Tim Tebow: A Clutch QB?

In Denver there are alot of hype surrounding their young ball club. Second year Quarter Back, Tim Tebow has won more than half of the Broncos games. While last year they lost more than half of their games. But, the difference is not only defense's play, or the new coaching staff. But their new "signal caller" Tim Tebow. But a different QB cant mean that much to a team right. Well , not only is Tebow a like able guy and the new face of the franchise. But he WINS. Of course every athlete is paid to win, but the Broncos are not a winning team. The cool thing about their wins is that more than half of them have come from fourth quarter comebacks, or in overtime. Its alot of pressure to lead a team from behind. That seperates the elite QB's and the average ones. Are you good in the clutch? Thats basically the business question for the QB job. And while Tim throws about 12 passes a game (and on average others throw 20-40 passes) he wins when it matters. As I said Tebow wins in the clutch. But not by leading the aerial attack. He runs for yards and touchdowns. He has a very different style of play but is he really a (clutch performer). Elite QB's win with the game on the line and Tim has been doing that. But is he really an "elite" player?

Peyton Might Win MVP

Recently the Colt's, All Pro quarterback had a neck surgery which kept him out of this season. The thing is when he played they made the playoffs every year but, without him they have lost every game. Which is amazing. You would think they would lose more games but not lose them all. The MVP award is giving to the the person that has meant the most to there team. And since with Peyton Manning the made it to the playoffs for 12 years straight. And now the are losing horribly I think they really need Peyton. No team feels as though they rely on one player but its obvious they do rely on him. And for that reason Peyton Manning should win the MVP trophy because he means the most to his team. Even though he didnt play

First Two Weeks ?!?!?

By: Elias Randall

            Everyone knows that the NBA is in a lockout. Well, if you didn’t know well know you do. Much like the NFL the NBA is in a lockout because the owners and players both want more money. Which is pretty much impossible. Thus, we are in this predicament now. But earlier they NBA announced that the first two weeks of NBA games would be canceled.

            To most its not that big of a deal right??? Wrong!!! Basketball is not like any other sports. It has 18 weeks in the season and the have a total of  82 games. So that’s a lot of games their missing in those first couple of weeks. Most of them being home games. Carmello Anthony (the all star small forward for the New York Knicks) say “I really don’t want to miss any games. All those home games taken away has a big affect on a player and a fan”.

Don’t Worry Phil’s Get Em Next Year

The Phillies are one the MLB’s elite teams but this year I can’t imagine them winning the World Series. All of the heartbreaking losses in the regular seasons, the injuries of starters, and the overall lower morale of the players. Something seems different about this Phillies franchise. In my opinion they have seem to lost their winning mentality. I just don’t see much mental toughness in them anymore.

They used to be one of the most explosive teams in the MLB. For me which is saying a lot, because I’m not even a fan of baseball like that. Though I don’t like the sport I would watch the Phillies to watch them win. I wanted to see Ryan Howard hit a homerun, or Shane Victorino speed around the bases for a score. Now when you watch the Phils you just hope they win.

Maybe it’s just that father time caught up with some of the players on the Phillies. Maybe some of the players are getting old and can’t play like they used to. No matter what the reason is they need to fix themselves mentally and then improvements will happen physically. If the ever want another championship they need to make some major adjustments and fast.

John Wall MVP??

John Wall in my opinion is the best player in the NBA. He was last years first round draft pick and had the same expectations as Lebron. John had a shoe endorsement while was in HIGH SCHOOL. He was thought to be the next chosen one. And I think he is.

Last year Derrick Rose was the youngest MVP of all time. John Wall just about equal to Derrick Rose’s stats and John Wall was not a starter at first. So, now being a “sophomore” in the NBA, I think John can do big things for his Wizards team.

Last year John Wall lost by one vote to Blake Griffin to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. If John can stay healthy and consistent he good be one of the NBA’s elite in about two years. He is like Rajon Rondo type of player. Passes the ball to get assists and keep teammates happy. But he also explodes to basket with highflying dunks, which electrify the crowd home or away.

John will and can be the best in the league. I don’t know any one besides Lebron James starving more an NBA championship. Most rookies focused on just getting noticed but Wall came to win. He has a winning mentality. Much like Kobe Bryant when he was young, and we all know where Kobe ended. Will Wall live up to hype????

Restoring the Roar???

The Detroit Lions franchise has been known to be a joke. In 2008 they went 0-16 not winning one game. But now the Lions have had bits of winning surges. Last year they won more games ever in the teams history.

This year they have had an undefeated start beating many good teams like the Dallas Cowboys. They said they were going to be a better team but very few took them seriously. But so far they seem to be going according to plans. 


Their receiver, Calvin Johnson say “ Were the best young team in the NFL,”. High expectations have been set for the Lions will they keep it up?????

NFL Lockout OVER!

Over the NFL offseason the NFL Owners and Players had a disagreement on who should get more or less money. The players wanting more and want the owners to get less. While the owners wanted more but wanted the players to get less. This situation lasted for alot of months, while during the time players and coaches (owners, gm's, commissioners, etc) could not have and contact with each other. So when the players and coaches should be preparing for the new season, they are just sitting around waiting for this all to settle. At first they were thinking about cancelling the new season but now the NFL has said the lockout is over and the season will begin late though. So, know traing camps start and teams prepare for the new season. What will this years season hold for us.
