One Goal, Win It For Kevin – Louisville Cardinals Headed to Final Four

If you wonder what Kevin Ware means to the Louisville Cardinal’s, look no further than the tears and emotion of his teammates and Coach Rick Pitino following his gruesome injury in Louisville’s 85-63 win over Duke.  Some of the emotion was due to the extreme nature of the injury, but to everyone watching it was painfully obvious that Ware’s tournament/season was over.

For Louisville the message was simple.  From this point forward, “ONE GOAL, WIN IT FOR KEVIN”.

“We’re going to dig in. We’re going to play this game to the end. We’re going to play this game to get him back home.” – Rick Pitino

Ware Suffers Gruesome Injury In Win -Pitino, one of college basketball’s top winners, thought he had seen just about everything in the sport until Ware’s injury.

“I went over and I was going to help him up and then all of a sudden, I saw what it was and I almost literally threw up,” Pitino said. -ESPN.com

Turn Out The Lights, The Party Is Over San Fran! Blackout on Bourbon

Ray’s last stand was a memorable one.   1st and Goal for the 49ers at the Ravens 7 yardline.  LaMichael James 2 yards on the ground over the right side.  2nd and Goal, Kaepernick incomplete pass intended for Crabtree.  3rd and Goal, Kaepernick incomplete pass intended for Crabtree.  4th and Goal, Kaepernick incomplete pass intended for Crabtree.

Ball game! 34-31 Ravens!

More than Ray Lewis’s last stand,  Joe Flacco’s MVP performance,   San Francisco’s comeback effort, and “Bro Bowl I” between the Harbaugh’s;  Super Bowl XLVII will be remembered for the blackout in the Superdome.

The Ravens were leading 28-6 after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half 108 yards for a touchdown and the 49ers were facing 3rd and 13 from their own 40 when the lights went out.  Two-thirds of the lights in the Superdome went out due to an apparent power surge causing a 34 minute game delay in which the 49ers came roaring out of.  San Francisco was able to flip the momentum and 17 unanswered points later the Niners were with in five with three minutes left in the 3rd quarter.  The blackout reminded me of a fighter getting knocked down only to be saved by the bell.

In the end, Baltimore was able to hang on and walk out of New Orleans with another title.  Joe Flacco finished with 287 yards passing with 3 TD’s earning him MVP honors and Ray Lewis is headed out on top.

Few Have Been In The Line Of Fire In Battle – RGIII

Robert Griffin III left it  all on the field Sunday against the Seahawks, it being his valuable right knee.  Christian Ponder take notes.  We should have seen your right arm flopping around like a wet noodle before Joe Webb could even suit up.  I’m a big fan of RG3 and what he has accomplished this year, but to tweet this?  Come on, you have to know better.

Many may question, criticize & think they have all the right answers. But few have been in the line of fire in battle.

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) January 7, 2013

First of all, who is Questioning and Criticizing you?  You’re a lock for Rookie of the Year in a class with Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, and Doug Martin.  The Redskins had a hell of a season with you under center.

Are people telling you, you shouldn’t have let your knee fall apart like that?  Are they saying that you should have  watched more films on Loose Flopping Limbs on Fumble Recovery Attempts so you would be more prepared if the situation should arise?

Second, The right answers?  Who are you consulting with, SKYNET?  If you were a terminator, Washington could be moving on to play Atlanta this week.

Last, “few have been in the line of fire in battle”. RG3, have you?

In defense of RG3 he may bee too young to remember this from Kellen Winslow 2 in 06′.  Griffin was only 16 then.  Still you know have to know better.

What The Hell Happened To Christian Ponder? WTF Minnesota? Vikings Throw Out Joe Webb!?!

What The Hell Happened To Christian Ponder? WTF Minnesota?  Vikings Throw Out Joe Webb!?!

The headline says it all, What The Hell Happened To Christian Ponder? WTF Minnesota?  Vikings Throw Out Joe Webb!?!  

Will some one smarter than me, who knows more about football than me, who can explain to me; WTF happenen with Christain Ponder and the Vikings?  I don’t understant?  An Elbow Bruise?  Can we review that chapter?

Seriously, someone please explain it to me so I understand.

New SMACKcast – National Championship Preview – Alabama Crimison Tide And Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Tony Orlando from BamaHammer.com joined Flip Satchel on the SMACKcast to breakdown the National Championship through the eyes of Bama fans.

The 1st five people who tweet @smackapparel one of the 5 reasons Tony mentioned why Alabama will beat Notre Dame in the National Championship game will win free Smack Apparel gear.  Listen Now!!!

The main thing that intrigues me about The Crimson Tide and Nick Saban is coming up big in the Moment.  Look to the end of the LSU, Texas A&M, and the SEC Championship game. The Tide came out on top two out of the three. In that Moment Saban had nothing to do with the outcome, it’s the players execution that win or lose the game.

When you take a step back,  you realize Saban had everything to with that Moment.  Coaching that Moment is what separates Saban from the rest of the college football world, it’s the difference between winning and losing.

Your thoughts are welcome.
