Notables!!!

While I ramble on about college football and stumble through NFL analysis some of you may think that I am ignoring all of the other important stories. Now I may not talk about them, but I am definitely aware. These stories range from college basketball to hockey.

College Basketball: A couple of the normal names we see in the top 25 of college basketball are missing this year. UCONN and North Carolina are both playing badly and are both playing extremely inconsistently. Syracuse may not be the best team in college basketball but they are playing like it, I think they should be number one. Oh yeah and don't sleep on the New Mexico Lobos.

Major League baseball: If you were the Giants, wouldn't you want to pay Tim Lincecum? Is this a franchise that wants to stay in a rebuilding mode, or if they pay Lincecum all that money is there no way to surround him with the help he needs to be successful? The Twins added a great veteran bat and good fielding option by signing one of the most fun guys in baseball, "The O-Dog" Orlando Hudson. The Detroit Tigers are playing a lot of money for Justin Verlander. He is only 27 and hopefully will continue to produce.

NBA Basketball: The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing like a team on a mission but is there enough there to get them to championship, I still say no. The Lakers look like a team that understands they are banged up. With Phil and Kobe there will be no panic. The New Jersey Nets are really awful. The Hawks are definitely scary for any team in the East. They cause a lot of match up problems, you know like the Magic did last year. Brandon Jennings of the Bucks is having a pretty good rookie season. And finally, say what you want about Kobe and Lebron but Kevin Durant is playing like the MVP.

Hockey: The only story in hockey for me is the Washington Capitals. Alex Ovechkin is the most electric offensive player in the NHL and he is willing that team to greatness. They have now won 13 straight. If the Capitals don't win the Stanley Cup, I will be astonished.

I told ya'll my sports knowledge knows no limits. There is even more. Like this UCONN women's team might be Geno's best yet, yeah I said it. I am also still a little bitter about the Pacquio-Mayweather fight. Boxing needs this fight, and these two yahoos should sit down and make it happen. Nascar is starting soon, so get your left turn on. If the NFL locks out next year I am vowing now that I will never watch another NFL game, NEVER! Live like no one is watching and keep your minds open and you horizons broad.
