Can it really get any worse for the Cowgirls this year? With Romo down for atleast 2 months the Cowboys can't do much worse with Kitna. This team is such a disaster and with so much talent I don't see how you can only win 1 game. Apparently people thought Dallas had a defense coming into the season and they were dead wrong. They got abused by the Giants last week and I have to admit it was pretty damn funny. Without any defense it doesn't matter how many times Kitna can hit Dez Bryant for a touchdown. Im surprised it took this long to really get him in the passing game. The problem with the Cowboys offense is that if they throw it to one guy they leave the other ones out completely. Miles Austin and Roy Williams the 1 and 2 receivers combined for 3 catches 36 yards against the Giants all of which were actually to Austin. Jason Witten on the other hand had 9 catches 96 yards and a td and Dez Bryant had 2 tds reciving too. Austin has a big game Williams and Bryant aren't heard of along with the run game. Williams has a big game Witten and Austin don't do anything. The defense plays well and the offense doesnt show up. This team can't get on the same page and I think that starts with the head coach. I think Wade Phillips should be fired and they should give the job to Jason Garrett. What do they have to lose? They're already last in a division they were predicted to win by almost everyone and they've been grooming him ever since he got his offensive coordinator position. I know Jerry Jones said he wouldn't fire Phillips during the season but who really believes him? If Dallas can't get it done vs. Jacksonville on Sunday then he should be gone no doubt. Worst passing D in league should be a walk in the park for Dallas but who knows.
If anyone can win with a 1-5 team it's Jon Kitna. He got the bumbling Seahawks to the playoffs in 1999, Got the Bengals to 8-8 after being a disaster for so many years, and even though he started the season with the 07 Lions 6-2 and ended 7-9 he still got 7 wins and 4000 passing yards with the Lions and thats a tough task. It's gonna be tough for Dallas because their aschedule isn't too easy. I don't see how Wade Phillips keeps his job and I see 10 losses for Big Disapointment this year.

Kolb is Back, Vick is Out
Mike Vick is sidelined with a rib cartiledge injury and Kolb is back as the starting quarterback this week against the 49ers. I dont think the starting job is Kolbs but what if he plays well? What if Vick is out two games and he puts up the same kind of numbers he did last year filling in for McNabb? Do you then start Kolb or go back to Vick? Thats gonna be a huge dilemma for Andy Reid because he loves Kevin Kolb, he was the starter to begin the season and he lost his job because of injury which sucks. It's not right to do the same to Vick but if Kolb plays really well Andy is in a hard place. Maybe he'll end up playing both depending on the defense who knows. I would like to see Kevin Kolb play a full game this season to see if he is the same quarterback he was last year passing for over 300 yards in two games. Kolb better keep his head up and out of the turf because right guard Nick Cole is questionable. If he gets hurt again they're down to Mike Kafka and he doesnt need to be playing for another couple years.

2010-2011 NHL Preview
The East:
It's gonna be between the Capitals and the Penguins. Both teams are way better then anyone else the east has to offer. Even though the Flyers made it to the finals last year that was only because they caught lightning in a bottle with Michael Leighton. If he plays most of a season he wont be as durable in the playoffs and he just hasn't proven he's a top goalie. There are a few other teams that could give the Caps and Pens a run for the east crown. The Devils have Ilya for a whole season now but does Brodeur have enough left in the tank? The Rangers could have a Vezina trophy winner in Lundqvist and if they can just figure out how to score on a consistent basis they could be a really good team. On the downside Glen Sather is still the GM and is bound to make a bad move. Then there is the Canadiens who have an American captain(Brian Gionta go figure) and a big question mark at goalie. Is Carey Price going to go back to All-Star form? Or is Alex Auld going to outplay him like Halak did last year. Their whole season hinges on that. The Bruins may have the best team other then Pitt and Washington but after losing like they did in last years playoffs I just don't see how you can comeback from that. I think the Pens will end up winning the east but it wont be easy.
The West:
Unlike the east, the west is full of cup contenders but no team stands out more than the Vancouver Canucks. I think they'll end up coming out of the west because they have everything a team needs to win a Stanley Cup. They have the scoring with Henrik Sedin(Hart Trophy winner) and his brother Daniel along with Ryan Kessler. They have one of the best two way defenses in the league and one of the best goalies in Robby Luongo. Even with a really good team they were very injured last year and that could kill this run. Plus with the depth in the west its going to be difficult but i think they'll get over the hump and finally beat the Blackhawks in the playoffs en route to their Stanley Cup appearance. The Red Wings will be give them a run for the best record in the west. Lidstrom making his final run and Datsyuk and Zetterberg at the top of their games they could go far but that may all depends on how good Jimmy Howard plays. San Jose is always a good team and always seem like they can make a cup run but they always hit a road block somewhere in the playoffs which i expect yet again. The Blackhawks are missing half their cup winning team. Can they really return with this one? I don't think so. I'm not a believer in Marty Turco who has been a shell of himself for the past two years. Then that leaves the L.A Kings. A team that could be 1 forward away from a cup. Look for them to make a move before the March deadline to add the immense young talent on this team. They have 2 great defensemen in Drew Doughty and Jack Johnson, An awesome 1st line of Kopitar, Brown and Ryan Smyth, and a great young goalie in Jonathan Quick. If the Kings couldve gotten Kovalchuk I'd probably have them going to the cup but theyre still one guy away. I'm anxious to see if they'll pull the trigger on something but I think the Kings will be the most exciting team to watch this year. It'd be a great thing for L.A to finally have a hockey team again.
Stanley Cup:
Canucks over Penguins. It only took 40 years but I think Vancouver will raise the cup behind stellar goal tending and the twins.
Award Winners:
Vezina- Henrik Lundqvist
Hart-Alex Ovechkin
Selke-Pavel Datsyuk
Norris-Shea Weber
Calder-Tyler Ennis
Jack Adams-Alain Vigneault

Moss back to Min
Randys back in purple and the Patriots got a 3rd rounder so they're happy. The system that Belichick runs won't go in flames without Moss. Gives Belichick and Brady a couple towel boys and cheerleaders and he'd still throw for 3500yds and 25tds. The Patriots will be fine and theyre only looking towards the future, now with 2 picks in each of the first 3 rounds of next years draft.
Hopefully Moss could be the spark that Favre needs to get out of his slump. The Vikings need a number 1 wide reciever for Favre because Greg Camarillo just doesnt cut it. With Moss, Harvin, Rice(when he comes back) and Shiancoe Favre has all the weapons he needs along with AP and a great defense theres no reason they cant make a serious Superbowl run. I think Randy is going to have a great attitude going into this and his impact is going to be dramatic. I have a feeling Favre and Moss might be hooking up a lot in the end zone and they just might give the Packers a run for the NFC North crown. (Bears aren't gonna be there)
