Let’s just throw everything in the air and
see what happens. That’s what seemingly happened this weekend
in the NFL. Crazy endings and all sorts of things got mixed up. But this helter skelter nature has led to some interesting scenarios.
Thanks to one fan, the winds of fortune
blew the Pittsburgh Steelers' way in their matchup versus
the Dallas Cowboys.
Some Week 14 predictions for the Minnesota Vikings
and Detroit Lions who match up this week, as
well as some prognostication for the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
There were many ingredients (games) that added to
an interesting Thanksgiving holiday week of football.
A preview of Week 13 for the NFC
North!
The Tennessee Titans will no longer have a
perfect season after the New York Jets beat the
Titans in Tennessee on Sunday.
Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley will have hip
surgery and miss a discernible amount of time.
The correlation between football and politics, as well
as some predictions.
To say the Stephon Marbury/New York Knicks situation
has been a mess of galactic proportions would be
an understatement.
The Washington Nationals traded for left-hander Scott Olsen
and outfielder Josh Willingham from the Florida Marlins for
second baseman Emilio Bonifacio, first baseman Jake Smolinski, and righty P.J. Dean. While Bonifacio is a solid defensive second baseman with some on-base ability and tons of...
Sometimes the NFL is called the “No Fun
League” because of its conservative leadership. However, there was
so much going on this past weekend that it was a fan’s delight - it’s great fun! And the Minnesota Vikings’ Adrian Peterson leads the charge in the “National FUN League.”
There are two possibilities here for the A’s:
1) They honestly plan to contend for a title
next season and having Matt Holliday will certainly bolster an anemic offense. 2) They plan to acquire Holliday and then trade him to another team, be it at the deadline or right away, for more prospects.
Okay, Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz isn’t
exactly to the point of mocking Chris Paul, arguably
the first overall fantasy basketball pick, of the New Orleans Hornets, but he is more than holding his own.
Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks was shown
on camera disrespecting the United States' national anthem and
one has to wonder, "What the frag is going on here?!?!?!?!"
Baron Davis will be taking the Boom Dizzle
down from NorCal to SoCal as he will no
longer sport his beard in the Yay Area, but instead in the City of Angels where no doubt his ability to drain buckets (and miss them like he was Stevie Wonder), drop the rock (bathroom humor not intended)...
Yeah, Marcus Camby is no longer a Denver
Nugget, which absolutely makes no sense considering he was
traded for an OPTION of a second round draft pick from the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, Camby will be in the Clip Joint, but how happy will he be going from a playoff-caliber team to... the Clippers?!?!
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady succumbed to
an injury yesterday during the Pats’ victory over the
Kansas City Chiefs in the first quarter of the game and could be out the rest of the season. What to do?
Now that the NBA Salary Cap has been
set for the 2008-09 season, many teams are now
able to sign free agents, with Elton Brand being target number one. Word has come out that the Philadelphia 76ers have received a verbal agreement from Brand to join the team for five years and about $80 million.
I wonder how significant of an achievement this
really is when you consider that guys like Gaylord
Perry and Phil Niekro, who were not exactly flame throwers, are part of this club? And that it took 51 years for someone (in this case, Bob Gibson) to join Walter Johnson, with 14 more to follow in less time. Should this in any way diminish...
Founded in 1923 by Walter Johnson, John Smoltz
last night became just the 16th pitcher in major
league history to join the 3000 K Club. A sure-fire Hall of Famer (and probably on the first ballot), the 40-year-old Smoltz has been pretty much dominant in his 20-years on the major league level, and...



















You Gotta Be Kidding Me Steelers, Bills, Giants!
