Just thinking about it makes me want to find someone to blame, preferrably someone whose name rhymes with Swiss Cod. But knowing of issues with depth and injuries...we'll just look over this skid. On Halloween, our nerves were pushed to the limit. Neither team had anything to lose and it made for a wild afternoon. That McCluster sure gave us a run for our money. I want to give a quick shout out to Mr. Okay, time for vacation.I really do wish things could have been different, and I am going to miss theexcitement of watching Brandon Marshall in a Broncos uniform.The fact of the matter is that Marshall does not fit with the Broncos. Several prominent players, including Tampa's Donald Penn and New England's Logan Mankins are available, and would look quite good in a Giants' uniform.The Giants have been desperate for an impact linebacker for years, and several impressive players dot this year's free agent class.

I think it goes without saying that The Streak remains intact, but it could be an awesome match and it's another opponent 'Taker hasn't fought at Wrestlemania before.That's my preferred build up to Wrestlemania, including the Royal Rumble results An alternative (less likely I feel) would be for Shawn to go on to win the Rumble, probably from a low entry number, and then 'Taker to later drop his title, probably at Elimination Chamber. While they surpassed my expectations, the fact that they finished sixth in the NFC instead of gaining a first-round bye (or even a division title) confirms my suspicions.DeSean Jackson had an amazing season.

Open champion Clijsters played an eloquent and fluid game to overcome Valerie Tetreault 6-0, 6-4, comeback queen and 2004 winner Henin was hardly ruffled in an imposing 6-4, 6-3 victory over her unlucky countrywoman, Kirsten Flipkens.If a tennis fan was looking for an upset from the men’s side as well, they had to be disappointed, because the men soon restored order in the day which was headlined by shock from the women’s side. In another example of an overrated Big Ten team, John Belein's crew came into the season as the 15th team in the nation according to the AP.Now?At 10-8, they're barely over .500 and sitting with Minnesota in the middle of the Big Ten at 3-3.While a recent win over Connecticut showed what critics must've seen in the team preseason, too many poor losses has crippled this team from national consideration.With Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims, the Wolverines looked to have a strong core coming into the season.Joined with former West Virginia coach John Beilein and notable shooters (a staple of a Beilein offense) Zack Novak, Stu Douglass, and Matt Vogrich, Michigan was once again looking to regain its status as a basketball powerhouse.But with the inability to find a solid supporting cast for Harris and Sims, and while the young "shooters" failed to find their shots, Michigan has suffered losses to Alabama, Boston College, Utah, Indiana, and Northwestern, and took a rebuilding Creighton team to overtime.With Novak finding his touch against Connecticut last week, they finally garnered a quality win, albeit against a team that I've qualified as a disappointment..
