New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts - 6:00 pm, CBS - Miami, FL. Here it is, the moment you all have been waiting for: the preview for Super Bowl XLIV between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.
Let's starts with the AFC Champions Indianapolis Colts. What is there to say? 14-2 might as well could have been 16-0. However they decide to take the starters out and rest them for the playoffs. Well, what could have been is now what might be one of the all time greats in all of the National Football League.

Traditional sports are great, but the extreme sports are definitely the real thing, too.
I have been very lucky to have been snow-skiing out West several times in my life, including visits in recent years to Whistler Mountain, Canada (where the Winter Olympics are about to go down) and the Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado area (where the 14th Winter X Games just went down last week). These places are beyond words in beauty, but are now not just resort get-a-ways. These places are now also home to some of the top athletes in the world - the extreme sports athletes of snowboarding, skiing and snowmobiling.

13.
Yes, 13. The University of Southern California Trojans and Head Coach Lane Kiffin have offered a football scholarship to a 13-year old kid from Delaware - and he accepted it. This story is crazy in so many ways that I nearly thought it was fake. So I looked into it, and sure enough, a 13-year old kid is now verbally commited to one of college football's most succesful programs not only of recent season, but of all-time.

Growing up, at the playground or in the backyard, we were all a part of neighborhood football games. And usually, whichever team landed the neighborhood bully would win the game. College football recruiting is similar, only there are more defined rules (er, sorta). Whichever teams land the best players - the bullies between the white lines - are usually the teams you see in the major bowls a couple of years later.....This year, with all of the coaching changes and controversies going on, recruiting had many storylines. How would Lane Kiffin do at Southern Cal? How would Urban Meyer do with limited health at Florida? How would Derek Dooley do at Tennessee with such short time? How would Tommy Tuberville do recruiting the Midwest for Texas Tech rather than his familiar Southeast?

If not for the fact that we have an entire Winter Olypmic Games to experience, I would say that Old Man Winter could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, the spring time sports are getting cranked up and ready to lead us into warmer months, but first we will be treated to an event that only comes around every four years. I enjoy very much watching the Winter Games, and this year they come from a place I have been to and really like: Whistler Mountain and Vancouver, BC....

Super Bowl XLIV - New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts
With Indianapolis defeating the NY Jets, and New Orleans finally hitting Brett Favre enough to put him and the Vikings away, we know now who will be in Miami for the biggest game of the year. This is the Saints' first appearance in the NFL's showcase event, while the Colts won a title just a few years back. Peyton Manning looks to cement himself as one of the game's all-time best quarterbacks with a win in two weeks.

AFC Title Game Preview

New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts - 3:00, Sunday. Yesterday I did a preview of the NFC Championship game and I went with the New Orleans Saints, and now here is my preview of the AFC Championship game between the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts.
Let's start with the New York Jets. Now it's been a long time since the Jets have been in the AFC championship game since they lost to the Denver Broncos in 1998. Now the Jets have a new Head Coach Rex Ryan and drafting rookie Quarterback Mark Sanchez. It was an interesting thing that was happen but now a really strong Defense that is considered....
