President Obama and Fans Looking Apposing Directions for Super Bowl Favorite
President Barack Obama said diplomatically that, “I have to say, you know, I wish the Cardinals the best,” yet he will be rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers when facing the “long-suffering” and “great Cinderella story” Cardinals.
“Other than the (Chicago) Bears,” Obama said, “the Steelers are probably the team that’s closest to my heart.” Yet not enough to keep him from adorning his custom Obama Steelers jersey going to show you that presidents can be fans too. I just hope he wont be placing public speaches and stopping to quench his thirst via his favorite sponsred drink.
While the heart of American pro football fans are looking the other direction and would like the Arizona Cardinals according to a Jan. 27-28 USA Today/Gallup poll.
With the Cardinals making their first appearance in the Super Bowl and the Steelers already five-time Super Bowl Champions the underdog is a likely explenation that corresponds with the onset of the 2009 year for Americans everywhere.

Willis McGahee and the NFL’s Year of Showboats
What happened to the class act. The NFL may soon find out what a bunch of melodramatic idiots can do to a sport like the NBA has. Between Ocho – please shut the hell up and talk to much – TO the NFL does not need another act in its repertoire of class action lawsuits and felons.
When your team is down and out and things don’t go the way you planned, you could always fake paralysis. I guess looking like an idiot when your called out for faking just to ruin a voctors celebration is enough for Baltimore Ravens‘ Willis McGahee.
“And oh, yeah, that stretcher was a nice touch. It’s like he planned how he could make himself the center of attention,” Pittsburgh’s safety Troy Polamalu said as he vowed never to forgive McGahee for trying to take away from the Steelers’ victory.
I suppose that when you sustain an injury like that it is nothing a few asprin can’t remedy as Pittsburgh emergency-room doctors had reported as apposed to the usual perscribed pain killers in the event sever neck pain actually occurs.
Boldin Shows Off His Mouth at Just the Right Time
When you team is driving towards the NFC championship it would not appear to be tie to vent frustrations that can arise between coach and player.
Anquan Boldin may have placed himself before his team in lashing out when he did and perhaps this decision may not be understood. A game watched by more then have ever been interested in the Arizona Cardinals before. For a team that could be the most improbable super bowl participant to date and in the midst of attaining the necessary win to do so.
The point has been made official News pointing out Boldin’s selfishness but hindsight is 20-20. Any player fighting for their spot deserves reasonable explanation right?
“I was not given any explanation why I was taken out,” Boldin told ESPN’s NFL Live. “Like any competitor I wanted to know why.”

For die-hard fans of the Major League Baseball or MLB, being informed of the latest scores and matches of their favorite teams is just not enough. A lot of them crave for more things they can consider as a stronger connection to their beloved sport idols. This is the sole reason why there is a great demand for MLB memorabilia today.

Aside from MLB cards, personalized MLB jerseys for instance, are among the best buys for sports fanatics for it makes them feel that they are part of their favorite teams.
Everbody Loves Basketball
Whenever I hear the NBA slogan; “I love this Game”, I can’t help but marvel at the sport’s popularity. Almost every place I go, there are basketball courts nearby. Boys of all ages play enthusiastically, trying to imitate their NBA idols. It’s not hard to see that the majority of people love this game, making basketball part of the American culture.
This basketball fever is the very thing that popularizes a lot of basketball players. Almost everyone you ask recognizes the number 23 jersey of the legendary player Michael Jordan. Some like Shaquille O’Neal even extended their fame beyond the court and involve themselves in other field, like starring a movie or a commercial. The sport fever also fueled the rise in the number of sports memorabilia such as game cards and authentic NBA jerseys being sold in different places for the millions of die-hard fans of the National Basketball Association teams and players.
Cortez Kennedy Elect, Over Due
Now retired for 8 years, Cortez Kennedy, a former Seahawk defensive tackle was announced as a nominee for the 2009 Hall of Fame. It has been an inevitable event for this stand up defensive player. Having been named the defensive player of the year in 1992 and elected into eight Pro Bowls in his 11 season career people want to remember his contribution to the game.
Having been a first-round draft choice in 1990 Cortez spent the entirety of his NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks, a rarity among players. Cortez has already been elected into the Seahawks Ring of Honor in 2006 as well as the University of Miami’s Ring of Honor this last year.
“Thrilled… and humbled” Kennedy Said. “It’s one of those things you want to happen, but can’t really believe it ever will.”
Bill Cowher Hearsay
I have found hearsay circulating with regards to former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher and his recent decision to decline the head-coaching job for the New York Jets starting next season. It has been made clear that Cowher never advanced past the preliminary stage of negotiations but since when can a ‘person’ close to Cowher pass off as headline worthy information?
Supposedly Cowher turned down the coaching position with the New York Jets because he doesn’t want to coach Brett Favre. Although there certainly could be justifiable reasons for this type of decision I am sure that more information would have come to fruition to that affect.
He Must Have No Kluwe
Die hard Football fans of an era that grew up and has become accustomed to video games may also be the predominant players of football video games but I doubt that a name change would amount to much.
Want to sell jerseys? Become a star. Seahawks field goal kicker Josh Brown probably has a better chance of creating a buzz but Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is said to be determined to make money by changing his last name to “World of Warcraft,” his favorite video game.
This article has been circulating throughout the Internet and placed on several blogs thus far. No word yet on any official steps towards the illustrious name change. Chris did back his decision with specific feedback from fans of his Minneapolis radio station 93X.
Why Would a Dolphin Think About 2009 Now?
The Dolphins are thinking about the post season so why would it be relevant to start pointing out the road ahead for this aspiring team? ESPN.com’s Tim Graham’s recent article, ‘Dolphins’ road gets rocky in 2009‘ brings up a number of catchy points but feels like a last ditch headliner especially this time of the season.
The Miami Dolphins have turned a previously 1 win season into an AFC East championship with 11 wins led by ex Jet Chad Pennington. We all know the common downfalls of any team that affect any franchise that endures the ramifications of injuries, free agency, drafts and coaching changes.
It should be agreed that the scheduling plays a significant role. At the end of the day any team, with their set schedule, still has to show face and win. Perhaps teams in AFC and NFC South divisions Graham mentions in his article warrent more inner division rivalries.
