Just remembered our account info for the site. Unfortunately, I have a full slate this evening. Look for my thoughts on the PSU scandal tomorrow. I really would like to hear some comments on this as I'm sure many of you have strong feelings like myself. Jimmy and myself will be posting on a variety of topics in the coming week. Dont forget to wish my friend and fellow blogger a good rest of his Senior season of football at the University of Penn as they are still in the hunt for a 4th? stright Ivy League Title. (Correct me if im wrong Buzzy)

Once Again, College Football's Season Ends With a Thud
Bob Stoops enjoys a nice Gatorade shower after the Sooners dumped an overmatched Connecticut team like everyone including my 12 year old brother thought they would. Texas Christian plays a great game that means nothing and beats a really tough Wisconsin team. How amazing would those two games be if: A) Connecticut was replaced by Oregon/Auburn and B) each of these games was a national quarterfinal? I watched both of these games. After each game the players are interviewed. Quarterback Landry Jones couldn’t look more anxious to get out of the stadium. It’s not fair to the player, the coaches, and the fans. The BCS screws us out of potentially the most exciting tournament in sports if it were to take place. Again, I watched an amazing college football season, exciting games week in and week out, and it’s just over. Each bowl game gets me sicker and sicker of the system, and as I prepare to watch the GoDaddy.Com bowl tomorrow (with the enthralling matchup of Middle Tennessee against the University of Miami (Ohio)) I could not be more disgusted with the situation college football is in. Please Mark Cuban, we're desperate.

New Uniforms
I recently came across a link online that was from Nike. It stated that the NFL jersey design and rights will be taken over by Nike for the 2012 season. The new jersey ideas they had are unbeleiveable if you ask me. Check them out for yourself and let us know what you think!

Response to Tucker Carlson
I recently stumbled upon this article, posted on ESPN.com. The man being interviewed, Tucker Carlson, had some interesting comments regarding Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, whose dogfighting has been well documented. Here is the Article with a link.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5967015
Fox analyst Tucker Carlson says Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick "should have been executed" for his role in a dogfighting ring.
Carlson was guest hosting for Sean Hannity's show Tuesday night on Fox News Channel when he made the remarks. He led a panel discussion about President Barack Obama commending the owner of the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance after his release from prison.
Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring.
Carlson says, "Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way."
Carlson added, "I think personally he should have been executed for that."
Carlson, a conservative commentator, is angry that Obama told Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie he believes people who have paid for their crimes should have the opportunity to contribute to society again.
WOW, this dude really doesn't have a grip on reality. Yeah, people like OJ can murder someone and get away with it and live a completely normal life, but Vick should be executed for dogfighting. This man really must not have thought before saying this. Your right, Carlson, every person whose made a mistake and been to jail deserves to just rot away working a minimum wage job for the rest of thier life. What is Vick suppose to do? Waste his pro-bowl starting and potential MVP talent and go find work in Newport Virginia because of his mistakes? No, he should be sentenced to death, right Carlson. This guy is a joke. I think all the Vick haters are complete jokes also. This stuff goes on all the time and people are thrown in jail for similiar crimes as Vick. These people receive little or no attention in the media, serve thier time, and then are free to go try and make something of themselves. Also I think its important to look at fellow NFL player Donte Stallworth. Stallworth was drunk and smoking marijuana while driving a car, and killed a man. A human being that is, not a dog. He revieved a mere 1 month sentnece in which he only served about 20 days. Hmm... who is the real criminal here, Someone who buys a nice property for his close inner circle and those who live there do bad things (Even though Vick more than likely knew about the dogfighting and probably did partake in it at times) or somone who gets drunk and high and gets behind the wheel and kills another civilian. Vick did 23 months in a federal prison, so in my eyes he paid his debts to all these animal rights clowns who try and make an uproar about things such as Obama flicking a bug off his sleeve during a state of the union address. These people really need to get a life and stop being jealous of the success Vick is having, and they should embrace Vick's story of redemption.

Lakers
Someone told me I was crazy for worrying about the Lakers in their slump a few weeks ago. Well, to be honest, I am still worried. Kobe and the boys can't come out and show the Heat who's boss in the biggest game on Christmas day? This is the same team that stole all of the attention from them this offseason after they won the championship. The same team the oddsmakers completely disrespected the Lakers by picking them as favorites to win it this year. I just cannot believe that they lose to the Bulls, lose to the Heat. I can see them slumping and losing a couple meaningless games during the regular season but national television games like this are basically like playoff games. I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. However, if you have any pride and I know Kobe does, you have to go out and win that game on Christmas. There was too much talk, Phil and Kobe both having one on one interviews on ESPN the week leading up and causing a hoopla about the game. I'd love to see Kobe win it again and make a case to go down in history either equal or on top of Jordan, but he'd better start picking it up as well as the guys around him. -Buzzy
Eagles Vs. Vikings
First of all, we had a little layoff and were not able to post on one of the greatest moments in Philadelphia sports history. The new "Meadowlands Miracle" was the greatest thing I have seen in my lifetime in terms of sporting events and I have a feeling it can stand up to past special moments as well. That game solidified Jackson and Vick's place in the future of the Eagles organization. They absolutely need to be resigned and aside from some terrible off the field situation, I don't see any roadblocks to them being here for the duration of their careers. I know Vick is interested in staying and I'm not positive about Jackson but as long as we have Vick, I don't see why he wouldn't want to. I will not lie, I completely lost faith when they were down by three touchdowns, even momentarily turning off the game (never have done this before). If there were Birds fans out there who had faith, I commend your optimism and foresight. I guess it is never really early with the firepower we have on offense this year. Vick was spectacular and made a great case for MVP this year, although Brady makes an equally appealing case, in my opinion it is really a toss up between the two. Jackson's play was simply electric and had every room of Eagles fans I have heard of up, screaming and hugging.
However, the player we cannot forget about is Maclin. Jackson continues to get the press but at times I think the Celek and Maclin are just as, if not more important than the little guy. Maclin is a touchdown machine, steadily scoring points throughout the year. He has continued to improve with his time with the Eagles and has become a favorite target for Vick. He doesn't get the press the Jackson does but deserves just as much credit. Celek as well, just coming up huge in the Chicago and New York games. I think Kolb looked for the tight end more for some reason just naturally in his progression but Vick has the confidence to put it on him in pressure situations. It is nice to see that Vick has confidence in not only his running ability but also three different receivers even if its the last play of the game. If I'm on defense against the Eagles in the redzone I don't know whether to play QB run, tight end in the middle or Maclin or Jackson on the outside. McCoy of course is also dangerous, another weapon on the list. It scares me that we played so poorly early in that New York game, but the ending forced me to believe that this team has something special. If nothing else, they have the confidence to keep their cool down three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. They also will not accept losing, I loved the onside kick call in the fourth, Reid has improved his coaching this year by adopting his team's attitude of aggressiveness and spontaneity.
This game vs. the Vikings is huge. We need to show consistency. I would love to see them come out and play a complete game without needing a miracle to get the W. If Favre plays, he still scares me and I believe he can win at any time. The next in line, Joe Webb, seems like an athlete. If we give that young guy a chance to hang around and make some plays, he could make something happen at the end of the game. We need our defensive backs to take advantage of the young guy if Favre's out. I would like to see them have some momentum and confidence heading into the playoffs. I did not pay particular attention to how Bradley's backup played against New York, any thoughts? When is he returning??
