Ben Sheets Gives Great Effort For Brewers

Ben Sheets showed the Atlanta Braves and everyone else why he is considered one of the better pitchers in baseball. Sheets tossed a four-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves by a score of 4-1. Sheets retired the last 16 batters he faced and got his third complete game of the season in the process.

Mike Cameron hit a two-run homer to help back Sheets pitching in the win. Sheets now stands 9-1 and has a chance to be a 20 game winner this year. The Brewers have a young talented ball club and could be one team down the road that teams are going to have to deal with. I guess only time will tell.

Shaq Disses on Kobe Bryant

I guess the feud continues between Shaq and Kobe Bryant even if it is only one sided it seems. Shaq was doing some freestyle rapping and was talking about how Kobe has not won a title without him. In case Shaq does not remember he did have a guy name Dwayne Wade helping him. Maybe Shaq forgot about him.

Kobe has tried to forget about Shaq and has kept his mouth quiet about their relationship so you have to respect Kobe for that. I guess Shaq has nothing else to do so one way to keep his name in the news is to talk about Kobe.

Celtics Make Improable Comeback To Take 3-1 Series Lead

The Boston Celtics this season has been one team that everytime you watch them you know they have a chance to win every game. Most of the time you cannot say that about other teams. The Celtics were down as many as 24 points to the Lakers, but kept chipping away and finally was able to take the lead in the fourth quarter. They went on for a 97-91 win and a 3-1 series lead.

Kobe Bryant had a terrible shooting night and that was the main reason the Lakers lost as no one else on this team can step up and help him out. Is it over? I would probably say so, but when you have Kobe Bryant you always have a chance to win a game and even a series.

Cubs Lose Star Player But Win Game

The Chicago Cubs were able to beat the Atlanta Braves by a score of 7-2 yesterday, but in the process lost star player Alfonso Soriano who was hit with a pitch in the hand which was x-ray and found to be broken. It looks like Soriano will miss at least six weeks.

Lucky for the Cubs they are playing real well right now so losinf Alfonso Soriano is not as big as a hit it would have been a few years ago. This is a more complete Cubs team and they can compete with anyone right now. Look for the Cubs to be fine and ride out this injury without a problem.

Derrick Brooks One Of The Greatest Ever

How do we equate one of the greatest ever? Do we have to mention his name all the time or is he the assuming leader who shows by example. If you were looking for a leader than Derrick brooks would be at the head of your class. Brooks has anchored the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for a long time and 10 Pro Bowls and 9 All-Pro seasons will get him in the Hall Of Fame.

What sets Brooks apart from others is his willingness to help others on his team and the community that is what a real leader is. Yes, Derrick is not the player he once was, but give me him any day of the week and I will win a lot of football games.

T.O. Frustrated With The Drug testing Issues

Terrell Owens is frustrated that he has been put in a program where he will be tested more often because of a lack of communication. T.O. who missed a random drug test now must be tested more often as that is the result of his missed test.

Now T.O. has said you can test him 10,000 times and he will come up clean everytime because he does not do anything illegal. That is probably true, but T.O. rules are rules and they must be followed no matter who you are. Just take the damn tests and you will be fine.

Lamar Odom What Happened?

Lamar Odom has been absent so far in the NBA playoffs and unless the Los Angeles Lakers get something out of him soon the Boston Celtics could be celebrating a NBA Championship. Odom seems like he is pressing and I really think it is really hurting his game. He needs to relax and let the game copme to him instead of him putting pressure on himself.

Kobe Bryant is going to need some help and unless Lamar Odom decides to step up it could really be a very short series for the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant can only do so much as the Boston Celtics defense can take a lot out of you.

Memphis Continues To Roll On

No. 1 memphis has quietly been under the radar, but they just continue to roll on. Yesterday they beat Gonzaga for their 19th straight win by a score of 81-73 win. The Tigers got 21 points from Chris Douglas Roberts and Derrick Rose added 19 points to keep the Tigers undefeated. Memphis at times struggled and they are far from perfect. Someone will beat them as it's very hard to be perfect all season long. It's the law of averages.

Kevin Garnett Saves Celtics From Big Upset

Kevin Garnett left the game with a stomach ailment aginst his former team the Minnesota Timberwolves, but got back in time to make an lasting impression on the Celtic faithfull when he knocked away a ball from Sebastain Telfair to seal the victory for the Celtics.

The Celtics Got 21 points from Kendrick Perkins as they beat a team full of former Celtics by a score of 87-86. This came was closer than many people expected it to be, but it just shows you how hard it is to win every game by large margins in the NBA> It's a very tough league so this really doesn't surprise me much.

Tom Brady Where Is He?

It seems everyone is worried about Tom Brady and his foot. Brady is nursing a sore ankle and will probably have it as he enters into Super Bowl week. one of the things that the New England Patriots are good at is not always being truthful. They will hide the injury to Tom Brady for as long as they can. This is just how it works.

They want the Giants and the public to know as little as possible about the injury to Brady. The bottom line though is Brady will start the Super Bowl and they will have to break his leg for him to come out of it. This is what the Super Bowl means to Tom Brady. Look for him to be at the game with bells on ready to play.

Will Bo Pelini Make A Difference At Nebraska

Bo Pelini was passed over for Bill Callahan and now he must turn around a program that in truth is really not very good right now. The famed blackshirts defense was one of the worse in the NCAA this year. That was a part of Nebraska football that people took great pride in at Nebraska. Pelini was the defensive coordinator at Nebraska before so that is one area that should improve quickly.

Offensively I look for Pelini to go back to the run first style offense that Nebraska has been famous for. The west coast offense that Bill Callahan brought in just didn't work out for Nebraska and that's why he isn't the head coach anymore. It will be interesting to see what changes Bo Pelini make right away as he has a lot of work ahead of him.

New England Patriots Still Perfect

The New England Patriots didn't play their best game of the season, but did just enough to win and that's all that really matters. The Patriots stop the Chargers by a score of 21-12 as when the fourth quarter arrived the patriots were able to run the ball and chew up the clock and the Chargers had no answers to stop their running game.

In the Chargers defense though Phillip Rivers was hurt and L.T. only play for three plays before sitting rest of the game out. The Chargers had plenty of chances in the red zone, but couldn't get it in the end zone. This basically cost them the game and that is why the Chargers are going home and the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.

Giants Are Super On Way To Super Bowl

Eli Manning wasn't given much of a chance today and I will admit I was one of those. I thought that Brett Favre would have no trouble moving the ball against the Giants defense, but it didn't work out that way. manning did enough to keep the Giants in the game and Lawrence Tymes made a good on a field good in overtime making up for two field goal missed late in the game to give the Giants a 23-20 win in overtime.

Brett Favre struggled to move the ball and a interception in overtime hurt the packers chances of winning the game. Favre will probably be back next year as they wasn't expected to get this far. The Giants have played the patriots already this season and this should be an interesting matchup as the Giants could have beat the patriots before. Should be a great Super Bowl.

Does San Diego Have A Chance

This is a question many people are asking themsleves and it could be real interesting for a couple of different reasons. Of course San Diego has a chance to win against New England. The Patriots want to keep going the role they are on and the Chargers want to prove they belong. It will be a long climb for San Diego, but one they can do.

The key to this game will be the Chargers defense that has played well and will have a stern test this weekend against the No.1 offense in the NFL. It should be a very interesting game and we will just have to wait and see what happens in this one.
