NBA Katrina Relief / NFL is ON!!!

Quick note on more Katrina stuff. It's cool to see NBA stars come together to help out Katrina's victims. Check this article out on ESPN.com for some in-depth information:http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=bucher_ric&id=2159082

I think in times like these you contribute however you feel necessary, there are certainly 2 schools of thought. I'm definitely more impressed with NBA players working in the trenches than putting on a good show to raise money but to each his own. If I could, I would be down there, I would feel like I was making more of a difference than just sending money or supplies, however that does not mean sending/donating stuff is bad or not needed.

Its been a good opening weekend for the NFL, my 2 favorite teams did pretty good ,Steelers blew out the Titans, the Colts took care of the Ravens in the second half. I must say I was pretty impressed with the Colts defense, they even injured the Ravens quarter back Kyle Boller (hyper-extended toe, ouch!!), with that being said I'm not getting too excited because the Ravens offense isn't exactly what you would call potent (other than their running game but that looked awful last night, it was as if I was there trying to run the football).

Speaking of awful, how ‘bout Bret Favre, yikes!! He used to be one of my favorite players but right now it doesn’t look like he’s any better than any wet-behind-the-ears rookie (*cough* like his backup *cough*). Cheeseheads throughout Wisconsin have to be preparing for some rebuilding in the next few years, at least the rookie QB draft pick makes more sense. Green Bay fans, “El Queso esta viejo y podrido”, look it up… On a somewhat funny/sad/poetic justice kind of note, Favre blasted one of his receivers in training camp, the guy was attepting a TO trying to get more money from the team. Eventually Favre convinced him to stop the holdout and play out his contract…yesterday he tore his ACL, it has to be karma, oh and if you didn’t know the NFL is the only league that doesn’t guarantee contracts, which means the Packers can cut this guy tomorrow if they wanted to saying: “sorry buddy” *pats the guy on the but then kicks his wheelchair to the curb*. Don’t you see the humor in this? OK, I’m a sadist…

Monday night football should be very good tonight, I think Mike Vick is amazing and I absolutely hate TO (don’t get me started) so hopefully ATL can get the win. I’m thinking of firing up last year’s ESPN NFL game to play a couple of seasons, if anyone is interested in doing some Xbox Live during the week let me know.

More coming tomorrow…
