PATS VS. COLTS

On Sunday, the Patriots and Colts will meet in a battle of undefeated teams, which may turn out to be a preview of this year's AFC title game. These two conference foes have become quite familiar with each other over the last few years and Sunday's game has the makings of a classic.
So far this season, the Patriots have mercilessly rolled over all comers, behind the brilliant play of Tom Brady, who seems poised to rewrite the NFL record book this year. The Patriots' brilliance has largely overshadowed the incredible season the defending Super Bowl champs are having. The Colts, and their star quarterback Peyton Manning, can remedy that with a win in Indianapolis.

As the big game nears, we want to know which team SportsNation thinks has the edge. Can the Colts' defense hold the Patriots' offense? Which team has the better quarterback? And which player will have the biggest impact on the game?

Couture Explains Reasons For Walking Away

Cowboys? More like Cow...noise!?!?!?

Yeah I said cow noise. Mooooooooo. Which could possibly sound like Booooooooo if you weren't listening intently. And that's what the cowboys should NOT be getting. Boooo's. Are ya lost yet? Are ya? Let me explain. The Cowboys should not be discouraged by the 48-27 loss to the NE Patriots. They were suppose to lose. Everyone is suppose to lose to these guys. Their friggin great. Tom Brady is a champion, Randy is Dandy, Wes is white and really fast, Dante is enfuego, the o line is near flawless which puts any running back in a prime position, and our defense is just better than yours. So lets give the cowboys a little credit. I mean before this game 99% of the media was in love with the fact (opinion really) that Tony Romo was the second coming of Brett Favre. Don't forget what has made Brett Favre so incredible. He's been playing for 135 years and never missed a game. Romo has played 10 or so...Let's get real. The kid is pretty good and pulls some good looking girls but he's got a long way to go. The Dallas D sacked Brady 3 time and forced a fumble for a touch down. That's better than all 5 teams before them combined. Dallas did a lot of good things I'm sure would be good enough to beat anyone else out there. So good job Dallas probably see you in the super bowl. Also, Wade Phillips father's name is Bum... Bum Phillips. That's just funny.

Texas Toast

The Patriots pounded the Cowboys today by a score of 48-27. The lopsided score gives no indication that the game was close in the third quarter and that the 'Boys had, in fact, taken a 24-21 lead. It also doesn't include 2 touchdowns - both by Randy Moss - that were taken away, one on a challenge and one by offensive pass interference.

In the process, three much-ballyhooed matchups never really materialized. The first was the obvious pairing of two undefeated teams and the rampant speculation that Dallas could stop the New England offense. Once Tom Brady passed for 3 touchdowns in the first half alone, that speculation seemed to be proven incorrect and New England scored seemingly at will to take complete control of the game late in the third.

The second matchup involves a pair of 81s, Moss and Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens. They both had 6 catches, Moss for 59 yards and Owens for 66, with one TD each. Moss had the two nullified scores but the reality is that neither figured prominently, at least statistically speaking. Moss had a greater impact on the outcome of the game, however, as the double- and triple-teaming freed both Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth from coverage. Welker went 11-124, 2 TDs and Stallworth had 7 catches for 136 yards including a 69 yard throw-and-catch that was New England's longest pass play of the year. By contrast, none of Dallas' other receivers gained more than 66 yards.

The last was the contest between the alleged "cheater", Bill Belichick, and the "bleater", Wade Phillips. By now, most people have probably heard about the comments Phillips allegedly made to Sports Illustrated columnist, Peter King; comments which the head coach now says that he never made. Admittedly, King is becoming a boring one-note wonder with his incessant harping on Videogate but I hardly think he would be so foolhardy as to jeopardize his career by falsely attributing comments to someone by name. (Note to King: take a page from "Shank" Shaughnessy's playbook and go the "unnamed sources in the locker room" route) All Phillips accomplished was to hand bulletin-board fodder to the Patriots and make his team vulnerable to today's beatdown. He telegraphed his intent to double-team Moss "all day" in a radio interview several days ago which obviously gave Belichick time to develop his counter-strategy. In short, Phillips was outcoached and outclassed by the Patriots head coach, both on- and off the field.

With losses by the Jets and Dolphins, and Buffalo's bye week, the Patriots already have a 5 game lead in the division. New England travels to Miami next week to face the winless Dolphins, a trap game if ever there was one.

Curt seals the deal!!


I wasn't sure the ol' man had it in him, but Curt was flat out dealing last night. As soon as PAPI and Man-Ram went back to back I knew it was over but I did not think Schill had that kind of performance in HIM.
Great JOB

Bing Bong's Red Sox Playoff Prediction



Tonight the Boston Red Sox will take on the two-town Angels for game two of the ALDS. Most blogs will comment on things that happened the past but this unique post is going outline the TBS broadcast for 8:30 tonight. Let's get started
  • Dice K will throw the first pitch high and outside.

  • The umpires will blow 3 calls. 2 in the favor of the red sox

  • Jose Mota will freeze up on screen then spontaneously cumbust

  • Manny goes yard to right center

  • Youuuk will get beaned

  • Varitek will go 0-3 with a walk

  • J.D. will stay hot going 2-4 followed by a pulled big toe

  • Jacoby will contribute "something like a phenomenon" (Ladies Love Cool James)

  • Final Score: Red Sox 8 Angels 3

  • Over-Under Jose Mota Mistakes - 16 through 3 appearances

  • Over-Under pitches missed due to poor TBS broadcasting - 26

  • I also predict the Terry Francona will pack the biggest chewie of his life




That all

RED SOX AL CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION






















NOT SURE WHO TOOK THESE BY THEY FOUND THEIR WAY TO MY INBOX AND WHO AM i NOT TO SERVE THEM UP TO THE PUBLIC.






The Gambler

If you enjoy, or in my case are addicted to gambling here are this week's NFL LOCKS!

-Bet the wife and kids on Jacksonville -2 at KC (The Chiefs had a great win last week on the road against the Chargers and a sign of a poorly coached team is losing at home right after a great road win).

- 3 Team Teaser (6 point) of the week: Tease Tenn to -2, Pitt to pick em, and Houston to +1

As John Anthony would say - I know these teams better than they know themselves...Let's make some money.

Scouting Report from WIKI and ... Jose Mota



After Josh's outstanding proformance last night, 12 Miller Lites, 2 Bong Rips and 4 hours of sleep, I knew that something had to be said of this impressive showing. But what can you said that the TBS announcers didn't already put into poetry? Well two things actually. The first can be found below in red. It's the scouting report from wikipedia on Josh Beckett. Maybe the Angels should have taken a look at it because they just looked silly. The second point I would like to bring up is that TBS sucks. And heres why------>


Jose Mota! Ohh my freaking God, Jose, you are horrible. You are the lettuce, tomato and special sauce on this whopper-sized-sh!t-burger TBS calls a broadcast of the AL and NLDS. Your comments during the 5th inning of last nights game were coming in at about a 3rd grade level. I mean I actually stood up looked around and asked out loud " Am I High or did Jose Mota just put together 6 sentences that have nothing to do with each other." I mean he really got locked up. Thank Comcast for DVR cause i watched that train wreak about 4 times in a row. TBS needs to step it up. Stop missing the first two pitches of every other inning. Stop pulling has-beens out of the crowd to talk about baseball. And stop trying to be a sports network. Stick to what you do best TBS, reruns of Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond.





And Don Orsillo.... F YOU!







"Beckett is a power pitcher with an over-the-top delivery. His four-seam fastball ranges from 92-98 mph, and Beckett imparts heavy tailing action to move it through the zone. He complements this with a heavy sinker (90-94 mph) a two-seam fastball (91-94 mph) a deceptive changeup that tails in at 82-86 mph, and an effective hard-breaking curve (73-79 mph). Beckett generally frustrates hitters by painting the outside corner with his fastball, tailing his changeups inside, and striking batters out swinging with his sinker and 12-6 curve."

Steve was at the game!

"Throw It Back! Throw It Back!"

Last Thursday I attended the Sox-Twins game at Fenway in one of the $495 dollar bleacher seats. I usually picture the singing recliners from Bob's Discount Furniture when I think about $500 dollar seats, but from sitting in the tiny bleacher seats I decided the only practical household function would be turning them into a baby high chair. I am sure they are sanitary. Nonetheless, the location of the seats proved worthwhile as a Twins home run ball landed two seats over. I got two finger tips on it, but not enough to reel it in. Believe me I am still kicking myself for not checking my girlfriend back a row for those extra couple of inches. The ball kicked around and someone picked it up, and everyone started chanting "Throw it back! Throw it back!" The guy did and then, to everyone's surprise, security came over and kicked him out. We all quickly learned why you never see highlights of fans throwing back home run balls at Fenway. I have mentioned this to a few people, and all were surprised of the Fenway Park policy. So let me warn you that even if Paul O'Neil is resurrected and hits a home run ball to you, and you feel the evilness sink into your skin with every second you hold it in your hand, don't throw it back. Instead offer to a bright eyed, young Yankee fan before throwing it in the trash.

OUTSTANDING JOSH BECKETT


All I have to say is WOW! I met up at a local bar with an old buddy of mine and we watched the game, screamed and shouted and high fived. Beckett was out of this world and 1 word dominant. How lucky are we to have the sox and the Patriots? So lucky.


I'll wright some more on this tomorrow but ill finish with one word....WOW!!!

AND THAT'S JUST COLLEGE FOOTBALL!


The New York Mets ended the greatest downward spiral of suck in baseball history. The Rockies win 14 of 15 to clinch a playoff spot. The NFL is an unpredictable hodgepodge of unpredictability (for example: Lions over Bears...What the F*&K?!?!?). NASCAR's Clint Bowyer is on his way to winning...never mind no one cares. What I'm getting at is that this weekend put every bookie in the black for the rest of the season. This past weekend was sickening. Thank God I'm not a betting man and thank God for the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. Do you smell what I'm Cooking?
