Giants mania

Not a good day yesterday if your a Dallas fan. If your a Giants fan your probably walking around with your head held high today.

With a big win over the Cowboys yesterday, the New York football Giants improve their record to 7-1. While the Cowboys backstep to a tie for fourth place in their division with a 5-4 record.

It seemed that the pace of the game was dictated by the Giants throughout all four quarters. With the running game of the Giants picking apart and trudging through the Cowboys defense, as well as Eli Manning throwing for 3 touchdowns and only 1 interception.

It was a memorable day for Giants wideout Steve Smith as well, who recorded his first TD catch of his career on a slant late in the first quarter.

But primarily, the Giants running game proved to be too much for the Dallas defense, with a combined 200 rushing yards in the game, most of which were accounted for by Brandon Jacobs who finished the game on 17 carries and 117 yards and a touchdown.

At this point in the season, there is only one team left with an unblemished record so far, the Tennessee Titans. Any NFL fan or journalist would know just by watching the games, that the Giants are a team that needs to be accounted for, and they are definitely for real.

Rain out

It does suck that the World Series has been put on hold for a little bit but at least no one can say that the weather could have decided one of the games. I do see how people could have thought that if the score of the game had not been tied that the game may have went on but that thought is pretty absurd. I think it would have had to end no matter what. If you were watching the game you would have saw the conditions of the field and the amount of rain fall that was occuring. MLB made the right choice on postponing the game.

Red Sox Rays

I am in awe about how the Red Sox have tied the ALCS series, after being down 3-1. I am a die hard Yankee fan but can't seem to feel a little jealous about these recent happenings. Not only did my team miss the playoffs altogether, but the Red Sox, after losing Manny Ramirez, are still being the powerhouses of the past few years. They didn't even make out on the deal in the long run. They got Jason Bay but he is no Manny. It's sad that the Yanks pick up a few key role players, such as Xavier Nady and Pudge Rodriguez, and still miss the playoffs. What we need to do is pick up C.C. Sabathia in the offseason and get rid of some of our older players. The reason why the Rays are so good this year is that they allowed their young players a chance to grow into their own and are it is paying dividends now. But back to the ALCS. If the Red Sox do pull this off, as much as I hate to say it, it will be something for the records, and be a very memorable day in sporst history.

Pacman

O.k. Maybe this may sound a little harsh, but why has the spotlight been shining on Adam "Pacman" Jones so much lately. He's known more for being arrested and getting into fights at night clubs, than he is for his play on the football field. Come on, this guy has more arrests than he does interceptions since he's came to the NFL. I just think with all the controversy surrounding this guy, he isn't that important to a team than say, Terrell Owens, or somebody who without being in the game, the team noticibly suffers. This is not the case with Pacman Jones and I think if he was to get penalized by the league for his recent, "altercation at a night club", the team shouldn't worry much about it and maybe pick up a veteran free agent or give somebody else a shot at cornerback. Theres plenty of talent in younger players that hasn't even been tapped into. Overall, I think the cons outweigh the pros in this one.

Glad to not be a Mets fan.

Your 31/2 games up in the Wild Card race with about 20 games left to go. Johan Santana is pitching fabulously, pitching in between little rest, definitely giving a valiant effort to just throw it all away losing 7 of their final 11 games. Hey, maybe Mets fans know a little of what it feels like to be a Yankee fan this year.

Plaxico Burress

Ok. So Plaxico has been known to be a little rough around the edges most of his career, with repeated team violations, and other mishaps. But the Giants decision to suspend him for 2 weeks is probably the worst move I think the organization could have made. To me, the first few games have been a fluke, the Giants are truly not this good, nor do I believe they will keep this winning streak going for the rest of the season. This is a sure fire way to just add a L to their standings. Without Plaxico they just do not have any deep ball threats or consistent players that they can rely on to catch touchdowns and put up big receiving numbers. Make no mistake about it, Ely will have his share of troubles in the upcoming Seahawks game. Maybe next time they will learn to just let Burress do what he chooses and leave him on the field. I mean, its not like he did something truly worth suspension. Substance abuse, good reason. In trouble with the law, good reason. Missing practice for family issues, not a good reason. Enough said.

Tom Brady

It's too bad that such an icon went down with a season ending injury. Of course it's a big blow to the Patriots organization, and the way in which he got the injury could create some speculation. Some players may think it was a dirty play or it was an intentional hit put out on the 3 time superbowl mvp, but if the team hopes to finish the rest of this season out above .500 and make the playoffs they're going to have to look passed what happened and start establishing the entire system around the new quarterback, Matt Cassel. Brady will be back next season, and I'm sure his knee may even be stronger with the type of rehab these players go through today, but the real focus shouldn't be on the future it should be on the present. There question should be, "How can we come out next week and play Patriot football, and leave with a W". No use crying over spilt milk.

Chiefs

It is definitely rebuilding phase for Kansis City, as could be seen in the first two season games. Yesterday's dump to the not-so-impressive Oakland Raiders just goes to drive home my point. Actually, the Oakland Raiders did have one bright spot, this years Adrian Peterson, Darren McFadden. I've been reading some other people's blogs on the Chiefs and how they are no longer fans. That just makes me mad. You we're never a fan to begin with. What you were, was a frontrunner. Red, and yellow need to start putting in the youngin's and give them a chance to play into their potential. This season is done, but five years down the road, I smell the sweet aroma of CHAMPIONSHIP!
