Of course I speak with emotion, emotion is a good thing, and often times it's a great thing, but i also think controlled emotions lead to a better balanced life, and this blog is dedicated strictly toward logic. I will logically argue each and every point without any emotion involved, now take a deep breath and let it go, just let it go boo....wooo saaaa. Now without further ado, let me show you why I'm so great at Sudoku!!!
The reality of it is, is that the NFL MVP requires that you put up monster numbers, while your team has success. Which is why QB's mostly win the award and even though Adrian Peterson is having a monster season, as long as his team is not in the playoffs he will be considered an underdog to win. Now with all that being said, last year the Colts were the worse team in football and this year they are 9-4 and in the playoffs, they are 7-1 in their last 8 games. The only significant difference on their team from last year to this year, is their QB Andrew Luck. Take the names away and say it out loud, ' 2-14 last year, 9-4 this year' that's real valuable if you ask me, but I'm only speaking with logic.
Speaking of Adrian Peterson he may very well break the NFL rushing record less than a year from having his torn ACL repaired (take heed Derrick Rose fans), he may not win the NFL MVP, but he's gotta be an easy choice for Comeback Player of the Year, right? Here's how I would vote for this award. I would take the player he was, before being injured, retired, or on some sabbatical, then I would factor in what he was at his lowest point during his off time, and finally I would factor the player he was, before he was out, versus the player he is now. Last year Peterson had just under a 1,000 yards in just under 12 games before he got hurt, he came back and has put up monster numbers, the thing of it is, is that he has done it faster than what anyone else has done it before, clearly remarkable!!! Now let's factor in his closes competitor, Peyton Manning. His stats from last year were 0's in 0 games played, why cause he had a disassembled neck. No one was even sure if he would ever play again and now he's an MVP front runner. You could argue that Peterson is having the better year but you cant argue that he had to come back from more than Peyton did. Say it out loud, 'torn ACL versus a broken neck'... Wooooo saaaa
The baseball hall of fame announcements are coming soon, Bonds, Sosa, Clemons, McGwire are all up. If I had a vote it would be Bonds and Clemons in, Sosa and McGwire out. If they never used steroids Bonds and Clemons were hall of famers, the same cannot be said for Sosa and McGwire. Look I get that using steroids is cheating, but if baseball allowed and make no mistake they did, I cannot punish those that did it. On the other hand if it gave them an unfair advantage, I can't reward them for it either, if you look at Sosa's and Mac's numbers, you can clearly see the spike in their stats. Basically I'm omitting the steroid years. Now I definitely would make Clemons and Bonds wait 5 years before voting for them, cause they knew that what they were doing were no-no's. the bigger question is what to do with Manny and A-rod when they become hall eligible, harder to determine when they started.
Kobe Bryant keeps shooting and shooting and the Lakers keep losing and losing, and I love it. Last night they gave up 41 points in the 1st quarter, say it out loud 'the Lakers will be better defensively once our 39 year old point guard who never played good defense returns' I said say it out loud mutha fucka!!! Now Laker fans I will allow emotion, go cry in your pillow.
Vegas Picks
Giants +1.5 over Atlanta
Remember a few weeks ago when the Giants went into San Francisco, and the Niners were talking about how this was a revenge game and then the Giants proceeded to kick the shit out of them, I remember too. The Falcons also lost to the Giants in the playoffs last year and now they're saying the same shit the Niners were saying. Look until Atlanta stops calling their QB Matty Ice, I will not take them seriously, it's something about white guys having Ice in their names that sounds inherently fraudulent. I would take Eli's 'cheese cake' Manning over Matty Ice anytime, because Cheese cake is awesome and Matty Ice is not
Giants 27-Atlanta 13
Denver-3 Over Baltimore
No one is talking about it, but Baltimore is slowly turning into a shitty team right before our very eyes. The Bengals will catch them for the division and the Steelers will overtake them for the wildcard spot. Their defense is mediocre these days which means they have to win with Flacco. Remember last year, when Eli said that he felt like he was an elite QB and everyone laughed and all he did was promptly lead his team to another Super Bowl victory. Well this year Flacco said the same thing and now we're laughing even harder.
Denver 24 - Ravens 16
San Francisco + 6 over New England
San Fran is the antithesis of the Patriots, now I'm not sure what antithesis means, but I am sure it fits the description of comparing these 2 teams. In my keen eye of watching sports, I know that killer, physical defenses travels well, which is why I picked Notre Dame to beat Oklahoma and USC on the road and give them a very good chance of beating 'Bama. The 49ers are a team that New England has yet to face except for maybe the Seahawks and they loss that one. Plus the Kapernick media train needs a good little kick, what better way to jump start it, than against pretty boy Brady and the Patriots. Here's a misleading stat the Patriots are like 20-0 at home in December, it's misleading because a lot of those games are played against their shitty division opponents, right Dolphins, Bills and Jets. Awww fuck it, my emotion has gotten the best of me
Niners 23- Pats 20
Logic 9 paragraphs - Emotions 1
Jets +1.5 over Tennessee
The Jets are not very good, but they are very good at beating bad teams. The Titans are not a good team. The Jets will not actually win the game, what they will do is allow the Titans to out bad them. Now I would once again, as I am known to do, highly suggest you don't watch this game. It'll make you hate football, at around 10 pm central time, check the score and hear Jon Gruden yell, "somebody please make a frickin' play" (he may actually yell fuck instead of frickin). Anyways...
Jets 20 Titans 16 turnovers and stupid plays 17
Dueces!!!
