In brief, my picks for today's conference championship games....
LSU over Tennessee..I still think LSU is a bit overrated, but they're still better than Tennessee.
I don't think much of LSU's QB, but their D has some serious play makers, and they're more used to playing the big game and getting up for it.
VT over BC....BC just hasn't been playing all that well lately.
Missouri over Oklahoma....Missou is playing well, and I usually like the team who lost the previous game in a rematch.
In other games, I like USC to hammer UCLA by about 20. It will be close for at least a half, but then USC will step it up. IMO, USC would be one of those teams to most benefit from a playoff, as they're getting healthy, but money talks, and as long as it does, there will be NO playoff in college football. Its crazy, because I believe the money to be made with a college football playoff with about 16 teams would be unbelievable, but thats what happens when you've got the old guard running the show.
In other news.........
Santana possibly to the Yankees? Yankees, Red Sox, who cares. Rich getting richer, and baseball becoming ever more irrelevant to the real fan. The owners just don't get it. With the casual fan unable to enjoy baseball, and unable to relate to the crazy money tossed around, as well as the real chance that a lower payroll team can win the WS, their children also lose interest. I think that is just one of the many reasons why less and less kids are playing baseball, and choosing basketball as well.

The day the NFC "gods" collide!!
Are you ready for some football!!
Packers and the Cowboys battle for supremacy of the NFC, and most likely homefield advantage through the playoffs. Should be a high scoring game, with Favre battling against the frequently labeled new Favre piloting the 'boys.
Honestly, who really cares, as the Pats have been toying with everyone and still winning by 700 pts a game. Sure, the Iggles game was close, but weren't the Patriots playing 7 v. 11?
My pick, Cowboys 31 Packers 17. Cowboys "d" will be jacked, and Favre will look like the Favre of the past few years and give a couple to the Dallas defensive backs.
Sean Taylor
What else is there to say, other than whats been said? My question is, if you know people are out to get you, why would you even live in the same STATE as your enemies? How many times did we have to read of an African American, (I hate that term. I don't refer to myself as "European American". At least pick a country in the continent. Ethiopian American, Sudanese American, Liberian American, something for crying out loud.) getting robbed while back in their old stomping grounds. Wasn't it just a matter of time before this ended very, very, badly? Not that I would know how it is to make that kind of coin, but I would think there would be some very jealous people just waiting for a handout, and when they don't get it, you would. As much as Sean seemed like a tool his first couple of years, he certainly didn't deserve this.
Boston
The sports gods have certainly taken root in Beantown haven't they. First you've got the Patriots, who've been dominant over that past several years, they the Red Sox, who not only know how to spend their many millions wisely, but also appeared to have developed a bit of a farm system too. But now you've got the Celtics, who, if they don't break a hip before June, appear to be the class of the Eastern Conference, if not the whole NBA. Everything seems to be going great for the fans up there. What's next? Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin deal to the Bruins for some chowder and a couple of lobsters? This has to be every sports fans dream, where every team you root for is a serious contender for the championship. Yes, I am jealous.
Speaking of the Red Sox, what is this that they might acquire the best starting pitcher the past few years for a couple of minor leaguers and Coco Crisp? What the hell is going on here. I guess you bitch and complain about all the bad luck you've suffered via sports all these decades, and the sports deities reward you with Tom Brady, Kevin Garnett, and Johan Santana. Frickin' sweet!
