The Last Gasp
One more week left in the regular season and the dust is finally starting to settle. The AFC's 6 spots are locked except for the "who plays who". The Colts & Bengals wrapped up the remaining 2 wild card spots & the Ravens clinched the AFC North. The NFC has 2 spots open after a mean performance from the surging Seattle Seahawks that clinched a playoff spot for them. The Skins & Cowboys will duke it out for the NFC East Title. Minnesota, Chicago, & surprisingly the New York Giants are all still alive for the final...

Pacquaio sparks a Meme frenzy
...ya know....there are only a very select few events that can cause the internet to go completely nuts in a meme/youtube frenzy. For example...how many Street Fighter editions of the "BusDriver Uppercut" did you watch???.......exactly....
The lastest "meme" craze comes from Pacquiao's latest loss to the hands of Juan Marquez. This KO was one that Manny could do nothing about. Counter-hits normally are accidental blows but still....if you get knocked out....hey...you get knocked out.
And so....I decided to have a little fun with this as well..................by...

MEAC Picks Week 10
HAMPTON AT HOWARD 1PM
Hampton....poor, poor Hampton. What is going on at your home by the sea. Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed. Quickly.
My Pick: HowardBCU AT MORGAN 1PM
BCU & its band are heading north this weekend to contend with a much improved MSU squad. Check this, MSU is better than the standings show. Very close, and i mean very, close losses vs NCCU, Del State, Howard have pretty much closed the door on MSU's title hopes BUT make no mistake. This team is no pushover. Still im taking my pick for MEAC Champs & 2nd best...
Giants 29 - Cowboys 24 (6-2)
.......Something about this game...just irks my nerve. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the W anyday. But lets be real clear....the Giants limped to the finish line in the one. You cowboys fans can say we got lucky, won by an inch. *Shrug*... I'll take that too. But here's my understanding, in an NFC East matchup, no lead is safe, and there is no such thing as a guaranteed W. You must work for 4 entire quarters or you will be going home with an L.
This...

My Meac Picks: Week 9
Missed a week but hey, such is the life of an engineering student. Anyways lets get right down to it.
Thursday Night Game:
Delaware St @ Morgan St, ESPNU 7:30
This should be one highly anticipated Thursday matchup as both teams push for the MEAC championship. The bears (3-4, 2-2 MEAC) are essentially facing an elimination game as one more loss would put them out of the race, barring a major meltdown at the top. The 1 point loss at the hands of Howard last weekend in DC should have the bears fired up, but I'm expecting Nick Elko & the hornet...

Giants 27 - Redskins 23 (5-2)
Mannnnn, this game had me ready to drop dead. Alfred Morris & RG3.....are some grown ass men! Each rookie is consistently showing their worth on the field. It pains me to say we have to play them again. And twice every year in the NFC East. SMH SMH SMH
The Giants running game was held tame but both Bradshaw & Brown found the end zone one time a piece. The Defense did their best job trying to contain RG3, but hey, guys as talented as that you can only hope to limit them from making scoring plays. Because explosive players make explosive...

Giants 26 - 49ers 3 (4-2)
In what was expected to be a very physical slugfest from the two NFC title match contenders from the previous year turned into a beatdown Sunday. Man I had no clue this was coming and it is a good sign looking forward to this hellacious schedule.
The offense did not put up high powered numbers, but it was balanced and effective. Eli completed just 15 for 193 and 1 TD and Bradshaw racked up an impressive 116 yards on the ground. Just a few issues getting the ball into the box in the red zone again. That WILL come back to get us in the future...

Week 7 MEAC Picks
Since this is a new blog, I'm just gonna jump right into it. Last week was.....probably the screwiest weekend in MEAC play all year. NCCU beats SCSU.......badly. FAMU goes up to DC to bring home an L against the Bison. MSU & NCCU are both 2-0 in conference play. Its a strange year indeed. The games this week will be a precursor to what should be a great week next weekend. {NSU/BCU, SCSU/FAMU}
Sooooo here goes......
Norfolk State @ Hampton: {Battle of the Bay}
In what seems to be a game merely for pride as both seasons are pretty much over...
Giants 41 - Browns 27 (3-2)
Something about these slow start, early turnover games bother me. As the season progresses we're gonna have to be the team that jumps out to an early 14 point lead in the first quarter. As a team they responded well after going down 14-0. Eli continues to impress early in the season. Building a rapport in these young receivers will bode well should anything serious happen late in the season. The O-line doesn't get enough credit for the work they put in blocking for Eli & Bradshaw. There's something real special about the team this...

Eagles 19 --- Giants 17 (2-2)
Giants cannot catch a break. I don't even know how to start right now. Typical NFC East, down to the last possession game, right? Yerp....it sure was. I could post numbers, stats, turnovers, etc etc etc but it doesn't matter. Why? Because a string of calls that could have went either way honestly. The offensive pass interference that was called really was the difference maker in the game. As we all saw the kick was short, the 10 yards the Giants were moved back was CRITICAL.
.....but...like in all things in life....shit happens. In this circumstance,...
Giants 36 -- Panthers 7 (2-1)
Two guys stick out to me the most in this game....one I called...the other, totally surprised me. Andre Brown was the person I saw stepping up in a major way. After Bradshaw went down in the win against the Bucs, Brown ran with some authority. I just knew if the O-Line could create some lanes, he'd handle the rest. And he did just that, like a grown ass man. Now this gentleman, Ruben Randle....who the hell gave this man permission to go smack in like he did?? At 6 foot 6, this guy played like a real top notch veteran, racking up more than 100 yard...
My First NFL Game..... (9/20/12)
Never...and mean NEEEEEEVERRRRRR would I ever picture my first NFL game being in some club level seats. And I never would've thought that I'd be going to a game this early in life. But mannnnnnn I am so glad I was able to have the opportunity to come to the Giants/Panthers game yesterday. Like...blessing is an understatement........true loss for words at the experience. From the time I got out the car (major shoutout to Kierra for bringin me to Charlotte from da boro) to when I was boarding the train back to school, I....was.....JACKED UP!!! Big...
Giants 41 --- Bucs 34 (1-1)
Welllll damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....this game me ready to hit the damn panic button....EARLY!......Eli showed he could move the ball against the Bucs D. HOWEVER, everytime he'd make something happen.....he'd make it disappear. Three 1st Half interceptions is really hard to overcome......luckily Eli and the rest of the team are some troopers. Also luckily the bucs struggled moving the ball all game, which gave us a chance.
BIG....BIIIIIIG BIG BIG praise goes to A. Brown....the RB who filled in for Bradshaw when he suffered his neck injury. I now feel...
Football is indeed....back!
All bullshit aside this was a hell of a weekend for some football America. From major BCS college ball, to good ol HBCU ball, to the NFL....there is nothing better for me to say than...Football is ba...
Cowboys 24 -- Giants 17 (0-1)
As usual...I try not to put the first game of the year into great consideration. But when that game is against the <b>LAST </b>team in the world you wanna lose to, what more can ya do but hope, pray, beg, plead for that W. Unfortunately for the GMEN tonight.....that didn't happen. I saw alot of things I liked, but even more things i didn't like, and some things I just had to understand.<br />

Welcome
I've decided to move all my sports blogging, NFL, HBCU sports etc over to its own particular blog...Why??? Because sports is just that damn important to my life. Here I'll try to keep it mainly to just the sports and the stats behind it......
Over the days you'll see me start to redesign the site to my liking. Bare with me folks.....
