It's official, I made the playoffs in my newly found trash talking league. 1 out of 3 leagues isn't bad, but it's not spectacular either. Ironically the league I'm excelling in is the one where players are auctioned off rather than drafted. You get what you pay for in other words. I've come too far to turn back now and the hardware is all I'm concerned about. I will bring home the trophy! Here are some observations from the weekend.
The NFL:
The New York Jets will not win the Super Bowl. They are a playoff team, but not an elite team. The loss of Justin Leonard is bigger than anticipated.
The Patriots and Eagles will play for the Super Bowl. Those 2 teams are on a collision course and barring an injury to Michael Vick or Tom Brady these 2 teams will meet in Dallas February 6th.
College Football:
Miami no longer has the desire to return to dominance. Their inability to hire a top name coach to rebuild the program reflects this.
After watching ESPN's 30 for 30 on the history of the SMU football team the SWC was every bit as competitive as the SEC is today. Money talks.
College Basketball:
College basketball isn't as exciting when you have to get to know the players who will more than likely only stay in school 1 year.
The NBA:
Amare Stoudemire is worth every penny. After going for 30+ in 8 straight games it is clear Amare flourishes in the Mike D'Antoni system. He will be a 1st team all NBA power forward.
After watching Basketball Wives last night (my wife made me) Kenny Anderson is more embarrassing than before. More on him tomorrow.
The UFC: GSP beat the snot piss out of Josh Koshceck which means he will most likely have to face Anderson Silva. His reward for beating the snot piss out of Koshceck is getting the snot piss beaten out of him by Silva. How ironic.
