10. Lee Evans--Speedster should improve even more as Losman gets better and more confident.
9. Javon Walker--Denver's #1 will help Cutler become better while piling up his own stats.
8. Randy Moss--Think Minnesota Lite. He will be tons better than in hell, but Brady has other options, so his numbers won't equal his best Minnesota days.
7. Larry Fitzgerald--The better of the 2 Arizona receivers. He gives Leinart a great target which Leinart will exploit every chance he gets.
6. Terrell Owens--The Barry Bonds of Football as far as I'm concerned....Great player that is a complete asshole. He will put up numbers just like he does every year.
5. Torry Holt--Always produces. This year will be no exception.
4. Reggie Wayne--The other receiver on the Colts. He is a #1 receiver on any other NFL team and I do mean ANY other team.
3. Chad Johnson--Puts up good numbers every year, but does it in a few great games and a bunch of ho-hum ones.
2 Steve Smith--A healthy Delhomme and O-line will result in much better numbers than last year.
1. Marvin Harrison--The best receiver since Jerry Rice and he might even be better overall than Rice. Catches anything and everything thrown to him. TD's galore with Manning under center.

Top 10 Sleeper RB for Fantasy Football '07
10. Marion Barber III--Julius Jones will still get the lion's share of the workload, but Marion should hawk most if not all of the goal-line carries, which means touchdown's galore again.
9. Cedric Benson--With Thomas Jones gone to the Jets, Cedric has the backfield to himself.
8. Ahman Green--Ahman is a great RB, but Houston's O-Line is pretty porous. I still think Green will get tons of touches not only out of the backfield, but as a receiver for Matt Schaub to dump off to before he gets sacked.
7. Tatum Bell or Kevin Jones--Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell are going to battle for the starting gig in Detroit. Whomever wins the job should be good for 800-1,000 yards and 8-12 TD's. Shit, if Detroit gets their offense in sync and Kitna remembers which team he is supposed to throw to they both might get close to 1,000 yards and 10 TD's.
6. Deuce McAllister--With Reggie Bush in town a lot of people overlook this spark plug of a back. He can pound the ball and will get most of the goal-line carries.
5. Thomas Jones--He will share carries with Leon Washington and Cedric Houston, but he is a better receiver than either of them so he will be a good receiving option for Chad Pennington.
4. Cadillac Williams--Cadillac was absolutely hammered by opposing teams last year since the Buc's had no passing game. Garcia and an improved O-line should help keep him from getting punished as much.
3. Brandon Jackson--Was the starter before the ink dried on his signature. Should help open it up for Favre.
2. Brandon Jacobs--Will be the feature back now that Tiki is retired.
1. LaMont Jordan--Will be main offensive weapon as Russell learns to be an NFL QB.
9. Cedric Benson--With Thomas Jones gone to the Jets, Cedric has the backfield to himself.
8. Ahman Green--Ahman is a great RB, but Houston's O-Line is pretty porous. I still think Green will get tons of touches not only out of the backfield, but as a receiver for Matt Schaub to dump off to before he gets sacked.
7. Tatum Bell or Kevin Jones--Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell are going to battle for the starting gig in Detroit. Whomever wins the job should be good for 800-1,000 yards and 8-12 TD's.

Top 10 RB for Fantasy Football 2007
10. Ronnie Brown--Cam Cameron will do wonders for the Miami offense. With the addition of Green, the offense will be more than one dimensional.
9. Travis Henry--Every RB has succeeded in the Bronco backfield for years. Henry will excel as the feature back and be a huge benefit to Cutler.
8. Laurence Maroney--With Corey Dillon retired, he will be the featured back. Look out!
7. Shaun Alexander--Assuming his foot is finally healed, he will get back to form and run rampant over anybody in his way.
6. Joseph Addai--In pass happy offense he found success as a backup, so the sky is the limit this year.
5. Rudi Johnson--Mr consistency will get his 1,300+ yards and his 12+ TD's as he does every year.
4. Frank Gore--Smith's maturation as a QB should help keep teams from keying on Gore alone. Leaving this speedy back the opportunity to run wild over opposing teams.
3. Larry Johnson--He may not be a Chief much longer from what I hear. They are thinking of trading him instead of trying to negotiate a new contract with him. If he stays on the Chiefs expect another great year. If he gets traded his stock could rise or fall depending on where he ends up.
2. Stephen Jackson--Jackson gets the nod over Johnson here because St. Louis has more weapons than KC to keep the pressure off of Jackson. Expect greater numbers this year than he had last year.
1. LaDainian Tomlinson--Expect Tomlinson (Lawrence Taylor is LT not Tomlinson in my book) to destroy defenses again this year. This guy is a freak of nature.
9. Travis Henry--Every RB has succeeded in the Bronco backfield for years. Henry will excel as the feature back and be a huge benefit to Cutler.
8. Laurence Maroney--With Corey Dillon retired, he will be the featured back. Look out!
7. Shaun Alexander--Assuming his foot is finally healed, he will get back to form and run rampant over anybody in his way.

Top 10 QB's for Fantasy Football 2007
10. Tony Romo--T.O., Crayton, Jones, Barber III should help Romo produce a fine fantasy season.
9. Phillip Rivers--Gates, Tomlinson, V Jackson, will help Rivers put up some good fantasy numbers. Tomlinson will also take away some points due to the fact that he is a pretty good fuckin' running back.
8. Matt Leinart--Not many have as good a receiving corps as Leinart to throw to. Bouldin, James, and Fitzgerald should have good years.
7. Marc Bulger--The addition of Bennett is good. He and Jackson should give Bulger a few solid targets to throw to.
6. Trent Green--Finally, the 'Phins have their first decent QB since Dan "The Man" Marino. Trent is no Dan, but he is closer than any QB they have had since he retired. Chambers, Ginn Jr, Hagan (if he can hold onto the ball) should profit nicely with the addition of Green.
5. John Kitna--Calvin Johnson, Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, Tatum Bell, Kevin Jones and Mike Martz---'Nuff said.
4. Carson Palmer--Palmer got back to full strength by the end of the season last year, so he should be back to his former Fantasy Stud self.
3. Drew Brees--Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, and newcomer Robert Meachem more than make up for Joe Horn's bolt to Atlanta.
2. Peyton Manning--Yup, I did it. I didn't put Manning number 1. Harrison and Wayne are the best 1-2 punch at WR in the NFL. He will definitely produce for 30+ TD's and 4000 yards.
1. Tom Brady--Had an off fantasy year last year, but should come back strong this year especially with the additions of Moss, Welker, and Stallworth. He has something to prove this year.
9. Phillip Rivers--Gates, Tomlinson, V Jackson, will help Rivers put up some good fantasy numbers. Tomlinson will also take away some points due to the fact that he is a pretty good fuckin' running back.
8. Matt Leinart--Not many have as good a receiving corps as Leinart to throw to. Bouldin, James, and Fitzgerald should have good years.

Draft Results
Man did I fuck up the draft. I picked three of the first 32 correct. Here is how the draft actually went with my pick in () and my thoughts on the actual pick.
1. Oakland--JaMarcus Russell(Calvin Johnson) --Good pick, even though I think they should have gone with Johnson. Not sure who Russell is going to throw to since they traded Moss to the Patriots. Guess they figure he is going to either be on his back or running for his life most of the time so they didn't need to worry about the WR, TE or RB position.
2. Detroit--Calvin Johnson(JaMarcus Russell) --Should be a much better WR player than their previous busts(Rogers, Williams, Williams). Gives Kitna someone solid to throw to that can catch his shit balls he tends to throw up for grabs.
3. Cleveland--Joe Thomas(Adrian Peterson) --Well at least Quinn won't have to worry about his blind side. Thomas is a bear and should anchor the left side of the O-Line for years to come.
4. Tampa Bay--Gaines Adams--I actually got this one right. Adams will be giving opposing QBs fits and will help make the Tampa defense respectable again.
5. Arizona--Levi Brown(Joe Thomas) --I had the right position just the wrong player. Levi will help keep Leinart off the ground as much.
6. Washington--LaRon Landry(Amobi Okoye) --I guess they were more worried about getting beat down the field than getting pressure on the QB.
7. Minnesota--Adrian Peterson(Jamaal Anderson) --Peterson is a good fit for the Vikings and a great upgrade at the RB position.
8. Atlanta--Jamaal Anderson(LaRon Landry) --D-Line is getting old (older than their secondary). Good pick to beef up their d-line and get it younger also.
9. Miami--Ted Ginn Jr(Brady Quinn) --WTF!!!!!! This is the stupidest fucking pick of the draft. Miami should be ashamed of themselves. What the hell were they thinking with this pick. You have a potential franchise QB still on the board (Quinn) and is ready to start right away. I know he went to Notre Dame, but if I can get over that in order to upgrade the most important position then so should the Dolphins. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. Ginn should be a great addition, but they needed Quinn more than they needed Ginn. Maybe they thought they were picking Quinn but spelled his name wrong and got Ginn. Who knows, but I am very disappointed in this pick.
10. Houston--Amobi Okoye(Levi Brown) --With Brown and Adams gone, Okoye is a great pick here and should help a young Houston defense improve.
11. San Francisco--Patrick Willis --The second pick I got correct with. Willis is a great addition to this young team and should step right into a leadership role on the defense.
12. Buffalo--Marshawn Lynch(Adam Carriker) --With McGahee gone this is a good solid pick for the Bills. If he can get used to the cold he will do well.
13. St Louis--Adam Carriker(Leon Hall) --St Louis needed tons of help on defense and Adam gives them a solid pass rusher. Good pick.
14. NY Jets(from Carolina)--Darelle Revis(Jon Beason) --Revis is a good pick. The Jets made the move because they didn't think he would be around at the #25 pick.
15. Pittsburgh--Lawrence Timmons --The last pick I got correct. Timmons will help an aging LB corps.
16. Green Bay--Justin Harrell(Marshawn Lynch) --Brett Favre is going to be mad at this pick. A key offensive player would have made more sense. With Lynch off the board, I think I would have went with Olson or traded down and then picked up Olson. This pick would have been worth 2-3 later picks and they still could have picked Olson(depending on how far they went down).
17. Denver(from Jacksonville)--Jarvis Moss(Reggie Nelson) --He was the only one of Denver's top three left so they traded up in order to secure him. Should make an impact on the Bronco line immediately.
18. Cincinnati--Leon Hall(Darelle Revis) --Leon and Darelle were about even to me so with Darelle taken and Leon left, they picked an impact player for the position they needed.
19. Tennessee--Michael Griffin(Robert Meacham) --I thought they would have went offensive, especially receiver, to help Vince Young, but with the suspension of Jones they needed to change their strategy.
20. NY Giants--Aaron Ross(Jarvis Moss) --Ross...Moss, I was close. I didn't even have Ross in the first round. Giants must like him though.
21. Jacksonville(from Denver)--Reggie Nelson(Paul Pazluszny) --Jacksonville traded down and still got their man in Nelson. Green Bay should have done this.
22. Cleveland(from Dallas)--Brady Quinn(Ted Ginn Jr) --A steal by the Browns to get Quinn right here. He should be a Dolphin, but they were too stupid to take him at #9.
23. Kansas City--Dwayne Bowe(Joe Staley) --They needed O-Line help more than receiver help in my opinion, but they chose a WR. Guess that is why I am not the GM in KC.
24. New England--Brandon Meriweather(Michael Griffin) --Tennessee took Michael Griffin, which left Meriweather as the best DB og the ones left in the draft.
25. Carolina--Jon Beason(Greg Olson) --Carolina's defense is getting old and Beason is a nice addition.
26. Dallas(via Cleveland through Philadelphia)--Anthony Spencer(Brandon Meriweather) --I didn't even have Spencer going in the first round. He should be a good fit on the Dallas D-Line.
27. New Orleans--Robert Meacham(David Harris) --Another WR? Not sure why Nola picked a WR with this pick. They have plenty of offensive weapons and needed to get some talent and depth at the LB position. They failed to do that with this pick.
28. San Francisco--Joe Staley(Chris Houston) --San Francisco traded into this pick and got a solid O-Lineman to protect their franchise QB(Alex Smith).
29. Baltimore--Ben Grubbs(Justin Blalock) --I had the right position (OL) just the wrong person. Grubbs will help McNair stay afoot so he can make plays.
30. San Diego--Craig Davis(Dwayne Jarrett) --Again I had the right position, just the wrong player. I think Jarrett would have been a better fit for the San Diego offense, but Davis is just as good.
31. Chicago--Greg Olson(Dwayne Bowe) --I like this pick. This gives Grossman a large target over the middle so he doesn't feel like he has to air it out all the time. I would have put him here in my mock draft, but I didn't think he would still be on the board at this pick.
32. Indianapolis--Anthony Gonzalez(Justin Harrell) --Not sure why they felt they needed another receiver, but I guess you can't give Manning enough targets. Why worry about defense when you have the ability to score 40+ a game.
Best Pick--Cleveland--I give the best pick to Cleveland for their #22 steal of Brady Quinn.
Worst Pick--Miami--Miami made the worst and stupidest pick when they selected Ted Ginn Jr instead of Quinn at #9.
1. Oakland--JaMarcus Russell(Calvin Johnson) --Good pick, even though I think they should have gone with Johnson. Not sure who Russell is going to throw to since they traded Moss to the Patriots. Guess they figure he is going to either be on his back or running for his life most of the time so they didn't need to worry about the WR, TE or RB position.
2. Detroit--Calvin Johnson(JaMarcus Russell) --Should be a much better WR player than their previous busts(Rogers, Williams, Williams). Gives Kitna someone solid to throw to that can catch his shit balls he tends to throw up for grabs.

7. Minnesota--Adrian Peterson(Jamaal Anderson) --Peterson is a good fit for the Vikings and a great upgrade at the RB position.
8. Atlanta--Jamaal Anderson(LaRon Landry) --D-Line is getting old (older than their secondary). Good pick to beef up their d-line and get it younger also.

Mock Draft
NFL draft day is approaching. This is the biggest day in pro football. I know some may say it is the Super Bowl, but with the quality of the games the Super Bowl has had the last 10 years or so draft day gets my nod. Here is how I think the draft should go. I am assuming no trades will be made. I am positive at least one team will make a move during the draft, but it is too unpredictable to include in this mock draft.
1. Oakland--Calvin Johnson(WR)--This is who they should pick, since he will make a bigger immediate impact than Russell. Especially if they trade Moss like the rumors are saying.
2. Detroit--JaMarcus Russell(QB)--They need a QB more than anything right now. Russell will eventually be a franchise QB and teams should never pass on a franchise QB unless they already have one.
3. Cleveland--Adrian Peterson(RB)--They need an upgrade to their running game and Peterson is better than anybody they have right now hands down!
4. Tampa Bay--Gaines Adams(DE)--Their defense is older than dinosaur shit and he is the best DE in the draft.
5. Arizona--Joe Thomas(OT)--Thomas is the best OL in the draft and the more protection they get for Leinart the better.
6. Washington--Amobi Okoye(DT)--After Adams the rest of the DE/DL are close enough. Okoye gives them a force on the D-Line for years to come.
7. Minnesota--Jamaal Anderson(DE)--Need D-Line help. Anderson is good, especially after Okoye and Adams are off the board.
8. Atlanta--LeRon Landry(S)--Best DB in the draft. Having Landry on the field with Hall would be devastating for opposing receivers and QBs.
9. Miami--Brady Quinn(QB)--If he drops this far then this would be a steal for Miami, especially since they desperately need a franchise type QB. Even though Quinn came from fucking Notre Dame, I could put that fact aside if he wins games for my 'Phins.
10. Houston--Levi Brown(OT)--This is the player they should have drafted for Carr. Now they will draft him for Schaub.
11. San Francisco--Patrick Willis(LB)--Need LB help and he is one of the top ones in the draft. Should be a good fit for this young team.
12. Buffalo--Adam Carriker(DE)--DE is a strong position in this draft. He would help them get at Brady more.
13. St. Louis--Leon Hall(CB)--They need DB help and he should be a solid player for awhile.
14. Carolina--Jon Beason(LB)--Need a LB, he fills the role.
15. Pittsburgh--Lawrence Timmons(LB)--Just who I think they will pick.
16. Green Bay--Marshawn Lynch--Desperately need to give Favre some offensive help. If they don't trade up for Peterson then Lynch is the next best.
17. Jacksonville--Reggie Nelson(S)--Need a DB.
18. Cincinnati--Darelle Revis(CB)--They need DB help.
19. Tennessee--Robert Meacham(WR)--They need WR help for Vince Young.
20. NY Giants--Jarvis Moss(DE/LB)--Strahan isn't getting younger.
21. Denver--Paul Pazluszny(LB)--With Wilson gone a new LB is in order.
22. Dallas--Ted Ginn Jr(WR)--Always a sucker for a fast WR.
23. Kansas City--Joe Staley(OT)--Solid pick for their O-Line that needs help.
24. New England--Michael Griffin(S)--Rodney Harrison isn't good for every down anymore.
25. NY Jets--Greg Olson(TE)--Would be a good fit for the 2-3 yards that Pennington can throw.
26. Philadelphia--Brandon Meriweather(S)--Need DB help and he is good if he can stay away from off-field trouble.
27. New Orleans--David Harris--Offense is set so defense is the order of the day.
28. New England--Chris Houston(CB)--Offense is solid enough and defense is getting old.
29. Baltimore--Justin Blalock(OL)--Need to give McNair more time.
30. San Diego--Dwayne Jarrett(WR)--Don't need a WR, but Jarrett will give Rivers someone other than Gates to throw to consistently.
31. Chicago--Dwayne Bowe(WR)--Desperately need to get more weapons on offense. A more consistent QB would be a better choice, but they are standing behind Grossman so.......
32. Indianapolis--Justin Harrell(DT)--Defense is where they need the most help.
Tune in later to see how close I was.
1. Oakland--Calvin Johnson(WR)--This is who they should pick, since he will make a bigger immediate impact than Russell. Especially if they trade Moss like the rumors are saying.
2. Detroit--JaMarcus Russell(QB)--They need a QB more than anything right now. Russell will eventually be a franchise QB and teams should never pass on a franchise QB unless they already have one.
3. Cleveland--Adrian Peterson(RB)--They need an upgrade to their running game and Peterson is better than anybody they have right now hands down!
4. Tampa Bay--Gaines Adams(DE)--Their defense is older than dinosaur shit and he is the best DE in the draft.
5. Arizona--Joe Thomas(OT)--Thomas is the best OL in the draft and the more protection they get for Leinart the better.
6. Washington--Amobi Okoye(DT)--After Adams the rest of the DE/DL are close enough. Okoye gives them a force on the D-Line for years to come.
7. Minnesota--Jamaal Anderson(DE)--Need D-Line help. Anderson is good, especially after Okoye and Adams are off the board.
8. Atlanta--LeRon Landry(S)--Best DB in the draft. Having Landry on the field with Hall would be devastating for opposing receivers and QBs.

17. Jacksonville--Reggie Nelson(S)--Need a DB.
18. Cincinnati--Darelle Revis(CB)--They need DB help.
19. Tennessee--Robert Meacham(WR)--They need WR help for Vince Young.
20. NY Giants--Jarvis Moss(DE/LB)--Strahan isn't getting younger.
21. Denver--Paul Pazluszny(LB)--With Wilson gone a new LB is in order.
22. Dallas--Ted Ginn Jr(WR)--Always a sucker for a fast WR.
23. Kansas City--Joe Staley(OT)--Solid pick for their O-Line that needs help.
24. New England--Michael Griffin(S)--Rodney Harrison isn't good for every down anymore.
25. NY Jets--Greg Olson(TE)--Would be a good fit for the 2-3 yards that Pennington can throw.
26. Philadelphia--Brandon Meriweather(S)--Need DB help and he is good if he can stay away from off-field trouble.
27. New Orleans--David Harris--Offense is set so defense is the order of the day.
28. New England--Chris Houston(CB)--Offense is solid enough and defense is getting old.
29. Baltimore--Justin Blalock(OL)--Need to give McNair more time.
30. San Diego--Dwayne Jarrett(WR)--Don't need a WR, but Jarrett will give Rivers someone other than Gates to throw to consistently.
31. Chicago--Dwayne Bowe(WR)--Desperately need to get more weapons on offense. A more consistent QB would be a better choice, but they are standing behind Grossman so.......
32. Indianapolis--Justin Harrell(DT)--Defense is where they need the most help.
Tune in later to see how close I was.

The Super Bowl Shuffle
Has it really been 21 years since the Super Bowl Shuffle? Well, for those of you who were around when the 1985 Chicago Bears rolled over the entire NFL, going 15-1 and losing only to Dan Marino and my Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, then you may not know what this is about. Prior to the Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears recorded a song called "The Super Bowl Shuffle". I loved this song when it came out. The link below will take you to the lyrics. The video is not the greatest quality, but it is still good. The bottom is an hysterical article from "the Onion".

HOLY SHIT!!! The Colts beat the Patriots
Un'fucking'believable. I can't believe that Peyton pulled this game out of his ass. I'm glad the Colts won, I just didn't think they would. Peyton did a good job of leading them down the field in the second half with the short/medium pass game and a few runs mixed in. The Patriots were shell shocked and kept playing to stop the big play and the Colts just kept chipping away and chipping away, taking 5-13 yards on almost every play on their way to score 32 points in the second half. Wow! Congratulations Indianapolis on a great game and finally beating the Patriots.
The Bears made easy work of the Saints. New Orleans forgot that you need to hold onto the ball in order to win the game. Fumble after fumble in their own end of the field gave the anemic Bears offense a short field to work with almost every time they had the ball. The Saints held them to field goals the first couple of times, but then they started getting tired since they were on the field all the time. With the exception of one drive and an 88 yard score by Reggie Bush, the Saints vaunted offense didn't bother to show up. The Bears defense played like they started the season and took control of the game from the beginning. Congratulations Chicago on a well executed game and making it back to the Super Bowl after 21 years.

Championship Weekend!!!!!
Saints vs Bears--This should be a good game. The stingy Bears defense against the explosive Saints offense. If the Saints can keep the ball to themselves their offense should do the rest. If they feel like giving it to the Bears then it is going to be a long day.
The Bears defense has been kinda Jekyll and Hyde this year. The beginning of the year (the first 8 games or so) their defense was unbelievable. They stopped the run and the pass and took the ball away with ease no matter who they were playing. The rest of the season they were a still better than most other teams defenses but they were the dominating force they were in the beginning of the season. Now I know they have had a few key injuries--Tommy Harris being the major one--has effected them to some extent, but if they can regain the intensity and nastiness of the beginning of the season this game will be a nightmare for the Saints.
The Saints offense can gain yards by both passing and running with their exciting offense. Drew Brees has had an amazing season thanks to Bush, Colston, Henderson and Copper. Moving the ball at will in almost every game, no matter the defense. However, the last defense they played that was even remotely close in ability, the Dallas Cowboys, they didn't do shit. The Saints offense has to hold onto the ball against this defense or it will be over before they know it.
The Bears defense will return to their beginning of the season form and harass Brees all day. The Saints will not I predict the Saints will not be able to hold onto the ball and will turn it over either by interception or fumble 5 times. The Bears will win 31-21.
Patriots vs Colts--This should be the game of the day. Manning can't seem to be able to beat the Patriots in the playoffs and the Patriots rarely lose to anybody come playoff time. Two great teams with very potent offenses that can score at any time. The Patriots defense is much better than the Colts, although the Colts 'D' has been playing well above their ability during these playoffs.
The Patriots are the best playoff team ever. 12-1 in the Belichick/Brady era, 10 playoff wins in a row and 3 out of the past 5 Super Bowls. I can't think of any other team that has had a run like that. Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks under pressure and in playoff games that has ever played the game. I think the Patriots will be able to move the ball with ease on the Colts defense and score lots of points.
The Colts offense is even better than the Patriots, but their defense isn't as good. Peyton Manning has had a terrible playoffs so far. If Manning can stop his interceptions and the Colts can hold onto the ball then they should be able to pass with ease. Their running game will be non-existent. I think Peyton will have another bad playoff game and will not be able to lead his team to victory.
Patriots will win this one 31-21.

Round 2 Round-up
Round 2 of the NFL playoffs concluded yesterday. There were some surprises mixed in with the expectations. All of the games were good throughout and entertaining to the end. Some teams played like shit and still won (Da Bears) and others pulled enough out of their ass to win (the Colts).
Colts vs. Ravens. The Colts got just enough from playoff choker Peyton Manning and their defense to squeak by the Ravens. Of course the anemic Ravens offense didn't make it too hard on the Colts defense. McNair was worse than Heath Schuler (on a good day) and couldn't hit an elephant in the ass from point blank range. Jamal Lewis should have carried the ball 25+ times instead of 13. Had that happened then the Ravens would have won. Hell, even the Colts ran more than they passed. My prediction was 27-17 Ravens. Final score--Colts 15-6.
Eagles vs. Saints. This game had a lot of offense (790 total yards combined) and some decent defense. The Saints 'D' stopped the Eagles just enough for their offense to score enough points to win. McAllister and Westbrook ran all over the place almost at will and were the difference makers for both teams. Neither quarterback really shined, but Brees made a few more key plays than Garcia. Overall, this was a great game for both the Saints and the city of New Orleans. My prediction was 45-38 Saints. Final score--Saints 27-24.
Seahawks vs. Bears. This game was a joke. There is no way the Seahawks should have been able to take this game into overtime. Da Bears should have put this game away early. Instead they have to rely on Robbie Gould to kick two late field goals (one in regulation and one in OT) to come off the field with a win. The almost loss should be pinned directly on the shoulders of the offensive coordinator. With Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson in the backfield the Bears should have ran the ball down Seattle's throat. Instead the Bears put the ball into Grossman's hands and he couldn't get it done. Too many long pass attempts and poorly thrown balls and not enough pounding let the Seahawks stay in the game and actually take the lead late in the third quarter. Of course, the Bears defense couldn't have stopped my two year old son, Bubba, from running for 100 yards and a couple of scores. A truly pathetic performance by the #1 seed in the NFC. My prediction was Da Bears 30-6. Final score--Bears 27-24.
Patriots vs. Chargers. What can I say, the Patriots are always the team to beat in the playoffs, no matter what their seed. They man-handled the Chargers and didn't let LT beat them. LT had a great game, but it could have been better. The Chargers gave the ball to LT 25 times (including 2 receptions) and passed the ball 32 times. He ran all over the Patriots for 123 yards and 2 scores. He would have easily had at least one more score if he been given the ball 10 more times. Instead Martyball relied too heavily on Rivers and trick plays. Meanwhile the Patriots knew what they had to do to win.....pass, pass, pass. Which Tom Brady did 51 times. They weren't getting anywhere on the ground so they went to the air. Sure Brady was picked off 3 times (like I predicted), but he made good decisions and always seems to bring out the best in his receivers, whoever they are. My prediction was Chargers 34-20. Final score--Patriots 24-21.
Stay tuned for my preview of the conference championships.

Round 2 of the NFL Playoffs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I didn't write anything about the first round, but whatever. The second round match ups should prove to be good.
First off we have what I consider the game of the day; Colts vs. Ravens. This boils down to who is better, the Colts offense or the Ravens defense? Peyton sucks in the playoffs and this years Ravens defense is even more stifling than their 2000 defense. I predict 4 interceptions and 2 touchdowns for Peyton and less than 50 yards rushing for the team. The Ravens offense, which isn't quite as anemic as their offense in 2000, still needs some work. The Lewis's (Ray and Jamal) will lead the Ravens to victory over the combination of Manning and Harrison. Ravens 27-17.
The second game, Eagles vs. Saints, should show whether the Saints are for real and if the Eagles can keep the magic they have had since McNabb was injured. Drew Brees has had an amazing year, much better than I thought he would have, and is the leader of a young but talented Saints offense. Reggie Bush starting playing like Reggie Bush in the latter part of the year and rookie phenom Marques Colston should be completely healed for today's game. Devery Henderson should make up for Joe Horn's limitations due to injury and there is always Deuce McAllister. So the Saint's should be able to move the ball fairly easily with their high-powered offense. The Eagle's offense with Brian Westbrook, Jeff Garcia, Donte Stallworth, LJ Smith, and Reggie Brown should also be able to move the ball fairly easily. The question of the day for this game is which defense is going to rise to the occasion and keep the other offense from scoring more than their own. Saints 45-38.
On Sunday we have the Seahawks vs. Bears. This game boils down to which defense can score more points off turnovers than the other. Hasselback and Grossman are both terrible this year, although Grossman tends to make more mistakes (when he makes them). Then of course there is the Devin Hester factor. Hester will return one punt/kickoff for a touchdown and the Bears defense will keep the Seahawks out of the endzone. Urlacher and company will also score two touchdowns off interceptions or fumbles as well. Bears 30-6.
The other Sunday matchup pits the Patriots vs. Chargers. Can Martyball come through in the playoffs finally? Yes, the Chargers have more offense than the Patriots defense can handle and the Charger defense is actually really good. Brady will have the worst game of his playoff career as he will be hounded all day by Merriman and Co. Three interceptions and 7 sacks are in store for Brady and Tomlinson will run for 150+ yards and 3 scores. San Diego 34-20.

Year End "Stupid Fucker" List
The last "Stupid Fucker" list of 2006 will be the 10 biggest "Stupid Fuckers" in the world of sports as determined by me. These are in no particular order.
- The Anti-Christ
- Terrell Owens
- Justin Gatlin
- Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong
- Ohio State Football Coach Jim Tressell
- Brady Quinn and Notre Dame Football
- MLB Owners and GMs
- The BCS System
- Zinedine Zidane
- The Houston Texans
1-The Anti-Christ, also known as Barry Bonds. The Anti-Christ is my most hated baseball player of all time and probably will be forever. I don't hate the Anti-Christ as a person, I have never met it, but I loathe it as a baseball player. To basically take the record book and wipe your ass with it is the most despicable thing that can be done as far as I am concerned (it barely beats out spitting on another player). Barry Bonds was having a Hall of Fame career before he became the Anti-Christ, he was the sole member of the 500-500 club (500 career Home Runs and 500 career steals). This almost assured him a spot in the Hall especially considering he was still playing and had a good 5-10 years to go, baring injury of course. Apparently being a shoe in to the Hall of Fame was not good enough for this FUCKER. Nope, not the Anti-Christ. He sees other players getting records and taking the spotlight off of him so he decides he NEEDS to take roids and start breaking records. After getting caught, the Anti-Christ claims to not have known about any illegal activity and totally denies EVER to have taken any form of roids. WHAT A STUPID FUCKING LIAR. The Anti-Christ used to be solidly built, nothing spectacular, but had good power and was quick. Now it has ballooned into a ginormously large head and neck and bulked up faster than humanly possible. Injuries were just shaken off until it had to pretend it wasn't using anymore. Once the body was off the junk the injuries lingered. Make no mistake, the Anti-Christ went from a great, maybe one of the greatest, baseball player to a junkie has been that only the stupid fuckers of San Francisco can stand. It can still hit the ball and will eventually break the most hallowed record in the books, if it can find the record underneath the Hershey stain it has left on the book, unless it suffers a career-ending injury (PLEASE INJURE THIS STUPID FUCKER). I have no problem with the record getting broken that is what happens to records, but I have a problem with the Anti-Christ breaking it. STUPID FUCKER!
2-We go from the most disrespectful baseball player to the most disrespectful football player. Terrell Owens is a loud, obnoxious, stupid fucking wide receiver that only cares about what he is getting out of any situation regardless of the consequences to the people around him. He admittedly falls asleep in team meetings, doesn't show up for practice, alligator arms passes thrown to him if he doesn't drop the pass outright. His rise to "Stupid Fucker" status was complete when he spit in the face of DeAngelo Hall, my boy from Virginia Tech. How disrespectful and uncaring about another human being can you be? To top things off after admitting that he committed the act, he then realizes it was not caught on tape so he denied it the next day. What a piece of work this stupid fucker is. Owens does not respect anybody (player, coach, ex-player, regular person, fan, etc....) and cares not what harm his actions could cause anybody, except himself. He just wants to be in the spotlight, whether that is positive or negative, he doesn't care. As long as no-one forgets him or gets more headlines than him he is happy. STUPID FUCKER!
3-Justin, Justin, Justin....what the fuck were you thinking? Another good example of a world class athlete that for some stupid reason feels the need to take a performance enhancer. In May of 2006 Justin Gatlin ran the fastest time in history in the 100m dash----9.77 seconds. WOW! WAIT!!!!!!!!!! He tested positive for testosterone on April 22nd, 2006 and ended up with an 8 year ban. What the fuck?!? Are any of the records in sports not drug-enhanced? I was ecstatic when Justin won the 100m dash at the Olympic Games in Athens. Now I am just disappointed and confused as to why he would do something like this. STUPID FUCKER!
4-The Tour de France is probably the most gruelling race of any kind in sports. To win this race is an achievement that a person should be extremely proud of. Winning it more than once is just incredible. Only 18 cyclists have ever won the race more than once. Only the last 2 (Armstrong 7 times and Landis in 2006) have been accused of doping. I say strip them both of their titles (all of them) and give it to the next person in line that didn't dope. Fuck 'em all for doping. Strip this prominent title away from the cheaters that didn't earn it and give it to the rightful winners whoever they may be. STUPID FUCKERS!
5-Jim Tressell is a great football coach. He is also an idiot. After voting in and influencing the polls for the first 14 weeks of the college football season, ol' Jimbo here decides that his vote would not be missed in the final poll (the one that publishes the coaches vote's) and does not complete his. He based this decision on not wanting to influence who his team played in the national championship game. Well dumbass you have already done that by voting in the previous 14. I think he just didn't want people to see which team he was afraid of facing in the national championship game. I hope Florida kicks Ohio State's ass. Ohio State should just hide behind their coach and stay in Ohio in the pit of cowardice their coach has dug for them. STUPID FUCKER!
6-So Brady "Crybaby" Quinn thinks the critics are giving the Notre Dame football program an unfair rap. He is tired of the criticism from the media and doesn't like hearing all the critics say how much his team stinks. Well miss Quinn it is time to shit or get off the pot. You have one game to prove that your team is even remotely good. #4 LSU is all that stands between you and being the #1 pick in next years NFL draft (although I would put you as a mid-late first rounder personally). Beat #4 LSU and the fact you played like a huge pile of elephant shit in the only two games against good teams (Michigan and USC) will disappear. Make sure you change your diaper before you take the field against LSU or you will be swimming in shit yet again. STUPID FUCKER!
7-The contracts that have been handed out to mediocre players this off-season is ludicrous. Give the owners and GM's some money to play with and they will spend every dime of it on players that should be making half as much. I mean come on $10M- Gary Matthews Jr, $11M- Ted Lilly and Gil Meche, $16M-The Anti-Christ, $16+M- Jason Schmidt, $16.6M- Carlos Lee, $16M- Andy Pettite, $8.8M-Juan Pierre, $17M-Alfonso Soriano, $9M-Frank Thomas, $9.5M-Jim Edmonds, $9.25M-Nomar Garciaparra, $10.5M-Tom Glavine, $14.6M-Aramis Ramirez to name some. These contracts are out of this world. All of these players are aging or injury prone and are going to have a hard time living up to these contracts. I bet in 2-3 years we see most if not all of these contracts on the trading block. Show some restraint owners/GMs. The fans want to win, but not at the cost of the future of their team. STUPID FUCKERS!
8-The BCS System is terrible yet again this year. Although this year the computers are not to blame. This year we can thank the coaches and media for the controversy. Michigan or Florida? Who knows, I agree with Florida getting their shot, but you could make a good argument for Michigan as well, their only loss came AT Ohio State and that by only three points. Florida lost to then #11 Auburn, a bitter rival. Other than that one game, they won every SEC game they played, including the championship. They beat LSU, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Some say the National Champion needs to win their conference/conference championship game. I agree with that--winning their conference should be a requirement. I also think that the Coaches poll should publish the way a coach votes for the entire year (not just the last week). This would prevent coaches from changing their votes for no apparent reason for the last poll. If their vote's are published they could be called out as to why they moved a team above another one. STUPID FUCKING SYSTEM!
9-Way to use your head asshole! Zinedine Zidane, for those of you who do not follow soccer, decided that trash talking against his family, friends, fans, dog, cat, french teacher, etc... was punishable with a head butt directly to the sternum of Italian player Marco Materazzi. This could have seriously injured Marco, but whether or not Marco got injured is not the reason Zizou made this list. Zizou is regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time. He was always considered a fair player and won FIFA World Player of the Year a record tying 3 times. Real Madrid paid an astounding 66M Euros in a transfer fee to get him to their team. No other transfer fee in history has come close to this sum. So why would he jeopardize such an astonishing career by getting red-carded in the final match (the WORLD CUP FINAL at that) of his storied career for head-butting another player? Good question and as far as I am concerned there is no good answer. He should have let whatever was said go and finish the match. France ended up losing that match to Italy. Largely in part to the fact that their best player and spiritual leader was not on the pitch. STUPID FUCKER!
10-The Houston Texans are complete idiots for not taking Reggie Bush as the #1 pick in last year's NFL draft. Not that Mario Williams is a bad player, but he is not the impact player that Reggie is. Reggie is an all around player that would have brought a new dimension to the Texans offense. At least he would have been a great outlet for David Carr to dump the ball off to before he got plastered into the turf. The Texans would rather see Carr looking to the sky (sacked and on his back)than provide him with serious offensive threat. Good thing they still suck so they can maybe get a lesser player with their first round pick this year. STUPID FUCKERS!
Well, there you have it, the 10 stupidest fuckers in the world of sports, as far as I am concerned, for this year. GO VIRGINIA TECH!!!!!

The Pioneer, The Owner
Today is a sad day for professional football fans around the globe. Lamar Hunt lost his battle with bladder cancer last night at the young age of 74. Lamar Hunt was the man who named the super bowl, the Super Bowl. He was the major founder of the original AFL and the most influential person involved in joining the AFL and the NFL into one league, a great pioneer that made football the game it is today. He cared more about competition than winning (although he wanted to win) and fought for changes until he passed on. He was responsible for the 2-point conversion being added to the NFL game, had a huge hand in the instant replay process and fought for years to get another Thanksgiving game (not in Detroit or Dallas) to be added to the Thanksgiving Day schedule. Unfortunately the year his idea finally came to fruition (with his beloved Chiefs playing in it) he was unable to attend or even watch as he was in the hospital fighting for his life. He was a very personnel centered owner, he even had his home number listed in the Dallas white pages, and was liked by everyone in the football world. He was the only owner the Chiefs have ever had and will be missed by both his family, the Chiefs organization, and football fans worldwide. Thank you Lamar for making football the greatest sport in the world, we will miss you.
