This post is all over the map

Well congrats to the Phillies for winning the World Series. Its probably a good day to be in Philadelphia. A city I like, so they can enjoy this, before having to deal with the Flyers and 76ers for the rest of the winter. I don't think I would have picked the Phillies at the beginning of the year, or even at the start of the Playoffs. I had the Red Sox winning it again. It was also nice to have it end at 10pm. A reasonable end time for a game. This game probably would have been over at Midnight, if it went 9 innings. People get to go to sleep early and the Philly fans can party longer, so it works for everyone.

The Bills are rather banged up of late. Unlike the Sabres, this team can't withstand injuries to key role players. Reed, Schobel and Butler are probably out. McGee and Youbouty are still hurt in the secondary. And the still don't know who is at center Preston or Fowler. The injury to Reed is big, since Trent trusts Josh to get that 1st down when its 3rd and 6. And Chris Brown has some frightening stats about the secondary, since the injuries started to happen there.

Completion pct. Allowed
1st 4 games – 49.6%
Last 3 games – 76.2%

Opponent passer rating
1st 4 games – 64.3
Last 3 games – 109.8

Yikes. Lets hope McGee and Youbouty are better. Because Favre isn't what he used to be, but he's still Brett Favre. Time to lock things down and win the next two games they are critical for the season. Must win game time this week. And it starts with the defense.

The NBA started their season.

Couldn't care less.

Griffs hockey is underway, so lets hope they have more brawls with RIT in the works, nobody messes with the Griffs. NOBODY.

I love the recent comments to my blog. Basically because of the Mair incident, and the Ottawa bloggers, trying to defend Neil. I don't care if hes a nice guy off the ice, because hes a cheap shot artist on it. Yes i know he does defend himself. And for the last time the Drury hit wasn't clean, it was a head shot on the Captain. If thats not a no no in the NHL I don't know what is. I just don't like Ottawa from management on down. But I appreciate the traffic. So thanks for coming by and posting your opinion.

Last night me and the Fiance attending a sales pitch, there was a free trip for going, but ended up walking out with $3000 in cookware. He was quite the salesman and the product itself was impressive. Plus we get two trips out of the whole process. Cookware even I couldn't screw up cooking stuff with. It whistles when its done! Like a teapot! Plus you can stack stuff on the burner and it will heat all the way up. Can't wait till its delivered.

Lets talk about the Playoffs






Well here we are at the conference championships. Which are usually better games then the Super Bowl. But its the last football for 2 weeks until the Super Bowl, then Football is over. Which is rather sad, because I love football. I like hockey, but I can get tired of it quick. But, these games are hyped up and you get 3 hours of action. I thought I write about the games a bit. Since they are important in the sports landscape.

First up Pats Vs Chargers

Well the Patriots continue their quest for destiny and the perfect season. Yesterday getting a haircut there was discussion about hoping the Patriots lose. I don't feel that way, I think seeing a team complete the perfect season, no matter who, even the hated Patriots, is something to root for. Over the years I have come to appreciate Tom Brady for how great and consistent he is. There is something lacking in the NFL these days and its consistent excellent play. I wish he played for the NY Giants or something, but that Sunday game in Buffalo, might have been one of his best performances. It was perfect. So I would expect that today. The chargers I absolutely can't stand. They are filled with jerks and overhyped players. They are walking into trap and they are going to get absolutely blown out by a team who had its toughest challenge last week in Jacksonville. We can say good night and Lights out for the Chargers today.

Next Packers Giants

Well I know its gonna be cold, its cold here. But I really haven't seen why the Packers are so good this year. Is because the competition isn't that good? Is Brett Favre magically better this year for some reason? Is Ryan Grant a real answer at running back? I have no clue. They just manage to win games. Their defense is rather good, so that helps. But the Giants defense is rather good too. Thats why in a cold nasty weather game, I don't expect that many points. I see one of those 13-10 slugfests, that comes to a last second kick. I feel the packers will prevail, because I don't trust Eli Manning. They won in Buffalo despite him, and its all about defense and running the football. But should be one of those classic bad weather games that will replay on the NFL network for 2 weeks on loop.

Well enjoy the games we ain't got much football left.
