NFL Preview

How bout we talk some NFL today eh? Man, I'm so happy that the Lions picked up Kitna, that guy is pretty sweet dude, if you saw em against Pittburgh in the Wild Card round of the playoffs this year when Carson Palmer tore his ACL during the 2nd play of the game. Even though they lost to the eventual champs, he had a sweet game completing some sweet passes even with Chris Henry out of the game (was hurt on the same play as Palmer, the one where Plamer threw to him) and Chad Johnson looking like an elementary school kid trying to catch for the first time (sucking). Well, I'm not sayin the Lions are playoff worthy, but they'll be better than 6-10 as long as no key guys get injured.
How bout those other moves too eh? Culpepper to the Dolphins for a second-round pick? Brees signing as big a' deal as Tom Brady, even though he completley destroyed his shoulder in the last game of the season against Denver? TO to the Cowboys? It was kind of like the offseason of the NHL this year. The NHL had a ton more changes, but this is pretty big for the NFL. I've never seen such a large amount of players change teams in a single season in NFL history. And dont forget we still have the draft to go, with more aquistions and moves awaiting us. And now that the Saints picked up Brees, as well as the Texans exersizing their option on David Carr, the Titans will have the first choice of any QB they want. They had better either take Leinart or Young, if they take that damn Vanderbilt guy (Jay Cutler) man am I gonna go crazy. How the hell is he so highly ranked? They went like 4-11 or something, why is he one of the top 3 QB's in the draft? What did he ever do to get even considered by the Titans to be taken over Matt Leinart or Vince Young? Though to tell you the truth, I think they're gonna take Young. They had so much success with McNair before they got rid of every superstar but him that they're gonna want another rushing QB to replace him. No regular QB is ever gonna good for sure, only the rushing QBs have a small bit of future proimsed to them unless injurt falls upon them. I'd take Vince Young, and think the Titans are going to too, espesically considering that McNair will be there with him for a full season, to take him under his wing and show him the ropes of a rushing QB.
By the way, did you know that George Mason made the Final Four in 2000 as well? Wow, that name (Patriots) has some luck in it.
Well, the lazy-assed Pistons are playing the 2nd ranked Mavs tonite. I think they actually just got bored of constantly winning. Wow, well, if they play tonite like they've been playing latley, they're gonna get destroyed, but who cares, they already have a garanteed playoof spot right?
Well, thats its for me, peace man

Losing Money and Pride

Alright, i went 1 for 4 in the Final Four, and my brackets are done. I took Villinova, Texas, Gonzaga and North Carolina in my Final Four, and this weekend i took Villinova (wrong), Texas (wrong), Memphis (wrong) and George Mason (yay). Wow, well now im takin George Mason over Florida and LSU over UCLA (I bet Banish $2 that LSU wood win). Then after im takin LSU over George Mason and ending thier Cinderella run in the last game. Well, better luck next year with my brackets, though if my trend follows, I'm gonna suck huge. I've filled out brackets 3 times, and the 1st time I didnt know what I was doing, and I got all Final Four right as well as the champion (UConn). Last year I had two out of the Final Four (Illini and North Carolina) as well as the correct champoinship and champoin. This year I have nothing and I lost for the first time ever to my uncle by a single pick. Well, thats all folks. Better luck next year for the Heels, haha, peace
