Sports View for January

 by: Leigh Douglas

As the NFL playoffs approach, we look back at our pre-season Super Bowl prediction. I think I’ll stick with Minnesota vs New England. (I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but it’s as good a bet as any other two teams.)

Now that Terell Owens has gone down, and the Eagles are apparently going to be overprotective of the rest of their starters; everyone is jumping off the Eagles bandwagon. Do not underestimate this team. Without Owens this is essentially the same offense that has gone to 3 straight NFC championships, and consider the competition in the NFC; does anyone really believe the Falcons are ready for prime time? Do the Packers have one last push for Favre left in them? Is Seattle ever going to stop underachieving? Are the Rams really back? Can the Vikings play any semblance of Defense what so ever?

If the Saints or Panthers back door into the playoffs, can they be taken seriously?

Is anyone else tired of Bill Parcels? Can you not already tell that all he’s going to do is quit again on yet another team.

Okay I official concede- Peyton Manning is the MVP of the NFL this season.

Does anyone really believe that Illinois is going to be cutting down any nets come March?

Not only will USC beat Oklahoma for the national title, but you can also take the over, as the Trojans expose all the holes in the Sooners defence.

Anyone miss the NHL yet? If you do, get used to it, it’s going to be a while, a long while.
