Unless you completely dislike sports or do not even know the news around you then you have heard about Tim Tebow and this so called "controversial" commercial that will air during the Super Bowl next week. The commercial will discuss the topic of choosing life and I guess to some that is offensive. Really?? What is so controversial about a woman (Tebows mother) telling her story of her son and how she chose not to have an abortion when she was told it would be a good idea? She chose life and look at the life that she chose! Tim Tebow!!!
Tim Tebow is by far one of the most outstanding QBs to me. He is a great player in my opinion, but even more so I believe he is a great person. Just look at this guy for a moment: he has talent, popularity, good looks (ok I confess he is cute) and what does this college star QB do during spring break? He goes on missions trips..thats right....missions trips. Not to a place in Mexico to party, not to some place in FL to party, not to Paris or wherever else college students go on spring break, but on missions trips.
Tebow is the son of missionarys and his faith shows in the way he carries himself. He is not some stuck up QB who hopes to make it in the pros...he is a QB who has taken what he has been given and used it to help others and to spread the Word of God. Look at his face in each game and you will see a Bible verse written on it...and it is not always the same verse either.
I do not really believe that this whole made up "controversy" is about choosing life, but I think it is more about the way someine is living his life..as a Christian. You may say that I am making something out of nothing by that statement, but believe me if someone is trying to make something out of nothing it is the people who are trying to get that commercial stopped.
They argue that the commercial will suggest to teens and others that it is ok to go against the doctors and that it is a pro life commercial. They argue that a woman has the right to do whatever to her body. Well, yes, she does have the right, but remember one thing, what abortion does has nothing to do with her body. It has to do with the body of a little life..yes...I said life.
Why is it that any type of content that is inappropriate can be viewed on tv and any opinion that is "extreme" can be given as long as it does not have any "values"? Just something that has always intrigued me. So, this Super Bowl I will be watching for the tebow commercial and I will be proud that a woman chose to have her baby because her baby has touched so many lives and I believe will continue to touch even more lives.
I know this is a sports blog, but I just had to give my opinion on the matter. GO TIM TEBOW!!!

:(
Yes, as a Jets fan and as a perosn rooting for the Viking all I can say is :(. The jets look so strong anmd they played rather well, but towards the end of the game the Colts just proved how well of a team that they are. I still believe congrats are in order for Rex Ryan and the NY Jets for making it thus far and stunning their doubters. NY you should be proud!
Colts...you have done it again!! Going to a Super Bowl and this time with the guy who sat under Dungy! Congrats! First year as a head coach and off to the "big game" you go! Manning is by far at the prime of his game and this guy is dangerous...yes...dangerous!
The Vikings vs Saints game did not dissappoint the fans either! Was a "sit at the edge of your seat" type of game! Favre fell short, but due only to the turnovers that the Viking had given the Saints. On the last drive of regulation Favre could have won the game though in my opinion. He still had room to run and to get the 1st down and be withing field goal range with not very much time left on the clock. Oh well though...just was not their day to win.
Congrats are in order to the Saints as well! All year thry played like a winning team and it comes as no surprise to many that this team has a ticket to south Florida now. Except for the final two games of the regular season the Saints have been dominant. Brees is definately a star QB and a clear leader on his team. Happy for the city of New Orleans as their team goes to the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl this year will definately be a classic game in the making! Brees vs Manning! Will be a high scoring game, but look for the high scores to come toward the 2nd half of the game. These two teams know how to score and to keep the opponent on their toes.
I am looking forward to just sitting back and relaxing a Super Bowl this year. One where i am not sick to my stomach until the game ends...guess that is the only good part about having your team not make it!

Super Bowl???
Ok, this past Sunday and Saturday we all saw two great games. Well...depends on who you are a fan of I guess. Dallas played so well in order to get into the playoffs (played Philly twice) and then they sank. After getting the first playoff win in years and the first ever playoff win for Romo the Cowboys looked as if they never showed up last week. Sorry Dallas fans, but as a Giants fan I must smile and say "bye bye".
The Saints came into the their came ever so ready. The Saints proved all their doubters wrong by creaming their opponent. Maybe the Saints were just saving all of their energy for the playoffs and did not mind at all that they did not "finish strong". Drew Brees and the Saints definately have a hard game to play this Sunday though....Favre and the Vikings.
Yes, Favre and the Vikings. Does that sound weird or what? Just think about how all those Packers fans must hurt to see their QB who they have loved for years in a purple uniform instead of green and yellow. Favre may be 40 years old and the oldest starting QB in the playoffs, but do not let his age fool you...this guy still has it! He can still keep a play alive and do that move to the right as he waits for a man to get open....how can he throw so accurate on the move? I will never know.
The Vikings vs the Saints will be a game that you do not want to miss. Brees and Bush vs Favre and Peterson. As well as the Saints are playing I must go with Favre and the Vikings. Game will be extremely close and may even go into overtime. Two great QBs so we shall see which one marches into Florida in a few weeks.
Moving on to the Jets vs the Colts. The Jets vs the Colts is the game I am looking forward to the most. The team I wanted to win since the start of the playoffs has been the Jets. So many just laughed and said they could not do it, but the Jets have and they will do it. Read an article 2 days ago on how the Jets reminded the author of the NY Giants when they went to and won their Super Bowl....ummmm didn't I mention that in a previous blog? :) The Jets already beat the Colts earlier this year and one may argue that the Colts did not have their starters in during the entire game. Ok, true; however, what was the score even when the starters were in the game?
The Colts have the home field advantage for this championship game. The Colts played well in their last playoff game and have played well in the past. Manning has become one of the greatest QBs in the NFL and he is dangerous. He plays the game hard and always wants to do his best. Look for Manning to be on top of his game as he prepares to battle the Jets defense.
Jets vs the Colts will be a closer game than people think. In reality the Colts do not have any home field advantage because the Jets have played well on the road. The Jets are looking at the NY Giants and saying that they too can do what the Giants did...head to the Super Bowl and win it! So Sanchez and the Jets vs. Manning and the Colts....rookie vs. the Senior. Another close game for these two with the winner not being named until down to the wire. Battle of field goals in this game I think.
Well, enjoy the games!! Playoffs!!! GOOOO JETS!!!!!!!

Jets Maybe????
Ok, first some background knowledge of me...I am a HUGE NY Giants fan, but since they fell short this year I must go for the Jets. Why? Well, for some strange reason I kind of like them too. Yes, I know, miss never been to Ny but I cannot help but them. I am also rooting for the jets because of their QB: Mark Sanchez. For the first time in all my years of yelling at the t.v. a team listened to me. I told the Jets they needed Sanchez and they took him! AT LAST!!
You can argue that he is not the best QB, but you have to agree with me that he did help his team the last two games before the playoffs to get into the playoffs. Try being a rookie QB in the NFL and then on top of that know that if you lose then you and your team do not even get to go to the playoffs. I say that makes him good in my book.
Then, last week in his first ever NFL playoff game Sanchez and the Jets head into the Bengals home and beat them! Yes, I was very excited! I feel like this is my own...how do I say it...QB that I put in the Jets hands. Yes, taking too much credit!
Anyway, the Jets played so well and they were not even home. Tomorrow the jets must go to San Diego in order to continue their playoff run. Remember anoth team from NY that a few years ago came in as the wild card team as well? Remember the other NY team that went to the Super Bowl by winning playoff games on the road as well as road games to just make it to the playoffs? The is the NY Giants...who just happen to be Super Bowl Champs!
Oh, by the way, they share a stadium with the Jets. So, before you just throw the towel in on the Jets think back to that other NY team that did the same thing these Jets are doing. Yes, the jets are not the same team as the Giants, but they are also quite powerful. Look for a good and close tomorrow as the Jets fly into San Diego and they soar all over the Chargers. :)
Final score: 27-14. Ok, so maybe closer. Enjoy and GO JETS!!!!!

Playoff time!
Today the Saints play the Cardinals in New Orleans. The Saints play their first playoff game today. On the other hand, the Cardinals come off a huge victory last weekend. Only time will tell if that victory took everything that the Cardinals had in order to continue.
The Saints did not look very strong as they finished the season. Maybe they just got lazy because they knew they were "in". How the Saints play today will tell us what happened during those last two regular season games. (btw..touchdown Saints....guess they are back after all..game is still early though)
Who would I like to see win this game? Arizona. Yes, I know they went to the Super Bowl last year, but I think the Cardinals need a victory. Their QB Kurt Warner is probably going to retire after this season. Warner is a Christian and I would like to see him end his career with a Superbowl Victory...or at least another trip.

Upset about a surgery?
The NY Mets are not very happy that all star center fielder Carlos Beltran went ahead and had his knee operated on before a third opinion from a doctor. My dear NY Mets you are crazy. Two opinions already and both said to operate. The Mets are upset because they will be without Beltran for the first part of the season.
Well, why not get the surgery done now so when the season starts to heat up you have one of your star players back? A recovery is about 12 weeks and we are about 2 months away from Spring training. Let Beltran heal now and be back when you will really need him.
After all, if you have the proper players to carry the team untill "star" players get healthy again then there should be no problem. One player cannot carry a team. Hence, the word "team".
If the NY Mets really care about their players like they say they do the Mets should have no problem with Beltran having the surgery. In my opinion, he should have had the surgery months ago. A knee problem is not something that should be left (for the most part) unresolved.
Well, as a Mets fan I would rather see Beltran missing the first part of the season instead of the middle or last part of the season. If anything, I am upset that Beltran did not have the surgery during the off season. If he had it during the off season he would be ready for the start of this season.
Just my take on the matter.
