Tim Tebow= HE15MAN

"When taking the SAT, write 'Tim Tebow' for every answer. You will score more than 1600." -timtebowfacts.com


No matter how good a player is in college football, he will never win the Heisman if his team has more than 2 losses, or he is an underclassman, right? Well, I believe it is time to throw these ideas out the window. 2 of Florida's losses happened where the defense was on the field. A walkoff field goal, and about 326 consecutive 4th downs converted by LSU. So why punish a player for having 3 losses, even when those losses were all on the defense? The Heisman is for college football's most outstanding player. Oh, so having more touchdowns than Reggie Bush had his Heisman year isn't outstanding? I hope he wins it, because after all, HE'S TIM TEBOW! So with my "HE15MAN" shirt on, I await the verdict.

Is Perfection Probable?

Two days before Christmas, Week 16 will be going on in the NFL. In Gillette Stadium, the Dolphins will attempt to do the unthinkable; Beat the Patriots. The question is, will the Dolphins (0-11) still be winless? The don't have an easy, or should I say difficult route. Their next 3 games include games against the Jets, Bills, and Ravens, not exactly a heavyweight schedule. This team has lost 6 games by 3 points! They could be 6-5 if an opponent field goal goes left, or the go for it on 4 and 1 a couple times.

On the other side, the Patriots recently looked very beatable. Against AJ Feely no less. The Eagles proved something that was thought as imaginary as the tooth fairy; That you can beat the Patriots without the Patriots losing it for you. Tom Brady threw for 380 yards! No interceptions! Yet the hapless Eagles were a Feely interception away from winning. A great performance by a team can beat the Pats. And history is against them. No, Bob Griese and Larry Csonka are not putting voodoo spells on Tom Brady (at least I don't think so). Many teams have been undefeated for the first half. Only one could deal with the pressure. Which also makes me think against the idea of a perfect season. The media is a lot more present now than it was in '72. On a side note:Miami beat New England a 2 or 3 years ago.

Let me get this straight, I am NOT predicting a Miami win on December 23rd. I am just saying don't bet on 17-0 and 0-17 just yet.

Re: Adrian Peterson For MVP!!!

Well, there goes that idea. Just pretend I never said it. On the other hand it did solidify the fact that he is extremely valuable to the Vikings. Shut down Adrian Peterson, and you shut down Minnesota. Next week will be very interesting to see how they do without him for a entire game.

Adrian Peterson for MVP!

Wait, is that too much? Sure, Tom Brady and Randy Moss are having, quite possibly the best season ever, but what does the award say? Most VALUABLE Player. If you take out Tom Brady and put in a decent quarterback, they still have Randy Moss to throw to, plus a top four defense. The same goes if you take out Moss, Brady is still throwing the ball. Without one or another, the Patriots are still looking at 7 or 8 wins.

On the flipside Minnesota has the 22nd best defense, and a horrid passing game. Adrian Peterson is the Vikings. Without him, the Vikings would look like the Dolphins. Not to mention braking the 200 yard mark twice already in the season. If he stays consistant, my vote goes to A.P. Sorry New England.

Pennsylvania vs. Florida NFL Rankings Week 7

1.) Jacksonville (4-2)- Lost to the other undefeated team

2.) Pittsburgh (4-2)- Haven't beaten anyone bigshots, (sounds familiar, huh buckeyes)

3.) Tampa Bay (4-3)- Garcia has no ints, but some costly fumbles

4.) Philadelphia (2-4)- Seriously, can McNabb say anything not stupid, or concerning race?

5.) Miami (0-6)- 0-16? No longer a long shot
The Verdict: Florida Wins this week despite an 0-6 team inside the border.

Any one else extremely annoyed at Mr. Donovan McNabb lately? And this is coming from a fan. I have 3 McNabb bobbleheads on my shelf, and I would like to say something to the Eagles talkative QB, JUST SHUT UP! Please, your becoming your enemy Terrell Owens. Race means nothing concerning winning football games. Sure the Eagles would have a better record if they had a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning. But would it be better with a Joey Harrington. There are good quarterbacks and bad ones. Race has nothing to do with it. Let the writers do the talking, just do your job like the rookie from Syracuse did.

Also Here is WHITE Donovan McNabb

Phillies: Party Like it's 1993!

Wow. On a day reserved for football, I was watching baseball. The Phillies could possibly be the real deal. Everything clicked on Sunday, getting major hits from J-Roll and Ryan Howard, and even our resident 100 year-old Jamie Moyer got it on the right track leading the Phils to a 6-1 win over the Nationals, which, along with a Mets loss, gives the Phillies the NL East Crown, putting them in the playoffs for the first time in over a decade.

Jimmy Rollins had a MVP game to cap off his possible MVP season, with two stolen bases, and a triple that got the fans to throw their cheesteaks in the air for joy. Seriously, I have never seen the fans so excited in a regular season game. This is Philadelphia, where they boo you if you go off one key during the national anthem

Anyway, This is it. The first chance to redeem Mitch Williams, well lets not get too ahead of ourselves.

NFL Rankings (PA vs FLA)

The flag of Philly must hold some mighty powers. At least putting the colors on the Eagles uniforms did something. It transformed a stagnant offense, that looked confused and just plain bad, and turned it on its head. despite giving Jon Kitna (concussion hangover?) a career day, the offense saved the day with its 56 points, 42 of the points in the first half, a record for the Eagles. Keven Curtis looked like Jerry Rice getting 221 yards in the air. This win just confuses me. Is this for real? Somehow, I doubt Curtis will ever hit the 200 yard mark again, but McNabb and Westbrook could easily have the week they had on Sunday again. They have an easy next three weeks with the Giants, Jets, and bye week coming up.

1.) Pittsburgh (3-0)- Look like a top three team right now

2.)Tampa Bay (2-1)- beat a week Rams team

3.) Jacksonville (2-1)- Upset over the Broncos did not include a Elam winner

4.)Philadelphia (1-2)-Gain alot of momentum when Kevin Curtis goes nuts in yellow and blue

5.)Miami (0-3)- Pick who they're playing for Surivival Football every week

My Case for the South Florida Bulls

Before 1997, there were no Bulls. Sure, it doesn't have the history of a Alabama or Penn State, or even Ball State. But they have made major improvements since starting their football program in '97 where they started out as a 1-AA independent, and in just 4 years moved to 1-A, and since 2005 they are now in the Big East. I say this team has the possibility to finish in the top 15 this year, and who knows after that.

Every year they seem to have at least one upset: in '05 it was 9th Louisville, '06 saw them defeat 7th ranked West Virginia. This past year they beat #17 Auburn, which put them in the AP 25 for the first time ever at 23.

This season looks harder they play a weak team next week in UNC, then come the big boys: West Virginia on the 28th, Rutgers on 10-18, and Louisville on 11-17. Lead by QB Matt Grothe, and head coach for all 10 years Jim Leavitt, this team has the potential. Who said Boise State would go no where?

Throwbacks PA Style

Black and Gold will forever be the Steelers, but what about brown? Am I the only one who liked Pittsburgh's throwbacks they wore on Sunday? Sure, the mustard helmets were a little too much, but I like the brown. Also, this week the Eagles will be wearing Blue and Yellow for their 1933 throwbacks (Denver Nuggets meet Baby blue Chargers. And you thought the Steelers looked weird. More information, along with great uniform analysis can be found here http://www.uniwatchblog.com/?p=460

NFL WEEK 2

The NFL Opening Weekend has come and passed. My Buccaneers lost to the Seahawks, then beat division rivals Saints, while the hometown Eagles lost to both Green Bay and Washington. All the while the other state teams, Pittsburgh (2-0), Jacksonville (1-1), and Miami (0-2) had mixed reviews.

For my beloved Bucs, I still dont know if they're good, or if the Saints just aren't living up to last years amazing run. Jeff Garcia (an ex-Eagle) has proven that last year for him wasnt a fluke. While the defense is still middle of the pack (18th in points) They have taken steps to get younger, drafting Gaines Adams and getting rid of Simeon Rice. As much as I love the old time bucs of Alstott, Dunn, and Nickerson, they need to keep improving during the offseason.

The Eagles however, have a long season ahead of them. They will play the surprising 2-0 Lions (Will Jon Kitna actually be right?!), and a strong defensive team in the Bears within the next five weeks. Lets hope the upcoming bye week will be beneficial to them.

Palms in PA Standings

1.) Pittsburgh (2-0)-The Throwback unis wont even hold back Big Ben

2.) Tampa Bay (1-1)- The win against the Saints is getting the fans pumped (myself included)

3.) Jacksonville (1-1)- Atlanta helps improve this top 5 defensive teams.

4.) Philadelphia (0-2)- Where is A.J. Feeley??

5.) Miami (0-2)- Good luck trying to win this division with the invincible Patriots with a two game lead.

The Verdict:

Pennsylvania: The Steelers alone are enough to get them past FLA.
