Football

The football playoffs begin tomorrow and many have their favorites to win it all. In case your wondering, I picked the Packers and the Chargers with the Chargers winning the Superbowl. Just as quickly as it came, the NFL regular season is over and just a memory of moments of when your team could have done something different to possibly win that big game or make that big play. You will be stuck with those memories until August of next year when everybody feels a sense of hope that their team is the one of the year, but that's only true for one team's fans.

This is true for both of the bay area's teams with new young players coming into both organizations, though the players coming in for the Raiders were quite questionable. Both seasons, however, ended in disappointment as both teams failed to make the playoffs for the seventh straight year. One has to wonder how long people can stay patient hoping that the next season is their season when the previous year seemed just the same. This is the time when you weed out all of the bandwagoners from the true fans of teams sticking with them through thick and thin.

Changing the subject, the BCS National Title game was Thursday with Alabama surviving a late scare by the Texas Longhorns lead by their back up quarterback when their starter, Colt McCoy, was injured on the first drive running the ball and getting hit directly on his shoulder. He said it didn't hurt, he just couldn't feel anything. This was his last game in college, but he does have a bright future in the NFL, so don't expect this to be the last we hear from him. It is sad to see both Football seasons end but next year is hopefully even better than all this year had to offer.
