So far in the month of January.........

Well, the winter sports are in full swing, Basketball is getting near the all star break. Hockey is back in time for a 48 game schedule. We've seen the start of a dynasty in Alabama and the continuation of SEC dominance in college football, also want to state this was the last year for bowl game, starting next year there will be a 4 team play-off. And to top it off, in a couple months, baseball will start up with spring training. 

Today has been a good day, I get the NHL back, even if I had to wait till early January. It will be interesting to see how the teams can adapt to playing so many games in such a tight window of time. I get to see how my sabres can play against quality teams right out of the gate when they play the flyers in their first game of the year. With no training games, this will be the first time they (the players) will have played with their respective teams either for the first time, or last year. Many have gone over sea's to play, so rust won't be an issue.

On the 7th of January, we saw the last BCS bowl game for the time being. I though Notre Dame had a chance, I was wrong big time. Notre Dame looked like little kids playing grown men on steroids  It didn't look good, especially when Alabama ran the ball, it was like the defensive line for Notre Dame didn't want to touch their ( Alabama's) Backs.

In the NFL, the battle to get to the superbowl continues with the greenbay packers and the Broncos of Denver ending their season tonight. On Sunday, the New England Patriots play the Houston Texans, and the Seattle Seahawks go to Atlanta to play the Falcons. Both look to be great games to watch. I'll be paying more attention to the New England game because I'm  a patriots fan, but I'll definatly watch the Falcons game as well. For anyone who isn't sure of the times. Falcons-Seahawks are at 1pm EST and the Patriots-Texans is at 4:30pm EST.
