Super Bowl Prediction

Ok I know that I have rotten predictions. I am usually about 50% on my picks. But, my pick for the Super Bowl is the Pittsburgh Steelers 30 @ the Arizona Cardinals 27. I look for it to be a close game. I know a lot of people are rooting for Kurt Warner, but I am rooting for the Steelers. Even though my beloved Dallas Cowboys have 5 Super Bowl Championships as do the Steelers & with a win the Steelers will go to a record 6th Championship.

Doesn't matter to me. I am still rooting for the Steelers. If the Cardinals do wind up winning the game you won't see me crying. It would be a great story if they do win. Who would have ever thought this team would be in the Super Bowl? Not many that is for sure.

My 3 boys & I luckily own Pittsburgh Steeler jersey's and we will be wearing them tomorrow for our Super Bowl "party". Last year was a good game, but it had two teams I despise. This year it isn't a "good versus evil" game like there has been in years past.

Let's just hope for a very entertaining game!

More Football

It has now been just over a week & I can now at least write about my HUGE disappointment in the National Championship game between Oklahoma & Florida. I can admit that OU lost fair & square. I still believe that OU had a really good chance to win & if they just score two offensive touchdowns right before halftime the game would have been a lot different. The problem is that Florida didn't allow that to happen.

I don't understand how the Oklahoma coaching staff can take the ball out of the heisman trophey winners hands & expect them to win the game with Chris Brown running. Don't get me wrong, Chris had a really good game & made some tough yards, but Sam Bradford got this team to the National Championship game & I think they should have let him try to win the game. Oh well, Sam is coming back next year so let's hop they can win the it all then.

Again I am not doing to well on predictions for the NFL playoffs. I think the Philadelphia Eagles will beat the Arizona Cardinals & I also believe the Pittsburgh Steelers will squeek one out against the Baltimore Ravens. I bet the NFL is hoping the Steelers go because if they don't I doubt this will be a much watch Super Bowl. All Pennsylvania bowl? We shall see. I cannot stand the Eagles, but we will see. One reason I want the Eagles to make it & lose is because not much good has come to the Super Bowl runner ups for the next season.

Oh well, I haven't got much to talk about other than the Economy needs to get a big "BOOST" so my sales can get back on the positive side @ work again. It has been very tough. As we get ready for a change in the leadership of our country, I hope that everyone realizes that God has always & WILL ALWAYS be in control of the world.

More to come when I feel like typing more. I just wonder what all some of you think I should write about. Any suggestions?

NFL Playoffs

Can the NFL Playoffs be anymore annoying? 4 wild card games this weekend & not ONE of the teams I was rooting for won.

Baltimore Ravens over the Miami Dolphins
Arizona Cardinals over the Atlanta Falcons
San Diego Chargers over the Indianapolis Colts
Philadelphia Eagles over the Minnesota Vikings

Ok other the Cardinal vs Falcons didn't bother me too much, but the Colts & Vikings losing really upsets me. How in the world the Minnesota Vikings think they have a shot with Tavaris Jackson at Quarterback is beyond me. I sit in my chair at home & even I can tell you that this guy is not an NFL Quarterback. He is better than me, but hey I don't play.

Not having the Vikings or the Colts in the playoffs really makes it more B-O-R-I-N-G!! Who is there to root for now? My beloved Dallas Cowboys didn't even make the playoffs & now my 2nd favorite team the Adrian Peterson Vikings are out. I will be rooting all the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers to capture Super Bowl Title #6 all the way.

This next weekend games shape up like this:

Baltimore Ravens @ Tennesee Titans - BORING - Honestly I don't care - I think the Ravens take this game. Defense wins Championships. Kerry Collins "dream" comes to a close.

Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers - The winner of this game is who I will be rooting for in the NFC. Carolina is just too tough for the Cardinals in this one.

Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants - This game makes me want to puke. The Eagles are one of the two teams I root against EVERYTIME they play. ( Patriots are the other ). The Giants are in the same division as the Cowboys so it is hard for me to root for them to win. Although last year I rooted for them to beat the Patriots & they did. I will take the Giants with the Home Field advantage in this one.

San Diego Chargers @ Pittsburgh Steelers - Honestly how does an 8-8 team make the playoffs? I don't care if they just beat my boy Peyton Manning, I still say they shouldn't be there. I am for the Steelers so much that I will be bleeding black & gold this weekend! I seriously think the Steelers will win.

If the Steelers somehow do lose....I don't know who I will be rooting for. This is the first time in a LONG time that there is really no clear cut favorite for the Super Bowl. I think anyone of these teams could beat the other at this point.

Time for the NFL to adopt a new overtime system. Needs to be more like college where each team lines up @ the 25. Except in the NFL I would make it the 40 yard line.

Let's hope this next weekends round of games works out better than last weeks.
