NFL Week 1

Posted Tue, 09/15/2009 - 00:14 by SouthernEagle

The Eagles defense played much better than I had anticipated. I had concerns about the loss of Bradley at MLB, of the leadership of Dawkins, and the passing away of our defensive guru. Chances are that in week 2, the Saints won't be forced into anywhere near the amount of turnovers that the Eagles D was able to generate versus the Panthers. Combine that with the loss of McNabb and this team faces an extremely difficult task this week. Still, in situations such as these it is interesting to see how a team responds to adversity.

ALL IN A DAY OF SPORTS

What an incredible day of sports it was on Saturday, 5/2/09. My afternoon began with the Penguins-Capitals in their game 1 match up of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. This game had plenty of skill and speed. Two of the biggest stars in the sport, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, each had goals and dished out big hits but the play of this game was when Caps goalie, Simeon Varlamov, made an unbelievable stick save on Crosby that stopped what looked to be an easy goal on a wide open net. The Caps win a hard fought game, 3-2.

Gonzalez to Falcons

Posted Thu, 04/23/2009 - 22:40 by SouthernEagle

Atlanta traded a 2nd round pick in 2010 to Kansas City for Tony Gonzalez. In terms of fantasy, Gonzo was the top TE in the league in a less than dynamic offense last season and should remain at or very close to the top of the heap again in 2009. The Falcons offense has many weapons that should compliment each other well to provide nice balance. You have to like Matt Ryan's prospects for this season even more with this addition. For KC, they get a first day pick for a 33-year old playing a position that isn't emphasized in Todd Haley's offense.
