Read more..]]> In what many are calling a heartless business move, the New England Patriots cut wide receiver Tiquan Underwood just a day before playing in the Super Bowl. This is the third time this year Underwood had been cut from the team.

There were no disciplinary reasons from the move, the Patriots wanted to make room on the roster for Defensive End Alex Silvestro.

To his credit, Underwood was a class act in his reaction to the move, stating on his Twitter page that he was still cheering for The Patriots.

“Good Luck To The New England Organization, The Coaches, & All My Teammates… #PatsNation,” he wrote. “THANK YOU Everyone For Your Support & Sympathy. Im Fine, This Will Only Make Me Stronger…Tough Times Never Last But Tough Ppl Do #TeamWood.”

Underwood was third on the New England depth chart behind Chad Ochocinco and had three catches for 30 yards on the season.

No it’s not a useless number, there’s a meaning to it.  It’s not the amount of sleeveless hoodies Bill Belichick has worn in the last year.  It’s not the amount of women Tom Brady has dated in his lifetime.  There is all time history behind it.  It stands for the most wins of a quarterback and coach in NFL history.   The incredible number belongs to the three- time super bowl champions Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the most dominating coach-player duo in NFL history.  That number is the result of countless film sessions, preparation, attention to detail, and outstanding game planning.

If you were to follow Tom Brady from his combine showing to draft day no one on earth would’ve thought he would end up being the man he is today.  He was a 6th round pick, the 199th overall in the 2000 draft.  He was looked at as a backup, maybe a starter with some improvement or stability, but nobody thought he’d end up being a Hall of fame quarterback.  I hate sports cliché’s because of the corniness but they do tend to be true, especially in this case.  He probably has had the biggest draft day “chip on his shoulder” in NFL history, for being drafted so late.   So what has got Brady this far?  Well a couple of things, his accuracy, his consistency, his practice and preparation, but most importantly it’s his competitiveness.  He is insanely competitive, the most recent showing of this was a regular season game this season when Brady threw a interception and got into one of the most heated arguments you’ll ever see with his quarterback coach.  (See here) That’s what separates him from an average player or even a great player, and elevates him to one of the greatest.  He wants to be great he doesn’t shy away from it he attacks it like a challenge.

So now, 12 years after his draft day and with enough records to split in half with a ‘bust’ like Ryan leaf and still make him a Hall of Famer,  Tom Brady finds himself in his 5th Super Bowl, which yes, you guessed it is another record.  There is a wild twist to this one, this is (although not fully) the same team that denied him perfection.  He faced the giants in the Super Bowl 5 years ago…his only loss on the big stage.  He had arguably the greatest season for a quarterback ever with 50 touchdowns.  Swept the regular season putting up crazy madden numbers scoring 40, and 50 on teams left and right. He made it all the way to the super bowl only to lose on a game winning drive to Eli manning and the Giants.  Anybody who thinks Tom Brady, the competitive freak that he is doesn’t want to get revenge on the Giants and is just dumb.  He can’t wait, like a kid who stays up until midnight on Christmas to open their presents.  Guess who’s in his corner; his coach, the Genius, Bill Belichick, the man he’s been through numerous wars with over the last 12 years, and walked away with 124 Dubs in those battles.  It’s pretty hard to bet against those two, dontcha think??

Read more..]]> If you’re a football fan, avid or casual, then you’ve heard the rumblings.  You’ve noticed how undoubtedly similar this New York Giants team is to the 2007 squad, a team that got on a hot streak late and went all the way to the Super Bowl and ended what would have been a historic season for the once 18-0 Patriots.  Don’t get it twisted though; this is not the same exact team, they’re BETTER and for a couple of reasons.

Who do you pick to make the Super Bowl? Play our NFL Bracket game & enter for a chance to win Madden 12!

A major contrast this team has with its 07’ counterpart is its absence of two former difference makers on both sides of the ball.  On defense it was the well known sack king- Michael Strahan.  Strahan holds the single season record for sacks and will most likely pass rush his way right into the hall of fame when he becomes eligible.  On the other side of the ball it was Plaxico Burress.  Yes the man who many non football fans would know for channeling his inner Cheddar Bob and shooting himself in the leg in a nightclub after the 2007 season.  That incident (unfortunately) overshadowed his game clinching touchdown catch in the super bowl just days before.

Although, these guys are gone and were great in their Giant careers, they’ve been replaced with some youthful playmakers that any of the other 31 teams would love to have.  The Giants (still) have a ferocious pass rush, who don’t fall too far from their super bowl tree ranked third this year with 48 sacks as opposed to the 50 they tallied in 07.  Instead of Strahan this group is led by the second year phenom Jason Pierre Paul, who had a whopping 16.5 sacks this year. Veteran’s Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, two holdovers from the Super Bowl team, are still there and balling.  They also replaced Plaxico and that group of receivers with some young blood.  The giants trio of Manningham, Cruz, and Nicks, who in particular is setting postseason receiving records, are playing at Pro Bowl levels right now.

The biggest reason why the Giants will win the Superbowl is Eli Manning.  Yes the same Eli manning that threw a league high 25 interceptions one year ago and would often times have you scratching your head thinking “this guy is Peyton’s brother?!”  Well this has been a career defining year for Eli as he ranked 7th in passer rating, set a career high in yards and completions, while keeping his interceptions to a modest 16.  The Same Eli who in the beginning of the season was mocked and ridiculed for saying he was an Elite quarterback.  After winning his second playoff game in Lambeau field, one of the most difficult places to play, no one has a right to argue with him.  He turned out a sensational performance and is the number one reason this team has had success this season.  So with only 2 victories keeping him from his second Superbowl, the next time Eli says he’s elite, not a single person should laugh or chuckle, in fact he doesn’t even have to, his play says it all.

Win Madden 12 by casting your vote here!

NBA All-Star Weekend begins February 24th. The starting players are familiar faces. Team West is majority from Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, and Chris Paul are sure to post serious numbers in effort to walk away with the win. Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and LeBron  James will have to create some sort of chemistry to bring the title to the East.

Hopefully, the starters can avoid the groupie love and keep their focus on the game. Tune into TNT on Sunday February 26th at 6pm to watch it play out.

Just when we thought his money troubles were behind him, Iverson’s bank account gets snatched by the Georgia court system. A Georgia court is garnishing the former NBA baller’s wages to pay a hefty six figure jewelry bill.

Iverson was sued in 2010 for skipping out on a $375,000 bill from the company Aydin & Company Jewelers. Since Iverson never responded to the lawsuit, the court ruled in favor of the company. Iverson’s total is now a whopping $859,896.46. that includes court fees, interest, and attorney fees.

Do they pay well in the basketball leagues in Turkey?

Is This The Clippers City Now?

Just days after LeBron James did his best human pogo stick imitation over Bulls guard John Lucas, III, Blake Griffin may have sent Thunder Center Kendrick Perkins into therapy.

During the third quarter of the Clippers-Thunder game on Monday night, the reigning NBA Slam Dunk champion rose up and “Mozgov’d” Kendrick Perkins–drawing comparisons to his domination of then-Knicks center Timofey Mozgov in 2010 and LeBron’s dunk from the other night.

Watch the clip and tell us if this isn’t the dunk of the year so far.

Was the Mozgov dunk nastier?

Though there were a few glimpses of that in this past Sunday’s game, the 2012 Pro Bowl was a game filled with replay worthy plays and a star turn for the Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver, Brandon Marshall.

Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and set a Pro Bowl record with four touchdowns. The wide receiver had a touchdown in each quarter, which includes the 74 yarder early in the game. That play is sure to be an ESPN staple for days to come. After winning MVP for helping the AFC best the NFC with 59-41, Marshall was quoted as saying, ”You never know when you’re going to be back and I wanted to go all out today because it could be my last Pro Bowl.”

The 59 points by the AFC was a high for the Pro Bowl, and the 100 points posted by both teams is a touchdown short of tying the points scored record set in 2004′s Pro Bowl. 36 players made their first appearance in this year’s  Pro Bowl. Cam Newton and Andy Dalton replaced Superbowl bound shot callers, Eli Manning and Tom Brady, making this the first time two rookie quarter backs played. The two played the whole second half.

His family released a statement Sunday morning to announce his death: “His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled.”

“He died as he lived,” the statement said. “He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community.”

Paterno  won a Division I-record 409 games and two national titles in 46 seasons at Penn State. However he was fired in November amid a child sex abuse scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

With memories of the court or field still fresh in their heads, they haven’t quite developed the level of objectivity of some of their peers.

Since retiring from the NBA Shaquille O’Neal has become an analyst for TNT.  When recently asked to name the best Center in the NBA “The Diesel” bestowed that honor on Lakers big man Andrew Bynum. However, in a head-to-head match up with Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard (the man many would consider the best center) Bynum came up short.

Howard got the best of Bynum, finishing with 21 points, 23 rebounds and one blocked shot to Bynum’s 10 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in the win. For the season Howard is averaging 20 pts, 16 rebounds ad 2.3 blocks to Bynum’s 15 pts, 13 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.

So what did Dwight have to say in response to Shaq?

“He’s mad about ‘Superman,’” Howard said referring to his Slam Dunk contest routine from 2008. “I didn’t know he made it up. I didn’t know Superman came from Shaquille O’Neal.”

Superman was one of several nicknames Shaquille O’Neal used during his career, flaunting a Kryptonian “S” tattoo on his bicep. But Howard doesn’t care.

“I would suggest he’d just sit down and get on with his life,” Dwight added. “He don’t play no more, so what’s the point of talking trash? It’s not like we’re wrestlers and we get to battle it out. Who cares?”
