What Happened...

It came and went, Superbowl 50. Wow, a game to remember. The predictions about the game's outcome was everywhere. There were birds picking the winning team. Two old couples throwing ping pong balls into a cup and the winner's team would be the champs. Several inside bets and taunts in many workplaces that some got out of hand. Nonetheless the Broncos have won and it was an interesting game to say the least. Many mistakes were made on both sides and lots of missed opportunities as well. Regardless to which team you wanted to win it was a nice time spent with friends and family. Yeah there were a few idiots that had to celebrate a bit too much but let's hope they spent some time in jail reflecting on what that caused chaos proved. Hope everyone enjoyed the game I know I did. Maybe this coming year the 49ers will be in a decent spot; well maybe. :)

Chip of the Rock...

Dwayne Johnson - “Christmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy’s chest. And being a grateful man takes on a whole new meaning ...,” he captioned the photo. “Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you’ve been sending @laurenhashianofficial and myself. We’re extremely grateful.” Watching Dwayne go from complete rookie in WWE to what he has become now. A great character on and off camera. I have enjoyed several of his movies and found them to be entertaining. I have to be honest though, Scorpion King was a bit "ok" but we have to remember that this film was his first showing so I can't slam him too hard. What I am enjoying is a show called "Ballers" on HBO. It's a different side to the big teddy bear but very enjoyable to watch. Congrats to you and yours Dwayne - God Bless. MR

Ricky and Dolphins...

DAVIE, Fla. (UPI) -- The National Football League announced Wednesday Miami running back Ricky Williams can return to action late this month. Williams has been suspended since the 2005 season for violating the league's drug policy.
"Ricky Williams was notified this morning by Commissioner (Roger) Goodell that he has been reinstated as an NFL player," the league said in a statement. "Williams can begin attending team meetings and practicing immediately, but will not be eligible to play in games until Week 12 when the Dolphins play at Pittsburgh (Monday night, Nov. 26). The Dolphins will receive a roster exemption for Williams for up to two weeks when he begins practicing, starting no later than Monday." Williams was suspended in April 2006 for his fourth violation of the league's anti-drug policy. He then signed a one-year deal with Toronto of the Canadian Football League, where he ran for 623 yards. He missed two months of the 2006 season with a broken arm. His reinstatement to the NFL does not guarantee he will be on the Miami roster. Miami Coach Cam Cameron said Wednesday that he and Williams, "will sit down and visit."

My wife might be thrilled to hear that her favorite player is back but then again will he make a huge difference in how they are currently playing? I hope that for the teams sake they try and improve their defensive team, because from what I've seen they need it pretty bad.

Buckeyes lossing 1...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) -- Juice Williams threw four touchdown passes Saturday afternoon, as Illinois knocked off the top-ranked and previously unbeaten Ohio State Buckeyes, 28-21. Williams threw for 140 yards on 12-of-22 passing and also ran for 70 yards for the Fighting Illini (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten), who defeated a nationally top-ranked team for the first time since they beat Michigan in 1956.
Marques Wilkins, Michael Hoomanawanui, Brian Gamble and Jacob Willis all caught touchdown passes from Williams in the victory. Todd Boeckman struggled behind center, completing 13-of-23 passes with no touchdowns and three interceptions for the Buckeyes (10-1, 6-1), who suffered their first loss of the season and saw their 28-game regular season win streak end.

We're one week away and the Buckeyes have shown a little normalcy. The top ranked Buckeyes have gone down during the Ohio Illinois game. With just a week before the big game here between the Bucks and the Wolverines a lot of speculation is going around that this might not go so well for Michigan, with Ohio losing the way they did this may charge them up for the next game. I on the other hand see this as a possible plus - they're hurting right now so a game against Michigan might make things worse for the Bucks. All Michigan has to do is present a strong front keep the momentum moving forward and don't look back.

Congrats to the hard workers...

Randy Moss named to weekly player honor

NEW YORK (UPI) -- New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss Wednesday was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
In a 24-20 victory against Indianapolis, Moss scored once on nine receptions for 145 yards. Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison (defense), and San Diego defensive back Antonio Cromartie (special teams) were the other AFC honorees. Harrison had nine tackles, one interception, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and 3 ½ sacks as the Steelers trounced Baltimore, 38-7. Cromatie returned a missed field goal 109 yards for the longest play in NFL history in the Chargers 35-17 loss to Minnesota.
Named in the NFC were Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson (offense), who scored three times while rushing for an NFL single-game record 296 yards on 30 attempts, Detroit tackle Shaun Rogers (defense), who raced 66 yards for a touchdown after a pass interception in the Lions 44-7 rout of Denver, and Washington placekicker Shaun Suisham (special teams), who booted five field goals in a 23-20 overtime win over the New York Jets.

It would of been nice to see some of the players from the 49ers team mentioned but it looks like they have to do a little more to get that special announcement. With the way things are going thus far for the niners I hope that they at least get one or two more wins before the season is over.
