What a boring game to start off the NFL season. The Redskins O-line was horrible. They let the Giants run them over with the running and passing game all night. The Giants played very well spreading the ball around. Eli looks very confident and so does all of his teammates. The Giants could of shutout the Redskins but some stupid plays led them to score a touchdown.

The quarterback of the Redskins, Jason Campbell seem to be out of sync with everything. He doesn’t seem to know what is going on. Their running game is horrible and this made Clinton Portis look bad. We all know Clinton Portis can run and play but if their O-line doesn’t hold up and block for him, he’s not going anywhere. If you noticed towards the end of the game, the Redskins O-line had missed blocks and let the Giants defenders come running through and tackling Portis so easily. If Jason Campbell doesn’t get his act together and lead this team, you can kiss their season good bye. The crucial part of a team is their quarterback. If the quarterback doesn’t perform well and make the right choices and the right time, then everyone will feel vulnerable.

Eli Manning shocked me. He played very well and seems to have a lot of confidence and very poised. The New York Giants proved a lot of people wrong tonight. I’m sure everyone thinks that they won the Super Bowl was just pure luck but I think they’re out to prove everyone wrong. Their defense is really good and their O-line is surprisingly good. The lost of Michael Strahan, the Giants seem to be doing well so far. I guess we’ll have to see in Week 2 of the NFL season to see how they do next.

What a great 1st half for the Spain team. The Spain team is on constant attack against the Germany team but let some chances get away from them. They could of scored 2 or 3 goals if they set it up right when they’re deep inside by the goal. If the Spain team keep doing what they did in the 1st half, they’ll win this Final. I like how they keep attacking and passing the ball very well. If they can control the middle field, they’ll win the game.

What are the German team doing? The goal keeper made a bad mistake on chasing after the ball and let the Spain score on an empty net. Germany better step it up or else a lot of fans will be disappointed! I think the German team will make a comeback and probably end this game into Penalty Kicks. The Germany team must move the ball quickly and keep attacking.

Jesus! Was it me or did the referees jacked the Lakers on foul calls? Everyone on the Lakers had either foul called on them when it shouldn’t and then when there’s a foul the referees didn’t call it. Hmmm something isn’t right here! The foul trouble kept the Lakers star players on the bench and couldn’t really do much because of it. The Lakers were down almost 24 points and everyone thought the game was over and guess again. The Celtics let their guards down and let the Lakers make a big run and bring the game within 2 points! How stupid is that? I don’t get how the Celtics or any team can let the other team come back from that big of a lead!

The Celtics had a great shooting game tonight and one of their bench players Leon Powe had the game of his life. He had 21 points in 15 minutes. He was a big factor to this team whenever he had a chance to contribute. If the Celtics bench can produce like what Leon Powe or even close each and every game from now on, they’ll have a great chance of winning the whole thing and make history.

Before the game even started, it seem like Kobe wasn’t really ready for Game 2. It might just be me but it really didn’t look like he cared much about Game 2 for some odd reason. Even though he was in foul trouble and really got pissed off that calls weren’t being made his way, he did OK. It’s just weird to me that the Lakers weren’t getting any calls and during some of the replays, the Lakers were really being fouled but the referees didn’t call anything. Maybe when they’re playing at home, they’ll get some calls going their way and not going to the Celtics. I can’t wait until Tuesday when they come to Los Angeles and play in Game 3 because it’s going to be Kobe time! Good luck and hopefully it’ll be an entertaining Game 3 at the Lakers!

I really never watch Soccer because I really think it’s boring. The only time I actually watch the sport is when it’s the World Cup. I had no idea that so many people are into Soccer. I went to grab some coffee with some friends and we drove into the coffee shop and all you can see and hear are people screaming and cheering on their favorite team! When we finally sat down and started watching the game,  it was just nuts. Everyone screaming and chanting Germany! It felt as if the whole building’s going to break and fall apart because people are jumping up and down. When Germany scored, it was just super loud. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t realized that there’s such a crowd that loves to watch Soccer. Gosh, it was fun and exciting to see everyone so into the game.

Who will win Game 2 tonight? What will the Los Angeles Lakers bring to Game 2? Will Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins be able to play well in Game 2 with their ” injuries “? Those are the kind of questions that many of us are wondering before the game starts. Did the Los Angeles Lakers get fooled by Paul Pierece’s injury in Game 1? Boy, did they get 0wned! The Lakers got to bring it to Game 2 and Kobe Bryant better be aggressive and take all the shots he can because if they don’t win this game, it’s going to give Celtics an edge in this series. The Boston Celtics must step up their defense and stop the Lakers tonight because it Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins are really hurt, that means the only scorer on the team is Kevin Garnett. I don’t think he’ll be able to do it all by himself.

The Lakers have to come out in Game 2 ready to play and take advantage of Bostons injured players. What are we going to expect from the Lakers tonight? The Lakers bench have to start helping out the starters or else it’s going to be a long series. If the Lakers take this game, it’ll put the pressure on the Celtics to win at the Staples Center.

I’m going to pick the Los Angeles Lakers to win tonight and take it back home to the Los Angeles for Game 3. Some people might think I’m crazy going against Boston but I think it’s going to happen. Kobe and Gasol will come out tonight and tear it up. The Celtics fans are going to be upset tonight because the Lakers will take one away from them! Go Lakers!

Congrats to the Los Angeles Lakers for winning and advancing to the NBA Championship. The Lakers are one series away from winning the Championship title. What a fantastic game for the Lakers who was down nearly 20 points and brought it back within single digit at the half. The Spurs are horrible when it comes to ending the first half. They blew the game and I think this might be it for the Spurs. I don’t think they’ll be be as good as before after this year. The Spurs are old and they’re playing against a young Laker team who is hungry for a title. I believe that the Spurs aren’t going to resign a couple of guys because they’re old. If the Spurs want a better team and maybe compete for another title, they better start looking for younger and talented players to replace guys like Robert Horry, Michael Finley and Kurt Thomas. What’s the next step for the Spurs? We shall see during the off season.

MVP! This guy is just freaking amazing. I don’t know what else to say about this guy except I hope he wins it all. I think the Lakers deserve to win the Championship title. He made some crucial and unbelievable shots when it counts the most. Kobe lead his team on a rampage and put a knife in the Spurs heart. Again, the Lakers bench played very well and made some great shots when it counted. This bench have been very productive for the Lakers and they better keep it up. The fight isn’t over yet and it’s still a long way. I hope the Lakers aren’t celebrating yet! They got one more battle to fight and I hope they come out on top. Go Lakers!

I don’t even know where to start. All I got to say about this game is that Boston Celtics almost gave up the game. What were these guys doing the second half? Rajon Rondo was playing like he wanted Pistons to win. He was just throwing up passes where it’s so easy for Pistons to steal and score. The Boston Celtics didn’t play at their best in the second half and almost cost them the game. I was shocked that they won because I really though Pistons made a big push towards the end and was going to beat them at home. I can’t believe what I saw in the second half of the game from Boston. Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo played horrible and passing up wide open shots. What were they thinking? The Boston in the second half look like my high school basketball team! They made some crucial mistakes in turning the ball over towards the end and let Detroit have a chance to come back.

I think this series will be a 7 game series. IF Detroit don’t step up, they will go home crying. I am cheering for the Boston Celtics because they have a younger and hungry team to win a Championship. As for Detroit, they’re getting old but of course they can still play but if Boston keeps pushing and running the ball, I don’t think they can keep up. Honestly, I think it’s going to be Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers for the Championship title. Both team are very young and it’ll be a good series to watch. It’ll be madness! I can smell it in the air. I hope my prediction come true!

The Lakers are playing great ball versus Spurs. The Spurs are giving up too many second point opportunities and they’re getting killed on offensive rebounds by the Lakers. The only reason why the Spurs are still in the game is because they’re making their free throws. The Lakers had a great run before the half and their bench players are key to this series. Spurs came out of the half and had some great looks but then most of their star players are in foul trouble. If the Spurs really want to win this game, they better get Manu Ginoboli in the game and have him score. Manu’s having a very bad game and that means Tim Duncan and Tony Parker will struggle also. If the big 3 stars for the Spurs don’t play well and score, they whole team will suffer. If the Lakers keep playing the way they have been, they’ll probably win it all. This year, Kobe’s been a real team player to me. I always feel that he’s such a ball hog and that he only cares about scoring and making himself look good but I changed my mind after seeing how he’s been playing. He’s actually passing the ball and believing in his teammates. He seem to be very happy with this team and everyone’s playing well. He believes in his team and they’re showing that they can also play when it’s time.

I didn’t get to watch all the fights but here are some of the fights that I did see and wanted to share some thoughts about:

Tito Ortiz (16-5-1) Vs. Lyoto Machida (12-0)

Result: Machida wins via unanimous decision.

This was a good fight to watch. Both fighters were aggressive but the outcome was Lyoto Machida walked away with a lucky win. Lyoto controlled the fight through the whole match. Tito took a good beating by Lyoto where he had cuts under both eyes by the end of the second round. In the third round, Lyoto threw a flying knee kick and knocked Tito to the ground and from then Tito was in big trouble. Out of nowhere, Tito tried to pull off a crazy maneuver and almost put Lyoto in a triangle and then switch over and attempted an arm bar. Tito almost had him but then made a big mistake of letting go. I was pretty disappointed that he didn’t win this match. One little mistake cost him the match!

Christian Wellisch (9-2) loses to Shane Carwin (8-0)

This fight was just a classic and quick match. Both fighters come out and exchanged punches and then Shane Carwin connected one right in his chin and knocked him out. The referee stopped the fight because Christian Wellisch seems to be dazed and the way he fell to the mat, it looked like he was out cold. Christian’s mouth piece went flying to the mat when he got hit and the fight was stopped.

Wilson Gouveia (10-4) Vs. Goran Reljic (7-0)

Result: Reljic wins via TKO at 3:15 in the 2nd round.

I am just amazed of Goran Reljic. This guy is like the next Cro-Cop! I lost count of how many kicks he threw against Wilson Gouveia because it was too much. Wilson did well of defending Gorans kicks but how many kicks can he block. Wilson’s right arm was jacked up pretty bad. Wilson didn’t show any kind of pain but to me no matter how much you train for this sport, I don’t think a person arm can take that beating.

Wanderlei Silva (31-8-1) Vs. Keith Jardine (13-4-1)

Result: Silva wins via KO at 0:36 of the 1st round.

HAHA! Ladies and Gentlemens, Keith Jardine just got 0wned by Wanderlei Silva. That’s all I got to say about this match.

BJ Penn (13-4-1) Vs. Sean Sherk (35-2-1)

Result: Penn wins via TKO at 5:00 in the 3rd round.

I didn’t get to finish this whole match because I had to do something but from the first round I saw, both were exchanging punches and BJ Penn was winning. BJ Penn has some lightning jabs against Sean Sherk and I just don’t know why Sean doesn’t go for a take down or something. Instead he wanted to stand there and box with BJ Penn. Sean came out of the second round with some nice fast jabs but then I had to go so I don’t know what happened after that. Booooo!
