GROWING PAINS!!!

Fans are tired of hearing the same old saying "He's only a rookie!" It's safe to say that at this point fans expectations are not being met. And that's not to say that they were high, not at all. Fans were most likely expecting an average quarterback with a rating in between 85.0 and 90.0 and about 15 touchdowns, 10 interceptions........
Man, were they in for a surprise, how about 16 interceptions, 10 touchdowns, a quarterback rating of 61.1 (which is only higher to JaMarcus Russel and Derek Anderson)!!!! The unfortunate part, there's six games left. Can Sanchez salvage some respect because the season is completely over at this point. Sanchez's poor performance has cost the Jet's 4 wins. Although it is difficult to solely blame one individual for a team's loss, Sanchez is an exception. Sanchez continually puts the defense in bad situations by turning the ball over. He hurts the offensive play calling because most of the time they are playing from behind and need him to throw the ball (ugghhh)! He hurts the special teams because.............he just hurts them..ok. What more can we expect from Sanchez this season? How will he hurt Jet's fans next?

CHAD BEING CHAD!!!

The most entertaining figure in football!

Beginning of a New Generation!

It's been too long since the NY Jets have been consistently dominant but with this Rex Ryan Era, they look to turn that around!
Never has the Jet's defense look so confident as they have these past two weeks. All the fuss about Rex Ryan's defense and how it will impact the Jets are being displayed on every down. No longer and they playing that boring, conservative (Mangini) defense they are actually going after the QB. The are two defensive players away from being an elite defense with the likes of the Steelers, Giants, and Ravens.* The change is dramatic and will only continue to get better as they will get back Pace in Week 5 and as the season progresses the defense will further adapt and understand their position and strengths. All that was asked for the offense is to establish the run and let Sanchez manage the game which he has done exceptionally well. There is a new attitude in New York and it won't be a surprise if they end up dethroning the Giants as the best defense in New York!

*The NY Jets are in need of an outstanding outside linebacker that can cover and also go after the QB. The question is will Gholston take on that role? They also need an athletic defensive end, like an Osi Umenyiora that can further pressure the QB. You can rest assure that Rex Ryan will look to fill one of those positions this coming off season.

How Long Will Sanchez Last?

How long will it be before Jets fans hate this guy? New York fans are tough and expect a lot from their quarterbacks. Look at all the back stabbing comments that have been made about Pennington, Favre, and even Eli Manning, who actually brought them a championship. If you're drafted that high and get paid as much as Sanchez, then you need to perform - point blank. Sanchez is not being asked to win games with his arm, even though from the make up of this team he maybe asked to lead a 2 minute drill, however he only has to manage the game and not lose it. Fans should not expect a gun slinging Brett Favre or a conservative Chad Pennington, instead a happy medium, that's exactly what he is. We'll just have to wait and see until what week are fans truly disgusted by his performance or for that matter what year......

World Series Prediction?!?!?!

Relax Viking Fans!

What to possibly write about this confused soul? Other than the fact that Brett Favre is clearly an undecisive individual. Once again he strings along the media with the "I'm retiring," bull-ish. Only to once again end that retirement, he almost beat out Junior Seau with the quickest end to a retirement (not really but three weeks is pretty fast). Well, what can Viking fans expect from Favre this season? Clearly they are a playoff team but can Favre take them over that hump? Last year Brett had a hot start but then cooled off drastically. He claims he retired because he could not deal with the strenuous season and also stated, "I didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable." But all of a sudden those thoughts changed, Viking fans better be prepared for what lies ahead. Of course Brett brings with him that gunslinger mentality but that obviously did not help the Jets last year when some people questioned what the hell he was thinking on some throws. Another point to bring up is the fact that he does have a tear on his throwing arm and the Vikings still decided to sign him to a two year deal, does not make sense at all. If Favre and the Vikings fail to go deep in the playoffs then what becomes of Favre next off season, will he continue to debate and fight his inner demons on retiring? With all the drama that surrounds Brett Favre he can make more money if he had a reality TV show.

NY STATE OF MIND!

What is running through the mind of Donnie Walsh and the rest of the higher ups with the Knicks organization come this draft day? Will they make a better selection than last year's pick in Danilo Gallinari (not to say it was bad but can they improve)? There are rumors that the Knicks are looking to move up in the draft to possibly the 5th and even up to the 2nd spot. This is clearly a rebuilding year once again but they still want to be competitive. Can they actually draft someone (in this year's weak draft), that can actually come in and make a difference? Can they have better luck with a Curry this time around? Can an undersized Spanish point guard lead this team? There is no doubt the Knicks have a lot of questions that they need to answer but it is difficult to draft players to fit a certain system. There is always talk (just like the Mets) about breaking up the core, in this case Nate Robinson, David Lee, and Wilson Chandler, who may be the best players on the Knicks now. But does David Lee fit in D'Antoni's system, he had a great year last year but is a liability defensively and over matched by forwards like Garnett and Bosh. He is looking to get their type of money too so do you let him go and look to draft someone like Jordan Hill or pick someone up in free agency? Nate Robinson is a difficult decision as well. There is no doubt that he is a play maker and brings a lot of passion to the team, however, what position is he with the Knicks? He still does not have the decision making abilities of a true point guard, even if he is a scoring point guard. As a shooting guard well you would need to be consistent and last year he went through an awful shooting slump and defensively can he guard other shooting guards from the perimeter? Wilson Chandler is the only player that fits D'Antoni's system perfectly. His game is very similar to Trevor Ariza and look at the performance he had during the playoffs. Wilson Chandler plays great on ball and off the ball defense, he can penetrate and he can knock down the three. Although his shooting needs to improve a little more there is no reason other than some bad decision making to keep him off the floor. The rest of the players on the Knicks are there temporarily, with the exception maybe of Chris Duhon and Danilo Gallinari who may stay but are not true starters in the sense that they can change the game. Chris Duhon provides the Knicks with a solid point guard but last year had a rough second half of the season (could have been from overplaying him) and Danilo Gallinari they are committed to through 2010 but can he play stronger and make himself more of a presence on the court? It all comes back to the system of Mike D'Antoni, who will fit in? You can always say we will draft the "best available player," but if that player does not fit in the system you're left with the current identity the Knicks have now, NONE!

Rivalry??

Could the Yankees vs. Red Sox still be considered a rivalry? The Yankees won the series in 2007 8-7 but the Red Sox won the Championship which is obviously more important. In 2008 the series was tied 9-9 but it was the Red Sox that made it to the ALCS and the Yankees didn't even make the playoffs. And this year well let's just say that the Red Sox have 6 wins and the Yankees 0....

Wouldn't it be ironic if Wang (which had a 34.50 ERA at one point) gets the first win versus the Red Sox.

It falls true to every sport that a rivalry is not present unless both teams are successful!

THE FUTURE OF VICK?

What will the future hold for an once up and coming star and face of a franchise? Michael Vick was fun to watch on the field although his passing game did not develop he was still a playmaker on every down. He led the Falcons to the conference championship in 2005 (with no real receiver other than Crumpler). An option quarterback that actually succeeded in the NFL system. The promising success would've continued if it were not for the stupid decisions. Would any team be willing to take a chance on Vick and hope that he can still play on the NFL level. Could he be a starter or a backup? Can you move him to a different position? Has he really changed? Will he give us an opportunity to win? These are the questions that general managers and coaches need to ask themselves before they make any decision. Where will Vick end up - on a NFL team or staying in the construction business?

Can't Let It Go!!

All the talk surrounding Brett Favre's return with the Minnesota Vikings is confusing. Do the Vikings really believe that he can perform at a high level? The Pros - the Vikings play in a dome which means half of his games will be played indoors (we all seen how he played in the frigid cold come November/December), they have an established running game, he will have the chance to play Green Bay twice. The Cons - HE IS 40 YEARS OLD, for a passing game to be successful you need at least one big time receiver (do you really think Percy Harvin could be that receiver), they play Green Bay twice, he claims to have a bicep injury (a poor excuse for a bad performance down the stretch with the Jets), and again HE IS 40 YEARS OLD!!!!

WHAT IT MEANS TO HISPANICS

ARTICLE FROM THE STAR LEDGER FROM M.A. MEHTA

A few days after the Jets' blockbuster draft-day trade, Gerry Salme hoped a man he had never heard of would help him.

Salme can't recite Mark Sanchez's career statistics or gauge his arm strength. He's not certain whether the Jets fleeced the Cleveland Browns or gave up too much to get the University of Southern California quarterback in last Saturday's NFL draft.

For the director of operations at the FOCUS Hispanic Center for Community Development in Newark, Sanchez's greatest impact will involve forging a connection with the nearly 1.4 million Hispanics in New Jersey.

Sanchez -- a 22-year-old third-generation Mexican-American -- became a fabric of the Latino community in Los Angeles during his college career. He was a role model to countless underprivileged Hispanic children, working with youth centers across the city.

"It would help our children if he could have that direct involvement," Salme said. "It would motivate them, raise their self-esteem and give them hope that they also can become professional athletes if they set their minds to it."

Sanchez's charisma could also fuel the National Football League's efforts to boost its Hispanic fan base, estimated at 25 million people. The league's diversity initiatives to attract Latino followers have included promoting stars like Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez and playing a regular-season game in Mexico City.

Sanchez, who will practice with the Jets for the first time Friday in Florham Park, already has a solid foundation playing for a team that was one of the first in the NFL to broadcast its games in Spanish. His No. 6 jersey is the top seller coming out of the draft and the hottest piece of team merchandise this week, said Matt Higgins, executive vice president of business operations for the Jets.

"The dynamic is already in place for Mark," Higgins said. "It doesn't have to be contrived on our part. He's already got a deep following in the Hispanic community. Now that he's on the national stage in the capital of the world, that's only to grow."

Sanchez's bi-coastal appeal also could turn him into a mega-star if he lives up to the Hollywood hype.

"The guy's got an unbelievable opportunity to do some damage," said Ryan Schinman, president of Platinum Rye Entertainment, a Manhattan advertising consultant. "He's the player on the Jets now. He can be a terrific inspiration for other Hispanics. He knows he can make a difference."

He knows the dangers, too.

OVERNIGHT SENSATION

Kids in Los Angeles were sticking out their bellies and looking to the heavens, mimicking that funky windup.

Nick Sanchez Jr. vividly remembers the summer of 1981 when Fernando Mania swept the city. Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, the pudgy son of a poor Mexican farmer, had become an overnight sensation in Hispanic neighborhoods. Stickball games were sprinkled with children filled with hope.

When Sanchez's kid brother started his first game for USC in 2007, it was Fernando Mania all over again. Fans gravitated to Mark Sanchez, wearing serapes and homemade T-shirts with ¡Viva Sanchez! stretched across their chests. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, USC's home field, became one big Latino festival complete with well-wishers chanting for their newest hero.

"The fans were just wild for him," said Nick Sanchez, a former quarterback at Yale. "The Hispanic community had somebody to root for in a position where they rarely have. He embraced it. He was playing for everybody ... the whole city. It wasn't just one community. But he was really grateful for that and tried to honor them in return."

Sanchez's simple gesture of thanks caused an uproar.

Midway through the 2007 season, the USC dentist gave the quarterback a custom-made mouthpiece emblazoned with the Mexican flag.

Sanchez's four-touchdown performance against Notre Dame in his second career start was quickly overshadowed by the firestorm over the mouthguard. Detractors questioned Sanchez's patriotism, calling his decision to wear the protective gear a sign of radical activism.

Sanchez, stunned at the backlash, received threatening letters.

"In his eyes, it was a fun thing to do," Nick Sanchez said. "He called it a high-five or thanks to them for being so supportive of him. It wasn't some sort of planned political stance. He really didn't know how folks would respond to it. He didn't think it would be negative in any way. So, it surprised him."

Sanchez's popularity within the Latino community continued to soar after he ditched the mouthpiece.

Before long, he found support in the strangest places.

SOURCE OF PRIDE

Fabian Ruiz is ready to root for a man on a team he despises.

The Rutgers tight end won't pull a No. 6 Sanchez jersey over his head anytime soon, but the life-long Miami Dolphins fan wants the rookie quarterback to succeed.

"There definitely is a source of pride," said Ruiz, who left Cuba at age 6 and settled in Miami. "We've come a long way. Especially now when there's a lot of talk of immigration, it's nice to know that a Mexican-American is highly thought of somewhere."

Said Paterson Mayor Jose Torres: "He's clean-cut and very humble. He's going to be an asset on and off the field as a role model for young Latino men to emulate."

Rutgers linebacker Manny Abreu, a Union City native, hopes Sanchez will make a trip there to steer Hispanic kids toward the game. He hopes having a Mexican-American at the most important position in the biggest market can pave the way for limitless opportunities for Latinos in football.

"He can show that baseball is not the only Hispanic sport," Abreu said. "And that football is obviously out there. We just need to push our young kids in that direction."

For long-suffering Jets fans, Sanchez could be the one who finally delivers a Super Bowl.

For Hispanics everywhere, he could be so much more.

NFL DRAFT

The 2009 NFL Draft is finally here giving you a little taste of what is to come for the 2009 season. This is where teams really rebuilt and establish themselves for the future. You can say all you what about free agency but look where it has taken the Redskins. The draft is where you can get the future standouts even in the middle or late rounds. Who will your team decide to draft? Everyone is a critic and you can never satisfy your fans nowadays even if you have the first pick in the draft. Will he be a franchise player or bust!!!!!

It's Amazing!!

PREDICTION - LAKERS VS. CAVS

Not only will this be a great NBA Finals but it will go down as one of the best matchups since Magic vs. Bird. Each player knows how important it is for their team to win a championship. Every minute you are on the floor, every shoot that you take, every basket counts! The higher ups are basically praying for a prestigious matchup, just think of all the promotion and ratings for a meeting of two of the top players in the league today. They both have their work cut out for them but the Cavaliers seem to have an easier road to the Finals. Prediction Kobe wins his fourth championship (finally without Shaq)!

NBA PLAYOFFS ARE FINALLY HERE

East: (1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (8) Detroit Pistons


(2) Boston Celtics vs (7) Chicago Bulls


(3) Orlando Magic vs (6) Philadelphia 76ers


(4) Atlanta Hawks vs (5) Miami Heat


West: (1) Los Angeles Lakers vs (8) Utah Jazz


(2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) New Orleans Hornets


(3) San Antonio Spurs vs (6) Dallas Mavericks


(4) Portland Trail Blazers vs (5) Houston Rockets

Better Deal?

Although Johan Santana seemed to struggle at times he did not look no where near as bad as C.C. Sabathia did on Opening Day. There has been talk that the Yankees passed up on Johan Santana because in the end they really wanted C.C. Sabathia, if there is some truth to this, did the Yankees make the right move? It's hard to tell after only one game but Santana looked more composed, managed the game well, and most of all recorded seven strike outs. Who do you believe will have a better season?

RECESSION? NOT HERE?

Recession Proof Yankees! That is absolutely right, during these economic times only the Yankees can afford to spend and offer players a boat load of "dinero." With the creation of the new stadium the Yankees seem to have moved away from the old baseball tradition of offering middle class families and blue collar workers some entertainment value. The new stadium is completely geared to offer corporations and upper class individuals the life of luxury for merely 3 hours. Even the bleacher seats are now obstructed by the member's only "Mohegan Sun Sports Bar!" Wghile the financial capital of the world continues to struggle during this recession only the Yankees seem to overcome this epidemic. With the MTA and the NYC cabs both raising their fares, you would think that the Yankees would keep prices the same or offer better ticket deals for season ticket holders to help families go to the game, NOPE! Instead the Yankees have shafted hundreds of season ticket holders by either moving them to another location (higher up seats or obstructed views) or hiking up the prices. With all these banks and corporations failing, how exactly are the Yankees getting all of their funding? You cannot expect nothing less because the Yankees are the "Yankees," playing in the greatest city in the world, they are expected to be above the rest. In this case they are clearly above banks, corporations, and probably even the government, damn those RECESSION PROOF YANKEES!

Kobe Lessons - Get Your Game Up!

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

Important Stretch....

The New York Knicks have an important four games coming up. They will be going up against the bottom tier that are battling for the 8th and final spot to the playoffs. For the Knicks it is a tremendous improvement indeed to be in this position considering the past few years of embarrassment and disarray! They will be playing the Charlotte Bobcats tonight, the New Jersey Nets tomorrow, Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. They must beat the Bobcats , Nets, and Bucks. This is by far an important stretch of games that could determine the fate of the rest of the season. Larry Hughes seems to found his shot along with his legs. Wilson Chandler would need to be more consistent from the perimeter. Danilo Gallinari needs to perform like he did the other night to help Nate Robison by providing bench scoring. Let's see how the Knicks play out this stretch of important games. Although it is an improvement from last year, making the playoffs will make it that much sweeter!

An Eastern Rivalry!

Game to watch tonight! Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics. This game will have a playoff attitude and the players know how important a win would be since they could potentially see each other in the Conference Finals!

Say It Ain't So!!

Back in January, I stated in a blog that the Cowboys would be nuts to let go of a player with his caliber. Well, I guess the Cowboys are really cleaning house! But remember one man's trash is another man's treasure! Let's see how many offers T.O. gets? Which team is willing to sacrifice their locker room (and QB) for a chance for a championship?

"KRYPTO-NATE"

New York Knicks' most exciting player!!

Motown Blues

 

With the Detroit Pistons slipping out of playoff contention can the city of Detroit afford to have them rebuilding? Detroit is one of the most affected cities by the current recession and all that helps sometimes is sports. However, when you live in Detroit even being a fan brings you misery! The Detroit Lions were the first team in NFL history to go 0-16. The Tigers are coming off a disappointing season in which they were last in the Central Division. The Pistons are currently in 6th in the playoff standings but are only .500 and have lost 6 in a row. Detroit has not lost 32 games since 2002-2003 season and are having one of their most disappointing years considering the East in not strong in the middle of the pack. The only life support for the dying city is the Red Wings but it's hockey, it's like having your life in the hands of amateurs, hockey is not consistent and does not have enough fans nationwide. Sports and Entertainment are usually what help families through an economic depression but I think it's safe to say that Detroit is an exception!

EYE ON THE PRIZE!!!

If this isn't one of the weirdest injuries that can possible sideline you for the rest of the season and cost your team the chance in making the playoffs, then I don't know what is! Amare should have stopped complaining about his situation in Phoenix and instead should have continued wearing his protective glasses. I guess the Phoenix Sun's have completely lost "sight" of a championship run!

Forgiving A-Rod?

After years of deniel, A-Rod finally confesses to using performance enhancing drugs, but the debate will continue forever. Can an athlete make the Hall of Fame even after admitting to using performance enhancing drugs? Even if he tests negative for the rest of his career should his stats be voided during the period he was on PEDs. What do you think?

College Basketball Bracketology

During this college basketball season the top teams have truly been inconsistent. There was a period when a team cannot stay ranked number one for more than a week. There was four different number ones in four different weeks. The only consistent team seems to be UConn right now (how long though with the lose of their second leading scorer, Jerome Dyson). Oklahoma and North Carolina both look strong and one of them may end up at ranked number one and the top seed at the end of the season. Then there is the second class of teams (Duke, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Wake Forest) that should be winning more consistently but have not found an identity. The tournament selection committee is going to have their hands this season. The Big East is by far the toughest conference in the nation and the top teams have affected each others national ranking. Pittsburgh's only two loses have come to Big East teams and are still ranked fourth in the nation. Five out of Syracuses' loses have come to Big East teams, they would easily be ranked higher than lets say Memphis (8 AP), who they actually beat. The ACC has five teams in the top 25 but the only real threat is North Carolina. Duke lives and dies by the three and are not physical enough to hang in there with some teams. Wake Forest well after being number one have lost four out of their last six. College basketball is truly about runs and hot streaks. This year's March Madness is truly going to be an exciting one to watch.

Final Four Prediction (UConn, North Carolina, Louisville, Pittsburgh)

Touchdown???

I will let you be the judge, remember these are still photos and at some point he may have come down on the ground. By looking at the video even at different angles and in slow motion it still would not show a clearer shot. Just a controversial touchdown that may have changed the whole outcome!

Kobe Bryant's MSG Performance

Last night Kobe Bryant took his comparison to Michael Jordan a step further by torching the Knicks, like Jordan use to at "The Garden," with 61 points. With the injury to Andrew Bynum, Kobe figured he needed to take more shoots and create more offense for the team. He was making shoots from everywhere (mostly the free throw line), if he wanted to he could have easily taken more shoots and probably would've dropped 70-80 points on the Knicks. Jackson said, "Nights that Kobe's on fire, he burns hot." Just like the bright lights of New York City that tend to bring the best out of most opponents. MSG has always been a stomping ground for the greatest basketball player of all time, Jordan which seemed to elevate his game every time he showed up to "The Garden." Kobe is loved and hated by fans and teams like Michael Jordan was. The chants of "MVP" could be heard through out the arena, the excitement and cheers that filled the arena were somewhat reminiscent of Jordan. He brings crowds to their feet in every arena. This season only one player has excited the crowd even more and that is LeBron James. Just when LeBron seems to be surpassing Kobe as the best player in the game today, Kobe steals the headlines and reinforces thoughts of his dominance in the game today.

-LeBron James will be playing in the garden tomorrow, February 4th, 2009. Can we expect a better performance?

New York on the verge............

New York City has some of the most avid fans in the nation yet they have not tasted a string of championships these recent years other than the Giants winning in Super Bowl XLII. However, the way things are shaping up in the four major sports, New York City can be the mecca for sports championships. First in baseball they have the NY Yankees and Mets, which are a clear favorite to win their perspective divisions and even their leagues. The Yankees are the Yankees and they will do anything and everything to win a championship and that attitude seems to have carried over to the Mets these past few years. The Mets are tired of being in the Yankees shadow and want to taste some of the success that the Yankees have had. The competition to take fans and media has seem to be a good rivalry since they are making each other better in the end. Both teams are not even on the verge to win a championship they are clear cut favorites.
In football the same could be said about the NY Giants and Jets. The Giants have come off one of the most memorable championships and brought a little life into the city. The Jets quickly made moves to contend in the league right after the Giants' Super Bowl victory. They too want to attract fans and media and with the signing of Brett Favre they got both! The Giants will continue to be contenders in the NFC East and the Jets seem to be moving in the right direction with the siging of their new head coach. Both teams are on the verge of wining championships!
The NY Rangers have the city on lock because the Islanders sure don't. The only competition they Rangers are facing is from their cross state rival the NJ Devils. The NY Rangers continue to make the playoffs year after year. They are one or two players away from becoming dominant every year. They have a great goaltender to build around.
Now come the NY Knicks! They are the least favorites and are by far the furthest away from winning a championship. However they are taking the right steps to becoming a powerhouse in the East once again. With the acquisition of D'Antoni and Walsh they have dramatically improve this season despite all the adversity. They have positioned the team to clearly make a move for two superstar players in the 2010 free agency. The Knicks are definitely on the verge to make the playoffs nothing about a championship yet.
The success of each of New York's sports franchises depends on each other. Players in the free agency market as well as drafted players can all look forward to playing in NYC. The best hitter available in Teixeira wanted to come to the Yankees, the best closer wanted to come to the Mets, a top tier coach wanted to come to the Jets, and a great general manager and coach wanted to come to the Knicks. All we can do now is wait to become the Mecca for Sports!

Steve Nash - Tell Me How My Balls Taste!

I don't understand why Josh Smith is not in the slam dunk contest, this guy can really get up there with the best of them!

T.O. - You're in Time Out!!

Are the Cowboys seriously thinking about releasing one of the top wide receivers in the league? T.O. has had over 1,000 yards receiving for the past three years with a combined 28 touchdowns while at Dallas and they are contemplating a release to improve team chemistry? As much as T.O. is a problem on or off the field there is no denying the man's abilities and there is no doubt that he comes to play every game. It is unfortunate that a player with so much talent also has as much ego. It would be nice if T.O. had a Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt type of personality but he doesn't. If T.O. is on your team he comes with baggage to say the least. In this instance the positives out-weight the negatives depending on the team that he is on. Look at Randy Moss for instance, who was know for his antics and problems within the team, however with the right coach to discipline him, we have not heard a peep from him these past two seasons. (Don't you think old Randy would've have been disgruntled with Matt Cassel as his QB on any other team with a different coach.....). T.O. would be a different receiver if Belicheat were coaching him with out a doubt. That is all we need is for him to be released and end up in New England (can you imagine Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens...wow let me wake up from that horrible nightmare). If the Cowboys dare to release T.O. and all these fans that claim they would never take him better think twice about what they are saying. T.O. can easily improve a team and always comes to play!!

MVP?

Who is looking like the MVP this basketball season?
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Dwight Howard
Chris Paul
Dwyane Wade

In Memory of Penny! 1/2 Cent - Penny

Makes me think about the potential that Penny Hardaway had if it weren't for those damn injuries! Blue Chips BABY!
