First things first. Is anyone watching the A.L. tiebreaker game right now... This is why there is "Only One October." Two teams grinding out every play, trying as hard as they can, and putting on one hell of a show. Curtis Granderson actually just helped save the Tigers shot as we speak, with a real nice diving catch. This is what we the fans watch 162 games for, why we sit through the dog days of summer, countless nights of watching Baseball Tonight and learning every nuance there is about every player in the league. We do it for October, for the chance that our team will be one of the elite 8 who qualifies for the Fall Dance. For some lonely men, this is a marriage, only they get 4 months off a year... (wait a minute) Now before I talk some pigskin, I'm hoping for the Twins to win tonight for two reasons. First, I've never minded the Twins, a gutsy blue collar team with a good skipper and young quality players. Secondly, I think they are a better match up for the Yankees, a weaker starting rotation (still working on figuring out what theirs is. My hope is this gives the Bombers a chance to get up on them in the first 6 innings and let our bullpen keep it that way... time will tell... and at this rate the game won't be over anytime soon. Go Twinkies!!
Back to the holy league, I mean there is a reason they play on Sundays. The season is 25% over already... we can talk contenders, pretenders, the close but no cigars, the oops I DIDN'T again, and the one team that continues to spend but fails to do any diligence and research. Yes I am referring to the Oakland Raiders. We have 5 unbeaten teams left: Giants, Saints, Vikings, Colts, and the Broncos. Of those, Every team except Denver is a contender, the Broncos well see last weeks article for news about them. San Diego will win that division... just watch.
9:48- The Twins just won!! The Twins just won!! What a Game!!
Anyways, there are teams that have a loss, even two who I would still say are legitimate contenders as well. The Patriots at 3-1, a Tom Brady team can never be written off this soon. The 49ers, their defense keeps them in games, and their division is as weak as Mary Kate or Ashely Olsen's bones. They are the only child TV stars who have maintained the same weight since the age of three... Maybe contestants on The Biggest Loser should stop working out so much and go on a steady diet of Cocaine and purging... I'd put money on that contestant. Any who, The Ravens are right there and we've seen why, they lost a close one to the Pats this weekend, my guess is they were out coached. It took him a few games this year, but Bellicheck has this ship sailing right on course now. It has to be tough for a coach to be this good. He loses his coordinators seemingly every year and somehow finds a way to put such quality together out of players who don't carry the big name ego or price tag. Sure he gives the most boring press conference and he shows as much emotion as a Brit shows good dental Hygiene, but he does produce year in and year out.
Don't write off the following teams- Eagles, Bears, Falcons, San Diego and Green Bay, they are quality teams that could make a run.
Every other team has as much chance at the Lombardi Trophy as Micheal Vick getting with the CEO of PETA, some things just won't happen.
On to this week's power of 5...
1. Giants- next up raiders, so they'll be 5-0 going into week 6's battle with the Saints
