Rob's Wild Weekend Recap- A Crazy Football Sunday
Giant Choke Job
This game looked like it was over, but things changed drastically. The Giants blew a 21 point lead with 7 minutes left in the game. Michael Vick went crazy, running and throwing the ball, as the Giants defense did a complete 180 from its performance the first 3 quarters. The Eagles also had a successful onside kick after they cut the lead to 14. The Giants found every way possible to blow the game.
Here is Vick's touchdown pass to tied the game at 31.
As shocking as it was that the game got to this point, the biggest shock was yet to come. When it looked like the game was guaranteed to go to overtime, the unbelievable happened. The Giants, whose special teams and punter have been awful all year, gave their fans every reason in the world to jump off the George Washington Bridge on their way home. I still do not know how this happened. Cover your eyes Giant fans.
The punter should be kicked off the team for not kicking the ball out of bounds. How do you allow DeSean Jackson to get the ball in his hands in that situation? Has he not watched film on him? All he had to do was turn on SportsCenter to realize that. I love how Jackson show boated on his way to the end zone. It was even better than the backwards dive from last week. He is so good and knows it, adding more salt to the wound. As bad as the loss was, the Giants would still be in the playoffs and a win next week at Green Bay would most likely clinch a spot for them.
This was not the first time the Giants lost to the Eagles on a punt return.
Jets Survive
This is what needs to be done when your offense is totally pathetic.
Brad Smith is the Jet's best offensive weapon as he gets them off to a great start.
Like usual, the defense allowed the Steelers to march down the field to begin the second half and score a touchdown to take a 17-10 lead. Surprisingly the Jets came back and scored their first offensive touchdown in 198 plays. To be exact, it was the Bengals game on Thanksgiving. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you in this video, they really did score. I forgot what it looked like too.
Nick Folk kicked a field goal to give the Jets a 20-17 lead and the defense actually stepped up to stop the Steelers. Jason Taylor decided to show up for a game.
Some might have thought the game was over, but this is the Jets. Why would they ever make a game easy on themselves? Lets allow Pittsburgh to drive 90 yards down the field. It was typical Jets defense as the pass rush was non existent and receivers were open all over the place. Would it be another last second loss by a New York football team? As every Jet fans heart beat accelerated to the point of bursting, they stopped them.
After this victory, my bet would be the loud mouth Jets are back (They were all talking about championships in the post game press conference). This was a huge win and most thought they would lose, but my advice would be to take the victory quietly and worry about beating the Bears next week. Everyone knows though, Rex is Rex, and he does nothing quietly.
The Giants and Jets are both better off making the playoffs as Wild Card teams because neither plays well at home. The new Meadowlands stadium is a home field disadvantage. The road has brought out the best in them, and that is where both will probably be in the playoffs.

First Half Disaster Cost Jets Super Bowl Trip
AFC Championship Game- Jets at Steelers
So much for WFAN's Craig Carton predicting a 23-0 Jet victory.
It's not your day when the other team has a 9 minute touchdown scoring drive to open the game. The Steelers totally bullied the Jets so called great defense. I lost count of the amount of missed tackles on Steeler running backs.
It might have been the most non-competitive first half I have ever seen in a football game. The Jets had one yard rushing. The Steelers had 135. On this touchdown run by Big Ben, he looked like Moses parting the Red Sea, as he was not even touched.
It actually got worse the next time the Jets had the ball.
The second half was much better for the Jets. Amazingly, they cut the lead to 24-19. Unfortunately though, they wasted so much time on their scoring drives as they looked confused and unorganized. There was no sense of urgency. Do they practice the hurry up offense? I also want to know why they were having so many problems getting plays called. They looked like a middle school team.
The Steelers were able to run out the clock with a few big completions by Big Ben. Here was the clincher.
This is now 2 straight championship game losses. Soon this story will become very old. New York is about winning championships, not losing in AFC championship games. I really hope Jet fans are angry about this loss and do not give some lame rationale on how they are happy with the season. On Hard Knocks Rex said they would win the Super Bowl. They failed and Jet fans should be angry. Losing to the Steelers was not acceptable. Do me a favor, win a Superbowl and then you can talk about how good you are.

High School Kid Refuses to Wrestle Girl
At work I was forced to endure a sexual harassment seminar, so I do not want to sound sexist, but the only wrestling between men and women should be in the bedroom. I know Saved By The Bell had an episode with a chick wrestling dudes, but that was television. Men should not be wrestling women in high school matches. I have no problem with girls wrestling, but let them wrestle other girls; preferably in jello or mud.
I do not blame this high school kid for defaulting his match to a girl. Most men were raised to never lay a finger on a girl. Did you ever hear of domestic violence? What happens if he accidently feels up a boob or a vagina? Sexual assault.
The poor kid was put into a no win situation. If he won, great you beat a girl. If he lost, ha ha loser, you lost to a girl. Have fun walking around the halls with that on you. High school kids are cruel.
Finally, I hate how they said the girl won the match. She didn't win anything, there was never a match. Just because the ref raising your hand, doesn't mean you won anything in the minds of others. Unfortunetly, this is the new America we live in. People receive recognition for doing nothing. That is how the 9th place trophy was created.

The Knicks are Terrible Again
The Garden used to be a place where teams feared to play and the Knicks were dominant. Now, teams excel at the world's most famous arena, and the Knicks struggle greatly. The Knick fans who had lots of hope for the season, are now losing it. I do not think we will be hearing anymore A'mare MVP chants for a while.
If they lose the Nets tonight, every Knick fan might start calling for Mike D'Antoni's job. He is not very popular after telling the fans to stop chanting "We Want Melo". The rule in New York is, never mess with the fans. If you do, and the team is not successful, they will murder you. Additionally, the team continues to play no defense, and it is fair to question if they will ever be able to win big under D'Antoni's style, even with Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo is a great offensive player, but he plays no defense. They might score 120, but will be giving up around 130.

NFL Divisional Round Recap
Ravens at Steelers
Will someone please pick up the football, you're all staring at it like it's a Vegas call girl. Never believe it when people tell you football players are not dumb.
Thank you Cory Redding.
Here is video proof that James Harrison is the dirtiest player in the NFL. Hey Flacco, what's the capital of Thailand?
3rd and 19th. Just do not let the receiver get behind you.
The Ravens secondary did not get the memo Antonio Brown even went a little David Tyree on this catch. This led to the game winning touchdown for the Steelers. Like usual, they find a way to beat the Ravens. I know people hate Big Ben and he is probably a huge douche, but he is such a money player.
Packers at Falcons
Please don't throw it, please don't throw it, please don't throw it. Damn it!!!
That's what happens when you get too greedy. Should have just kicked the field goal. This play potentially turned a 21-17 Packer half time lead, to a 28-14 half time lead. The Packers then opened the second half with a touchdown to put the nail in the Falcons coffin.
I love how the Packers told Brett Favre to peace out because they knew Aaron Rodgers was better. Best move they ever made. Rodgers is an assassin. He made the Falcons defense look like they should be playing in a Powder Puff league.
Seahawks at Bears
No video for this one. Don't be fooled by the Bears only winning by 11, this game was not competitive. Hey, for a 7-9 team, Seattle did well for themselves by winning one playoff game. For the record, the Packers are gonna f up the Bears next week.
Jets at Patriots
Let the talking begin. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Who would have thought the Jets would beat New England after losing to them 45-3 a few weeks ago?
Even though they did not score points (Some how Davis Harris got caught and Nick Folk missed a chip shot field goal), this play changed the entire game.
Where was this defensive effort all season? They actually hit Tom Brady all throughout the game. It is about time they introduced themselves to the opposing quarterback. Major props need go out Shaun Ellis who had two sacks and was all up in Brady's face the entire game.
This touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes was huge because it came right after the Patriots drove down the field to score a touchdown and converted a two point conversion.
First Manning, then Brady, and now it will be Big Ben. We will see what happens. I can't wait to see what Rex will say this week.

Knicks Keep on Rollin
The Suns basically replaced Amar'e by trading for Vince Carter who might be the most overrated player in the history of the league. No wonder why Steve Nash wants out. As a Knick fan though, I am very happy with Raymond Felton and do not need the Knicks to trade for Nash, which I doubt they would do anyways.
We also wondered how the Knicks would respond after losing Gallinari for 2-3 weeks. They have responded with wins over the Spurs and Suns where they scored over 120 points in both games. Obviously the offense has not suffered as it has allowed other players on the team to step up.
They are now off to L.A to face the Lakers on Sunday night. Not a bad way to end a football playoff weekend. The Lakers have been struggling greatly and now might be the best time to face them. Hopefully they will not get their game back when seeing the Knick uniform.
I was hoping for a 2-2 road trip, but after winning the first game, the possibility of better results is more realistic. Regardless of what they do, this team continues to prove they will be in contention all season.

Knicks Light Up Spurs
The Knicks now go on a 4 game West Coast road trip. On their first West Coast trip of the season, they were very successful, but the competition will be much tougher for this one. There are no Clippers and Kings to make life easier for them. They will face some of the best teams in the West. It starts with Amar'e returning to Phoenix, followed by the Lakers, Trail Blazers, and Jazz. Is 2-2 possible? Why not. They have played well all season on the road and have proven they could compete with any team in the league.

Best of YouTube 2010
The Best of YouTube 2010
2010 was a great year for YouTube videos. We are all sad pathetic people who have nothing else to do in life besides watching funny and entertaining videos on our computers. Some videos are unfortunate for those who have not learned everyone is watching and the camera is always on.
There is not much more to say about this video. Almost every joke has been made. We now know Rex's favorite positions on the team are punter and kicker. Ha Ha. My question is, how do you allow this to be put on the Internet?
Sorry, but I only recognize that woman by feet and not face.
Tucker Carlson is a complete tool. He is a Christian that believes in second chances, yet stated Michael Vick should have been executed for killing dogs. That makes sense. I love how he has to thrown it in your face that he is a Christian. Who freakin cares. This is why I never watch Fox news. Go back to Dancing With the Stars, loser.
Excellent teamwork fellas. I'm sure the white guy in the middle is going to be able to break this one up. Where are the security guards? There was more action here than most current day boxing matches. These guys are roommates too. Maybe Renardo Sidney (the fat one) is upset because some of his cookies were missing from the jar back in the dorms.
Gilbert Arenas is not the brightest guy in the world. NBA players having guns is quite ordinary, but storing them in the team locker room might not be the best idea. Add in the fact it is Washington D.C and the President of the United States attends games their. Gilbert the terrorist? He would have the best crack at an assassination attempt. You would think after this incident he would keep a low profile, but my man Gilbert really wanted to spit in Commissioner David Stern's face with this move.
It does not all have to be criticizing and making fun of others. Here is a highlight real of my new favorite player in the NBA, Blake Griffin. Sucks for him though that he plays for the Clippers.
Here is my other favorite player. Amar'e posterizing the queen. I think that dunk took some more hair off the already receding LeBron James hairline.
This is one of the more crazier endings to an NBA game, highlighted by an amazing game winning buzzer beater.

The Eagles Screw the Giants Again
First they come back from 31-10 in the 4th quarter to beat the Giants- That was like having the crap beaten out of you, but you are still breathing.
Last night when the Giants needed the Eagles to win, they lost to the Vikings at home. This just proves that you can never depend on a division rival to help you out. The Eagles executed them Jack Bauer style.
The Giants needed the Eagles to win because it would force the Bears to play hard against the Packers on Sunday. If the Bears beat the Packers, they would be the 2nd seed in the playoffs and get a first round bye. The Giants would then make the playoffs if they beat the Redskins. If the Packers beat the Bears, they are in the playoffs, regardless of what the Giants do against Washington. The Bears now have nothing to play for because they are almost guaranteed to be the 2 seed. I would be shocked if the Packers do not easily win the game, leaving the Giants on outside looking in.
The Giants have themselves to blame for not making the playoffs. They blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead and got destroyed by the Packers last week. Their collapse is almost Met-like. It will be interesting to see the fall out from it.

Knicks vs Heat- Part II
I really hate Miami. They are the worst sports town and their fans are a joke. All you see when you watch a Heat game is empty seats. It is not just the bad seats either. All throughout court side and the lower levels are vacancies. They are one city that does not deserve to have a championship caliber team.
Unfortunately, the Knicks are not good enough to beat them right now. They fought hard and continued to come back, but missed key foul shots and could never get key stops on defense. It was not even LeBron, but Wade who the Knicks could not stop. Every run made by the Knicks was halted by a Wade basket. Give the Knicks Carmelo Anthony and this match up becomes a lot more interesting.

Slow "Footed" Defense
It figures when the Jets offense plays well, the defense is awful. The Jets defense shouldn't have bothered to take the field in the 3rd quarter. It looked like a game of two hand touch. I don't think they covered or tackled anyone. Drew Coleman and Dwight Lowery can't cover my grandmother. You could say the defense was a foot slow.
Luckily the Redskins beat the Jaguars, clinching a playoff spot for the Jets. Jet fans can now relax and not worry about a desperation game against Buffalo to make the playoffs. I already had them losing if that happened. That is just how a Jet fan thinks.
None of it will matter though, if the defense does not improve. At this point in the season, I do not see how it will. Rex the defensive genius has done nothing to solve it. In my opinion, they have no chance of going to the Super Bowl. Additionally, they better hope to play Kansas City and not Indianapolis in the first round. Their defense has no chance against Peyton Manning. I have a feeling, regardless of who they play, it might be a one and done scenario.

Basketball on Christmas Day
It has been years since I was excited to watch basketball on Christmas Day. It feels like the good old days of the 1990s. It also helps went the Knicks are relevant.
The first question I asked when turning on the game was why the hell are the Knicks wearing green jerseys? They look like the Celtics and I hate it. I understand teams want to sell jerseys, but any Knick fan who would buy a green Knick jersey, should be removed from society. I want them in their home whites when playing at the Garden. None of this fugazi nonsense.
For the first time in my life, I will root for the Lakers. I actually hate the Heat more. Let's go Kobe. Let's go Phil. Let's go Jack.
Why is Portland and Golden St. a Christmas Day game?

Rex Ryan Quiet?
We finally learned how to shut Rex's big fat mouth. All it took was embarrassing video's of his wife as a foot fetish model, including the infamous video with Rex behind the camera. Great job disguising the voice. No one will recognize your loud mouth.
Rex is usually a ball of laughs with the media at press conferences, especially after Jet wins, but carried a much different tune today.
So Rex, Why so serious?
My question to Rex would be, how is it a "personal matter" when your wife put these videos on YouTube? Once it is on YouTube, it is open for public discussion. Were the two of you too dumb to realize that?
I am a little disappointed n Rex. I expected him to embrace this and come out barefoot or something crazy like that, but instead he wimped out with his "personal matter" response. Just to keep count, he said personal matter 5 times and personal twice.

LeBron Beats Down Knicks
The hype existed from the very beginning.
I know some Knick fans took it personally when LeBron chose to go to Miami, but it was really the Cleveland fans who had the most legitimate beef. Despite that, it is always good to see how welcoming a New York crowd can be to someone they think burned them.
An exciting first half concluded with both teams even at 57. It was not Amare, but Gallinari who carried the Knicks. Both teams went back and forth giving the fans their moneys worth.
The second half was a totally different story as Miami dominated the game on route to a 22 point victory. It seemed like LeBron did not miss a shot in the 3rd quarter. I do not think the booing had any affect on him, and instead motivated him to play at a higher level. After a rough start, the Heat have won 11 in a row, and look like the juggernaut team most predicted them to be.
Gallinari, Fields, and Chandler are nice players, but the last two games against the Celtics and Heat proves the Knicks need Carmelo Anthony. With Carmelo, the Knicks will have the ability to compete with the top teams in the league and be a title contender.
I would have no problem if they traded two of those 3 players to get Carmelo, but will that be enough? The Knicks need to hope Carmelo only intends to sign a contract extension with them because if not, other teams have better packages to offer Denver. The Knicks are improved, but many fans including myself got too carried away. Ten years of garbage basketball can do that to you.

It Just Got Worse
The Phillies have shown they are willing to do everything it takes to win. The Mets have done nothing. How is it that the Phillies can go out and spend money and the Met's can't? Oh that's right, our excuse is we have too many bad contracts, so we will sit on our asses and do nothing. Why not just move the team to Kansas City? I am still waiting for Castillo and Perez to be thrown off the team.
The Phillies get Cliff Lee and the Mets get Boof Bonzer. It's a no contest. Met fans should be really excited they are going into the season playing for second place. Go out and buy your tickets. With that starting rotation, the Phillies are a lock to win at least 95 games. The Mets will be lucky to win 75. Every day I question my insanity on why I root for this team.

It Sucks to Be a Met Fan
I know ticket prices were reduced, but not low enough to get fans excited about any of those acquisitions. Why would anyone go to Citi Field? They can give away tickets and people still will not go. We see the Yankees, Red Sox, and Phillies spend money and put all star teams on the field. As they shop at Tiffany's, the Mets decided to go to the Thrift Shop. This is New York and they need to show the fans something to excite them; giving them a reason to go to the ball park.
They have a new general manager in Sandy Alderson, and he has come out openly and said the team can not spend money because of all their bad contracts. He has also hinted even when these bad contracts come off the books, it is not guaranteed they will put the money back in the team. My question is, why should any Met fan have hope? What are they doing ? Are the Mets now following the "Moneyball" philosophy? All I know is the Oakland A's never won a World Series and do not play in New York City, charging high prices for tickets and running their own television network. The franchise truly just does not get it.

Angry Captain?
Regardless, Jeter is back at short stop for the next 3 years. Despite a down year, he is still better than most at the position and the Yankees are not the Yankees without him. I couldn't imagine Jeter being on another team. My guess is he will use all the negativity and talk about his age to drive him to have his normal Derek Jeter season next year. He is a proud player and there is still a lot more game left in that number 2 jersey.

How About Them Knicks

Angry QB
I always enjoy the post game press conference meltdown. How bad do Cardinal fans wish Kurt Warner will come out of retirement? They are awful and Derek Anderson shouldn't be in the league. Fans that spend their hard earned money to see their team play love seeing their players yucking it up on the side line when getting blown out. Don't these guys realize the cameras are always on them?
