Unless Rose ultimately takes the team on his shoulders, don't expect the Bulls to replicate the success they had last year.BDetroit Pistons (11-24)/BFor a team that spent a lot of money this offseason, they haven't exactly proven that this was worthwhile spending. Jackie MacMullen: Always depressing to see her filling in for someone who actually knows what they're doing (J.A Adande).15. Ohhh boy.It was quite a race to end the NFL Regular season.Lots of angry fans (Indy, Houston) and plenty of fans who are relieved the playoffs are finally here (Dallas, Minnesota, New Orleans, Indy).Here is a look at the matchups this weekend, should be a great first round:New York Jets (9-7) Cincinnati Bengals (10-6):You may remember just a few short days ago the Jets putting up 37 points on the Bengals and not giving up a single point.Not only did the Jets shut down a good Cincy offense, they managed to “shut up” one of the biggest mouths in all of sports, Chad OchoCinco.Well, without a doubt, this game will be MUCH more competitive this weekend.Even though the Jets have a stellar defense led by shut down (or “shut up”) cornerback Darrelle Revis, the Bengals will be firing on all cylinders.Look for this one to be low scoring, both teams combined may not score more than 37 points.My Pick:Cincinnati 23New York 17Baltimore Ravens (9-7) New England Patriots (10-6):The Ravens made the playoffs by winning a “must win” game against the Raiders last week.The extra time for the starters allowed them to keep things fresh as well as shake some rust off, primarily for playmaker Ed Reed.The Patriots (who I liked as a playoff surprise) come stumbling into the playoffs and will be without their 1 playmaker Wes Welker.That could prove costly for Tom Brady and the Pats.If the Ravens can sustain some drives and put some early points on the board, they could pull off the first round upset.My Pick:Baltimore 26New England 24Green Bay Packers (11-5) Arizona Cardinals (10-6):It is hard to imagine, but this game seems to be the matchup of 2 “unsung” playoff teams.The Cards have kept their NFC West title under wraps and look to sneak up on teams like they did in last years playoffs.Even though Anquan Boldin has a bum ankle, the Arizona offense is still a scary matchup for most defenses.The Packers are the forgotten team out of the NFC North.Even though they have 2 losses against rival Minnesota, the Packers seem to be a legitimate threat to win it all this year.If Aaron Rodgers continues his great play, and Charles Woodson can take away one of the Cardinals WR’s, the Pack could be looking at a first round playoff win.My Pick:Green Bay 30Arizona 20Philadelphia Eagles (11-5) Dallas Cowboys (11-5):Another repeat matchup from last week.Even though the Cowboys have won twice over their heated rivals from Philly, this 3rd matchup will not be an easy one for the Boys from Big D.At some points in the game last week, Philly looked to be going through the motions, trying not to show the Cowboys too much.Crazy thoughtPerhaps, but I would assume the Eagles feel much more comfortable playing a team they are familiar with than one they have not seen all year.If Tony Romo and the Dallas offense can continue their consistent play, and the Dallas D keeps putting pressure on Mcnabb, the Cowboys could win their first playoff game since 1996.This should be the game of the weekend.My Pick:Dallas 27Philly 21 This article is also featured on JW Sports Blog.. Jordan Jefferson and Terrance Toliver are both coming back and this will give them a good starting point for their offense.They don't lose too much on defense this off-season either.. Fellow Clevelanders, if you haven't yet given up on 2010, it's time to let your bubble burst.While ownership hasn't publicly declared this season a lost cause, the team's sentiment was implicit in its decisions to trade Martinez and Cliff Lee.If Shapiro thought the Indians could contend next season, he wouldn't have dealt his two best players. 
Last year he won the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, and shared the William Jennings award with Manny Fernandez for fewest goals allowed. David Wright burst onto the big scene in 2004 when he slammed 14 home runs in 263 at-bats.Since then, D-Wright has become the face of the Mets franchise and a formidable force in the National Leage.He's a four-time All Star and a perennial MVP candidate.He has accumulated 561 RBI in his short career, to go along with a .309 batting average.He's also one of the slickest-fielding third basemen to man the hot corner.Wright won two consecutive Gold Gloves in '07 and '08.At 27 years old, Wright is considered the leader of the Mets.He's the guy that goes to the mound to spark a struggling pitcher.He's the first to talk to the media after a bad performance.He had a down year in 2009, but is plenty able to rebound to his prior seasons in 2010.. Give credit to the Wisconsin defensive line that contiunally put pressure on Miami QB Jacory Harris. Harris for his part didn't throw an interception, an area of concern all season considering his FBS high 17, but never looked comfortable in the pocket.He routinely held on to the ball way too long, hesitating and eventually tucking the ball and running; scrambling is not his forte and it showed as it seemed more of a running-for-his life sort of decision than a plausible attempt to make a spectacular play.The defense played poorly but still deserve credit for at least keeping it close since the offense time after time put them in incredibly bad position. Injured players or players who didn't make the 12-man playing squad but are still part of the team.Marquis Daniels, G/F, Celtics: three injury-plagued seasons in Indiana and now injured in Boston; versatile player who seems to spend more time recovering than playing; before he went down again was averaging 5.7 points and 2.1 rebounds.James Jones, F, Heat: played two seasons in Indiana, but didn't begin to show his stuff until he headed to Phoenix; now used sparingly in Miami, averaging 4.2 points per contest.Ike Diogu, F/C, Hornets: two stints and 72 games with Indiana, but didn't live up to potential; was playing well at the end of last season with the Kings and signed with the Hornets in the offseason, but will not play this season after surgery on his knee.. Obviously thought since this is my booking we can't realistically expect them to follow it. On instinct, little Rey slammed the door on his head dazing his muscle bound opponent giving Rey the chance he needed to hit the floor on both feet.The WWE Universe were on their feet screaming for Rey, screaming that he had done what many people thought was to be impossible for him do do and that was to become the number one contender for the heavyweight championship that belongs to someone that is very, very intimidating and that my friend is the Undertaker.I don't think Batista knew what hit him because he looked confused when Rey ran up the ramp and then it looked like a bell went off in Batista's head. Wins: 92 (3rd)Losses: 68 (6th)Win Percentage: .575 (3rd)ERA: 3.29 (7th)ERA: 118 (4th)WHIP: 1.186 (4th)Ks: 1348 (1st)K/9: 9.0 (2nd)2x All-Star1x Cy YoungAfter debuting in 2002 as a 21 year old rookie for the pitching starved Padres, Peavy quickly became one of the games best.By 2004, he was the unquestioned ace of the Padres staff, posting a 15-6 record while leading the NL with a 2.27 ERA.The next season, he captured the strikeout title with 216 and made his first All-Star appearance.His best season, however, came in 2007, when he won the pitching Triple Crown with a line of 19-6, 2.54 ERA, 240 Ks, and also had a NL best WHIP of 1.061 while taking home his first Cy Young Award.Peavy was dealt by the struggling Padres to the White Sox this past season for a package of prospect, and time will tell if that move pays off, but Peavy is easily one of the best the Padres have ever had..
Kent's James Tredwell has been selected as the second spinner on the tour ahead of the young Adil Rashid from Yorkshire. He's still tied for the most sacks taken in the league, with 50, but he's healthy going into these playoffs and has had one heck of a season. If they aren't careful, even Joe Addai could be a big factor in this game In the end, I have to pick the Colts for this one. You need to do this and that.' But these guys don't understand I learned you don't balance your weight the same way you balance your weight in boxing. Only once in its final five seasons did Shea behave like a HR hitters park (2008), and the other four seasons it was very pitcher friendly, ranking an average of 24.25 in HRPF.Like I said earlier, this does not mean that Citi Field is a HR hitters ballpark because you cannot conclude that after one year of ballpark data, however the numbers seem to indicate that Citi Field may continue to play as a fairly neutral park.Is This Just A Fluke Year For Citi FieldNow that weve seen how Citi Field behaved last season, is this just a fluke year or will it continue to show the same statistical trends In truth, this is impossible to know without more games being played, but when making decisions on whether or not players will rebound, we need to take our best guesses.Using HR data from Hit Tracker Online, I looked at all of the HR hit in baseball last season and compared them to all of the HR hit at Citi Field. Four straight run plays later by the second worst rushing attack in the NFL, and the Texans had taken the lead with 1:54 left.Hoyer came out for the final drive, as Bill Belichick wanted to get him some real pressure situation experience, and he converted one first down but missed an open Edelman twice on third and fourth down to end the day.The Patriots shouldnt have played any of their important starters, in my opinion; this game was meaningless for them Schaub and the Texans really impressed me.
What a turd.""I'm so sick of people using the word classless for playing whistle to whistle.""Maybe if Texas hadn't beaten UTEP 64-7 with Colt in the game."While most of the above comments referred to sportsmanship, whining, and name calling, here's what I believe should have been the debate. And now it is Westbrook who is leaving with destination unknown. This result will be a massive boost to Verdasco who reached a Grand Slam Semi Final for the 1st time in his career at the Australian Open 12 months ago. He would be best, they thought, batting fifth in the lineup behind two other powerful bats. So if the Royals had gone for a pitcher, if their long-time third baseman was just a few years younger, Gordon would have passed to the Seattle Mariners. Of course the players' roles will change as spring training goes on, but these players are the ones you should target anyway.Ok, so spring training is not for another few months and pitchers and catchers do not report until the month of February.
