It's Been Such a Long Time

Just a quick update here my friends. First of all, like I said, I am without internet access at home right now, and actually have full days at work so I am unable to post. Thankfully, I am at a home right now which has internet access, so I can add a few things.

Let me start by thanking Andy and Mark for adding a link to our blog on their blogs, we appreciate it. Also, Mark, my thoughts are with you and praying for Sarah.


- So, let's say the Packers secure one of the top five picks in the draft, what do they do? Do they trade the pick for a player who has already been proven in the league, or draft a playmaker on either offense or defense? It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I've also been hearing John Clayton saying that Mike Sherman will probably be back next year, the team will have a huge makeover, but Sherman will be back. What? I don't understand what Mike Sherman has done which gives him such job security. Can someone please explain this to me?


- The Bucks aren't getting any love in every press before this season began. Now, they beat the 76ers and are 1-0, get your playoff tickets now! Seriously, I don't think they are going to be an elite team, but I really do think they are going to make the playoffs. I know I swore them off during the offseason, but after watching a little bit of the games tonight, they seem like they are going to be a very tough team. They are at the very least a top 10 team in the East, which is better than many publications have them ranked.

Oh and by the way, what's with all of the "controversy" surrounding the new NBA dress code. Get over it fellas, you're making millions of dollars, you can afford nice clothes that make you look respectible.


- The college football season is entering is final full month of regular season games, and some huge matchups remain. This Saturday isn't going to be anything quite like the Saturday of a few weeks ago when the USC/Notre Dame game happened, but it is a big weekend none-the-less.

There are two games which will help decide conference champions, Wisconsin at Penn State on ABC at 2:30 and in the night cap on ESPN, Miami at Virginia Tech at 6:45.

Both will be excellent games. I have been thinking all along that Penn State will kill Wisconsin, but I do not see this being more than a one score game. Unfortunately, Penn State is just better than Wisconsin and will win the game will their offensive ability. Virginia Tech will keep it's national title hopes alive by beating the Hurricanes in Blacksburg. Tech's defense is playing very well and Marcus Vick is playing very confidently right now and has the Rose Bowl as his ultimate goal. A hurricane may have destroyed New Orl... okay, that's bad, how about this one, not even a hurricane is going to stop Vick and the Hokies right now.

That's all for right now, I can't stay here all night. I promise that I will eventually have internet access again and will post regularly. No more 3 week gaps.

-Until next time...
