So, with my new style, Mondays will be sports days on the blog. I'm just gonna jump around today, a lot is going on and I'm not paying real close attention, but, I do love sports.
First off, I don't care how you feel about Jay Cutler's attitude, but he's one tough dude. He tried to go back out in that game with that knee injury and it was clear that if he forced himself to play, it would have been bad news. Even if you think every athlete should play in the playoffs even if they're falling apart, if they're not going to help their team, then they should probably sit out. This would be the case with Cutler. Besides, some injuries effect players more than others. Knee injuries are terrible.
Otherwise, it seemed like both games followed similar formulas. The favored teams got out to strong starts and then held off comebacks. I did not see all of the Bears game, but that third string quarter back did an excellent job. That kid has a bright future. As far as the Jets go, they arrived to the game late. About 2 hours late. What a terrible first half, there's not much more to say. Well, maybe that Ben Roethlisberger, no matter what your opinions of his personal life, is easily the most clutch quarterback in the league. It's almost like he plays better when the play breaks down and all turns to chaos.
Alright, that's it for football, I'll make an uneducated pick for the Super Bowl next week.
Now, hockey's All Star weekend is coming up. I will admit, I love how gimmicky it is. The "draft" reminiscent of picking teams on the playground or out on the pond, is a pretty awsome touch. Plus the skills competition is pretty fun. Though, like most gimmicks, it's one of those things where its mostly just fun to watch it every couple of years. But, since we missed it last year for the olympics, this should be a pretty fun one to watch. Though it's a shame there'll be no Sid. He always seems to get injured this time of year.
That's it for today, I'll do more in depth stuff in the future and probably more looks into specific hockey teams and players and how they're doing. For now I'm out.
