There were upsets...and I am upset

Lets get right to it,

Saturday Night the Dallas Cowboys beat the (13-0) New Orleans Saints...in the Superdome!!! WHAT?!...I typed it and still do not believe it, but for Bob I will say it...HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!..24-17 was the final score, and this game was important for more than one reason.. Now the Cowboys control their own playoff destiny, and the finally won a game in December... Drew Brees and the Saints did a great job bringing that once ravaged city together, and made believers out of a couple million people.Now that they don't have the pressure of "perfection" on their backs, or the irritating voice of Mercury Morris in their heads the Saints will now be more dangerous than ever before...But let's not take anything away from Genius Wade Phillips (sarcasm i promise) as he is the first coach to hand the saints defeat, now all they have to do is be consistent and keep winning...

Now onto the Patriots...this team..who i picked to be in the Superbowl, still finds a way to make me nervous every week...and they played the BILLS!!! Sure Randy Moss had a touchdown and a decent game (5rec 70yds) but this defense still let up points to the BILLS!..I am as optimistic as they come, but the Patriots need an Extreme Road Makeover if they want to be in Florida for the big game...Yes they won, and sure they even won on the road which brings their season total to....uh...oh yeah 2!!!..and just so you know the first one was against the Buc's so it doesn't count...All I'm saying is that i would like to see some defensive improvement before this team gets into the playoffs and gives me a massive coronary heart attack..So in a perfect world it would be Pat's-Vik's in the Superbowl, but New England squad needs to step it up big time....

more tomorrow....

THATS A WRAP!

Long time

Sorry Guys,

I know its been a long time since this has been updated, but now that Christmas break is here more updates should be coming.

First, I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to the Henry family. It was a tragic turn of events that took the life of 26 year old Chris Henry. Although he was known in his early NFL days as a "trouble maker", he had seemed to turn his life around....and then this happened.

Keeping in the NFL,

The undefeated New Orleans Saints face their last "real" challenge of the season this Saturday, as the Dallas Cowboys roll into town. The 'Boys have lost two in a row, and are a dismal 6-10 in December under Tony Romo. I am going to take the easy choice here and pick the Saints to beat the Cowboys, although i would not be surprised if Dallas did pull off the upset.

The Indianapolis Colts take on a wild card hopeful Jaguars sitting at (7-6). The Colts handed the 'Jags their first loss of the season back in week one, in a very close game, but the outcome will be different tonight. Head coach Jim Caldwell has already said that he would play to win this game...without any player that is banged up..So yes, Manning will start, but for how long? And what weapons will he have on the field....On the other side of the ball the Jaguars and Maurice Jones Drew will be playing harder, and more in your face football, and will win this game 21-17.

The Minnesota "Bret-Petersons" will have no problem demolishing the limping Carolina Panthers. The score of that game will roughly be 35-14, and look for Adrian Peterson to continue his rushing attack from last game.

Finishing the picks up with the hometown team, the New England Patriots SHOULD make quick work of the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have a decent rushing/passing attack with the re-emergence of T.O, but Brady, Welker, and more importantly Moss should have no problem. Randy will get back to his ways, with a 100yd game and a touchdown.Score 34-17.


Moving onto Baseball....

Cliff Lee to Seattle, Halliday to Philly, and Lackey and Cameron to Boston...and that is just the LAST 4 DAYS!!!

Many people around Boston (including me) thought that this would be a rebuilding year for the 'Sox, but with the recent moves we have told the Yankees that we will not go quietly. Bob or myself will update tomorrow..

but for now.....THATS A WRAP..
