Things we learn this past decade in sports
Things we learn this past decade in sports
- Brett Farve is the boy who cried "I'm retiring" and nobody beleaved him
- Bigger is not allows better as kickers had a field day with the big screen TV @ new Cowboys stadium as they keep try to hit it during practice and then some actual dentally hit it during the game and it is like in the field of play
-Manny just wants to be Manny
- The curse of Babe Ruth can be broken just fall down 3-1 and look like you don't care
- The Toronto Maple are scaried of competition (on and off the ice)
- Baseball peaked at their stroid problem and then pulled the covers over their heads again and hoped it was only a nighmare.
- The NFL rewards players who are caught using stroid (Shawn Merriman defensive MVP after sitting out 4 games for stroid use)
- Americans can handle one hockey game a year (winter classic)
- Use can make a 3-ball every game in a decade and not even get to the NBA finals (Dallas and Toronto)
- That superstars really want to play together in the NBA (Lakers, Celtics, and Heat)
- The Yankees can spend money very poorly (A.J. Barnett, Jason Giambi, Carl Pavano)
- Not good enough to make the playoffs and not bad enough to get a top 5 draft pick leaves NFL in limbo (Buffalo Bills)
- A grocery bag check out guy (Kurt Warner) can take one of the worest franchise in NFL history (Cardinals) to the Superbowl
- It does pay to be one of the worest teams in the NHL for a few years (Penquins/Capitals)
- Tom Brady (Patriots) and Payton Manning (Colts) are very lucky players to be playing on the teams their on because Manning could have been Leaf and Brady is made by the system.
- If you are a western team in the NFL you can go from worst to first over night as the AFC and NFC West are both not good.

team of the decade in the NFL
As the first decade of the 21 century is coming to a close on the weekend I thought what was the best team (franchise) in the NFL for this time period and this is what I came up with the New England Patriots.
To start the run to fourth Superbowl appearances and 3 championships of 4 season like most things happened when people lest respected it with your francise quarterback Drew Bledsoe (just signed a 10/100m contract) gets hurt in the second game of the 2001 season and is out for the rest of the season. Then a 6-round pick in Tom Brady comes in and after starting the season 0-2 in the following 14 games of the season Brady guided the Patriots to a 11-3 record and the 6 of the season. Then on a snowy day on January 22Nd,2002 @ Foxboro Stadium where for the first and only time in NFL history a rule called the Tuck Rule where it was ruled that Brady's arm was going forward as he was sacked which overturned a fumble call on the field that would of ended the game but instead the Patriots were able to kick a game-tying 47 yard field goal to send the game to overtime where the Patriots beat the Raiders, 16-13. Then beat the Steelers and then the defending Superbowl champions the St. Louis Rams @ superbowl XXXVI and Tom Brady was named superbowl MVP and Adam Vinatieri kicked a 48 yard field goal on the last play of the superbowl to win it for the Patroits.
Bill Belichick is the mastermind of the team of the decade because the team has allows prided themselves on their defense and when palyers left the defence for the big bucks else where he would be able to find through the draft, free agancy, or by trade and the team would not miss a beat. He has allows been able to come up with a game plan to win and more often they would (125 - 50 record in the 2000's even with a 5-11 record in 2000) and he has brought in average running backs and it has been enough to get the job done. Then the wide receivers have a been a group and not individuals and the best example of this that the team was more successful before Randy Moss (3 Superbowl championship) and after he left as the 2010 (13-2) is their best season since 2007 and it was looking like early in the season it was going to be a rebuilding season for the defense. Then he has brought back a wide receiver that was best in the Patriots system Deion Branch and Wes Welker is the quietist # 1 receiver on the best team in the NFL.
Adam Vinatieri was a huge part of the 3 superbowl in 4 seasons with the last play 48-yard field in 2002, a game winning 41-yard field goal in 2004, and finally a game deciding 22-yard field goal in 2005 and was key player for the Patriots before he went to the Colts for the money.
Tom Brady was leader of the team since 2001 and has 2 superbowl MVPs and was the NFL MVP for the 2007 season where he throw 50 TD passes where the Patriots were undefeated in the regular season (16-0). He has won 27 straight regular season home games and he also holds the record for most consecutive pass attempts (308) without an interception and has the five best passer rating with 95.0 of QBs who have thrown atleast 1500 passes while he is 15-3 in the playoffs.
But ofcourse the Patriots are not without their controversal moments with Eric Mangini (former Patriots assistant coach) blowing the whisile on the Patriots for video taping signal calling when he was the head coach of the New York Jets and also the Rams had a complaint about the Patriots having one of their people sticking around after their practice @ the Patriots-Rams Superbowl and video taped the practice. Then their is that one and only use of the tuck rule that won the Patriots-Raiders game for them because if it was called a fumble the game would have been over but instead it was the beginning of the decade of the Patriots.

New York Giants and the sunday nighter now going to be a tuesday nighter
If you listen closely you can hear Tom Coughlin photo copying his resume so that when he is released by The Giants after all the mess with the CBA is settled because the way the fourth quarter Vs the Engles was handled was horrible with Coughlin chewing out the Punter @ the end of the game on the sideline. Then today during the game with the Packers when something went wrong you could see a coach yelling at the player and then u also saw Eli Manning yelling @ a receiver who messed up and a Packer defender picked off a Manning Pass. So it looks like nobody is incharged of the team as everybody is pointing fingers @ eachother and it looks like nobody has any composer especially in a huge win and your in game and now they need the biggest miricle. So that now they need the Bears to go to Green Bay and play the Packers and win when the Bears have nothing to gain and will not field a professional team as most players will be not play the whole game. Then we go back to the way the Giants ended last season with a 3-8 after starting with 5-0 and their last game @ old Giant Stadium being a 41-9 loss to the Carolina Panthers and then a 44-7 loss to Minnesota Vikings on the road and if they would have one these 2 games they would have been 10-6 they would have been in the playoffs or extremmely close and instead they got slattered 85-16. He could of been fired last year but was given a second chance and this year ending was as bad if not worst.
Then there is the poor poor Vikings fans who had all the hopes of getting to the NFC championship game and had all the right to think this after last season's ending and hoping to finally win a Superbowl. Then the Brett Farve situation took control of the season and the hopes and dreams all died the quick death like most years and now the fans just want the season to end and then the Metro dome roof collapsed and now they have to wait til Tuesday to play their second last game of the season as their is huge snow storm in Philly.
There is always next year? atleast Adrian Peterson will still be there

thoughts of the Christmas NFL and the big Sunday match-ups
Christmas Day Game - Cowboys Vs Cardinals
The game started with Dallas QB Jon Kitina thrown to Arizona TDs (INTs for TDs) to give the Cardinals a 14-0 and then Jon Kitina throws a TD pass and then gets hurt and leaves the game, 14-10. Cardinals QB John Skelton throws a TD pass to Andre Roberts for 74 yards to them up 21-10 and Marion Barber runs one in for a TD and both teams exchanged field goals and it is 24-20 with 2 minutes left. Then the fun happens Cowboy QB Stephen McGee throws a 37-yard TD pass to Miles Austin that goes throw the defenders hands and the extra point puts the Cowboys up by a field goal but the kicker misses it and the Cowboys are up 2. The Cardinals then have the game on the line 4Th and 15 and John Skelton finds Larry Fitzgarald (only catch of the day) for 26 yards and with no timeouts left he throws and finds Max Komar for 19 yards and the ball is at the 25 and they go up to spike the ball with 10-seconds left. The Cardinals are called for illegal formation that puts them back 5 yards but if it was a false start the clock would have run off 10 seconds and the game would have been over but Jay Feely is given a chance and kicks a game winning 48 yard field goal.
The Big games of Sundy
Saints @ Falcons
Plot: Falcons win they win the divison and one step closer to home field throughout the playoffs where Matt Ryan has only lost once in his three years in the NFL and if the Saints win they still have a chance @ the divison and maybe home field.
How the Saints can win this game:
The Saints need to rattle Matty Ice and have him throw some interceptions to shorten the field because this is going to be a high scoring game as both teams are known for their offenses and their defenses are their weaknesses. Drew Brees will need to manager the game and put together long drives to keep the Falcons offense off the field and use some of his last game magic to put a second home loss on Matty Ice.
How the Falcons can win this game:
The Falcons need a very good game from Matt Ryan and have him come up with his late game magic and to have him put together long drives to keep the Saints offense off the field and to have the defense step and stop the Saints at times to give the offense the chance to win the game.
How I think will win the game:
Falcons and Matt Ryan will win this game because with only 1 lose in 3 seasons he is extremmely comfortable at the Georgia Dome and will find some late game magic to put the game away and go on to the playoffs where they will not need to leave home until the Superbowl.
Giants Vs Packers
Plot: If the Giants win they go to the playoffs and the Packers need to be concerned about Arron Rogers head (concusion 2 weeks ago).
How the Giants can win the game:
Eli Manning needs to hand the ball off to Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs and let them run over the Packers run defense (117 yards per game) and if the combo is stopped Eli will need to strech the defense through the air to the likes of Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham and TE Kevin Boss. The Giants need to have their defense in Rogers face all day to give him less time to scan the field and find open receivers and finally the Giants will need to score early to get the crowd out of the game and not let that fourth quarter collapse last week (28 straight points given up in the fourth quarter to loss their chance @ the divison aganist the Engles) affect them.
How the Packers can win the game:
Arron Rogers head needs to be clear and focused and to find his open receivers like Greg Jennings, James Jones, and Donald Driver while they get something out of their running game Brandon Jackson with 685 yards through 14 games which is less than 50 a game and they are in the bottom third in rushing. The Offensive line needs to protct Rogers back to keep him up right and the defense needs to make life miserable for Eli and get him to throw interceptions to shorten the field and keep the home crowd on their side.
Who I think will win the game:
Until Rogers comes out and is able to play his game his way again i.e. throw the ball around the field for lots of yardage after having a concussion only 2 weeks ago I will have to say the Giants will win this game and make the playoffs this season and the run game in a cold stadium will not hurt at all.
Enjoy the games

Christmas day football, Devils fire their coach, and thoughts about Christmas
Dallas Cowboys Vs Arizona Cardinals
I guess the NFL was banking on the Cowboys to be leading the NFC East or just fighting for a playoff positon and before the season started the Cowboys were one of the favourites to be challenge for a superbowl appearance @ home in brand new Cowboys Stadium. The Cardinals have been what is to be expected from them which was that they had nobody to throw the ball to Larry Fitzgerald and the first contestant matt leinart got cut before the regular season started and went with Derek Anderson who still not get the ball to Fitzgerald. So all those retired oil moguls that are in Arizona and fill the seats every year when the Cowboys come to town will be happy because the Cowboys under Chan Gaily will take the Cardinals to the woodshad and the game will be down by half-time.
The Devils fired John Maclean two days before Christmas and this is the same person Lou Lamoriello who fired the head coach in the past 3 games before the end of the regular season when they were one of the top teams going into the playoff so this behaviour not surprising to me. Also the battle with the NHL this past summer over the Ilya Kovalchuk contract that handcuffed the Devils so much that they played one of their first games this season with 15 skaters and have put the team in last place in the Eastern Conference after the team they were tied with the New York Islanders took them out back and messed them up really good with a 5-1 win.
I do not think they will make the playoffs but probally be a bit better with their new head coach Jacques Lemaire but in the end if you are the Devils being one of the worst teams in the NHL and get a high draft pick would not be a bad thing.
Christmas is about being thankful for the people around you and not the gifts you get and to spend some quality time with the ones you love is the best gift that anyone can have during the holiday season because there will always be someone that is struggling more than you and have way less than you but are still happy. If you do like to shop you can join the big mob at the local mall the day after Christmas and try to find those great deals and if you do please be very careful because the holiday spirit in most is finished after Christmas day and are out only for themselves again so someone may get hurt out there.
Merry Merry Merry Holidays no matter what u celbrate

NFL Thursday Nighter - Panthers Vs Steelers
NFL Thursday Nighter - Panthers Vs Steelers
Plot: If Steelers win their last 2 games they get the # 2 seed in the AFC and that the Steelers are resting a bunch of their players especially Troy Polamalu.
How Can the Steelers win: Big Ben will be handing off a lot to Rashard Menden because the Panthers run defense (126.2/per game) is one of the worest in the NFL and if the Psnthers can stop the run then Big Ben will to try and strech the field through the air aganist one of the lowest passing defense. The Steelers have one of the best rush defense (63.4/per game) so they will pin their ears back and head straight for either Panther QB Jimmy Clausen and/or Matt Moore and make it hard to go deep because he may not have enough time.
How Can the Panthers win: The way the Panthers can win this game is by getting lucky and having the Steelers cough up the ball and giving the Panthers easy points (defensive TD) and that the Steelers think a head to the holidays with their family and over look the Panthers. The running combo get some good yardage on the ground (Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson) and Steve Smith goes off for a really good game under national media.
Who I think will win: The Pittsburgh Steelers are a vetern team that have been in these situations many times over the years and under Mike Tomlin the Steelers are 6-1 @ home aganist the NFC and the Steelers maybe able to just run the ball down the Panthers throat. The Steelers have given up the fewest points this season so I do not think they will give up a lot to the Panthers low scoring offense and it could be over by the end of the first quarter so I do not know what the NFL was thinking putting the Panthers on National TV as they were not looking like a good team before the season when this decision was made.
Having fun last minute shopping

Sid the kid point streak
It looks like sidney Crosby woke up one day and looked at the point leaders and saw that second year player Steven Stamkos was running away with it early. Then Sidney Crosby started his point steak which is now @ 21 games with 21 goals and 21 assists for 42 points over this point streak with 2 hats, 5 multi-goal games, 14 multi-assists games. During the streak the Pittsburgh Penquins went on a 12-game winning streak and Sidney Crosby carried the team and a point in every game the Penquins since November 5Th which is over a month and a half and if it lasts til New Years day and the outdoor classic it would be an even bigger story as it is the one hockey game the Americans watch ever year.
The record is Wayne Gretzky's 51 game point streak (61G-92A-153P) and these totals would be an all world season and he put up all these points in 51 games and had 52 in his last 23 games in the 1983-84 season and Crosby would need 10 points in his next 2 games to match these totals.
I think Crosby is on a really great point streak but looking at the Gretzky's point streak it quite noticable that in the last quarter of a century the style of hockey has gone from a wide open game to a much more defensive game and in the end I beleave that nobody will come close to matching Gretzky streak until hockey goes back wide open hockey style.

Monday Night Football - Chicago Bear Vs Minnesota Vikings and Zack Grinkie
Monday Night Football - Chicago Bear Vs Minnesota Vikings
Plot: Bears win and their in the playoff and that much closer to winning the NFC North and the Vikings are playing their first outdoor home game in 29 years.
How the Vikings could win the game:
The Vikings could win this game if Adrian Peterson goes off on the snowy cold field and no matter if Bret play or not the quarterback will need to do enough to move the chain. Also they need to pressure Jay Cutler as he has been sack 43 times this season and the run game has average 98 years a game and if it is snowy and a run game the Bears maybe stuffed the Vikings front four.
How the Bears could win the game:
The Bears will need to stop Adrian Peterson and have Matt Forte have a good running game to keep the pressure off Kay Cutler and allow him to stretch the defense through the air and have the Bears defense come up big and get some big turnovers to shorten the field. While getting help on kickoff from Danieal Manning averaging 26 yards a return and get some charge the field punt returns.
Who I beleave will win:
The Vikings are a mess and to have Bret trying to take the headlines can not help the team getting focused for what is one of those play well so I can still have a job next season kind of game. So with the Bears have everything to play for they will come out and get dirty for the win which I can not say for the Vikings at this point in time and the field will be a new experience for everybody involved so I think the Bears are going to win the game and it could be a double digit win.
Zack Greinke going to Milwaukee Brewers will be better for his shakey confidence/depression problems of the past to not reappear which would of been hard in New York New York. With the run production of the Brewers and being in a different league will help him be more like the pitcher with the ERA of 2.16 (16-8 in 2009) than the 4.17 ERA (10-13 in 2010) because he knew that he would almost have to be perfect to win the game because the Royals would only give a run or 2 support. He may not be as good as the Phillies pitchers but he should be good enough for atleast 15 wins this up coming season because he will not have as much pressure on him eventhough he will to expected to get the Brewers back to the playoffs.
See U Tomorrow

WWE TLC and NFL key games to keep a eye on Sunday
WWE TLC - December 19,2010
Divas Champion Natalya & Beth Phoenix vs. Team Lay-Cool (Divas Tag Team Tables Match)
Natalya & Beth Phoenix will win the match because Phoenix is not ready to turn on Natalya and Layla will be the one to go through the table and it will be a quick match. I think thar someone will be legitmently hurt just watch last weeks match between Mickie James Vs Tara in a steal cage match where Tara distroyed her arm.
John Morrison vs. Sheamus (Ladder Match)
This match will have some good high spots especially from John Morrison and Sheamus will win the match to keep him strong for when Thriple H comes back faud with Sheamus and it will be a good match because the high spots will make the match.
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger (Triple Threat Ladder Match)
Jack Swagger will be the new IC champion and it will bring great promos and will bring a little bit of life back to the IC title and with Kofi the only flyer of the three and none of them being great wrestlers it maybe a train wreck.
John Cena vs. Wade Barrett (Chairs Match)
I have no idea what a chair match involves I guess it means the only wapon someone can use with the Ref looking is a chair and then it is wrestling match besides being able to use a chair. John Cena will win the match and will end the Cena/Nexus feud but will heat up the Barrett/Otonga feud that will bring the end of Nexus as we know it and it is going to be a not so good match as it is more about the story lines and neither is a great wresler.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match)
Two story lines put into a single match as Rey wants to get even with Alberto Del Rio and Kane wants to get even with Edge for "killing" his father and Edge wants to get the title back. Del Rio and Rey are probably fight to the back at some point and then Edge will be able to sneak in and steal the title he has done on a few occasions and with Rey and Edge in the match they will carry the match and it should be a good match because of them in the match.
WWE Champion The Miz vs. Randy Orton (Tables Match)
Randy Orton will take a skull crushing fanally through the table and Miz will be the only Champ to keep his title (Natalya title is not on the line) with some help from his student Alex Reily and maybe even the brief case when the Ref is distracted and the story will be good and the match should also be good.
Key NFL games on Sunday
Green Bay Packers Vs New England Patriots
The Packers with or without Arron Rogers (doubtful) will not end Brady's home winning steak at 26 because I feel that Tom Brady and the Patriots are too good for the Packers especially with all those injuries pilling up for the Packers and I do not see the Patriots looking past the Packers which would be the only way the Packers win Sunday.
Philadelphia Engles Vs New York Giants
With a few bad weeks in a row for the Engles in a row will Michael Vick be able to take down the Giants and I beleive that the Giants will be able to pressure Vick and he may have another interception this sunday at the New Giants Stadium. With Eli will be able to throw aganist the Engles defense and if not they still have a better running back combo than the Engles and they will want to repay the Engles for beating the Giants in Philly a month a go.
New Oreleans Saint Vs Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens Defense may give Drew Brees a lot of pressure and it may be time for the Saints (6 game winning streak) to lose a game and Baltimore is probably not going to be nice sunny weather and the Saints have the majority of their games indoors (Atlanta also has a dome). For the Ravens Flacco does not need to do a lot to win the game because the Ravens Defense will not give up a lot of points so the key for him is to not force throws which could creat turnovers.
Jacksonville Jaguars Vs Indianapolis Colts
The winner of this game will be in the drivers seat with 2 games remending in the regular season and if your the Jags you will be hoping to run the ball at will and keep the ball out of Payton Manning's hands going a run defense that has giving up huge yards on the ground in the Colts. Payton will continue to air out the ball but he showed last Thursday that he can hand the ball off to his backs and will probably try to continue that early in the game and most importantly the Colts have been in a # of pressure game and are at home and the Jags have not and are on the road so I will say "the Colts will win and be in the plsyoffs this season".
Enjoy all the games and entertainment you can handle on Sunday it is going to be good

Thursday Nighter, The Leafs, and 24/7
Thursday Nighter - Niners Vs Chargers
From the unwanted files to the welcome back status comes Vincent Jackson, a widereceiver for the Chargers who held out half the season and then the team put a 3 game suspendion on him which meant he got back on the football feild a couple of weeks a go and last night he went off pulling in 3 TDs for the Chargers. Jackson had 112 yards receiving while the Niners as a offense could only mustar up 192 all game in getting beat down by the Chargers 34-7 while Phillip Rivers (19 of 25 for 273 years) was got the job done and the Chargers are now 8-6 and if the Chiefs lose on Sunday the Chargers will have a share of first in the AFC West.
The Leafs gave up 3 goals to the Calgary Flames in 57 seconds near the end of the second period to make it 4-1 on their way to a 5-2 victory and Jean-Sebastien Giguere gave up goals to Alex Tanguay, Olli Jokinen, and Rene Bourque and was taking out after 40 minutes. This performance by the Leafs almost wipes out the great game they had aganist the Oilers 4-1 a couple of nights before and passed the Oilers in the standings but last night the Oilers had a win to pass the Leafs in the standings again.
Bruce Boudreau had a lot saltery lanuage and stole the spot light from the players with a rant in a second period intermission where he used the F word like 15 times in 80 seconds and I hope the players are able to show their personalities like Maxim Talibot (Penquins) and Alex Ovechkin (Capitals) who have great personalities
Thanks

Thursday Nighter, Sid the kid, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cliff Lee
Thursday Night Football - Niners Vs Chargers
Why the Niners will win the game - Alex Smith had a great gsme last week and the Niners started 0-5 and since they are 5-3 and have been doing what it takes to win games (turnovers/shorted field, no turnovers yourself, Alex Smith moving the chains, and getting enough of a run game) and Niners are in the middle of the pack in tackling.
Why the Chargers will win the game - Phillip Rivers has had a great season so far (passing % 65.5, 24 TDs, 10 interceptions, and 3642 passing yards) and if the Chargers win it will going to be because Rivers has a good game as they do not have a real running game this year and the defense is not a strong point this season as they are in the second worst in the league in tackling but have 10 more sacks (38-28).
Who I think will win - Both teams have 13 ints and have a poor record aganist the other conference (Chargers 1-2 and Niners 2-1) so I beleave that Rivers and the Chargers (5-2 @ home) will do enough to win the game aganist the Niners (1-5 on the road) but it may be a lot closer than most 7-6 (Chargers) and 5-8 (Niners) match-ups.
Sid the kid had 2 assists in the Pittsburgh Penquins loss to Philadelphia Flyers and ended their 12-game winning streak
Pittsburgh Pirates who have been torched because it was found out that they made money and that their average salary is 1.1 mil but now the Pirates went out and signed Lyle Overbay for 5 mil and that like any other team paying him 10 mil. Lyle Overbay is not that good and if he is going to be the face of the team it may not be a very good choice for most teams but worst for the Pirates who do not sell out their games.
Cliff Lee left 50 mil on the table when he stuck up his noise to the New York Yankees as he decided to re-up with the Philadelphia Phillies for 5 years - 100 milion dollars and I hear that the main reason is because his son is sick and him and his family wanted to be close to a good children's hospital. Also others are thinking that if it was not for Yankees fans says discouraging words towards his wife during the ALCS that he would be a Yankee next year and I feel that going to Philly could make him and his fellow pitchers like Roy Oswalt and Roy Halladay becomes legendary pitching rotation.

Perez Hilton is what wrong with world and Lions fans getting a reward for decades of trouble teams
Perez Hilton to get some pub he said he would not say anything bad about anyone on PerezHilton.com because of a anti-bullying campaign and now it turns out that he has another blog under unratedPerezHilton.com and that is where he puts his ranchy stuff so he can keep his ranchy crowd and keep the advertising money coming.
Detroit Lions fans can go to Ford field and watch the Giants/Vikings game for free as the game has been moved from Minnesota to Detroit and it maybe the best matchup they have seen in quite a few years and more talent on the field in atleast a decade.
Andy Fantuz of the Saskatchenwan Roughriders (CFL) will be having a tryout with both Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings of the NFL this week. If he gets signed by either team I would like to wish him the best of luck and to thsnk for a great number of outstanding seasons with my favourite football team (Saskatchenwan Roughriders).
Thanks you for reading

2 monday nighter
There are 2 Monday Nighter this week
Game 1 - New York Giants Vs. Minnestoa Vikings
Plot - Just like the Minnestoa Vikings crumbled under the pressure of getting Brett Farve back to quarterback them the metrodome crumbled under the pressure of snow on the roof. Also will Brett play in the game and I'm thinking its a 50/50 shoot and will Giants keep on their winning ways and stay in the race for the divison title.
How can the Vikings win the game - If Farve does not play then Adrian Peterson will be the work horse and Jackson can move the chain when needed and the defense gets turnovers and shorten the field for the offense and with an average of 127 yards rushing a game.
How can the Giants win the game - The Giants are the better team having scored a touchdown more on offensive and 15 yards more a game rushing and 31 yards more throw the air than Vikings and Eli Manning needs to control the offense by mixing up between passing and running games and take the crowd out of the game if they are that excited because the Vikings have nothing to win after being a NFC championship game contender at the beginning of the season.
Who do I think will win - The Giants are too talented and have way more to loss if they do not show up and the offense just needs to mix it up to move the chains and Manning needs to be better than whoever is QBing the Vikings.
Game 2 - Baltimore Ravens Vs Houston Texans
Plot - Ravens need to keep pace with the Steelers and to get back on the winning track again and can Joe Flacco win on the road or can the Texans find a way to get enough points on the amazing Ravens defense.
How can the Ravens win the game - It is simply Flacco does enough to move the chains after Rice and McGahee runs the ball Flacco will be able to psss the ball on third and short or medium and Flacco may want to try to throw deep as while and the defense can stop the run (average 98 y/g) and Matt Schaub may have pressure of the Ravens defense on him all game long.
How can the Texans win the game - What the Texans have on their side is they have the best Running back in the NFL this season (Arian Foster with a 102.5 average per game) and Matt Schaub has a 100 yards and 2 TDs more than Joe Flacco but their defense needs to man up because it is so much worse than the Ravens.
Who I think will win - The Ravens are more talented than the Texans and the Ravens could eat up Schaub for desert with all their pressure and if they can get a lead the pressure will get even more tough to handle especially if they can stop Arian Foster on the ground.
Enjoy the game u get because they are playing at the same time atleast after 8:30 after the Giants Vs Vikings first quarter
Tom Mehegan
Game 1 - New York Giants Vs. Minnestoa Vikings
Plot - Just like the Minnestoa Vikings crumbled under the pressure of getting Brett Farve back to quarterback them the metrodome crumbled under the pressure of snow on the roof. Also will Brett play in the game and I'm thinking its a 50/50 shoot and will Giants keep on their winning ways and stay in the race for the divison title.
How can the Vikings win the game - If Farve does not play then Adrian Peterson will be the work horse and Jackson can move the chain when needed and the defense gets turnovers and shorten the field for the offense and with an average of 127 yards rushing a game.
How can the Giants win the game - The Giants are the better team having scored a touchdown more on offensive and 15 yards more a game rushing and 31 yards more throw the air than Vikings and Eli Manning needs to control the offense by mixing up between passing and running games and take the crowd out of the game if they are that excited because the Vikings have nothing to win after being a NFC championship game contender at the beginning of the season.
Who do I think will win - The Giants are too talented and have way more to loss if they do not show up and the offense just needs to mix it up to move the chains and Manning needs to be better than whoever is QBing the Vikings.
Game 2 - Baltimore Ravens Vs Houston Texans
Plot - Ravens need to keep pace with the Steelers and to get back on the winning track again and can Joe Flacco win on the road or can the Texans find a way to get enough points on the amazing Ravens defense.

UFC 124 - Hero Vs Villain
George St. Pierre Vs Josh Koscheck
George St. Pierre was on offense and Josh Koscheck was on defense all 5 rounds and he threw gabs at Koscheck's right eye and sent leg kicks to Koscheck's left leg and St. Pierre could not keep Koscheck down on the mat because as soon he went down he would get up immediately. This is the only thing St. Pierre could not do during the match and Koscheck blocked a lot of takedown from St. Pierre and by the third round Koscheck's right eye was closed and the doctor came in and the announcers were horrified that the match could have been stopped by the doctor. St. Pierre won the unanimous decision over Koscheck (50-45) and St. Pierre thanks Koscheck for all promos to set-up the match and for showing up in Montreal.
Thiago Alves had a great game plan aganist John Howard and controled the whole match and won a unanimous decision (30-27) and Mac Danzig with one counter-punched knoucked out Joe Stevenson at 1:54 of the first round. Jim Miller vs. Charles Oliveira went back and force until Jim Miller hocked on a leg lock on Charles Oliveira who tapped out and Sean McCorkle controlled the match until Stefan Struve got the advantage and finished off Sean McCorkle at 3:55 of the first round.
I feel that with all the action with thing like one punch finishing a match and St. Pierre domonence over Koscheck was very good and the extremmely excited for the finishes of the matches and going crazy for St. Pierre all match made it a very good card and Dana White should be very happy.
Thanks

NFL Thursday Nighter - Colts are staying alive
Thursday nighter - Colt Vs Titans
The Colts controlled the majority of the first half with Dwight Freeney causing a fumble by Titans's Kenny Britt and covered colts's Tyjuan Hagler and Payton Manning goes down and scores with help from a 50-yard catch by Reggie Wayne. Then the Titans had the ball go over the punter's head and he has to cover it and 2 plays later Pierre Garcon catches a TD pass from Manning and then the Titans get the ball on their own 45 and then Nate Washington catches a 21-yard pass from Kerry Collins and then Collins passes to Chris Johnson who runs for 25 yards and then runs in the first Titans offensive TD in 14 quarters. The Colts were up 21-7 going into the second half and Randy Moss sat most of the first half with his fur coat on and sitting with the kicker and got a big cheer when he did get on the feild. The Titans got a big run by Chris Johnson for 20 yards and a 18 yard catch by Kenny Britt to make a 7-yard TD pass to Craig Stevens possible to make it 21-14. Then a Reggie Wayne 46 yard catch set-up a 21-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri and it was followed by a strong drive by Manning including some runs including a 4 and 4 and Javarris James ran for 11 yards to set-up another Adam Vinatieri field goal this one 28 yards to make it 27-14. Then Chris Johnson's 37 yard run helped set-up a Bo Scaife 4 yard TD catch to make it 27-21 and then a Colts 3 and out and a Titans 3 and out and then finally goes deep to Pierre Garcon for 47-yard on the second play from the line scrimmage to set-up a Adam Vinatieri 47 yard dagger to go up 9 points 30-27. Then the Titans misused the clock by not getting out of bounds to stop the clock and had short plays take way to long but on the final play of the game Collins throws his 200th career TD to Bo Scaife and the Colts break their 3-game losing streak and the Titans extended their to 6-games with a Colt 30-28 victory.
Payton Manning tied the record with his 63Rd 300-yard game and tied Dan Marino and he used his running game more (32 for 87 yards) and did not have an interception after have 11 in the past 3 games and had 3 huge plays of over 40-yards in the game to keep their divison title hope alive now being 7-6. While Kerry Collins had 3 TDs and Chris Johnson had a big run and a big catch and Bo Scaife had 2 TD catches and Randy Moss had no catches and was not used a lot and looked like he was already on the outs with his team-mates because when the offensive players got together to try and straight out the offense he was not apart of it.
Colts still alive,

Thursday Nighter - Colts Vs Titans
Thursday Night Football
Colts - Payton Manning is less than human and his Colts (6-6) are having problems winning games and in the last 3 games which were all losses and Payton Manning has 11 interceptions over these 3 games. The major problem is that they have a lot of injuries so that Reggie Wayne is the only the receiver Manning really can throw to and they do not have a real running game since Joseph Addai got hurt and Payton Manning is leading the league in passing with 3709 yards and has thrown 15 interceptions this season.
Titans - They have lost 5 straight games after a 5-2 start to the season leading the division and then Vince Young and Jeff Fisher getting into a heated agruement on the sidelineand Randy Moss is not having the impact on the team so far. Chris Johnson has 1026 yards this season and has averaged 85.5 yards a game and that is way down from last year (2006 yards, 125.4 a game) and has 6 100+ games compared to 12 last year.
The Winner is - The Colts will in because Manning will find a way to win the game as he is very competitive player and this is a huge huge game for them and with Young and Fisher are feuding and the team is self destructon bit by bit and Chris Johnson is being keyed on the whole game. The Titans will win only if CJ goes off and runs all over the Colts defense that has giving up 82.6 (fourth lowest average) and the QB does not lose the game for them by throwing interception and Manning throws interceptions that are run back for TDs.
Enjoy the Game

Pat Gillick is headed to Hall Of Fame and Tom Cheek maybe next and UFC 131
Pat Gillick is heading to the basball hall of fame and Tom Cheek has a chance to join him this year as he is up for Ford C. Frick Award that goes to a baseball announcer and the winner is put into the baseball hall of fame.
The city that UFC 131 is going to be held was announced today and finally the UFC will come to the Roger Center in Toronto, Ontario on Staurday April 30Th, 2011. It maybe the biggest attendence figure in Martial arts but not likely not going to happen because UFC will not want to sell the 500 level as the fans in the 500 level would not be able to see The Octagon but they will diffently have atleast 40,000 fans and the biggest gate which will be atleast 10 million.
The Monday nighter the New England Patriots domonated the New York Jets especially in the first half of the game and the second half was nothing while Tom Brady set the record for the most consecative home wins.
Thank You

NFL Monday nighter - New York Jets Vs New England Patriots
NFL Monday nighter - New York Jets Vs New England Patriots
The plot - The Jets & the Patriots are both 9 - 2 and have the best record in the NFL so the winner will be on top of the NFL and have the advantage to win the AFC East.
Which record will be broken - Tom Brady has won his last 25 games at home and if he wins tonight he will pass Brett Farve for the most wins in a row at home. The Jets if they win they will set a francise record with 8 straight road victories.
The Keys for Patriots - Tom Brady will have to use his magic and bill Blichick will have to come up with great ideas to get the move the chains. Also the defense will have to find was to mess with Mark Sanchez by creating turnovers and shorting the field.
The Keys for Jets - Mark Sanchez needs to stay out of turnover trouble and then have some more late game magic and LaDainian Tomlinson will need to run all over the Pats defense. Darrelle Revis needs to shut down Wes Welker and make Brady key on other receivers.
Who I beleave will win the game - Pats should win the game because Brady is a great quarter back and he should do enough to break Farve's record and Bill Blichick should come up with a game plan to win a close game and the Pats should win the AFC East.
Enjoy The Game

NFL week 13 key match-ups - Steelers-Ravens & Falcons-Bucs
Pittsburgh Steelers Vs Baltimore Ravens
The biggest question in the game will be if Ben Roethlisberger plays and I
beleave that he will play in the Sunday Nighter. The game will be a very
big defensive battle and with the Ravens at home they should win a very
close nail-bitten game. The key to Raven's victory will be the Raven
defense that should be able to get into Roethlisberger's face and disrupt
his timing especially with his bad wheel Ben will not be able to get away
from the pressure and Joe Flacco should be able to do enough for his
Ravens to win the game as he plays way better at home. The Ravens are 5-0
at home and the Steelers are 5-1 on the road so if the Steelers are going
to win they will need to use their pressure defense to sack Flacco as they
have a 30-19 advantage in sacks over the Ravens and they have given up 7
less points than the Ravens defense and the Steelers have also scored 4
more points.
Atlanta Falcons Vs Tampa Bay Bucs
The Falcons are 3-2 on the road and the Bucs are 3-2 on the road and the
Falcons have scored way more points than the Bucs (+57) and on defense too
(+14) and the Falcons are 2-0 Vs the divison and the Bucs are 2-2. The
Falcons are usually made or broken by the play Matt Ryan who plays a lot
better at home than on the road so it may be a little tougher to handle
the Bucs but I beleave that he will get the job down and help win the game
for the Falcons. Ryan has not thrown an interception in his last four
games but the Bucs also have a +8 turnover ratio and Ryan should complete
passes and move the chain to win a close game. Ryan could also win the
game for the Bucs too because if the Bucs have a chance to win the game
late in the fourth quarter it will be because Ryan turned over the ball
and shorten the field and the Bucs also need to get breaks like
interceptions,fumbles, bad kicks, and great returns by their punt/kickoff
returners.

Lebron's return, the Thursday nighter, and Jetter
In Cleveland the crowd was rocking like a playoff game and Lebron got booed everytime he touched the ball and when he went to the free throw line he heard things like " Akron hates u" and loud cheers when he missed a shot. Then the Heat went on a 16-0 run open a 11-point lead and the crowd died down a bit but they got back into it when the Cavs got it to 5 and in the third quarter Lebron scored 24 points and the crowd ended up being depressed and the Heat just clocked them 118-90. The Cavs gave LBJ all he could handle but tonight it did not effect his play as they won in a laugher going into the paint for easy buckets and sharing the ball a lot.
The Thursday nighter in the NFL was a good game in the middle with the Texans taking a 24-20 lead in the third quarter but the Engles put up 14 in the fourth to win 34-24 and the big play was a stretch by Brent Celek of the Engles at the 5 yard line that was challenged by the Engles and they ended up getting the first down and continuing a 6-minute drive that end with a touchdown pass from Micheal Vick to Owen Schmitt with 4:23 left in the fourth and the Texans down 10 points and ended the game. Vick ended the game for the Engles with 22 for 33 through the air with 302 yards and 2 TDs and 1 int along with 10 carries for 48 yards on the ground with a rushing TD to give him another good game but could of been better if the Engles were able to get TDs instead of FGs in the first half with Brent Celek dropping a wide open TD catch. Matt Schaub also had a good game with 23 for 37 for 337 yards and 2 TDs through the air along with an int near the end of the second quarter that gave the Engles an extra 3-points going into half.
Derek Jeter will probably re-sign with the New York Yankees because Jeter is smart enough to realize that he would be losing a lot if he left New York especially in popularity and the only team who would set up to the plate and give him a huge deal is the Boston Red Soxs who would only want to rubb it in the Yankees face and the Yankees would not let this happen.
Finally the Toronto Maple Leafs might be up for sale as Rogers communication ( 1 of the top 2 communication companies in Canada) might be interest in buying the Leafs and Raptors (combo pack) to go a long with the Blue Jays which they already own. The big question is will a charge in ownership help better the team as they just got schooled by the worst team in the NHL (Edmonton Oilers) on their own ice 5-0.
I hope you enjoy

NBA Lebron Vs the Cavs, NFL Thursday nighter, and hockey's Jim Kelly
Lebron James is going back to face his former team the Cavs and the fans in Cleveland are very hateful towards Lebron and Thursday the security will be juiced up a lot for the game because Lebron maybe a target and Cavs management want to protect their lnterests and not get a lawsuit. It will be the biggest boo fest in years if not of all time and Lebron will not do will in the game and the Cavs may even win the game and more hate towards Lebron James the better because he was very jerky this past summer towards the Cavs francise and the fan base. The TV special where Lebron James decided to go to Miami instead of staying in Cleveland and being a legendary figure for years.
The Thursday nighter this week will be lnteresting as Micheal Vick and the Philadelphia Engles is coming off a loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and they are going to be playing aganist the Houston Texans who had shut down and shutout the Tennesee Titans on Sunday as well. Micheal Vick will have a great game and the Engles will have a great game at home and will distroy the Texans and the game maybe over by halftime.
Finally in memories of Jim Kelly (the hockey guy) I would like to remember his biggest feud which was shouting and shoving match with Dominik Hašek in the hallway at a hockey arena after game 5 between Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators. Jim Kelly went to Dominik Hašek to ask for an interview and Hašek attacked him for writing about Hašek's conflicts with then his head coach Ted Nolan with the Buffalo Sabres and Hašek received a 3 game suspension and a $10,000 (US) fine from the NHL. The part I remember the most is watching TV after the game and just coming across the incident on Buffalo TV and just watch them yell and scream at each other with a bunch of people between them.
Thanks Jim for the memory
