March Madness?

This years March Madness tournament hasn't been well to mad. Its been expected victories and expected losses. The teams that we all expected to be in the final four are in it and the teams that we didn't aren't. I look forward to the tournament for excitement, and heartbreaking games, and clutch wins. Their has been plenty of those but the victor, is always the favorite to win. The ratings for the teams have been pretty much telling the story. And the experts have been right. Which shouldn't happen during March Madness.
The less expecting teams are supposed to make a run at the championship. Maybe even win the tournament itself thats the fun in tournaments in general. Its Cinderella stories. How the least expecting team wins big. But its been the exact opposite. Which shouldn't happen. Maybe the final four will be better. And lets hope for underdog stories next year.

Sean Payton Suspened

Saint Head Coach Sean Payton has been suspend for a year. This is big news to any sports fan knowing how if the coach is gone more than likely the team will suffer. He was suspended for a "bounty scandal". The Saints gave players money injuring targeting players. Players targeted consist of Cam Newton, Kurt Warner, and Brett Favre. The defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was banned from the whole league. He was rumored to be the ringleader of the scandal. Giving the money to the players, and encouraging their violence. Football is a contact sport but the goal should not be to injure players while doing so. 
Sean Payton has appealed his punishment. Which makes sense, even though he did know of the scandal. He wasnt a full participant in it. Hopefully his appeal gets listened to because the Saints need their head coach.

Mike vs Kobe

When most people hear "Mike vs Kobe" they think Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. But this battle is Mike Brown and Kobe Bryant. The Lakers new coach (Brown) and the all-star (Bryant) havent been seeing eye to eye lately. Arguing in practice and on the court, Mike Brown even went as far as benching Bryant late in a game.
Thats no way to win LA's six ring in a decade. To win championships the coaches and players nust see eye to eye. And to win a championship your best player has to be in the game. They need to handle their differences work out a gameplan, and start to winning games. To get a high seed in the playoffs and get momentum heading into the playoffs.

Kyrie Irving: John Wall Remix?

Kyrie Irving is this years first overall pick. Went to Allstar Weekend, and is a tremendous player. A true rookie sensation. Electrifying his team the Cavaliers, and their fans. Highflying dunks, and alley-oop lob passes. He's Australian born and his dad was a professional basketball player. Kyrie is like no rookie the NBA has seen before. Except for John Wall.
Last year John Wall was the first overall, went to the Allstar game, and changed his team (the Wizards) he even changed the uniforms. John Wall was BIG NEWS last year. But this rookie sensation is Kyrie. Their both point guards, wear the same number, and explode at the basket. So are Irving and Wall going to be elite players?

Tebow and Manning Exchange

The Denver Broncos have been major this offseason. They came into the offseason with big hopes for their future teams. Going to the divisional round in the playoffs, and going 8-8 with their new starting QB Tim Tebow. But John Elway wasnt happy with Tebow to keep him.

So this offseason they got Peyton Manning for their new starting QB. Manning was released by the Colts and was the biggest player on the free agent market. He as signed to the Broncos for 96 million dollars and could really help the team. He could be a possible Hall of Fame QB maybe the best of all time from his former performances.

But with signing this amazing QB what do they do with Timmy Boy. Some wanted them to keep him as a back up but obviously the Broncos dont feel that way. They traded Tebow to the Jets and he might be a starter there. No one saw any of this coming. But sports are always unpredictable.
