The Patriots will prove today that good offense trumps good defense. The Packers’ 3 fumbles and 8 dropped passes didn’t help prove that. Patriots shoot down the Ravens, 31 to 20.
It has become the biggest cliché to talk about the Giants’ pass rush. Watch ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown, CBS’ NFL Today, or FOX NFL Sunday and drink every time they mention the Giants’ pass rush. The 49ers run the West Coast offense. They have quick drops and quick releases. Alex Smith won’t give the Giants’ pass rush enough time to get to him. 49ers win 17-13. Oh, and drink 3 times.
CBS misreported Joe Paterno’s death last night. OOPSIE! Joe Paterno has since passed away. Queue week-long coverage of Joe Paterno’s legacy.
The Capitals and Penguins renew their rivalry at 12:30 in Pittsburgh. The Capitals currently find themselves, even after winning 6 of 10, in the 8th Conference spot for the NHL playoffs. The way the seeding works, though, they’re 2 points behind division leader Florida, which means 2 points from the 3rd seed.
The Heat won again without Wade. You only need 2 stars on a team to succeed in the NBA. Once you get to 3, they take shot attempts away from each other.
The Lakers are back out west tonight as they host the Pacers in the STAPLES Center. The Lakers are 9-1 at home. Kobe is slumping with 3 straight games under 40 points. Unacceptable.
Jay-Z rapped about Knicks and Nets giving him high-fives. They are a combined 10-22. Way to pick a couple terrible New York teams to rap about. You’re making the “Knicks hat more famous than a Knick can.”
The Wizards are BAD, but, if they can beat the reeling Celtics today, they could pull the last straw on the break-up of the Big 3.
Virginia Tech, losers of 4 straight, desperately need a win at #17 Virginia today. The Hoos can get revenge for their embarrassing football loss by sending the Hokies to a disparaging 0-5 in the ACC. Virginia Tech needs today’s game to avoid 0-5 AND as a victory over a top opponent.
Notre Dame upset Syracuse yesterday in South Bend. The Orange shot a horrific 34% from the field and were out-rebounded 37-24. When your team’s average height is 6′6″, how are you going to get out-rebounded?
Florida State upset Duke in Cameron Indoor last night. How many times do I have to say that Duke is overrated this year? And Florida State? We picked them to beat North Carolina.
#10 Murray State (WHO?) is the only remaining undefeated team in Division 1 college basketball with 20 wins. If you can tell me, without looking it up, what state Murray State is in, you win a pat on the back.
Does anyone want Prince Fielder? Better question: Does anyone want to pay Prince Fielder 20+ million dollars a year?
