Current Poll Results: NFC

So for the first week of NFC voting, here are the results.

NFC South Champion: New Orleans Saints

NFC East Champion: Philadelphia Eagles

NFC North Champion: Chicago Bears

NFC West Champion: Your local high school team.

So there you have it, week 1 is complete and the NFC West still doesn’t have an NFL team winning the division. That’ll change (hopefully). We’ll check the AFC next week and I’ll see you tomorrow.

USA vs. Brazil

The US Soccer team won’t play against Mexico on September 9th, thus dashing hopes of my challenge with Ibearg. Instead, the US will face…………..BRAZIL!! That is going to be a wicked game, but you knew that the US had to play it at home before getting their hineys kicked. According to SI, the US canceled the Mexico game because..

“The Americans had been scheduled to play Mexico at Azteca Stadium on Sept. 9 in a rematch of the Gold Cup final. The game was canceled because of what the U.S. Soccer Federation said were “contractual and financial considerations.”

Which really means: “We don’t have a chance when we play Mexico on the road, let’s play Brazil at home.”

I’m a pretty excited person right now, how huge would this be for US Soccer if they can compete against Brazil?

My Answer: Depends, we don’t know Brazil’s squad yet.

I Think the Sonics are Going to Oklahoma City

Seattle Sonics minority owner and public enemy #1 Aubrey McClendon brilliantly said that the intention for Seattle was to move the team to Oklahoma City. According to the AP, McClendon said…….

“We know it’s a little more difficult financially here in Oklahoma City, but we think it’s great for the community and if we could break even we’d be thrilled,” he told the newspaper, also saying he was “under a self-imposed gag order” in regards to the business end of the Sonics.

Retard.

I think he forgets that if the Sonics continue to struggle once they make their move to OK City, the fan base is going to drop. If the fan base drops, the Sonics franchise will be no longer. Seattle is a small market, it’s tucked up 200 miles away from Canada, but it’s the city in which they have been thriving for 40 years.

McClendon continued is idiotic rambling by saying this…..

McClendon said Oklahoma City has a “can-do spirit” and a supportive fan base.

“This is a sports town; nobody ever knew it was a pro sports town. I think it is,” he said.

On the flip side, he said he doesn’t feel Seattleites have the same enthusiasm.

“They take pride in Seattle not needing a NBA team to be considered a world-class city. That’s probably true, they don’t,” he said.

Thank you Sherlock.

So brace yourselves Seattleites, see the Sonics 41 more times, because it’ll be the last 41 times. I just wonder why literally every Seattle sports franchise has threatened to move?
