January 29, 2008

Less than a week to the Super Bowl and the media frenzy is really about to take off. Today is Media day and more than likely, someone will make a statement that reporters will take about for another two days. Me, I like to try and focus on the game, since that is what its about.

They played less than a month ago, so they are pretty familiar with each other. In that last game, the Giants were right there and their game plan was an effective one. This time, I don't know if they'll be as successful. First, their secondary is banged up. Sam Madison has only played in one game this postseason, because of a strained stomach muscle. Aaron Ross was playing with a hurt shoulder, and now has the flu. Their secondary has been doing outstanding things against good receiving corps this season, but Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth and Tom Brady are a totally different animal.

Speaking of Brady, I would not pay any attention to his ankle. This is Brady's chance to permanently add his name to legendary quarterbacks. Not only would this be his fourth Super Bowl, but he would have been the quarterback of the second team to go the entire season undefeated. That would be amazing and I don't think his ankle would stop him for attempting that.

So those were first thoughts on the big game. More will come throughout the week. I mean it is only Tuesday.

The NBA All-Star game is approaching fast. I'm anxious to see who's going to be left out in the Western Conference. A ton of players are having monster seasons, but its only 12 spots. The reserves will be announced on Thursday, so we'll all find out then.

Lastly, some disappointing news from my alma mater, Howard University. The men's soccer coach was arrested after driving to Virginia to meet a girl he thought was 13 years old. Yes 13 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to wonder where NBC continued to find cases for their "To Catch A Predator Series" Not anymore......Damn shame..........
