As much as I wanted BAL to lose, I was so happy when they stomped on TEN's logo. I dunno if you guys realize how disrespectful TEN has been to teams the last two years, In a twist of irony, many of those teams got them back this year in some shape or form. Beautiful karma,

What were Titans up to?

The Cleveland NBA team lost last night, to the Bucks without the TWO TIME MVP GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO!!!

Remember that discussion we had a while back, or is that something we still don't talk about? ~_~

Well LeBron should have been MVP last season but at this point it really doesn't matter to him anymore he already won it four times he just wants more titles and the Lakers should easily repeat this year.

How much it mattered to LeBron (and it did matter) had zero factor on him winning it or not. Last time you said someone should easily repeat something, we all know what happened ;)



Getting back on topic, here were my picks for the weekend:

BUF over IND, 30-21
SEA over LAR, 24-17
TB over WAS, 24-10
BAL over TEN, 31-28
NO over CHI, 30-16
PIT over CLE, 28-14

The Titans were stomping on team logos pre games in away games. I only recall two this season, but one was mid season against the Ravens. The coaches started yelling at each other. Ravens coach claiming it was disrespectful. The Titans beat the Ravens that game in OT. So it was poetic justice when the Ravens got the INT to seal the game yesterday, perfectly on mid field, so the Ravens could return the logo stomping on the Titans

There's more this year, but I seem to recall more of last year's disrespect. Like telling the Browns they have no heart through out the game while blowing them out in the season opener, or mocking the Ravens "Woo Woo" post conference speech after eliminating them in the playoffs.

Context. JuJu of the Steelers has been making Tik Tok videos of him dancing on opposing teams logos to song called corvette corvette. He said the Browns are the same ol' Browns earlier this week (which gave the Browns much needed motivation for this game).

Thus the following video:

Harden should have repeated as MVP since his scoring numbers where historical.  Anyway the Lakers are better then they where last season so they will actually repeat easily I'm saying it now already whoever comes out of the east they will dispose in the finals in five games or less.

Awful cocky of the Steelers to spot the Browns 7.

Yeah, when that happened, I had a bad feeling that it was going to set the tone for the rest of the game.  It was very reminiscent to me of the bad snap on the first play of Super Bowl XLVIII that set the tone for Peyton Manning and the Broncos getting dominated by the Seahawks.  My only comfort was that after falling behind 28-0, the Steelers didn't completely roll over and go away quietly.  Mike Tomlin's bad coaching shined through though when he decided to punt the ball on 4th and 1 at midfield down by two scores and only 15 minutes left to play.  Still, it's the way I foresaw the season ending months ago, with not having a marquee halfback rendering Big Ben needing to throw almost 50 times a game to receivers he has mostly only played with this season (aside from JuJu).  Losing Bud Dupree on December 3rd was also a big loss to the defense and pass rush for the rest of the year.

Correction to the above: castor is locked into ninth place too.

Anyway, my thoughts on this first playoff weekend. It's doubly good that the Rams won. For one, the Seahawks are eliminated, and two, the Packers won't have to play against the Bucs this week. The Browns were the biggest surprise and they can do it again, because I don't think anyone will give them a real chance to beat the Chiefs.

I said this a while ago but I think the last team KC would want to face in the playoffs is the Browns. The Browns have lifted so many monkeys off their back the last couple of weeks; having a wining record for first time since 2007, reaching the playoffs for first time since 2002, winning at PIT stadium for first time since 2003, winning a playoff game first time since '94, and breaking playoff records along the way. They have nothing to prove to anyone else. Now they have a singular focus without caring about losing because they are playing with house money.

Browns played without their two corners this week, one of them being Denzel Ward who is arguably the best in the business. If he can shut down Tyrek Hill, they have a soid chance against canon arm Mahomes. But then again, I watched Mahomes enough to know better than to bet against him.

Are you seriously complaining about missing players? Did you even follow how depleted the Browns were against the Steelers? No. You don't get to make excuses this time XD

One and done just like the Steelers. How many times is this now?
