Eric Decker Domination

During the close Chiefs and Broncos game Eric Decker certainly had a contribution to the Denver win. Decker had eight receptions for career high in yards, which was 174, and four touchdowns! If you do the math, that means Decker had every touchdown for the Broncos except for one! Decker really stepped up this week and proved to everyone that he is a offensive threat and Peyton Manning knows how to find him.

Alabama vs Auburn

The Alabama vs Auburn game was absolutely amazing! If you did not watch the game you completely missed out! The ending to that game was phenomenal and unlike any other. I was happy to see Auburn win the game and especially in the exciting way that they did. Did any of you predict Auburn to come out victorious?

NCAA or NBA

Many people say that they like NCAA basketball better than the NBA. I see positives and negatives in both of the leagues, but  what are your reasoning's behind  your answer?

LeBron James returns to Cleveland

LeBron James and the Miami Heat (11-3) play in Cleveland tonight against Kyrie Irving and the Cavaliers (4-10). Now that Irving is the face of the Cav's, many are wondering if he'll be able to step up and beat the Champs and former Cavalier, James. What are your predictions, and who do you think we'll play a better game, James or Irving?

Yankees Policy

The New York Yankees have had a no beard policy for the longest time now, and I believe that they should change that. Many players in the MLB like having beards and the Yankees miss opportunities to sign very skilled players because they do not want to shave their beard. For some players the beard is actually how they are known. For instance, Brian Wilson would not play for the Yankees for the simple fact that he could not have a beard. The beard of Brian Wilson is what makes him who he is; that is literally how he is known! I believe that the Yankees have had this no beard policy for too long and it is potentially hurting them because they are missing out on all of the gifted athletes that have beards.

MLB still Americas Sport?

For the longest time, America's sport was baseball. However, that may not be the case anymore. As newer sports are coming into America, and other sports are getting more popular, baseball happens to be losing a lot of popularity and this has been happening for sometime now. If you had to choose, what sport do you think is the most popular in America?

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have a better record than what most people would have predicted thus far. Last night they played the New Jersey Nets and lost by two in overtime. No body would have guessed that the Suns could keep up with a power house such as the Nets, but they did. As a Phoenix Suns fan I am thrilled by how they have been playing and cannot wait to see what they do later on in the season.

Fantasy or Favorite Team

Many people have their own fantasy team and compete against others. Sometimes it is hard to choose because you want your fantasy team to do well; however, you want your actual favorite team to do well too. My question is, would you rather have your fantasy team do better, or your actual favorite team?

Will Bullying Ever End?

Miami Dolphins Jonathan Martin hasweek, Martin left his team to find help for emotional issues. Martin has been getting bullied and picked on by his fellow teammates and he has had enough. One time in the team cafeteria his teammates actually refused to sit with him. Worst of all, he received text messages from fellow lineman Richie Incognito that are threatening and he has also got racial text messages and voice mails. I understand picking on a fellow teammate and making them a little angry, but when does it go too far?

officially had enough. Last

Lob City Really Gone?

Many sports fans were saying that Lob City is no longer in Los Angeles, but I believe that is completely false. This season just started and the Clippers are one of the most enthusiastic teams because of the reactions they get when DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffen get an alley oop and dunk the ball. They're one of the most energetic teams and they make it extremely fun to watch. Do you think Lob City has gone away or do you believe that it is still in effect?

Bryant on the sideline

What many people believe is that Dez Bryant was yelling at his teammates on the sidelines on Sunday, that is all wrong. He was just trying to motivate them and tell his teammates exactly what was going on. His actions looked as if he was saying rude things, but he was just trying to motivate his team and let them know that it is not over. He was explaining to them how they were playing him is how they want them too. He wanted Romo to look his way more. Sure, Bryant could have went about it a different way, but i believe sometimes you need yelling to get peoples attention. What do you think, do you think he should have went about it a different way?

Bucks Floor

Many would think that a brand new NBA court would be amazing for a team; however, for the Milwaukee Bucks that is certainly not the case. On last Friday night's game between the Bucks and the Raptors the officials stopped the game in the first quarter because so many players kept slipping every time they cut, that obviously created an unsafe environment for the players. Many of the players said that they were actually afraid to continue playing on the court, that it got so bad that they would fall and when they would try getting back up again they would fall again! As of today, there were two people that were sent to Milwaukee's stadium to determine the reason of the court being so slippery.

World Series Prediction

I believe the World Series will go to game 7. This kills me to say because I am a Yankees fan, but after what happened last night, I believe that the Red Sox are going to win the World Series. I know it is early, but all  all the momentum is on Boston's side. When the Red Sox get someone on base they usually convert, lets hope the Cardinals prove me wrong. Go St. Louis!

NBA Games Streamed Live Locally

The NBA will be the first major sport league in the United States to allow its games to be streamed live locally, and this is going to allow sports fans to watch their hometown teams on the computers locally. Fox is dealing with the most basketball teams out of all the major sport networks. I believe this is going to be huge. Every fan has wanted to watch their local team on the computer, but sometimes it is just not on there. Hopefully more leagues adopt this idea as well!

NYG

As many are aware, the New York Giants are having a terrible season this year. The Giants are 0-6 at the moment and their next game is Monday against the the Vikings. I believe that the Giants are going to break their losing streak and manage a victory over the Vikings. The Giants will be the home team and hopefully that will give them a little bit of an advantage. How do you think the game will go?

Tony Romo

Many sport fanatics believe that Tony Romo is a horrible quarterback. People talk badly about him all the time. Sure, he has messed up in the fourth quarter a couple of times, but what quarterback hasn't? What many fans don't know is that he has surpassed most of Troy Aikman's stats! Romo has a career completion percentage of 65.1 and Aikman has a completion percentage of 61.5. Romo has a QB rating of 96.4 and Aikman's is 81.6. There are more categories that Romo leads Aikman in too. There are some categories that Romo is behind Aikman in; however, Romo is still playing and can surpass those records as long as he still plays. Tony Romo is not a bad quarterback like many think, but he is only recognized for the bad things that he does.  

Nike Reveals Pro Bowl Jerseys

Recently, Nike revealed the new jerseys for the 2014 Pro Bowl game. There are many critics this year of the jerseys, which I can understand because Nike went away from the usual red and blue jerseys that everyone is accustomed too. However, I like the change a lot better. This is a new era of jerseys and it is time to modernize them for the Pro Bowl. The only flaw that these jerseys have is that they are extremely similar to the Oregon and Oregon State college uniforms; they look almost identical. Overall, I love the change and I think the Pro Bowl jerseys look amazing and I believe that the players like the change too.

Pirate Tickets for 2014

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced that they will be raising the ticket prices for the 2014 season. I believe this is extremely smart for the organization to bring in more money. Many people are still going to buy Pirates' tickets even if the price is getting jacked up. In fact, I believe that more tickets will be sold next year as in comparison to this year. The Pirates will be coming off of an amazing  season and everyone will want to watch them again next year. Pirates' fans really didn't have much to look forward to in the past, but now that they have made the playoffs there is hope that they will again for the next couple of seasons. There are expectations for the Pirates again, and I hope that they go beyond those expectations.

Not Leaving Empty Handed

The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez (3B) on Thursday sues the MLB for trying to push him out of the sport. The law suit accuses the MLB of engaging "tortious interference," interfering with A-Rod's existing contracts and future business relationships. In Manhattan the State Supreme Court came days after A-Rod's lawyers began appealing the 211 game ban. His lawyers claim that the league paid Bosch 5 million dollars to buy his corporation. They also claim that an investigator paid $150,000  (in cash) for stolen records tying A-Rod to Biogenesis. It is interesting to see how this will turn out. Will A-Rod get the money he is after, or just waste his money trying to?

Record at PNC!

PNC Park had the most fans ever on Tuesday night when the Pirates took a victory over the Reds. The fans definitely contributed to that game. All of the fans were screaming at the top of their lungs and really getting into the game. There was not an open seat in the entire stadium with 40,487 people attending the game. The fans got under the Red's pitchers skin by screaming their last name and I believed it contributed to a couple home runs for the Pirates. The atmosphere of the stadium was absolutely amazing. I Cannot wait to see what happens tonight!

Will Cano get the money he is after?

As many may know, Robinson Cano will be a free agent. Cano is looking for a 10-year, $305 million contract! As a Yankees fan, I am aware that he is one of the top players in the league, but even I am questioning that contract for him. Many long term contracts end up not working out because the players don't end up performing to their expectations after so many years. At the end of his desired contract, he will be in his 40's! Cano is a great player and I hope he finds a great contract; however, I don't know if that contract he is seeking is ideal.

Washington National's Honor the Navy

One of the major controversies last week is when the Washington Nationals supported the Navy Veterans that died by wearing Navy hats. The players got to wear the hats during warm up, the National Anthem, and even in between their double header, but never got to wear them during the game. Many believe they should have gotten to wear them during the game, and I completely agree. However, the Major League Baseball rules state otherwise.
