What a game!
I have to admit that I did not watch the first half completely but I did watch from the half time on. Not sure what to think of the show during half time “The Who”. The light show was excellent but the music was pretty good. I can tell you one thing though - there was well over 10,000 (give or take a thousand) CSI fans in the house when the song “Who are you” came on. The crowd erupted with sing-a-longs for the entire song. I have so many favorite moments in the second half that I don’t know which one to post tomorrow. Come back tomorrow and see what I picked. Once again - Congrats go out to the New Orleans Saints!
With this being a moment for these two teams (Colts & Saints) to come and fight it out for the grand title he had to find it necessary to listen to his woman and let what she said get to him. Yeah I know that’s a whole lot of assumption but come on folks - the man has a short fuse as is the last thing he probably needed was his woman saying something out of place to get him going. Now I’m not saying that what he did was ok or even called for - what I am saying that he needs to control his emotions and try to walk away from certain situations.

MIAMI (UPI) – Former NFL All-Pro Warren Sapp was arrested by Miami Beach police after his girlfriend accused him of choking her, a police report said.
The alleged attack at the couple’s Shore Club hotel room in Miami Beach early Saturday occurred after they had been partying at the venue.
The unidentified woman also told police she was sleeping when Sapp pulled her out of bed and demanded she leave the room.
Sapp, a former star with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders, was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after both parties were questioned by police.
Sapp was released from the Miami-Dade County jail Saturday evening.
He was in Miami to provide TV commentary Sunday for the NFL Network at Super Bowl XLIV between Indianapolis and New Orleans, but The Miami Herald said he has been taken off the air until the network reviews the incident.
I was not able to catch this game due to some chores that had to get done that day but I did manage to get the news on Sunday that my boys pulled it off yet again. Keeping control of the game was key and the key holder of such an accomplishment would have to go to Glen Coffee, with his total yardage of 129 on 16 carries the 49ers were able to maintain that advantage. Now let’s not forget about Kory Sheets, with him putting in the final touches on an 18 point fourth quarter stomping by graciously running in the 5 yard touchdown to secure their win over The Raiders, Good Job fellas - can’t wait until the next one.
I was unable to watch the boys in red and gold play today but I definitely had a chance to watch the highlights of the game. Right from the beginning it looked like the Seahawks were going to dominate the game but the Niners made sure that such a thing will not play out the way Seattle would of wanted it to. The look on Mike Nolan’s face was one that meant business and not of defeat. The Niners went on to win the game in overtime with a gorgeous field goal by #6 Joe Nedney. Congrats to you all for getting that win in Seahawk territory. Watch the highlights below and see what you missed.

Today is the day where the two teams that outplayed, outlasted and survived all the other teams are about to go head to head on the game of the year. I have heard many color commentators mention that the Patriots are going to be making history today because of their current undefeated record. Now I have been repeatedly told by my wife as well as others that the Dolphins have accomplished that goal already back in 73. I’m curious as to why the local a well as national commentators haven’t brought that up to the light.
The only thing that is different in the two comparisons is the fact that the 73 Dolphins had a perfect season but their final record wasn’t the same as the Patriots. As you can remember the Dolphins had maybe 14 or 15 games before doing the impossible while here we have the Patriots doing the same thing except that they had to win two additional games just to keep the title as undefeated. Whatever the turn out/outcome will be I have to hand it to them for making it this far.
If the Pats win then they join the Dolphins in doing the imposible - if the Giants win then this will be a true accomplishment for them as a team, especially with young Manning calling the shots. With the Giants winning, the Manning brothers brothers can compare stories as well as the title trophy.

Lambeau Field could not of looked any more perfect then what it did today. There was nothing more entertaining then watching two good teams going for it all and move to the next step. They had a rough start but they found it within themselves to get the game going in their favor. I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s games to come and if what I saw today was just the beginning of a good football weekend then I definitely can’t wait till tomorrow.
BALTIMORE (UPI) — Jabar Gaffney pulled in a Tom Brady pass for an eight-yard score with 44 seconds left Monday, lifting undefeated New England to a 27-24 win over Baltimore. It initially looked as if Gaffney may have bobbled the ball while getting both feet down inside the left corner of the end zone. But a review of the play showed it was a touchdown.
The Patriots drove the ball 73 yards in 13 plays for the winning drive that gave them a 12-0 record. New England is seeking to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only team in NFL history to finish a season unbeaten. The Ravens (4-8), who came into the game as the fourth-ranked defense in the NFL, came close to regaining the lead when Kyle Boller completed a 52-yard pass to Mark Clayton but he was gang-tackled on the three-yard line on the final play.
I have to admit I did not watch the entire game but from what I saw on ESPN and other sports channels the last quarter was the one to watch. The last catch in the game for the Patriots was a bit questionable. A lot of people say that the catch was clean and good while a few others disagree and think that he did not have complete control of the ball. I have to give the Ravens a lot of credit on how they came and presented their A game. My hat’s off to Baltimore and their crew. They have shown us that although the Pats are a good team they can still be beaten regardless to who it is.
DAVIE, Fla. - The National Football League announced Wednesday Miami running back Ricky Williams can return to action late this month. Williams has been suspended since the 2005 season for violating the league’s drug policy.
“Ricky Williams was notified this morning by Commissioner (Roger) Goodell that he has been reinstated as an NFL player,” the league said in a statement. “Williams can begin attending team meetings and practicing immediately, but will not be eligible to play in games until Week 12 when the Dolphins play at Pittsburgh (Monday night, Nov. 26). The Dolphins will receive a roster exemption for Williams for up to two weeks when he begins practicing, starting no later than Monday.” Williams was suspended in April 2006 for his fourth violation of the league’s anti-drug policy. He then signed a one-year deal with Toronto of the Canadian Football League, where he ran for 623 yards. He missed two months of the 2006 season with a broken arm. His reinstatement to the NFL does not guarantee he will be on the Miami roster. Miami Coach Cam Cameron said Wednesday that he and Williams, “will sit down and visit.”
My wife might be thrilled to hear that her favorite player is back but then again will he make a huge difference in how they are currently playing? I hope that for the teams sake they try and improve their defensive team, because from what I’ve seen they need it pretty bad.
