Steeler fans reside in Hermosa

We decided to start are Sunday-fun-day down at the beach. I have been waiting to watch the Broncos play and today was the day. What better place to crash, then Hermosa beach. Chill people and great atmosphere. What more can a person ask for?

Well things changed in a hurry, little did we know, Hermosa is prime territory for Steeler fans. My luck, Broncos were playing the steelers today. Every bar we went, was filled with black and yellow. First of all, what the hell, I thought we were in California not fricken Pittsburgh.

Even if we were in Steeler territory, it didn’t matter. I was ready to pull off the best Tebow pose that anyone had seen. Luckily, the Broncos pulled it off and I was able to sport my prized pose.

Everyone might have been expecting the Steelers to win, but the Broncos had the win written all over their face. Determination and Tebows winning passes, led to a great outcome for tonights game.  

It was starting to look like Roethlisberger was going to keep a clean sweap, for on the road wins. His 31 yard touch down to Jerricho, looked like an easy way to win. Towards the end of the game, when passes needed to count, it seemed to be more fumbles and sacks then anything.

This game has left me thinking, will Tebow pull off this season for a win? No one can be for sure, but if they keep up tonights antics, they might have a Super Bowl in their near future.

For future reference, if you are a fan of the Steelers, then Hermosa beach is your spot. If not, then stay away or be prepared for a bumpy ride. I grant them this, they did have Steeler signs outside of the bar. I guess I should have noticed this before I entered, instead of after.

Kobe Bryant steps game up with Lakers

2012 Written by admin

Well, basketball has finally made it to our TV screens. It only took several months and several million dollars, to strike a deal. Most of the buzz, has been centered around the Lakers. Whether, it is drama on the team or just a rocky start, the Lakers seem to be coming together.

The Lakers have been the center of some controversy lately. First the loss of Lamar Odom to the Mavericks, which no one was happy about. Then Kobe Bryants steamy divorce, with long time wife, Vanessa Bryant.

The beginning of their season started with a couple of losses, but after airing out the players, they seem to be back to their old tricks. We might have Mike Brown, new head coach, to thank for this. Mike, didn’t seem to have the right stuff to lead the Lakers, but it seems he has proved us wrong. Kobe Bryant, has refused to comment about Mike, this might speak volumes after several more games.

Kobe seems to be improving his movement in his right knee, which he has had complications with in the past. Kobe underwent a knee procedure in Germany after last seasons blowout. During his last game against the Knicks, Kobe claimed to be feeling almost %100. Then he went out on the court and scored 28 points, we can’t argue with him.

They are now standing with a 2-2 record after their 99-82 win against the New York Knicks on Thursday. Kobe has averaged 27 points in the last four games. The first three games this season: Chicago he made 28 points, 29 at Sacramento and 26 against Utah. Last year he finished the season with an average of 17 points a game.

If Kobe keeps making his opponents look like high school players, the Lakers should be in good shape. The game has been good to Kobe and if age means anything, then we can’t wait to see him at 40.

Vikings might have Luck on their side

Dec24

Who thought that being the worst in the NFL, would work in a teams favor. Luckily, for the Minnesota Vikings, having the worst score in the NFL could bring them first pick for the draft.

I am a Minnesotan, we know better then most people, the Vikings are always doomed to fail. We want to believe other wise but, the years of countless mistakes show us the blinding truth. The Vikings suck. If we want to see a difference, we need to see a quarterback come our way.

IF, we don’t mess up our pick, we could be eligible to receive Andrew Luck from Stanford. He has become the number one pick for the 2012 draft pick and is said to follow in John Elway’s foot steps. The 6’4″ and 235 pound quarterback, has a total of 3,185 in passing yards and 35 touch downs.

Luck, looks to be already destined to be wearing purple and gold but, time will only tell.

With only 2 wins and 12 losses, it is possible the Vikings could screw this up. No one knows how, with players like Harvin, Peterson, Mcnabb and Ponder, the Vikings should have at least broke even. Being a Viking fan, we just have to believe there was a purpose for all these losses. The purpose being, receive Andrew Luck for quarterback.

Hopefully, we don’t choose some no name from an online graduate program. With that in mind, the Vikings can only go up from this point on. Here’s to hope that we stay at the bottom to get to the top. SKOL VIKINGS!

Packers experience their first loss

Dec19
2011 Written by admin

Everyone was experiencing a little bit of shock, earlier this evening. Packers ended thier winning streak (13-0), with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs(5-8). Green Bay has been one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL, earning 466 points, so far this year.

Aaron Rodgers has been having a phenomenal last two years and it just keeps going. Rodgers was not to blame for tonights 19 to 14 point loss. Despite the loss, Rodgers was able to hold perfect coverage, over the red-zone.  

If anything, the most disappointing moments of the night, was the last several minutes.

The strategy, milk the clock for the last several minutes and don’t allow Rodgers on the field.

The Chiefs decided to just kneel during the last minute, instead of showcasing talent on the field. This move was understandable, Romeo Crennel wanted to make sure they would be the team to beat the Packers.

It paid off, If Rodgers would have been able to bring his talent out for the last minute, it would have been different. The Chiefs red-zone coverage was only a mere 20%. Showing that the Chiefs lucked out, on their win and shouldn’t expect it next time around.

The Chiefs, bump in the road, won’t be anything to right home about. The Packers seem to have a full ride scholarship, straight to the superbowl, for a round-two, show-down.

Lion’s player in trouble…again

Dec12
2011 Written by admin

Ndamukong Suh, defensive tackle for the Lion’s, has been in the press lately and it is not for his playing.

During the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers, Suh was suspended from stomping a player. After his actions, you would think, Suh would want to take it easy and stay away from trouble.

On December 4th in Portland, Oregon, police reported that Suh had crashed his 1970′s Chevelle. Witnesses said they had seen two passengers run from the crash site. The police officer said the crash happened around 1:15 in the morning.

The officer reported that Suh was acting in good nature and there was no complications.

After it was all said and done, Suh was only suspended for two games. His actions towards lineman, Evan Smith, was excessive in nature and should have received a higher penalty.

Marked as one of the dumbest plays since Albert Haynesworth double-stomp in 2006. Suh, tried to give a lame apology, proclaiming  he didn’t mean too stomp on Smith.

When it comes to an apology, it should be genuine. Millions of viewers watched Suh’s raw reaction on TV. The people know what happened. Viewers don’t seem to be impressed with the way Suh and Jim Schwartz, Lion’s coach, glossed over the situation.

Detroit is known to have a tough demeanor, for being part of the mid-west American backbone but, this is ridiculous. Last time I’ve checked, the Raiders have been on good behavior.

You know it is bad, when you make the Oakland Raiders look clean, on and off of the field. Maybe, Detroit should start taking pointers.

Players need to be held accountable for their actions, just like any other person. The NFL carries the largest amount of viewers in the U.S.. Maybe it is time they start showing some class to their fans.
