Let's Get Ready for Some Football!!!

Holla!

Okay, I've been a bit slow this month so far, but it's okay. I'm going to pick it up. Koho, I like the idea of a live blog from Malone's stag party. I think what I might do is bring a notebook with me and write down notes and the times that they happened and then post them on Saturday after the Mets game. We're still going to the game, right? How much do I owe and who do I pay for the tickets? Can I use my winnings from the home run league to pay for it? You all know I'm going to win, so you might as well pay me now, biotches!

This seems like a big sports weekend. We have Mets-Phillies, ND's first game, the Giants first game last night. Can it get any better? We'll see. Now onto the important stuff.

Giants Football preview - Here is the rule about winning the Super Bowl, you're not allowed to complain for the next five years. With the way the Giants won this past SB it should be 10 years. That was the greatest game I've watched so far in my life, better than when the Gmen beat the Bills. Better than when App State beat Michigan. Better than ND over Florida State. Better than watching the SEC stomp all over Ohio State. Even better than the Diamondbacks beating the Yankees. Now that's saying alot, ha ha. So, I really don't know what to expect this season. Last night's game was a snoozefest. You could have stopped watching after the Giants 4th possession because neither team did anything. I really really like the Giants defense and I hate to think what they'd be like with Osi out there. I don't think a team could score on us if Osi was out there. Of course this was a really bad Redskins team out there. They didn't have it together and looked bad all night. We'll know how good this defense is against the Cowboys when we play them. I liked the offense, I just think they're a little rusty. I was frustrated all night because we should have scored at least 35 points against that defense. The first four times we had the ball should have ended with a td but we just couldn't do it. At least we got the win. After last season, it really doesn't matter who wins the division, it just matters if you make it or not. I think the giants have a great chance of making the playoffs again but I also wouldn't be surprised if we went 7-9, so we'll see what happens. I like what Eli's done, but I think he needs to settle down a little bit. Also, where was Bradshaw last night? I watched the first half at a bar so I don't know if he was hurt or not, but come on. That guy was money last year! One thing that's really nice about the Giants is the fact that we have 1 great rb and 2 really good rb's. That should be our strongest position all season.

Now, onto Notre Dame football. Watch out guys, I'll probably write more about Notre Dame than the Giants. As everyone knows last year was bad. I thought it was going to be bad, but not that bad. And this year a lot of people think we'll be just average, most saying we'll win 6 or 7 games. But I'm here to say, the Irish will win at least 10 games, maybe 11 or 12. Now, the reason for that is the fact that the schedule is sooooooooooooo bad and most of the teams that beat us last year are worse this season. Honestly, we should have had this schedule last season, not this season. The only team that I think should be favored overed the Irish will be USC, the rest of the teams shouldn't be. I'm looking for Jimmy Clausen to have a HUGE season this year. Also watch out for Golden Tate, Duval Kamara & Curt Floyd at wide receiver. I really like our group of guys and think they'll put up big numbers. I also really like Kyle Rudolph at TE. He was the #1 ranked TE recruit in the nation last year and he'll be starting so we'll see what happens. I'm just wondering which running back will come through this year. We've yet to see one show that they will be the #1 back, but I have my money on Robert Hughes. I liked him at the end of the season last year. Now, I can also see the defense coming up big this year. I really really like our linebackers, with sophmores Brian Smith and Kerry Neal leading the way. Smith is a start and I think later in the season Neal will be. Also we have Maurice Crum coming back, which is big. Our secondary is really solid as they were in the top 5 ranked secondaries last year, which I was actually surprised about. I can see big things this year and lets hope the Irish will win a bowl game this year. Malone, are you ready for Irish football again???? I am!!
