Fearful of Philadelphia, Go Bills!, Carlos Boozer's Christmas present

Hello,

Just a quick blog today. Due to various family situations we are celebrating Christmas today.

With Christmas being tomorrow, most of the NFL games have been moved today. There are a lot of interesting games today:

1) The Battle of New York: Giants vs. Jets. Go Jets! Things I'd like to see from the Giants today. Manning throwing 4 picks, the Giants losing ugly and Tom Coughlin's head exploding arguing a call.

2) Dallas vs. Philadelphia: I'm cheering, sort of, for the Cowboys. But with their amazing ability to choke in big games, I don't have high hopes for their success. Don't be fooled that the Cowboys are playing at home or against a sub-.500 team, these Cowboys can still find a way to choke. As usual I won't be watching much, if any, of this game.

3) Denver vs. Buffalo. Tim Tebow is 7-2 as a starter, blah, blah, blah. Again I'm so sick of the Tim Tebow train. The cracks started showing last week when they were manhandled by the Patriots. With them going to Buffalo today, I hope the Tebow train is completely derailed. Although the only thing the Bills have to play for now is pride and a lesser draft pick. Obviously motivation will be a factor in
today's game. The Bills have little while the Broncos are fighting to make the playoffs. Strangely enough the team I'll be cheering for the most today is Buffalo. Go Bills!

Thanks Matt Barkley for coming back to the USC. I look forward for more good things for the Trojans next year.

Thanks Jake Heaps for transferring to Kansas. It does make me laugh that all of these Pac 12 teams he was rumored to possibly go to, he ends up with the traditionally bad Kansas. Yes I know the Jayhawks won a BCS Bowl just a few years ago and that their new head coach is Charlie Wies. However the Jayhawks are 55-67 over the last 10 years, including 2-10 last season. They ended the season on a 10 game losing streak. And as for Weis, he didn't win enough games to keep his job at Notre Dame! And he had the Notre Dame mystique working in his favor. What is he going to do when he has the Kansas football mystique, or lack thereof, not working in his favor?

Bulls fans, are you looking forward to Carlos Boozer's Christmas present tomorrow? He'll give you his annual lump of coal by disappearing in tomorrow's game. I don't know why people that know a lot about basketball, Bill Simmons, still think he's this great player. I watched him for many futile years in Utah. He could be a great player. However he doesn't have the heart or care enough to make himself so. He will continue to disappoint any team he's on until he's run out of the league in a few years. I guarantee he'll be cut or traded before his current Bulls contract runs out.
