The First Sports Related Blog in a Long Time

Way Too Early Predictions:
1. Baseball will have instant replay. Some argue that Instant Replay will slow the game down, but that makes no sense, as was demonstrated by an Alex Rodriguez home run that was erroneously ruled a double earlier this year. The announcers on TV quickly showed a replay and, within fifteen seconds of the inital call, they stated that it was, in fact, a home run. The umpires debated for nearly eight minutes before calling it a double. Which is longer: 15 seconds, or 8 minutes?

2. College Football won't have a playoff. At least for another ten years. As much as the fans, the coaches, and the teams clamor for a playoff, the system won't be fixed, because it's making too much money.

3. Speaking of College Football, here's the Right Wing Prediction Staff's Pre-pre-season BCS bowl prediticions:
Rose Bowl: Arizona State vs. Ohio State
Sugar Bowl: LSU vs. Oklahoma
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. South Florida
Fiesta Bowl: Texas vs. West Virginia
BCS Championship: Georgia vs. USC

4. The 2008 World Series: Chicago Cubs vs. Tampa Bay Rays


A Note From Your Blogger
Okay, most my three-person readership knows that I'm a sports guy. Hockey and Football are my two favorites, followed by baseball, then rugby, maybe.

I'm not a basketball guy... except that I'll watch at most five games a year. The SEC Championship game, only if Georgia is playing. The NCAA Title Game. And Games 4-7 of the NBA Finals. This should clue you in on something... I'm addicted to Championship games.

I haven't watched an NBA game all year, but now that it's title time, I'll most likely be in front of the TV, watching, and in this case, pulling for the Celtics, just because I can't stand Kobe Bryant. I don't know why, he could be a fantastic person, but I just don't like him on the court.
