Baltimore is playing in a Football Championship Game Tonight (Bold = Wiki Links)

Yes, I'm sure you know we, the Baltimore Mariners (team name) already won the Arena Football championship (well the AIFA's title, not the league that they show on the NFL Network, lol). Now, we are playing in the CFL Grey Cup Championship tonight.....well, sort of.

A little sports history lesson for you. Before the city of Baltimore had the Ravens, we had the Stallions of the CFL. We were the first and only non-Canadian city to ever win a Grey Cup championship, but then the CFL decided that they didn't want to expand to the US anymore so they moved the Stallions back to Canada and they became the Montreal Alouettes. The city of Montreal didn't want to keep the records that the players made in BMore, just like Cleveland wanted all the records made by the Browns in their city without them transferring to BMore when the Browns became the Ravens.

So, I guess we're technically playing in the Grey Cup tonight but technically we're not... The question is, should you root for them? My answer: Would you root for the Colts if they were in the Super Bowl and the Ravens weren't? (BTW, that's a sarcastic question but if you answered yes, get out of my website, SMFH! LOL!)

HERE'S TO A RAVENS SUPER BOWL WIN ON FEBRUARY 6, 2011!

No Respect

The guys have no respect for their coach, he needs to find a better team to coach and they need a better team to coach them, the Heat are a better team than they are playing like and Spoelstra is a better coach than is being portrayed.

According to @LakeLewis, Jon Gruden is headed to the University of Miami football squad http://tinyurl.com/grudenmiami

Jon Gruden goes to "The U"?

Looks like Jon Gruden is going to "The U"....that is if you believe a random Tweeter who hosts Washington Redskins' players shows online and on HD Radio?? Wouldn't a source want to break news to someone who actually works in the market, like someone who works in Miami?


Gruden recently signed an extension to do Monday Night Football with ESPN, so you would think that if he was leaving or going anywhere ESPN would be the first to know, right?? Also, there are alot of opportunities that could open up in the NFL where he can make more money and play a GM/president type of role at the same time like Pete Carroll in Seattle, so if he were to go back coaching again, wouldn't he rather go to the spotlights of the NFL?

Well, The U has not denied any of the rumors, so we will see what happens, the Hurricanes aren't the only Miami football team or Miami sports team that needs a new coach.......

NFL Top 10 on Week 12 (before Sunday games have been played)

1. PATRIOTS- Offense has become stronger since Moss left.

2. FALCONS- Matt Ryan is playin' the best football right now that he has in his whole career

3. RAVENS- Tough game this week against the surprising Bucs, they better make sure their not in the headlines for all the wrong reasons!

4. STEELERS- Big Ben has come off his suspension firing on all cylinders, #1 rushing in the league

5. EAGLES- 2 words. MICHAEL VICK

6. PACKERS- Aaron Rodgers is playing like Favre did in his time there, tough game vs. ATL this weekend that could move them up in the rankings

7. JETS- Mark Sanchez has been throwing with efficiency and has the best defense in the league but haven't had any real good wins, very lucky team.

8. GIANTS- For the first time, the 2nd most talked about football team in New York

9. COLTS- Tough loss vs. Pats, but they've still played decent despite all their injuries

10. SAINTS- The defending Super Bowl Champs almost lost to the Cowboys???

5 Steps the Heat need to take now (in my opinion)

8-7

The notion that there is no reason to worry about the season yet according to Wade, LBJ and Bosh is crazy but the notion that the season is over for the Big 3 is also crazy. Although the Heat have an atrocious record, there is still time for the Heat to rebound.....that is if they start making some changes.

1. Get rid of Erik Spoelstra- He's a great coach but he doesn't have much experience being a head coach, doesn't know how to deal with ego's and has never played in the NBA (something that players value; that's one of the main reasons Cleveland brought in Byron Scott to ensure LBJ stays)

2. Bring in a Point Guard- The Heat have no one that can defend the likes of Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Derek Fisher etc. Carlos Arroyo is playing well offensively, but hasn't been able to rebound, steal, assist or defend like those other guys mentioned. I would trade Arroyo, Chalmers and some draft picks in exchange for a decent point guard that has potential and knows how to facilitate the ball like Jarrett Jack, Aaron Brooks, T.J. Ford etc.

3. Release Joel Anthony- He's a great shot-blocker, but a waste of money, get rid of him and use his roster spot more wisely. Even though, it'll cost alot of money, you have to take risks to get to the ultimate prize.

4. Start using the pick and roll with LBJ and Wade- The Heat are the weakest when both LBJ and Wade are on the court together and that's because the coaching staff hasn't found a way to implement both of them together on the offense. We were all talking before the season started on how hard it would be to defend them but that has been further from the truth, the shot selections of both individuals has been terrible and they don't know what to do when the other has the ball. I would start using some pick and roll schemes to get each player involved on the court.

5. Embrace the bad boy image- Look, I understand that you want to be America's team and thought that you would be beloved because of taking less money than the max to bring in more role players but EVERYONE hates you guys because of the media's overhype of LeBron, LeBron's move from Cleveland, and the fact that the 2 best players in the League besides Kobe broke tradition, but you know what guys, SO WHAT!? Everyone hatin' you should give you guys extra swagger to play with, not slopiness! Be the bad guy, if it's goin' to help you win a title!

Just a Thought....

It's amazing how much a year changes things....last year Tiger Woods was on top of the world (literally!) He had a #1 ranking in Golf, was destined to break Jack Nicklaus' record for most majors won, had a loving family and even had jokes admiring his dominance:

What do you call a bunch of white men chasing a black man on a golf course? The PGA Tour.

Now if you read a lot of sports blogs like I did (and still do), then you knew that these rumors had been flying around for a while but they were only speculation, Tiger was also already being covered by the blogs because the weekend before at a Stanford (his alma mater) football game he was boo'ed, and alot of bloggers were shocked (because you never boo Tiger Woods, duh.....well at least that was the mentality before the scandal.

1 year ago today, the mainstream media was not concerned with Tiger until the next day when the car accident news broke. Now today, Tiger Woods is slumping, doesn't look anywhere near breaking the records he was destined to break. His family is gone and now the jokes are on him, not about him. WOW, how a year can change you.

Beyonce Super Bowl Halftime Show?

So Hannah Storm of ESPN interviewed Beyonce to promote her Thanksgiving TV Special airing tonight on ABC, and in the interview (above ^^^) Storm asks Beyonce what a "Super Bowl winning moment of her career" would be; I don't think Beyonce understood the question (unless performing at the halftime show of the Super Bowl is really THAT valuable and memorable to music artists) but she said the it would be performing at halftime. Would the NFL consider her? There is no word yet on who's performing this year in Dallas but the Black Eyed Peas are the biggest rumor flying around right now. Beyonce would be a safe pick and a family-friendly pick that is actually popular in my opinion from the Super Bowl.

No offense to Rolling Stones fans or Bruce Springsteen fans but that's not gonna cut it for the biggest sports event of the year, not everyone who watches the big game is a 55-year old white male looking back on their "glory years" LOL.

NUMBER 1 ARTICLE ON KIDULT.COM!!

Check out my weekly column on Kidult.com called "MY TAKE" as part of my new daily blog on life in high school as a senior (which I update sporadically) HERE! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!

BTW, Great win by the RAVENS over the Panthers, according to my Ravens predictions I was right again! I only have 2 games wrong so far this season but the record still matches up!

Obama's Challengers

Yes, this is a sports blog but I wanna talk politics for a second. Right now, it looks like there could be big trouble for Obama if the economy doesn't get moving again. The Republicans have 4 potentials candidates that could beat the President.

1. Sarah Palin (believe it or not): Maybe this will change during the campaign season but ever since 2008 and the last campaign season it seems like Obama lacks the willpower to fight and that as James Carville said, he's no longer "balsy" (a Southern term basically saying he has no balls and doesn't stick to his guns). Palin could probably say whatever she wanted about him and he may not "refudiate" it, or if he does, he wouldn't be as aggressive in his fighting tactics.

2. Tim Pawlenty: He doesn't compromise much with Democrats much but appeals to Republicans and independents because of his right of center policies which appeal to this country which is still very conservative, and as Obama showed in 2008 all you need is independents and your base.

3. Scott Brown: Same as Tim Pawlenty but he actually does compromise with Democrats, once in a while but not often and still is riding off the steam of his 2009 special election win to replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate.

4. Marco Rubio: He appeals to the Spanish-speaking community who is still waiting for the Democrats to pass the DREAM Act (gives illegal immigrant teens/kids who were brought to the US illegally when they were younger without consent by parents citizenship) and has the speaking abilities of Obama with an ability of eloquence.

5. Gov. Christie: Despite continued denials, just see Scott Brown's response.

And that's not it.... People like NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg (who has compromised with both sides and stands with both Dems and Repubs on different issues), Joe Scarborough (who has gained political clout from his non-partisan rhetoric with Republican leanings on "Morning Joe" on MSNBC and is also rumored to be running for VP with Mike), Howard Dean (who believes the Prez isn't being Democratic enough) and Donald Trump (who is a pure conservative that is also popular from his NBC show, "The Apprentice") could all be in contention to run for office either as independents or during the Republican primaries.

Now Scarborough and Bloomberg have declined they are running, but Trump hasn't put it out of reach. Dean most likely wouldn't run because he wouldn't want to cause any division in the Democratic Party.

Considering at least 2 of the independents run, it could be a 4-way race in 2012. Those two would most likely be Bloomberg and Trump who have nothing to lose unlike Scarborough who has a television platform he probably doesn't want to lose. It could also be a 3-way race between potentially a Palin-Rubio card vs. Bloomberg (who has the highest prospect for running out of all independents because of his age, experience, popularity and appeals to Obama supporters) and most likely a female running mate (to steal the females from Palin) and an Obama-Biden card on the blue side.

But what if Palin loses the Republican nomination? Could she still run with Tea Party support as an independent? It is still a possibility because remember Republican primaries (how to decide Republican nominee) are only voted on by registered Republicans. Bloomberg could also possibly run which would make it Obama-Palin-Some Repub-Bloomberg for the presidency in 2012. Or it could still be a 3-way race between Obama-Palin-Some Repub.

Or if no independent runs and Palin wins, it could be straight up PALIN VS. OBAMA.

All this speculation and conjecture is crazy, right? Well let me tell you how easy it really is for Obama to win. "It's the economy stupid!" as James Carville said during the Clinton administration. (Why doesn't Obama hire him as his chief of staff?). Americans that aren't involved in politics mostly care about what have you done for me lately. If the economy is back, believe me you can say President Obama all the way until 2014. I guarantee it.

WOW! This Josiah Viera story on ESPN is so inspirational, go Google it
