I have been busy lately and not saw much about the new steroid “scandal”. I will take a guess though. The media is up in arms about big names, apparently A-Rod being one, having tested positive for a performance enhancer. I frankly do not care what any of the players did 10 years ago. Most of all I don’t care about baseball. It is a nostalgia thing for people who grew up watching this ancient sport including the 45- 60 year old writers and talking heads on ESPN. Maybe it is just a southern thing for me but football has always been so far above any other sport that any outrage I might have for cheaters in baseball is overcome by my apathy for it. MJ is my favorite athlete ever but the NBA was still behind football for me in that era.

Baseball is still popular I know but no even on the same planet as college football or the NFL. Nor will it get any better. It is a slow sport run by people who are out of touch with current times. It could be improved but it won’t be as long as ancient owners pat each other on the back, Bud Selig is in “charge”, and new age business people like Mark Cuban are blocked from entry into their club.

The question that was asked before and after the Super Bowl was about how worthy Kurt Warner is for the Hall of Fame. I think he is fully deserving. He played in 3 Super Bowls, winning once and losing twice. The two losses came with under a minute left in the game so his defense let him down in both losses. He did all he could do in this past Super Bowl and if the Cardinal defense could have actually sacked Big Ben  just twice on the last drive, Warner is a 2 time winner in the big game.

Pittsburgh can break the tie with the 49ers and Cowboys if they can knock off the Cardinals in Super Bowl 43. The way it looks it may be a while before the Cowboys or 49ers get back there but Pittsburgh are regular contenders. Mike Tomlin has done a great job after taking over for a very successful coach in Bill Cower. Big Ben has been a great leader for his team even though he rarely gets much credit. Hopefully Hines Ward can make it back for the big game in which he won the MVP a couple years back.

1.  Their head coach was not afraid to jerk the starting job from the highly paid young QB
2. Kurt Warner never gave up on himself even after some bad seasons.
3. Larry Fitzgerald being drafted. He will be the best Cardinal ever (not saying much but I mean for the next hundred years too.)
4. Edge got rest during the season and had something to prove.
5. Jake Delhome

I like the Cardinals and their guys but I think this may be the week that Warner gets pressured. The Eagles have the  secondary to at least slow Fitzgerald and company also. But I would not put any money on McNabb either in a big game.

 If you see pac man Jones in the next few hours (police officers are more likely than not), please advise him to never do another interview again. He is making me believe he has the mind of a third grader. And I mean a really dumb third grader who should be in the sixth grade but keeps failing. Apparently his lawyer is dumber than him since he allowed him to do a live TV interview.

Here we go again with the talking heads calling a recent “fill in the blank”, the greatest ever. Now Tim Tebow is the greatest college football player of all time. He may even be in the top few but we are talking about thousands of players over time. Memo to ESPN: WE ENJOY WATCHING GREAT PLAYERS AND GAMES. YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL US WE ARE SEEING THE BEST OF ALL TIME FOR US TO ENJOY IT.

Here is a quick list off the top of my head that are better than Tebow. Fell free to add more.  Apparently guys on TV don’t have a long memory … Again I am a Tebow fan. I just despise the media sometimes.

1. Jim Brown
2. Hershel Walker
3. Reggie Bush
4.  Tim Brown
5. Barry Sanders
6. Bo Jackson

 I like Tim Tebow as a player and as a good guy but without Percy Harvin playing in the “title” game OU would have been much closer in the end. The defense was the difference overall but with out Harvin’s big plays I think this thing could have went to overtime. Stopping OU on the one yard line twice was huge! The defence deserved the MVP really but FOX and all the mainstream media are so focused on Tebow they can’t stop talking about him. He deserves the spotlight for sure but to go overboard is harmful to Tebow’s image if it keeps up.

I still don’t know who the best team in the country is since their is no playoffs. Utah looked great but played a Bama team with no reason to win except pride (which they showed up without). If Utah fans want to believe they are national champs that is fine with me and just as legitamate as the BCS or the AP poll.

No one can blame these two for bouncing from Athens to make some real money. Moreno had the most to lose by coming back and possibly getting hurt. Stafford may have moved up some spots had he came back but nothing is certain in life. They did what they thought was best so I hope it works out for them. For anyone who thinks they are being selfish by leaving college early, just look at how many #24 jerseys were sold in the last 2 years. That $ figure is huge but Moreno did not get one penny. I know he got a free education but when you are a rock star like him you should be able to capitalize monetarily as well.
