I'm back!

I’m back! Better than ever, fully recharged and reloaded with more of everything. So much has been going on since my last post, but conversely, there is so much more to come. 2015 promises a lot in the world of sports. Baseball is slowly going the way of boxing and horse racing and the people in that sport don’t even see it. College football has their first playoff and so far its been a success on every level. Track and field is going to have a big year in 2015, and with some new faces and the return of some old ones, I expect some great competitions this summer.

The Super Bowl is looming, both of my favorite NBA teams-the Knicks and Lakers are horribly, woefully bad and the University of Kentucky is assembling another all-star college basketball team to challenge for the title.

Lets not forget the UEFA Champions League, where several teams are vying for supremacy in the greatest club competition on the planet.

So where to begin?

Well, I think I will start with some fearless NFL predictions:

Seattle versus Green Bay, New England versus Indianapolis.

I really admire Russell Wilson and the way he carries himself on the field. That Seattle defense is starting to look like it did last year, and Kam Chancellor in particular (seen here)

 is playing like a man possessed. He has become the modern version of Ronnie Lott; a safety that puts a lick on you early and often and just takes opposing wideouts out of the game mentally.

Green Bay is a very good team, frankly I did not expect them to beat Dallas (that BS rule that cost Dallas a score on 4th and two helped!) but they did. I cant see them beating Seattle though. 24-17 Seattle wins.

Patriots against the Colts? New England can start making Super Bowl plans right now-I give Indy no shot of beating them. None. I expect a beatdown with at least one Revis interception and two Gronk endzone dances. 35-17 Patriots.

And for those who follow and enjoy the NBA, here’s a question:

If an all-alumni tourney was held with current NBA players, who would win? My money would be on the Kentucky pros. A potential team that would include John Wall, Demarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis would be very hard to beat.

And one more thing: Oregon wins their first college football title today. 

See you next week!
