Crap I Still Have One More Blog To Do

People are crazy, and sports fans are crazier.   First thing that comes to mind is the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit.  In case you forgot it was four years ago this week when it happened.  I didn't see it live, but I'm sure like everyone else I saw it replayed thousands of times after.  It was the most shocking thing I had ever seen, to think that fans and players would actually be fighting with each other.  People threw beer at the players, enticing them, and Ron Artest even ran up into the stands to throw a punch.  It was one of the darkest days in the NBA, and even though it has come a long way since that brawl, it still remains that it happened.

The players might have started the brawl, but it was the fans who made it worse.  And speaking of fans, some of them have gotten crazy.  At Michigan, first year coach Rich Rodriguez said how fans say things to him that sometimes don't even pertain to the game.  What is it with fans?  Your team has a history of winning, and you think you deserve to win all of the time.  And yes, that goes for you Yankee fans too.  You guys think you deserve to be in the World Series every year, it makes me sick.  Admit your team is not that good anymore, and accept your fate.

Speaking of fate, today is big for both New York football teams.  The Jets face the 10-0 Titans in Tennessee.  I might be a Giants fan, but I'm pulling for the Jets.  Not only am I a huge Favre fan, but I'm tired of people sucking up to the Titans.  They're a good team, but they've not only had an easy schedule. they've also taken advantage of a week division that includes a Colts team that is having an off year.  It is going to be a very tough game for the Jets, but I think they can come out of it with a win.

Now for my Giants.  who face a tough Arizona Cardinals team today.  The Cardinals have been destroying defenses, as Kurt Warner has three 300 yard games in a row.  If the Giants can get to Warner, and their secondary can hold up, Warner is going to have a long day.  On offense, we'll need Manning to have a good day passing, along with a strong running game.  Today's game also is the first time the Giants will be in Arizona since winning the Super Bowl back in February.  I'm not going to say what I think the outcome will be, but you know what I'm hoping for.
