Super Bowl 2012

-Tom Brady once again has elevated himself to the number 1 spot in the fantasy football QB ranks and it took him two season to get back there after going through his knee injury in 2008. Brady was downright ridiculous with his TD to INT ratio and he threw a TD pass in every game this season. The best part was that Brady's value was lower than its been in years as he went fifth overall among QB's in my money league. Needless to say I was more than happy to nab him anad use his skill to win my league's top spot.

-There was a little bit of slippage in Peyton Manning's stats this season and he threw the most picks in his career since his rookie season. Some blame surely lands on the fact his receiving corps was decimated with injury but Manning also made some poor throws which we are not sued to seeing. Still he was money in the playoffs when it counted and he likely will slip into the second round next season where he makes a great value.

-Philip Rivers was awesome this season and he was one guy I was wrong about. I was worried about his offensive line and the fact Vincent Jackson was holding out. Despite all that, there were additional injuries that affected just about every receiving threat on the roster. Still Rivers was crazy good all season until the fantasy playoffs arrived where it seems he and the team lost their steam. Without a doubt Rivers is a top 5 option for next season.

-Michael Vick obviously is the story of the season and he no doubt will appear on many fantasy football winning teams this week. Its truly remarkable how great he has been and it will be interesting to see what happens next season as far as whether he re-signs with the Eagles. The offense is perfectly suited for his talents and if Vick does re-sign, he will likely put up similar stats in 2011.

-If I were to ask you who had the secon best TD to INT ratio in fantasy football, I guarantee it would take you more than 10 guesses to come up with Matt Cassel. Cassel was a preseason curiosity after finishing strong in his first season with the Chiefs last year but he bombed out in September and was cast aside by everyone. Once November arrived however, Cassel was utterly fantastic and he finished with an almost 3-TD gem in the fantasy football Super Bowl game. At the very least Cassel makes the perfect backup for next season but he clearly has earned starter status in most leagues.

-Joe Flacco was a guy I raved about all preseason and I told anyone who would listen to draft the guy. Needless to say I got a ton of angry e-mails in September after he too bombed out by I was fully confident he would turn it around. That he did and than some as Flacco finished with great stats to the tune of 25 TD and only 9 INT. Up and up we go here as Flacco is knocking on the door to the top tier guys.

-Eli Manning ruined what was looking like a potentially great season with a terrible INT rate. He completely flamed out Sunday with 4 picks against the Packers and no doubt he cost some a title. Manning is too skittish for me to trust as a full time starter but he makes a great backup.

-Matt Schaub was another one who let down and I did a feature on this weeks ago. Injuries to his offensive line and receiving corp hurt but an MVP-type season from RB Arian Foster should have helped the passing game more than it did. I still like Schaub and he will come much cheaper next season which makes him very attractive. This is a great stock to buy for 2011 if you dont want to go with a top QB early in your draft.

-Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers was up and down all season as he fought through a concussion and injuries to his receiving corp. Still he went bonkers with 4 TD in the title game and he remains a top 3 guy.

-Tony Romo finished ranked 10th on this list but he will certainly move up as we approach 2011 due to his skill set and the offense he plays in. Romo just has to stay healthy and he will yield big results.

-Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman and St. Louis' Sam Bradford are the next class of stars who will take the league by storm. Freeman surprised me with how great he played all season but Bradford is the guy I am really excited about. Without a doubt Bradford will be a top 5 guy by 2012. You read it here first.

What to Expect At The Super Bowl

For the first time ever, Indianapolis is the proud host of the 2012 NFL Super Bowl. This Midwest city is long on experience when it comes to hosting major sporting events. So it should come as no surprise that Indy has pulled out all the stops in an effort to make this a truly awe inspiring celebration. The first thing noteworthy about this year's event is that the Stadium and the main pre-game festivities are all grouped together. The Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indiana Convention Center, and the Super Bowl Village are all within a block or two of each other. Located within these same blocks fans will also find the Circle Center Mall, opulent five star hotels, world famous restaurants, exciting night clubs, and charming pubs.

The NFL Experience will take place from January 27, 2012 through February 4th, 2012 and will be held at the Indiana Convention Center, located one block North of the Lucas Oil Stadium. Adult tickets are .00 and tickets for children under 12 years of age are .00. This event promises to be family friendly and is best described as an interactive theme park for NFL fans. The Super Bowl Village will be located on Georgia Street running due East of the Indiana Convention Center for three (3) city blocks. Georgia Street was recently renovated to accommodate the thousands of fans who are expected to declare this activity zone as party central. Live entertainment will be playing on two separate stages, while some of Indianapolis' most entertaining establishments cater to the fans.

Super Bowl 2012

Other Indianapolis neighborhoods will also be catering to Super Bowl fans, including Mass Ave., Fountain Square, and Broad Ripple. Public transportation will be running between these entertainment satellites in order to provide fans with an easy and convenient way to get from one place to another. Super Bowl fans coming to Indianapolis in February can visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, located approximately 6 miles west of downtown. An extensive collection of cars and racing memorabilia can be viewed at the Museum, and if the weather is fair, you can even take a ride around the world's most famous oval. For those who don't get a chance to visit the Museum, the Indy 500 will be coming to them, courtesy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Celebrating Indy's racing heritage, this year's Super Bowl will pay tribute to the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race as 36 Super Cars bearing logos of one of the NFL teams or an AFC or NFC conference insignia will be on display in and around Indianapolis. Each car will be located at a particular location of special interest, called a Super Celebration Site.

By giving visitors a chance to seek out their favorite team's car, members of the Super Bowl Committee hope to give fans a unique and free photo opportunity that brings Indy's racing heritage to the forefront of this event. Other nearby attractions which are sure to score big points with Super Bowl fans include the Indiana State Museum and its IMAX theater, the NCAA Hall of Champions, Cracker's Comedy Club, St. Elmo's Steak House, the Indiana Children's Museum (amazing for adults too), and the Slipper Noodle Inn (Blues bar, opened in 1850). With so much to see and do in Indy in 2012, you better come early if you want to see it all.

The Workhorse Comes Back To Work

Larry Johnson has finally ended his holdout with the Kansas City Chiefs. The pro bowler concurred to a six year contract extension earlier this week. The Chiefs running back set the all time NFL record for attempts last season with 416; furthermore, he set the all time Chiefs franchise record in rushing with 1749 yards.

The details of the contract is a $ 43.2 million and $ 19 million guaranteed. This negotiation would make Larry Johnson in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform until 2012. Due to the long and arduous 25 day holdout, the superstar running back will be fined 7,000. The Kansas City Chiefs went 0 - 2 without Larry Johnson in the lineup, so having number 27 back on the roster is a welcome addition. With the departure of veteran quarterback Trent Green, the Chiefs are looking for anything to enhance the offense. Damon Huard went 5 - 3 as a starter last NFL season, and he did a respectable job as Trent Green's replacement.

Nfl 2012

The younger and inexperienced Brodie Croyle has not made any progress; therefore, it appears Damon will be the starter in week 1 of the regular season. Priest Holmes has also been in contact with the Kansas City Chiefs regarding a comeback with the team. He had an amazing three year span where he scored over 60 touchdowsn. Defenses have something to fear if both Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson are healthy throughout the duration of the NFL season. The Chiefs Even though the Chiefs are in arguably the most toughest division, they definitely bolster their chances of winning with Larry Johnson.

NBA Lockout - Check Out What Is Next For NBA's Highest Paid Players

The Employment Outlook today is tough for many people. According to The United States Labor Department, the average medium yearly salary is anywhere from ,00 to ,000. Depending on where you live, and your occupation. With two adults working, it's just enough to pay the rent, cars, insurance etc. But what if you earned a multi-million dollar salary, like many of our professional athletes. The NBA Teams are in a battle, a game of tug of war. This battle is between The Owners, and The Players. There are no real rules, and neither side is budging, as the season is slowly slipping by. With pre-season games canceled, and no agreement, Commissioner Stern now has kept his promise to cancel the first two weeks of regular season play. All NBA games, now canceled until November 14. Los Angeles Lakers, Derek Fisher is the Players Union President, and has been quoted saying that, "the players are not playing basketball because we are on strike, we are not playing because, The Owners have locked us out." The 1998-1999 NBA season was reduced to only 50 games. This was a strike. An agreement was not reached until January 1999. This Lockout could be as long. Some are saying there may not be a season at all.

While most NBA players make million dollar salaries, not all can afford to go an entire year without a paycheck. Rashard Lewis, Kobe Bryant, Paul Gasol, are some of the highest paid players. Lewis has a contract that pays him 8 million over six years. While there are plenty of players that are close to the minimum salary of 3,000. With that said, NBA Players are still in a far better position than the thousands of hourly workers that depend on the NBA's 6-month season. They are the workers that are employed at the arenas. Security, ushers, parking lot attendants, and restaurant employees. Most arenas are surrounded by hotels and restaurants that depend upon the basketball patrons. Orlando Florida, may be home to Disney World, and a hot vacation spot, but Orlando will feel the pinch as well. Last minute details are stalled for the NBA's 2012 All Star Games. The Games, are set to be hosted by Orlando Magic in their new Amway Arena. The All Star Games cover an entire week of games and events mainly held at Amway. Final decisions may be on hold.

Nfl 2012

So what are some of the players doing? Le Bron James was spotted playing football at his old High School in Akron, St. Vincent-St. Mary's. James had been reported talking to The NFL. This is not true. Kobe Bryant has been linked to rumors that he may sign a contract in Italy. Many Fans really do not have much sympathy for the Players or Owners. Together they provide a great and exciting basketball season, but to be unable to come to an agreement may be a matter of greed. Many people are asking, How did the salaries of professional athletes get so out of hand?

The NBA players are employees of their respective teams, and owners. So why, you may ask, do they want 53% of all ticket revenues? A 50/50 split is not good enough. They want to make more than their bosses. Overpaid players cut into franchise profits, and hurt the basketball business as a whole. Wizard Rashard Lewis was quoted as saying that. " I'm willing to sacrifice my salary to get a fair deal". In summary, both parties do agree on one fact. Nobody will be making any money, if nobody is playing basketball. It will be interesting to see the final results, and if we will learn anything from this.

Did Wisconsin Voters Shoot Themselves In The Foot?

The trials and tribulations of the Badger State continue to grow as its chances for an economic recovery become less likely. A shift in politic power resulted from the November elections. The promise was to lift Wisconsin out of debt, not raise personal taxes and make it an attractive place for business; but this has turned into a disaster. The fallout from this situation is likely to hurt the taxpayers of the state for years to come.

The new administration in Madison was faced with a multi-billon dollar deficit. It took steps to address the short-term problem of attracting new business to the state and encourage existing companies to hire by offering them tax incentives. Concurrently, the long-term issue of public employee salaries, benefits and pensions was also addressed. Since Wisconsin has one of the country's most lucrative teacher compensation packages, that's where the legislators began.

Super Bowl 2012

Wisconsin quickly became national news, because it is seen as a battleground state in the 2012 elections and the unions see their power in the public sector being challenged, and their political influence diminished. Unions have already been marginalized in the private sector, with less than 7% of workers belonging to these organizations.

Unions, both private and public, shipped people to the state capital to demonstrate and disrupt the legislation process while state senators from the minority party fled to Illinois to avoid voting on what they believed to be controversial legislation. They returned to their jobs after the bill was adjusted and passed. But a judge ruled against the new law and it is on hold as the legislation makes its way through the state's legal system.

Fearing the legislation will ultimately be decided by the state Supreme Court, currently ruled by a 4-3 majority that may uphold the legislation, unions mounted an effort to oust an incumbent judge and change the balance of power. This coincided with a statewide election in early April. There was a record turnout, but only a narrow margin separated the two candidates. A recount is next. At the same time, 16 state senators from both parties are facing recall elections. There is no suggestion of stability in the state, which is not encouraging for business or the residents.

Activists are feeling triumphant though some may not realize their efforts just sabotaged the state's future. This may not bother the unions, because they have kept the anti-government union sentiment from spreading. Although Ohio has just passed more stringent legislation, Wisconsin has remained in the forefront of the news.

When Illinois raised taxes this prompted Wisconsin to claim it was the business friendly state. With the unions showing new-found power, this notion will fade away and companies may consider Indiana, Ohio and others as better places to build plants and hire workers. So the unions have won the battle but may well lose the war in Wisconsin. As businesses move on to other parts of the country, the people of the Cheese State will have little to be happy about aside from being the home of this year's Super Bowl winner.

20/20 Cricket, Good for the Game

When 20/20 cricket was introduced by the ICC (International Cricket Council) to the cricketing world many a die-hard test match and one day cricket fan believed it would do more harm than good and it was not 'real cricket'.

Cricket is by nature a game of patience and endurance in test match form, but it is also a spectator sport. To many people test matches are boring, and although one day matches are fun they are just too long for some people. For this reason the new form of the game was developed.

Super Bowl 2012

20/20 cricket has revived the sport brining, perhaps, a more jubilant and younger crowd to watch a flurry of sixes and fours and run rates of seven to eight runs per over. Furthermore, with the advent of the ICC 20/20 world cup known as the 'ICC World 20/20', which was first held in 2007, and the Indian Premier League - sporting teams like the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians with players from all around the world who normally play against each other playing as team mates (what a spectacle) - many people who had never before watched cricket are now fanatical supporters.

Despite the purists fears people still support test matches and one day games - now there is just more variety. Furthermore, it has brought in much-needed funds to the game and showed just how fast teams can score if they put their mind to it.

Stadiums are now normally packed to capacity for one day's and twenty-twenty games; and test matches are still seen as the purest form of the game.

The next ICC World 20/20 competition is to be held in 2012. Whether you are a religious cricket supporter or know nothing about the game, be sure not to miss it or at least give it a try. You will be bowled over for sure!
