IS THIS THE END?

As some of you may know by now, point guard Allen Iverson announced his retirement last week. Iverson was 1st round draft pick in 1996, and drafted by the Philadephia 76er's. Iverson spent 10 years with the 76er's,I really hated the fact that they traded him to the Denver Nuggets. I am sure the strategy was to win a championship ring with the Denver Nuggets, but that did not happen. Iverson lasted only two years in Denver, later signed with Detroit Pistons for a season, and then to the Memphis Grizzlies. There was talk of possibly playing with the New York Knicks, but thats all it was, just talk. The Philadelphia 76er's may not be the Lakers but I would have preferred he stay there and retire there. I dont think he is too thrilled with the way his career is ending: "I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn't help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case" Iverson stated in his retirement announcement. Iverson went on about spending time with his family, but i think the real issue is the constant moving, and he not being happy where he is... Iverson also stated "I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level" This is a cry for help... someone other than the Memphis Grizzlies sign me, or I'm out... Iverson did, but does not want to retire. There is talk that the Philadelphia 76er's are looking into resigning AI to replace the injured point guard, Lou Williams.
Now if you are a sports fan... we just seen an act of "let me out of here" from Kansas City Chiefs former running back Larry Johnson, who struck up a turmoil within the camp regarding gays... The 3-8 Kansas City Chiefs released him and the 8-3 Cincinnati Bengals signed him. Johnson knew what he was doing and so does Allen Iverson. Iverson will be playing again as soon as the team he wants, picks him up. This is NOT the end for Allen Iverson.

WEEK 11'S SUPRISE SUPRISE

I thought I had some upsets in the works, but it turns out that by the end of the night I was upset! How bout I start with some positive stuff! Philly 24 - Chicago 20, New England 31-New York Jets 14, New York Giants 34-Atlanta 21, Minnesota 35-Seattle 9. As for the Baltimore, Indy game, Indy 17-Bal 15... I am a Raven fan.
Did you see T.O!!! YES! YES! YES! The Buffalo Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 18-15, but I loved the game! T.O. had 1 touchdown, 9 receptions and 197 yards which I think was more than what the Jaguars had as a team!!! Jaguars QB, David Garrard got the points where it was needed with a 2point conversion on a QB keep.
A round of applause goes to San Francisco's WR, Michael Crabtree for his 1st touchdown today. I actually had them listed to upset Greenbay... what was I thinking? GB 30-24 over San Fran.
ARI 21 StL 13... I also picked the StL Rams to beat Arizona Cards after last weeks performance against the NO Saints. Kurt Warner came in and was 15 of 19 passing, he got the win before receiving a blow to the head and exiting the field before halftime. Steven Jackson once again 100 plus running game today, but he needs help if they want to win... and Bulgers fumbles really dont help.
New Orleans Saints cleaned up on Tampa Bay. San Diego beat up on the Denver Broncos 32-3(i thought that would have been a close game). I just knew that the Washington Redskins would have a victory today! QB, Jason Campbell was 24/37 with 256 yards... Tony Romo was 15/27 with 158 yards and 1 touchdown... Cowboys, Marion Barber had 20 carries and 99 yards. Cowboys came out on top 7-6 over the Redskins.
LA Raiders came back from a 17-10 deficit... i guess they deserved to win, QB, J. Russell has been benched and QB Gradgowski ended his performance passing 17/34, 183 yds with 1 touchdown. Raider beat the Bengals 20-17.
Kansas City won in overtime 27-24. Pittsburgh had them in the 2nd quarter but let them back in, in the 3rd. QB, Ben had 3 td's, Matt Cassel had 2 td's. Ben was 32/42 passing and Matt was 15/30. Ben passing yds was 398, Matt had 248... so what did it, because Hines Ward rushed for 128 yds with 1 td??? It came down to mistakes... Ben had 2 interceptions and Matt had none... go figure. Ben did leave the game in overtime with an injury that may be "concussion oriented".
As for Monday Night Football I got Tennessee Titans over Houston Texans.

ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE!

StL Rams, RB, Steven Jacksons rams away with another 100 yards plus running game, but the Rams still falls behind. They played a good game and could have upset the New Orleans Saints but they didnt and almost doesn't cut it! They were tied 14-14 at the half and when the game resumed, Rams kicked off and Saints, Courtney Roby ran the ball back for what seemed to be 100 yards, but was actually 97 yards (LOL)!!! Steven Jackson put in work every game but it is never enough... SJ39 rushed for 131 yards against the Saints with 26 carries, totaling 915 yards for the season, which ranks him #3 in the NFL. The Rams finished, losing to the 8-0 Saints 23-28. The Rams picked up WR, Jordan Kent in replace of injured receiver, Keenan Burton. The StL Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals 11/22.

BILLS, BILLS, BILLS

Ok, now in previous news I have reported that the Buffalo Bills overall strategy was not working!!! Well, Well, Well.... what do you know... Lets recap quickly, they brought in Terrell Owens, got rid of some offensive linemen... Trent went down for a minute... Question: and what do they end up with??? Answer: a record of 3-6.
Bills owner Ralph Wilson just fired coach, Dick Juaron (last week)!!!! Then announced that nobody is safe! This man wants to win ball games!!! Well, i was thinking and was like, somebody better tell him he needs an offensive line that can block and somebody that can throw to T.O. No sooner than those thoughts flew in my head, news went out that the Bills signed QB, Brian Brohm from Green Bay's practice squad! I am proud to say that defensive coordinator, Perry Fewell is the interim coach for the season and a candidate for next year (let's see what moves he make)!!! Let's see what bills Mr. Wilson is willing to pay to win!

WHAT IN THE "SAM" HELL IS GOING ON?

Rumor has it that former Cubs, Sammy Sosa is suffering from the same skin disease that Michael Jackson had, vitiligo... Well that rumor has been reported to be false. A close friend has stated that Sammy is rejuvenating his skin, a cleansing process that most women undergo. WTH!!!

...AND THE RESULTS ARE IN

It looks like owner, Bud Adams took my advice and forced coach, Jeff Fisher of the Tennessee Titans to start the 2008, #3 pick, QB, Vince Young! The Titans won their 1st game of the season against QB, David Garrard and the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-13. Vince Young was 15 of 18 passing. He also did a little running for a total of 32 yards. I understood the purpose of them benching Young in 2008 but I think they left Kerry Collins in the game way too long. Point proven
The Baltimore Ravens literally smashed the Denver Broncos and their perfect record, ending the game with a 30-7 score. It all started with Jarret Johnson sacking Kyle Orten. The Ravens held the Broncos to 200 yards and the Broncos allowed the Ravens to be the 1st team this year to rush for more than 100 yards. Baltimore will face the Bengals next week, I got my money on the Ravens
I love Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" but I will take Philly over NY any day, whether it is football, baseball, or basketball, you name it! The Philadelphia Eagles served the Giants with an excellent win, 40-17. I was a little concerned that Philly might hit some rough patches with Brian Westbrook sitting out due to a concussion he suffered during the Washington Redskins game. The highlight of the game, for me was when Donovan McNabb threw to St. Louis native, Jeremy Maclin for a touchdown and a first half 30-7 lead.
So far the Saints are still perfect... although the Saints had four turnovers, they still managed to pull out a great victory 35-27, over the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons gave all they had, but I dont think they had a chance. Atl's, QB, Matt Ryan was picked off 3 times. Saints safety, Darren Sharper received one of those picks, making it his 7th pick this season.
