Happy Saturday Y'All!!! College football is in full swing this weekend with some powerful match ups - (2) Auburn vs. (3) Mississippi State, (9) TCU vs. (5) Baylor, (12) Oregon vs. (18) UCLA and a Notre Dame game that is about as close as it gets with UNC as this is being written. (look for updates later in the weekend)
The NFL is looking to continue it's week six with 13 games tomorrow featuring Peyton Manning's Broncos coming to town (NY Jets fan) looking to tie/break Brett Favre's career TD mark. Peyton needs 5 TDs to tie and 6 to break and honestly with the Jets playing the way they are...this is insanely possible and really I secretly want them to get rolled on. With Geno Smith going to the movies instead of team meetings, Michael Vick half-assing it in practice as the primary backup with a $4 million dollar salary and above all else, the coaching staff actually siding with them and concocting ridiculous excuses for previous snafus. I am tired, simply tired of them. I told a co-worker this week that I was done with them and will instead focus on my fantasy football team and maybe give hockey a shot this year...the New York Rangers looked pretty good the other night in St. Louis, just saying. My prediction is DEN 42 - NYJ - 6, no record for Peyton this week.
The other major dialogue in the NFL this week seems to be the game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. There has been pregame smack talking from both sides, each team has a winning record and more importantly their match ups usually turn out to be close, hard fought games. Both fans bases are pretty into their teams, the Philly fans are pretty miserable to be around in general and this only makes matters worse. The game kicks off at 8:30PM Sunday night which means the entire east coast will be watching...the first half at least and then probably flip over to something else or go to bed, thanks for that NFL. My prediction is NYG 31 - PHI 27 (tiny Eli taunt video can be found on ESPN or just Google it)
The Kansas City Royals have been on fire, but not in the blow out sense. They haven't been crushing their opponents bones into dust, no they have not! But man have they been incredibly exciting to watch. Jumping out to leads, giving them up, getting back in the game and then winning it in extra innings. This has happened 4 times so far this postseason. The Powders are 5-0 heading into tonight's game which for a team that hasn't made the playoffs since Ronnie Reagan started his second term as POTUS and that is darned impressive. They have a nice core of young players who don't have out of this world stats...no 45 homer hitters, no 20 game winners but through timely hitting and smart coaching they are just making it work...so far. Only time will tell if they can move on to the World Series, it's only one game so far, but those road wins are golden!!
HAPPY WATCHING!!!
