Posted by | Jan 8, 2014 | , |

Today some legends will make it to the legendary baseball hall of fame… There are some great players in their 1st year, I am rooting for former Mets catcher Mike Piazza. They will be announced starting at twelve to three. In baseball, Dodgers coach, Don Mattingly was awarded a contract through 2016. The money is unknown. Hopefully, the Dodgers can over come their past seasons with amazingly high expectations. In Basketball, their were some big scorers last night , I watched the Knicks game, and Raymond Felton did good in his return and like always, Melo put on a show. Here are some of the top scorers of the night. 1- Kevin Durant 48 points 2- Damian Lillard 41 points 3- Gordon Hayward 37 points 4 – DeMarcus Cousins 35 points 5- Carmelo Anthony 34 points 5 – C.J Miles 34 points 6- Michael Carter-Williams 33 Points 7- LeBron James 32 points 8 Mike Conley 30...

Famous Jameis Strikes again!

Posted by | Jan 7, 2014 | , |

Jameis Winston capped off his incredible freshman, Heisman Trophy winning, undefeated season with an incredible comeback vs. the magical Auburn Tigers who had some magical finishes that brought them to the final BCS National Championship ever, before the new playoff system next year. Auburn also was trying to extend a 7 game SEC reign on the BCS National Championship. Florida .St is from the ACC. The game started slow and sloppy by both teams with dropped passes and punts. The only high note was Auburn’s pass rush which troubled Winston very much leading to sacks and incomplete passes. Auburn looked great in the 2nd quarter scoring 2 TD’s Melvin Ray on a 50 yard reception TD and a Nick Marshall 4 yard QB run. In the end of the 1st, RB Tre Mason had a rush TD. Florida St. Was down BIG and were in trouble. What do you do when you’re down 21-3? You do a jet sweep fake punt that led to a TD from Devonta Freeman. In the 2nd half it looks more like a National Championship. There was defense in the second half with the only score from the Seminoles on a FG. The score, 21-13. The 4th quarter reminded me of the week 14 Vikings vs. Ravens game in the second half with all those TD’s and ended with a go-ahead TD by the...

Ice Bowl II?

Posted by | Jan 6, 2014 | , , |

We were expecting the ”Ice Bowl II” yesterday in the Packers vs.9’ers game but the temperature was slightly higher. But still it was like a freezer in Lambeau Field. Both teams were ready and the game was close. QB for the Packers Aaron Rodgers struggled including no completions in the 1st quarter!!! QB for the 9’ers, Colin Kaepernick ran all over the Pack and he has had recent success vs. The pack running. He ran for 98 yards in this game. He had success passing too. His favorite receiver in the game was Michael Crabtree with 8 receptions for 125 yards. Aaron Rodgers just could not do enough and he had a career playoff low, 177 yards in the air. The 49ers won off a Phil Dawson field goal 23-20. The Bengals vs. Chargers game was not as exciting as Cincy struggled in the 2nd half scoring 0 points. The Bolts took over and scored 20 points to win 27-10. Next week in the NFL… Indianapolis @ New England, San Diego @ Denver, New Orleans @ Seattle, San Francisco @ Carolina. In the NBA, the Warriors are on a 9 game win streak after beating the Wizards last night. Look out NBA, Curry’s Warriors are on a roll! In College Football, the BCS National Championship is on tonight with a matchup between Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston vs. The...

It was UFC 168 championships last night in ‘Vegas. In the woman’s round, it was undefeated Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate. Rousey won all of her fights in and Armlock move in the 1st round. She’s never experienced a later round until last night. Tate brought he into round 2 after escaping a armlock. But the legend continued when Tate was caught in a nasty armlock. Rousey heard all the boos after her win she did not shake hands with Tate. In the Men’s, Anderson Silva faced Chris Wiedman. The fight ended in a grueling injury when he blocked a kick with his leg and broke it. The after-scene was banned from T.V highlight viewing. Hopefully Silva will return to his greatness someday. It will be an very exciting week 17 in the NFL today, the playoff spots will be determined and we are in for some crazy ness. Some NFL coaching news, ESPN’s Adam Shefter reported “signs are pointing to Jets coach Rex Ryan returning “. The decision is to either give him a extension or he’ll play out his last contract season. The coach less Texans are looking at Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien. The Texans said they will probably reach an agreement by next week. Otherwise, after “Black Monday” when the coaches get fired, they can make another decision. In the Portland Trail Blazers vs....
