A lot of people think that their favorite team always gets bad calls or always blame the refs for losing. Well this week is different. My favorite team is the Miami Heat. They won 3 in a row and look great. My second favorite team is the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. I cannot complain that the Ravens didn't win this week because they didn't even play. Also the Packers defeated the Jets and the Saints beat the Steelers; my two teams I hate. And the boring game of baseball was good last night.
The Heat are better than the Jets. The Heat are 3-1 while the Jets are now 5-2. The Heat have one 3 in a row while the Jets just lost their second game. Their offense doesn't look good, the coaching didn't look great, and Mark Sanchez threw two picks. On the other hand, the Miami Heat have LeBron. You cannot go wrong with LeBron James, besides Dan Gilbert.
The Packers and the Ravens are both in great shape in each of their conferences. The Ravens are 5-2 along with the Jets and the Steelers. The Ravens beat both teams. The only team that's standing better are the Patriots and tied with the Chiefs. The Packers are great going into week 9. The Vikings and the Redskins lost. The Lions did win unfortunately. The Pack is in the lead looking forward to playing the atrocious Cowboys who are 1-6.
This is one of the best sports newsweek in a while. All of my favorite teams have won or had a bye this weekend. I had my first basketball game and we blew out the Alumni 120-60ish. All I need is to raise my grades and then i'll be happier.

4th and goal
A day late on this and a Philly loss. Watching football is always fun, even if you don't like either team. I like how the commentary always compliments the offense more than the defense. It's like they try to bring them up so the media has something to write about. I never use to see life like that. Everything is a business, everybody wants money. It seems as I get older, a lot of things become fake to me. Sports is becoming one of them. In the NBA, Tim Donaghy tried to fix games. If that is going on in the NBA, then it could in the NFL.
QB Donovan McNabb of the Washington Redskins, formerly on the Eagles, had his comeback to ol' Philadelphia. After 11 seasons with the Eagles, it was time for McNabb to move on; to a intradivisional rival. His homecoming started with a standing ovation. He didn't have his best game of his career but they still got the victory.
Little time left in the first half and Andy Reid calls a timeout. After the brief meeting with the referees, Kevin Kolb, QB of the Eagles, came back on the field with :11 left on the play clock and he didn't have enough time left to go for a touchdown at the foot yard line. A delay of game penalty was called and they decided to kick a field goal instead of a touchdown. The score was 17-6 instead of a possible 17-10 going into half could have been the game decision of which team won. Obviously that wasn't the only reason why they lost but that 4 points could have tied the game up. Philadelphia wouldn't of had to go for a 2 instead of kicking the extra point. It is tough when the referees have miscommunication with the scoreboard officials.
Football games are decided too much on officiating. Most of it is because too many people blame the referees. They are human like everyone else and coaches, players, and staff must remember that the ref and the clock work are two different things. Like in the UFC, do not leave it in the hand of the judges. If the Eagles would have came back and won, ESPN would not be talking about Andy Reid's awareness of the play clock. It is fortunate that he takes all of the blame instead of giving it to the refs. Washington called 2 of their 3 timeouts early in the second half and their last one with just under 20 minutes left in the game. Nobody looked at that because they won the game.
