UFC 82 Preview
UFC 82 features a lot of familiar names, Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, Chris Leban, Luke Cummo. Not to mention some elite fighters such as Andre Arlovski and John Fitch. We didn’t even talk about the feature matchups yet. What that means fellow UFC fans is that we are just not going to get to see all of the matchups we want to see. Realizing this, there are 3 bouts I am really hoping will get aired.

Super Bowl Wrapup
Sorry it took so long, busy week.
Highlights
- I picked the Giants to win outright
- I said they would pound the football
- I said it would be a lower scoring game than the experts thought
- I said Plaxico would catch one in the endzone
- I said the Giants were the team of destiny
- I said they would have the ball with the last chance to score
- I said the Patriots would go right down the field and score when they needed to. (20 seconds left in the game is not enough time)
- I picked the margin of victory exactly
- I said the commercials would stink
- I really enjoyed the game.

Super Bowl XLII Preview
Posted by G. W. Newton at 8:24 pm in NFL | No Comments
The legendary, undefeated, about to make history New England Patriots. How can you go against them? Nobody has been able to beat them so far, not even their Super Bowl opponent, the New York Giants. No one can stop their juggernaut offense. The name Tom Brady is synonymous with winner. The 70’s had Bradshaw, the 80’s Montana and now Tom Brady is about to join their ranks. He has had arguably the greatest season ever by a quarterback. Its like going against Michael Jordan, you would have to be nuts. Then of course theres, Moss, the solid running game, the household name defense and a guy named Belicheck.

The Super Bowl: Not Just Any Old Football Game
Posted by G. W. Newton at 11:27 pm in NFL | No Comments
That’s the first step in analyzing the Super Bowl is in realizing that it is much more than just a football game. It’s a national event. Sure, the die hard football fans like you and me will all be watching, but then again we will probably also watch the Pro Bowl next week too. The real difference is made by the millions who perennially make this game the only one they catch all year. Then there’s those who are only watching because they have been invited to a Super Bowl party. Finally, there are those who have no interest in football whatsoever but who tune in to watch the commercials.

Average again. I was 1 – 1 straight up and 1-1 versus the spread.HighlightsI had the AFC game almost exactly correct. San Diego hung around and made it a game but at no point did anyone really believe that the Bolts could actually win. Read more…

Green Bay vs NY Giants
Posted by G. W. Newton at 11:10 pm in NFL | No Comments
The Giants are looking more and more like a team of destiny. They are simply defying all odds, here’s a small list:
- Win after a loss to New England
- Defeat the #1 seed in the NFC
- 9 road wins in a row
- Eli Manning putting together 3 Peyton-like performances in a row
In addition to that, they have a new set of odds to defy for this weekends championship game: The 5 seed rarely ever makes it here let alone advances.
