Because it's the Super Bowl this Sunday, I am doing a top five of my personal favorite Super Bowl moments that have stuck with me. I would recommended for something to read that you check out the Lil Wayne article done by the Rolling Stone. I will also have an interview with Eric from the Daily Sports Grind and my rant about 21st birthday parties then a full-on Super Bowl breakdown with my final pick of the year.
1. Favre to Rison 1997 Super Bowl- The Packers Super Bowl win is probably in the top three of coolest sports moments for me (right there with making the playoffs with Tosa West, and Marquette to the Final Four). This play symbolizes the 90s version of Favre and the type of team the Packers were that year. They took a headcase and made him into a legitimate second option.
2. Desmond Howard's Return 1997 Super Bowl- All year Howard had been the game changer for the Packers and really was the reason the Packers were so good that year because of their excellent special teams. Howard took from the goal line and found the seam to take it to the house putting a dagger in the Pats. It also gave his career hope after looking like it had gone nowhere after winning the Heisman.
3. Kevin Dyson One-Yard Short 2000 Super Bowl- I apologize for no Packer links but they really do not have anything on YouTube. This was probably the best Super Bowl I have watched for many reasons and it featured everything you had wanted. Both teams were virtually Cinderellas to begin the year and ended up in the Super Bowl with one yard from getting a touchdown.
4. Adam Vinateri Field Goal Winner 2002 Super Bowl- I watched the game with a bunch of people and they asked to put the score on the board. As a young kid, I went with 31 Pats 28 Rams. For some strange reason in my 13 year old mind, I felt confidence that an underdog could win this game. This also could explain why I still to this day love the underdog (foreshadowing!??!?!?!)
5. David Tyree's Catch 2008 Super Bowl- Probably the most improbable Super Bowl in a long time when the six-seeded Giants beat the then-undefeated New England Patriots. It was ironic that the Pats were once the underdogs who everybody loved and by this time, there was such a hatred for them. When Tyree made that catch, only one time was my 10 floor dormitory.

How to Figure Out the AFC (SD/TENN pick)
Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate Christmas. I am pretty sure that I am going to take a day off from posting on Christmas Day unless I feel inspired to do a running Christmas diary for the Kobe-LeBron game. We will see, no promises made. I will also start doing more NBA/NCAA College Basketball stuff starting next week.
The AFC Playoff picture is crazier than Britney Spears decision to shave her head. If Baltimore or Denver loses this week or both of them fall in defeat (might happen)... all hell will break loose in the AFC. There will be about 93 situations of things that might happen for teams to snake their way into the playoffs. In addition, some teams I want to see in the playoffs and others I do not want anywhere near the playoffs. I will let you that in this playoff post.
5. Baltimore (8-6)- at Pittsburgh, at Oakland- ODDS: 4 to 1, you might think im crazy but I really do not like the stretch run for the Ravens. People are praising them when they played two teams that gave up on the season and now have two very difficult road games.
6. Denver (8-6)- at Philadelphia, vs. Kansas City- ODDS 3 to 1, I don't know what happens if the Broncos drop a game but the game against Philly will be tough challenge (could be an awesome game). Kansas City is a rivalry game but they should win that going away.
7. Jacksonville (7-7)- at New England, at Cleveland- ODDS 5 to 1, I hate the Jags end of the year schedule despite playing a bottom-feeder in the Browns. On the road in Cleveland will not be kind to the Jaguars and the Patriot game will be a challenge.
8. Miami (7-7)- vs. Houston, vs. Pittsburgh- ODDS 3 to 1, The Dolphins can decide their own destiny playing two teams in the playoff hunt and both are home games. The Phins impressed me last week in a tough loss against Tennessee.
9. NY Jets (7-7)- at Indianapolis, vs. Cincinnati- ODDS 10-1, Hate the Jets chances worse than the Jags because the Dolphins own a tie breaker over them and you could see both teams still fighting for things (16-0 and third place).
10. Pittsburgh (7-7)- vs. Baltimore, at Miami- ODDS 8-1, I think the Steelers will be inspired after a last second win but they need a lot to happen for them to have a chance to sneak in. I still cannot trust their secondary either.
11. Tennessee (7-7)- vs. San Diego, at Seattle- ODDS 12-1, The Titans are the feel good story of the second half of the season and I would really like to see Tennessee make it into the playoffs. But it appears pulling Kerry Collins happened a little too late.
12. Houston (7-7)- at Miami, vs. New England- ODDS 15-1, If the Texans find their way into the playoffs it will be an absolute miracle. Not a chance it happens.
San Diego (11-3) at Tennessee (7-7)- The Chargers know if they win that they get the first-round bye. Also their record in December has been flawless. The Titans realize this is a do-or-die game for them and if they can find a way to win maybe they will push up in that playoff picture. This game will be close and the Chargers will pull it out late just like last week. SD 31-27

Playoffs to 0-3
There are two 0-3 teams that I really feel that could probably be better than their record shows right now. They both involve great running backs and pretty staunch defenses. Those teams were both in the playoffs last year and maybe could do the unthinkable to come back.
The first team is the Carolina Panthers who have the noodle-arm quarterback known as Jake Delhomme but they do have an awesome 1-2 running back punch in DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart plus Steve Smith therefore its really hard to figure out how they haven't won a game. Also, the Panthers now have Jeff Garcia availiable as he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. They should sign him and signaled the end for Delhomme. Now I don't know if they can make the playoffs with the Atlanta Falcons/New Orleans Saints in the NFC South division yet it might save John Fox job.
The second team is the Tennessee Titans who have caught some bad breaks in the first three weeks but once again, they have a stellar running back combo with Chris Johnson and LenDale "No More Patron" White. Also the problem is their quarterback but include their secondary in that mix. They couldn't stop Big Ben, Matt Schaub, and Matt Sanchez so far who knows if they will figure that out this season. In addition, its time for Vince Young again. It has been a year since the whole Young drama and Kerry Collins won last year because of the super defense they had. Collins cannot do it without the defense, they should insert Young. Also they probably will not make the playoffs with the Indianapolis Colts and their tough schedule.

NFL Preview: AFC South/AFC West
And after this one we are done leading to a couple things that happened today then picks for both NCAA/NFL hopefully on time.
AFC South
1. Indianapolis Colts: Key Players- QB Peyton Manning WR Reggie Wayne RB Joesph Addai Key Games- vs. Seattle (10/4) at/vs Tennessee (10/11, 12/6) vs/at Houston (11/8, 11/29) vs. New England (11/15) at Baltimore (11/22) Outlook- My roommate and die hard Manning fan Brett is worried about their O-Line but I think they will once again reclaim the AFC South. Although due to the hard divison, they will finish in the fourth spot in the AFC.
2. Tennessee Titans: Key Players- RB Chris Johnson CB Courtland Finnegan LB Keith Bulluck Key Games- at Pittsburgh (9/10) vs/at Houston (9/20, 11/23) vs/at Indianapolis (10/11, 12/6) at New England (10/18) vs. San Diego (12/25) at Seattle (1/3) Outlook- The big question is will Kerry Collins relive the year he had in 08? I think he can with the combination of Johnson/LenDale White I think will be too much for most teams. They beat out Houston for the sixth spot.
3. Houston Texans: Key Players- WR Andre Johnson QB Matt Schaub LB DeMeco Ryans Key Games- at/vs Tennessee (9/20, 11/23) at/vs Indianapolis (11/8, 11/29) vs. Seattle (12/13) vs. New England (1/3) Outlook- Honestly they could have a chance sneaking in with all the weak teams they play this year but they will fall just short of the Titans.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Key Players- RB Maurice Jones-Drew QB David Garrard DT John Henderson Key Games- at/vs Indianapolis (9/13, 12/17 ) vs/at Tennessee (10/4, 11/1) at New England (12/27) Outlook- Its not off to a good start with MJD questionable this week but they have no support through the air. Jack Del Rio will be gone after this one.
AFC West
1. San Diego Chargers: Key Players- QB Phillip Rivers RB LaDainen Tomilinson LB Shawne Tequi.. er Merriman Key Games- vs. Baltimore (9/20) at Pittsburgh (10/4) at NY Giants (11/8) vs. Philadelphia (11/15) at Tennessee (12/25) Outlook- I would like to remind everyone that it took an 8-8 team to win this division. The Chargers should coast and the first four games will tell us a lot about the Bolts.
2. Kansas City Chiefs: Key Players- QB Matt Cassell WR Dwayne Bowe LB Mike Vrabel Key Games- at Baltimore (9/13) at Philadelphia (9/27) vs. NY Giants (10/4) vs/at San Diego (10/25, 11/29) vs. Pittsburgh (11/22) Outlook- This is like picking the smartest Playboy bunny because you know all of those girls are complete dumb shits just like how the rest of the West is awful.
3. Oakland Raiders (AKA the Pratts): Key Players- QB JaMarcus Russell CB Nnamdi Asomugha DE Richard Seymour (oh wait.... shit, great move Al!) RB Darren McFadden Key Games- vs/at San Diego (9/14, 11/1) at NY Giants (10/11) vs. Philadelphia (10/18) at Pittsburgh (12/6) vs. Baltimore Outlook: I think they will be better than Denver but just by a bit. I hope they enjoy picking once again in the top 10. Also I wonder if Al will freeze when teams goes to the Steel City in December.
4. Denver Broncos: Key Players- QB Kyle Orton, WR Brandon Marshall, RB Knowshon Moreno Key Games- vs. New England (10/11) vs/at San Diego (10/19 ) at Baltimore (11/1) vs. Pittsburgh (11/9) vs. NY Giants (11/26) at Indianapolis (12/13) at Philadelphia (12/27) Outlook- With everything that has happened and that is continuing to happen, isn't inevitable with that schedule Denver will be drafting top five? I think so.

R.I.P. Steve McNair
Growing up in the late 90s and the early 2000s, you have a lot of favorite players for whatever reason it is. I myself liked the Tennessee Titans because of the Music City Miracle and their run to the Super Bowl that year. That also is the first Super Bowl that the Packers werent in that I vividly remember. I remember feeling bad for Kevin Dyson, Eddie George, and Steve McNair who was one of my favorite quarterbacks in that era.
Now McNair is gone as he was shot in the head in what is being called a homicide. My prayers go out to his family and all of his former teammates/coaches. I cant even fathom losing an old high school teammate that I was close with and I am positive there are people that at a lost of words with McNair now gone.
The fact that someone senselessly shot him just like Sean Taylor a couple years ago mind boggles me and saddens me that he isnt with us anymore. The other thing that I dont get is McNair never seemed like a guy who got into trouble and something like this happening to him was the farthest from my mind.
R.I.P. Steve "Air" McNair.

Vince Young is a Crybaby
Vince Young has decided that he doesnt want to be a Tennessee Titan anymore because he is not getting playing time. Well what makes Young think that he deserves this play time? Lets take a look at Young's career so far.
In 2007, he did make the Pro Bowl and they had a 3-8 record before having Young step in as a starter and led them back to a .500 record which was something that was worth giving him props. The reason why Young was so good in 07' was because a lot like Michael Vick, coaches had no idea how to scheme against his style of play. But a lot like Vick, Young was soon to get hurt.
He went down in early 2009 and enter in Kerry Collins who led his team to the best record in the AFC. Young had a complete and utter breakdown with a near suicide attempt. Young tried to put on his best "Matt Leinart face" (speaking of which is the Young-Leinart disappointment in the NFL around the same thing as Adam Morrison-JJ Redick disappointment in the NBA) saying he was going to keep learning the playbook and trying to become a better quarterback for the upcoming seasons due to the fact that Collins probably has two years left at best on him.
Young has to realize that he lost his starting job because Collins was a better quarterback for the time Young was injured. The other thing that Young has to realize is the NFL last year had something like 60 quarterbacks start at one time last season. Young will have his chance at sometime next season to play and he needs to make the most of that opportunity.

NFL Divisional Picks
I am sorry I am bit late on this but I still give you all of them....
Saturday
Baltimore at Tennessee- Some are calling this game boring and yes, it will probably have its moments although this will be one of the hardest hitting games you will ever see. The Titans are going to be ready to play this game, they havent played in a couple of weeks and the big key is Albert Hanyesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch are both back from injury. They need Kerry Collins to have a decent game to let the run develop. The Ravens defense is really tough right now and no one is playing better than Ed Reed is right now. Although when it all boils down to it, Joe Flacco is a rookie quarterback and I just dont see him able to carry his team. TENN 17-13
Arizona at Carolina- Everyone is saying that this game will be a complete blowout by the Carolina Panthers. You gotta believe that the Cards are using that as motivation all week to get their guys up for this playoff game. Kurt Warner still has it in him to lead this guys to victory and I think they can if they can stop the run like they did last weekend. But if the Panthers score two quick touchdowns or any early turnovers it could be a long game for Arizona. I will do a Lee Corso, "Closer than the experts think!" CAR 28-24
Sunday
Philadelphia at New York Giants- The big NFC East rematch, I think its crazy that there are people still doubting the Giants after all they have done this year so far. Also I think people are riding the jocks of Phillie a little too hard. Brian Westbrook had a huge game last year in the Meadowlands and for them to win, they need that out of him again. Eli Manning does need another reciever to step up for them to replace Swiss Plax because they hasnt happen yet. I will take the Giants in an ugly one. NYG 20-13
San Diego at Pittsburgh- Great stat for all you fans out there. San Diego is 0-13 against Pittsburgh in the regular season but the Chargers are 2-0 against the Steelers in the playoffs. I remember in 1995, no one thought that Stan Humpheries could beat the Steelers at Three Rivers and they did. Anyways, Darren Sproles is a perfect Ewing Theory candidate and I really think the Steelers havent seen a player like that this year. The big question is the Chargers defense shut down the Colts last weekend and what makes you think they cant do again with a lesser offense? I am taking the Chargers in an upset and will amaze myself on how Norv Turner wins playoff games with San Diego. SD 24-13

The QB Shuffle of the NFL
Something to me that is a quite disturbing is the fact of the matter that there are three teams that have scrapped their starting quarterback for veteran back-ups. I think that a lot of these teams are thinking this NFL season is a sprint which it is not. They feel these guys give them the best chance to win, lets take a gander at who we got....
Kerry Collins-Tennessee Titans- The former alcoholic and depressed guy who has risen/fallen more times than the stock market. I mean he is probably the best option out of the three guys I will talk about. He still has the talent to be an alright quarterback in the NFL and thats really all he needs to do with the Titans as they have a really good defense. What the Titans are not realizing is they are slowly destroying the ESPN hype machine baby Vince Young. I still believe Leinart will end up having a career in the NFL and Young will not because only Donovan McNabb is the only guy to pull off scrambler quarterback role but he still got hurt throughout the years. Granted, Young is a fuckin mess right now and is the NFL's version of Amy Winehouse but I really believe Coach Jeff Fisher's comments about "Kerry Collins is our quarterback if he keeps winning" is the kiss of death for Vince Young.
Next in the QB Carousel, you have Brian Griese for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this is the one I am completely lost on why Jon Gruden thinks it is a good idea to scrap Jeff Gracia who won 12 games for your team last year for a guy like Griese who has been a bust for years upon years. Tampa Bay might believe they only need an alright quarterback to get by but they need Gracia, he is a proven winner when given a good enough team. Earnest Graham will hit a sophomore slump and their defense is just about as weathered as the New England Patriots. They will be lucky to get into the playoffs and I will not be shocked to see Gracia back by week 7.
The final one is by far the worst one... Gus Ferotte of the Minnesota Vikings. Are you kiddin' me? I dont mean to make fun of a Vikes fans but wasnt Tarvaris Jackson suppose to be the next Dnabb because Vikings head coach Brad Childress "made McNabb the player he is." Now after two games, where in my opinion, he hasnt been awful because I will go back to what I have been saying; T-Jax just has to be alright because he has Adrian Peterson, you dont need a gunslinger out there. But what has been awful has been Childress playcalling and decision making. Trust me if this team doesnt get to the playoffs, he is gone. No doubt. His hope, a 37 year old QB whose the dumbfuck that rammed his head into the stands walls.
Well the Packers play all three of these teams so hopefully the Pack makes me look like a genius when they destroy them all.
Kerry Collins-Tennessee Titans- The former alcoholic and depressed guy who has risen/fallen more times than the stock market.

Granted, Young is a fuckin mess right now and is the NFL's version of Amy Winehouse but I really believe Coach Jeff Fisher's comments about "Kerry Collins is our quarterback if he keeps winning" is the kiss of death for Vince Young.Next in the QB Carousel, you have Brian Griese for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this is the one I am completely lost on why Jon Gruden thinks it is a good idea to scrap Jeff Gracia who won 12 games for your team last year for a guy like Griese who has been a bust for years upon years. Tampa Bay might believe they only need an alright quarterback to get by but they need Gracia, he is a proven winner when given a good enough team. Earnest Graham will hit a sophomore slump and their defense is just about as weathered as the New England Patriots. They will be lucky to get into the playoffs and I will not be shocked to see Gracia back by week 7.
The final one is by far the worst one... Gus Ferotte of the Minnesota Vikings. Are you kiddin' me? I dont mean to make fun of a Vikes fans but wasnt Tarvaris Jackson suppose to be the next Dnabb because Vikings head coach Brad Childress "made McNabb the player he is." Now after two games, where in my opinion, he hasnt been awful because I will go back to what I have been saying; T-Jax just has to be alright because he has Adrian Peterson, you dont need a gunslinger out there. But what has been awful has been Childress playcalling and decision making. Trust me if this team doesnt get to the playoffs, he is gone. No doubt. His hope, a 37 year old QB whose the dumbfuck that rammed his head into the stands walls.Well the Packers play all three of these teams so hopefully the Pack makes me look like a genius when they destroy them all.
