Lurking just beneath the surface

This is the year of the New England Patriot make no mistake about but I think the Colts deserve some love for the season they've had. Think about people left them for dead after Dwight Freeny got hurt but they continue to plug along the way they have for the last few years and I think that's just the way they like it. With all of the injuries they've had this season I think it would have been an accomplishment for them to finish 11-5 or 10-6 or something like that but if they beat the Titans next week the Colts will end their season 14-2 and there is no doubt in my mind that they are the second best team in football right now. If the Patriots weren't on the verge of making history then people would be talking about Tony Dungy for coach of the year and Peyton Manning would at least be considered for another MVP award. The Chargers have lots of talent but they still haven't proven themselves in the playoffs so they aren't the second most dangerous team going into the playoffs. That title belongs to the defending world champion Colts who are lurking just beneath the surface ready to strike at any time.

Lebron James

This is the NBA and It's still very early in the season. If you are injured in anyway this is the time of the year where you try and heal before the season progresses and you must play. I truly believe that Lebron would have been playing if he was healthy and if it was later in the season and the games were more important he would have played through the injury. Lebron has got to be frustrated that the Cavs have done absolutely nothing to improve the team that he has around them but there's not much he can do about that now. I'm sure he's let management know his feelings on this issue so there's no need for him to protest management not getting him the players he wants by sitting out five games. I really don't think he's that kind of player. He won't sit out too many games because he knows it would hurt the team. The Cavs are really nothing without Lebron so he needs to be out there. And Cavs Management needs to do something to help him because he can't do it all himself.

Visions of 1984

The Detroit Tigers just pulled off one of the best baseball trades in years by getting Miguel Caberra and Dontrelle Willis from the Marlins. When you add these guys to the talent the Tigers already had, you have one of the best teams in the American League. I don't think the Red Sox should be printing those World Series tickets just yet, because the Tigers are right there with them. I used to live in Miami and I've watched the Marlins a lot over the last few years so I've seen what kind of player Miguel Caberra is, the Tigers are getting one of the finest hitters in all of baseball, and the best part is he will just get better. A lot has been made of his weight gain in the last couple of seasons but look at the numbers he's put up when he's heavy and imagine what he'll do if he gets back into shape. Dontrelle Willis is going to flourish in Detroit, you have to remember that he's been counted on to be the ace of the Marlins staff since Josh Beckett and Brad Penny were traded and I think he's put too much pressure on himself to carry the team. In Detroit he won't have to worry about carrying the staff so he can just go out and pitch every day. I don't think there's been a player since Kirby Puckett who plays every day with the type of enthusiasm that Dontrelle does he's a joy to watch and the fans in Detroit are going to love him. The last time the Tigers had a team like this was when Van Halen was at the height of its popularity and Eddie Murphy starred in Beverly Hills Cop. Yep, I'm talking about 1984 people.

B.C.S.= B.S.

Such an exciting season comes down to a very ho-hum championship game. I think LSU is a very good team but I don't think they deserve to play in the championship game, I think that honor should have belonged to Oklahoma who just beat the team that was ranked No. 1 at the time by more than two touchdowns for the second time in the season. I'm very much in favor of a playoff system even though that will most likely never happen. I think this system is really just a bunch of crap. The decision on who gets into the Championship game is as political as it ever was no matter what kind of computer system you create for it. Could someone anyone tell me how the 2004 Auburn Tigers could go undefeated playing in the S.E.C. and be left out of the Championship while L.SU. gets into this year's game with two losses because they played a tough S.E.C. That kind of double standard makes me want to spit on the people who run college football. I believe college football should get rid of the B.C.S. and just go back to deciding the championship based on the rankings in the two polls. That way Auburn would have gotten a share of the National Championship in 2004. That system was much fairer than the B.C.S.

No Chance?

It's been going on all day today, I've heard every college football analyst proclaim Pittsburgh has NO chance to beat West Virginia, Kirk Herbstreit thought West Virginia could by fifty points. I'm so happy to say that Pittsburgh won the game it really made my day. I have nothing against West Virginia they are a good football team but when a bunch of analysts say a game is an absolute 110% lock I love to see the underdog kick ass. If you have a pulse and have been covering this season and you say that any game is an absolute lock you have to be absolutely crazy or just plain stupid. The team that has been ranked second has lost their next game for the last several weeks so what does that tell you? No team is safe, any team can lose to anyone at any time. Congratulations to Pittsburgh what a great victory. I would also respectfully suggest that every single college football analyst that works for ESPN should find a new line of work because you have no idea what you are talking about.
