BACK TO FOOTBALL!

I love seeing those words painted on NFL football fields when the new season is here, "Back to Football"...great stuff.  It's the best time of the year, as the fall brings us the best sport on the planet.  It's hard to believe the college football season is already about half over! How did that happen? This weekend will mark the 6th game for most teams already, and there's going to be some good ones.  Even the NFL is already beginning week 5, and I'm looking forward to getting back what I lost last season on the NFL schedule, Manning vs Brady!! It's still the best the NFL offers and with Manning having had last season off, it's an even bigger deal this time around at Foxborough.  It should be a fun game this Sunday, and I'm pulling for Manning even more this time around since he's now in command of my Broncos.  Brady v Manning, enjoy the show!  Let's all enjoy getting back to football!

The NBA landscape just got a pretty interesting makeover this offseason as the Lakers quickly put together a very legitimate championship caliber team...again.  First they brought in Steve Nash to start passing to Kobe every night and make things even easier on Kobe to torch defenses, then they added Dwight Howard to create a very dominant presence that will take even more attention away from Kobe to do his thing.  This is a pretty scary moment for the defending champion Heat, because next June they won't be dealing with an inexperienced Thunder team that wasn't ready for the big stage.  Next time, it's going to be a three-headed monster of Kobe, Nash, and Howard in their way of another title.  Trust me, the Lakers WILL fight back.   I think that scenario I once wished for, having Kobe vs Wade in the NBA Finals, is just a matter of time now.  That will be must-see NBA TV.
