Delay

So, I realize that it has been a couple of days since I have posted anything, but tomorrow, as the second round of the playoffs will come to a close, I will post my second edition of wrapup, and expect an interesting story sometime in the coming week.

Wild Card Roundup

Needless to say, this weekend brought the first round of the NFL playoffs, and as with many other years, the first four games had their exciting outcomes, and their boring blowouts (or in this case were closer than they looked). Though many may say that there were three exciting games (Colts-Jets, Seahawks-Saints, and Eagles-Packers), and one blowout (Chiefs-Ravens), I believe that the Eagles-Packers game was just about as upsetting and overhyped as any in recent history. Vick (left), and Jackson Therefore, I'd like to begin with that game and the other blowout, and end with the two exciting 'upsets' (I say 'upsets' because of the ridiculous seeding that occurred this year). Though the Eagles were considered by most to be a large Super Bowl contender this year, due to the shockingly impressive play of former convict Michael Vick , and his showboating accomplice DeSean Jackson , who has blessed the league this year, despite anyone who thinks its unnecessary, wit...

Brett Favre's Illustrious Career and 'The Viking Situation'

Seeing as this is my first post, I would like to ask for a pass in advance for any typos, or errors in my facts in any of my posts. As his career comes to an end, (hopefully) I would like to take this time to examine Brett Favre 's career and my self-entitled 'Viking Situation' , and relate it to Any Given Sunday , which seemingly hasn't been done (other than this and this , both of which fail to fully relate 'The Viking Situation'), which I believe is odd. As well, as a disclaimer, I realize that the movie does not model the current situation, given the time difference, and merely wish to offer an odd amount of similarities. Brett Favre Dennis Quaid First, and most prevalently, credit must be given where credit is due. Brett Favre is arguably one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and seemingly the toughest.

NBA All-Star game and Trade Deadline

The latter half of February is always an important portion of the NBA season, usually because of the trade deadline. Yes, the All-Star game tends to occur around this time as well, but as I have mentioned before , no one really likes All-Star games, in any sport. The NBA, however, has the unique ability to break this trend, due to its array of other competitions. In the All-Star game itself, either the East or West won, with an overall score of about 300, I think (as you can see, who cares). But the real excitement occurred earlier in the weekend, with the likes of the dunk contest and the three-point challenge. There are other competitions, such as the shooting challenge, but there's a WNBA player involved in that segment, so................ once again, who cares. The Slam Dunk competition, however, did impress, although the outcome was certainly expected. "Rookie" standout Blake Griffin (I say "rookie" because he was drafted a year earlier) wowed the crowd...
