Breaking News: Brett Favre To Talk To The Minnesota Vikings
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
Okay, so it’s really not breaking news as we were all expecting this… I know I did. Now all we have to do is wait to hear that Brett Favre signed with the Minnesota Vikings and everyone that hardly tried to be Nostradamus can check “Favre signing with the Vikes” from their list of predictions. Oh, Brett… do you really want to exact revenge on the Green Bay Packers that much? Get into the NFC North, face your old team twice, and make them regret it? Okay, you’re more than right to have that as your motivation, but don’t you think you’re damaging your shine a bit? Favre will always be a Packer, so any attempts to achieve the production he did with the Pack on any other team is somewhat insulting to his own legacy. I wish he would just stay retired and walk off into the sunset guns smoking, his legend intact, and his time with the New York Jets considered a last attempt at glory, which is very much understood. But, it won’t happen.

Seriously, Brett Favre, Again?
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
The seemingly neverending saga of Brett Favre continues and at this point, we need to start calling his bluff and call BS on the future Hall of Famer. Favre says that he is retired and has even had his agent confirm this, but didn’t this happen last year as well? Fool me once, shame on you… fool me twice, shame on me, but only, you aren’t going to fool me again because I’m not buying it. And, deep down, the Minnesota Vikings aren’t either and will soon be checking on Favre despite what Vikings coach Brad Childress is saying during their rookie minicamp. Tavaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels, and John David Booty… Brett Favre. Yeah, I can’t blame the Vikings, especially considering how much Favre wanted to play there last year before the Green Bay Packers traded him to the New York Jets.
Well, with the recent release from the Jets, Favre looks like he’ll have a clear path to join the NFC North Packers rival, Vikings. But Brett Favre says he’s retired. And so does his agent. So, he’s retired. NOT! Soon enough, every sports website will have the headline, “Brett Favre signs with the Minnesota Vikings” and I hope we all treat it like old news and say, “Duh.”

No Disappointment: Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals Deliver a Classic
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
NBC’s pre-game coverage for Super Bowl XLIII included an interview with Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. In it he remarked that in his first Super Bowl a couple years back he was nervous, didn’t perform all too well and had “rubbery legs.” This time Big Ben didn’t disappoint as the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in a game full of big plays and a great finish. Roethlisberger came through and didn’t disappoint. What about the rest of the game?
Pittsburgh Steelers Win Super Bowl XLIII
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
The Pittsburgh Steelers won the NFL’s 43rd Super Bowl, edging out the Arizona Cardinals, 27-23 in what will be one of the better Super Bowls ever played. Trailing 20-7 going into the fourth quarter, the Cardinals came back to score 16 unanswered points to take a 23-20 lead with over two minutes to go. Then Ben Roethlisberger coolly led a 78-yard TD drive to win the game for the Steelers who are now the best NFL franchise in history, winning its sixth Super Bowl, leading all NFL teams in history. Santonio Holmes was named Super Bowl MVP with nine receptions and 131 receiving yards and one TD. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin became the youngest coach to ever win the Super Bowl at the tender age of 36 and in only his second season as the Steelers head coach. Congratulations to the Steelers!

Super Bowl XLIII Preview - Arizona Cardinals Versus Pittsburgh Steelers
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
The Fig Caption: Number 43 wants another trophy in Super Bowl 43… is it destined in the numbers?
The NFL’s 43rd Super Bowl goes down this Sunday, February 1st at 6:28 PM ET in Tampa Bay, Florida on NBC. The NFC champion Arizona Cardinals (9-7) hope to keep the postseason magic going as they face off against AFC champs, the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4). The Cardinals had a more burdensome postseason path than the Steelers as Arizona needed to defeat the Atlanta Falcons (30-24 @ Arizona) in the Wildcard Round, take on heavily favored Carolina Panthers and light them up on the road (33-13 @ Carolina) during the Divisional Round, and finally, beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a close game (32-25 @ Arizona) during the NFC Championship Round. The Steelers on the other hand, had a first round bye, defeated the San Diego Chargers handily (35-24 @ Pittsburgh) in the Divisional Round, and beat the Baltimore Ravens in a closer match-up than the score indicates (23-14 @ Pittsburgh) in the AFC Championship Round thanks to a timely Troy Polamalu interception.
The road for both teams has been a long and taxing road, as only an NFL schedule could be, but on Sunday, one of them will reach the ultimate destination - a Super Bowl victory.

Cardinals Hang On and Steelers Use Big Plays On Their Road to the Super Bowl
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials, Editorials,
The Arizona Cardinals jumped out to a big lead over the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Eagles came all the way back to take a one-point lead in the fourth quarter. On the next series Kurt Warner led a fourth quarter drive, ending in a TD, and the Cardinals move on with a 32-25 victory.
It was a heck of a lot of defense as the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14. The Ravens were never ahead, but kept it close by taking advantage of good field position for their two scores. Pittsburgh used big TD plays by WR Santonio Holmes and an interception that was run back for a score by safety Troy Polamalu to knock down the Ravens.
Titans, Giants and Panthers Forget How to Play Football

I figured when I went 1-for-4 with my Wild Card playoff picks that it couldn’t get any worse. Wrong. I go O-for-4 this weekend. What the heck is going on? One playoff preview (from the experts) this past week stated “pick the home team” in the second round of the NFL playoffs. The reasons given: A) the stronger teams have earned the first week bye, B) these teams will play at home in the second week, C) they’re rested, and D) they have an extra week to gameplan.
So what happens? Other than the Pittsburgh Steelers, all home teams lose.

Ravens, Chargers, and Cardinals Make Me Look Bad

I went 1-for-4 with my Wild Card picks. Only the Philadelphia Eagles came up with one of my predicted victories. Meanwhile, San Diego, Baltimore, and Arizona looked good and moved on despite my putting the “whammie” on them.
Arizona Cardinals beat Atlanta Falcons:
The Cardinals used big plays to wide receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to pick up 14 points. Atlanta rookie QB Matt Ryan was very respectable in leading drives and providing Atlanta with a 17-10 lead going into the half. But the second half got off to a disastrous start as Arizona’s Antrel Rolle picked up an Atlanta fumble and ran 27 yards to paydirt. Arizona took a lead that they did not relinquish. Then Cardinal QB Kurt Warner delivered a nice drive to put it away.
Next up: Cards go to Carolina to meet the Panthers.

I thought all the playoff possibilities prior to Sunday would drive me nutty. Now after all the results are in, I’m still woozy. I can’t keep track of all the junky efforts we saw on the field and my coaches’ scorecard is getting marked up something fierce with all the firings that are piling up.
