Patroits Not Popular But Winners ...

NFL league MVP, LaDainian Tomlinson was upset over the Pats post-game celebration that involved mimicking Shawne Merriman's ode to Tony Manero of Saturday Night Fever. Now, say what you will regarding the unflattering depiction; and it was unsportsman like; however, there's only way to prevent such demonstrative frolicking-WIN THE GAME!

Winning solves everything, it always has; it always will!

Top Ten Nick Saban Recruiting Lines...

I'm no Letterman but here goes:

10. Life time supply to Uncle Pookies' Bag and Feed!
9. We got 12 National Championships, one for each Bama graduate!
8. Two a days refer to weekly class attendance!
7. All you can eat at Bubba's House of Pork!
6. We can beat Auburn...ok that's a lie!
5. Free direct deposit with illegal student athlete payments!
4. I can coach, just like my daddy--Paul "Bear" Bryant!
3. It's okay to date white women!
2. I'm a loyal coach, just ask The Miami Dolphins!
1. Hey, there's talk of a sequel to "Deliverance"!

I Love New York vs. Nat'l Championship Game...

It was tough! Watch Vh1 and the season premiere of "I Love New York" or watch Flordia and Ohio State in the National Championship Game.

Kudos to VH1, they offered something brand spanking new for the "other demographic" that don't quite understand why it takes 11 men to stop one guy with the football. Clearly, the Ohio State Buckeyes didn't figure it out either.

Yet, there was one glaring similarity, "I Love New York" had twenty men in the running; Ohio State could have used 20 men to stop the Gators offense.

Spend It On Beckham...why?

A-Rod can rest easy! No longer is the Yankee third baseman, the punchline for jokes involving 250 million dollars. Wow, I didn't know Major League Soccer had 250 million! Who knew!

David Beckham is the classic world sports star; the looks, the babe, the "extra babes" and oh yeah he's not a bad soccer player. But, he's the not best either. Once again MLS wants to force Americans to watch soccer in the stands and on the television. Does MLS really think adding Big D will significantly increase attendance and viewership? Of course they do, that's why he's getting 250 for five years.

"This is a huge step forward for the league, that we can attract someone of that stature means so much," New England Revolution coach Steve Nicol said. What Coach Nicol didn't say was Real Madrid really wasn't playing him so hey; lucky us!

Unless, there's a Beckham like player or two on each MLS team; fans will grow tired once Beckhamania dies down.

However, I am curious: will he sport the cornrow look in New England?
