Well I just love blogging so much I wish we had to post ten times a week instead of only three. (Joking)
There is big news going around the MLB. It’s this new book that Joe Torre had apart of. I guess that he has some quotes or is quoted in the book and some are questionable if you are a Yankee or a New Yorker. I guess he says some things about how he was left kinda out to dry. I can understand because he did pretty well in New York but the past few seasons he didn’t do so hot but still overall he did very well. But the Yankees were only offering him a year deal and a pay cut. That seems kind of harsh but I guess it is the Yankees and don’t care what it takes to win.
There are some issues with the San Diego Chargers GM and LT. Some things were said I guess that the main sports guys think that LT will be playing for a different team next season. They were saying on Around the Horn on ESPN that this wasn’t a good thing for the franchise since LT is the chargers franchise player so that could hurt there publicity.
The super bowl is this weekend. The spread for this weekend’s game is the Steelers favored by 6 point over the Cardinals. I think that the Steelers’s are the favorite but I think that the game could go either way or be a lot closer if Holmes doesn’t play or is not 100 percent.

Well to all loving fans aka Mr. Ayers I was visiting my ancestiors in the motherland of Germany, so I have not had a chance to blog since they do not have computers on that side of the planet.
Also this week, a new president was sworn in. Our 44th President Barrack Obama. This was a historic day in American history.
Before we get started I use to read Rick Reilly every week at the end of Sports Illustrated but then he decided to leave Sports Illustrated and went to ESPN probably for the money. He really doesn’t have a column like he use to so I kind of disappoints me because I really enjoyed reading his weekly article.
Well the NFL division championships have been decided. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore in one of the best games I’ve ever seen. It was such a hard hitting game, I liked it a lot. And then in the NFC the Cardinals defeated the Eagles but the Cardinals were up big but then in the third quarter the Eagles made a come back but the Cardinals held them off. So in the 43rd (I think) super bowl it will be the Arizona Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Stealers.

Now the bowl season is over but I still want to talk about the BCS games because I haven’t had time to get to those yet. In the championship Florida beat Oklahoma 24 14. This is Florida’s second championship in three years. This game was real close all the way through until late in the fourth quarter then it kind of go out of hand but still over all it was a good game I thought. Tebow threw two interceptions in the first half but ended up passing for 232 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 109 yards. Many thought that after the game he would announce his intentions to go to the draft but he did no such thing later this week he announced that he would return for his senior season. So depending on what Sam Bradford decides all three of the heismen candidates could be back for next season. Missouri’s Maclin announced this week that he would be heading to the draft. Texas Tech Michel Crabtree also announced that he would be going to the draft.
The final ranking came out and in the AP top 25 the top five are, 1. Florida 2. Utah 3.USC 4. Texas 5. Oklahoma. In the Coach’s top 25 poll the top five are 1. Florida 2.USC 3.Texas 4.Utah 5.Oklahoma.
The NFL playoff’s are in full swing. In the division championships for the NFC it the Eagles and the Cardinals, and for the AFC it’s the Ravens and the Steelers.

I know this blog is suppose to be about sports but I saw 7 pounds this past week and I just had a couple of comments on it. I thought it was a really good movie. I was a little confused when it started and through probably like a half hour or so but then I figured out what was going on and it turned in to a really sad movie. I usually don’t like sad movies but this one was really good.
A little news from close to home. On Friday night the boys faced off with cross town rival Jefferson. When ever we play Jefferson they seem to make it like the state championships. It reminds me of when Iowa and Iowa state play. Anyways the boys pretty much rock Jeff’s world. They beat them by like 15, and it really wasn’t that close the whole game. Then Saturday number one ranked Linn Mar played Sioux City Heelen who are ranked number one in 3A. It was a match up of the number one’s. At the start of the fourth it was all tied up at 32 but then Heelen ended the game with 17 to 10 fourth quarter. So Kennedy moves up to number two in the state. They play Wash on Friday.
Iowa’s back up quarterback Jake Christensen has decided to transfer his father told espn that on Saturday. He started all of the 2007 season but then this year he start off being the started but then lost the starting spot to Rick Stanzi. He was granted unconditional release by Ferentz. His dad told espn that four schools have already offered scholarships. He is a four year junior.

Before we get into the bowl season and all that’s happening with that. There was big news this week in college basketball number one North Carolina got lost to unranked Boston College. Many people believed that this North Carolina team could make it through the season without losing a game. I listened to coach Williams talk and he said that he was not happy they lost but if it was going to happen that it happen now and not later in the season or in the tournament. I have seen them play only a couple of times but when I did watch them, they seemed to pretty good compared to there opponents.
Now to the bowl games. All of them have been played except the championship one that is tonight. In the GMAC bowl it was number 22 Ball State against unraked Tulsa. Tulsa absolutely crushed Ball State 45 to 13. Wake Forest and Navy faced off in the EagleBank bowl. Wake Forests Skinner passed for 166 yards in there 29 to 19 win over Navy. In the Magicjack St. Petersburg bowl Grothe, of South Florida knock Memphis our early. Grothe passed for 236 yards and rushed for 83 more. South Florida won big 41 to14. Colorado State and Fresno State faced off in the New Mexico bowl. This one was close all the way through but Colorado State scored 20 in the fourth to win 40 to 35. BYU and Arizona played in the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. The crazy thing was that there was six inches of snow in Las Vegas when they played the game. Arizona upset number 16 BYU 31 to 21. Southern Miss and Troy went head to head in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. This was an exciting game it was back and forth the whole game. It ended up going into overtime. Southern Miss ended up winning by holding Troy to a field goal attempt but they missed and then Southern Miss kicked one of there own. The final was 30 to 27. TCU ended Boise State’s bid for perfection in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. It was a very close game, the final was 16 to 17. More to come…
