The Tiger Woods saga continues this week and with the latest installment, we learn that Tiger is now admitted into a sex rehabilitation clinic in Mississippi. I guess if you really need to stop thinking about porn stars, cocktail waitresses and entertainment directors in a sexual fashion, then you locate a sex clinic in Mississippi and check yourself in. I will make a mental note of this. But hey, good for him, this at least shows the public he has admitted to having a problem and is trying to get it corrected, and perhaps help save his marriage as well. Early rumors point to the Masters in April to initiate his comeback and I couldn’t agree more. I think that he needs to get back out playing the sport he loves as soon as humanly possible, but he will need to make sure he is in “the zone”, as media and fans will be taking shots at him left and right. It’s also possible the fellow golfer who set El Tigre up with his current separated wife, the great one known as Jesper Parnevik, MIGHT have a few more words of his own for the media regarding Tiger….since his golf game won’t be drawing much attention once Tiger starts being himself again. Personally, I find that guy to have a ridiculous name and don’t really care for what he has to say. Jesper? Great job, Mama and Papa Parnevik.
Let’s get right into the picks: I’m going with the Jets and the Saints. Here is why:
The Jets ended the regular season as the #1 ranked rushing team on offense and the #1 ranked team for total defense. Plain and simple, these are the two components that get a team to the Super Bowl, if not win it all. I’d choose the Colts if they still had a healthy Bob Sanders at safety, which in my opinion helped them tremendously in their SB run of 2006, as their defense held Larry Johnson to 32 yards in their first playoff game, Jamal Lewis to 53 yards in their second game, and Corey Dillon to 48 yards in the AFC Championship game. In the Super Bowl that year, they did give up over 100 rushing yards to the Bear’s running back, who at that time was, yep, you guessed it, Thomas Jones!! See that, everything comes full circle. Now of course, the Colts won the Super Bowl that year, but that’s because they played against the turnover legend known as Rex Grossman. I think the Jets will pound the rock this Sunday and they will disguise their blitzes well enough where it will confuse Manning just enough to throw him off his game. I think Sanchez can manage the game against a well-coached but not dominating Colt’s defense. Final score: Jets 24 – Colts 20
For those of you that read my first article, you know how I feel about what Brett Favre is doing this season, which consists of making magic moments week in and week out. Greg Lewis, in the back of the end zone vs the Niners, with time expiring? Really??? Sorry, but that won’t happen ever again. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and say I don’t think Greg Lewis will ever score again. Enough about Greg Lewis, this is about Brett Favre. I don’t see the magic carrying him through the Super Dome onto the Super Bowl. I just feel that the magic has to run out at some point….and that point will be in New Orleans. The Saints are the most balanced team left in the playoffs with stars on offense and defense, AND a great special teams unit. They can beat you a number of ways and with Reggie Bush running like USC Reggie Bush, I think they are the team to beat right now. They are also coached by one of the best around in Sean Peyton, an ex-Giant, of course. Final Score: Saints 35 – Vikings 28
