I’ve decided it’s time for me to get back to writing again. \u00a0I miss it. \u00a0You may not miss me, and that’s fine, but I’m still getting back to ranting and raving about Lebron James’ flops(got a little something to pick on him today), High School sports, the NFL, and anything else that falls into the radar.<\/p>\n
First, the NFL. \u00a0Robert Alford did his best Lebron James imitation yesterday when he flopped like he’d been hit by a sniper, after just a little push from Aaron Rodgers. \u00a0How funny was that? \u00a0The refs didn’t buy it. \u00a0Side note-Lebron thought it was great.<\/p>\n
I was pretty confident going into the playoffs that the Atlanta Falcons offense would be overpowering to any NFC foes. \u00a0I had zero confidence in Dallas, who barely beat my Vikings a few weeks ago, to get the job done. \u00a0It was also obvious that Green Bay’s defense wouldn’t hold up. What wasn’t so obvious is that Seattle would play so ineffectively. \u00a0With that thought in mind Patriots fans, you may want to hold up the trash talk for a bit, before thinking Super Bowl LI is all yours. \u00a0This Atlanta offense is crazy good. \u00a0And if they have one running back get hurt, they won’t be replacing them with someone over 30 years old(see Pittsburgh, although Williams was very solid and I like him). They have Devonta Freeman AND Tevin Coleman! \u00a0If I was Kyle Shanahan I’d run, run, and run some more against the Pats-keeping Tom Brady off of the field.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, the Patriots defense may be a little better than given credit for to date. \u00a0Everyone says, including all the so-called expert NFL analysts, that they haven’t played anyone. \u00a0Um, Pittsburgh has a pretty good offense. Even without Le’Veon Bell. \u00a0Antonio Brown was louder during his Facebook Live session in KC. \u00a07 catches for 77 yards! \u00a0That’s nothing.<\/p>\n
Right now in my head I see the game being high scoring. \u00a0I think it comes down to two of the great kickers in the NFL, Gostkowski and Bryant. Two clutch kickers that may have their name forever linked to “wide right” or “wide left” after February 5th. \u00a0I hope not, but for some reason I have a feeling that is how it’s going to play out. \u00a0I had a feeling going in yesterday that Atlanta was going to win, but I also was high on Pittsburgh-though I knew it would very tough for them to win in Foxboro. \u00a0I have a weird feeling that Atlanta might pull off an upset. \u00a0But, you’ll have to wait for my prediction and the eventual two-week show that some of the players will put on off the field, before I make my choice.<\/p>\n
High school hoops are about half way through the season, with some boys teams having played more than half of their regular season schedule. \u00a0I wasn’t there to watch it, but I hear tell that the Rutland boys team was as good as billed vs. St. Johnsbury Academy the other day. \u00a0I also heard the ‘Toppers played them very tough. \u00a0Playoffs will be very exciting, and upset filled I’m guessing, on the boys side. \u00a0As for the girls, most are just getting to the halfway point with St. Johnsbury Academy, Lyndon Institute, Windsor, and West Rutland sitting atop the VPA rankings.<\/p>\n
That’s it for me. It’s good to be back!<\/p>\n
