2/3/08---Who ya got??

Well its that special day here in the United States...that unofficial holiday known as Super Bowl Sunday....or, as I call it....the day before I really go on my diet.  I say that because I know I'm going to totally go nuts eating all day, getting ready for the big game.

Before I give you my expert (cough, cough) prediction...a couple of other sports related items....okay, some of you might want to leave.....how about my Florida Panthers?
Having seemingly spent most of the season finding a way to lose games in the most agonizing ways possible, the Panthers finally won 2 straight games in come-from-behind fashion....first of all against former Panther legend Roberto Luongo, who onetime G.M.//complete idiot Mike Keenan traded to Vancouver for a cup of coffee....and we defeated him in a shootout.  The next night, we traveled up to Tampa to play our longtime rivals and defeated them by coming from behind and scoring a goal with about a minute and a half left in the game..  Mind you, the Panthers were not exactly known for their prowess in back-to-back games.  Let's hope things can continue on an upswing.

Also, how about a small round of applause for the Notre Dame basketball team which, after defeating Depaul yesterday (33rd straight home victory by the way) is now standing at 16-4 and in 2nd place in the Big East?  Who'd ever thunk it?  The Irish are lead by Luke Harangody, who is sorta like a white Charles Barkley.  He's just a load.

And, of course, this Wednesday, Feb 6th...is another unofficial holiday in the U.S....particularly if your a college football fan.  Its National Signing Day!!!
Its the first day that high school seniors can sign national letters of intent to play football for the college of their choice.  Notre Dame is looking good and hoping their going to finish up with a #1 class.  Fingers are currently crossed.

Okay, so tonight its New England going after NFL history by having a perfect season.
The New York Giants are on one hell of a run over the last month and are praying that QB Eli Manning doesn't have the brain freeze that most experts have been waiting for him to have.

My call?   New England shakes hand with destiny and is perfect.

New England:  35
New York:  17

Later,
Jeff
