BCS system is "BS"

I hate the BCS, I hate it. How and why it is here I am not sure, I have done intense research on the BCS, and it makes less and less sense the more I look into it. Texas should play in the national championship game, to me it is as simple as 1+1=2. Texas beat oklahoma, they should be ranked in front of oklahoma. I understand that Tech also beat Texas so if you say Texas should be in front of Oklahoma then Tech should be in fron of Texas to, but it doesnt work that way in my mind. I see it as Tech stumbled, on the road, and got CREAMED by Oklahoma, I could understand if it was a close game, but it want competive from the front snap, which resulted in a turnover I believe. But still it should be Texas vs. Florida, not Oklahoma.

I am excited about the rest of the bowl games though, we got some intruging matchups. USC vs Penn, Utah vs. Alabama, Texas vs Teyroll Pyror (or Ohio State) I like the bowl games and am exicted for them.

I am happy that my Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cowboys yesterday, AMAZING defense, It is the greatest I have seen in a long time. They scare their opporents, you can see it, and now they know they are good, and they are willing to show it to the world It is awesome!

The Utah Jazz, not doing so good, it scares me that Portland and Denver are already ahead of us in the Division, but the injuries have been ridiculous. Everyone has been getting hurt and it is annyoing becuase i know they can play better than they are, I just wish we could get healthy. Lebron is scary good. He might be the greatest althelte ever. I mean even better than MJ, not yet, but he has the potiental to be better than him. I read a story a couple weeks ago, that said Lebron is still growing, He is still freaking growing, he is unreal; speed, size, will power, heart, shot, dunk. He is an amazing player. I am excited to see him play out the summer of 2010, I wonder if he goes to NY, or the Nets, or LA, Dallas, everyone wants him, and I think he will get a salary worth what he should be paid, he makes the team better, and more marketable.
Until Next Time,

Sports

I love sports. They make my days go by alot better. Every sport I love. So I thought that I would give my thoughts a little on each sports

NBA: Wow, the Lakers are sure looking good arent they? 16-1 record, and just crushing their foes. I am a Jazz fan, I love the Jazz, and to see the Lakers doing good hurts, because they have always dominated us. But the Jazz, I think they have a chance this year, they have had a lot of early injuries, Deron Williams missed most of the first 18 games, and now Carlos Boozer is out with a Hamstring injury. I kills me to see us not at full strength, but I think there is a light in this darkness. Because C.J Miles has absolutely been tearing it up while the others have been injured. That is a great thing, because behind D-Will and Booz, we have always had an on and off team. I would love to see some concinsty from our bench and role players.

NFL: This is the most unpredictable season I have ever followed. With Tom Brady going out in the first game, there has not really been one team that you just knew they were going to dominate. Most years there is a team you can kind of just look at and say ok, they are the team to beat, this year there are like three or four teams you look at and say, ok, you have some potential to be the champions. I like the Steelers, Giants, Titans, or Jets to win it all. Dont ever count out the Cowboys or Patriots though, they always have a way of sneaking up on you. I am so upset about this Plaxico Burress mess, I mean the man shoots himself in his leg. ARE YOU SERIOUS! how does that happen! It seems althetes in the NFL today have no respect for the game they are playing, Pacman, Tank Johnson, Larry Johnson, Plaxico Burress, Matt Jones of the Jags, constantly they are gettting in trouble with the law. I just dont even like hearing about it, I would rather just hear about how well they are doing on the field. Not how bad they are doing off it.

MLB: Winter meetings are about underway, and I see some crazy amounts of money being thrown around this winter. CC, Manny, Texiera, and Burrent could all see $100 million dollar contracts, that is insane amounts of money. I really am excited to see where CC will land, I dont see how you could pass up the richest contract ever for a pitcher from the Yankees, but maybe he really like to swing the bat, so he wants to stay in the NL. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

NCAAF: I hate the BCS, everything about it. It elimitnates some competitiveness of college football. I really like Florida and Oklahoma, I would really like to see them in the National Championship. I think they are the most deserving, well it is hard to say because Tech and Texas both are deserving, but I dont know how you solve it without a playoff. I am a BYU fan, and it pains me to say it, but Utah had a good season, they did what we could not do, and that was win the big games. Best of luck to them in the Sugar bowl, I am just glad BYU gets 500,000 dollars for them going, it makes it a little easier.

NHL,MLS: Sid the Kid is amazing! I don't usually like Hockey, but watching him and Alex(from the Capitals) play makes me actually like the sport. They should be paid the richest contracts ever for hockey players. MLS, My Real Salt lake didn't quite make it to the finals, but the Semi's is a good start and great for the fan base of Real, finally they have their own stadium to call home. I cant wait to go to a home game.
