Will someone please remind Adrian Peterson that he is only a rookie. Rookies aren’t supposed to lead the NFL in rushing. Rookies aren’t supposed to set NFL single game rushing records. Rookies aren’t supposed to average 6.6 yards per carry or be on pace for 2000 yards rushing. Some please tell Peterson that.
Yesterday Adrian Peterson put on another show for us against the San Diego Chargers, rushing for 296 yards on 30 carries, setting an NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game. ADP (All Day Peterson) is a man amongst boys. He is making the NFL look easy. There’s a reason the Vikings took him 5th overall, but damn… I don’t think they were expecting this.
You’ve got to imagine that playing on astroturf for half his games is contributing to his numbers. ADP can just shread on the turf. He ran a 4.3 40 on grass, I can’t imagine what he is running it in the dome.
If Brady weren’t going completely nuts this year, Peterson would be an MVP candidate as a rookie. Well that and plus the Vikings have only 3 wins and not many MVPs are on losing teams. But anyways, ADP is having a season for the ages. This is once in a lifetime type stuff we’re witnessing. He has two games now with over 200 yards rushing and there’s still 8 games left to play!
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, then you probably know the undefeated New England Patriots are heading to Indianapolis to face the undefeated, defending Superbowl Champion Colts. The NFL couldn’t have set this up any better. We lucky fans get to watch a Superbowl and it’s only November!
The Patriots have been on a complete tear this year. They’re averaging some gawdy number, like 42 points per game. They’re also beating team by an average of like 25 points. The Pats are the complete package. /end Pats dick sucking now.
Then we have the defending Super Bowl champion Colts. Peyton Manning and gang are still at it. 7-0 again for the 3 years in a row now. They’ve had a few near losses (Tennessee), but just as the Colts have always done, they find a way to win.
We also have Bill Belichick vs. Tony Dungy. This year Belichick has been the edgier coach. Running up scores, being convicted of cheating and everything. Dungy is always the classiest, most real coach you will ever see. All week the two have been praising each other. No shots are being taken.
I actually like the Colts to win this game. They’re at home. They’re defense is 100x better then they were last year. And even being the champs, they’re still playing with a chip on their shoulder. With a victory they will be the undisputed best team in the NFL. But as a Jaguar fan, I have to root for the Patriots to win the game. We need the Colts to get knocked down.
The NBA is officially here. We’ve had two nights in a row where our TVs were filled with the familiar faces of Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming and Lebron James. It’s been a fun offseason this year. Kobe demanding to be traded, then taking it back, and now once again saying he doesn’t want to play for LA. The Celtics add big time ballers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to their rosters. And the Spurs did absolutely nothing in the offseason, yet they are still one of the favorites for an NBA Championship.
My team is the Houston Rockets. I’ve been a fan of them since I can remember, dating back to the days of Hakeem and Cylde Drexler. Now the Rockets have brought back Stevie Franchise to ball with McGrady and Yao. I really like the Rockets chances this year to compete in the Western Conference Finals. Their issue has always been health. When healthy, they’re one of the best teams in the league.
So with the season underway, I felt it’s only appropriate to give my NBA Finals predictions.
Coming out of the West, the Houston Rockets. Coming out of the East, the Boston Celtics. Winning it all? Houston of course.
