Chargers V.S Steelers

The Chargers and Steelers game is going to be a game of turnovers. Look to see that BIG BEN will throw a couple of interceptions, which will result in some points for the Chargers. But you have to look out for Pittsburgh's running game , when having a healthy Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore, you have a very affective running game , you have Parker for speed, and Moore for power. With Parker plagued by injury he did not have a season with over 1000 yards as he has had in the last couple of seasons, but look for him this game to be the difference maker. I don't exactly know if i can trust Darren Sproles as my starting running back, yes considering him coming off a good week I just don't know if he can penetrate the Steelers Defense as he did to Indy. With the questionable LaDainian Tomlinson, the leader of that team can the Chargers defeat the Steelers? No I don't think they will defeat the Steelers, I'm saying Steelers win. As i said earlier its going to be a game of turnovers, watch the Steelers secondary having a busy game.

Ravens vs Titans

This week features two AFC teams squaring off in Tennessee for the right to get into the AFC championship. Who would of ever thought after the year Baltimore had in 2007 they would be a contender for the AFC championship. In 2007, the Ravens record was 5-11 and had to fight through rough times with injuries etc. Now in 2008 season the Ravens ended up turning around their season and had a record of 11-5. The key factor to them turning their season around was because of their defense and their new Quarterback Joe Flacco. Flacco is a Quarterback out of Delaware which is a division 1-AA school. Flacco was drafted 1st round pick 18. He's a 6'7 Quarterback that is mobile and can throw the ball with accuracy and precession. He creates a problem with any defense he's faced up against. The Ravens secondary will put up another big fight just like they did when they faced the Titans earlier in the season. When they first met the outcome of the came was a 13-10 win by the Titans. The Ravens defense proved that the Titans offense could be somewhat stopped. Unlike the game earlier in the year, I believe the Ravens offense will step up their game and Flacco will be able to throw some touchdowns and less interceptions. The Titans last game that they played ended up being a total nightmare for the Titans. Although they didn't really play their starters for a majority of the game it's still embarassing to get shut out in your last game of the season. Even though the Titans have the best record in the NFL I still believe that Flacco and the Ravens defense will put up a big fight and emerge the victor.

Giambi to A's again ?

There is a very good possibility that Jason Giambi will likely return to Oakland athletics. There was talk that Giambi might head to the Rays, but today with the signing of Pat Burrell it seems very unlikely that he will go to Tampa, because Burrell will most likely be the DH, and having Pena at first , which would leave Giambi with no spot on the team. That makes the A's the favorite to land the 37 year old lefty likely to go back home and play for the A's. There has been no money disscussion yet but it seems he will get somewhere between 10 milllion dollars and lower for a 1 year deal and possible 2 year option.

Fiesta Bowl 2009

This years Fiesta Bowl features two really good competitors. Big 12's Texas and Big Ten's Ohio State. Both teams have key players! Texas has Quarterback Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy this year was a top Heisman candidate. He received a total of 1,604 points in the Heisman race. His point total came in second compared to Sam Bradford's 1,726 points. McCoy has a 77.6 competition record in the 2008 season. McCoy broke the record previously set by Daunte Culpepper. With his spectacular numbers in this years season, it brings a big threat to the incredible Ohio State Defense. Ohio State is lead by freshman Quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Pryor has great speed and can dodge tacklers coming at him. The main threat with Ohio State is their running back Chris Wells. Despite an injury he had earlier in the season, he is still a major threat to any team. This will lead to a very good game in my opinion, and will show which stars on their respected teams are superior.

Give us your opinion on who you think will win the 2009 Fiesta Bowl Game!

Bradley to cubs

Milton Bradley just singed a 3 year 30 million dollar deal with the Chicago Cubs.which fills in a hole in that line up, which he can protect Aramis Ramirez and give some support for Kosuke Fukudome.

Free Agent Frenzy

With the new year ringing in many gifts and players going to many teams, they're are among a few Sluggers that haven't been singed. Among those free agents are the highly anticipated Manny Ramirez, Adam Dunn, and Bobby Abreu. Among the talk of some of these players going to certain teams, the Dodgers seem to be a favorite in landing Abreu or Dunn, Manny a favorite to go to the Giants. Their hasn't been talk about Bradley going to any certain team yet but a possibility that he can go to Cubs as Mlb.com Reports. But as a Yankee fan i did not like Abreu's Defense at all, does his ineffectiveness to play the wall in left conflict with teams singing him?Abreu is a consistent bat, with an average of .300 in 13 seasons with 1084 RBIs and 241 home runs he is rumored to be on the move to the dodgers. For Adam Dunn he has been an overall great player he has averaged a .200 + more average each year since 2001, Dunn has 278 homers in 8 seasons with 672 RBIs. He is also a Favored free agent to go to the dodgers. And for Manny he is most likley right now to be going to the Giants, looking at around a 3 year deal for about 20 million per year and is hoping for a 4Th year option.

Pat Burrell Signs with Rays!

Pat Burrell has just agreed to a deal with the Rays. The deal consisted of a two-year contract for $16 million dollars. The 32-year old outfielder has played throughout his career on the Phillie's. Burrell has hit 30+ home runs three times in the past four years. Also, in the past four years he hit 85+ RBIs. Although he has these good numbers, he has also failed in the past three years to have a batting average better than .260. Despite his average he is an all around good player. He fits good in the Rays outfield. This is true because the Rays have recently had injury problems with a few of their outfielders. Burrell will bring a threat to the AL East division with his offense and defense. Burrell makes the Rays lineup consist of power and contact. This addition brings balance to the lineup. The Rays have been looking for a power hitter on the right side for sometime since Jose Canseco.

Franchise him or Free agent him?

Will the Patriots keep Matt Cassel ? Yes i believe they might try ? Will he accept . The set back of Tom Brady has the Patriots Front Office Scratching their heads , about resigning the savour of their season , or to let him walk?Chances are they will offer him a contract but will he accept? I don't know if he will accept, after coming off a great year with 3693 passing yards, 21 TD's, and a QB rating of 89.4%, you can see him possibly walk to be a starting QB because he certainly has the talent and determintation it takes. Some possible teams the Jets, and lions. both so far without a starting QB with Brett Farve in question of his return or retirement and the lions Daunte Culpepper most likely not going to return, Cassel will either stay with the Pats or go to those possible teams.

2 Peat ?

Will the New york Giants visit Tampa in February ?. I believe the Giants will need to really preform and show the NFL why they were among the top contending team. By defeating the Minnesota Vikings the Philadelphia Eagles will be at the Meadowlands to play the top seat in the NFC , I'm saying that it will be a great game the running game will be very similar like it was in the 2 previous games played during the regular season. The question is will McNabb being consistent or have a game where he will throw 2 pics and not get it done by throwing deep. Will Jacobs knee be a factor? I don't think it will be a factor i think he do well, by having at least 90 yards and a TD or more.

Come back team of the year Giants ???

I believe that San Fransisco will have a turn around year because With the addition of the Randy Johnson who brings leader ship and experience to the table, He can coach the up and coming star in Tim lincecum , Matt Cain, and give Barry Zito a couple of tips. Then recent speculation says that Manny will land in San Francisco, if the Giants get Manny he will do wonders to that lineup, Manny might not be the best guy in the clubhouse but he brings excitement poise and performance , I am picking the Giants to be a contender not a first place team, but to be a team like the Miami Dolphins to have a bad year then turn it around.

Will C.C be a bust or a success

Will the $ 161 million dollar offseason aqusion be a bust or a success. I think that C.C Sabathia will be a 15 game winner and up. People might disagree but here is why, When C.C Sabathia was on the Indians he was a no doubt a good pitcher but had trouble especially in the A.L East, with the Yankees and Red Sox teeing off on the hefty lefty and the Blue Jays Rays and Orioles either average or below average against him. I am going to predict that he will be 17-9 in the 2009 season with over 200 strike outs and an ERA of 3.35. That is a great record but New York fans are expecting Sabathia to be the hero and pitch every game like he did on the Brewers, You will never see another season from Sabathia like this again, Considering that the NL is weaker than the AL.

Manny , Manny who ?

At the beginning of the winter meetings in December, Scott Boras had his hands full. With the Yankees and Mets making many key offseason acquisition, Manny was not one of them. The Dodgers, Yankees, Giants, Nationals, Angels, And even the Mets where in the running for Manny for a while. When it came time to talk to Boras or Manny and discuss money the teams Interest drastically decreased. The dodgers seemed to be the clear favorite in the beginning of the winter meetings when offered the 36 year old left fielder $ 45 million dollar contract for 3 years, Manny and Boras where not satisfied with that offer so they declined it in hope for a better offer to come from the Yankees or Angles. When it seemed that the Angles where not gonna get The price trophy of the free agent market Mark Teixeira they were seen talking to Boras and discussing a multiyear deal for Manny days later the Angels dropped out for Manny and all eyes were on the Yankees. Si.com reported that the Yankees where discussing a contract with Boras, But for who? Most people said Manny and not Teixeira. But the people where wrong the Yankees just landed what to some teams as the Angles and Red sox as their primary offseason signing. Now where dose that leave Manny, well with the favored Dodgers being denied from Manny ,leaving him going back to L.A unlikely, the once favored Angles dropping out and focusing more on their bullpen, The Yankees dropping out with the spending in the offseason almost a half a billion dollars leaving them with no room in the outfield for Manny nor salary cap, The Nationals can be a possibly but not really , Manny wants to go to a team where he will win and be happy and i don't exactly know if Washington is the place taking into consideration that they are in a rebuilding stage, and last The Giants leaving them now as the clear favorite to land Manny. These next couple of weeks will really determine if Manny will return to the west coast with the Dodgers or Giants, or Coming back to the east coast only in The NL. East with the Nationals. If Manny really cares and loves playing Baseball, will money be a factor, or at this point will he take what he can get no matter what team.
