This is a new feature I'll be doing every Friday. The top and bottom five sports related things of the week. Let's get it going!
Top Five
1.The hype for Sunday's game between the Patriots and Colts: Most things in sports get over hyped. This is not one of those things. In 88 NFL seasons two teams with records of 7-0 or better have never played. This should be a fun one to watch.
2.The Red Sox win the World Series: Wait a minute. There was a World Series this year? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Even though this years World Series had about as much excitement as a fat guy has going on a diet, the Sox deserve to be acknowledged for their dominating performance.
3.The start of the NBA season: New faces in new places, rookies to get excited about, players demanding trades. You got to love the drama that is the NBA. It should be a fun season.
4.New MLB managers: Joe Torre has moved on to LA, while Joe Girardi will fill his shoes in New York. Both seem like great moves. Wouldn't it be great if these two teams met in the World Series next year?
5.Henrik Lundqvist: In four games the Rangers goalie has allowed only four goals and has two shut outs. He'll have to keep it up if the Rangers offense continues playing poorly.
Bottom Five
5. Montreal's Media: Shame on them for heavily criticizing Canadians captain Saku Koivu for not being able to speak French. Just because he's the teams captain doesn't mean he has to speak the city's official language. That's like saying the captain of the Florida Panthers has to be a mildly racist senior citizen.
4. Opening night of the NBA season: Is it just me or did opening night in the NBA barely even make a glitch on the radar. Opening night of the NFL season is built up for weeks, and it's marketed to be a major event. The NBA should do something similar.
3. The Philadelphia Flyers: Apparently when the Flyers said they were gonna try to 'kill' their competition this season they weren't lying. Add two more incidents this week to the Flyers dirty hit list. And no, it's not a coincidence that the Flyers have been the only team to receive suspensions for illegal hits this year.
2. The NFL game in London: What a poor display of what's suppose to be America's most popular sport to our friends in the UK. A very sloppy game that will go down as one of the worst of the season.
1. A-Rod's announcement: What a bone head. Why couldn't he and his agent wait to announce he'll become a free agent. Doing it during the final game of the World Series showed no respect for the game. A-Rod has about as much class as a high school drop out.
Somewhere in the middle: Apparently Lance Armstrong is dating Ashley Olsen of the Olsen twins. Don't believe me? Check this out- http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20156021,00.html. On one hand you want to give the guy a high five, but when you really think about it, it seems creepy. Either way, Lance is a PLAYA!
Enjoy your weekend, and have fun watching the Colts and Pats!
