Then there were two: Championship Weekend Recap
So it has been a long, and surprising season, but we are finally down to the final two teams who will battle for the Lombardi Trophy. Championship Sunday was quite a memorable one, with both games coming down to the final plays. It has been a while since we have a blowout in the Conference Championship, as you would have to go back to the Bears beating the Saints 39-14 back in January of...

Championship Sunday: Wait I thought the Pats and...
Everybody is so hyped on the Super Bowl 42 rematch, which has seemed to sway a lot of people are picking. Don’t get me wrong, the Pats demolished the Broncos and the Giants did handle the 15-1 Packers. But these are going to be two hard fought games, and nothing looks for certain. I expect some close low scoring games, and the winners will truly be worthy of a trip to Indy.

Divisional Round Wrap up: an early 90's NFC Title...
What a weekend of football in the NFC. Saturday brought us one of the more memorable games in playoff history when the Niners outscored the Saints, and Sunday brought an end to the defending champs hope at repeating. After week 1, it was all about the hype for a Saints/Packers rematch in the playoffs and it was all but certain one of these teams would represent the NFC in Indy. But someone forgot...

Divisional Playoff Preview/Wild Card Recap!!!
This week, the theme of the divisional playoffs is defense. Can the Broncos slow down Tom Brady enough to keep it close? Can the 49ers shut down the insanely on fire Drew Brees? How about the Giants, can they figure out a way to knock out the defending champions? Then we have the Ravens and Texans, a game that is getting little hype but should be a defensive slug fest. I am looking forward to this...

Week 15 Recap: AFC North Powers ran into lighting...
The week ended in the city by the bay, and AFC North powers Pittsburgh and Baltimore managed to take a beating on national television. It started Sunday night in San Diego, where the Chargers scored on their first five possessions of the game en route to a 34-14 win on Sunday night. The Ravens offense could not get out of their own way, and Flacco did not look good in the loss for a team that was...

Week 14 Recap: Its been a while
It has been too long, and I apologize about that. Between a new job and moving home to San Diego things have been a little hectic so let me catch you up on what you missed in my football adventures:
Went to my first Chargers/Raiders game in Oakland south, and that was an interesting experience. The loss sucked, and the trash talking Raider fans on the trolley after sucked worse. Yes, I did wear a...

Pick 3
Using my iPhone makes it hard to get fancy with this weeks picks, so it will be short and sweet. So here we go:
Lock of the Week
Dallas over Washington
The Cowboys have found their stride, and Washington is a mess at QB. All Romo does is win in November, and that is not about to change.
Cowboys win. 28-13
Upset of the Week
Tampa Bay over Green Bay
The Packers have to deal with the...

Week 8 Pick 3
It is time for another glorious Sunday of football, and it is a relaxing one for me. Only a few times a year is this the case, and it is because the Chargers play Monday Night. I always approach these days more relaxed, because I know a heart attack isn’t coming.
This Sunday does not have a ton of marquee matchups, but we should see some pretty competitive games. With that said, lets Pick...

Week 6 Recap: HANDSHAKE HANDSHAKE HANDSHAKE
When two teams with a combined two losses play, the story should actually involve the game and maybe the players that took part. But this Sunday everything was overshadowed by a :20 span after the final whistle.
The San Francisco 49ers just pulled off a 25-19 win, and knocked the Detroit Lions from the ranks of the unbeaten. Niners coach Jim Harbaugh could have been confused for a player...

Sundays Pick 3
After last weeks 3-0 start, I am starting to like this. I don’t say this very often, but that Raiders win Sunday made me feel good. They did what I thought they would, and that was beat down Mark Sanchez and the Jets.
That is enough positive about the Raiders, let’s take a look at three games!!!!

This week I like the Packers over the Broncos as the lock of the week....
NLDS Preview: Don't rain on our parade.
The senior circuit kicks off their divisional round match ups today, and hopefully no one gets rained out. I still can’t understand the logic of Major League baseball starting the playoffs in October, and why they do not better prepare for this. There was a time when the World Series would have been played by now, which is how it should be. With Bud Selig adding addtional wild card teams...

ALDS Preview: Can it get any better then...
After what was the craziest end to a season that I can remember, playoff baseball kicks off tonight with the last 4 American League teams battling it out represent the league in the World Series. This field has 4 of the past 5 champions of the American League, with the other team being eliminated on the final day of the season. With that being said lets look at the match ups:

Week 3 Recap: Tony Romo, the endless debate
It is funny how everyone treats Tony Romo. I mean one week he is a choke artist (Week1), then he is the toughest QB in the league (Week 2), and now he is a 4th quarter QB (Week 3). Ever since the missed hold in Seattle Romo has been put under a microscope each and every week.
The Cowboys squeaked out an 18-16 victory Monday night and handed the Redskins their first loss of the season. Even...

How do I start?
What a tremendous night of baseball, and what a magical way to end the 2011 regular season. When the day started we had 4 teams battling for two spots, with ties atop the NL and AL Wild Card standings. There were a few different scenarios, but no one could have predicted how it unfolded…
It started in Atlanta, where the Braves were facing the NL East champions Phillies. The...

Sundays Pick 3
So gonna try to start putting together a Sunday morning post where I give you 3 games: a lock of the week, upset of the week and a game to watch. With that said, lets get to it!
Lock of the Week
This week I like the Steelers on the road against a Colts team that is just not the same without Peyton and his massive forehead. The Steelers offense should find its groove today and Big Ben will have...

NFL Week 2 Recap: Vick might think the Eagles won...
On Sunday night it was all about Mike Vick and his return to the place where he became a household name, and when the clock hit zero it was still about Mike Vick. But this time it was his health that was being talked about not his play on the field. Vick was injured in the second half with his Eagles controlling the Falcons throughout the game. Mat Ryan and Atlanta took advantage of the Vick...

Week 1 Recap: Itssss baaackk!
We are only one week into the 2011 NFL season, and already we have so many questions. It was an exciting weekend of action, which started with a dramatic Packers win and ended with the Raiders holding on in a battle in Denver. We saw records set and have already seen some players seasons end. With all that said, lets take a look at the top stories coming out of Week 1:
Hey everybody, maybe Cam...

Week 1 is here, Week 1 is here!!!!!!
The season is officially underway, and boy did it started out with a bang! The defending champs welcomed the Saints to historic Lambeau Field and narrowly pulled out the victory 42-34. Two of the best QBs in the league showed us why they are thought so highly of, and the defenses must have decided to take a Week 1 bye. The game came down to one final play, and the water cooler talk circled around...

NBA Finals Preview
So a season that started with ESPN all up on Miami’s jock is going to end the same way.
The Heat went into beast mode down the stretch and punched their ticket to the NBA Finals after storming back down 12 in the final minutes. So we now have a rematch of the 2006 Finals, but most of the pieces for each team are fairly new.
Both teams enter the NBA Finals after winning their respective...
