Is it just me oir this year in the NHL is it all about offense i mean really are there only rookie goalies or maybe defense isn't as big as it used to be, i know it seems smaller and faster more offense based this year (to me anyways im not hockey expert but im just saying) i mean seriously i remember when 5 goals was unheard of, and now its like every game i watch or see the score of its at least 5 to 3 or something. I'm sure it is good for ratings and stuff like that but i would think defensive minded big bang em around teams would also be good for ratings cause everyone loves seeing big hits and such, i dont know thats just my thoughts.
I dont think that anyone will be surprise if Pat Riley takes over the Heat coaching job i mean everyone has been hinting towards that outcome since even before the big 3 inked there contract i mean seriously, BUT i dont think it would be a bad move i think itd be the perfect move. That way he can get them all calmed down and all focused on how best to compliment eachother on the court instead of D Wade worrying about taking 2 shots in a row cause LBJ is on the floor with him. I mean really though Wade is right him and LBJ are the kinda player that just feels it they dont sit there and think of what they're gunna do or how many times in a row they have taken a shot or what not before they didnt need to think about having othere optition on the floor that are just as good of a call as himself, I just think Riley has been there before worked with superstars and made it work he is a big personality and i think he could make things much better.
I know last weeks games were not that hard to pick right, but i think i did a pretty good job (12-4) i really shoulda had 13 though i really thought my Packers were gunna pull it off, i know that if it woulda went to OT they woulda got the W, well really what hurts us every week (even though we have been winning) is the fact that we lost Ryan Grant i know Finely is a huge mis match but really with out a run game it really does hurt the pass attack even though Aaron Rodgers is Mr. Executive clutch himself, still if they had Grant i think they would have at least 2 more wins then they do now. Anyways on another note, the Chargers came away with a huge win sunday night, i dont understand why everyone was picking the Colts to win this one, not only are they pretty banged up and without alot of there starters but its the second half of the season when the Chargers seem to be unbeatable and not to mention Rivers has taken (well before this game) 4 of the past 5 meetings between him and Payton, now he can make it 5. Another game i was happy to see go my way was the Rams Broncos game, again i know Denver has some good weapons but i just think they are very well coached i guess is what it is, yeah i know Mcdaniels is a good quarterback coach and pretty good offensive mind but i just dont see what he has done to HELP the BRoncos out in the past 2 years i mean really all he has done is get rid of there 2 best players, and get fine $100,000, i guess he didnt learn the first time they got caught video taping.
I know that it is a little to early to tell now, but i think that come march and the NCAA tournament i believe that Illinois will be a team to watch out for, i think they will go deep if they can stay healthy, they have 2 dead on 3 point shooters as well as a great big man who has great range offensivly and has a big presents on the defensive end being 7ft and has a little bit a of bulk on him for how tall he is. I was really impressed with them when i watched them last night in the Big 10 ACC challenge. I also saw Ohio state play Florida state and the only thing that really impressed me in the game is FSU's deffense i mean they were down nearly 20 and then they made a huge defensive stand i swear every shot OSU put up it got swated right back at em, if FSU could of hit more then 25% of their shots in the first half i think that they could have pulled a huge upset. Also if you like college basketball tonight there is a great game Michigan State vs. Duke, i think the blue devils can pull it out but i still think MSU is a great team and they will fore sure be around late in March as well.
I wanted to cover a few things in the upcoming week in the NFL, just talk about a couple games i think could be great games but also two huge upsets. I mean that is the theme of this season is it not, this year literally any given sunday any team can win. Which brings me to my first upset of the week. I'm sure you can guess if you have read my previous picks and know that im gunna say the Lions will beat the Bears this week, yes thats right i said it the Lions WILL beat the Bears, the y way i see it is The Lions have played pretty much everyone this year REALLY close, so i think they keep it close till the 4th quarter and Jay Cutler shows everyone why people still are not 100% sold on the Bears. My 2nd upset pick will be the Bucs over the Falcons, yeah i know this one is kinda out there but still, think about it the Bucs are coming off a tough loss everyone is saying how they havent beat anyone to really prove they are a good team. What better statement then to beat the "best" team in the NFL at the moment, plus they Bucs are at home so that gives them a much better chance to come away with a huge win, i think they have a break out game on the ground and Freeman keeps the ball in there hands and steals a close close win. Thats all i am gunna say about Sundays games for now i'll finish my picks probably around friday. Well i'll give you one more i also think that the Bills will come away with a win against the Vikings.
