Kevin Love or Blake Griffin at power forward?


So, most of you that follow the NBA and its players statistics would immediately say Kevin Love is the better power forward. Love averages 25 points, 14 rebounds, and two 3-pointers a game versus Griffin puts up 21 points, 11 rebounds, and zero 3-pointers a game. So you would assume both Love and Griffin are willing their teams to win, right? Wrong. Love's Minnesota Timberwolves are 9-11 and 11th in the west, as compared to Griffin's LA Clippers are 11-6 and 3rd in the west. But does this mean Love is a huge stat guy and not much of a winner? No. There is a big difference in the supporting casts of each team. The Clippers have two all-stars in Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups to round out their top 3, versus the Wolves have the young, questionable Michael Beasley and Ricky Rubio.

But what it comes down to is whether Griffin elevates his team with his energy and high flying dunks more than Love does with his steady 3-pointers and fundamental play. I am slightly unsure who I would want going forward, but I would give Griffin the edge at this point because of the intangibles he brings to lift his team to victories.

Where are the articles and news stories about PRATER??!! Tebow needs to point towards Matty P, and then to the sky...



The media is going crazy about Timmy T when they should be giving equal love to Matty P. Prater has kicked a respectable 4 game winning field goals (2 of which were over 50 yards) and one 59 yard game tying kick in the 7 wins that the Broncos have reeled off with Tebow starting this year. I might also note that 3 of the game winning kicks were in OT, and I'm not sure what the record is for most game winning OT field goals in a NFL season, but Prater has to be up there in the rankings. Could the lack of Prater love due to the fact that he doesn't outwardly show his religious beliefs, isn't physically imposing, dawns a mustache and tattoos, and is a kicker? Hmm...

3 basics of why the Broncos are winning: Established Run Game, Limited Turnovers, Solid defense/Pass rush



It's not complicated. The Steelers and the Ravens are consistently solid, and why? For the same reason the Broncos are winning right now.

Josh Cribbs playing running back?


It's been rumored by a local Clevland paper that he will start getting reps running the rock. Maybe take a quick look at your fantasy football waiver wire to see what his status is.

Let's not forget who the real FACE of this Penn State tragedy is: JERRY SANDUSKY!!


All I see and hear today in sports news is about Joe Paterno "Joe Pa" and the shame that he should have based on the sex scandal at Penn State; and I do agree with the fact that Paterno should have done more to end the situation. But, let's talk about the ACTUAL SITUATION, and who the ACTUAL CRIMINAL is here.

Jerry Sandusky is a sick, twisted pedophile who raped innocent boys and who's face should be all over this story, not Joe Pa's. At this point I think a lot of people might mistake Joe Pa as the actual criminal because of how much his face has been attached to every story about the scandal. All I'm asking is for our top media outlets to plaster the face of Sandusky on every article and news story instead of Joe Pa's. Sandusky is the true villian here and people need to recognize that.

Tebow is a joke? Not completely. The Broncos defense a joke? Pretty much...


Sure, Tebow's completion percentage is around crap percent (46%) and he needs to stop fumbling the ball (4 times in 2 games), but Tebow is averaging about 230 overall yards per game and has 3 passing touchdowns in 2 games with only 1 interception. These stats are not the worst I've ever seen. The Broncos poor defense can not be ignored as they gave up 4 touchdowns to the Lions, and are the second worst team in football giving up almost 29 points a game.
