The Greatest At Bat of the year!?!

Joey Votto should absolutely be the 2010 NL MVP. Not only does this at bat give a little taste of why he's been the best this year, but the only other person that has numbers even close to his is Albert Pujols. Depending on who has a better week, they seem to be neck and neck. Without Joey Votto, the Reds don't stand a chance at being in contention for the division crown this year. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are loaded with a talented pitching staff and another stud slugger in Matt Holiday.

Joey Votto gets my vote for NL MVP!

The Best Time of the year!!!

That's right everyone, the NFL season is just around the corner and I am once again, giddy like a school girl. As I begin listening to all the ESPN Analysts and reading about all the picks that the supposed 'Professionals' make each year I often wonder how much more they know about football than a typical fan; like myself. I realize they spend hours upon hours watching film and visiting teams to see how they are practicing and playing; but, I was also to look up some of their preseason projections from last year. Most of which was pretty ugly! Why don't the major sports news networks use the NFL pick 'ems as an incentive to keep your job. If my profession is supposed to be to predict who is going to win NFL games, you think that a bad year or two picking teams should put you out of business.

Better yet, have a contest that determines next years Senior NFL Analyst. God knows John Clayton isn't, well, the God of NFL. Have you ever read his articles... they are strictly based on his "feelings" and what he "thinks" is going to happen. For example, John Clayton at his best: "The more I think about St. Louis Rams rookie Sam Bradford, the more convinced I am he is going to be a top quarterback. The Rams might not start him in the season opener, but he'll play at least 12 games this season. "

So, he thinks about Sam Bradford, and he suddenly convinces himself that he will be a top quarterback?


This year I have decided that I will prove my superiority to the NFL Analysts in NFL football picks. Below, you will find my predictions for playoffs teams and Superbowl picks. Each week, assuming I keep up with this blog, I will post my picks prior to the weeks first game.
