First Name Mo..Last Name Mentum

     Knute Rockne said "The essence of football is was blocking, tackling, and execution based on timing, rhythm, and deception." More recently, and more aptly, Gloria Estefan said "The rhythm is gonna get you." Momentum and rhythm are a huge part of football, and any other sport for that matter, turning the tide of games and even entire seasons. This has been on full display over the past several years in the NFL playoffs.      This year's Super Bowl will be played by the AFC's #1 seeded New England Patriots, and the NFC's #4 seeded New York Giants. The Patriots were one of the best teams in football all year long, and they are where most people thought they would wind up. Tom Brady leads one of the best offenses in the NFL, and with a head coach that pushes all the right buttons, they consistently are among the contenders for a championship.      The Giants, however, did not have a great season. After starting 6-2, they los...

My Week 14 Recap

-
We're in the process of closing out the season, and the good teams are showing it, while the bad teams are, well, really bad. This week the Packers flex, the Cowboys flop, the Jags romp, and the Broncos do it again. Week 14 Power Rankings: 32. Indianapolis Colts-I really don't see how they could possibly win a game at this point. Move over Lions, you've got company. 31. St Louis Rams-Injuries have killed them, but injuries had nothing to do with not getting Stephen Jackson the ball on the goalline. That's pure idiocy. 30.

They gave up 41 points to the Jags, a team whose season-high up to that point had been 20 points. THAT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE THEIR PREVIOUS BEST. Raheem Morris, go stand in line with Haley and Sparano. 28. Kansas City Chiefs-Todd Haley goes from loo...

Drinking the Hater-ade

All sports fans have a favorite team. It's who we root for year in and year out to win championships, and we're emotionally invested in everything they do. We follow even the smallest bits of news that concern our home team, reveling in the good news, devastated by the bad news. We also have favorite players. They might be members of our favorite team, but they don't have to be. Barry Sanders is my favorite football player of all-time, and he never played for my Bengals team. The reasons for liking them could be nearly anything, but once we become a fan, we usually stay a fan no matter where they go. Likewise, there are teams and players we dislike for varying reasons. So, I'm going to do something a little different. Here are my least favorite players in various sports of all-time, in no particular order. Christian Laettner-To begin with, he plays for Duke, which automatically puts him in a hole, but it goes beyond that. In the 1992 NCAA tournament, Duke met my Kentu...
