MVP

With the ending of week 8 in the NFL, half of the games are in the books for the teams and the talk of end of the year awards have started. This year (as of right now), the top 2 candidates are Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. Peyton suffers from that Jordan syndrome with the voters where every year you could legitimately make an argument that he is the MVP (he has 3) but they have a tendency to want to spread it around. This year there is no doubt in my mind he deserves it with the cast of characters he's working with. That being said, Drew is putting up a carbon copy performance in the NFC and the removal of either of them from their respective teams would be detrimental. If both teams continue on the path of success they are on, there will need to be co-mvp's for the first time since 2003 when manning and the late Steve mcnair shared the honor.

With a name like Golden Tate (notre dame), you almost are destined to be good right? I'm using this theory in the justification of naming my first born Madden....or my dog, whichever happens first.

If you've been sleeping on the world series this year, you're missing one of the better ones in recent years. The yanks will close out tonight in game 6...bet on it...matter fact, I think i will do that. Speaking of one of the better ones, this performance by Jay-Z/Alicia Keys was one of the better pre-game performances I've seen lately


If anybody sees deuce mcallister, tell him i said whats up and we still got love for him in saintsnation.

I got my expected "bandwagon" fan accusation yesterday. I think anybody that's known me longer than 2 weeks may think i would literally bleed black and gold if cut. The bandwagon fan is needed as it increases sales for tickets and merchandise when a team is doing well, but the fair weather fan is like the fair weather friend to me, don't need em! Speaking of my saints, we're 7-0, one more game and the doors are closing for this ride!
