It's Championship Weekend! We are down to the Final Four and a mere two weeks until Super Bowl XLVIII. We get Brady vs. Manning 15 and The Young Guns 2 - Kaepernick vs. Wilson. These should be two really good games. Yet, I'm having a hard time rooting for anybody. It is no secret that I have no love for Brady and the Pats, but I always liked Peyton Manning until he became a Bronco, and therefore, public enemy #1. Kaepernick is captaining the team that use to be my favorite team, but I don't really care for him nor his coach. Then, there are the Seahawks. I'm beginning to hate everything about this team-Their logo, their uniforms, their coach, their quarterback, their corners, their rabid fans. Granted, Russell Wilson has done nothing really for me to dislike him, nor has Colin Kaepernick, but there is something, I can't put my finger on it, that makes me think they are a little sketch. Maybe, it's the hater in me, but, yeah...not fond of them.
Three more teams, not Cleveland, finally have head coaches. Jim Caldwell replaces Jim Schwartz in Detroit, Ken Wisenhunt for Mike Munchak, and Jay Gruden for Mike Shanahan. Good luck, gents! Speaking of the Redskins, what did you guys think about RGIII's Facebook response to fans. He complains that he doesn't want publicity as he garners more publicity with this response. I think he has been spending too much time perusing through the Kanye West playbook on how to handle the media.
So, last week was the first week in a long time that I didn't mention the now former tight end of the Atlanta Falcons. Well, that's to The Big Lead, there are rumors going around that my favorite player of all time is in discussion to work at either at CBS or FOX. Word on the street is that CBS wants to shakeup their cast on the NFL on CBS. Let me digress for a moment here. I use to be a fan of the NFL on CBS, but with James Brown inanely yelling "Shay-non," every single time he had to address Shannon Sharpe (whose speech has not gotten better), Dan Marino mannequinesque demeanor, and Boomer Esaison's apparent exclusion in all things, I changed the channel. I went to ESPN, but seriously, it's like watching a Football version of Grumpy Old Men. I watch GameDay morning on NFL Network, but seriously, my pregame favorite is the NFL on FOX. Now, while the NFL on FOX doesn't want to mess with the chemistry on their show, and CBS is interested in possibly replacing Shannon Sharpe. I want to go on record saying I like the choices here: FOX which would give me a daily dose of Tony Gonzalez or CBS which is a weekly dose-win-win.
Last week, I was 3-1 thanks to the Panthers dropping the ball. Last pick before the Super Bowl.
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks
The 49ers handled the Panthers on the Panthers home field, and they have had the hot hand like New York a couple of years ago. The Seahawks looked a little sketch even at home last week against the Saints. I'm not going to even start with Marques Colston and Jimmy Graham. It's hard to go against Seattle in the Emerald City with the 12th man riding shotgun, but I'm going with my old favorite-49ers.
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos
In the two teams I dislike the most bowl, we see Tom Brady and Peyton Manny meeting for the 15th time. Tom Brady has the most victories in this rivalry with 10. It's...yeah, you have heard all of the rhetoric this week about these two...blahdy-blahdy-blah-Broncos. Man up, Manning.
Well, that's that...Happy 205th Birthday to Edgar Allan Poe, "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."-Edgar Allan Poe
