Random Sports thought vol. XVII

If Ben Rothlisberger wins his 3rd superbowl to some he will be considered the best QB in the game today. That would be wrong. I think Big Ben is a stud and super clutch but I can't put him ahead of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning until he has to carry the football team. Thats just the reality of it. I say this all the time and I will say it again when you are deciding the best of the best you have to nitpick the nuances and details of the of the player and the game in which they are playing and to say Ben is the best cause he has 3 superbowl rings is just too blanket of a statement. The Steelers has a great defense and a solid running game and that's not a knock on Ben it's a reality. I thought that Peyton was better than Brady cause the Colts relied on him way more than the Patriots relied on Brady but then the Pats got Randy Moss and Wes Welker and he put up historic numbers. So maybe at some point Ben will be summoned to carry his team and he will ascend to the top QB mantle but until that point comes he can keep racking up superbowl rings and that's all not bad. By the way here are my top 5. Brady, Manning, Rothlisberger, Brees, Rodgers.

Superbowl XLV will be a high scoring game. Playing in a dome will help the Packers a lot more than the Steelers as it always does with the faster team. Aaron Rodgers and Big Ben will make plays throughout the game and the key will be whether or not the Steelers can control the game with there running attack. This super bowl will go down as one of the all time greats and I picked the Steelers to win it all in the middle of this season and I see no reason to change that now Steelers 28-27.

Barring injury which is highly possible with this team. The Boston Celtics are going to win the NBA championship rather easily this year. If you really think about it, it makes sense that a team like the Celts win more than one championship. The best all star game in sports is the NBA all star game and it's just 2 weeks away and there's a chance that the 21pt, 15 reb averaging Kevin Love won't make it unless he' goes in as the replacement for Yao Ming. Look Love has stupid numbers and I llike his game but his team is 11-37 which is awful so lets give the nod to LaMarcus Aldridge who has carried an injury riddled Blazers team into playoff contention.

The Lakers are struggling they need to run there offense more thru Pau Gasol and less thru Kobe. Andrew Bynum should play more and Ron Artest should play less. The best thing they have going for them is Phil Jackson, the master of psychology has a way of figuring things out. He will have them ready for his final swan song and a 6 game loss to the Celts in the finals.

The MVP race is as follows

5. Chris Paul- New Orleans is just incredibly efficient with tis cat running the show

4. Kevin Durant-He's getting into a nice little scoring groove

3.LeBron James-The chosen one is starting to dominate all phases of the game

2.Dwight Howard -is putting up monster numbers and he's still the best defender in the league

1.Derrick Rose-Right now it's not even close, The Bulls has had there 2nd and 3rd best blayer on the floor together for a total of 9 games and yet the Bulls has the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference.

The 5 best players in the next 5 years

5.Blake Griffin

4.Derrick Rose

3.Kevin Durant

2.Dwight Howard

1.Lebron James

Pitchers report to training camp in less than 2 weeks, wtf...already!? Dwight Howard mocked Lebron James before his Magic faced the Heat and then LBJ dropped 51 on them and that is Jordanesque. Deion Sanders should be inducted into the pro football hof and in my books go down as the best cornerback of all time. Now that I think about it, the Bengals keeping Marv Lewis as there head coach says that the Bengals 2 playoff appearance in the last 8 years is more of an indictment on the front office than the coaching and that's a good thing. Aaron Rodgers will end up better than Brett Farve but he's not right now. Im going to the Superbowl and you are probably not ha ha!
