The 2011 World Series: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Texas Rangers

At the start of this season I had one team from the 2010 World Series returning to the Fall Classic. The Giants. While I missed that, look for the other team, the Rangers, to win their first title in its 50 year history as they take on the St. Louis Cardinals beginning Wednesday in the 107th Fall Classic.

NBA Playoffs 2009-2010 First Round Matchups

The strain on Kobe to carry a team that was supposed to lean more on Ron Artest and Lamar Odom has been evident down the stretch. The health concerns of Andrew Bynum will likely increase the burden on Bryant. For the Thunder to have a shot, they will need to have Russell Westbrook step up as it is likely that Kevin Durant will be slowed from the attention showered on him by the Lakers D.

The National Football League NFC East- 2009 Preview:

For the Giants to get to the top of the East again, they’ll have to do it with a whole new receiver corps. With former Super Bowl-MVP David Tyree, Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer out of the picture, New York will depend on youth in their wideouts – Hakeem Nicks (first round) and Ramses Barden (third) to go with 5-year vet Domenik Hixon.

College Football Preview 2009: Part III

Mack Brown has 14 starters returning. The Longhorns are long on defense with 48 sacks to lead the nation last year, but they also lost end Brian Orakpo who won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the country’s top collegiate defender. Veteran Sergio Kindle and newcomer on the end position, Alex Okafor, could cause a lot of disruptions to opposing offenses this year. No doubt their game against rival Oklahoma will have national title implications.
