3's update...

Allen Iverson was dropped from the Grizzlies, so he's in search for a job...
CP3 went down last week with a very bad ankle sprain..It's said he'll be out for 3-4 weeks.
Dwyane Wade...Need I say anything when Power Rankings Said it all..
"Dwyane Wade broke spirits (Anderson Varejao), broke hearts (Nets), and broke records (franchise-record 22 straight 20-plus games) this week."

The 49ers won on Thursday against the Bears...I think I already wrote about it, but yeah they need some offensive help.  Their Defense on the other hand, is pretty darn strong...

Bill Bellicheck took a risk and it cost the Pats and Tom Brady the game.  Most people disagree with his choice, I being one of them.  Sure, it's great to have Tom Brady with the ball in the final minutes of a close game, but if you're leading the game by less than a touchdown, and it's more than 4 and 1, (4 and 2), on their own 30 yard line, I think everything leads to punt.  I get his decision, but it wasn't necessary.  If they were losing by a 6, yes, absolutely.  If they were winning with the down, 4 and 1, maybe.  But the safest bet would be to punt the ball and trust your defense.  I'm still agitated that Tom Brady lost..Gr

No need to talk about the Raiders losing to the Chiefs.
No need to talk about the Wizards struggling to find W's.  Everyone says it's because they don't have Jamison, but how much would he help?  I mean a significance yes, but I don't htink one player changes a 2-6 team to above .500 just like that.  It's still gonna take time for him to get used to the rotation and the game.

Kings are above .500, and are on a 4 game win streak, the latest coming from the Rockets (who beat the Lakers the next game).  WOW. Holy Smokes ,would have never predicted that.  I guess I'm a pessimist when I told people this would be the only two game winning streak this season, and they already doubled it.  Ha, anyways J T and Tyreke need to keep gettin me fantasy points!

Warriors traded Stephen Jackson for Raja Bell and Vlad... I don't like that trade, nor do I like how it hurts my fantasy team of Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph, and Stephon Curry... Hopefully, they drop Vlad , or trade for a pick cause there's too many people on that team!

Assassin's Creed II comes out this week too.

It's Wednsday

Today was one of those days you just wanted to stay in bed.  The rain was pouring, the clouds were darkening, and it was cold.  Luckily, it’s Wednsday, where I can skip my morning class and wait til my 5 clock class.  The rain fills the streets, and the winds clog the sewers.  Modern Warfare 2 came out yesterday, and I got me a copy.  Haven’t played that much, in respect to my cousin, but I want to. Haha Anyways, lets go to the professional sport
How about them Kings.  For the first time in 3 seasons, the Kings are at .500 even.  And we have the rookie, Tyreke Evans to thank for that.  I honestly would’ve liked Steph Curry for the 1^st pick, but apparently Evans is proving himself.  I thought Curry would be a better fit because Kevin Martin is a 2 guard, and Steph Curry is a 1.  He’s a dribbler, passer, and shooter.  Tyreke Evans is merely a 2 guard, trying to play the one.  His assist-turnover ration is horrible, and is shot is wickedly ugly.  With no surprise, the Kings are still winning without Kevin Martin… I say no surprise because, Kevin Martin is nothing to me.  All he is, all he’ll ever be, is a shooter.  An efficient scorer/ shooter.  He’ll never get more than 5 rebounds or 5 assists a game for a season.  He lacks the dribbling skills and IQ to do so.  It’s funny how there’s sac people believing, Kevin Martin is a super-star in the making, and the next Kobe Bryant without Defense.  Hilarious.  The Kings are winning because the boy Kevin Martin doesn’t require touching the ball. Sure he might have given us points, but there’s no ball rotation.  Notice how Peja never got more than 3 all-star appearances.  I highly doubt Kevin Martin will top that.  Plus, Evan’s primary position is 2 guard, Martin’s spot.  Now that Martin’s injured, Evan’s is playing his primary position.  Results are proof. Oh and right now he’s currently ranked number 1 in rookie rankings.

Surprised that Hornets aren’t doing too well.  Same with the Spurs.  How about Miami though? Dwyane Wade had 40 last night against the Wizards. Boston and Miami only have one loss.  Washington, without Antwan Jamison, are a whopping 2-6.  Most of the Eastern Conference, beside the big 3, are all losing records.  Western Conference, have more teams above .500, with Phoenix leading the way, 7-1.  LA is 6-1 after losing to Dallas in Week 1.  Surprise of the week? Sacramento. 4-4, amazing. Haha.  Golden State is suffering, even though they put up 140 against Minnesota. 

Fantasy wise, team numbe 1 last week had a very interesting matchup against a very strong team.  Geelong Cats had Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Rasheed Wallace, Luol Deng, Jermaine O’neal, Blake Griffin, Marcus Camby, Allen Iverson, Samuel Dalembert, Andrew Bogut, and Kirk Hinrich.  Two players on his team didn’t play, AI and Blake Griffin due to injury/personal Reasons.  He was actually beating me in the early week, up to Friday where he led 8-1.  Somehow, I pulled out with the 5-3 win, tying in rebounds.  My team also were without, Tayshaun Prince, Leandro Barbosa, and Tim Duncan.  I think the improvement of Tyreke Evans and Chris Bosh helped me pull out.  The categories I lost in were, steals, blocks, and turnovers. 

The second team, also ranked number one, played the first week.  I played All that Remains, who has Aaron Brooks, Manu Ginobli, Vince Carter, John Salmons, Andrea Bargnani, Luis Scola, Jermaine O’neal, Kobe Bryant, Devin Harris, and Chris Duhon.  Other than Kobe, I didn’t have anyone to worry about.  Manu was also injured on his team.  I had a strong performance by Rudy Gay and Deron Williams to take place of injured Yi Jinialian, and Troy Murphy.  I beat him 8-1, losing only in turnovers. 

NFL.

Who would’ve thought the 49ers would’ve been under .500 in week 10 of the NFL season at 3-5.  The beginning of the season looked promising, but after watching the last 4 games, has been quite the opposite.  Losing the last 4 games, the 49ers don’t have anyone mainly to blame but a combination of bad luck and horrible offense.   You could say it’s their turnover rate with newly inserted quarterback, Alex Smith.   Or you could say it’s the schedule they have, with their opponents being extremely good. Sure, the Vikings stole a victory away from us, but look at Tennessee and Indianapolis.  Both of those victories could’ve easily been ours.  But our offense failed to convert in the 2^nd half of the Colts game, and Alex Smith turned over the ball in the last 3 minutes.  Both of those games were our victories, which would have left us 5-3.  Instead, we our questioning our coaches, and the ability to run an effective offense.  Coach Mike Singletary told everyone last year and during the off-season that the 49ers were going to be a run run run offense.  Power and more power.  It’s great that he had the idea of being the power running team the NFL lacks, but once you tell that to your opponents, think about what the defense they’re going to run.  They’re going to put 8 men in the box 1^st and 2^nd downs, knowing the 49ers will run the ball.  And now that they’re trying to pass the ball, Alex Smith is throwing interceptions for touchdowns…So where do the 49ers go from here?  I say, keep up the risk, keep fighting for their season.  It’s  about moving the chains, and the play calls by coaches.  But it’s also up to the players moving the chains, tipping the balls that should’ve been caught.

Ravens and Broncos a fluke? They’re losing, and losing bad.  Broncos are 6-2, so not so much to worry about, although SD is 5-3 and catchin up.  Ravens are 4-4, which should be worried, with the Bengals and Steelers in front.  Cowboys have regained their conference on top of the Eagles and Giants.  Patriots are leading their league against the Jets and Dolphins.  Vikings are 7-1, no surprise here.  Saints and Colts are still undefeated.   

Keep your Eyes Posted!

Congrats to Dwayne Wade on his 10,000 points Milestone.  This is what you call Superstar.






This Wed, he will be on National TV, ESPN at 7 P.M Eastern Standard Time, against Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards. I look forward to that matchup, although I'll miss the first half due to school.
On more news, Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, is injured and listed Day to Day.

Anthony Randolph is still trying find his All-Star caliber, but can't blame him cause Nellie ain't playin him!.. Same thing with Anthony Morrow. Gallinari is a steal pick up right now, hitting 16 3's this season, including 8 in one outing. The Italian Knick can shoot!
I'm debating if I should pick up Courtney Lee, Peja Stojakavic, and/or Kenyon Martin...and drop either, Travis Outlaw, Yi Jinilian, and/or Anthony Morrow.

49ers Lost. Raiders Lost. Tom Brady is on the Bye. Redskins are on the Bye. Thank God the Ravens smashed the Broncos....49ers could've won, but didn't score the 2nd half of the Indy game, to leave Indy undefeated. Raiders, they just suck. Tom Brady's comin back from London. Joe Flacco is the man!

Celtics are undefeated, with Rondo signing an extension, 55 Million for 5 years. Jesus, just think, the Kings could've had him, instead of Quincy Who? Douby. Great, just Great. Kevin MArtin is still proving me right when I say, "Worst Clutch" performer. My dad was on Fox News too.

 

(Around the 540 Mark)
He had more coverage time, but I suppose they didn't like his responses. This is a revised/edited version. In the previous version, my dad answered questions of what should've been happening during the time of the crash, Along with what "might've" occured to cause the crash. And lastly, he finishes with, "slim chances" when asked what were the chances of survival. He said it with a straight face...I bet the family members are disgusted with my dad.

Let’s talk Sports!

NBA Start of the Season<

Cleveland is 0-2 ! Wow. Boston 2-0 and Lakers 2-0 , big surprise there. New Orleans aka Cp3 needs some back up cause the Spurs just smashed them.  I like Cp3's sense of humor, "We were supposed to go 82-0 but we knew it wasn't feasible." lol. Atlanta's Al Horford put up better numbers than Dwight Howard (only cause Superman didn't play 2 quarters).  Both Florida Teams won.  Kings Lost, big surprise there.  Warriors lost, cause Morrow and Randolph didn't play at all. Thanks Nellie.  Utah lost to Denver, Philly got smashed by 3's.  mmmHmm.

Ah so the NBA started this past week.  Great to have those games back.  Dwyane Wade, hopefully will return with a stellar MVP performance season.  He had a quiet 26-5-5 over the New York Knicks.  Hopefully his shooting percentage will go up.

Hometown:

The Sacramento Kings look horrible, with or without their whole team, with or without their rookie, Tyreke Evans, with or without Francisco Garcia, with or without stellar performances from Jason Thompson, Spencer Hawes, and Kevin Martin.  They lost to Okalahoma.

Other Hometown:

The Washington Wizards, the other supposed “hometown” city team is starting to look terrific.  Gilbert Arenas looks back to his “hibachi” form, while the rest of the team seems to be upgraded with Mike Miller and Randy Foye.  Injuries will be a part of their outcome.

Yes, I know, similar teams.   Nellie needs to play Anthony Morrow cause I think he has the potential in being Most Improved Player.  Yi Jianilian is also in that category.  Hopefully, Courtney Lee wasn’t a bust cause he’s gonna get a lot of playing time in New Jersey.  Travis Law was picked because one monster game.  Troy Murphy was probably the worst 4^th pick of a draft, EVER.  Mario Chalmers better step up his game as a 2^nd year player, oh did I say I like the Heat? And their back court.  Derrick Rose is back for a better year, or at least I hope.

NFL

Hometown:

49ers look to beat the unbeaten Colts this weekend.  Good luck with that and your new quarterback, Alex Smith.  They did, however, look well last Sunday- Second half, against the Texans.  But it wasn’t enough.  The Crabtree looks like we shouldn’t have doubted him, nor should’ve held out on him.  We should’ve paid him, maybe? We’ll soon find out if he was lucky last week, or if he’s really as good as he says.  He looks kinda good though.

Raiders, you all need to go get a quarterback who wants to win. I think they should borrow Shaun Hill for a little bit, since their own QB, Jamarcus Russell, can’t even take blame for their losing.  He only takes blame for the wins. Haha How homo.

Other Hometown:

My boy Joe Flacco, also looks stellar this season.  Better than his rookie campaign (which was amazing).  The Baltimore Ravens need to step up their game just a tad, just because they’ve been losing by hairs to great post season teams.  They face Denver’s undefeated record this weekend, and are 3^rd back in their division to the Bengals and Steelers. 

Haha, I don’t even consider this a hometown team.  They’re in the same boats as the Raiders.  I never claimed Raiders either, but anyways.  The Washington Redskins are such a big disappointment.  I think they have extraordinary pieces like Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, and Merryweather. But something is not right.  Jason Cambell > Demarcus Russell but they’re still struggling.

My boy Tom Brady looks to be getting that 16-1 form again.  Hopefully he’ll do 7 TDS coming back from the Bye in next week (not this weekend, BYE).

"Let's go Red Socks Lets go."

I heard the second home to the Boston Redsocks was in Baltimore. I didn't believe it. I should've though, cause I finally experienced it. The Orioles were hosting the Redsocks, and you bet, I was there. Red and Blue shirts filled the stands, maybe 5 for every single black or orange shirt for the Orioles. That was only the beginning. During the game, with every strike out from Lester, or every hit by a Sock, came clapping and cheers. When the baseball themes came on, guess what you heard. "Let's go RedSocks lets go!" And when we sang the old Baseball theme song from Jack Norworth in the middle of the 7th, "Take me out to the Ball Game," guess what you heard at the Camden Yards. "Let me root, root, root for the RedSocks."So I guess the media was right, there is another Fenway Park, not in Boston. My, how that would make the Orioles feel bad. Give these guys a break, they have the worst record in their Division, and their home isn't exactly home when hosting the Redsocks. The second game of the series on Saturday, September 19th, was probably the best out of the three. The First game of the series, the Redsocks beat the Orioles 3-1. And the last game, The Redsocks led 7-0 before finishing 9-5.

The second game however was closer...well at least the first 6 innings. Lester surrendered a couple home runs, making the game a tight one. The Orioles actually led 1-0 and 3-2. But that would be it. The RedSocks did some damage in the second inning, takinga 2-1 lead. After trailing 3-2, the 6th inning is where the Orioles allowed two consecutive home runs. My were the Red Socks a sight to see. It's amazed me the most how a single bad night of personal problems, could lead to such an amazing experienced event. On top of the good game, the tickets I had were in the second level behind third base, which isn't too bad for a late reservation seating. And on top of the top of that, The section was "All you can eat" the whole game. Yes. Free hot dogs, popcorn, soda, peanuts, nachos, and ice cream sandwiches. All in all, the game was well worth the 55 bucks and drive.


Could you believe the 49ers are 2-0? Yeah, I wanted them to make it. But they actually are. They defeated the 2008 Western NFC Champions and runner up Superbowl players. But here the All-Run, no Gun, 49er's beat them, fair and square, 20-16 on their first season game. I was lucky enough to see the final 5 minutes thanks to Fox and the late - game running. If it weren't that, I'd probably only read the highlights. The second game, which was yesterday, was even better. I wasn't lucky this time, but I did see the highlights thanks to NFL.Com. And I was able to see Frank Gore for two 79+ runs against the Seattle Seahawks. I guess they were trying to make up for first game's rushing stats. Frank Gore was actually in the Washington Post as this weeks best performance. So apparently, San Francisco is back on the map (for now) at 2-0, where they will next face Brett Favre and the Vikings. I think this game will be a real test, as we'll be able to see where they stand...I knew this way before, but man I love Patrick Willis and the defense.

On more NFL updates, the Jets backed up their talk against Tom Brady aka MVP, and the Patriots. Unfortunately for my Boy Brady, he suffered his first loss since 2007... or was it 6? I dont' remember exactly. And the "local teams" won as well. The Redskins (not a huge fan) won 9-7 against the Rams, and the Ravens (bigger fan) beat out San Diego. The Bills won with T.O (amazing), and the Cowboys lost their Stadium opener on a last second Field goal by the Giants. The Vikings won with A.P rushing less than 100 yards...Saints scored 40+ points again to start 2-0. Jay Cutler got out of his funk, and helped the Bears win this weekend. Surprising losses: The Pats, The Steelers, The Cowboys, and the Titans (2-0).
