Weekend Hits

• Giants pulled out a close one. Ugly game with the Giants having a lot of players out with injuries. Got by, which is something the Bears did not do against Miami. Next week the Bears are coming into Giants Stadium for a Sunday night game. If the Jints can win, they will be in the drivers seat not only in the division buy in the NFC for home field.
• Congrats Relaxo....Your Phins might not get the #1 pick after all...
• In case anyone missed it...Joe Paterno broke his leg on Saturday...http://youtube.com/watch?v=mwiRKkrg_14 ...I refuse to laugh, but if you do I have no problems with it..
• The NFL is impossible to bet on this year. Detroit, San Fran, and Miami all won outright as dogs gettin more than four.
• Brady played a poor game on Sunday, while Manning played pretty well. Weird game with a lot of turnovers, missed FGs and bad calls. Definitely a sloppier game on both sides than anyone would have predicted. Reminded me of the Giants/Indy game from opening night in the respect that Indy never trailed the entire game and even though it was close, they always seemed in control.
• I think the AFC is going to come down to Pats/Colts AFC title game in Indy. The AFC West will beat each other up, and the Ravens are just not at the level of the elite in my mind. Manning and the Colts have once again set up the AFC playoffs perfectly. Its up to them to win at home in the playoffs...
• Pats/Jets next week. You think Brady will be mad after his four INT performance against Indy? I can see him going off next week... Sorry Smurph.
• Crazy ending to the Dallas/Washington game. Great to see TO mocking himself falling asleep in meetings and then dropping sure TD catches. Also nice hearing Vanderjagt throwing his O-Line under the bus to the media after the blocked kick. Has this guy ever made a clutch kick in his life? Have some class...
• Rutgers/Louisville Thursday night in Jersey....Biggest game in Rutgers' history...You know the BCS is hoping Louisville gets knocked off so they don't have to see them in the title game..
• Steelers are done.
• The Bengals sure talk a lot for a team that has won one division title and no playoff games.
• Are the Celtics just setting themselves up for Greg Odom?
• Very happy to see the unrelenting Knick fans getting all over that pathetic performance on Saturday night. I was hopeful in my preview and jubilation following the first game of the season. I am now back with full rage and disdain for Isiah, Dolan, Marbury and the rest of that pathetic crap they call a basketball team in the Garden. They insult me and every other Knick fan every day with their play and insulting rhetoric to the media. Great to see them charging top dollar to fans for seats the media and announcers used to occupy. Only a few short years ago they renamed the announcing booth after the legendary announcer Marty Glickman (a mentor for Marv Albert and others), and now they are sealing its occupancy. Anything to squeeze more cash out of a team that on opening night had many empty seats and luxury boxes through out the Garden. I better stop now...
• http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/06/sports/basketball/06iverson.html?ref=sports ...Decent article on Iverson. Has been my favorite player in the league for a while now. The ultimate warrior, outspoken, honest and true to himself. You gotta respect him this sure hall of famer. Doubt he will get a title, but it should not matter when you consider the unreal things he has done in this League.
• I recommend you read Michael Lewis' article on Bill Parcells from last weeks' New York Times magazine. Great profile of a very interesting man. I purchased Lewis' new book Blind Side. I haven't started it yet, but he is a great writer and I am sure it is going to be great. I will update once I finish it.
• First big baseball offseason week. MVPs and Cy Youngs announced, and Matsuzaka bid winner...I would not be surprised if the Yankees look to trade Sheffield quick. The more he talks the more his value will drop...
• Big ups to my boy Son for running the NYC Marathon. While he did not keep up wit Lance, he did a great job. No more sittin home and stayin sober my friend!
• Gunna work on a big Knicks post comin soon. As you can tell the frustration has reached an insane level, and I am ready to express the hate to the world.
• http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1554852,00.html ...How I Met Your Father??
• Slow sports scene right now. Hoping the MLB offseason picks up steam, Mich/OSU in a couple weeks, Bears/Giants this weekend, Isiah watch will soon be in full effect as well...
