Hello again

Well gang:
A belated Happy New Year to you all.
Although it has been a while since I last blogged, I see some things don't seem to change when it comes to the pro sports landscape.
The Giants are still looking for some respect as they head into Sunday's playoff game, while Roger Clemens is still looking for someone to believe he did not take steroids.
The latest in the latter saga has Congress calling for the Rocket, as well as his former personal trainer Brian McNamee, to testify later this month. Andy Pettitte has been called in as well. My hope is that they seat Clemens and McNamee next to each other during questioning, so the two of them can argue who is lying under oath.
That would make for some good TV, don't you think?
As far as the Giants, I was surprised by how well they played the Patriots last week. In fact, many people could argue the Giants should have won the game. I think they carry that momentum into Tampa Bay and beat the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Flat out, the Giants are a better team and Eli Manning is poised to have a big playoff game.
As for the other three wild-card games this weekend, look for the Seahawks to end the Redskins' magical run, while the Jaguars continue theirs in Pittsburgh today. The Chargers will roll on Sunday to round out the weekend winners.
Take it to the bank, Seattle, New York, Jacksonville and San Diego all advance this weekend.
On second thought, have you read my predictions before? I wouldn't go betting the house on them.
Until next time, take care and God bless.

Why do I think that the Giants have a chance to win at Dallas. Am I crazy?

The four divisional playoffs are as good of matchups in recent memory. Should be fun.
