Let’s just say I don’t see Manning throwing one of those vintage, big moment, crippling interceptions. He was a good player, but being a great player does not come right away.Brady and Ben Roethlisberger were the exceptions, but quarterbacks often get better as they get older. McClain decided to leave Alabama after his junior year, which both he and Coach Nick Saban agreed would be a smart move given his talent and skill on defense. I even believe they could win a Super Bowl in the next couple of seasons.. looked over at me and said, ?That kid is unconscious.? And he?s right. He seems like a great guy.”Source: Tampa Tribune This article is also featured on GridironFans .

Holster your six-shooters.Put down your torches.This is just an observation.Some will say that it’s a mountain made out of a molehill. For those folks, I say to just look at the track record.The nine-game winning streak that catapulted the Utah Jazz back into the thick of things was a treat to watch. Was.They passed the ball They shared the glory They played some defense They made some plays. Past tense.They won some games.Won.

In the playoffs, teams can’t decide to play defense all the time. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning have top billing in what could become an offensive slugfest. They have been classified as not athletic, not aggressive, and not deep enough to make a tournament run.Despite being in the top 10 all year in a season that lacks a truly dominant team, it appears there is little confidence or expectation the Blue Devils will be more than a Sweet 16 team this year.Again, Duke’s recent late-season and tournament failures seem to be the primary reason for this mindset.

According to ProWrestling , a number of wrestling stars were backstage at the TNA Impact tapings last night.According to the report, Awesome Kong was backstage. So, all the Tennessee and SEC vitriol about Kiffin’s ethics are directed to a guy they hate who left for a better job that came out of nowhere.  End of story!It is important to note that U.S.C. If this had happened in, let’s say, Latin countries, then I think he would have been applauded. The mets starting rotation is entering the season with a lot of question marks.  Those question marks being Oliver Perez, John Maine, and Mike Pelfrey.  Can Maine and Perez stay healthy the whole season?  Will Pelfrey return to his 2008 form?A healthy John Maine is hard to remember.  John Maine’s season in 2008 was cut short in late August.  His era before his last blowout start in 2008 was 3.82.  John Maine was only able to start 15 games last year after having his season cut short in June and tried to make a few starts in September.  2009 is a season that Maine, the mets, and the rest of the fans want to forget.  Maine says he feels great right now and he’s ready to go.  If Maine can stay healthy for the whole season this would be a huge plus for the Mets.  Maine, as the number 3 starter this year, should be able to put up numbers similar to 2007 and 2008 before his injury.  A 3.90 era is not out of the question.Mike Pelfrey finally lived up to expectations in 2008.  Pelfrey decided to start the season in June.  In April and May Pelfrey made 10 starts with a 5.00 era.  From June through September in 22 starts Pelfrey was an animal unleashed putting together a 3.23 era to lower his season era to 3.72.  In 2009 Pelfrey went back to his minor league/5th starter form.  From the beggining of the season, it looked like Pelfrey was just going downhill start after start.  In 2010 Pelfrey has to prove that he belongs.  He will be the number 2 starter again and has to follow Santana in the rotation.  While we are not expecting Santana numbers from Big Pelf, he need to keep his era in the high 3’s low 4’s.  If he can pitch anything like he did in 2008, a Santana-Pelfrey 1-2 punch with be one of the tops in the National League.Now one to Dr.Jekyl, Mr.Hyde also known as Oliver Perez.  In 2007, Perez pitched like a quality number 2 starter.
