  • Is it true is it really over -Andray Blatche (Washington Wizards)
  • I feel like a rookie again! Going on 10 months away from organized basketball. Can't wait to start! -Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies)
  • Let's get bak to action. Woke up to good news!!!!! C.J. Watson (Chicago Bulls)

Who are these guys, and why are they excited?

Shoot its been so long I almost forgot who they were too! After 149 days of no NBA basketball, most people were starting to think all hopes of a NBA season was lost. But during the AM hours of 11-26-11 the NBA Players Union, and the Owners have agreed to a tentative agreement to bring the NBA back into business. In other words THE NBA IS BACK! As you can see I have posted some of the players reactions via Twitter after they found out the ban on the NBA was no more! There kinda excited..just a little bit

Before everything becomes 100% official the Players union (NBAPA) must drop their lawsuit filed against the league, and must reform their union. Its expected they will do their part which is why every ones gone ahead, and said that their will be a
2011-2012 NBA season.

Free agency, and training camps are expected to start December 9th, 2011. Its clear that A full season will not be played, and neither will a 72 game season. Instead it is expected the teams will play a 66 game season. The season will kick off on Christmas day with a special triple header! Starting with a rematch of the NBA Finals. The Miami Heat will visit the Dallas Mavericks, followed by the Boston Celtics visiting the New York Knicks, and concluding the night with the Chicago Bulls at the Los Angeles Lakers.

Many People (including myself), and even players were not expecting any type of season at all, but with the latest reports looks like we all get an early Christmas present.


Week 12 NFL Scores & Predictions!

TNF Green Bay @ Detroit: Many were expecting the Lions to come in and hand Green Bay their first loss of the season, however i didn't. Final score: Packers 27 Lions 15.

TNF Miami @ Dallas:  Miami came into Dallas, and played hard, and the Dolphins are starting to look like the team everybody thought they would be before the season started. With Matt Moore playing well i don't think you can expect to see Chad Henne back in a Dolphins uniform next season. Final Score: Cowboys 20 Dolphins 19.
John Harbaugh got the best of his brother Jim in TNF Football

TNF San Francisco @ Baltimore:  Probably the most anticipated game of week 12, and was the most watched NFL Thanksgiving game ever. Who needs the Lions When you got the Ravens? This game was deemed the Harbaugh bowl as to brothers faced off at head coach for the first time in NFL history. The Ravens proved they have the better Harbaugh and improved to 8-3 on the season. Final score Ravens 16 49ers 6.

Minnesota @ Atlanta:  Atlanta has definitely fallen under expectations this season, but compared to Minnesota it's not even close. To make matters worse the Vikings will most likely be without running back Adrian Peterson. Matt Ryan throws for over 300 yards, and the Falcons win 35-10.

Cleveland @ Cincinnati:  Cincinnati is still a good team, it's just over the last two weeks they have played better teams. In this case Cincinnati is the better team. Bengals win 24-15.

Carolina @ Indianapolis:  Carolina looks like it has found their QB of the future in Cam Newton, but like all great rookie QB's seem to do Newton and the Panthers are struggling. With this game being at Indianapolis I'm going to take the Colts as my upset pick. I think the Colts pull off their first, and possibly only victory of the season. Colts win it 23-17.

Houston @ Jacksonville:  With Matt Schaub out for the remainder of the season Matt Leinart gets yet another chance to prove he can be a starter in this league. I think the Texans will play well behind Leinart, and to make things better this week will mark the return of receiver Andre Johnson. Texans win it 24-13.

Buffalo @ New York Jets:  As bad as Buffalo is playing lately theres just no way I can pick them. The Jets have been playing awful lately as well, but as much as I like to bash Mark Sanchez. I think he will have a decent game on Sunday: 2 touchdowns 200+ yards. Jets win it 27-14.

Arizona @ St. Louis:  This is this weeks Toilet bowl! as both these teams are equally horrible. Looks like backup John Skelton will get his 3rd straight start for the Cardinals as Kevin Kolb still has a Turf Toe injury. the Rams Sam Bradford has been hurt this year, and is probably playing worse then both Kolb and Skelton. I like the Cardinals in this low scoring affair 17-14.

Tampa Bay @ Tennessee:  Tampa Bay has lost 4 straight, and Josh Freeman isn't performing nearly as well as he has in years past. Tennessee is 5-5 this season, and is still in the AFC Wild card hunt. However I think this will be Tampa Bays bounce back game. Bucs win it 26-21 

Chicago @ Oakland:  No Jay Cutler for the Bears definitely affects their playoff chances, however I still think the Bears will find a way in. Carson Palmer has played pretty well, and has won 3 of his 4 starts as a Raider this season. This will be a warm-up game for Bears starter Caleb Hanie, but the Bears still lose 22-16

Washington @ Seattle:  I've said this like 10 times this season Seattle is a better team then their record shows, and are coming off 2 straight wins. Washington....is well Washington. In the loudest stadium in the league the Seahawks get the job done. Seahawks win 28-7 Marshawn Lynch goes over 100 yards rushing

New England @ Philadelphia:  Last times these two teams met the Eagles backup quarterback (A.J. Feeley) was in, and the Eagles almost pulled off an upset. Now 4 years later the Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young will start due to the cracked ribs of starter Michael Vick. Sports analyst Skip Bayless has went on to say that if Vince Young starts the Eagles WILL win this game. I'm not going to go that far but i will say i won't be surprised if the Eagles pull off the upset. Patriots win 28-15

Denver @ San Diego:  When the game is close and the ball is in Tim Tebows hands I think its safe to say that the game is pretty much over. The Chargers havent won since week 5 against the Broncos (Kyle Ortons) last start. I think if the Chargers can keep this game somewhat out of reach then Tim Tebow, and the Broncos wont have a chance. Phillip Rivers bounces back, and the Chargers win it 28-14

SNF Pittsburgh @ Kansas City:  As we saw last week Vs the Patriots Tyler Palko is...ehhh...Basically the Chiefs lost by 31 to the Patriots, and the Steelers have already beaten the Patriots. Why is this game primetime anyway? Pittsburgh wins 31-13


Manning Vs Brees on Monday Night Football!
MNF New York Giants @ New Orleans:  Game Of The Week!  The Giants have proven that they are for real, but need to win this game to be tied with the Cowboys for the NFC East lead. In a hostile environment like New Orleans with Drew Brees in company. I don't think the Giants can pull it off, Eli has proven his critics wrong before though. Saints win it 35-24
