Sports Around the Leagues

Hurray for behind schedule postings. This time on Ducey IV: Sports!

NFL Championship games were great. Indie’s comeback surprised me, and the Vikings-Saints OT nail-biter is one of the best games I’ve seen in recent memory. Though, I do wish that the Vikings had played better than they did. It’s hard to take the Saint’s seriously as one of the Super Bowl participants when they barely won even with +4 turnover margin. There was also the major miss-call earlier in the game that gave the Saints a touchdown they had fallen short of. I personally think that Vikings – Colts would have been a more interesting Super Bowl match-up. But hey, the Saints are still a good team and it should be a good game. Also, at least now the seven Vikings players who might have had to sit out of the Pro Bowl for fear of injury can get in there. Maybe the Pro Bowl will be worth watching this year after all.

Fun Fact: Brett Favre’s last pass as an Atlanta Falcon was an interception. His last pass as a Green Bay Packer was an interception. His last pass as a New York Jet was an interception. And, if he decides to retire this year (again), his last pass as a Minnesota Viking will be an interception.

Caps are still hot; won 4-2 over the Coyotes on Saturday, extending their win streak to five. I am glad we got a two day break between the Coyotes and Islanders – we had been playing every other day for almost two weeks. We get a couple more two-day breaks until our final three games (two back to back, all on the road) and the Olympic Break.

In Baseball news – Yes, baseball; it’s our national pastime and Spring Training games are only a month away. As I was saying, in baseball news, it looks like the O’s came to an agreement and managed to get Miguel Tejada off the Free Agent market. Both sides have reportedly agreed to terms, and now the deal just needs to be finalized. I am pumped about this. Tejada is an amazing player, and we needed a strong anchor like him on one of our corners. This is gonna be a great year.
