Super Bowl

Wow, was that pathetic or what. I'm gonna tag McNabb with the overrated tag (and no it's not because he's black either). What the hell was he doing? How much time did the Eagles waste in the last 5 minutes? Is this man not smart enough to call 2 plays in one huddle? It's not exactly rocket science. So at the start I was sort of pissed that I was working and was pretty much gonna miss the entire first half of the Super Bowl. With the way the 2nd half turned out I wouldn't have mind missing that either. What a terrible game. What a terrible finish. I can't remember the last time I was this apathetic going into a championship game in ANY sport (and I mean ANY). McNabb was horrible....and especially those last 5 minutes. I don't want to see anyone mention him among the top QBs in the league. He looked lost out there in the 4th quarter. What the hell were they doing running down all that time with less then 5 minutes to go? T.O played a hell of a game. Westbrook was nice too......McNabb just killed the Eagles. Eagle fans/McNabb fans.......there's only one word to describe McNabb tonight....O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. He choked when it mattered....and I mean choked. I don't want to see no Chunky Soup commercials with him or his damn mother until this man can prove he can lead his team with something on the line.



So....when to pitchers and catchers report?

No Hockey

Yeah, so barring an absolute last second miracle there will be absolutely no NHL this year. I have to say Goodenow is an idiot.......but the owners are no saints here either. Everyone knows the union will end accepting a cap at some point, it's just unfortunate that the idiots can't see that right now. They'll agree to a deal sometime next January......a deal they probably could've had months ago. This one isn't gonna end looking good. There's no way for the losing side to save face. They can't brush it up like the MLB negotiations because these negotiations boil down to just one issue.....is there a hard cap or not? There' s not gonna be a middle line and that pretty much kills any hopes for a smooth sailing in negotiations from now on. Ofcourse the owners have their share of the blame too. If these idiots could just control themselves a bit we wouldn't have these ridiculously high salaries. It's unfortunate that we could lose franchises because of this (let's hope the Devils are the first to go). The Players Union needs to wake up fast. If the last TV contract wasn't a wakeup call, I don't know if there will ever be one. The NHL is making NO guaranteed money from it's deal with NBC. Granted NBC is gonna be great for hockey....but it's not instant money for the NHL. Leave me your thoughts on this. You have any solutions that are realistic? I mean do we really wanna be stuck watching only basketball for the next 2-3 months?

Welcome

Welcome, so it looks like I've once again entered the world of bloggers. I don't know why I stopped "blogging" the first time but this time should be different. So, what should you expect to see here? Most of the time you'll see my views here on sports and politics. Now for those of you know me (and chances are you're reading this because you know me) you already know which way my loyalties lie....and what most of my views would probably will be. Chances are that you're gonna disagree with me(especialy on the political stuff) but sign up and leave your comments here anyhow and hopefully it builds towards a solid discussion. You'll see the occasional movie review here.....although I gotta say I'm not that regular of a movie goer. You can expect toread my views on things that annoy me in the world and things that need to be changed. Hey, I gotta vent somwhere about Bush and Co. for the next 4 years right? With that said continue on you as you see the The World According to.....Me.
