Will we have an NBA Season?

According to the owners, the NBA players association has one day left to accept the owners offer of a 50-50 split on revenue. However, the players must decide whether or not they believe the owners will not accept any offer better than 50-50 for the players after wednesday. My thoughts on the situation is that the owners are lying and that they would accept a different offer after Wednesday. I believe that they are just trying to strong arm the players into a deal because the players are starting to miss paychecks. Michael Jordan, the owner of the Charlette Bobcats seems to be starting to take control for the owners and kind of leading them against the players. I find this unusual because Michael Jordan is a former player so I would have thought that he would be more beneficial to the players and siding with them to help smooth this process over and get a deal done. Then again I guess Michael Jordan can never have enough money. Article+Video

Tebow Time No More

In Tim Tebow's first start of the year last week he was an atrocious 3-14 going into the 4th quarter down 15-0 to the winless Miami Dolphins. Once the 4th quarter rolled around it was Tebow time. He led his team to the first ever comeback down 15 points with under four minutes to go. Although his numbers were very subpar he was off the hook because he was lucky enough to lead his team to the victory. However, this week that was not the case. Tim Tebow started his second game just like the first game. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos were not playing the Miami Dolphins this week. The Detroit Lions were in town and they put up a whopping 45 points on Tebow's Broncos. There was no 4th quarter comeback this time for Tebow. If it wasn't for one drive late in the game when it was well out of reach where Tebow gave his stats a little bit of a boost he would have put up dreadful numbers. This week there is no love lost for Tim Tebow. His naysayers have never been louder and his followers have never been more lost for words. The starting job is still his apparently, will just have to wait and see how long that last.

NFL Power Rankings: opinion review

For my post I went to bleacher report and looked at the most recent NFL power rankings. The guy who is in charge of these rankings had some questionable teams too high so I decided to comment with why I thought he was wrong. Here is my post:

I Think your reasoning behind having the Browns and the Redskins ahead of Cam Newton's Panthers is absurd in all aspects. The Redskins just lost to the Panthers and in that loss they also lost their number one running back and number one reciever. How they can overcome that with John Beck at QB baffles me. Plus, you believe the Browns who can't put up more than six points against the Seahawks have a chance of out scoring Cam Newton and he Panthers? Ill take the Panthers
