ONLY 1 GAME

LEFT AND IT MATTERS FOR THE REST OF THE OFF-SEASON AND WEEK 17. OUR BROWNS TRAVEL TO PITTSBURGH TO TAKE ON THE STEELERS. HERE ARE MY KEYS TO THE GAME:

SCORE A TOUCHDOWN: BY SCORING TOUCHDOWNS, YOU KEEP BIG BEN THROWING AND HE'S NOT GOOD WHEN HE'S FORCED TO THROW 25 OR MORE TIMES.

GET AN EARLY LEAD: THIS IS SOMETHING THE BROWNS HAVE REALLY FAILED TO DO SINCE BUFFALO. GETTING THE EARLY LEAD, STEMS IN WITH KEY 1.

D-FENCE: WE NEED THE D TO TACKLE, BLITZ AND BLITZ AND BLITZ AND BLITZ.

SHOW SOME FIRE AND PASSION COACHES: THIS IS SOMETHING THE TOO HAVE FAILED TO DO SINCE BUFFALO. ROMEO KNOWS HES MOSTLY LIKELY OUT AS HEAD COACH. THE GM SMELLS. THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR HASN'T PUT A GOOD GAME PLAN TOGETHER SINCE THE GIANTS GAME. THE D COORDINATOR CONTINUES TO BELIEVE IN ONLY RUSHING THREE ON 3RD DOWNS.

JUST WIN BABY: THE BROWNS JUST HAVE TO WIN BABY, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE OUR CURRENT SITUATION. IF WE DON'T SCORE MULTIPLE OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS IN THIS ONE, ALL COACHES SHOULD NOT EVEN RETURN TO CLEVELAND. HAND THEM THEIR PINK SLIPS THEN. GO BROWNS GO. I PREDICT THE BROWNS IN A DEFENSIVE BATTLE TODAY WILL PLAY FOR THEIR COACHES ONE LAST TIME AND WIN OUR SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR. 20-17.

BATTLE OF OHIO

I'M 1-1 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK SO FAR. SO HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE......THE BROWNS VS THE BENGALS ON A COLD AND BLUSTERY DAY IN CLEVELAND, FOR THE BATTLE OF OHIO. I PREDICT THE BROWNS IN A SHOOTOUT. SOME MAY SAY I'M CRAZY, I PROBABLY AM BUT WHEN YOU GET TWO TEAMS WHO HAVE A TERRIBLE SEASONS AND THEY SQUARE OFF AGAINST EACH OTHER, SOMETIMES AN OLD FASHIONED SHOOTOUT HAPPENS. THE BROWNS BY A FIELD GOAL, 48-45.

MNF WEEK 15

AND SO FAR THIS WEEK IN MY PICKS I'VE DONE OK, SORRY FOR NOT BLOGGING BUT I'VE BEEN BUSY. SO HIS IS MY PICK BETWEEN THE EAGLES AND OUR BROWNS TONIGHT:

THE BROWNS WILL EAT A PIECE OF THE BIG DAWG IN THE NFC EAST. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO WIN BUT THEY WILL MAKE 3-0 ON MNF FOR THE YEAR. GO BROWNS GO. THEY WILL WIN IT ON A HAIL MARY WITH A TIE SCORE, WITH NO TIME LEFT IN OVERTIME. 33-27.

THIS IS WEEK 14

AND I AM ALREADY 1-0 THIS WEEK AS THE CHARGERS HAMMERED THE RAIDERS THURSDAY NIGHT. THE BROWNS PLAYED TOUGH LAST WEEK BUT LOST AND NOW FIND THEIR THIRD DIFFERENT QB THIS YEAR IN KEN DORSEY. ALL OF THE EXPERTS THIS WEEK BELIEVE THE BROWNS HAVE NO SHOT AT WINNING TODAY AGAINST THE TITANS. I DO KNOW ONE THOUGH, AND THAT IS ME, SO HERE ARE MY WEEK 14 PICKS:

NYG TIE PHI: I THINK ITS GOING TO BE THE SECOND BEST GAME OF THE DAY. 24-24. YES MCNABB IT IS POSSIBLE TO TIE AGAIN.

CAR OVER TAM: ANOTHER GREAT GAME. 23-22.

FINALLY ITS CLE OVER TEN: I KNOW IM THE ONLY BESIDES MY BEST FRIEND BILL, AND LISA WHO ARE GIVING THE BROWNS A SHOT TO WIN. HA HA WE WILL SPOOK THE WORLD THIS WEEK BY BEING RIGHT AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN GET HIRED AT CBS TO DO THE NFL TODAY. I HEAR BILL COWHER'S SPOT WILL BE OPEN SOON. FINALLY ITS CLE OVER TEN: 27-20. THIS ONE WILL BE SO GO, THAT BRUCE GRADKOWSKI IS GOING TO COME IN AND PLAY FOR KEN DORSEY BECAUSE DORSEY MIGHT HAVE THE RUNS BY HALFTIME OR THE SCREAMING SHI!! SO THEN IN THE SECOND HALF THE BROWNS WILL TIE IT LATE IN THE GAME AT 20 WITH A RARE BRAYLON TOUCHDOWN. THE D WILL GET A STOP. BRUCE COMES BACK IN AND THROWS ANOTHER BALL TO BRAYLON FROM 40 YARDS OUT AS TIME EXPIRES AND THE BROWNS WIN. GRADKOWSKI IS THE HERO AND BECOMES KNOWN TO ALL OF CLEVELAND AS "BRUCE ALMIGHTY".

WINSLOW NEEDS TO STOP CRYING AND WE NEED TO PLAY CLEVELAND BROWNS FOOTBALL THE WAY WE ARE CAPABLE OF. I SAY LET'S STOP THIS SOAP OPERA AND PLAY FOOTBALL.

MY PICK IS NYG OVER WAS: THIS GAME WILL BE A CLOSE ONE AND IT COULD MEAN THAT THE GIANT DEFENSE IS IN FOR A LONG YEAR. 30-27.

PRESEASON WRAPS UP

TONIGHT AT CLEVELAND BROWNS STADIUM. THE BROWNS WILL PLAY THE BEARS IN THEIR FINAL TUNE-UP BEFORE THE REGULAR SEASON, WHICH BEGINS NEXT WEEK AT HOME AGAINST DALLAS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN WIN AT LEAST 1 GAME THIS PRESEASON. GO BROWNS GO!!!!!

BROWNS SHOW NO BACK DOWN

FROM BEING DOWN 30-3 IN NY ON MONDAY NIGHT. THEIR COMEBACK FELL JUST SHORT, AS THEY LOST 37-34. THE BROWNS STARTERS PLAYED WELL FOR ONE SERIES AND THEN AFTER THAT IT WAS ALL DOWN HILL. UP NEXT FOR THE BROWNS IS THE ALL IMPORTANT 3RD PRESEASON GAME AGAINST THE LIONS. GO BROWNS AND I HOPE THEY CAN BRING THE GLC TROPHY BACK TO CLEVELAND.

BROWNS VS GIANTS TONIGHT

BROWNS FALL

24-20 LAST NIGHT AGAINST THE JETS AT BROWNS STADIUM IN THE PRESEASON OPENER. THERE WERE LOTS OF POSITIVES. THE TWO THAT STAND OUT THE MOST ARE THE FIRST TEAM DEFENSIVE STAND AND FIRST TEAM OFFENSE TAKING IT DOWN THE FIELD ON THE FIRST POSSESSION AND SCORING A TD. BRADY QUINN ALSO LOOKED GOOD, EVEN WITH THE SECOND TEAM. NEXT GAME IS MONDAY THE 18TH AGAINST THE GIANTS FOR A NATIONALLY TELEVISED PRESEASON MONDAY NIGHT GAME AT 8 PM.

BROWNS

OPEN TRAINING CAMP TODAY AT 3:30- 5:30. CAMP IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO...WOOF WOOF. POWER POLLS COMING SOON.

HERE ARE MY

PICKS FOR THIS WEEKS CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

CLE OVER PHI: BERNIE AND OUR VERY OWN GLADS WIN A CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP IN A THRILLING BATTLE THAT SHOULD COME DOWN TO THE FINAL POSSESSION. GO GLADS GO. PREDICTION: GLADS 63 PHI 59.

GRR OVER SJ: I THINK THE RAMPAGE ARE A VERSION OF LAST YEAR'S C-BUS TEAM. TWO HIGH SCORING TEAMS WILL MAKE THE ARENA BOWL THIS YEAR. PREDICTION: GRR 56 SJ 55.

DIVISION ROUND

IS HERE FOR THE AFL PLAYOFFS AND CLEVELAND WILL BE PLAYING THE GEORGIA FORCE MONDAY NIGHT. I WENT 2-2 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK AND NOW HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

SJ OVER COL: THIS WILL BE A CLOSE BATTLE WITH SJ PULLING IT OUT IN THE END.
NY OVER PHI: I CAN SEE THIS GAME BEING PLAYED SIMILAR TO LAST WEEKS GAME AGAINST DALLAS.

CHI OVER GRR: THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH.

CLE OVER GEO: GEO HAS BEEN ON A ROLL BUT IT'S TOUGH TO KEEP PLAYING FLAWLESS FOOTBALL LIKE THEY ARE AND THAT IS WHY I LIKE MY GLADIATORS IN THIS ONE. I THINK THEY WILL CLEAN UP THE MISTAKES AND WIN BY 3 63-60.

ITS PLAYOFF TIME

AND THAT MEANS JUST WIN BABY! AFTER A WILD WEEK 17 THAT SAW NOT ONLY ME GO 7-1 IN MY PICKS BUT ALSO SAW OUR CLEVELAND GLADIATORS GET A HOME PLAYOFF GAME. YES THAT IS RIGHT THANKS TO A NEW ORLEANS LOSS AND PHILADELPHIA WIN, WE WILL PLAY THIS MONDAY NIGHT, JUNE 30TH AT THE Q AGAINST THE ORLANDO PREDATORS. TELEVISED LIVE ON ESPN2 THIS GAME WILL BE A GREAT GAME THROUGHOUT. GO GLADS GO. HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR WILDCARD WEEKEND:

NY OVER DAL: DALLAS WILL BE SENT PACKING AGAIN.

UT OVER COL: THIS GAME IS COMING DOWN TO WHOMEVER WILL HAVE THE BALL LAST.

ARI OVER GRR: THIS GAME MAY ALSO COME DOWN TO WHOMEVER HAS THE BALL LAST.
CLE OVER ORL: PREDS BACKED INTO THE PLAYOFFS, NOW WILL BE GONE JUST LIKE THAT AS THE GLADS SHOULD BEAT THEM START TO FINISH, IF NOT IT TO WILL COME DOWN TO THE FINAL POSSESSION.

WEEK 17 PICKS

ITS WIN OR GO HOME WEEK IN THE AFL. MOST TEAMS IN BOTH CONFERENCES HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR. THAT IS THE CASE FOR OUR HOME TOWN GLADS. WINNING TONIGHT AGAINST C-BUS MEANS PLAY ON IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT LOSE AND ITS GO HOME AND THANKS FOR PLAYING. AS FAR AS GETTING A HOME PLAYOFF GAME GOES TWO OTHER THINGS MUST HAPPEN AND THAT IS A VOODOO LOSS TO GRAND RAPIDS TONIGHT AND A DRAGONS LOSS TO THE SOUL TOMORROW. SO HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR WEEK 17:

CLE OVER C-BUS: GLADS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN A HIGHLY CONTESTED BATTLE.
GRR OVER NVD: RAMPAGE HELP THEMSELVES AND THE GLADS IN A BIG WAY.
LA OVER TAM: AVENGERS READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

DAL OVER CHI: THIS WILL BE DESPOS FINAL WIN THIS YEAR.

WILD WEEK 17

IS AHEAD FOR THE ENTIRE AFL AS 8 TEAMS ARE BATTLING FOR 6 PLAYOFF SPOTS LEFT, 4 IN EACH CONFERENCE. I WENT 5-3 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK BUT COULDN'T GO 7-1 OR 8-0 DUE TO LOSSES BY OUR OWN GLADS, C-BUS, AND ARIZONA. EXPERT PICKS TOMORROW, GO GLADS GO. THE GLADS NEED TO ONLY WIN THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE IN BUT A LOSS MEANS SEE YA NEXT YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WEEK 16 IS A WILD ONE

AS A LOT OF TEAMS CAN CLINCH INCLUDING OUR HOME TOWN CLEVELAND GLADIATORS. A GLADS WIN COUPLED WITH A STORM LOSS AND ORLANDO LOSS IS 1 SCENARIO. THE OTHER IS A GLADS WIN, STORM LOSS, AND FORCE WIN. THESE ARE ACCORDING TO ARENAFOOTBALL.COM. IT WILL BE A FUN WEEK AS MOST OF THE IMPORTANT GAME THAT SURROUND CLEVELAND GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME AND ARE ALL ON TV. HERE ARE MY WEEK 16 PICKS:

THE GLADS CAN CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT THIS WEEK WITH A WIN AND A TAMPA BAY STORM LOSS. GO GLADS GO. BY WINNING THEIR NEXT TWO, THE GLADS MIGHT FIND THEMSELVES WITH A HOME PLAYOFF GAME AS WELL. THE FINAL TWO WEEKS OF THE SEASON SHALL BE FUN.

ARI OVER KC: ARIZONA IS STARTING TO PLAY WELL.

CLE OVER DAL: GO GLADS GO. I CAN'T STAND THAT TEAM ESPECIALLY THEIR QB.
GEO OVER TAM: FORCE ARE PLAYING HOT RIGHT NOW.
ARI OVER ORL: RATTLERS SHOW PREDS HOW IT'S DONE IN THE WEST.
CHI OVER KC: IF RUSH DON'T WIN THEY WILL BE IN TROUBLE BY NEXT WEEK.
LA OVER SJ: AVENGERS STILL CELEBRATING A LAKERS WIN, WILL GIVE LA MORE REASONS TO CHEER AFTER A WIN OF THEIR OWN.

UTA OVER GRR: BLAZE ARE BLAZING TEAMS NOW.

COL OVER NY: DRAGONS STARTING TO SLIP AND SLIDE.

WEEK 13

IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS. I DIDN'T DO SO WELL LAST WEEK IN MY PICKS.

KC OVER PHI: SOUL GETS CAUGHT IS SHORT WEEK.

CLE OVER TAM: GLADS ALL BUT LOCK UP PLAYOFF BIRTH.
ORL OVER DAL: GLADS MAY CATCH DAL AFTER ALL.

C-BUS OVER NY: NY REALLY DISLIKES C-BUS.
CHI OVER UT: BLAZE THE TRAIL.
ARI OVER GRR: SHOULD BE A DEFENSIVE GAME.
SJ OVER COL: SABERCATS STARTING TO ROLL A LITTLE.

NVD OVER GEO: THIS GAME CRUCIAL FOR GLADS.

CAVS VS CELTICS GAME 7

TODAY AT 3. THE CAVS NEED TO PLAY A FULL 48 MINUTES AND THAT I THINK THEY WILL DO. GO CAVS GO. ALSO A SIDE NOTE, BIG WIN FOR THE GLADIATORS LAST NIGHT AS THEY FORCED A FUMBLE LATE TO SEAL THE GAME AND EVENTUALLY WIN 50-46, GOOD JOB GUYS.

WEEK 12

IS HERE. LAST WEEK I WENT 4-4 IN MY PICKS. I AM BACK FOR A BETTER RECORD THIS TIME. GO GLADS GO. HERE ARE MY PICKS:

GRR OVER TAM: RAMPAGE HANGING TIGHT WITH THE 6 SPOT.

CLB OVER PHI: SOUL LOSE 3RD STRAIGHT.
CLE OVER COL: GLADS WILL GET THE PAYBACK.
DAL OVER ARI: DESPOS WILL WIN, IF NOT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.
UTA OVER SJ: BLAZE LOOKING LIKE THE TEAM OF OLD.

KC OVER ORL: JUST A HUNCH.
GEO OVER NY: FORCE STOP NY STREAK.

CHI OVER LA: CHI WINS YET ANOTHER DIVISION CROWN.

WEEK 11

IS FINALLY HERE AND THESE ARE MY PICKS:

CLE OVER ORL: GLADS PICK UPO THE POTENTIAL TIE-BREAK BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS FOR THE 4 SPOT ( A HOME PLAYOFF GAME ON WILDCARD WEEKEND).
NO OVER TAM: TAMPA HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
SJ OVER ARI: DEFENDING CHAMPS ARE NOT VERY STRONG BUT WILL WIN THIS ONE.

C-BUS OVER KC: C-BUS PICKS UP WIN NUMBER 3.
DAL OVER GR: RAMPAGE WILL PLAY THEM TOUGH THOUGH.
UTAH OVER COL: CRUSH NOT THAT TOUGH.
LA OVER NY: DRAGONS HAD ALL THE FUN BEFORE THERE BYE WEEK, NOW THEY WILL HAVE NO FUN THE REST OF THE YEAR.

PHI OVER GEO: PHIL WON'T LOSE 2 IN A ROW.

WEEK 10 GONE....WEEK 11 NEARS

I WENT 5 -3 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK. OUR CLEVELAND GLADIATORS HANDED THE PHILADELPHIA SOUL THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON. THIS WEEKS MATCH UP AGAINST THE VISITING PREDATORS IS MUCH BIGGER. THIS GAME WILL SERVE AS THE TIE-BREAKER GAME TO SEE WHO WILL MOST LIKELY GET A HOME PLAYOFF GAME.

ANOTHER WEEK: WEEK 10

WEEK 10 IS HERE, AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

CLE OVER PHIL: CLEVELAND GETS BACK ABOVE 500, GO GLADS GO.
COL OVER GR: RAMPAGE GET TAKEN DOWN.

NO OVER GEO: VOODOO MAY BE THE TEAM TO BEAT.
CLB OVER DAL: DAL GETS CAUGHT IN A TRAP GAME.
SJ OVER ORL: SJ HELPS OUT CLEVELAND FOR NEXT WEEK.
UTAH OVER KC: BLAZE FINALLY PICK UP WIN NUMBER 1.
LA OVER ARI: KI WILL BE TOO MUCH FOR ARIZONA.

CHI OVER TAM: STORM GETTING WEAKER.

GLADS FALL TO 4-4

AND I WENT 5-3 IN MY PICKS THIS WEEK. GETTING DOWN TO THINGS, THE GLADS DIDN'T PLAY WELL AT ALL FROM THE SECOND QUARTER ON. RAYMOND PHILAW YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE BALL BETTER AND THE COACHES YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM BETTER PREPARED THE NEXT TIME.

THE INDIANS ARE STILL STRUGGLING. THEY WON 5 IN A ROW AND NOW HAVE LOST 3 IN A ROW DUE TO THE LACK OF OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION. TIME TO FIRE WEDGE? SHAPIRO? OR MAYBE THE DOLAN'S SHOULD SELL THE TEAM TO A MORE SUITABLE BUYER WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THE TEAM AND SPEND THE MONEY.

WEEK 9

IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

GR OVER KC: KC HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
NO OVER UTAH: VOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOO.
CHI OVER COL: RUSH IN A FLUSH OF THE CRUSH.
ARI OVER GEO: GOING WITH A COIN FLIP ON THIS ONE.

CLE OVER NY: GLADS FANS LETS KEEP IT ROLLING. GO GLADS GO.
ORL OVER TAM: THE WAR ON I-4 GOES TO ORLANDO.
SJ OVER LA: LA GAVE UP 83 POINTS TO US LAST WEEK, THEY MAY GIVE UP 93 TO SJ.

DAL OVER PHI: DAL GETS IT DONE.

GLADS TAKE OUT AVENGERS

AND WILL PLAY NEW YORK NEXT WEEK ON FSN OHIO IN A PIVOTAL GAME. THE GLAD LAST NIGHT DEFEATED THE AVENGER 83-69. NOT VERY MUCH DEFENSE FROM EITHER SIDE BUT LIKE COACH WIPOLT SAID BEFORE THE GAME WHOEVER MADE THE MOST PLAYS WAS GOING TO WIN THE GAME. THE DEFENSE DID ENOUGH TO WIN AND THE OFFENSE TOOK CARE OF THE REST. GO GLADS AND PLAY LIKE YOU DID THIS WEEK AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE COMING HOME WITH A 5-3 RECORD INSTEAD OF 4-4. ON A SIDE NOTE THE INDIANS STILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AFTER DROPPING YET ANOTHER SERIES AND WASTING YET ANOTHER GOOD PITCHING PERFORMANCE FROM PAUL BYRD. I THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE SOME MOVES.

WEEK 8 IS HERE

AND MY PICKS ARE BELOW. BEFORE THAT CONGRATS TO THE INDIANS FOR FINALLY HITTING AND DESTROYING THE TIGERS LAST NIGHT. SO HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS:

TAM OVER NY: SOMEONE MUST STOP NY.
SJ OVER UT: IF SJ LOSES THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG THAT IS NOT APPARENT WITH THE NAKED EYE.
ARI OVER NO: I HAVE A GUT FEELING.

COL OVER KC: WHAT WAY WILL KC LOSE THIS WEEK.
ORL OVER GEO: TEAMS ARE SURPRISING THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY GEO BEING WEAK.
CLE OVER LA: A MUST WIN FOR OUR GLADIATORS.

CHI OVER GR: RAMPAGE ARE NOT WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE.

C-BUS OVER PHI: MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL RETURNS TO C-BUS AND THEY WILL BE READY. THIS GAME WILL MAKE OR BREAK C-BUS. I THINK IT WILL MAKE THEM AND HOPEFULLY TURN THEIR SEASON AROUND.

WEEK 7

HERE WE GO. THE TRIBE HAS RETURNED HOME AFTER A 2-4 ROAD TRIP AS THE TAKE ON THE OAKLAND A'S TONIGHT AT P.......... FIELD. MEANWHILE THE GLADIATORS RETURN HOME FROM A 3 GAME ROAD TRIP TO FACE THE JOHN ELWAY OWNED COLORADO CRUSH. HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

CLE OVER COL: BERNIE BEATS ELWAY FOR FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS.

NO OVER DAL: SOMEONE FINALLY TAKES OUT BIG D.
SJ OVER PHI: SABERCATS CAN'T BE ALL THAT BAD.
LA OVER UTA: WHO IS WORSE.

GR OVER ORL: RAMPAGE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
TAM OVER ARI: STORM HAVE BEEN CALM THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
CLB OVER NY: C-BUS STARTING TO FIND THEIR STRIDE.
CHI OVER KC: BRIGADE IN SHAMBLE.

TRIBE LOSES AND REST OF WEEK 6

THE TRIBE LOST 6-3 MAINLY BECAUSE OF ERIC WEDGE'S INABILITY TO MANAGE. HERE IS THE REST OF WEEK 6 IN THE AFL:

PHI OVER UTA: PHI IS HOT HOT HOT.
GR OVER NY: RAMPAGE MAY SCORE 100 THIS WEEK.
SJ OVER NO: SABERCATS TAME VOODOO.
CHI OVER ORL: PREDS ARE NOT WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE.
CLB OVER TAM: C-BUS WEATHERS THE STORM AGAIN.
CLE OVER DAL: DALLAS REALLY HATES TEAMS FROM OHIO.

WEEK 6 AND TRIBE

HERE ARE MY EXPERT PICKS FOR TONIGHT'S AFL GAMES.

KC OVER GEO: KC CAN'T BE THIS BAD.
LA OVER COL: I DON'T KNOW WHAT TEAM IS WORSE.

FINALLY THE 2-1 INDIANS START THEIR 6 GAME ROAD TRIP STARTING WITH OAKLAND TONIGHT AND ENDING WITH ANAHEIM ON WEDNESDAY. GO TRIBE. IF THEY PLAY WELL ENOUGH THEY SHOULD END UP ANYWHERE WITH 4-5 WINS ON THIS TRIP. 6 WOULD BE NICE THOUGH. THIS EARLY ROAD TRIP COULD TELL THE TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS YEAR'S TRIBE.

WILD WEEK AHEAD

FIRST CONGRATS TO THE TRIBE AS THEY GOT THEIR SEASON STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT BY DEFEATING THE WHITE SOX 10-8 YESTERDAY. THEY WILL NOW PLAY WED, AND THURSDAY BEFORE LEAVING FOR OAKLAND ON A WEST COAST TRIP. SECONDLY THE DESTROYERS FELL TO 1-4 BY LOSING ON A LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL. IF THEY EVER GOT AN OFFENSE GOING THEY COULD BE A DANGEROUS TEAM. THERE STILL IS TIME TO CATCH UP AS 3 OF THEIR NEXT 4 GAMES OUR AT C-BUS.

WEEK 5

KICKED OFF LAST NIGHT AS THE RUSH DEFEATED THE RATTLERS AT ALLSTATE ARENA. THOUGH I DIDN'T POST MY PICK WAS THE RUSH. TODAY HAS A GOOD SLATE OF GAMES AND HERE THEY ARE:

TAM OVER PHI: TAMPA IS STRONGER.
KC OVER SJ: PROVE ME WRONG KC THAT ALLOWING 92 POINTS WAS A FLUKE.
CLB OVER ORL: I AM GOING TO THE GAME TO SEE IT IN PERSON.
UTAH OVER GEO: UTAH WILL NOT GO 0-5.
GR OVER LA: GR WILL GET A WARM WELCOME AFTER SCORING 92 POINTS.
DAL OVER NY: DRAGONS WILL KEEP IT CLOSE.
NO OVER COL: VOODOO MIGHT HAVE FOUND THEIR QB.

WEEK 4 IN REVIEW

WEEK 4 BROUGHT MANY SURPRISES. THE GLADIATORS TOOK THEIR BYE WEEK A LITTLE TOO SOON AND GOT POUNCED ON BY THE VOODOO 63-24. JUST WHEN C-BUS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE HEADED TO AN 0-4 START, THEY TURNED THINGS AROUND AND WON ON A GAME WINNING FIELD GOAL WITH 1 SECOND LEFT. THESE GUYS WERE DOWN 35-20 AT HALF. AFTER SOME ADJUSTMENTS, C-BUS LOOKED LIKE THE TEAM OF OLD. GOOD JOB. LAST NIGHT WAS NOT A NIGHT TO BE AFFILIATED WITH THE KC BRIGADE. THEY ALLOWED 92 POINTS TO GRAND RAPIDS AND ONLY SCORED 52. LASTLY, I WENT 4-4 IN MY PICKS. WEEK 5 PREVIEW COMING.

WEEK 4 PICKS CONTINUED

FIRST OFF LA WENT 1-1 ON THEIR ROAD TRIP AND NOT 0-2. HOWEVER THEY DID GET BLOWN OUT LAST NIGHT BY PHILADELPHIA 71-34. HERE ARE THE REST OF MY PICKS:

ARI OVER NY: WHAT TEAM IS WORSE?
CLB OVER UTAH: C-BUS PICKS UP FIRST WIN.
CLE OVER NO: GLADS KEEP ON ROLLING.
ORL OVER GEO: PRED ARE HEATING UP.
CHI OVER COL: CRUSH ARE NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HARRELL.
SJ OVER DAL: SJ IS TOUGH TO BEAT AT HOME.
KC OVER GRR: RAMPAGE NOT VERY GOOD ON THE ROAD.

WEEK 4 BEGINS TONIGHT

WHEN THE PHILADELPHIA SOUL TRAVEL TO LA TO TAKE ON THE AVENGERS. SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE. I THINK THAT LA WILL COME BACK STRONG AFTER GOING 0-2 ON THEIR ROAD TRIP. THEREFORE I AM TAKING THE AVENGERS TO HAND PHILADELPHIA THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON. MORE EXPERT PICKS TOMORROW.

GO GLADS GO

AFTER THREE WEEK THE GLADS ARE 3-0 AND TIED FOR FIRST WITH DALLAS AND PHILADELPHIA IN THE EASTERN DIVISION. AFTER BEATING COLUMBUS 59057 ON SATURDAY NIGHT, THE GLADS MOVE ON TO PLAY THE NEW ORLEANS VOODOO FRIDAY AT 8:30. MEANWHILE C-BUS WILL TRY TO WIN THEIR FIRST GAME AS THEY TRAVEL TO UTAH TO TAKE ON THE BLAZE. I ALSO WENT JUST 3-5 FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK IN MY PICKS.

WEEK 3 CONTINUED

HERE ARE THE REST OF MY PICKS:

LA OVER GEO: SONNY IS ON FIRE.

CLB OVER CLE: I HATE TO PICK THIS BUT I AM A FAN OF BOTH TEAMS. SHOULD CLEVELAND NOT HAVE ANY TROUBLE SCORING FROM INSIDE THE 5 THEY WILL BE FINE. THEY HAVE STRUGGLED THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. TEAMS HAVE GIVEN THEM EXTRA CHANCES, COLUMBUS WON'T.

ARI OVER SJ: RATTLERS PLAY HOME OPENER SPOILERS.

PHI OVER NY: DRAGONS COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

TAM OVER NO: TAMPA HAS THEIR QB.

COL OVER DAL: CRUSH FLUSH THE DESPO'S IN THIS ONE...CLINT IS STILL CRYING.

WEEK 3 IS A WILD ONE

SO FAR THE PREDATORS SENT THE BLAZE TO 0-3 AND THE RAMPAGE GOT FLUSHED BY THE RUSH. THE PREDS AND RUSH ARE THE 2 TEAMS I PICKED THIS WEEK IN MY PICKS THAT I HAVEN'T POSTED YET. LOOK FOR THEM TOMORROW MORNING.

GLADS 2-0

THE CLEVELAND GLADIATORS ARE 2-0 THANKS TO SOME FANTASTIC ALL-AROUND PLAY. THE GLADS HAD TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING FOR THEMSELVES(AS EVERY CLEVELAND TEAM DOES) ALMOST LETTING GO OF A 10 POINT LEAD. WITH 29.4 SECONDS LEFT YOU WOULD FIGURE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. REGARDLESS THEY ARE 2-0 AND MATCH LEAST YEARS WIN TOTAL. 66-63 IS A HECK OF A GAME IN ANY ONE'S MIND. GO GLADS SEE YOU IN C-BUS ON SATURDAY.

WEEK 2 PICKS

WEEK 2 OF THE AFL SEASON IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

TAM OVER GEO: GEO HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE THEIR STATEMENT LAST WEEK AND DIDN'T DO IT. WILL THEY DO IT THIS WEEK?

CLB OVER DAL: THOUGH THIS GAME BE BE CLOSER THAN EXPECTED WITH CLINT OUT, C-BUS STILL HAS THE MOMENTUM EVER SINCE LAST YEARS PLAYOFF WIN.

KC OVER NY: NY CAN'T USE GROCE RIGHT, WHAT MAKES ME THINK THEY CAN WIN.

NO OVER ORL: ORL IS IN SHAMBLES.

CHI OVER PHI: TWO PRIME TIME TEAMS ALWAYS ON BUT THEY WON'T DISAPPOINT.

CLE OVER UTAH: WEEK 1 WAS THE RUMBLE AT THE Q. WEEK 2 WILL BRING THE "WAR AT THE Q". IT'S GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH.

GRR OVER SJ: SAN JOSE MAY HAVE THE SAME PLAYERS BUT NOT THE SAME FOCUS.

ARI OVER LA: SONNIE CUMBIE MUST PLAY CLEAN FOR LA TO WIN BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

GLADS LOOK TO IMPROVE

TO 2-0 ON THE YEAR WHEN THEY FACE THE UTAH BLAZE THIS SUNDAY AT THE Q. GO GLADS GO. THEY ARE A 2 POINT FAVORITE. ALSO IF ANYONE NOTICED I WENT 4-4 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK. I HOPE TO DO BETTER THIS WEEK.

MORE EXPERT PICKS

HERE THEY ARE:
SAT:
GEO OVER DAL: I DON'T LIKE EITHER ONE OF THESE TEAMS BUT TODAY I'M A GEORGIA FAN.
ORL OVER PHI: I DON'T HAVE MUCH BROTHERLY LOVE FOR PHILLY.
TAM OVER KC: TAM SHOULD BE VERY STRONG THIS YEAR.
UTA OVER ARI: WHAT KIND OF WELCOME WILL SIAHA BURLEY RECEIVE?

SUN:
CLB OVER COL: I HATE JOHN ELWAY.

MON:
CHI OVER SJ: A FANTASTIC MONDAY NIGHT GAME TO WATCH.

AND CLE OVER NY: THE DRAGONS WILL BE SLAIN AT THE Q COME MONDAY NIGHT BY THE GLADIATORS.

AFL SEASON IN FULL SWING

THE ROAD TO ARENA BOWL XXII BEGINS TONIGHT FOR 2 OF THE 17 TEAMS. IN L.A. IT IS THE AVENGERS AGAINST THE VOODOO. THIS GAME IS CRUCIAL FOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE TEAMS SUCH AS CLEVELAND AND COLUMBUS, TO NAME A FEW. THIS COULD PLAY A BIG ROLE IN A WILD CARD TIEBREAKER. I WILL BE ROOTING FOR L.A. TO WIN THIS ONE. MORE OF MY EXPERT PICKS WILL COME TOMORROW.

IT'S COMING

LADY BUCKS BOUNCE BACK

FOLLOWING A LOSS TO KEYSTONE, THE BUCKEYE LADY BUCKS BOUNCED BACK TODAY IN FANTASTIC FASHION WINNING AGAINST CONFERENCE FOE BROOKSIDE 51-47. THE BUCKS PLAYED OUTSTANDING DEFENSE ALONG WITH SOME SIZZLING SHOOTING FROM THE GIRLS TODAY. GOOD JOB BUCKS.......SEE YA WEDNESDAY.
ALSO I AM TAKING A POOL ON: HAS ANYONE EVER FELT LOST AND ALONE? OR HAVE YOU EVER WAITED FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN THAT YOU KNOW WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN BUT YOU WERE WISHFUL THINKING? HAVE A NICE DAY AND GO BUCKS!!!!!!

2 TEAMS LEFT IN THE NFL

BUCKEYE LADY BUCKS

DO IT AGAIN. THEY DEFEATED THEIR RIVAL BLACK RIVER PIRATES TODAY 58-38. THE LADY BUCKS OVERCAME A SLOW START ONLY TO STORM BACK WITH SOME TENACIOUS DEFENSE IN THE FINAL 3 QUARTERS. BUCKEYE TRAILED 18-10 AFTER 1 QUARTER BUT WERE NEVER OUT OF THIS ONE THANKS TO JESSIE HALL, SYLVIA STYBOR, ERIKA URBANIC, KELSEY KNOLL, KRISTIN HARE AND THE REST OF THE BUCKS. GOOD JOB. THE NEXT GAME IS WEDNESDAY AT HOME AGAINST THE MUCH HATED KEYSTONE WILDCATS. JV TIP AT 6:00 AND VARSITY AT 7:30. SPEAKING OF THE JV THEY HAVE REALLY COME AROUND AS OF LATE. AFTER A FEW CLOSE LOSSES THEY TOO BEAT UP ON BLACK RIVER TODAY WINNING BY TEN.

KICKOFF IS COMING

WELL, AFTER THE BUCKEYES LET EVERYONE DOWN TO YET ANOTHER SEC TEAM, ITS TIME TO TURN THE FOCUS TO THE CLEVELAND GLADIATORS. I MEAN THE CAVS, ARE PLAYING BARELY ABOVE 500 AND ITS NOT PLAYOFF TIME YET. SO THAT LEAVES ME TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE GLADIATORS. TRAINING CAMP BEGINS ON FEB. 5TH. WITH KICKOFF JUST 48 DAYS AWAY THE GLADIATORS HAVE HIGH HOPES A MAKING THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2003.

OSU VS LSU
