Thursday Preview

GO GREEN BAY. Thursdays the big game between Dallas and Green Bay. Both teams are 9-1 and they are the probably the 2 teams that will be in the NFC Championship game this year. Green Bay came out of left field this year, with their offense and defense playing well this year. And then there's Bret Favre. Favre is doing what people thought was long gone from his career. A friend of mine came back from the coast guard, and the first conversation on football we had was Bret Favre. "What the hell happened, Bret Favre was dead last year." He is already coming up on his total completions last year, has more touchdowns, way less interceptions, and is close to passing his total yards from last year as well. Hes always been America's quarterback, and now hes up against America's team in was looks like an early preview of the NFC Championship. Who will win, I hope the Packers who really did a 180 with their team this year. Also, Bret's doing great, but who knows how many dominant seasons he has left. Hopefully he gets himself into another Super Bowl, and this game gonna show how they size up with a dominant team in the NFC.

HGH

I don't know if anyone saw it on Sportscenter, but the Jaguars Maurice Jones-Drew JACKED UP Shawne Merriman. Jones-Drew, whose a lot shorter than Merriman, was staying in for some quarterback protection, hes no fullback or O linemen, but hell at least slow someone down. Here comes Merriman off the right tackle's edge, and here's Jones-Drew waiting who proceeds to throw Merriman flat on his ass . Last year, there would be no way this could happen. After testing he positive for human growth hormone last year, hes been off the juice, passing all of his tests since getting caught. Comparing pictures from last year to present day it can be seen completely how human growth hormone changes a person drastically. Human growth hormone is a trend that's showing it nasty head in all major sports. HGH obviously gives players an edge, they still need the talent but it helps them to hit a ball farther or hit a player harder. Look at Barry Bonds, compare the way this guy looked from when he came into the league to now, even better compare his head size which increased something like 2 sizes. HGH is cheating and disrespects the game, but what happened to Meriman goes to show how much of an advantage it is to have.

PHILLY

Knock em' down again Pats. At home, lets see how the Pats run up the score on the Eagles. Patriots are looking like a impenetrable team, with Brady picking apart defenses with Welker and Moss and their defense doing great too. Maybe time to think again. Sundays Eagles-Patriots game was the closest scare the Patriots had to losing their perfect season since the Colts game. They worked the inside of the field and moved the ball well, and by they I mean Brian Westbrook and... A.J. Feely? A.J. Feely played great on Sunday, scaring the Patriots and their fans in Foxboro by putting on a performance I'm sure even the city of Philadelphia wouldn't even attempt to believe. With the game very close to an end and the score closer, Philly's on the Pats 35 yard line,down 3 with about 4 minutes left on the game clock. The snap, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! INT. Go over the middle like you've be doing all game, burn the clock, give them as little time as possible, after a few more yards your can tie with a field goal anyway. Feely throws deep down to right sideline for Kevin Curtis only to be picked off be a New England cornerback pretty much sitting there wait to grab it. Come on Feely, you had a good chance winning this game, closer than anyone this year except for the Colts and coming off the bench. You dropped the ball man, well actually you just handed it to them.

Wow, another NFL player got shot. Hes lucky it was his leg though, hell be alright. Got enough muscle on his to slow a bullet down. Next day, what the hell happened. Sean Taylor, NFL saftey for the Redskins, was shot in his leg during a home invasion. The next day, he was pronouced dead. Only last year, another NFL player on the Broncos was shot a killed while driving away from a nightclub. This year, Pacman Jones from the Titan's in involved in a case where he was in club when shot were fired off, apparently from some one in his entourage. NFL players have to get themselves away from violence because there are many young fans watching thier favorite players dying or going to jail for doing things a NFL player shouldn't do. Sean Taylor died during a home invasion... the second of the week. This shows I think that it was not just an attempted robbery of a NFL player, but maybe something behide the scences that will show itself later. NFL players must stop getting themselves into these type of situations and try to keep their nose clean.
