some human being because they are really good at something, they get knocked down. God is letting you know he is the only one to idolize. Its a commandment, yet all of you still want to find sports figures as idols. Shame on you. If you look at it most of these sports idols fall prey to the simplest of transgressions too. Magic, Jordan and now Tiger, sins of the flesh. They dont even go out of their way to screw up tough ones, they simply just abuse their status by falling for the oldest trick in the book the devil employs, sex. The downfall of the majority of men is sins of flesh. Does sex change their ability to play sports, no but it does change our perception of them. So pay attention, why idolize a human being and then act surprised when they fall, even David fell!!! Its not that God isnt paying attention, its that he is paying attention. If your super idol is tempted so easily, God shows you that He is the only one!
And so now in Week 13, it looks as if my prediction of Baltimore vs. Philidelphia in the Super Bowl isnt going to happen. How did they fall so fast? Ray Lewis is only so good and that offense isnt producing as it should. Philly could make a statement but they arent consistent enough either. The Redskins should be 6-6 but arent because of their inability to close out games with what is touted as a great defense. Haynesworth isnt worth $100 million, he is a big tired crybaby. The Vick experiment is boring. Favre came back to earth, thank goodness. Eventually, all gunslingers go back to slinging, hahaha Vikings get back on track and hand the ball to Peterson.
Seriously, TCU vs. Boise St, come on is that the best we can do. TCU should be playing Florida, Cincinnati should be playing Boise St and what kind of world sends Iowa to a BCS bowl. Are that many teams this bad? USC fell apart. Notre Dame needs to swallow its pride and join the Big Ten. IF it wasnt for alumni we wouldnt even hear about ND. They havent been relevant in years!!! But so many want them to be they whine in the media to keep hopes alive. BOO HOO let it go. You are either an institution of higher learning or a sports factory, ie. Florida, Alabama, USC, etc... Speaking of which, why are they considering paying athletes? They get an opportunity for a FREE education. Ask any kid that wants to go to a school that cant afford it if they think athletes should also get paid and they will laugh at you. You are either there to teach or produce professional players, not both. Too bad higher learning is about money.
If the road to the World Series goes through New York, then why dont more teams want to pony up for a guy with a career winning percantage of .750 against them. Really, do you want to make money or win championships. Say what you will about the Steinbrenners, they want to win and are willing to spend to do it. So all you Yankee haters stop whinning because your ownership just wants to make money, Championships be damned. Speaking of stupid, the Nationals are paying Pudge $6 million over two years for a backup roll. Really, that is your idea of improving your fan base and increase ticket sales? Their starting catcher doesnt even make that. Wow. Some people know how to spend others dont have a clue.

Hey didnt they use to play basketball in New Jersey?
So the top three teams have stayed the top three teams all year, Florida, Alabama, and Texas, boring. Does anyone remember the year everyone just keep losing when they got to the top, it was only 2007. Boy the good old days. TCU will get no shot at title. Cincinnati should lose against Pitt so atleast they will know why they will get no shot at the title. Boise State well atleast they have that cool blue turf cause thats all they get. But what can i expect you all are the same people that keep picking from Republicans and Democrats no matter how bad they are, this country use to be about how was best for the job. Now its about picking the lesser of two evils. What a shame!
Favre just wont go away. cant any defense fix this problem. one good hit and hes done that all defensive coordinators, he doesnt like getting hit, send the kitchen sink after him in the first half and knock him and Minnesota out! Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Favre, Chris Johnson all very nice MVP candidates sure, but what which one is the one you want with the ball when it matters? Goodbye Broncos, Giants, Falcons its been nice seeing you. Hello Titans, Eagles and Bengals. Where did you go Ravens, come back, I had you going all the way! Has anyone seen Joe Flacco cir. 2008?
How is MLB making so much money and teams are losing money?
Derek Jeter SI Sportsman of the Year. Normally, I would love this but really who were the other choices, most of these bums er, professional athletes are drunk, drugged, overpaid, wife beaters, strip club frequenters, really where are the men that use to play sport.
For all those that believe money buys happiness just ask Elin Woods. Her husband is loaded and bored apparently. WHo hasnt had a wife chase them out into the night with a weapon upon finding out there is some infidelity. so what people move on. She will get more than half, they have two kids.
The one and done rule in NCAA basketball is stupid stupid stupid. All this great young talent will be long gone before it even develops. Its too bad too because follow on years could be real exciting with the talent in college this year. One year is not enough time to Gell. Everyone wants money, doesnt anyone actually want a championship? Isnt that why we play the game? to be the best, the Champs? Why does everyone want money? A lot of the pro athletes end up broke anyway, cant manage their own finances.

Well the year is crusing by and what a bore the football season is becoming. Teams are terrible, Giants, Ravens, Eagles, Steelers, etc... Only two three teams playing well, Colts, Saints and Vikes. And please no Vikes Super Bowl win, i dont think i could handle all the Favre love. He would be knighted and that would be painful. The college football season almost seems to be a wash. Start to finish Florida, Alabama and Texas are walking in the park. Three good teams Cincinnati, TCU and Boise St. have no chance at title and that sucks, I now and forever will hate the Bowls. People there will never be a playoff in major college football and that is a crime. FBS Football Bowl Subdivision, yup never be a playoff and all you fools will continue to contribute to it by going to the games and watching on tv instead of making a stand and boycotting these things so they lose money and have to heed the voices of the public we will continue to watch the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Even mentioning a second place Big Ten team as a BCS bowl contender is so wrong over an undefeated team that just shows People are selfish. Shame on all of you for not fighting back, where is the American spirit? 16 teams fighting for the championship. why are we even considering sending teams that dont even win their conference to the top games.

Well Football is at a point where its just ugly to me. There are no good teams in the NFL right now, yes that includes you Colts and Saints. Just because you have been handed wins doesnt make you good. THe Vikings have played one defense and lost, so you are suspect plus you got the old guy and he will crumble like always. The Bad teams, Raiders, Chiefs, Rams are all really really bad. The Redskins think they can make the playoffs!!! thats the best joke so far this season. Win more than one in a row then we will talk. NCAA is just as bad, there are no more blowouts in collge football, no more dominating teams, yes shut up alabama, you are not that dominate. You have 6 undefeateds but it wont matter only two get the big money, its about time we start calling it that as that is all NCAA cares about. MONEY MONEY MONEY. MONEY. I hope they have 5 undefeated teams at the end of the year and point fingers and tell certain programs yup you dont get any of this MONEY MONEY MONEY. its not a national championship, its teh MONEY BOWL!!!!! and by the way a PLUS 1 is an even dumber idea than the MONEY BOWL. No you are going to have TWO MONEY BOWLS in one season just how greedy are these people. Hey we get this bowl because fans travel, does anyone see the stupidity of that statement? WHat the hell do fans have to do with how good the teams are? Since when do fans play the games? You go to a bowl based on your merit as a team, well atleast you should but not in the NCAA MONEY MONEY MONEY BOWLS!!! hey no bowl for you, you dont bring any MONEY.
MLB shortening the season so we dont play games in November or in a Blizzard not even on the table, why? Refer to earlier answer: MONEY MONEY MONEY. hey its a rich mans world!!!!
Horseshoes anyone?

My time is up I cant avoid it any longer, so i will issue my statement. Today i must eat crow. I said that NO TEAM with Alex Rodriquez on it would ever win a Championship. I am wrong. He proved to be a ehh winner. He played best when his team needed him. He really carried them at a couple of points this playoff season. He is a good player. Sorry but that is the best I can do. He is A-Rod, no more call him the other thing, which i liked a little, to be honest. But give him his do, he put all himself behind him played ball and is a champion. He did have help though, IM just saying. now i will get it together and move on.
What kind of weird football universe are we on? The Giants have now lost 4 straight and are inventing new ways to lose. The Cowgirls look actually good. Hey Colin Cowherd whats up with that Lock pick of Philly over Dallas. Thanks for nothing. A rookie QB in Tampa put up more points by himself than the Redskins have all year. My pick for the Super Bowl at midseason looks horrible; Baltimore vs. Philly. Yuck yuck yuck. Has New Orleans scored less than 30 points at any time this year? Are the Colts getting lucky? Vince Young is 2-0. with 8 to go.
Iowa blew it. I knew they would but i was hoping. Now the best we can do it 6 undefeated teams but of course someone has to lose SEC Champ. Bummer. Isnt Standford a volleyball school? Hey Oregon good ahh effort??? 52 points?? wow. Does anyone outside of the SEC play defense in this country? Well, one good thing happened this weekend, Notre Dame LOST to Navy. Its always a good weekend when they lose!!!
The NHL is in trouble if its best stars keep getting hurt. That guy in DC cant decide if he is out for a month or maybe a couple of games and they cant win without him. So how many days till the outside game again, that is about all i like of the regular season.

Brett Favre blah blah blah, Packers blah blah blah, thank goodness now they are done playing each other can we please stop hearing about this ridiculously lame story. By the Way for all you out there, this story started before the 13-3 seasons end, Ted Thompson and Brett butted heads drastically the year prior which started it all. Favre wanted Thompson to bring in Randy Moss and he said no, then Favre watched as Tom Brady with Randy Moss set all kinds of passing records and oh by the way go undefeated, that was the end of the relationship between those two and they have hated each other since. Favre thought he had power, Thompson proved he didnt and now they both are idiots.
Hey didnt you guys used to be the undefeated top of your class Giants? How in the world did the Rams score 17 points? Hey the Redskins scrimmaged themselves in their by week and only lost by 10 points.
So now here it is 2nd of November and the Yankees hold a 3 to 1 lead. Cliff Lee will go tonight for the Phillies in a must win after Brad Lidge lost his composure in Game 4. AJ Burnett will go on 3 days rest to try to clinch for the Yankees. The longer it stays close the better for New York and obviously a bullpen game could be very interesting provided Riveria doesnt come in. If its tied and they pull Lee it could be ugly for the Phillies. Tell me something, why not just pitch Chad Gaudin and let Burnett and Petitte rest, and they both can pitch game six if needed and allow CC game 7? If Lee throws another gem you waste Burnett who is better at home anyway. What if Gaudin could keep it close that would completely put all the pressure on the Phillies and maybe make them crack. I mean the Yankees have beaten Cliff Lee before, so anything is possible but Giradi has his ideas I guess and one win away from the Champioship and he is going for the throat, thats good if you are a Yankee fan. And for the Phillies what do you do if Lee gives up some early runs, when does panic time set in?

I mean the Yankees have beaten Cliff Lee before, so anything is possible but Giradi has his ideas I guess and one win away from the Champioship and he is going for the throat, thats good if you are a Yankee fan. And for the Phillies what do you do if Lee gives up some early runs, when does panic time set in?

One more day to Halloween. And yet i get no candy, just because i am too old to fit into a custome, it just doesnt seem fair.
Two games down in the World Series and its all tied at 1. Cliff Lee was lights out in game 1 and AJ Burnett pitched 7 solid innings to get the series tied up. Lots of good pitching not a lot of hitting coming from Ryan Howard or Alex Rodriquez. So what is in store for us this weekend in this series? Baseball has proved it needs Instant Replay so how long till Selig gets this done? Another two back to back bad calls and i dont want to hear any well they evened out talk, because that just doesnt cut it anymore.
Favre goes back to Green Bay this weeekend still dont care. But this should be the last time we have to hear about Favre and Green Bay. I agree with Mike Golic right now Aaron Rodgers is a better QB. If Rodgers had Adrian Peterson, his teams won loss record would be better too.
I am all for having about 5 or 6 different FBS teams go undefeated this year and see who the computer, you know the one that Bill Gates made that freezes up all the time, pick the BCS game. I mean Iowa of all teams has the toughest battle as no one wants to see a Big Ten team in the big game again, thank you Ohio State. TCU couldnt get into a good conference like its fellow Texas' schools, Cincinnati and the Big East are not what the Big East used to be withoout Miami, Virginia Tech, who lost at home last night, and Boston COllege in the mix, Boise State will never be given a shot even without undefeated teams, the WAC is horrible, so whats the fix without a playoff? Here is a radical idea make conference champions play each other in the early Bowl schedule then pick the winners for the Big Bowls.
Hey NBA fans did you see the game 6 2002 Western COnference finals apparently neither did the refs.

It all comes down to this: You catch the ball, you throw the ball, and you hit the ball. Everything else is just gravy. It doesnt matter what happened yesterday it only matters what happens after the umpire says "play ball" And so tonight starts the 2009 MLB World Series between the New York Yankees and Philidelphia Phillies. What is a Philly by the way? Everyone says Yankees in 6. I dont I say Yankees in 4! But hey its going to be baseball at its best.
Sabathia vs Lee
Martinez vs Burnett
Petitte vs Hamels
After that its anyones guess. WHo will hit better? Who will run? How good will the defense be?Whos uniforms look better, well duh the Yankees, they dont change! You cant mistake those pinstrips! Matsui. THere you have it.
What's next?

Its nice being a Giants fan here in DC as i sit and listen each day going to and from work all the Redskins fans wanting to fire everyone because their team is not producing much. It is great and makes the commute more bearable.
The NBA kicks off its season and i will say it again, not even interesting until March.
Didnt NFL Europe fail, so why are we playing games in London? They will never like our football over there just like we dont like their football over here. Surprising as they are all violent fans and our game certainly has some violence in it. Just ask and linemen!
College Football this year has no clear dominate team, is it me or are there just too many 23 to 17 games going on? When do we get to see teams dominate like the days of old. Iowa wants to be involved in the BCS championship game talk and yet they won 15 to 13 on a last second touchdown of which i have to wonder what the CB was thinking when he was guarding that receiver. It was clearly a slant route. Alabama almost and probably should have lost AT HOME, to Tennessee. Why do coaches settle for field goal attempts, that is playing to not lose which is usually what happens. That DL Cody for Alabama was lucky he wasnt called for one of those celebrating penalities as the play wasnt dead and he threw he helmet off. That would have been great a 15 yard penalty and rekick! Is it me or does USC always lose to an unranked PAC10 team? why are they never punished for that, they are still in the top 5 in polls? The ACC is horrible, the Big 12 North is even worse, the Big East isnt much better and the Mountain West wants acceptablility. Yuck. The best fame of the year is going to be the SEC Championship. How can we seriously consider Iowa, TCU, Boise St, and Cinncinati when they couldnt even win a division of the SEC let alone the conference. Here is routing for Texas and a decent BCS game for a change.

2009 World Series New York Yankees vs. Philidelphia Philles. Seems poetic. Angels really dont like cold weather. Hey Cleveland CC vs Cliff, they used to be yours. bummer. after all the hub bub isnt Mariano Riveria the real "Mr. October"?
Hey Eagles fans, see what happens when you run the ball against Raiders, you win and win HUGE. bummer on that 46 passes thing, maybe you need a new game plan eh? Giants have lost two in a row. New Orleans sure can light up a scoreboard. Were there any good games this weekend, i think not!!! how many teams lost by 4 touchdowns, atleast 6, same, and so much for that parody thing.
Yankees in 6. Two home run producing parks and lineups. how about three or four 8 to 7 games?
Baltimore Ravens vs. Philidelphia Eagles Super BOwl is looking a little rough right now, but its a long season.
Isnt Jim Zorn a nice guy? So calm.
Hey for $1.5 billion dollars how come they couldnt get a retrackable roof?

Phillies up 3 to 1 and Yankees up 3 to 1, two teams with monster lineups, yet what do you want to bet that the WOrld Series between them would be about pitching. Each needs atleast one more win to get there so dont start the debate yet.
Isnt it nice when you buy something shiny and new and it actually works out to your expectation levels for when you made the purchase. CC Sabathia has done everything that the Yankees could have hoped for so far this postseason. Burnett hasnt been that bad either, now if they could just get Tex to hit, they would have hit the trifecta on their offseason acquistions.
Hey has anyone seen the Ryan Howard that struck out a million times this season, he has gone missing.
Wasnt the Dodger bullpen supposed to be a strength going into these playoffs? In all fairness to Manny, which i hate to do, the game should have been over, Broxton didnt do his job, they win and no one would have even heard about the shower. Why does it seem that with extra umpires in the playoffs more calls are being missed, isnt more supposed to be better?
Pro Football needs a minor league like the other sports, there is too much watered down football, we could start by placing the Raiders, Rams (hey didnt they both used to be in LA), Lions, and Chiefs there as intial teams! No not the Redskins, we still need a few teams to pick on and laugh at. The Guy never worked as anything more than a Quartback Coach, what did they think would happen?
People keep telling me the Hockey and Basketball are playing but I tell them, those two sports dont start until March when they begin to play to see what four teams wont make the playoffs.
One more thing, Serena Williams and a couple of others did a nice photo shoot, stop whining about it and start doing more of them, we need more bare essentials in the world!!

Yankees are winning with A-Rod being clutch. Who would have figured that? Tex hasnt been hitting but the two pitchers they picked up have been more than could have been hoped for and the bullpen has been fantastic even if missused a bit.
The Phillies are certainly handling the Dodgers pretty easily, can the Dodgers make it a series?
Hey I think Tom Brady just through another TD pass.
What in the world happened to the Titans? Did the Eagles forget to show up yesterday? How do you lose to the Raiders? That Saints offense is good! Its not even fun making fun of the Redskins anymore, they are just BAD!
College football is just a let down right now, there are no dominant teams at all! yup i said it, NO dominant teams out there just screaming we are the team to beat. Boy you have to feel bad for Sam Bradford, he comes back giving up the No1 overall pick in the draft and just cant stay healthy. For all those of you wondering why most college atheletes dont come back that is the reason, he wont even be drafted in the first round when he does come out. Tim Tebow will be drafted higher to play fullback. So sad for Bradford.
Phil Jackson wants Ron Artest to be more aggresive. Really, that last time Artest was really aggressive didnt he charge into a crowd at the Palace and cause a little ruckous?

Sunday really hurt the Boston area, Red Sux sweeped as their closer blew the game and Patriots lose to Broncos and those hideous uniforms in overtime. ouch
So i totally blew all the National League series games. Dodgers won in three and the Phillies won in four. So now its LA vs Phil. But the A-Rod came through in a big way. So now its Yankees and Angels in ALCS. The Yankees offseason acquisitions: CC 6 2/3, 1 ER, AJ 6, 1 ER Tex 1 GW Home Run. So far so good. But the series belonged to A-Rod, 2 HRs and 6 RBIs, by the way, he knocked in Jeter three times. We are left with the best two teams in each league fighting for the Championship, MLB has to be excited with the largest markets still involved.
Broncos 5-0, Redskins lose again to a winless team, just awesome by the way, the Zorn watch will get interesting, Wildcat running all over. Titans 0-5, Manning boys looking good, Cowboys pull one out of nowhere, McNabb is healthy, the Bengals leading their division, impressive, does this mean more ochocinco talk coming, and finally whats up with retro uniforms?
Please kill retro unis, they are scary and hurtful to the eyes. Josh McDaniel was sure happy Sunday! Wow from mahiem to 5-0, dont really know what to make of this team just yet, Monday night sure will be interesting Broncos vs. Chargers in San Diego.
Just how bad is Florida State and how where they able to whip BYU? No one plays defensive football like the SEC, Fla 13 LSU 3. Ok i will admit I am already looking forward to the FLA vs. ALA SEC Championship game, offenses beware!!!!

Day 1 MLB Playoffs:
Phi 5 Col 1
NYY 7 Minn 2
LAD 5 STL 3
All in all pretty much what was expected, ok maybe with the exception of Carpenter pitching so badly. Wow wrong time to have your worst outing eh? How can Albert Pulojus and Matt Holliday be sooo bad against lefties? Really really bad, that is shameful.
NFL right now is nothing but will he play or wont he? Or worse yet should he play or should he not, sounds like a Shakespeare play doesnt it?
Why do they start the NHL season in October, and now NBA preseason, this may be the busiest month of sports, we all know that February is the lightest.
Isnt NASCAR supposed to be taking stock cars and racing them, because last time i checked there are no role bars in any stock cars on any lot in this city, do i have to go down south to find that? Anyway, Dale Jr must be a terrible driver, he is with the best racing team and hasnt done a damn thing for them or himself or his crew! Well atleast he is making money with Brett Farver selling Wrangler Jeans!!!! wooo hooo

What a great game last night Twins 6 TIgers 5 in 12. Now they get to face the Yankees team that is rested and ready to christen the new ballpark. So here we go:
Yankees in 4
Red Sux in 5
Rockies in 4
Cardinals in 4
Yankees in 7
Cardinals in 6
Yankees in 6
hey Vikings fans the Jets started 8-3 last year and missed the playoffs so dont get all Favre goo goo just yet. He still will be his old self and start chucking the ball around.
To Tebow or not to Tebow, well its your season if you lose, so figure the odds he wont play. Bradford on the other hand, take another week off, you dont see Texas till the following week. The Texas game is your season!
Does anyone notice that the Hockey season started? Ovechkin has 9 points already in three games, move over Syd the Kid, this could be the Caps year.
If ever there was a year where A-Rod could excell in the playoffs, its this year. He has no pressure on him as its a team of good hitters and they have some good pitching to go with it. He could quietly win it all for the Yankees and become a legend. Or he could once again be himself.
McNabb will be back this weekend and thank goodness, now for the rest of you shut up about Vick. He is not a starter in this league, not this year anyway. The guy hired in Washington to be the Offensive Coordinator that then became the Head Coach just got an Offensive Consultant, yup he will be gone very very soon, Sorry Mr. Zorn but the writings is on the wall. How in the world did the Raiders win a game and the Titans havent? Crabtree are you serious? What a waste of time and money, dumb dumb dumb!
