"We are not having fun"

I however, am ECSTATIC!! After all the hoopla surrounding the off season acquisitions of Bosh and James, and the resigning of Wade, just about every person on the planet had all but anointed the Heat champions of 2011 and beyond. The next dynasty. They'll win 70 games for sure.

We are now just about 2 months into the season and after a loss the the Mavs last night the Heat are a mere one, yes ONE game over .500 at 9-8. If they keep up this pace for the rest of the season they'll struggle to win 41 which I find absolutely amazing, as well as immensely gratifying. They are not playing as a team, but yet 3 individual stars. Unless they can learn to play together, and fast, I'm not sure if they are going to be able to turn this thing around.

As a Knick fan, I love to see the Heat struggle; period! But add in the hype, and the "talent", and the predictions, and the praise, and the mastermind, and the FAILURE, and I'm one happy ass camper!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving = Family + Food + Football, but if there is one thing that I'll always be missing it's John Madden commentating the game and providing Thanksgiving food to the players. And who could ever forget Turducken?!

Lock It Up

My lock of the week is Cleveland over Carolina. The Panthers have three weak quarterbacks to choose from, as well as two hurt running backs or an unproven one. The Browns have surprisingly found both a quarterback and a running back that they can rely on and that stability should be enough to get past the lowly Panthers.

Stay away from the Cowboys vs Saints matchup. It's on Thanksgiving day so you never know who is more prepared, and the Cowboys seem to have a spark with their new coach. The Saints really should win the game and they probably will.

It's a Beutiful Thing

If you drafted Kolb in the third round in your fantasy football leauge and someone picked Vick up off of waivers, at least this will make you smile -

Lock It Up

My lock of the week is New England over Indianapolis. Tom Brady is pumped up, and that loss to the Browns seems to have ignited a fire in him and the rest of the team. At the same time, injuries have been beyond nagging to the Colts and I just can't see them winning at Gillete Stadium.

Stay away from the Eagles vs Giants, everyone wants to crown Mike Vick as the MVP, but the Giants will be mad this week and looking to make up for last weeks terrible performance.

Flawless Thoughts

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the Jets have not sold all of their seats at the new stadium this year. The funny thing is, the slogan they're using is from a Seinfeld episode where an old man is doing weight training with Jerry Seinfeld and his catchphrase is - "It's go time". Every time I hear it or read it in a Jets advertisement, I think of an old man who tried to lift too much and injured his back(like in the episode), kind of like the Jets situation with the extra seats.

The Giants looked horrible against the Cowboys last week. They couldn't even keep the lights on at Giants Stadium! This seems like the same character that the Giants have had for ten years - four weeks in a row they look like the best team in the league and then they're out of gas. Maybe that's a good thing since they've been to two Super Bowls in that ten years!

The Atlantic Division of the NHL is a little like the NFC East in the NFL, you know at least two of the teams are going to be in the playoffs if not three. Surprisingly though the Devils are not looking like one of them, even with the controversial signing of Kovalchuk. For a team that is trigger-happy with firing coaches, it won't be long if they keep losing.

As I was watching Monday Night Football this week, I enjoyed the absence of Tony Kornheiser and Dennis Miller so much. It turns out that Gruden is good at this, but will he leave for coaching? No commentating is worse than Joe Buck's. He says the most annoying things, and his partner isn't much better.

Perhaps nothing is worse than no commentating at all though, this happens for a lot of sports fans every Thursday night beginning in week 10 of the NFL season. It's not at all surprising that the owner of the Knicks and Rangers is involved as those teams have been holding back on their fans just as much as Cablevision has been holding back Thursday Night Football. This is exactly the type of thing that creates pirates, if that's what we call them. People who will be stopped at nothing to get what they want, even if that means illegally downloading/streaming(or stealing, for folks older than twenty-five). Yes now with the new social networking styled public streaming websites like justin.tv, you can find mostly any live televised event and watch it for free. Lately live televised sporting events have been used as battle grounds for networks and cable companies waiting to see who will crack first, but as they always do - people have found a way.
