Super Bowl Preview

The final game of this football season is upon us and it saddens me. I have no real interest in the game except for the fact that it's football and the Super Bowl. My Eagles were eliminated a few weeks ago so I don't really care who wins, but this game still figures to be a good one.

Why the Colts Should Win:

• Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in the league
• Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison make up quite possibly the best receiving duo in the NFL
• Joseph Addai has done a great job filling in for Edgerrin James, far better than anyone anticipated.
• The Colts defense has been much improved in the postseason
• Adam Vinatieri
• So the offense is basically unstoppable, but...

Why the Bears Should Win:

• The Bears defense has been consistently good throughout the year (although a tad overrated near the end) and if anyone would stop the Colt's offense it would be them
• Rex Grossman, despite his spottiness, is good for a few big plays per game it seems
• Bernard Berrian is a great deep threat
• Thomas Jones is a much better running back than people realize and having Benson as a backup doesn't hurt
• Devin Hester

All things considered, this seems to be a pretty even match-up, but I still think the Bears will come out on top. Despite everything, the Bears are still 15-3 and I don't think this Colts defense will be good enough to stop the Bears. Even though the Bears aren't a very great offense, the Colts defense has just been that bad throughout the year. I pick the Bears in a close one.

Bears: 27
Colts: 20

I Am Excited...

Tonight is a good night of TV

This is Carmelo's first game to play with Allen Iverson as a teammate.

Tonight is the fifth hour of this season of 24

Heroes returns

Right now, the Denver Nuggets are in 7th place in the west and it they have been 7-8 during Anthony's 15 game suspension so Iverson hasn't been a huge help to them thus far, but now we get to see Iverson and Anthony together, but the big question is whether or not two 30 point per game guys can co-exist together. What makes it even better is that there is a free preview of NBA League Pass this week so I can watch it tonight.

Last week on 24, there was an atomic bomb that went off in Los Angeles. It was one of the most shocking moments that I've ever experienced while watching television. Now my question is where do they go from there? Surely they can't top that or can they? Unless Jack Bauer is killed off by the end of the night, I don't see that getting topped. And even if they're not trying to top it, how do you continue that plot line? I'll just have to wait and see I guess...

Gilbert Arenas is a Psychic

I posted on Tuesday about how Gilbert Arenas has been playing like a monster lately. So anyways, I was just reading his blog on NBA.com and his newest prediction is that February 11th against the Trail Blazers will be the next game in which he scores 50 points. He also points out that TNT or ESPN should pick up the game.

This is simply amazing. I don't know if he's legitimitely insane or not, but either way this is thoroughly entertaining to me. And this isn't a one time thing, he's done this before. Before the game against the Jazz last week he told his teammate that he would score 37 points and hit the game winner. Well, he scored 51 so he was a bit off on the points, but he did hit the game winner. He's just insane, but I do know this. If ESPN or TNT does pick up the Wizards/Trail Blazers game on Feb. 11th, I will be watching.

NFL Championship Weekend Preview

I am so late in previewing these games it's insane. I really wanted to do this earlier, but just never did and now the games start in less than 12 hours. Now, all the games have been analyzed from every possible viewpoint so these previews are going to be very brief, but anyways here we go....

NFC: Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints

As with every single game the Bears have played this year, it all comes down to Rex Grossman. Although the team has still won a few games where he's done horrific, I don't think they could pull it out this week with him playing as poorly as he did against Arizona or Green Bay. Another main concern for the Bears this weekend will be their run defense. They did poorly against Shaun Alexander last week so seeing how they do against Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush will be interesting. The Saints are obviously who the non-partial observer will want to win and they have a very good chance with that offense, but I don't see them getting it done. The Bears have been the NFC's best all year and I think they'll pull it out tomorrow.
Bears: 24 Saints: 17

AFC: Indianapolis Colts vs. New England Patriots
Dreamboat vs. Manning. The matchup we've kind of secretly wanted, but are hesitant to embrace. Despite the fact that this game has been incredibly overhyped, it still figures to be a heck of a game. We get to see if Manning will finally overcome his tendency to fail in the clutch and overtake Brady who has been anything but imperfect in clutch games. I don't think that this Colts team is as incredibly good as it was last year and that they blew their best chance last year against the Steelers. I find it very hard to pick against Brady and Belichick in a game of this magnitude and jsut as hard to pick Manning so I'm picking the Patriots. Things just seem more right that way.
Patriots: 28 Colts: 20

edit: apparently josh beat me to the first post so the "let's get this thing started" quote seems to make slightly less sense now, but it's okay.
