Light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!!

Sorry Austin for not keeping with the trend yesterday, the past few weeks have been insanely busy and it doesn't look like easing up in the near future as the wife and i are due to expect the arrival of our 2nd son in the next few hours, days, or weeks its that close, but i do see "Light at the end of the tunnel"

Anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superbowl Sunday:
What a game, in particular what a 4th quarter. I have new found respect for QB's and their calming ability to perform game winning drives where the possibility that just one misplaced pass goes astray and so do your hopes of winning the most prestigious title in American sports.

Big Ben produced the most memorable game winning drive that i have witnessed since coming to the States and taking part in the Superbowl Sunday Euphoria. In supporting Manchester United all these years and being passionate about it beyond belief i have been used to them doing things the hard way in winning titles over the past 10-15 years, but nothing like this final drive by the Steelers.

In his post match interview Holmes said he wanted the ball, he wanted to make the plays to win the Superbowl for his team. You need some "Chun duoys" (that's Chinese for "Balls" for anyone that wants to know) in a game of this magnitude to be able to say that let alone execute it, but to his credit he delivered and now the Pittsburgh Steelers are the most successful franchise in Superbowl history.

Going back to my "doing things the hard way" did you see Holmes miss a catch with no pressure at all around him on 2nd down i think it was just before he caught the game winning touchdown in 2 yards of space surrounded by 3 Cardinals players....... hence my respect for QB's, for Big Ben to put the ball on a dime so to speak with barely no room to maneuver is incredible and well worthy of an MVP, but can anyone begrudge Holmes of his nomination...... i can't. Congratulations Steelers

English Premiership:
Well things are finally taking shape in the most exciting season yet, even with defeat at Anfield on Sunday i still see Chelsea finishing 3rd in the top 4, but now see Villa taking Arsenal spot in 4th place after some impressive performances under Martin O'neil.

Liverpool went out of the FA Cup last night to Everton and losing Stevie G for 3 weeks..... no he has not been sent to jail just yet LOL, but he will be missing due to a torn hamstring. Given the fact that he has rescued Liverpool so many times and he is their driving force and also Rafa's complete stupidity in selling Keane back to Spurs i now see United regaining their title in May.

Its all squeaky bum time down at the bottom of the table, really anyone from 8th place can go down, 2 wins for any team on the bounce and they move like 9 places which in recent Premiership campaigns has been unheard of, but i am going to predict the following 3 teams that will be relegated to the Championship.
18 - Newcastle United
19 - Stoke City
20 - West Brom

TV:
Shows on the box right now are class, i have subjected myself to 2 new programs "The Beast" & "Damages"
The Beast is actually quite good, Patrick Swayze i have always liked since the days of his movies "Youngblood" & "Roadhouse", but i was actually impressed by the first few episodes... check it out.

Damages has just started season 2 so i picked it up late, but its not hard to get to grips with what happened in Season 1 as their are enough flashbacks, i have never liked Glen Close acting or looks, but she is actually pretty damn good in this drama. Her assistant is Ellen is quite hot, but the storyline is cool... check it out.

Nip Tuck - Classic for any guy to watch
24 - Best Season start yet, can they keep it up throughout the entire season
House - Class above no other
CSI Miami - Getting boring
The Unit - Awesome
Burn Notice - you have got to check this out, people call it cheesy, but i really like it

Looking forward to the return of Prison Break...... see ya next week
