THE DISSAPOINTMENT OF THE COWBOYS

It never fails does it? Everytime Dallas fans believe Tony Romo is going to come up big...... he manages to prove us wrong and shatter every aspiration we have. This has been his modus operandi (MO) ever since he became a Dallas Cowboy. I would go into all his mistakes and mishaps, but I don't believe there are enough characters to type with. Yesterday Romo threw three interceptions, one late in the fourth quarter. If he hadn't thrown that pick, the Cowboys could have possibly went into OT or won the game. Instead the Cowboys are not going to playoffs for the third consectutive year. It's really pathetic especially with all that talent surrounding him. Romo just cant come up big in crunchtime, or in the big games. It's long overdue (about four years overdue) its time for Romo to be traded or released. Who's the future quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys? If I had my way I'd trade for Tim Tebow. Tebow in Dallas uniform, nothing would be better. He's marketable, extremely popular, clutch, and knows how to win. Why not pick him up? He led a struggling Broncos team to the playoffs, on top of that he made a clutch game winning TD in OT to defeat the Steelers. Tebow had numerous game winning drives with the Broncos, which started the "Tebowmania", "Tebow Time", and "Tebowing" phenomena. If Tebow isn't acquired Kyle Orton is a solid starting quarterback, who I believe can lead the Cowboys to the playoffs. Alex Smith is another option, Smith is easily a Top 10 quarterback who possibly would've have jumped into elite status had he not been benched by Harbaugh. No matter who the Cowboys quarterback is for the 2013 season, Tony Romo should not be in the backfield.

JACK TAYLOR

Who said D1 schools have the best scorers in the NCAA? Grinnel College keeps proving that statement untrue. Jack Taylor, a 5'10 sophmore guard, scored a whopping 138 points. He went 52-108 from the field; Taylor was 25-37 from 2 point range, 27-71 from beyond the arc, and he nailed 7-10 free throws. Taylor has set a scoring record for all NCAA divisions. He annihilated two previous scoring records set by Frank Selvy (100 pts vs. Newberry:PLAYED FOR Furman:D1) and Clarence "Bevo" Francis (113 pts vs. Hillsdale: PLAYED FOR Rio Grande:D2) in 1954. The Grinnell Pioneers dominated Faith Bapist Bible 179-104. Taylor attempted 108 out of 136 team field goals. Coach David Arseneault is known for his up tempo style of play called "The System". "The System" incorporates an all game full court press, focus on offensive rebounding, a plethora of three point shots, and regular subsitutions (he subs 5 new players every 2 minutes). Last season Griffin Lentsch, Taylor's senior teammate scored 89 points, and set a new D3 scoring record. Taylor was averaging 23.5 ppg in only 13.5 mpg, after yesterday's game he's avering 61.7 ppg through 3 games played.

Lakers hire Mike D'Antoni

On Sunday night, early Monday morning, The LA Lakers hired former Coach Of The Year Mike D'Antoni. D'Antoni signed a $12M/4yr deal with Tinseltown's team. Communication with Phil Jackson broke down due to his seemlingly outlandish demands ( $10-15M a year, major clout in personnel choices, choosing his successor, and skipping selected road games). Obviously that's a lot to ask for even for Phil Jackson. Now that the Lakers have their coaching situation in tact, how will the rest of the season play out for them? I believe that Lakers will flourish under Mike D'Antoni. D'Antoni has a great relationship with Steve Nash; Nash knows how to run a D'Antoni offense. Their offense will be fast paced, high octane, pick n roll oriented, and fun to watch. Dwight will thrive in the pick n roll with Nash, which will free up Kobe for open shots due to the threat of Nash's unparalleled pick n roll ability. A plethora of critics, including myself, know that D'Antoni isn't a defensive minded coach; However according to ESPN D'Antoni's teams have solid defensive stats. Although that is true none of D'Antoni's previous teams had the best low post defender in the NBA, in their starting lineup. Dwight will improve D'Antoni's solid defensive stats, and transform them into great defensive stats. The Lakers currently are on the right track again; They've won two straight games, and have hired a new coach. I'm dubbing these new look Lakers "Showtime Pt. 2". Things are looking up in Hollywood. NUFF SAID.

Mike Brown FIRED!

Yesterday, Lakers coach Mike Brown was terminated from his head coaching position. Mike Brown compiled a record 42-29 while with the Lakers. This season the Lakers were expected to win the Western Conference, but seemingly can't get it together. Brown seemingly never had an offensive system in place; Brown's predecessor Phil Jackson who implemented the Triangle Offense, enabled the Lakers to flourish without a true point guard. Mike D'Antoni and Phil Jackson are the top 2 candidates for the job. D'Antoni is known for his "7 second offense", and high scoring games. In his stint with the Suns the team stayed among the top 10 in PPG, and top 10 in other offensive categories. However, defense is not his fortay; Dwight would control the defense, allow the offense to score in transition, and thrive in the pick n roll with Steve Nash. Phil Jackson is Phil Jackson, need I say more? The only concern with Phil is his health. Can he deal with 82 game grind of the NBA season, plus a predicted deep playoff run? I believe Phil Jackson should be rehired, simply because he's Phil Jackson. NUFF SAID

THE NBA IS BACK!!!!

Welcome to 2012-2013 NBA season! This season promises to top the previous 2 seasons with relative ease. What better way to start this season than with Heat vs Celtics! There is a plethora of bad blood between these two teams. The Heat have ousted the Celtics from the playoffs two years in a row. On top of that future Hall Of Famer Ray Allen joined the Heat this offseason; he's been involved in a highly publicized beef with former teammate Kevin Garnett.  These two teams are going to be extremely determined to defeat each other. Fans should expect a gritty, tough, and defensive minded
game. All in all the Heat will win in a close one 90-85. The second game on the marquee is the Lakers vs Mavericks. The new look Lakers are geared up, and ready to prove their dominance in the West. Unfortunately for the Mavs Dirk Nowitski is 6-8 weeks due to knee surgery, Chris Kaman is also out with a strained right calf. The Lakers will win this game convincingly 100-80. NUFF SAID.

James Harden to Houston

2012 Sixth Man Of The Year James Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder recieved Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, and 2 first round draft picks. The Houston Rockets recieved James Harden, Cole Aldrich, and Daquean Cook. Harden was intially offered $52M/4yrs. He declined that offer and the Thunder upped the ante a little more by offering Harden $55.5M/4yrs. When he declined that offer Sam Presti knew he had to make a trade that was beneficial to both sides. I feel that their is no winner or loser in this deal. The Thunder recieved Kevin Martin, a proven scorer who can easily score 20 ppg. Jeremy Lamb was also a good pickup, Lamb is also a good scorer, averaging 20 ppg in the NBA Summer League. The Rockets recieve James Harden, who will make an immediate impact on the team. Harden is good scorer, passer, and defender. The possibility of Harden having a breakout season, and joining the NBA's elite superstars is very strong. However the flipside of this is what if Harden doesn't produce as a starter (assuming he starts in Houston)? Maybe  Harden can only play at a high level in 25-28 minutes off the bench. Maybe he'll score 25 ppg as a starter, we'll have to wait and see during the season. The Rockets backcourt is going to be one of the  most exciting backcourts in the league, espcially with Jeremy Lin at the reigns. The Thunder will miss Harden, but they've acquired 2 guys who fill his role nicely.The Rockets are now a playoff team, with a very bright future. NUFF SAID.

COWBOYS MUST TURN THEIR SEASON AROUND!

After his abyssmal 5 interception performance against the Bears, Tony Romo must turn the Cowboys season around RIGHT NOW! Jerry Jones is the team's problem, however he wouldn't be a problem if Romo was playing at a high level   ( ala Troy Aikman who lead the Cowboys to 3 Superbowl titles under Jerry Jones). Romo has the weapons, guys such as Dez, Miles, Ogletree, Witten, Felix Jones, and DeMarco Murray are more than capable of generating points. Romo must LEAD the team for the Cowboys to be successful. He must guide HIS offense, which is the worst offense in the NFL averaging 16.3 ppg. It's all on Romo, if he wants to join Eli, Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, and Brees in the ELITE QB class he MUST turn this season around, and come up big in crunchtime. If he really aspires to be an ELITE QB he must lead the Cowboys to a Superbowl victory. If he can't step up Kyle Orton should be the Cowboys new starting QB. Nuff Said.

Brooklyn Nets: OVERHYPED

I don't mean any harm, but the Nets are a little overhyped. Yes the team has D-Will, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, and Brook Lopez. The Nets also have Kim Kardashian's ex husband Kris Humphries (who's a 10 and 10 guy). A boisterous Russian owner Mikhail Prokohov and New York royalty Jay-Z also are apart of this new franchise. The Barclays Center, which Jay-Z rocked recently, is a beautiful stadium. The team possesses a former Coach Of The Year in Avery Johnson, who is more than capable of coaching a championship contender. With all of these pros and seemingly no cons, there is one problem. The Brooklyn Nets HAVE NOT PLAYED A NBA GAME (I'm not counting the preseason games). In 2011 the Miami Heat were in the same situation, overhyped and unproven. Through their first 17 games the Heat were a dissapointing 9-8. However they turned it around by having the second best record in the Eastern conference. Another thing the Nets must develop is chemistry. Miami had chemistry issues early on, but patched them up as the season progressed. The Nets look good on paper, but let's see how they look after maybe 25-30 games in the regular season. Nuff said. P.S.- I don't feel that they should have their own "The Association" special on NBA TV. In my eyes they haven't earned it.

NFL REFS ARE BACK!

Thank God the REAL NFL refs are back. The NFL has come to terms with the referees, and their labor dispute is over. The NFL was being cheap, due to the fact that they didn't want to pay the referees. It was the same scenario with the players. The Packers vs Seahawks game played a big role in ending the dispute (we all know about that controversial catch and call).

TEAM USA HAS STRUCK GOLD!!!

The 2012 USA Team defeated Spain 107-100. We have won the gold!!! The debate will go on forever 92 Dream or 2012 Team. After these Olympics I think the gap between these 2 great teams is officially closed. Both teams are equally great. Who would win between these two great teams? If you really want to know simulate it on NBA 2k12. Nuff Said.

DWIGHT TO LA!

Superman has finally left Smallville (Orlando) and is headed to Metropolis (LA). Superstar centers tend to leave Orlando for LA (ala Shaq). Shaq won 3 titles, will Dwight do the same? Its definitely possible seeing as he'll have Captain Canada, Gasol, and The Black Mamba as his teammates. If you're an Orlando be prepared for the #1 overall pick in the 2013 draft. Nuff Said.

PENN ST

The NCAA sanctioned Penn St with the following penalties: a $60M fine, a 4 year bowl ban, and scholarship reductions. Penn St is getting what they deserve, after the horrible events that have transpired there.

2012 NBA FREE AGENCY

<p>LINSANITY............. IS HEADED TO TEXAS WHERE EVERYTHING IS BIGGER!!!!! Yeah that's true, but bigger than New York I doubt it. The global icon,the Asian Persuasion, the international superstar Jeremy Lin is headed to the Houston Rockets. Lin came out of nowhere, and not only set the NBA but the world on fire in February. Lin lead the Knickerbockers to a 7 game winning streak, out shining future Hall Of Famers Dirk and Kobe in the games they faced each other. Kobe stated he'd never heard of Lin, after the 46 pt thrashing he gave them Kobe definitely knows who he is now. Lin is set to join a nice cast of young players which includes UCONN star Jeremy Lamb, European big man Donatas Motiejunas, Royce White, and KENTUCKY star Terrence Jones. With this young core of guys the Rockets should creep in the playoffs as the 6th, 7th, or 8th seed. One major question is can Lin do what he did in February in an 82 game season? I believe he can do it, he stepped up when he got an oppurtunity to play so this is another opportunity for him to prove the doubters and haters wrong. Let's be real Melo didn't want Lin back in NY, Lin was stealing his thunder, becoming the man, and Melo couldn't stand it. If he wanted him back he wouldn't call his contract "ridiculous", he'd be telling management to resign him so that they could be in the best position to win with their own Big 3. He didn't do that, too much Haterade instead of Gatorade in his bottle. Lin was winning (linning), Melo and STAT weren't. It'll be more of the same this season. Nuff Said

2012 NBA FREE AGENCY

Steve Nash is going to Hollywood!!! The Nashinator is joining The Black Mamba Kobe Bryant and his LA Lakers, in hopes of capturing that elusive 1st championship. Nash is going to bring a dimension to the Lakers that they haven't had since Magic Johnson. Nash is arguably the best passer in the NBA, and he's the best Pick N Roll PG in the NBA. He has good big men to run the PNR with, Gasol, one of the most skilled bigs in the league, struggled last season due to The Triangle Offense being obsolete in Mike Brown's
"system" ,and the lack of a TRUE PG. Bynum, who is overhyped, immature, but talented, will definitely benefit from Nash's presence. The PNR would transform Bynum into a superstar, just as it did for Amare Stoudemire. What most people dont seem to realize is that this will benefit Kobe also. Kobe was playing like Melo last season ( a plethora of isos and tough shots). Kobe finished 2nd in scoring, due to the fact that he's one of the greatest scorers ever, also because he was seemingly the Lakers only offensive option. Nash will space the floor, allow others to score, and take the pressure off Kobe. My point of view on the situation is the Lakers will be 2 or 3 in the West and they will play the Thunder in the WCF. Will they be victorious we'll see. The Lakers also signed reliable scorer Antwan Jamison, who'll provide a nice scoring punch off the bench or even in the starting lineup over a declining Metta World Peace. Nuff Said.

2012 NBA FREE AGENCY

NBA FREE AGENCY...... the most exciting spectacle in the NBA besides The Finals. The 2 biggest free agents Deron Williams and Steve Nash made their monumental (and possibly league changing) decisions this offseason. D-Will resigned with the Brooklyn Nets, after speculation that he'd go home to the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets have made moves that will set them up to be one of the East's elite teams. The Nets traded for Joe Johnson, an overpaid, underperforming, but very talented 2 guard. The Nets resigned SF Gerald Wallace, possible All-Star C Brook Lopez, and Kim K's ex-husband
Kris Humphries. Jay-Z's Nets also dropped out of the Dwightmare Sweepstakes. My point of view on the situation is the Nets will be between the 2 and 4 seed in the playoffs. Nuff said. Pt.2 NEXT

NBA Champions

"THE MIAMI HEAT ARE BASKETBALLS BEST" Mike Breen made that statement about the Mavs last season when they won they championship, I decided to put the Heat's name instead for obvious reasons. LeBron James has finally acquired what has been eluding him for the last 9 years...... an NBA Championship. LeBron played the best basketball of his career in the 2012 playoffs. He straight dominated the Thunder, in every way, form, and fashion. His clutch ability is no longer in question. LeBron made the big/clutch shots and plays in every game in the Finals. Now that he has a ring he is easily in my opinion ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS
OF ALL TIME. Now I know you're saying he's got 1 ring Magic has 5, Kobe has 5,  Bird has 3. Yes this is true, but if you look at how he affects every game it's remarkably astounding. I believe the guy could average a triple-double if he wanted to, he's came pretty close to accomplishing it. Prior to LeBron winning a championship he was #11 on my all time greatest list, now he's number #10
. Obviously he wants more rings as does every superstar player, and he's in an ideal situation to obtain more rings. My prediction is that LeBron and the Heat will win AT LEAST 4 MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS. They won't repeat next year though, as their storyline will repeat itself but for their  previous Finals opponent. Nuff said.

Game 5- Now or Never for Thunder

It's come down to this... Game 5. If the Heat win LeBron James captures his 1st NBA titile and moves further up the ladder as one of the greatest players of all time. If the Thunder win they go back to OKC, with a chance to win it on their homecourt in front of the best fans in the NBA. SO MUCH DRAMA in only 1 game, that's the NBA Finals for you. The Thunder aren't losing because of inexperience and youth, they are losing due the simple fact that they aren't executing in the 4th quarter. I previously stated that " The OKC Thunder are showing their youth", I sat down and evaluated the their playoff run, opponents, and their team. I came up with the conclusion that YOUTH and INEXPERIENCE have absolutely positvely nothing to do with their current deficit in the Finals. The Thunder defeated 3 NBA championship teams (Mavs, Lakers, and Spurs). All of those teams are former NBA champions, veteran teams, with great talent. The Thunder lost a total of 3 games in their Western Conference playoff run. The Heat have played masterfully in the Finals ( Game 2- Game 5). LeBron has played the best basketball of his career in the 2012 NBA Finals. He's also proven why he's the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN THE WORLD. He's taking and making clutch shots, and every  play down the stretch  he's facilitating it. Wade has played like the 06' Wade (minus some explosiveness due to injury). He's been Robin to LeBron's Batman every game after Game 1. The Heat's role players have been an intrical part to the team's Finals sucess. Shane Battier has been the ultimate role player for the team, knocking down 3's with confidence and concentration. Mario Chalmers had a big game in Game 4, scoring 25 points 12 of which were in the 4th quarter. Norris Cole is the unsung hero of Game 4. He came in off the bench and scored 8 pts, (6 from downtown) and sparked a Heat run to cut into a 17 point deficit. The Heat in my opinion are going win tonight's game, and be crowned NBA Champions. If the Heat lose tonight THEY WILL LOSE THE SERIES IN 7 GAMES. Nuff said.

NBA Draft 2012

The NBA Draft is June 28, 2012. It's going to be a big night, as we have potential superstars up for grabs. Anthony Davis is the consensus #1 overall draft pick. He's a great shot blocker, rebounder, and oozes potential. After Davis their is no set or assumed order, picks vary based off opinion. Possible # 2 picks range from Kidd Gilchrist and Thomas Robinson. Other potential lotto picks are Bradley Beal, Harrison Barnes, Damian Lillard, and Jared Sullinger. All of these guys have potential to be superstars, but we'll have to see when they play their first NBA season.

Game 3- NBA Finals

The Thunder are showing their youth in the last 2 games. Silly mistakes such as fouls and turnovers are costing them games. LeBron and Wade have played extremely well in the last 2 games. I still have faith that the Thunder will win the series ,but they must make adjustments or they will find  themselves down 3-1 to the Heat heading to Miami for Game 5.

Game 1- NBA Finals

Game 1 was tale of two halves. In the 1st half LeBron James had a great start, scoring 14 pts. Shane Battier also provided a huge spark scoring 13 pts in the1st half, while shooting 3-3 from behind the 3 pt line. In the early stages of the game Miami was playing lockdown D and raced out to a 13 pt lead. OKC made a late 2nd quarter run and cut the lead to 7 at halftime. Westbrook was shooting an abysmal 3-10 from the field, and D-Wade had 7 pts. At the half Miami led 54-47. In second half the game changed dramatically. The Heat shot 32% from the field in the 3rd quarter. Russel Westbrook scored 12 pts in the 3rd, and the Thunder took a 74-73 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. The Thunder went on a 9-0 run early in the 4th, and the Heat didn't score a FG until D-Wade's AND1, at the8:55 mark of the 4th quarter, their previous FG was scored at the 2:35 mark of the 3rd quarter. The Thunder had 2 turnovers in the 4th, and basically body bagged this game. Kevin Durant erupted for 17 pts in the 4th quarter. The Thunder went on to win Game 1 105-94. LeBron IS NOT AT FAULT for the Game 1 loss, D-WADE is at fault. To be cont.

NBA FINALS

It's been a while, but I'm back for real this time. 2 words..........................NBA FINALS!!!!!!!!!! Nothing is better in my eyes. The Finals create legends, solidify superstardom, and almost guarantee HOF inductions. KD and LeBron have been the best players all season, and the best players in the postseason. Face it guys they're the best players in the league ( 1.LeBron 2 .KD). KD has been a beast in the playoffs averaging 26+ ppg in every series, and he's averaging 27.8 ppg for the playoffs. His clutch ability is not in question as he's hit big time shots in these playoffs. LeBron has played the best basketball of his career in the 2012 postseason. He's hungry and he smells blood in the water.The King boasts the highest scoring average in the postseason with 30.8 ppg. His GM 6 performance was dominating as he scored 30 pts in the 1st half in the rout of the Boston Celtics. There are 4 other players who will also have a major impact in the Finals. They need no introduction as they make up the other two-thirds of their respective Big 3's, but I'll get to them tommorrow.I will release My Finals prediction tommorrow. Nuff said.

Peyton To The Mile High City

He's finally stable!!!! After the speculation of Tennessee, Miami, and San Francisco he lands in Denver. Manning signed a 95M/5year contract with the Broncos. Peyton is immediately going to make the Broncos better, even if their recieving core isn't grade A. I also believe that the Broncos could possibly be a Superbowl contender, because of their great D and because they've just acquired a 1st ballot Hall Of Fame QB named Peyton Manning.

D-Fish to OKC

Derek Fisher signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He won't start over Westbrook, but he will come off the bench and play D, shoot 3s, and knock down clutch shots. That will definitely take pressure off KD.

IT"S BEEN A WHILE BUT I"M BACK

Hey guys it's been a while between school, work, and life blogging has been far from my mind, but I'm back with a smash up so let's get to it. First off NBA TRADE DEADLINE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! One trade has went down already. The Bucks traded C Andrew Bogut and SG Stephen Jackson to the Warriors for scoring powerhouse SG Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh, and Kwame Brown. The trade made sense seeing as Bogut can not and will never be the franchise cornerstone for the Bucks ( or the Warriors for that matter). It also made sense because Monta was ready to leave, seeing as the management was moving in a different direction with the core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and David Lee. He obviously wasn't fitting in, and Epke Udoh is and was a bust for lottery pick. I hate to say it but.......... CARMELO MUST GO!!! He's come in and messed up LINSANITY. All the blame should not fall him but about 85% should.  The Knicks were 7-1 without Anthony last month (including a victory over Utah in which he played only six minutes). They have lost 8 of 10 games since he returned. Without Melo their offense is fluid, free flowing, and fun.  With Melo their offense is stagnant, isolation heavy, and cluttered. LIN SHOULD BE THE MAN IN NEW YORK NOT MELO!!!!!!!!!!!

LINSANITY!!!!!

Jeremy Lin is the hottest topic in the NBA and the sports world. He's been an underdog his whole basketball career.In high school  he defeated Mater Dei no scholarships,in college good player @ Harvard undrafted. In the NBA picked up by the Warriors.....cut, picked up by the Rockets...... cut, picked up by the Knicks.....NBA Star!! Now that you have his backstory let's talk stats last week Lin  averaged 23.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg, and 9.8 apg those are MONSTER stats for a former undrafted D-League player. The fact that he has lead the Knickerbockers to 7 straight wins he has earned his spot as the Knicks starting PG, which is well deserved. The city is infatuated with Lin billboards, shirts, etc. Basically he's the BMOC. Melo, Stoudemire, and Lin a new BIG 3? I think so but that's me maybe it won't work, but then again maybe it will. Imagine a Miami vs. New York ECF or Chicago vs. New York ECF that would be awesome.!!!!!!!

LINSANITY!!!!

Jeremy Lin is awesome!!!! The 1 week sensation is the hottest topic in the NBA, and for good reason. He's averaged 27.2 ppg (scored 109 pts in first 4 starts most in NBA history) and 8.2 apg. To Be Cont.

RIP JOE PATERNO

RIP Joe Paterno. He passed away Sunday one of the greatest coaches of all time. He battled with cancer and the whole Penn St sex abuse scandal. It was obviously to much for him to handle. I wish his family the best and hope they recover.He is the winningest coach in college football with 409 wins and he won 2 National Championships. RIP JOE PATERNO Dec 21, 1926-Jan 22, 2012

NFL PLAYOFFS

As you see on my web page Tebow has All I Do Is Win under is picture, I put that there for a reason. I've been on the Tebow bandwagon sense his college days @ Florida. He's a good QB on his way to being a GREAT QB. He's answered the question about his ability to throw, he can throw the football. His clutch ability has never been in question obviously with all the 4th quarter comebacks this season. He lead the Broncos to a upset win over the #1 defensive ranked Pittsburgh Steelers. Boasting stats of 10/21, 316 yds, and the GW touchdown pass to DeMaryius Thomas in OT. Next up The Patriots, he struggled against them a few weeks back, but I believe in Tebow and I think he can come out Boston with a win. The Giants, Saints, and Texans thrashed their opponents. Nuff said

BAMA VS LSU

BAMA simply decimated LSU. The defense was stifling  and the special teams unit came through (most notably Jeremy Shelley who knocked down 5 field goals). Trent Richardson proved why he's the BEST RUNNING BACK IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL by scoring the only touchdown in the game. LSU's offense was in disarray (that's because of Jordan Jefferson who slawed out in the BCS Championship). Les Miles should have stuck with the man who got them to the title game Jarret Lee. He lead them, along with the great LSU D, to a 13-0 record this season. All in all Alabama was the better team (they always were the better team even in the 9-6 loss earlier in the season). The Crimson Tide proved that by shutting out LSU Tigers 21-0 in National Championship Game. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COMBO (NBA/NFL) PT 2

The Timberwolves are an exciting team to watch right now. Ricky Rubio has lived up to the hype, he is a great passer and good ball handler. A Spanish Steve Nash minus the jumpshot. Kevin Love has proved that he is a SUPERSTAR PLAYER he did it all last season averaging 20.2ppg and a monster 15.2rpg. This season he's averaging 25.4ppg and 15.2rpg through 5 games and he's had and 31 point and 20 rebound performance against the Bucks. He's FOR REAL. Derrick Williams is an exciting player to watch, his athleticism and versatility gives him the potential to be a star. The NFL playoffs are set to start Saturday and Sunday. Here are my picks for the AFC- Bengals and Broncos. Here are my picks for the NFC-Falcons and Saints. My Superbowl Champs are the defending champs Green Bay Packers.

COMBO (NBA/NFL)

The Cowboys were decimated by the Giants 31-14. Only one thing to say GET RID OF ROMO!!!!!! The Heat and Thunder are no longer perfect. The Thunder lost to the defending champions Mavericks 100-85, not suprising since I knew they would get it together and they are doing it faster than I expected. Miami lost to the Atlanta Hawks 100-92, in a game where T-Mac showed traces of the old T-Mac the superstar T-Mac scoring in bunches. To be cont.
