Get ready for the Fantasy football playoffs. This week, we will have analysis by position-wide receivers, quarterbacks, running backs, etc.

     Don't forget,  I am taking an informal poll in this post election era for your favorite "Fantasy Sportsgirl". In the comment section just place the name of the girl that you have enjoyed the most so far during this season. I will try to get more videos from the winner to enhance your experience on this site. The voting will end soon.  As they say in politics-Vote early and vote often.

     What I am about to say here may sounds strange, or maybe not, but think about this solution to our BCS predicament.  This could clarify and validate the BCS selections, the National Title Game, provide some great excitement, set a precedent for that kind of excitement, and get the ball rolling toward a college football playoff.    

     All of this can be done without us coming up with a magical but complicated playoff system (at least not yet). The bad news is this may be too late for this year. I will admit also that I am not sure if NCAA rules would allow it. My personal experience has to do with sports like high school basketball and track, but if those rules are even similar, then this would be it.  A 2008 “Holy Grail” to fix questions such as:

So, enjoy your viewing of this video that is sure to bring you what you need and remind you of things that you want.

     Houston Texans fans, I know that you are down, but last week was a good one. With their first Monday Night Football appearance the Texans played great football.  Changes may be in the mix in the off-season as the rumblings have grown louder. In the meantime however, stay loyal and true to your team. After all, that is what makes a true fan. (Of course you could ask the Chicago Cub fans how that is working out for them.)

     The votes have been tabulated. The computers have crunched the numbers. The craziness that is the NCAA college football regular season is over and the bowl match-ups have been chosen.

 

     Unless you live on Mars or spend all of your time reading Teen Magazine, you already know that Florida will play Oklahoma in the BCS national Championship game. You probably also know that teams like Texas and USC will have to wait until the 2009 for a chance to win the trophy. In fact, there are SEVEN one-loss teams that could perhaps make an argument that, at the very least, their fans would listen too.

 

     There are also two undefeated teams that could do likewise. However, they have now been beaten down so long that they are like a dog at the pound.  They just want someone to pay a little attention to them. They don’t seem to care if they go to a home that abuses them, ridicules them, and treats them like an unwelcomed guest-they just want to be fed and watered every day.
