Turkey With A Side Of Couch Potatoes

bren — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:37:48 +0000

In looking at the schedule of Football games on the old teli today. There really is no reason to even leave the couch. Which I think is one of the best things about Thanksgiving. Yeah sure you have the family, friends, 5k’s, High School Football and all that to go and see/do. Really though once you sit your but on that couch there is really no way your going to leave. I love how the games are scheduled this year 12:30, 4:15 and 8:20, just friggin awesome. Starting things off with the Packers and Lions at 12:30 is superb. Could be the best match-up we see all day. Aaron Rogers and Mathew Stafford slinging TD’s like nobody’s business. If you thought Stafford had a great week last week just you wait. He will most likely be playing catchup and will have to throw more often so Green Bay may have their hands full. Hopefully they aren’t to greasy from the Turkey on the sidelines.My prediction is Green Bay by 12 (first number that came to mind).

Then there is the so so showdown between the Dolphins and Cowboys. Seems really like an easy win for the Cowboys but you never know with this team. The Dolphins have been using Reggie Bush to his ability so that may cause some problems for the ‘Boys on defense but still not enough to win I think. I’m going to say the Cowboys by an easy 2 touchdowns.

Lastly we have the Ravens and 49ers which might actually be the defensive battle of the day. Funny to start things off with an offensive match-up and end with a defensive one. I think it will be a 16-15 heart breaker for the Ravens. I say the Ravens go out to an early lead and the 49ers work their way back through the air and rely on David Akers to provide the victory.

That sounds like one hell of a solid day of football and I can not wait to get started. We’ll see how right I am on these predictions. It’s either sink or swim for me letting it all ride this year.

Mohegan Sun Trade Show

bren — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 14:35:47 +0000

For the 1st time, the Interactive Sports Gallery made an appearance this past weekend to promote its primary item the Pro Pitching Guide. I will have to say that for my first time, I think things went extremely well. Of course there are many things I would do differently or add to my display but all in all it was a great experience. Just being around coaches and other vendors of like mind was such a thrill. Listening to Nomar Garciaparra talk about hitting or Don Slaught talk about breaking down a players swing was well worth the trip. They had many good people to talk to and make connections with so you never know what will come of it. I was able to gain so much from the past 3 days that it would be hard for me to chalk this up as a total loss. I did not sell as many Pitching Guides as I would have liked but, it is never about that when it comes to these events. Those connections you make can help you down the road with something you had never even thought of before.

NFL MVP Race

bren — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 23:56:26 +0000

If you told me at the beginning of the year Michael Vick would be talked about in the same sentence as Tom Brady for MVP I would have said eh probably not. Sure enough, that is what is happening. You look at what Vick has meant to the Eagles success this year and also how Tom Brady has carried the Patriots even with the departure of Randy Moss. To me it can be a toss up but I would have to put the edge on Vick for comeback player of the year but not MVP. He has served his penance and I respect him for turning the corner in his life to being a better person. Brady is without a doubt the MVP. The team solely relies upon him running the offense week in and week out. If he has a bad game, the entire team is effected by it. For that reason I believe he will get the MVP nod.

Jordan Makes It To UNC

With all the sports going on nowadays I have to admit I have become lost it in myself. I haven’t posted in quite a while and I apologize for that. I could give you a list of excuses or I could just get down to it. So Michael Jordan made it into North Carolina’s Hall Of Fame last night as he was inducted at half time. Does anyone else think that this is just a looong time coming for him? I would have seriously thought that he was inducted as soon as he left Chapel Hill:

It does seem odd that this hasn’t happened sooner but its nice to see none the less.

Nike Fake Out

bren — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 13:59:43 +0000

So there is some jokester who apparently had a ton of time on his hands and released some uniform ideas that supposedly Nike will be making for the 2012 Football Season. People are all up in arm because the uniforms changed so drastically and you can’t change something that’s been the same for years. Well why not? I mean really these uniforms aren’t that bad. I might feel bad for Vince Wilfork in a Patriots Uniform:

Really though are they that terrible? I bet if the uniforms were like this there would be an uproar for about 3 weeks. After that people would care more about there team winning and loosing than what the hell they are wearing. Change isn’t always a bad thing. Best one in my eyes:

Stay On Your Toes

My friend sent this video my way and it is absolutely awesome. Remember you have to be ready for anything when you play even the most unusual. I could watch this a hundred times, actually I think I have:

LeBron’s Message

bren — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 02:51:43 +0000

So I am not entirely sure what LeBron James was hoping to accomplish with his current commercial:

What I think you should do LeBron is to just let it go. You are the only one who is keeping this thing going and your making yourself out to be more of a jerk than anything else. If you didn’t think he was arrogant before this then I think this sort of takes the cake. I mean there are better ways of saying the message your trying to convey. You could simply say something along the lines of I had a great time in Cleveland and look forward to what is coming next. Something simple yet not cutting down or telling people to basically shove it. I think the media has built him up to the point where he knows he can get away with anything. Really all you can do is not buy his jersey, sneakers and whatever else he comes up with. The kid is a great talent but his arrogance is getting a bit much to endure.

NBA Tips Off

So with the NBA tip off starting tonight at the TD Garden, I could not be more excited. Not only because of the matchup:

O yeah LeBron James went to the Miami Heat instead of the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the match-up between the 2 big three’s. The return of basketball has tremendous timing. I feel as though it heightens the atmosphere of the Fall season. I mean if you can’t find anything to watch on TV then your just not flipping through the correct channels. I am so pumped to be going to the game tonight and hope all of you enjoy it as well. Green 18.

Head Hunters

bren — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 11:45:29 +0000

With the NFL changing their current stance on players who “launch” themselves into another player, I think it is a good time to talk about the topic. The nature of Football is very violent as we can all see every Sunday. I think what the NFL is doing is good because to many players are getting seriously hurt with this new found way of tackling. The problem still remains that players will want to establish themselves as big time hitters so other players will hesitate when catching a ball. I think that the game will not change until the mentality of the game changes. The coaches and players all reference this as being a war many times in press conference interviews. That is the problem, it is thought of as a war between men. In reality it is just a game folks. Telling someone the proper way to do things and not having them mertalize the other player in the process. I think the same goal of playing the game can be accomplished with a different attitude and that is the only time when these hits will stop.

Celtics Return

bren — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 03:13:09 +0000

Its good to see the Celtics back in the Garden. It has been a long summer for the Red Sox fans who had to endure a really tough season. The kids almost pulled it off but almost does not count. So onto the next sports and I am happy that Basketball season has returned for the 2010-11 season. Although the Celtics look like a little make shift team with all their free agent pick ups, I think they have added great team chemistry and that should be fun to watch. The Patriots are looking as though they can be hit or miss some weeks but we all know they will bounce back also. Here’s to the basketball season returning and giving us a little something extra to focus on in case those Pats don’t pan out so well.
