Ottawa looked like they were going to be one of the worst teams in the league, then they went on a 6 game winning streak. The Bruins won the Stanley Cup, and have looked like the worst team in the league. Cats and dogs living together mass hysteria.
Things have been so bad for the Bruins people are already talking about trades. I am not sold on that. The talent is here, but I can't argue against it much longer if they don't pull their shit together.
I really haven't had any problems with the Bruins goalies. It's stupid turnovers, and not scoring. Basically our offense has been Seguin, and that's about it (Bergeron has been decent lately). You never know what you're going to get from Lucic/Horton. Krejci has been MIA all year, and those 3 guys were supposed to be your first line.
Ottawa is hot right now, but they aren't a good team. They were outscored 30-15 during a 1-5-0 start, and I think this 6 game winning streak is just luck. I am picking Ottawa only because I am sick of picking the Bruins and losing. Then again, if they win tonight that is going to start a horrible trend of me having to pick against the Bruins. That's fine, much like the Bruins I am willing to try anything.
Senators win 3-2

Senators @ Bruins Preview
Red Sox Going After Grady Sizemore?
The Cleveland Indians officially parted ways Monday with Grady Sizemore, announcing they will not pick up the outfielder's $9 million option for 2012. Now there are reports the Red Sox could be one of the top teams looking to sign him. I don't like this at all. The last thing the Red Sox need is another player that doesn't play. We already have to deal with Youk, Ellsbury (?), Buchholz, Beckett, Lowrie, ect as players that have a hard time staying on the field.
I was a big Sizemore guy a couple years back, but over the past 2 years he has played a total of 104 games. He also hasn't been good since 2008. He is 29 years old, and I just don't think he is worth it.
NFL Power Rankings
1. Packers (1) - Coming off the bye they get the Chargers. Somehow I don't see them losing that game.
2. Steelers (3) - Huge win over the Patriots, and Big Ben maybe the best football of his career.
3. 49ers (5) - They are 6-1 and have a 4 game lead in the NFC West.
4. Ravens (6) - Took a hell of a comeback against a bad team, but they are 5-2 and have a HUGE against the Steelers next week.
5. Patriots (2) - Ugly loss, and you have to question their defense. Still say they win 12 games this year.
6. Saints (4) - Inexcusable loss to Rams, and they cost me 50 bucks.
7. Texans (7) - Won against without Andre Johnson and have another pushover game with the Browns up next.
8. Bills (10) - Shutout the Redskins. Next two games (Dallas, NYJ) should tell us a lot about this team.
9. Lions (11) - Easy win to go into the bye week. After will be true test (@Chicago, Carolina, Green Bay, @New Orleans). Want respect... Earn it.
10. Jets (8) - Season is truly in trouble if they lose to the Bills next week.
11. Bears (12) - Couple weeks ago seemed like they had no shot at the playoffs, but with tough schedule for Lions they could be right back in this.
12. Bucs (13) - I still have no idea how I feel about this team. If it's close they seem to find a way to win, but they also could just get blown out on any given week.
13. Giants (15) - Things have been going great for the Giants, until you see who they have to play (@New England, @San Francisco, Philadelphia, @New Orleans, Green Bay, @Dallas). Season could slip away quickly.
14. Eagles (19) - If they beat the Bears next week I'll become a believer again that they will win the NFC East.
15. Falcons (14) - How pumped was this team watching the Saints losing to the winless Rams?
16. Chargers (9) - So I guess Rivers is taking the year off.
17. Bengals (18) - They have had the easiest schedule in the NFL, but give respect no one thought this team would be 5-2.
18. Chiefs (21) - With the gift from Rivers the Chiefs are now in 1st place. WTF?
19. Raiders (16) - We find out next week if the Palmer trade was the worst trade of all-time.
20. Cowboys (17) - You just never know what team is going to show up. This week they decided not to.
21. Titans (23) - Only .5 behind the Texans, but where the hell is Chris Johnson?
22. Vikings (27) - I hate myself for saying this, but maybe Ponder wasn't that terrible of a pick.
23. Panthers (20) - I don't think you can put it much on Cam Newton, but this team should have a better record then 2-6.
24. Redskins (22) - The rest of the NFC East is way better then this team.
25. Browns (25) - They really could use Hillis back on the field.
26. Jags (26) - 10-30 97 yards, Yuck Mr. Gabbert.
27. Cardinals (28) - They HAD that game vs the Ravens. Looking more and more like Kolb was a bad investment.
28. Rams (30) - Personally just don't think the Saints tried, but it was nice to see Steven Jackson finally show up this season.
29. Broncos (25) - I think you play Tebow the rest of the year. You really don't want to win, and when he sucks for all those games all the Tebow lovers will shut up.
30. Seahawks (29) - How long till Carroll is gone?
31. Dolphins (31) - Another close game that their fans are probably happy they lost.
32. Colts (32) - They only game I could see them winning is against the Jags, and even that I wouldn't bet on it.
Red Sox Decline Options On Scott Atchinson and Dan Wheeler
Scott Atchison's option was for the 2012 MLB minimum plus $200,000. He remains on the 40-man roster and is not eligible for arbitration. So the Sox could simply tender him an offer at the minimum or slightly above and retain him.
Dan Wheeler is a Type B free agent. So the Red Sox could offer him arbitration and get a draft pick once he signs with another team.
I was really let down by Dan Wheeler who went 2-2, 4.38 ERA with 39 Ks, but none of these guys will be missed. It's weird with relievers because they can be so good one year and suck the next. I mean Bobby Jenks (although I highly doubt it) could have a really good year next year. I don't know what the Sox are going to do bullpen wise, I'd like to say we are going to get Heath Bell and other bad ass guys but who knows.
Broncos Sticking With Tebow
The Bronco's are sticking with Tim Tebow this weekend against Oakland after he put on a stellar performance of 18/39 for 172yard with 1 TD and 1 Int, rushed for 63, got sacked 7 times for -55, fumbled. It's almost beating a dead horse to say that this guy shouldn't be starting at QB anymore. Sure he may have won a couple games in the 4th, sure he had an unbelievable career at Florida, but this guy can't throw accurately, can't read a defense and this isn't college.
The Broncos would be much better served drafting a Landry Jones or trading for a Ryan Mallett this offseason then sticking with Tebow passed this year. I honestly believe if Tebow switched to righty and learned how to properly throw with the arm he would be a better qb, his windup is far too long. Kyle Orton will be starting after this weekend.
Breaking News: Julian Edelman Arrested
"According to a report in the Boston Globe, Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will be arraigned on charges of indecent assault and battery in Boston Municipal Court on Tuesday. Officers were called to a Back Bay nightclub around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning to investigate reports of a possible assault. Edelman was arrested on a single count of indecent assault and battery, according to Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll. Edelman was taken into custody but posted bail and was released by police (WEEI)."
Right now the story is that Edleman was at some Halloween party and was dancing with some chick and reached under her dress. This caused a fight between Edleman and some guy that was there. All 3 people were kicked out of the bar, and police arrived at the scene and arrested Edleman.
It is too early to know what's true or not true, but with Edleman only having 3 catches for 25 yards this year I'd say he is probably going to be cut rather quickly. The Patriots have way too many similar WRs on this roster as it is, and if this is true will be a back eye for the Patriots and I would expect that they wouldn't put up with this.
If we get more news on the story we'll update the post.
Kim Fucking Kardashian Is A Great Scam Artist
So yesterday Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from former husband and New Jersey Net Kris Humphries to end a 72 day marriage. If you remember this relationship was followed by their show and the marriage was a 2 day, 4 hour event that netted them 18 million dollars.
So she was married for 72 days, robbed everyone and we aren't supposed to be mad about this. Listen the Kardashians are only famous because Kim made the most unimpressive porn I have ever seen, and since then she has been riding as much black cock until Kris Humphries. Like I read on twitter yesterday, With Kim K being single, and the McRib sandwich coming out, this is the best week in the history of black men." She is a talentless cunt, and the world would probably be better if the place was rid of the Kardashians altogether. I hope people boycott their show and their stores and just have them go away.
Also, in these situations do you need to return gifts in this situation? I feel like morally you should, but this C bag probably wont.
Well CC Is Off The Market
The Yankees and starting pitcher CC Sabathia came to an agreement on a contract extension yesterday night to that adds $30 million and one season to his existing contract, giving him a package that pays $122 million over the next five years.
Anyone who thought that CC was going anywhere other than New York this offseason was foolish. There is no way that the Yankees were going to let this kid go. People will say that CC is going to eventually break down because of his weight and because he throws a bazillion innings a year, but not going to happen. This guy is an old school pitcher who will be able to go up there and be effective for a majority of his contract. The good news for this means that the Yankees may not overspend on other SP out there, so the Sox may get a fair shot at whoever they desire (hopefully not CJ Wilson). I say trade our whole minor leagues to Seattle for Felix but whatever.
