Who cares that a Super Bowl, and a BCS National Championship has been played. I am back and I have some stuff on my mind to release, especially given some of the current happenings in the NFL - hello Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito. I've been sitting on this long enough and now it's time to get some stuff off of my chest.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Lets start with my NFL Top 10.</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Looking at the NFL for 10 weeks we definitely have some very good clarity of who is doing what: who has developed as the Alpha Dog and who may be a pretender.<br />
<br />
One question about the season is whether a the league is so competitive that there is a log jam in the middle of the pack or is there just some bad football going on. For example, the NFC East. This division was hailed to be the SEC of the NFL - 4 teams who were all good and going to contend for a playoff spot. The only thing that has transpired in all the things said regarding the NFC East is that all the teams are still in the playoff hunt, but only because the football played in that division has been awful. Every QB in that division has been like a train wreck.<br />
<br />
<b> Eli </b>came out the gate floundering with 3 picks against Dallas in a prime time Sunday night game and to this date has thrown 11 TD's and 16 interceptions<br />
<br />
<b>Romo</b>, is well, Romo - inconsistent and still making mistakes in crunch time (I say this despite the fact that I own him in my Fantasy league in which I am in first place).<br />
<br />
<b>Robert Griffin III</b> has been a disappointment. Some of it due to coming back too early after an injury and due also to the fact that, in my opinion, he just isn't as good as people think. It is a well known fact that it takes D-Coordinators a year to figure something out and it seems like some teams have figured out how to defend guys like Griffin and Kaepernick, just as they did with Cam Newton last year. This isn't college where you may know how to defend a team like Oregon, but you just don't have the athletes to match up to the speed of the offense. This is the NFL and, more than likely, everybody can run. As a side note, I was watching how those DE's from Carolina played and defended against Kaepernick on Sunday and you begin to realize how special the NFL is with respects to size and speed.<br />
<br />
<b>Michael Vick</b> started off hot and it looked like he and the Eagles offense were on it's way to setting every offensive statistical record the NFL has. Well, those smart D-Coordinators figured it out and they played some teams with some very good defenders and they struggled a little. They have picked up their offensive play recently with Nick Foles but their offense just doesn't scare anyone like it did after that first week.<br />

style="cursor: move;" unselectable="on" /></a>I would like to believe that the league, in general, is so competitive that there are a bunch of 5-5 and 4-6 temas because everyone is just beating the crap out of each other and the NFL motto of, "Any Given Sunday' has never been more accurate. But in the end, there has been some Gawd-Awful teams, some extremely bad QB'ing and just awful fundamentals.<br />
<br />
In the end, there are just a few Alpha's playing and when you really narrow it down, maybe only 1. With this said, here is Uncle B's NFL top 10<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Seattle Seahawks 9-1 </b>- The true Alpha. A very aggressive D, a good QB on the rise, and the most ugliest running back ever, This is a team that can travel and play with anyone and under any circumstances. But the thing about this team, is how much fun they have while playing. Pete Carroll really has this team believing that they are the team to beat. All of their wins will not be pretty but in the end, they will force their will on their opposition. Heaven forbid that the NFC runs through Seattle - You can pencil them in to represent the NFC in February.<br />

<b>2. Denver 8-1.</b> I was mocked by my buddy Brien after I choose Peyton "the Sheriff' Manning in the first round of our Fantasy draft. Well guess who is laughing now? Peyton is surrounded by a plethora of skilled talent on offense and they can ring up points at will. The problem is that skill positions alone will not make for a championship. Denver's O-Line must improve. Whenever Denver faces a defense with a good pass rusher(s) they struggle offensively - check the Indy game. This weeks game against KC will see how well this line has progressed since their loss to Indy where Peyton was hurried and harassed regularly.<br />

<b>3. Kansas City 9-0.</b> The only undefeated team left in the NFL, but I place them 3rd. Why? Two words: Alex Smith. I think Smith is a serviceable QB, but I just do not trust him. The KC defense can be menacing and they have good special teams but for some reason Alex Smith in the pilots seat doesn't sit well with me. Obviously, we will have a clearer view of KC after this weeks game. The thing to watch is whether Andy Reid reverts back to being the throw first, run later coach he has exhibited in big games, or will he lean on that running game to balance out a weak passing game.<br />

<b>4. New Orleans 7-2</b>. 40 First downs? WTF. That's insane, but that is what Drew Brees is capable of - IN THE CONFINES OF THE SUPER DOME. The Saints are much improved on defense and carry a very different type of swagger in to games now, BUT, can we trust this defense to make stops, especially against the run, in a tight game, on the road, when the offense is struggling,. in the playoffs? That the first issue with the Saints. The second is, will Sean Payton try to force Brees to win a playoff game when the offensive rythem is off? The two losses this year came when the Saints could not score 35 points and go up and down the field at will and could not get a running game going when needed. Sunday night was a huge step in the right direction.<br />

<b>5. New England 7-2</b>. Though they beat the Saints in Foxborough, I am still not a believer in this years Patriots. The only thing I do know about the Pats, is that they have, in my mind, one of the greatest coaches ever and they will get progressively better as the year goes on. How much better i don't know.<br />

<b>6. San Francisco 6-3.</b> the 49ers three losses have come against some of the NFL's so-called elite ( Seattle (Alpha), Indy and Carolina) which they shouldn't be ashamed of. The problem is that two of those losses have come at home. And in those three losses, the 49ers offense has scored just 19 points TOTAL. That's 6 points a game. This is a team who wants to put the game in their QB's hand more, but what they must realize is that the thing that made Kaepernick a star was the running game. They must get back to their hard nosed running game with Frank Gore to get themselves back on track - nothing like the New Orleans Saints defense to jumpstart your rushing attack.<br />

<b>7. Detroit 6-3</b>. This is the point we start getting to the average good teams and where best to start than Detroit. Obviously having Mega-Tron as your star will always make your offense deadly, and Matthew Stafford is leading the NFL's 3rd ranked passing offense. By throwing in a healthy Reggie Bush, this offense can be as explosive as any. Obviously the issue isn't with the offense, but with their horrific 27th ranked pass defense which has been torched all year. In order to compete with the top 5, they will definitely have to tighten this up.<br />

<b>8. Cincinnati 6-4.</b> I'm a Marvin Lewis fan and want to see him succeed. The Bengals have one of the best defenses in the NFL (7th vs the Pass & 9th vs the run). They even boast on of the best up & coming QB's in andy Dalton and maybe the 2nd best NFL receiver in A.J Green. So what's the issue? They do not close temas out. They have lost the last two games in overtime and almost lost another against the lowly Bills in overtime. That's three overtime games which tell me either they are not finishing teams out or playing lax at the beginning of a game and playing catch up. They have lost four games by a total of 19 points. Though they are not elite, they could easily be 8-2 with some momentum, instead of 6-4 heading in to a division game against the Browns who physically beat them down earlier this year.<br />

<b>9. Carolina 6-3.</b> After a 1-3 start, the Panthers have reeled off 5 straight wins while scoring 30 plus points in all but one of them. They went on the road, and physically beat the 49ers. In addition, during this streak, they have given up only 11 points a game. Obviously the Panthers go as Cam Newton goes and he has been very good during this winning streak by completing 67% of his passes while tossing 7 TD's and 3 picks. If Newton can keep his mistakes to a minimum the Panthers will definitely be a handful to deal with.<br />

<b>10. Indianapolis 6-3</b>. I can live with a good team taking an L. No team can win every game. I can even stand a good team taking an L to a lesser opponent. Those things happen. But the way they showed up, or didn't show up, against the Rams, at home, in a game that would keep them in prime position to get that #2 seed in the AFC and a bye, was disturbing.<br />

<br />
Since the news broke last Friday about the Saints and the 'so-called' bounty program, I've just been sitting back, gathering thoughts and listening what both former players and those who have very little understanding of the workings of professional sports - WHICH IS MOST OF THE MEDIA. I've listened to call-in shows and watched media do interviews on the street with fans. Now it's time for me to say a few words on the issue.<br />
<br />
First of all, let me be transparent: I am a Saints fan and also have played football on a high level. I am in my 40's so my perspective is going to be a little different from this soft world we live in. Now, with that said, I will try to be as unbiased as possible in my thoughts regarding this issue.<br />
<br />
First let me get this out the way, I hate the word bounty. Sounds very sinister and governmental. In addition, if you want to look at the true meaning of the word, it can mean to kill. That's pretty brutal and cold hearted. I will talk a little more about the nature of football....or what it used to be shortly. For now, I will call it a 'Pain Program'. I will venture to say that 100% of this pain money was not for the intention to severely injure, or end another players career. Even the Oakland Raiders of the 70's and 80's didn't look to take another player out for their career. As much as people would like to believe that Jack Tatum intended to paralyze Darryl Stingley on that infamous hit few people have actually seen, the hit was legal and within the rules. Also, let me make this clear, IT WAS JACK TATUM'S JOB TO MAKE A RECEIVER PAY FOR COMING ACROSS THE MIDDLE TO CATCH A PASS.<br />
<img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/492/870/6a00d8341ccad453ef0133f2a1490b970b-800wi_display_image.gif?1289278510" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="149" /><br />
<br />
<br />
In fact, as the story goes., Al Davis drafted Tatum for that specific reason. Al was said to be disgusted by teams in his division running and completing 20-25 yard deep in routes. Well, Jack put an end to that real quick. You ran that route at your own risk against the Raiders. Were there instances of the Raiders playing dirty? Yes!. The NFL even changed the rules due to a lot of the their style of play in order to penalize dirty play.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
What was not changed was that Football, AT EVERY LEVEL, is about ENFORCING YOUR WILL on another player until you totally break their will. Hitting them extremely hard until either they are too soft physically to play anymore or they stay in the game, but are too mentally weak and they hide from the physical nature of the game. That's football in its simplest form, from Pop Warner to the NFL. <br />
 <br />

</tbody></table> You want your opponent to leave the field both physically and mentally humiliated. Remember the old line from Denzel in Remember the Titans when he yelled, 'make sure they always remember the night they played the Titans'. What do you think he was talking about? He even went as far to say that the opposing team better not get another first down. In order for that to happen, a team must be in a total 'fly around the football', disregard for their own bodies and most of all, disregard for the other team mentality. That means to physically abuse the other team. And if someone gets carted off in the process, IT'S PART OF THE GAME. <br />

We were taught to tackle by running trough the ball carrier and we were taught to block by running through a defender. As a running back, we were taught to run through the tackler. If you are not in full speed mode in football you will get hurt, BUT also, you WILL hurt somebody in the process. As an ex free safety I looked up to Ronnie Lott and Dennis Smith as the guys who I wanted to emulate. They hit you hard so that you felt it and hit you hard enough, that your wind is just squirting out of you like air out of a balloon when squeezed. That flush hit. Heck yeah baby.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, with the desire to knock the crap out of people comes joy. Let me take the media out of the situation and keep it to the players. When you get a big lick on a guy and he is laid flat out you look forward to seeing that in the film room the next day. The coach or player who has the clicker, keeps hitting rewind about 10 times before you watch the next play. Your teammates, who you are really playing for (sorry fans and media, players don't give a crap about you), jump up on the sidelines and congratulate you when you get that big hit. Some teams used to give out the big hit of the week award as long as it was clean. You would get a gift card to a restaurant or to a spa so that your wife./girlfriend could go. It's just how it works.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>THE UNWRITTEN CODE OF FOOTBALL:</u></strong><br />
<br />
As a true player, you don't mind playing against good players but there are a few types of guys who get 'special attention' on the football field:<br />
<br />
1. <u>The prima donna QB</u>. Always a target to get his butt spanked and abused when given a chance. With the rules basically placing the red, no-touch jersey on the QB, if you can get to them, you try to drive them in to the ground with extreme force. And heaven forbid he throws a pic......oh my.<br />
 <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="240" id="il_fi" src="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Sports/images/tom-brady-pretty.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Definitely going after him with bad intentions</td></tr>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Scat-back running back. Think of the Reggie Bush, pretty boy type. The back who is quick and fast and always seems to sneak out of bounce before you can get a good lick on them. Hey, it's not their fault they are quick, but he will definitely be a target on the field.<br />
<br />
3. The prima donna wide out. The Chad Johnson's and Terrell Owens' of the NFL are always targets to be 'taken out' or in players term, 'to shut them up'. League rules have now given these types of guys freedom to catch passes AND not be hit, that when a defender gets a chance to hit them, defenseless or not, they will run trough them when possible.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You don't think players want to be the one standing over Hines </td></tr>
</tbody></table> 4. Any dirty player. How long have people been trying to take out Hines Ward. As we saw this year against Baltimore, someone has been waiting to give him the same medicine he's been dishing out. They knocked Hines silly in that game and every player on Baltimore's sideline cheered at the hit. It was vicious and legal. <br />
<br />
The type of players mentioned above, will get talked about a lot leading up to a game by the opposition. No player wants to be embarrassed on the field and these guys know, especially now that every thing is reported in the media, what other players do. If a receiver likes to do the salsa after touchdowns, other players know it and they do not want to be the team that he does it on. What do you think the team talks about during the week? Dancing with him? And football isn't the only sport. You don't think there were pain contracts on MJ when he came in to the NBA? Ask him about the so-called Jordan Rules that the Detroit Pistons used back in the 80's and 90's. Do you think that it was a pure defensive strategy? All Chuck Daley probably said was, every time he goes to the basket make him pay. Is this monetary pay? Think again my friend. This was about inflicting Jordan with enough pain that he would become a jump shot player. If they break his nose or blacken his eye in the process.....oh well.<br />
 <br />

</tbody></table> <br />
<br />
<u>THE CASH.</u><br />
<br />
I hate these idiots using the play for pay statement. It's the NFL, THEY ALREADY PLAY TO GET PAID. And they get paid well. Do you think $2,000 is going to make a difference to these guys. That's literally pocket cash to these guys. Even an undrafted rookie makes a minimum of $375,000. Do you think even he is driven by an extra couple of grand. Maybe start upping that to $10-20,000 and guys start really caring, but how big a game would that have to be for that type of money to be offered for a play. And trust me, that play would have to change the complexity of the entire game. An example of that is the hit Kurt Warner took when he played the Saint's during the playoffs during the 2009 season. That changed the game and yes, I hope some cash was dolled out. It was legal as heck and as much as I like Warner and respect him as a man of God, he shouldn't have thrown the pic, and most of all, he knows the rule with defenders after an interception which is to look for the QB or a dude like T.O to hopefully get a good hit on. <br />
<br />
These guys don't get off on the money, it's the fact that they did what it took to get it: that's the high. What's the difference in that example and a manager going to a sales force and telling them if you guys hit this number we all will take off tomorrow, or if a sales guy brings in X amount of dollars, you get two days of 'free' vacation. No difference in my book shorty. <br />
<br />
So as you can tell, I can care less that friendly bets or rewards were made for big hits and hitting a guy so hard that they leave the game. It happens with interceptions, fumbles, sacks, etc. It's done on every team, and in every league that has a level of physicallity. What worries me is that the league is now suddenly all stunned and alarmed. Are you kidding me? Really? You had no idea that any of this was going on? It's just another way players feed off the fact that this is a physical game and it is feast or famine. As a football player from birth you learn certain rules: Keep your head on a swivel, don't stand around piles, play till the whistle is blown. There are many unwritten rules or laws that you must abide by in the NFL because if you don't, you will be taken out eventually. In addition, as a player, you know that if given the opportunity to get a big hit on you by the opposition, its lights out baby. Nothing personal. Just Business.<br />
<br />
The league is definitely changing and not for the good. Yes, the protection of players will always be important but the commissioner has done a bad job of keeping the game of football what it stands for: FORCING YOUR WILL. What's next to destroy this game I don't know but it feels that we are heading towards flag football in the future. <br />
<br />
Now that you know where I stand, I will give you the biggest disappointment, in my mind, of this whole Saint's issue: SOMEBODY RATTED.<br />
<img alt="" class="rg_hi" data-height="144" data-width="140" height="144" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQliD4ofSk5RS3H_G3swz0rN_Z9Y2H0StG-s6VLip-Lf1c9cpUlWA" style="height: 144px; width: 140px;" width="140" /><br />
<br />
<br />
That's the dude, not Gregg Williams, Sean Payton or any players, who should have his butt whipped. This person is not a whistle blower who uncovers something illegal like a embezzlement, or lying to a consumer, or child labor. This is a bitter dude who should have kept his mouth shut. Yes, NFL is a male fraternity and one of it's main rule is, 'what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room'. You don't go home running your mouth to your wife or girlfriends or especially the media about anything that happened in the locker room. I've seen an instance where a brother got his butt kicked for that transgression. Thats one of the things about the new breed of NFL players, or this whole generation in general, that is really bad, which is the need to let everyone know everything. Not everything needs to be shared with the public and this Pain Program was was one of them. <br />
<br />
More disgusting is individuals like Coy Wire who feel the need to get their last 5 minutes of fame by plastering his face all over the national media telling his story. Also, others, like Steve Young, have chimed in about their total shock and disgust at the report. Pretty well expected from a QB. What I do like is how Brett Favre, a target of the so-called bounty, and Michael Vick, who both said they are ok with being targeted and that they know it's just part of the game. <br />
<br />
Lastly, the media should be taken behind the woodshed for their coverage of the investigation and how they are comparing it to the spying that the Patriots did. Really? That conversation is for a different time.<br />
<br />
Here is what I do know: Football, until they get out the flags and take off the pads, will always be a man's game and a game of physicality. Big men run full speed at each other. Some of them, like my old friend Howard Ballard, could separate the nastiness of the game from doing a job. But for others, its a game of busting somebody up. As long as there are Southern brothers playing, it always will be that type of game - you know I had to sneak that in.<br />

I do like some of the rule changes which protect the players and also those which allow for the refs to make better calls and have them not be the deciding factor in a game. I like the stance that the league is taking: The Eye in the Sky don't Lie. <br />

Though I believe in the safety of the players, I think they have gone too far in protecting them. When I played the violent nature of the game was accepted as being part of it. There were guys who got crippled or paralyzed playing but what are the chances of that happening to one player during the course of your playing days. Even if you only play high school football and you start, you may play 30-40 snaps a game. Multiply that by 10 and then multiply that by the number of kids playing high school foot ball. Now check to see how many people were paralyzed during one year. I would bet that the probability of getting paralyzed while playing high school football is under 1%. I don't think most ball players who play football truly think about being paralyzed or severely injured while playing. We all accepted that risk while playing, if you played scared you will either ultimately end up hurt, get someone else hurt, or both. I do think the better equipment, especially helmets, have done wonders in helping to cushion some of the blows sustained during football.<br />
<br />

<br />
Equipment alone does not fully protect players from sustaining concussions and this is where the NFL stepped in to attempt to remedy the possibility of head trauma. They are now penalizing for helmet to helmet tackles as well as hitting a defenseless receiver. These two rules, in addition to protecting the QB rules, are really awful.<br />
<br />
Here is my problem with it: You are going to tell a huge man, who is moving at full speed to mentally stop, gauge where the offensive guy's head is and then make adjustments to how to hit him, all while making sure he protects himself? Are you kidding me. Or, with respects to the defenseless receiver rule, you're telling me that a QB throws a bad ball and WR has to jump for or stretch out to get it and the DB has a clear kill shot that he shouldn't take it? That he should wait to see if the WR catches the ball and then tackle him? Really? This is still football correct? This is still the game where the team who physically dominates another team and breaks the other teams will is the one who wins correct? Is this not the league who made a living off of selling 'Sudden Impact' and 'The NFL's Crunch Course' DVDs? I thought that you get paid more for the risks involved. If that's the case, then the players now a day are over paid. I do think that given the TV contract and merchandising money, NFL players are properly paid. They are paid what their market value signifies. But, we as fans are getting the watered down version of what a lot of us remember as football. We are being robbed. I want to see dudes get crushed and receivers get hit so hard that they have no idea where they are at. Not dirty but 'old school' legal. If the rules get any more soft we will be watching flag football in a few years. At the rate America is raising these soft boys now, flag football will be as big as ever by then.<br />
<br />
Maybe the league should put a limit on the size and speed of players to ensure that the collisions will not be as hard and you know how the league will look if that ever happened. I will leave that alone for now.<br />
<br />
Anyway, if the NFL really cared about the health of players then why don't they mandate knee, thigh and hip pads? Those aren't necessary? So let me get this straight, you don't want guys to tackle up around the head, but you would rather them to go after parts that aren't protected. <br />
<img class="rg_i" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT_1t9pB1OkyYM6LdrIFGoSyMfvtUwODtxXDkqxWSknpxL4JD7N" data-sz="f" height="171" name="b4FHiacqvYQzpM:" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT_1t9pB1OkyYM6LdrIFGoSyMfvtUwODtxXDkqxWSknpxL4JD7N" width="120" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">What's protecting his legs?</span><br />
<br />
Add to that, most times the players would have to duck their heads to make these types of tackles. Is it me, or do most of the neck injuries occur when a player ducks their head and leaves their necks exposed?<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="rg_hi" data-height="194" data-width="259" height="194" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ2neHNIbp75fTqtp7uiFZ3dfvpkhXPnFUQHvRCsoK85xzgmlSe" style="height: 194px; width: 259px;" width="259" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Does the NFL want this to be proper form?</span><br />
<br />
With all of this said, I think that some of these rules need to be looked at again and changed or eliminated totally. Why not fine the QB for throwing a pass that leads a WR exposed. I do think that the launching rule is good for protecting the players but a pure head to head is just part of the game. Get it straight NFL.<br />
<br />
One thing I liked to see this year was the emergence of the TE position and how this will totally revolutionized the game and how defenses play. Thanks to Tony Gonzales (who may have the finest, classiest wife in the NFL) and Antonio Gates, offenses are now making the TE a focal point of the passing game. The Gronk, Aaron Hernandez, Vernon Davis and Jimmy Graham are making it very difficult for defensive coordinators. <br />
<br />
<img class="rg_i" data-sz="f" height="184" name="GpUiKFyZfbwYmM:" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRpPs_OzQb9RpkGeBcUbwhtyCZB8ah3s9gGeH6CGD_Z4cgAVOqk6Q" style="margin: -9px 0px 0px;" width="183" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">And who will you have covering Vernon Davis?</span><br />
<br />
Think about it, just as the league began to draft more CB's to play safeties because of the 4 and 5 receiver offensive sets made it impossible to keep those Sean Taylor, no-covering type safety's on the field, a new problem has occurred. Introducing the 6-6 260lbs, 4.4 running behemoth. Where before hand you used to use your SS to play the TE, then they became too big for the SS so you got your best coverage LB playing them. Well, the TE's became too fast for the LB's - Vernon Davis, a 4.3 40. DB's aren't consistently running that fast. Now where do we go? Just as DE's have become hybrids so will you next LB. He will have to be 6'5 and 250lbs with the athleticism of a small forward and the speed of LaRon Landry. Just as they have turned basketball players to TE's they will have to use these same guys to play LB's and I believe there will be a market for them- 3 down linemen, 3 LB's, Hybrid Position and 4 DB's. Welcome to the new NFL. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One last note is that I was wayyyyyy off on my Superbowl pick, but there is one consolation prize: Chad Johnson did not get a ring and most of all he was a non factor. Johnson is one guy who I really don't like. Never have. I just don't like people who NEED attention and will do anything to get it. I always thought he was overrated and a loud mouth and a bad influence to our young African-American boys around the country - thanks Prime Time. So, I don't mind being wrong if that's the price.<br />

I've taken a nap and getting ready to roll. I think NBC has done a great job of the pre game. Yes it's always over the top but I like the way Dungy and Harrison has given a true superbowl perspective<br />
<br />
The TV<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="150" src="file:///C:/Users/CompUSA/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/NQPDT2M5/IMG00531-20120205-1801.jpg" width="200" /><br />
<br />
6:13 - They just introduced both teams. it's amazing how unfazed by the hype. It's all about to go down now baby<br />
<br />
6:16 - Obviously these two singers are country singers singing Oh Beautiful. Not bad though<br />
<br />
6:17 - Lets see what Kelly Clarkson can do. Awesome rendition. Lets get Al Michaels going<br />
<br />
6:19 - The Dictator preview was just shown. I will definitely be renting that when it comes out.<br />
<br />
6:21 - OK, i thought there would be no women here and I hear female voices in the kitchen. Giggling and laughing. Not what I came for. They gotta go before kickoff. <br />
<br />
6:23 - I'm trying to figure out why people do not like Chris Collinsworth. He can not be any worse than Troy Aikman. Aikman seems to have no emotion but that's just my opinion<br />
<br />
6:25 - The boys just remarked Curtis Martin looks like a little Sammy Davis Jr.<br />
<br />
6:27 - Love the pornstache that Wes Welker has going on<br />
<br />
6:32 - Looks like Eli is unphased and wants to get the ball out quick. NY;s running game has a allowed a little play action for the Giants. Even if they are unable to run, the threat is what counts<br />
<br />
6:35 - The Giants are going right at the corners for the Pats. <br />
<br />
6:37 - Belicheck is mixing in zone and man and has confused the Giants a little. NY punts on first series<br />
<br />
The Chef is cooking it up<br />
<br />

<br />
6:40 - who was the sister sitting next to Mrs Tom Brady. Forget Brady's wife , who's the sister.<br />
<br />
6:41 - Brady just panicked. Good call by the refs. I can't believe Brady was unaware of where he was.<br />
<br />
6:47 - The Giants are driving after the safety and the Pats look like their heart been taken from them. Like their whole emotional make up depended on how Brady Plays<br />
<br />
6:50 - Eli is playing tough<br />
<br />
7:04 - a very good first qtr. Brady has to get 7 out of this drive.<br />
<br />
7:06 - you ever wanted to go to the go-daddy site. Hmmm. I think I would like to do it.<br />
<br />
7:16 I love when the game is slowed down now and you have to start to playing and the emotion is stipped out<br />
<br />
7:18 - Having a discussion about why the Bills never won a superbowl. My argument was that it was Marv Levy's fault. Others thought it was the players. Having a real relationship with those teams, I can say coach's actually win the championhips and how the players respond to them during the week. The Superbowl is won during training camp. Trust me<br />
<br />
7:25 - The Pats are so out of sync both offensively and defensively. Maybe I was wrong about the momentum factor. The Giants seem as though they just believe that they sould be winning<br />
<br />
7:30 - That kicker from the Giants is the MVP right now<br />
<br />
7:49 - TD Pats. That was huge. And they get the ball back to start the 3r qtr. Notice after the touchdown how emotional Brady was. Now look at the kickoff. BAM! <br />
<br />
As a side note, the Giants have 32 minutes to sit in the locker room. How much of their confidence has been zapped from this scoring drive.<br />
<br />
ALERT ALERT ALERT SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY DANCING GIRLS WILL BE DANCING WITH MADONNA. I may have to watch halftime now baby<br />
<br />

<br />
8:18 - Madonna sucked. Old tail need to sit down with that bad lip sync job. She needs to get her but back in the church of scientology and sit down.<br />
<br />
C-lo sucks also. Not much of a fan of the crap he sings anyway.<br />
<br />
Now back to the game.<br />
<br />
THe Pats now are in ssyn and look ready to explode. If they get 7 on this first drive, it can spell doom, or it will be a scoring fest in the 2nd half<br />
<br />
8:25 - Just watched the Pats do a play action play and Piere-Paul just stopped in his tracks before rushing Brady. There is where the Pats are getting the advantage in slowing down the Giants rush<br />
<br />
8:29 - TD Pats. So I'm sitting here before the touchdown and I'm looking at the Giants D and I said, are they going to leave the middle of the field open and sure enough, Hernandez with the TD on a quick cross. <br />
<br />
NY needs a long sustained drive for 7. Need to physicall abuse the Pats D<br />
<br />
8:33 - Watching Craft give high fives is hilarious. Old white guys and high fives are so awkward. GOtta love it.<br />
<br />
8:39 - OK the fiat commercial got a rise out of the brothers. Sex sells<br />
<br />
8:43 - This gme is about to get a little interesting. Both QB's are so in tune with the game.<br />
<br />
8:45 - l love the NSX commercial with Seifeld and Leno. I wanted an NSX real bad in my 20's. It's good to see them back and re-done. You never know, I still may have the opportunity to get one.<br />
<br />
8:56 - Looking at the stats of the QB's let you know how well those defenses are playing. Both Eli and Brady has both over 100 passer rating. The defenses are tightening up at the right time to force punts<br />
<br />
9:01 - Being in Buffalo, I just saw a commercial of our local NBC affiliate ch 2. One scene of black people in a whole video. Very buffalo. They let you know what they truly feel about the black folk here<br />
<br />
9:04 - What the heck is Brady doing? Heck of a defensive play on the interception by the middle backer <br />
<br />
9:07 - The Matthew Broderick commercial was good for us old schoolers<br />
<br />
<br />
9:21 - the carreer builders commerical with the monkeys were hilarious<br />
<br />
9:22 - Brady is looking real scared. He doesnt want to step up in to the pocket and make a throw. He just looks a little frazzled. I would not be surprised if he sneaks in a couple runs so that they can get a little play action pass going. <br />
<br />
The Giants are playing real good defense and forcing Brady to not stand tall. This is obviously going to come down to the end<br />
<br />
9:31 Wes Welker dropped the ball. WOW.<br />
<br />
9:32 Ok here we go. Eli's shinning moment.<br />
<br />
9:33 Manningham what a catch. He is in. Eli said F-it. I'm going to win this thing. <br />
<br />
Ok Collingsworth needs to shut the hell up. Trying to defend Brady's throw and deflecting the cause to the WR. And now saying Manningham didn't catch the pass.<br />
<br />
9:38 SO what does NY do. Go for the FG or the TD I say go for the TD<br />
<br />
9:55 - Wow what a game. I do not mind being wrong when its a great game. Eli officially put himself in the Hall of Fame along with Coughlin.<br />
<br />
The Gronks foot just lost the game. He couldn't move to get the ball. It was there for the taking.DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-11498353678318256642012-02-05T03:42:00.000-08:002012-02-05T03:42:37.495-08:00And my Super Bowl Pick is.................Less than 24 hours and the Super Bowl will be live and in living color, and for some, High Definition. For fans, we've been able to fill our time with work, and watching all those annoying position and coaching breakdowns. We get to see some old players talk about how they dealt emotionally with the time leading up to the big game. The media, God Bless their soul, dissects every small story that comes out of each team camp. It can be overwhelming with the stories and experts and fans. And it get worse on game day. How the heck do you need a 6 hour pre-game show.It can be overwhelming sometimes. It makes it unenjoyable. But we love football. We need football. We crave it baby. This is what makes Super Bowl week so great. Just the fact that a lot of us grow up wondering what it would be like to come out the tunnel or be on the sidelines when the national anthem is sung. Some athletes have said that they have had to fight back tears because their emotions are so overwhelming. Most American men grow up wondering what that would feel like and to play for a world championship on a world stage. Knowing that people have set aside everything for this day. Even our military, who protects our freedom, gives the troops time to watch and enjoy the game. It's the Super Bowl and it deserves the hype. <br />
<br />
With this said, lets begin to break down this game and look at the match ups. As I stated in my previous blog, winning games is all about match ups and that's what will decide this game.<br />
<br />
Momentum: Much has been said about how the Giants were 7-7 and on the verge of not making the playoffs and how they won the last two games to win the division, dominate both the Falcons and the Packers and then knocked off the 49ers at Candlestick to advance to Indy. They come to the dance with a great amount of momentum and swagger (I hate that word). Yet, do you realize that the Pats come in on a 10 game winning streak? They have been very quietly putting together a very good run of their own except in true Bill Belichick fashion, they have been mum about their accomplishments. I actually give the edge to the Pats on this one because during their winning streak, they have gotten better in every aspect of the game, except one:Tom Brady. Tom the Terrific has been, well, terrific, but has struggled in a few games. That doesn't bode well for the Giants. Yes, he doesn't like to be hit, but I believe that the Pats will attack the Giants differently this game: runs and screens. Both of these plays will literally make the NY pass rush void. This Pats team sorta reminds me of the 1988 49ers. The team that actually went 10-6 during the regular season as Joe Montana looked good but not as invincible as previous years. In my opinion, Brady is sort of like Montana in that, in a big game would you really want to bet against him? The Giants have been doing a lot of talking about hitting Brady and how they expect to win ( they should expect to win and I don't see why the media is making such a big issue about it). They are talking as if the game is already in the books. This is not a very good strategy against the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">highest</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> winning Coach</span>-QB combo in the history of the NFL. Could this two weeks be enough time for the Giants to lose their mojo? Possibly<br />
<br />
Nastiness: I think that the Giants are the more physical of the teams. But this is true more on offense than on defense. I like the Giants commitment to the running game with Bradshaw and Jacobs. This could definitely make a huge difference in a tightly contested game. Neither defense is especially physical and I do not see those nasty and physical linebackers and safety's of past teams. There are no Rodney Harrison's, or Teddy Bruschi's for the Pats, or Antonio Pierce's for the Giants. The NFL has opted for speed and with this speed comes more guys who can be pushed around. I have watched the Patriots play and they seem to just totally abandon the run, even on the goal line. They would rather pass the ball. I believe this is where the Giants have the advantage. If this game does become a slug fest, the Giants can do what they did to the Packers and break the will of the Pats.<br />
<br />
Big Balls Factor: Eli vs Tom, Tom vs Eli. I think this match up is actually even. Eli, to the chagrin of my dad, has proven he can flat out play. I don't think people look at him as lucky or as a game manager any more. He has shown that he is en elite QB. We already know what Brady can do so no need to talk about him. It isn't the QB's who will decide the game, it will be who he has around him who will step up on the biggest stage and not have stage fright. Victor Cruz, and the rest of the Giant receiving corp has become the darlings of playoffs by having some monster games. They have definitely stepped up to the plate. But for some reason, I'm not seeing them as making THAT catch at THAT time to score THAT TD. Because of the Patriot way of doing things, I can actually see their guys having no care or feeling no pressure to perform. They go out and do things at a level and composure that few do. To me its the Pats who have the advantage in this factor.<br />
<br />
Coaching: Much has been made of the Bill Belichick model of consistency. He is easily one of the greatest coaches since Bill Walsh. When your team is referred to as the Evil Empire, then, in my mind, you've done the right things. Once criticism of Belichick is that he cheats. Well if he has cheated, oh well. In the NFL, you can not consistently cheat and when. It's literally impossible. It will catch up to you. He is a master at preparation and talent evaluation and his teams always plays hard and enjoys beating peoples butt. On the other sideline is Tom Coughlin. I like his old school approach and the way his teams are structured. Line up, run the the rock and play D. What more do you want. He believes in playing great special teams and just being an all around solid team. It works well and he has seemed to put up the middle finger to the NY press and stand toe-to-toe with them. Like Belichick, his teams are prepared and motivated in big games. He has gone mind game to mind game with Belichick and has beaten him two consecutive times. Simply, he knows how to get his players ready.I think there is actually no edge in this match up that sticks out unless you count the 8 super bowls Belichick has been in as an assistant or head man. But, if someone was to put a gun to my head, I'd have to bet my life on Belichick just because he seems to always find that one flaw or that one angle to motivate his team.<br />
<br />
Flaws: Exposing a weakness of a team takes a lot of time and patience. You kind of gnaw at a team until an opportune moment and then expose them. We saw the 49ers do that against the Saints in the playoffs. Remember the crucial third down when Alex Smith rolled out and ran for the score. Well, I'm sure the coaching staff waited all game to catch the Saints in their all out, man-to-man blitz, knowing that the QB would not be accounted for. End result TD. I love the way the Pats seem to expose your strengths and weaknesses. They know the strong part of the Giants is their pass rush and how their line stunts in certain situations. The Giants know how the Pats like to get the ball to Wes Welker in critical third downs and how he is usually Brady's first read. These are obvious things, but it's the little small areas which coaches look for that they try to expose. It could be something as simple as a half yard split by a wide out that can tell you where the play is going. It's these small, minute things that will make the difference in a game. Ask the Saints Tracey Porter who waited almost a full game to take advantage on one Peyton Manning flaw - going to Reggie Wayne on the read slant. These instances are what is going to make the difference in the game. I believe the advantage goes to the Pats. I think Brady will expose some of the Giants issues in the secondary better than the Giants defense can expose Brady's dislike for pressure.<br />
<br />
With that said, I think this game has the makings of a good Super Bowl, but for some reason I see a blow out. I think this will be both Tom Brady's and Bill Belichicks stamp on being the true dynasty and set the franchise apart from any other. I like the Pats to win big and make a mockery of the Giants early.<br />
<br />
Final Score<br />
New England 38 - NY 13<br />

I know some of you may say that other teams should have made it but if they should be there, they would be there. Don't believe me? Lets look at some of those teams who everyone feels 'should' be going to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl. The list includes those who didn't make the playoffs as well as those who made the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Philly Cheese Eagles</u></strong>: First of all, it was Vince Young who proclaimed the Eagles as the dream team. Yes the weak minded, I'm going in to recluse, Vince Young. Nuff said. The Eagles were a preseason favorite of many and with Michael Vick as the QB they had good reason. Add to that a slew of big name free agents, and you have a 'sure fire' recipe for success.What Happened: The Eagles stumbled out of the gate. They failed to give Vick an offensive line to protect him and Vick committed a lot of turnovers. In addition, the defense could not play as a unit in spite of probably the best corner combo in the league. The Eagles seemed to put it together late in the year and played some inspired ball but still fell short of the playoffs. Given how they finished the year, there will be a lot of jockers for the 2012 season. The lack of consistency is what kept Philly out of the big game.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Pittsburgh Tomlins</u></strong>: The Steelers will always be my favorite team in the AFC because of Tomlin. The brother can coach - plain and simple. Pittsburgh's issue lies in the fact that they got away from who Pittsburgh is and what the city stands for offensively: A butt kicking running game and an efficient passing game. Instead, we saw Big Ben tossing 40 passes a game while tossing 14 interceptions with only 21 TD's. He got the crap beat out of him by standing in the pocket waiting for long route combo's and when they needed to run the ball in the playoff game against the Bronco's they could not. They need to go out and get a big dark nasty RB from somewhere who's sole desire in life is to punish defensive players - in other words, they need a running back with the mentality of James Harrison. Moving ahead, with their aging defense, the Tomlin would be wise to get a running game upgrade or his defense will tire out in some games.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Baltimore Ravens</u></strong>: The preseason mindset was, IF Joe Flacco can step up, they would have a legitimate shot at winning a Super Bowl. Well Flacco was consistently inconsistent and even though the Ravens went 12-4 it was due to the running of Ray Rice and a very good defense. Talk about a team who could use Peyton Manning. Flacco was unable to make the Patriots play honest defense and that was the issue in Fox borough. To give Flacco credit, he did deliver a good pass to that idiot, worthless piece of crap Lee Evans but he dropped it - pretty fitting way for that useless receiver to end his wastless career. As you can guess I'm not feeling Lee Evans. He lost me a $1 bet. Bastard.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>New Orleans Saints:</u></strong> Two darn consecutive years these dudes refuse to tackle. Two years in a row that Roman Harper is involved in a missed tackle that resulted in a TD. He sucks, the D sucks, Gregg Williams sucks. How the heck do you go with a full blitz and leave freakin Roman Harper as your lone safety. This dude has about as much coverage skills as I do at 44 years old. Why not Zone blitz and give Alex Smith some different looks and force him in to a bad throw. I'm glad Williams is gone, and take Harper and the rest of the no tackling squad with you. Damn that felt good to get out. Moving on.<br />
<br />
<u>Green Bay Packers</u>: Green Bay was obviously almost every one's choice to win the Big One. They had arguably, the best QB in the league and a great organization. They stormed out to 13 straight wins and looked to be heading towards Indy. The problem I saw with the Packers is that they never peaked. In this league, it is important to hit a stride, especially in your weak link. This weak link was the Packers defense, who I never felt was getting better. If you have the number 1 ranked offense, you can get a false sense of security as a defense. You are rushing the passer so much that you look like world beaters on defense because the opposing team insone dimensional. Well that may work against week opponents, but not against the Giant's. In that game, when the Giant's D made some stops and forced a few quick possessions by Aaron Rogers, and the defense had to play both run and pass for a full game, we saw their true colors. Until that defense can consistently make stops and make tackles, they will lose to teams who can extend the game.<br />
<br />
As you have read, each team had a flaw or two, but each team had a shot at getting to the Dance- but they didn't. I prescribe to the motto that if something should of happened it, it would have happened. The two teams who should be in the Super Bowl, New England and New York, are there. If the Saints could tackle, they would be there. If the Ravens had a consistent QB, they would be there. If my grandmother had balls, she would be my grandfather. IF IF IF.And the list goes on.<br />
<br />
Both the Patriots and the Giants have played outstanding football and their head coaches are great motivators and game planners. And most of all, both teams are peaking in those areas which they were vulnerable during the early stages of the season - defensively. Both teams were said to have weak defenses during the season. Both teams have two of the worst pass defenses in the league. The key to their championship run and with any run in sports is the match-ups. Could the Patriots win in Pittsburgh against a franchise QB in Big Ben, and could the Giants beat New Orleans with Drew Brees? Probably not. It's not their fault that they got match ups against Joe Flacco and Alex Smith. Both defenses won with their front seven, but in different forms. The Giants have gotten through the playoffs defensively by putting big time pressure on the QB's - they played three games vs teams who liked to pass instead of using a more balanced attack. The Pats used their front seven to stop the run - they played two teams who rely heavily on the run and have inconsistent QB's.<br />
<br />
Ah the perfect storm. They played teams who played teams who fell right in to their defensive strength. Again, getting to the Dance, is all about match-ups than it is how well of a team you have. If the Giants would have missed the playoffs, and say Dallas made it, then Green Bay may have been in the Superbowl. MATCH UPS WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.<br />
<br />
So where are the match ups for the Super Bowl and who has the advantage and who do I think will win? Check in Saturday as I make my final Super Bowl pick. Until then.<br />
<br />
Peace<br />
<br />
My bad, I almostforgot the most important part about the game. THE FANS<br />

<br />
Congrats to the Bama Tide for capturing their 2nd National Championship in the last 3 years. Was it the most exciting or electrifying BCS title game ever? Hecks no! Was it an SEC game at it's best? Not really? Then what exactly did we witness in Alabama's 21-0 woodshed beat down of the LSU Tigers? I honestly can say that we may have seen the best defense in college football history - EVER. Throw out the statistical facts of leading the country in the four major statistical categories. I don't want to hear about some 1950's Notre Dame team that played against wing-T teams. Maybe the Miami and Florida State teams of the 90's can compare, but this Bama D is on a whole different level with respects to speed and sheer desire to hit any fool carrying a football - or even a fool who looks like they want to carry the football. We witnessed what is termed a swarming defense - no inside runs, no outside runs, no bubble screens, no QB draws, no nothing. LSU couldn't manage jack. Holding the number one team to less than 100 yards of offense is just pure insane. No one except this Tide defense could do that. How do I know? Because LSU has laid, on average, 39 points a game during the year. And that includes the lowly 9 they scored against Bama in the first game. Take away that game and LSU was averaging almost 42 points a game. This from a power running offense. Ive told people this today and I truly believe it: if LSU played Oklahoma State in the title game, they would have won by a score of at least 42-14. <br />
<br />
So what went wrong with the LSU offense?<br />
<br />
<img height="167" id="il_fi" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/495257/34hxabm.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just plain SEC hard</span><br />
<br />
The picture above is of Dont'a Hightower of Alabama. The photo isn't from last nights game, but it is meant to illustrate the relentlessness of the BCS title game defensive MVP. First of all, dude looks as though he has no desire to slow down and will, if necessary put his head right through the ball carrier without any care in the world. This is what LSU's offense had to deal with all night plus 10 more dudes who were flying to the ball with bad intentions.<br />
<br />
Now as lets flip the script a little. As good as Bama was on defense, Jordan Jefferson was just as bad. Not just bad, but 'I got paid to lose this game' bad. Don't lie! You were thinking it also. This dude looked uninspired and drugged. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Not only that, every time they showed him on the sidelines he looked like he was on the synthetic marijuana that the Honey Badger was suspended for taking. You have to wonder if this dude even knew the plays he was running - which brings me to another point. LSU's had no offensive game plan - I'm sure they had plays which were on a sheet but there was nothing that showed they were setting up something, attempting to get in a rhythm or even trying to compete. It seems like they were trying to not to lose, or like they thought that at some time our defense or special teams will make a play and turn the tide. While Saban was dialing up the D, it looked as if they were playing against their own 'look squad'. These are the guys who run the other teams offense during the week leading up to a game. They are told by the coaches to not go hard and give the defense a good look so that they can get to their spots. In addition, the scout team QB is told to throw up a couple of passes so that the DB's can get some work at intercepting some balls. This is what Jordon Jefferson and LSU's offense looked like - A scout team. Every time they ran a play, it looked like Bama was there before they were.<br />
<br />
This leads me to the main reason LSU loss. Preparation. One of the players remarked after the game that they won because of the Saban Factor. The player said that if you give Coach Saban 45 days to prepare, it's a done deal. Saban hit trumps early (if you don't play spades, forget about this reference) and went for the win. Les Miles looked as though they were uninspired and had no pop to them, and that's on the the Mad Hatter. I don't know what went on for the month leading up to the game but Les didn't do it right. It may have worked against any other team with lesser talent, but not Nick Saban and Alabama. I've been fortunate to be involved in championship games as a player and a coach and the one thing you need to do as a coach is to know that you need to be mentally peaking at game time so that the players can be physically unleashed when the ball is kicked off for the first time. <br />
<br />
Miles didn't do it and it seemed that LSU, as a whole, was caught off guard in all facets of the game:<br />
<br />
Offense - LSU never got in a rhythm of running the ball and seemed to just be out played and out smarted by Bama<br />
<br />
Defense - Never got comfortable with the play action passes and the different formations of the Tide's offense<br />
<br />
Special Teams - The LSU kick return team had 6 opportunities to make a momentum changing play before Bama put the game way away. Even after 5 field goals as well as the opening kick, LSU never had a return that gave them any good field position. In addition, the Honey Badger had no room to make a decent return. When your starting defense is playing special teams and covering kicks, then tells you how serious Saban and the team thought winning EVERY part of the game was.<br />
<br />
<br />
From what I hear, Les Miles is getting it bad from the LSU fans via the airwaves. That is understandable. Once thing that the LSU faithful must realize is that, Miles was matching wits against possibly the best coach, motivator, recruiter and college football CFO EVER - yes ever. And not only that, Bama fielded, in my mind, the most athletically, and physically dominating defense ever. Could Les have had a better game plan? Yes. But in hindsight, neither he nor his players had a chance last night.<br />
<br />
Looking good Bama! Looking good! ROLL TIDE<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The picture above is an actual picture taken outside of my office in downtown Buffalo New York on January 9th, 2012. Let me shed light on a few interesting things about this photo. First, it is January and there is no snow on the ground - not even a drop. Usually we are dealing with a good amount of snow fall here in Western New York during the month of January. Actually, the weather here has been downright beautiful. Saturday, we saw a 50 degree day.Heck, that's shorts and wife-beater weather out here. Even today, it's in the mid-to-upper 30's. Now the kicker: THE SUN IS OUT!!!!!!! For those of you who do not know Buffalo, the sun is rarely out during these months. We usually don't see the sun around these parts till about April. A brother from Mississippi would turn pale here during winter. No Joke.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm mentioning this to make the point that today is the day that even The Lord Himself is smiling on Buffalo, and the whole world, as a matter a fact. WHY? BCS CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT. God is extremely pleased with mankind for finally getting a match up correct: An all-SEC BCS title game. It should always be like this right? When you look back at the past 5 championship games which an SEC team won, you can argue that another SEC team could have snuck in the mix and played for the title also:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2006 - a 10-2 LSU team could have joined Florida in the big game. Their two loses came at the hands of an 11th ranked Auburn team and to eventual BCS Champion Florida</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2007 - a 11-2 Georgia team who demolished Hawaii in the Sugar joke game could have made a better game than Ohio State. For that matter, anyone except thee Ohio State could have stepped in and shown more heart. The best part about an LSU vs Georgia championship game was that they hadn't played each other that year so at least it wouldn't have been rematch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2008 - Though USC, Texas and Oklahoma were powerful teams, Alabama was definitely the second best team in the NCAA.That Tide team got Tebowed in the SEC Championship 31-20, but easily could have been given the rematch. Florida was a juggernaut and Nick Saban had Alabama on the rise. Both teams were undefeated during the regular season and ranked 1 & 2. Oklahoma pulled the votes for the championship and got slapped again. I think Alabama would have easily given the Gators a better game.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2009 - This was a reversal of fortune year as the undefeated Tide met the undefeated Gators in the SEC Championship game. This time, the Bama came out on top and the Gators got left out of the title game. This was Tebow's senior year and many thought he would and should have a chance to repeat. Texas, who also came in undefeated ( but from the Little 12), was the recipient of the SEC beat down this time. I know that Texas fans will note that once Colt McCoy got hurt it wasn't a real game. My rebuttal: Don't get hurt! That easy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2010 - This year marked the beginning of the current run which LSU is on. Auburn, Led by Cam Newton, was phenomenal in 2010 and they rode that stallion all the way to the BCS championship game against Oregon. I like watching Oregon. They are entertaining with that offense and all of that speed. But lets be serious. They are in the PAC 12 (PAC 10 at the time). LSU, though losing two games (one to Auburn 24-17 and the other to Arkansas), would have easily been a better game. Yes, I know Oregon played the Tigers to the wire but...........it's Oregon. LSU, on the other hand demolished Texas A&M in the Cotton bowl 41-24. Do you know who the MVP of the game was? Tyrann Mathieu the Honey Badger. Nine months later LSU would show the NCAA world why they should have been in the BCS Championship by demolishing the Ducks, in the Jerry Dome, 40-27. And it wasn't that close.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.secstore.com/COLLEGE_LSU_Tigers_BCS_Championship_Merchandise/LSU_Tigers_vs_Alabama_Crimson_Tide_2012_BCS_National_Championship_Game_Bound_Dueling_Pin" rel="nofollow" title="LSU Tigers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide 2012 BCS National Championship Game Bound Dueling Pin"><img alt="LSU Tigers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide 2012 BCS National Championship Game Bound Dueling Pin" src="http://images.footballfanatics.com/FFImage/thumb.aspx?i=/productImages/_775000/ff_775052_xl.jpg&w=180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That brings us to the clash of the titans in my home town of New Orleans tonight. The BCS has finally realized that by sticking in another conference champion to battle the SEC is useless. Who wants to see another Big 10 team, all slow of foot and overly matched athletically go in to the ring against a bunch of Men. Or a PAC 12 team with all that speed and lack of heart to tackle, get trounced by a real team made up of real players. Or even worse, a Big 12 team......nuff said.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It will be a great game to those of us who understand football. I enjoyed the first one. No player left that game without being hit. People remark about the lack of offenses in the first game. Next time they show ground level views of the game, watch the speed of the defenders. This is why the SEC is the best conference. A running lane doesn't stay open for long in that conference and all that Oregon spread stuff will get your QB and RB's broke. When LSU and Bama played anyone else in 2011, they were laying up 30-40 points. That's because they aren't playing each other. Oregon put up 27 points and West Virginia laid up 21 points against the Tigers. LSU put up 40 in each of those games. In fact LSU rung up 40 points NINE times this year. You want offense, then deal with that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img height="212" id="il_fi" src="http://www.newstimes.com/mediaManager/?controllerName=image&action=get&id=1794695&width=628&height=471" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Another LSU Score</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On the flip side, Bama gave up 21 points against Georgia Southern and that was about as good as it got against the #1 defense in the land. Auburn and Arkansas laid 14 on the Tide defense, but in both of those games, the Tide dominated and won by over 20 points. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So if you don't think these teams will ring up the points, well, you are stupid. The difference with the scoring of these two teams versus, lets say, Oregon, is that at some point they break the will of the opponent. They physically wear you out and then you just get tired of their o-line pushing on you and those big, greasy, nasty, hard, backs running through your d-line, up to your secondary. At some point, those DB's get tired of tackling those brothers. The issue from the first game is that neither defense backed-the-F down. The DB's were just as fierce as the linebackers. That's what separates these two teams from everyone else. Arkansas is one of the better teams in the country, but they just got their will taken from them by both LSU and Alabama. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img height="235" id="il_fi" src="http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos/2012/01/08/Fast-friends-in-Mathieu-Richardson-ONQH49H-x-large.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's all good between these two until Monday night</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With all this said, I believe it will be a great game tonight, IF, you understand football and IF you are not an SEC hater. This will be football at it's best AND GOD IS SMILING because of it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Ok let me be clear: I AM UNEQUIVOCALLY AN S.E.C MAN. With that said, let me ask the question which is being asked in NCAA/BCS circles around the country: Does Alabama deserve another shot at LSU in the BCS Championship game? Someone made a very good point the other day when they said that Bama had their shot at LSU, AT HOME, and lost. Their kicker nutted up and the man himself, Nick Saban, and his staff was out coached by Les Miles and his staff. They never adjusted to the option and did not prepare their offense with enough versatility to combat the LSU defense. Let's take it a step further and say that Bama did not even make their own conference championship. With that said, how does a team who had the No.1 team in their own house deserve another shot? Why not give another team a shot such as Oklahoma State or Va. Tech? These two teams who are playing in their conference championship and also have one loss. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In my twisted mind I would love to see one of these teams, or even Stanford, in the BCS title game. The reason is that I want to see them get the crap beat out of them by a real team. <img alt="" class="rg_hi" data-height="213" data-width="237" height="179" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3X7OCiaKjfkISBUskVfL706qmnjSfyxpfROsUy0A9SUemjQJR" style="height: 213px; width: 237px;" width="200" /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">There are a lot of SEC haters who do not want to see an all SEC BCS title game. So in a way, a very small way, I would like to see another team get in and get a beating just like other title games that the SEC have dominated over the past 5 years. How would Andrew Luck like to see his receivers blanketed and those big, brutal, fast brothers from LSU bearing down on him. All that pass happy stuff only works in other conferences but not in brother land. Even Arkansas had issues spreading out the LSU defense and throwing. You are ultimately leaving your QB with less blockers to protect their backs. Not a good idea against LSU or Bama for that matter.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now lets look at reality: The two best teams in the country reside in the SEC West. That's why they should play for the national championship. In addition, who wants to see LSU win by 40 in a championship game vs Oklahoma State? Now that's more crazy than two SEC playing for the title.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The BCS finally have it right - All hail the SEC baby.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Peace</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<br />
Well, it is definitely go-time in the NFL. With the exception of the Packers, teams are either fighting hard to win their division, or trying to keep pace to slip in as a wild card team. In my opinion, the Packers, barring an Aaron Rogers injury, will lock up the North and home field throughout the playoffs. The magic number is 3 which will give them 14 wins and force the 49ers to win out to get home field and make the Saints completely out of an outside shot of getting the entire playoff run in the dome - which may not be a bad thing. Why? Here is something that some haven't thought about. Rogers and the Packers made that great Superbowl run last year in some very good weather. In fact, the one game they had in bad weather was the NFC Championship against the Bears in which they won 21-14. In that game Rogers was a pedestrian 17 for 30 and the Pack had two turnovers. What really bailed out the Packers was the QB's on the other side of the ball, specifically Jay Cutler. I didn't see the offense clicking in that cold Chicago air. Now take the Pack's performance in their divisional game against the Falcons in the Georgia Dome or the Superbowl game in the Jerry Dome and they were great. Even this year, they've performed well in good weather without really having to play in a bad climate. Now, this is all theory, so don't marry me to it, but I have yet to see the offense perform great in weather like they may see in January at home in Green Bay. Just a thought.<br />
<br />
Speaking of thoughts here are a few random ones:<br />
<br />
* Ndamukong Suh is a wild dude. I would not like to meet that dude in a back alley. Hell, I wouldn't want to meet him in a crowded, lit area. Brother man has no shame. <br />
* Stevie Johnson is an idiot. There are unwritten codes of behavior amongst pro ballers. If you want to taunt another player, LEAVE ALL PERSONAL BUSINESS OUT OF YOUR TAUNTS AND TRASH TALKS. Johnson broke this code when he mimicked being shot in the leg a la Plaxiglass Burress. Very classless. What's next, dudes acting like two dogs fighting to taunt Michael Vick the next time someone scores on the Eagles? <br />
* Teams are reflections of their coach. Harbaugh (Both), Tomlin, Payton, and Hue Jackson just to name a few, have teams which play hard and have passion. Frazier, Caldwell and Turner are not aggressive and seem timid about their jobs and look how their teams play - soft and weak.<br />
<br />
Enough of my thoughts. Here are the week 13 NFL Rankings<br />
<br />
<strong><u>1. Green Bay Packers 11-0</u></strong> - Downright scary how Rogers is playing. The D needs to start playing better because they may have to face a team who can go toe-to-toe with them in the QB position.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>2. Baltimore Ravens 8-3</u></strong> - Something or Somebody just doesn't seem right - can you say Flacco<br />
<br />
<strong><u>3. THEE New Orleans Saints 8-3</u></strong> - Last time I ranked the The Cronk Boys, I said they needed to go on a run and they are on a three game winning streak and keeping one step ahead of the Falcons<br />
<br />
<strong><u>4. Pittsburgh Steelers 8-3</u></strong> - BUTT UGLY win against Kansas City and the Palamalu injury could affect this team going forward. The good thing is that they've played the Ravens twice already.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>5. San Fran 49ers 9-2</u></strong> - Tough loss on the road but they need more consistency out of Smith if they are going to beat the Saints, Falcons, or the Packers in a playoff game.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>6. New England Pats 8-3</u></strong> - Brady is on a roll but can the D hold up<br />
<br />
<strong><u>7. Dallas Cowboys 8-3</u></strong> - The Boys are making a push and in the mix for the second seed. Romo is playing smart football and the D continues to get him the ball. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>8. Houston Texans 8-3</u></strong> - If Schuab was playing they would be ranked higher but...........<br />
<br />
<strong><u>9. Atlanta Falcons 7-4 </u></strong>- Keeping pace with the Saints and all roads are point to the December 26th showdown vs the Saints in the Dome<br />
<br />
<strong><u>10. Oakland Raiders 7-4</u></strong> - Leading the west but can they hold off the Broncos without DMc Fadden<br />
<br />
<strong><u>11. Cincinnati Bengals 7-4</u></strong> - Without Chad Johnson I can actually cheer for Marvin Lewis. Andy Dalton is pushing Cam for ROY.<br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">12. LSU 12-0 - THE S.E.C. </span></u></strong><br />

Every now and then the D-South Blog with have a guest who may want to share their thoughts on sports, life, or whatever mumbling comes from their mouth. With the Arkansas Razorbacks believing there is still a shot at a BCS game and the game against #1 LSU nears, the talking between the fans of the two adjoining states has begun. Though BC has no words, he just wanted this posted to show where he stands.<br />

<br />
<br />
For the first time this year I watched a full west coast college game this week as Oregon battled Stanford for not only the inside track for the PAC 12 North championship, but also to keep pace in the hunt to get routed by an SEC school in the BCS championship game. This was the west coasts' version of LSU vs Alabama, but a little weaker of course.<br />
<br />
A few things I wanted to check out for myself. First was Andrew Luck. I watched him play against Va Tech in last years Orange Bowl and liked what I saw. I had the privilege to spend time with John Harbarugh a while back and I've always liked what he stood for: tough, physical and committed so i knew Luck would be a mirror image. I liked his skills and the way he was cool in the pocket. I did have some speculation in watching him though. My main issue was that Va Tech had an awful offense. You can not play in a BCS bowl game without a legit QB. Someone who can threaten an opponents defense with his arm. Every team that has won a BCS title has had a QB who could hurt you if you crowded the line of scrimmage with 8 defenders. From Tennessee in 1998 with T Martin, to Matt Mauck of LSU in 2003 all the way to the beast himself, Cam Newton, last year. I say this because Va Tech's QB Tyrod Taylor was a good athlete and a good passer in spots but Stanford dared him to beat them and he did not respond to the challenge. So what does this have to do with Andrew Luck? Well, in my mind, it tilted the playing field big time. Trust me when I say that a defense gets tired when your offense doesn't convert on third downs - Va Tech was 5-14. Though Taylor threw for over 200 yards he was never a real threat and Stanford broke their will and cruised to a 40-12 victory. Tech is known for a fast and disciplined defense but was off balance with the Cardinal running and passing attack. Given this, Luck looked very good (18-23 287yds and 4 TD's). <br />
<br />
What I wanted to see against Oregon was how he would play when the pressure is constantly on him to make plays while going toe-to-toe with an offensive juggernaut. Oregon is not known for it's defense but had a great game plan: put a lot of pressure on Luck and be physical with his receivers (this wouldn't work if they were playing an SEC school). It worked to perfection as Luck had trouble recognizing where the heat was coming from and consistently missed receivers and threw a lot of passes off of his back foot. He was sacked and intercepted and looked very confused. Not exactly what the leading Heisman candidate should look like. Once the Ducks took control of the game, Luck folded like Tom Brady under pressure. <br />
<br />
I think that some of these west coast QB's are way too used to hitting wide-open receivers running a bunch of option and hot routes and playing against defenses which are not all that physical nor good. This is why guys like Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart have trouble in the NFL. The pro game may be wide open, but the window to fit a ball is tremendously tighter than college and the time you have to get rid of the football shrinks dramatically. Just look at Mark Sanchez. He definitely has the talent but he is just so used to throwing to wide open receivers in college that he is struggling with the transition. <br />
<br />
So the question is, now that you've seen Andrew Luck perform when he is consistently pressured and his receivers are being blanketed, is he still a can't miss NFL QB? A lot was revealed about the kid this past Saturday. Yes he is smart, and possesses a strong arm, but as we've learned in the NFL, that will not do it all the time. I'm sure in the pass happy NFL, he more than likely will succeed, but I saw something completely alarming about him Saturday night.<br />
<br />
Lastly, is he even the Heisman front runner after the game against Oregon? In the biggest game against a good opponent (for a west coast team) he was awful. The weight was on his shoulders and he failed. On the other hand, my guy for the Heisman, Trent Richardson, carried Alabama in their loss vs #1 LSU. There was no doubt that in the biggest game of the year, he showed up and handled his business against the second best defense in the country. <br />
<br />
I really think Luck will turn out to be a good pro but Saturday opened my eyes.<br />
<br />
As a side note, everything is setting up perfect for an all SEC BCS Championship - <strong><em>Just as God would want it.</em></strong><br />

Before we begin the rankings for week 10 we want to say goodbye and acknowledge the life of two brothers who just passed away: The overweight lover Heavy D and Smokin' Joe Frazier. The Heavster sang one of my favorite songs 'Black Coffee - No sugar No cream. It was an anthem for the Black Woman in the 90's and basically said there is nothing like a sista. Plus, Heavy was clean cut with no cuss and well respected in the industry because he was just genuine and didn't try to be a gangster or all hard IN SPITE of how tough it was for him growing up.<br />
<br />
In the 70's you picked a side in boxing between Ali and Frazier. Frazier was what the street called the people's champ because he was just a boxer - not a promoter, not a smack talker, and not a showboat. All which were monikers given to Ali. As Ali's stand against the Vietnam war became ok and he became more socially accepted, the street began to turn on him and, as we sometimes do, began to stick him Ali with the worst moniker: A Financial Sellout. Given this, the street began to look for another guy who identified with the grit and reality of the street. That man was Joe Frazier. Joe was in over his head when it came down to matching wits with Ali, but in the ring, it was a different subject. Frazier gave Ali some of the worst beatings of his career. Frazier was a fighter first, second and third. He will always be a champ because he carried himself as one.<br />
<br />
Both Heavy and Joe will be missed.<br />
<br />
Let's get down to the NFL and the top 12 for the week:<br />
<br />
1. <strong>Green Bay Packers 8-0:</strong> Aaron Rodger is officially in his prime. It's unbelievable watching him.<br />
2. <strong>Baltimore Ravens 6-2:</strong> One thing for sure is that you better strap it on when playing these dudes.<br />
3. <strong>San Fran 49ers 7-1: </strong>The niners have pretty much wrapped up the west. Amazing what a coach can do.<br />
4. <strong>New Orleans Saints 6-3:</strong> At some point in time they are going to have to put a 3-4 game run together.<br />
5. <strong>NY Giants 6-2: </strong>Huge win on the road vs Pats and now they need to string together a few wins to be legit.<br />
6. <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers 6-3:</strong>They are still a class act along with the Ravens. Losing two to them will bite them.<br />
7. <strong>Detroit Lions 6-2:</strong> After dropping a couple, the Lions are showing rare maturity.<br />
8. <strong>NY Jets 5-3: </strong>Watch out, Sexy Rexy has them flying around and playing with the 'Ryan Swag'.<br />
9. <strong>Houston Texans 6-3:</strong> Even at 6-3 why don't I trust this team?<br />
10. <strong>Chicago Bears 5-3:</strong> Don't count the Bears out. This could be a great battle for the last wild card spot.<br />
11. <strong>New England Pats 5-3:</strong> Brady is getting his butt whipped and I'm loving it.<br />
12a. <strong>Cincy Bengals 6-2:</strong> Good start but they haven't played neither the Ravens nor the Steelers<br />

Since the day he hit LSU I couldn't stand Shaquita O'Neal. I don't know why. He's just as unlikable as he is likable. That dislike for him followed him all the way through college as he was not even close to being the dominant player he was hyped up to be. That dislike followed him to the Orlando Magic as he got abused by Hakeem the Dream in the NBA finals and to his forced departure to the Lakers. This is where my dislike for him reached a pinnacle. I awed at his size and quickness but was totally turned off by his need to be in the spotlight like a needy child, his need to bully smaller centers such as David Robinson, Pat Ewing, and especially Alonzo Mourning. Most of all I hated that his game never really expanded. Yes he 'developed' a baby hook but other than that, teams still played hack-a-shaq routinely. Why, because he could not step away from the basket and shoot nor could he consistently hit his free throws. He never really improved his game. All the centers mentioned above were not known as jump shooters or deep fade-a-way players coming out of college, BUT they WORKED to develop their games. But all shaquita did was get fatter and more out of shape over the years. Yes he was dominate, but so would most of us if we were that big. Yes his size was his game and you can't fault him from forcing his will but as he got older he had nothing to lean on. He became an irrelevant journeyman who was good for a quote.<br />
<br />
I really can talk about Shaq all day but as I was searching the web and on one of my favorite sites, The Bleacher Report, I cam across this article which looked as though I wrote it - If I had any writing skills.<br />
<br />
Check it out. It's a good read<br />

<br />
Saban vs Miles, Baton Rouge vs Tuscaloosa, Alabama vs Louisiana, #1 vs #2, Purple n Gold vs Crimson and White, Defense vs Defense, ATLETE vs ATLETE. However and wherever you put the match up emphasis, this my friend, is what college football is all about. For you slow-footed, corn eatn northern boys, please take note of big men WITH speed in this game. For you quick, athletic, yet heartless dudes from the left coast, please take note of what you will see in the NFL: big hard, nasty, brothers and white dudes who have the same athleticism as you but with the capacity to not nut-up when its gut check time. In the S.E.C there is both flash and substance baby. Ahh the S.E.C. on CBS!!!!<br />
<br />
As you can tell, I am all ready for the battle royal Saturday night. Plus, we get the added gift from God to have the game on the night we need to turn back the clocks. It will be a good day for the world. <br />
<br />
In my mind, I do not think the game will not live up to the hype. With this many athletes, we are going to see an unbelievable amount of jaw dropping plays from both sides. It could be Trent Richardson or Spencer Ware carrying defenders. Or it may be <span aptureproxy="22" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; clear: none; cssfloat: none; cursor: auto; display: inline; float: none; margin: 0px; outline-color: invert; outline-style: none; outline-width: medium; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-indent: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; zoom: 1;"><span aptureproxy="21" style="background-color: highlight; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; clear: none; cssfloat: none; cursor: auto; display: inline-block; float: none; font-family: normal; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; height: 100%; left: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; outline-color: invert; outline-style: none; outline-width: medium; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: absolute; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; width: 0%; word-spacing: normal;"></span><span aptureproxy="20" id="aptureID_1" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; clear: none; cssfloat: none; cursor: auto; display: inline; float: none; margin: 0px; outline-color: invert; outline-style: none; outline-width: medium; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-indent: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; zoom: 1;">Tyrann Mathieu </span></span> with a strip, recovery and score. Or it could be a D-lineman running down a receiver down field. Add in two head coaches who are big game coaches and there is no way this game will disappoint.<br />
<br />
I really have no prediction for this game and no one I would actually like to see win the game. I have the utmost respect for both coaching staffs and how they prepare their position players to play. Both teams are athletic, but I think what is missed is how disciplined both teams are. This is true both offensively and defensively for both teams. This is what separates these two teams from others. <br />
<br />
As stated above, though I am not pulling for one team or another, I do want to see Trent Richardson gain over 125 yards and a few touchdowns. It's not that I want him to show up the LSU defense, it's just that I want him to have a big game in thee big game so that he keeps pace with Andrew Luck from Stanford in the race for the Heisman. I think Luck is good but he is playing in the PAC 12. There's no real competition out there. I think Richardson deserves the Heisman if he has a great game Saturday night. He is the most brutal, nastiest, one-step-and-go runner in the country. It isn't even close. Plus the dude is NFL ready and come to think of it, he was NFL ready coming out of high school - see picture below. That is a man! <br />
<br />

<br />
Then there is Tyrann Mathieu of LSU. Dude is a beast on defense and plays ball like an SEC player is supposed to - hard, fast and relentless. Of course he is a graduate of the best high school ever created: ST. AUGUSTINE H.S HOME OF THE PURPLE KNIGHTS AND THE MARCHING 100 where men are raised to greater men. Rise sons of the gold and purple, let our swelling chorus sound.........i regress. I want him to have a monster game also. Not only because he is a graduate of where I graduated from, but because i want him to remain in the Heisman mix. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is one game that I am going to sit back and enjoy without the rooting for one side or the other. I don't like traveling to games because plainly, I dislike people and rarely does a game live up to the hype, but this game I would love to be at just for the crowd alone. What people do not understand about the SEC, or football in the South all together, is the knowledge of the fans. And this is not just the men, or the older crowd. I'd put my mothers knowledge of the 'game' of football up against anyone. I know she will be sitting right in front of the TV Saturday night just like the rest of the southern football world. <br />
<br />

It seems that the NBA owners and NBAPA may reach an agreement soon after a 15 hour 'sit-down' last night. This ruins my dream of a cancelled NBA season. That would be the best year of my sports watching life. Why you ask? BECAUSE I HATE THE NBA!!!!!!!!!! I really do. I cant stand to watch what it is today. It's awful to me. And yes, I am one of those bitter I loved the Jordan years brothers. Yep that's me who loved when players actually hated each other and taking it to the rim meant possible bodily harm. I miss the Pistons D, Charles Oakley, and the Showtime Lakers. And most of all, I do miss watching Jordan who was pissed off at everybody and tried to embarrass anyone who dared to play against him. Now, we have that dude pictured above doing what he does best - crying. You have players now who can't play making tons of cash and being made celebrities. Hit 12 points a game and you can have your own TV show. <br />
<br />
Not that these dudes are not athletic. The NBA players now a day are so unbelievably gifted. The athleticism and speed of Dwayne Wade is just blinding. Looking at Blake Griffin jump and move is so powerful, yet graceful. But they are playing in a age when you can go to the hole unmolested and just dunk. No one attempts to block a shot or put a forearm to the ribs. These dudes don't want to be 'postorized' or put on sports highlights. They want to be as Le Bron wants to be, 'A global icon'. WTF (excuse my language). No passion, nor desire to be a champion, just being seen and making cash. If they win a championship along the way, then that helps with their marketability.<br />

Thank God for Kobe. I don't know him, and maybe wouldn't even like him as a person, but for my money, he is the only dude i would watch play basketball - I'm sure I will talk about Kobe and Jordan at some point in the future. If I was blessed with Dwayne Wades athleticism, I would score 25 points a game also. Now what if Wade had Jordan's heart and killer instinct? And how about a player who defines the term 'wasted talent'' - Shaq O''neal? If I was blessed with his size and athleticism, I'd dunk on everybody also. Have any of you seen Shaq in person? He is huge. Think what he could have been i he stayed his fat azz in shape and dedicated himself to the game? He would be, unquestionably, thee best player in NBA history - BAR NONE! <br />

<em>going, going gone fat</em><br />
<br />
<br />
But instead, his out of shape, worthless, wanna rap, can't act, can't talk, butt is out of the league and in need of some serious cash which leads me to why I wanted to see a lockout. I am not a so-called playa hater in the sense that these dudes are getting paid a lot of money and I don't like it. They are making what the market has called for them to make. It's not their fault that the networks are stupid and buys the rights to showcase the bad product. It's also not the players fault that companies pay an enormous amount of cash to show their commercials during games because the fans are so much in need <span style="background-color: white;">of</span> something, anything, to do that they waste time watching a very bad product. The players are just reaping the benefits of societies stupidity. <br />
<br />
What I do have a problem with is the arrogance and self promotion and lack of passion and lack of respect for the game that these dudes exhibit. Most of all I hate the way a lot of them carry themselves off the court. For every Kevin Durant, there are 20 Rasheed Wallace's. For every Grant Hill, there is a Ron Artest. You know the, look at me, I need attention types of players. I know it's been said a million times, but they seem to live as though its their right to play basketball and not an honor.<br />
<br />
This is my reason to hope for a season long lockout. First I'd like some of these players to realize that they only play basketball. There is nothing special about what they do. I've always said that an athlete really has no special place in my heart unless i know them personally. They are there to entertain me for the time I am looking at a game and when they are gone, then someone else will entertain me. Yes, I miss watching Jordan, Magic, and Bird play but I am not going sit here and cry because they no longer play. I use something else to entertain me for the moment and move on. Thus, say if a ball player as special as Kobe tears his knee up. I don't feel much of anything for Kobe because he was there just to entertain me. I don't know him, his family, or his next of kin. My life moves on. Do you think he really cares about a season ticket holder who loses their job and needs to let go their tickets. Do you really think Kobe, or any other player really cares? They don't know you so why should they. Fans have adored athletes so much that the athlete truly thinks that they are special - NOT. <br />
<br />
The second reason I would like to see a lockout is that these brothers, IN MY MIND, have a responsibility financially to give back to causes that positively change peoples lives. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that they shouldn't enjoy the money they've made. Please go out and but a nice home and a beautiful car or two, but the crap that I see (Check out D-Wades home (<a href="http://thehoopdoctors.com/online2/2008/12/what-does-it-look-like-inside-dwyane-wades-home-here-are-some-pictures/">Wade</a>)) and ask yourself, is all this necessary? And this isn't the worse of the offenders. And then there is the spending of my lease favorite player Shaq, who if he was out a job for a year he would be bankrupt. Look at the break down of his finances (<a href="http://www.divorce360.com/blogs/2008/1/25/jane-louise-boursaw/shaquille-oneal-reveals-finances-in-divorce-settlement-blog-2975">Fat Boy</a>). $850,0000 a month expenses? Really?<br />

<br />
Instead of showing young brothers how to improperly live, and women a false sense of success to measure a man they need to reaize the responsibilty of being a pro athlete. I am not much of a Charles Barkley fan and he is famous for making the most idiotic statement ever on a commercial when he said 'he is not a role model'. Damn skippy Chuck! Not to my kid you aren't. I know his point was to say that a parent should be the role model. You are right big boy, but a lot of these kids have no fathers in their lives and they look to idiots like you as a measure. And what do they see? You drunk, fighting, and gambling away money because you don't care. They think it's cool. Now here is the worst part Chaz. The white people you are hanging out with entertaining aren't laughing with you, they are really laughing at you. <br />
<br />
I do think these athletes should realize their place as fiscal role models and show kids how to correctly manage money instead of being the Latrell Sprewell's, the Antoine Walkers, and a countless amount of other 'ballers' who spent their way to bankruptcy even after earning $50-150 million during their careers. <br />
<br />
I think that the NBA players ARE over paid for the product that's on the court and the way to punish them is where it hurts which is financially as well as all of the talking heads who make a living during the NBA season. Everybody needs to feel it. The players need to realize it's the owners who hold the cards. Have you seen the net worth of some of these dudes: Charles Dolan (NY Knicks) $3.3 billion, Richard Devos (The Magic) $4.2 billion, Mickey Arison (Miami Heat) $5.9 billion, Paul Allen (Portland Trail Blazers) $13.2 billion, and the list goes on. Do you really think these dudes will not be able to keep the insurance on their 20 cars, or have trouble paying child support like some of these NBA players? <br />
<br />

<br />
I say lets make these players suffer and learn what an honor it is for them to make millions of dollars just to play basketball. A few years ago Allen Iverson said he may have to sell some cars during the last lockout in the NBA to feed his family. Do you realize that he may have not been joking. How can a man making millions not be able to pay bills? Stupidity and lack of respect for the people who look up to them as examples. <br />
<br />
Hopefully I get my dream come true and these dudes learn, but on the other hand, Wall Street hasn't learned their lessons on excess either. But that's a whole other story.DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-33728475828740405662011-10-18T12:05:00.000-07:002011-10-18T12:05:33.939-07:00D-South College Football and the BCS<a class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Uf2008CoachesTrophy.jpg"><img alt="Uf2008CoachesTrophy.jpg" height="220" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Uf2008CoachesTrophy.jpg/150px-Uf2008CoachesTrophy.jpg" width="150" /></a>LSU-Alabama-Oklahoma-Oklahoma St. 1, 2, 3, & 4. I think that's a pretty fair ranking by the BCS system. Obviously, since a playoff is out the question, this is about as good as we get. Besides, seeing that the SEC has taken the last 5 championships it really doesn't matter what the rankings are. In fact, let me make a suggestion to the BCS people. Take the SEC champion, no matter what the record, and make that an automatic bid and everyone else should be fighting for a spot, which leads me to this question. What happens if the next best team is another SEC team. Should two SEC teams play for the BCS title. In a perfect world..........hecks yeah.in fact, I'd take the two best SEC teams and put them up against any team. In fact, we may see that this year with LSU and Alabama. <br />

November 5th 2011 marks the real championship when the #1 LSU Tigers goes on the road to play #2 Alabama. Now, lets look at some scenarios and the implications:<br />
<br />
* LSU or Alabama wins, and they will be number one and wins out the rest of their games<br />
* LSU or Alabama wins but they lose a game before the SEC championship.<br />
* LSU or Alabama wins and wins out the regular season, but they lose in the SEC championship<br />
<br />
As a caveat, lets assume the loser in the Nov 5th BCS real championship game goes on to win out.<br />
<br />
Now lets review what I feel are the 'should be' outcomes.<br />
<br />
In the first scenario, the winner goes to the BCS championship game, BUT who do they play? I think Oklahoma and Oklahoma St are good teams, and as I said, I have no issue with them 3rd and 4th in the rankings. BUT, do you really think that either of these teams are better than the loser of the LSU/Bama game? This will be especially dicey if LSU loses and wins out. A team with wins against Oregon (weak coast darling), West Virginia, and one SEC loss to Alabama (who will be #1) will be not allowed to compete for the crystal ball? If Bama loses, the argument doesn't change much. <br />
<br />
Either way, if the Nov 5th game is close, especially if it's a classic, and the loser wins out, there is no way they should not replay the game on January 9th, 2012. I really don't care who comes out of the Big 12 undefeated. There are not two better teams in the country. I can hear Michigan fans belly aching about when they lost to Ohio State in 2006 and didn't get a second shot at the Buckeyes. First of all, it's only the Big 10 and second, the college football world witnessed what happens when you put a Big 10 school up against the speed, depth, darkness and power of the SEC. Going undefeated in the Big 10 does not in any way carry the same weight as doing it in he SEC.<br />

<br />
<br />
For the second scenario, if either LSU or Bama wins and then loses a game before the SEC championship and still wins the championship game, I can see one of them being omitted, but in the end, an SEC team would beat either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, or better yet, a Stanford or Wisconsin team - easily.<br />
<br />
The third scenario is a possibility, but even then, I still think that whoever it is, either LSU or Bama STILL should be in the championship.<br />
<br />
Are you getting the theme? NO MATTER WHO DOES WHAT OR WHO LOSES TO WHO, OR WHAT THE RANKINGS ARE, AN SEC TEAM SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE INCLUDED IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. <br />
<br />
If the BCS can't get a playoff system, this should be there next goal.DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-77595461245219914862011-10-18T10:29:00.000-07:002011-10-18T10:31:23.687-07:00All you need to know about the World Series<img height="171" id="il_fi" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR5VrCarv0rUEer6kutBiGFI2QWAWi1PP1LtNxJEw1TC4zGlxFrdK2_HFEx" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="160" />WHO CARES. It's mid-October and we are starting the World Series. Baseball has really headed south - like mostly all pro sports. There are way too many meaningless games, way too many average players (by MLB standards) getting paid a lot of money, and way too much commercialism - THANKS ESPN.<br />
<br />
I don't think I will be watching any of it so if you were looking for some insight to the series go somewhere else. <br />

Two teams, Tampa and NY Giants, went on the road and got their butts handed to them. It just shows that these teams are good, but lack that week-in week-out consistency that top teams have. It seems like there is always a lot of shuffling in the bottom half every week because a team has a gawd awful week. To lose is one thing, but to get beat down is a completely different story.<br />

<br />
1. Green Bay Packers 5-0 (prv 1): No doubt here. Aaron Rogers has been the second best QB in the league and gets better weekly<br />
<br />
2. Detroit Lions 5-0 (prv 2): I can assume we all know they are not Super Bowl ready but at 5-0 they are making huge strides. They continue to remind me of the Cowboys of the early 90's when Jerry and Jimmy was piecing that team together.<br />
<br />
3. THEE New Orleans Saints 4-1 (prv 3): The quest to win the NFC South began last week and will continue with a trip to a Tampa team looking to prove themselves.<br />
<br />
4. New England Patriots 4-1 (prv 4): Straight up man handled the Jets at the line of scrimmage as well as on the coaching headset. Brady-Welker is working even on Revis Island.<br />
<br />
5. Baltimore Ravens 3-1 (prv 5): Hopefully Joe Flacco's issues have been somewhat resolved over the bye. <br />
<br />
6. Buffalo Bills 4-1 (prv 9): Big win against the dream team and now their tour through the NFC East continues with a big game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium. <br />
<br />
7. San Diego Chargers 4-1 (prv 10): For some reason, and maybe it's a bias of the west coast, but this team does not impress me though they are very talented.A bye week may actually drop them in the rankings - out of sight, out of mind.<br />
<br />
8. San Francisco 49ers 4-1 (prv NR): Who would have thought that Alex Smith would be 4-1, IN THE NFL, not during a strike season playing with scabs? <br />
<br />
9. Washington Redskins 4-1 (prv NR): Just like the 49ers, this team is all about coaching. As long as the skins can run the ball effectively, Rex Grossman will play well and the wins will add up.<br />
<br />
10. Oakland Raiders 3-2 (prv NR): If you are old school like me, you may have not liked the Raiders in the 1970's but you enjoyed watching them and respected what Al built. The Silver and Black seems they have moved from the 'Committment to Excrement' back to the 'Committment to Excelllence' motto Al created.<br />
<br />
11. NY Giants 3-2 (prv 6): Just when you think Eli has turned the corner he drops an egg against Seattle. <br />
<br />
12. Pittsburgh Steelers 3-2 (prv NR): Good to have Tomlin and the boys back in the rankings. Maybe Big Ben plays better hurt.<br />
<br />
Others receiving votes:<br />
Tennessee Titans 3-2, Dallas Cowboys 2-2, Houston Texans 3-2, Tampa Bay Bucs 3-2.<br />
<br />
Game of the Week: Buffalo vs NY Giants - though some think the Pats vs the Boys is the big game because of the star power, but with the Giants needing to keep pace with the Redskins and the Bills needing to continue to prove themselves this will be more hard fought than any other game.DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-38961468753142212992011-10-07T07:09:00.000-07:002011-10-07T07:09:09.714-07:00NFL Rankings Week 5Though it's still early, you can definitely see some signs of who is and who isn't for real and who still have some major question marks and some players who I thought was ready to make the leap are really showing their true colors - see pic below of Mr. Romo<br />

style="height: 194px; width: 259px;" width="259" /><br />
<br />
<u><strong>1. Green Bay Packers 4-0 (prev 1):</strong></u> Still the class of the league. As the defense improves they will be unbeatable. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>2. Detroit Lions 4-0 (prev 2):</u></strong> Great comeback on the road for a young team. Seven of the last 12 games are at home where the crowd will be smelling playoffs.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>3. Thee New Orleans Saints 3-1 (prev 3):</strong></u> An uneventful win with an lackluster effort. This will not cut it in the NFC South. The running game must begin to take some pressure off of the best QB in the league (bias opinion of course)<br />
<br />
<strong><u>4. New England Patriots 3-1 (prev 5):</u></strong> A very good win against an improved Raiders team with a rowdy crowd backing them. Wes Welker is on an unbelievable pace that will be challenged against the Pats #1 nemesis this week.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>5. Baltimore 3-1 (prev 6): </u></strong>At some point in time Flacco will have to step up. They gave him all the weapons he needs but he still has not made that leap from manager of a game to being the star of the game. That is the difference between 13-3 and a Super Bowl run and 10-6 and a wild card loss<br />
<br />
<strong><u>6. N.Y Giants 3-1 (prev 11):</u></strong> New York makes the jump because Eli seems as though he is making the jump from a level 2.5 QB to a 1.5 QB. At some time all of the injuries may catch up to the G-Men.<br />
<br />
<strong>7. Houston Texans 3-1 (prev 12a):</strong> If their defense continues to fight and scratch like they did against the Steelers, they can walk through a weak AFC South.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>8. Tennessee Titans 3-1 (prev NR):</u></strong> Who knew Matt Hasselbeck would be as efficient as he has played. Once Mr. Holdout Chris Johnson gets his legs under him the offense will be able to move the ball on anyone.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>9. Orchard Park Bills 3-1 (prev 7):</u></strong> Too much publicity for catching a good team on a very bad day. Now teams are getting up to play the Bills and with such a young team, they could struggle in a lot of games.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>10. San Diego Chargers 3-1 (prev NR):</u></strong> A quiet start in a weak division. The Chargers must begin beating lesser teams more definitive. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>11. Tampa Bay Bucs 3-1 (prev NR):</u></strong> I love Josh Freeman and Raheem Morris and how they just win. At San Fran and then hosting THEE New Orleans Saints will tell us a lot about the Bucs over the next 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>12a. Washington Redskins 3-1 (prev NR):</u></strong> In the words of Gomer Pile, 'Surprise Surprise'. One of the best head coaches of our era, Mike Shanahan, has REX GROSSMAN playing smart and with a stingy defense, they could actually be pretty decent this year.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>12b. LSU Tigers 5-0 (prev 12b):</u></strong> SEC! Enuff Said. If Bama and LSU wins out, Nov 5th will be the de facto National Championship<br />
<br />
Dropped out: Oakland (could be back with a big win on the road vs the Texans): Pittsburgh (Still believing in Tomlin): N.Y Jets (Sanchez): Dallas (Romo)DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-68791821021991427242011-09-29T11:03:00.000-07:002011-09-29T11:03:57.933-07:00D-Ssouth' Blog NFL Rankings Week 4<a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/aaron-rodgers-mustache.jpg"><img alt="Aaron Rodgers Interview on Michael Irvin Show - Has Not Spoken to Brett Favre in a Year" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1042" height="235" src="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/aaron-rodgers-mustache.jpg" style="border-bottom: black 5px solid; border-left: black 5px solid; border-right: black 5px solid; border-top: black 5px solid; float: left; margin: 5px;" title="aaron-rodgers-mustache" width="235" /></a><br />

There really is no use putting up no more than 12 teams. What use is it to rank teams like Seattle, KC or Carolina (though I am a big time Cam Newton SEC fan).Even some of the 2-1 teams are not very good. Can you say Cleveland? <br />
<br />
I am sure that as the weeks ahead begin to shake out the pretenders from the contenders, we will get a clearer idea of the real big dogs for the season.<br />
<br />
So, without further talk, here we go, the debut of the 2011 NFL DSouth rankings.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>1. Green Bay Packers 3-0</u></strong> - So many weapons, great innovative coaching and able to win on the road. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>2. Detroit Lions 3-0</u></strong> - Calvin Johnson is a beast and once a team like this, with a QB so young starts to win they believe the can beat any body. In a since, it reminds me of Dallas of the early 90's<br />
<br />
<strong><u>3. Thee New Orleans Saints 2-1</u></strong> - I realize that the Saints D will give up all the yards in the world but will make a crucial interception, a big sack or cause a fumble at the right time to give the ball to the best QB in the NFL with weapons galore.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>4. Dallas Cowboys 2-1</strong></u> - You may not like Tony Romo but I'm sure he takes his $10 million plus and doesn't care what we think. The Boys are rich with talent and can bang with the best of them.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>5. New England Patriots 2-1</u></strong> - Still has the best coach and the best system in the league. Defense needs some serious pass rushing help and line needs to get more physical.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>6. Baltimore Ravens 2-1</u></strong> - Just a nasty D and if Flacco can actually make some plays, this team could be very dangerous.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>7. Buffalo Bills 3-0</u></strong> - I know they are undefeated, and I know they had a great come from behind win against the Pats but I am still very cautious to rank them too high. If this were a college, the Bills would be like Clemson. You just can't trust them yet despite the big wins.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>8. Da Raiders 2-1</u></strong> - On here simply because of Darren McFadden. Just as nasty as they come out of the SEC. Big test this week against the Pats.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>9. Pittsburgh Steelers 2-1</u></strong> - Their line better get better real fast or they will be carting Big Ben off the field real soon. People talked about the age of the D early but my favorite coach, Mike Tomlin, got these boys playing well.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>10. NY Jets 2-1</u></strong> - Ugly loss against Oaktown and may have been surprised by the physicality of the Raiders. It will not happen again. With that said, if Mr. Pretty Boy Sanchez doesn't find a pair of marbles and get that West coast, I wanna be Tom Brady, behavior out of him, this team will never reach it's potential.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>11. NY Giants 2-1</u></strong> - A big win against Philly puts them in good position but until Eli can deliver that type of performance week-in and week-out, they will not be the NFC East champs.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>12a. Houston Texans 2-1</u></strong> - A down year in the AFC South due to the Colts issues makes the Texans the favorite and they have proved that they can score, but the D is still suspect.<br />

Lets just say that I don't actively root for the Bills even though I live here. Also, being that I do not read the local paper or watch the lame local news, I really have no feelings vested in what they do. But with the Bills being 3-0 and coming off of a huge win against Punk Brady and the Pats. I must say that they have showed a lot of heart and most of all athleticism during this first part of the season. It's good coming in work and seeing people so enthused and excited. I must admit the city needs it. Let me say it again - THE CITY OF BUFFALO NEEDS IT.<br />
<br />
When you really get down to the nitty-gritty, the Bills are not Buffalo, they are the Orchard Park Bills. The reason I am making this an issue is because of something George Wilson, the Bills starting SS said after the game when discussing the crowd at Ralph Wilson stadium and how the players feed off of the noise of their 12th man. His statement was good for publicity but totally off base. To paraphrase, he said the Bills have a special relationship with the Buffalo community. What community is George referring to? The suburbs? I have been in the Queen city for over 13 years and that organization has never been close, related, involved, and rarely seen in the real community here - except when the players come to town to pick up a sista or two, or 50 if you were talking about Eric Moulds back in the day. Players like Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, or Nate Odoms never identified with the city.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, since the Bills moved to Orchard Park in the 70's they moved their community focus to the suburbs also. Yes they may have a gratuitous showing in the inner-city, but for the most part, their contribution to 'Real' Buffalo has been void. More than likely, mostly every African-American citizen of Buffalo would tell you the the Bills have no impact in the city of Buffalo. In fact, the city is set up this way all together.<br />
<br />
For those of you who do not know, according to the census, Buffalo was the 6th most segregated city in the USA (<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/03/29/most_segregated_cities/slideshow.html">http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/03/29/most_segregated_cities/slideshow.html</a>). People live in the suburbs, drive to the city, work and make their money in the city and then spend it in the suburbs. There is even a highway built along the water, which easily takes them to and from the suburbs without having to drive past the 'hood'. I can go on forever about issues of Buffalo but let me get back to the subject at hand - the Orchard Park Bills.<br />
<br />
The problem with the Bills begins at the top with it's owner, Ralph Wilson. For reasons beyond the scope of this blog, I do not have a nice thing to say about Mr. Wilson personally, so I will stick to what I do know. What I know is that Mr. Wilson moved the Bills stadium from the city to the suburb of Orchard Park in 1973. A well to do, high-middle class neighborhood, Orchard Park is known as having a very racist past, even to the Buffalo Bills players who play there. Mr. Wilson will tell you that he moved the stadium because the old War Memorial Stadium ,where the Bills were housed in the 1960's, was run down and old. In addition, post AFL-NFL merger, the NFL mandated a stadium had to have a capacity minimum of 50,000 while War Memorial Stadium only had a max of 47,000. So Ralph moved to Orchard Park. I'm not blaming Mr. Wilson for the demise of Buffalo, but I believe that move, along with the segregated attitude of white Buffalonians really killed the city. We are talking about a city that can't and will not develop the Waterfront to bring in new business. We are talking about a city that it's main college, University of Buffalo moved it's main campus to THE SUBURBS. They moved to get out of the city. Really? I'm sure there is a 'logical' explanation for this but when it's all said and done, we know why. <br />
<br />
I can go on about some of the borderline racism of the city but let try to get back to the subject a hand - the Orchard Park Bills and how they have no relationship with THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE CITY. George Wilson needs to stop modeling and acting and get the rest of his boys down to the inner-city and get active with these kids who are in need of them as mentors and role models. And you are telling me, Mr. Ralph Wilson, who had the foresight to buy the Bills for $25,000 (now worth over $800 billion), doesn't see how much he can impact Western New York as a whole by putting a new stadium, downtown, on the waterfront? Not only would there be a sense of pride for the city, but the measurables are jobs - IN THE CITY, tax dollars which can be used to fund schools, more hotels and new businesses opening. In other words, the Baltimore model. <br />
<br />
Buffalo has a lot of potential and there are pockets of greatness here already but until the mindset is changed and the economy is open to ALL people it will always be a second class city. The Orchard Parks Bills can change this by just being involved.

It was during the Saints Superbowl run and the dome was rocking. The dome is always a tough place to play. It could be deafening in there and on this night it was exceptionally loud. It was my first game to see the Bless You Boys play since I was about 10 years old. Me and the Kenilworth Krew (all of my childhood buddies) were there and it was a special night. The Saints were undefeated and the Pats were coming in to the lions den. This game would be the Saints big test. The football world wanted to know if they could play against the big boys and their field general Tom Brady. This was the mighty Patriots.They were 2001-2003-2004 Superbowl Champions. They have a genius as a head coach and the dynasty label. <br />
<br />
The Pats took the early lead and it looked like Brady was well....Brady. Boom boom boom score. Looked like two outcomes were going to happen in my mind. Either the game was going to be an all out shoot out because Brady looked very sharp, or it was going to be an embarrassing blowout for the Saints and it would start a downward spiral. The kind of loss that sends a team like the saints in to a 5 game losing streak, a playoff loss and a total let down. <br />
<br />
What actually happened was Drew Brees was perfect, the crowd stood up and got crunked and I learned something about the leader of the Pats - Tom Brady.<br />
<br />
Our seats were in the club level of the dome behind the Pats Bench and I saw some things that stuck with me that night. What I really took away was that Tom Brady was a total Punk. It wasn't one particular play but his whole game. This dude had happy feet. He was such a punk when it came to sitting in the pocket. He panicked like a you know what when Greg Williams started sending the pressure on him and once they began to knock him around, the punk just went in to hiding. I had seen it during the their Super Bowl game against the Giants. He just can't handle pressure and will even take a fall if the pocket collapses. I am talking about a guy who is considered one of the best QB's ever and he is a punk in the pocket. Yes, he is smart, talented, and when he is on, he will eat you alive. I am also aware that no QB likes to be hit, but I would expect him to Man Up. He reminds me of Dan Marino who I got to see up close first hand. As great a passer as Marino was he was a little whining baby and as that game progressed against the Saints, I saw how he just went in to a shell. That night I realized who he was - a front runner on an extremely great team in the early 2000's. Do you realize how awful the Pats have been in the playoffs in the past 4 years. One and done baby. They've lost to teams who put pressure on Brady and have no respect for him - specifically the Ravens, Jets and Steelers. <br />
<br />
Looking at him play the Buffalo Bills today, I realized just how 'fragile' his <span style="background-color: yellow;">mindset</span> is and how he gets rattled. <br />
<br />
He is way too Hollywood now and maybe he feels he should not be hit, or he is above being touched. Either way, I think his Super Bowl run is OVER and only he is to blame. He will continue to put up numbers because that is the nature of the watered down NFL we are seeing now but he will not have the guts to man up, sit in the pocket, and lead his team when the pressure is on. He benefited from a great team in the early 2000's and yes he is talented but when it's all said and done, at the end of the day, TOM BRADY IS A PUNKDSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631869938333773861.post-46652260379694969952011-09-10T18:11:00.000-07:002011-09-10T18:11:38.010-07:00The NFL is tomorrow - WHO CARESWhat up sports world. Happy NFL football eve. Though it seems the world revolves around the money, i.e, the NFL I am more of a college fan. Mainly because I like the homegrown rivalaries which they emcompas. Now I know there are some NFL games which have some type of mean spirited hatred, but it is fan based. In college, it really can take on a sense of pride for both the players and the fans. Games such as Auburn vs Alabama means something to the players and the game takes on special pride for the alumni. Most of the players are from the state of Alabama and most of them had to make the choice between accepting a schoolarship from either Bama or Auburn. When LSU plays Alabama, it's really the STATE of Lousiana vs the STATE of Alabama. Check out their rosters and see how many players hail from their school state. It means something. This weekend in the NFL, the best rivalry in my mind takes place between the Steelers and the Ravens. I love the animosity between the players and the passion that Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Troy Palamalu and Hines Ward play with. But what happens when these two teams suck in the future? Then there is no rivalry. The players will have no care about playing the other team and the fans disdain for the other team will wane. In the 90's, it was the 49ers and Dallas, it was the Bills vs the Dolphins and it was Denver vs the Raiders. Do any of these games have any meaning now? Do these teams even care about each other? The players have no animosity towards each other. When I was a player wayyyyyy back in the day for Oregon State University, we really sucked, but the Civil War, the game against in state rival Oregon, brought out the juice in both the fans and players. It was something special. I wasn't even from the state but really had a dislike for the Ducks. It didn't matter what the records were. All that mattered was winning the game. My senior year, we beat Oregon 21-10, Over 20 years have passed but I can remember the score and practically all the plays. It meant that much. The NFL is manufactured rivalries which come and go. Wherever the money is, the NFL exploits it. I'm not a hater, and I understand that the NFL is a business but with that I believe the NFLcomprimises the game of football. I believe the NFL actually sucks. It sucks because it rarely lives up to the advertised product, it sucks because the players seem more like creations from systems and not pure ballers, and it's just boring to watch a 4 hour telecast and I haven't even gotten to the behavior of the Chad Johnsons of the league. The NFL just doesn't do it for me anymore. But right now, at 9 pm in a Saturday night, I am watching about my 10th game of college football instead of the 3 games on a Sunday. So thank God for the NCAA and college football, and most of all thank God for the SEC - where men play football.DSOUTHBLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808391484715643470noreply@blogger.com0
