Vallee’s View: Arizona Wins after Green Bay’s Prayers are Answered

January 22, 2016

Surprisingly, Arizona and Green Bay turned out to be the best game of the Divisional Playoffs.  While there were a lot of surprises and drama that happened in the first 59 minutes, all anyone was talking about was three plays.   Play #1, 4th and 20:  Trailing 20-13 with 55 seconds left quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense was facing a 4th and 20 from their own 4-yard…

Vallee’s View: Patriots Get Clean Bill of Health

January 20, 2016

All it took was one drive.  After meandering through the injury plagued final weeks of the season with uninspired play, bizarre coaching decisions, and un-Patriot like mistakes, New England needed all of 4 minutes and 33 seconds to right the ship.  With a rare opportunity to open the game on offense, Tom Brady lined up in shotgun and proceeded to carve and slice his way through the Kansas City defense,…

MLB At Large: I Love the Justin Upton Signing for the Tigers.

January 20, 2016

The Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Justin Upton to a 6 year, $132 million dollar contract on Monday. The 28 year old spent last season with the Padres.

Black and Yellow Blog: The Bruins Served Montreal a Nice Cold Dish of Revenge. 

January 20, 2016

What a difference three weeks can make. Three weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens embarrassed the Bruins at the WinterClassic. Last night the B’s returned the favor beating the Canadiens 4-1 in Montreal. The Bruins scored first last night and never looked back in a dominant performance. It was nice payback after getting their asses handed to them by Montreal at the Classic.  Unlike the Winter Classic, the Bruins were healthy…

January 19, 2016

Remember in the 1980’s when Wendy’s used to ask, where’s the beef? Celtics fans are now asking, where’s the D? Since the calendar flipped to 2016, the Celtics defense has gotten worse. Earlier this season, Boston was ranked in the top ten in defense. Lately however, they’ve looked anything like a top ten defense.

Image of the Day: Brady and the Three Number One’s. 

January 18, 2016

Yup….This picture pretty much sums it all up. While the other three quarterbacks are great, they will never be Tom Brady. He’s in a class all by himself. He’s the GOAT. And yes, that includes Manning. I’m lumping him with Newton and Palmer. I don’t put Manning in Brady’s class, even if Denver wins this week. Brady is better.

January 18, 2016

(Image courtesy of NFL.com) The 2015-16 NFL season will feature a Brady, Manning showdown after all. Manning missed the Week 12 game against the Patriots with a foot injury. Next Sunday’s AFC Championship game will mark the 17th meeting between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. It could very well be the final meeting in what some consider to be the greatest player rivalry in league history. Brady is 11-5 all…
