~Superbowl XLIII~

Cardinals-21
Steelers-13

Well the time has come it is Superbowl time. And this year let me be the first to say i am watching for the commercials. I am not a fan of the steelers i hope the cardinals dominate them like they have everybody in the playoffs. I think it would be really neat for another wild card team to win the superbowl for a second year in a row. I think it shows the spirit of the game is still there and its not all about underdogs and amazing teams. Its about who comes to play.

I was not happy with two of the hits made by the steelers in the baltimore game and I think that the cardinals are to tough for the Steelers and that they can take the hits and laugh. I hope Willis Mcghee has a speedy recovery. And i think they need to make stricter fines on reckless hits in the NFL. I have played football my whole life and certain hits are avoidable and unnessesary. The steelers have a reputation for get that last hit in and trying to hurt players.

On another note, because I can't just sit here and bash the Steelers, I think it will be a defensive battle that will see Kurt Warner coming out on top with experience and more weapons. I look for Fitzgerlad and Boldin to have BIG games and i predict Fitzgerald will have two tds and boldin one.

Either way its gonna be a great game won in the final drive.

~The Very Young Cincinnati Reds~

Like most Reds fans going into 2009 I am looking for a season of competitive post season baseball that will entertain me and put me on the edge of my seat. But in recent years there have been ups and downs during the season ending with watching other teams play for the ultimate prize.

The reds however have took an different approach since then end of last year and into this year. They have traded away the faces and names of the Reds high income plan from the Carl Linder era. Griffey and Dunn are gone, the two highest paid roster members and also very old members of the team Hatteburg, Friel, etc. This trend of signing young talent is going to lead to more small ball. Which i think the reds have needed for a while. The days of hit three homers and winning are over, as they have been for about 3-4 years now. You need to be playing small ball to win in October to advance to the post season. Teams have batting lineups that have no weaknesses. The homer run hitters are nice like Dunn, but when they aren't hitting they are striking out at record levels. Strikeouts are one way into the record books but not if you want a pennant. they also have beefed up and focused a lot on their bullpen during this offseason.

Look for a new type of baseball when you go to reds games this year i think it should be very exciting.

~AFC and NFC Championship Game~

Ravens: 20
Steelers: 17

Cardinals: 35
Eagles: 31


This post shows my predictions for the results of the NFC and AFC Championship. I will first talk about the AFC matchup between Conference rivals the Baltimore Ravens and that other team form Western Pennsylvania. Im sorry but im a bengals fan and Carson Palmer will have has revenge on the Steelers next year. But anyways back to the match up. I am going to take the Ravens in this battle of defenses. Not because I dislike the steelers. I think that Joe Flacco will handle the pressure of the Steelers defense, better then Ben Roethlisberger will handle the pressure of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis and their dominating defense. Joe Flacco is young but is on fire and with a balanced run attack will have at least two touchdown passes. I believe that Ed Reed will have 2 Interceptions and this will be more then enough to send the Ravens back to the superbowl.

The second matchup is harder to call in my opinion. But I am going to take the Cardinals over the Eagles in a high scoring shootout of veteran quarterbacks and runningbacks. I am also a fan of Larry fitzgerald (Wide receiver), Kurt Warner (Quarterback), and Edrine James. (Rb) And although I am not a Donovan Mcnabb fan but i think he is the only thing besides Brain Westbrook that keeps them in this game. But in the end I am predicting the Cardinals go to the Superbowl by 4.

Go Bengals ~Who Dey Forever~
