3 out of 4 on the NFL Playoffs...but missing Tampa Bay was not a bad thing. I almost put them in the Super Bowl, that was stupid. Somehow I tend to overrate certain teams and always think they are better than they really are. These teams include Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh in the NFL, Texas (not this year), Tennessee, and Michigan in College Football, and the Phillies and Red Sox in MLB.
I was upset to see Carson Palmer go down, that really messed the Bungles up. Carolina was nasty in the Meadowlands, Eli Manning looked like his bro a few years back in his first playoffs. Finally, the Pats are rounding into January form. I just hope they keep it up in Denver...but then again, it is January, so the Broncos should revert to their post-season choke form.
Wild weekend of college basketball. Huge wins for Iowa, West Virginia, Miami, North Carolina, Washington St (@ Washington!?!), and Wisconsin, among others. I also watched UCONN struggle with LSU on Saturday, then defeat Cincinnati tonight. Marcus Williams is gradually starting to fit in to the flow. He and Hilton Armstrong took over against the Bearcats. Two positives here: Armstrong is a senior who STUNK his first three years. Not really, but everytime I saw him play, he looked like he just pooped his britches. Never comfortable and rarely productive. Now, he is a legit first rounder for the NBA Draft in June, as Jay Bilas noted. He does the little things well and is fundamentally sound. Second, Cincinnati is the story of the season thus far. I am so impressed with the effort of that team with only ten players. Andy Kennedy, the interim coach, has done a terrific job maxing out the potential of his team. I would never call myself a Bearcats fan, but this group plays so hard that they might be winning me over.
Marcus Vick deserves his own column. But, enough people are writing about it. I do find it ironic that he was hyped and praised all year, but the second he commits an on-field no-no (stepping on Elvis Dummervill, the Louisville All-American), he is a bad guy. I too flipped out more about the on-field thing, and here's my reasoning: kids make mistakes off the field, but it takes a real jerk to do what he did to Dummervill. I witnessed it and he can't hide behind it. However, he is obviously screwing things up. Michael Vick should cut him off and make him survive without big bro to hide behind, but instead, some NFL team will draft him and make him a millionaire and starter. He'll land on his feet somewhere...I just hope some d-lineman isn't under one of those feet.
WWE shocker at the Pay Per View: Edge is the World Champion, at least until Royal Rumble. I hate Edge so much, and Lita too. So, after getting over the shock that they actually put the title on Edge, I think it might work. Insert "o face" here. Maybe everyone hates Edge enough that he'll get legitimate heat when he wrestles. I know I'd mark out and boo the crap out of him. But, in reality, he probably deserves a shot at the title and a run as champion. We'll see...
Good win by the Blue Team this weekend. Sick dunk, seniors stepping up, and a freshmen who looks like he stepped out of 1962. I love it. Please keep it up.
Alright, enough babbling. Wobble wobble, peace out.
