TURKEY DAY SPECIAL

well so passes another thanksgiving and so passes another great day of nfl football.

In the early game whitch started at an unusauly early time the Detroit Lions faced off in a thriller against the Houston Texans. the game ended only after Houstin kicker Shayne Graham nailed a 32-yard field goal with 2:21 left in overtime. Detroit would have had a better chance of winning if  head coach Jim Schwartz would have not illigally challenged a bad call of a touchdown for Houston that would have been challenged by the booth anyway.

in the midday game the Washington Redskins won a tough game against the Dallas Cowboys. the Redskins took an early led and were able to hold off a late game come back by Tony Romo and struggling Cowboys.

In the final game of the day the New England Patriots desimated the New York Jets 49 to 19. looks like another disappointing season for the jets.

hopfully the nfl keeps these thanksgiving day games because I know i have enjoyed eating turky and watching football throughout my life.

The Brooklyn Nets

It was a big night for the Nets franchise when the played the Toronto Raptors on 11/03/12 and they looked a lot better than last season. The team looked a lot more balanced and a lot more players got involved under coach Avery Johnson. With the move to New York I think I really like the Nets now there color scheme although very similar the the San Antonio Spurz. The black and white makes them look way more intimidating than then old colors that made them look like whimps. My favorite thing about the new Brooklyn Nets besides the players is the new logo (as seen) although it is simple I think it's really cool. Looking at the Brooklyn Nets they are poor bubbly one of my new favorite NBA teams.

What's with.....all the lockouts

Today I would like to debut this weekly short titled What's With. In these posts I will talk about certain troubling sports related topics. Today's topic the resent lockouts. In 2011 both the NBA and NFL locked out there players and now the NHL is in a lockout. I believe these lockout are due to greedy commissioners and players. I think every but needs to go back to playing because they love the sport they play not for the money because this is pathetic!

Problem!!!!!

Problem!!!!!

Detroit Tigers

Detroit tigers

season report

A lot of people have asked me to do a baseball post so here it is.

Although my favorite MLB team didn't win the world series they still had an amazing year. 

Key Players: I would say the 2 most important players this season were Miguel Cabrera who was the first triple crown winner since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 and Justin Verlander who didnt miss a step after winning the cy young award.

Rising Star: This year the tigers brought up a young boy by the name of  Quintin Berry. Berry brought a nice spark to the tigers after a slow start at the begining of the year. One of Berry's biggest plays this year was his very first hit a bunt double.

What To Look Forward To: After such a great season its hard to think the tigers will get much better but the possibilty is very high. With young guns like Quintin Berry and a lot of young pitchers they will look to improove. Also, we will be getting Victor Martinez back from injury pair him with Cabrera and Prince Fielder and the Tigers have some power hitters.

THE UNLIKELY 

LEADERS

Now I really REALLY dislike the Minnesota Vikings but i have to give credit where credit is due. This team went from getting a top 5 draft pick to now being 4-1 and looking to make a run at a division title.

A key win so far was againt the San Fancisco 49ers who was considered to be a championship contender this season after shockingly making it to the NFC championship game last season. Another remarkable win came against one of my favorite teams the Detroit Lions.

One very important element to the Vikings recent success is the growth of QB Christain Ponder who in the Vikngs latest win threw for over 250 yards and had 2 touchdown passes against the Tennassee Titans. However, the biggest reason why the Minnesota Vikings are 5-1 is AP Adrian Peterson. This stellar running back is coming of an injury plagued 2011-2012 season but if he keeps up what hes doing now this could be one dangrous team.

Although the Vikings did lose to the Inndianapolis Colts who are starting a rookie QB in Andrew Lucks so who knows how good this team really is...

Thunder trade James Harden

How stupid... I do not understand at all why the Oklahoma City thunder would trade one of there key players. Yes, I under stand they have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook but I believe Harden is very under rated. Also, I worry for how the thunders chemistry will be without him because I always saw him as the glue if there team. Now as for the Houston Rockets they get a steal and a possible new face of the franchise and this could be what they need to keep the Rockets in Houston
