Super Bowl 44 ... and more!
South Florida is a buzz with football fever as the media frenzy kicked itself off yesterday. Every Super Bowl has its own story lines, but most of those are off the field stories about family members and trials and tribulations on the way to NFL stardom. This Super Bowl is more about what will happen [...]
Turning the corner ...
So football season in Baltimore is over. It wasn't that hard for me to get over ... sorry fans, I have always been a baseball guy! Orioles FanFest this past weekend was what really got my engine going and my excitement for baseball season is revving up! As well, the Birds signed Miguel Tejada back [...]
Championship Weekend
I was awful last weekend ... fade me.AFC - Jets @ Colts (Colts -8.5)Are the Jets for real? Or did the Chargers choke? Is that Jets defense good enough to stop Peyton Manning? Or will the 4-time MVP be too much? Are the Jets a team of destiny??? No. Simply put, no. To be a [...]
The 2009 Ravens: Nothing to be upset about
Saturday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts was a bitter pill to swallow. The end of the season. Another loss to the former team from Baltimore. No Super Bowl trophy. I get it. I get all the reasons to be upset. But if you're asking me to be disappointed, angry, or even the least bit bitter, [...]
Divisional Playoff Weekend
I went 3-1 last weekend ... let's see how I do this weekend.AFC -Ravens-Colts (Colts -6.5): I promised all week long that I wouldn't say the Ravens would lose, and I won't. The Ravens will cover this number. Their defense will keep them in the game. If a totally different Ravens team shows up than last [...]

It's what makes the sports world so much fun at times ... you almost can never get bored. Let's review ...Mark McGwire admits to steroid use. These interviews/press conferences will begin to become [...]
Wild Card Weekend
Let me start out by saying I have been awfully inconsistent this year with my picks ... so beware!!! Here is goes ...AFC -Jets @ Bengals - Jets have the #1 defense, the #1 rush defense, and the #1 rushing offense. For me that smells like a receipe for success in any weather, any conditions. [...]
New Year, New Season.
From an offense that couldn't be stopped in the first three weeks of the season and a defense that couldn't stop anyone ... to a offense that struggled out of the gate to a defense then bent but never broke.From poor field-goal kicking and bad special teams ... to lots of yellow flags and penalty [...]
Bowl Season ... a different twist.
College Bowl season is about to get underway here soon. And while I live for the BCS Bowls, the other 38 bowls that are played do not interest me ... AT ALL! It's not even the fact that any given bowl will have SW Missouri State take on Montana that bothers me. It's the damn [...]
Week 13 in the NFL ...
Sorry I have been away a while folks! But I am back and better than before!What a week it was in the National Football League! The Colts and Saints remain undefeated! The Redskins are an abomination of a football team. I can't blame Jim Zorn. He coached a game that would have saved his job [...]
