Raider's won today! Off the leg of Sebastian Janikowski. This guy is my favorite NFL kicker of all-time, mainly because I grew up with him since I really started to watch football.
This Poland dude is just a savage. He has this super leg and on most kick offs he just kicks it right into the end zone. And he even attempted a 76 yard field goal. Now that's just ridiculous. I mean 76 yard? Wow.
***********************************************
Ray's won today as well! Yes I am somewhat of band Wagoner. But I started to like them, way early in the season not just when they started to clinch the season.
So now, I don't really know who to root for, the Rays or the Phils? I like both teams. The rays - because of being underdogs, having awesome pitching (Price, Shields, Kazmir), awesome speed (Upton, Crawford) and awesome power (Pena, Longoria.), awesome fielding (Iwamura, Bartlett), the veterans (Percival, Floyd, and maybe even Baldelli). These guys are just awesome. I have absolutely no idea how many times I just used awesome in the last paragraph, but that just emphasis how awesome the rays are.
But then again, one of my other favorite NL teams, the Phillies is as equally awesome. They basically have three MVP's in their infield, (Utley, Howard, and Rollins). That's awesome. You know what else is awesome, that they have players like Burrell who could hit 40 homers, Victorino, the spam loving Hawaiian guy, who could steel 40 bays. Then their pitching staff is just awesome too, Blanton, Hamels, Meyers, Moyer, Lidge, Madson). Just too awesome.
So I really have no idea who to root for here, but If I have to choose one, I'll go with the Rays just because their underdogs, and who doesn't want the underdogs to win the World Series (besides Phillies fans).

team updates
So updating my favorite teams:
The Warriors beated the Bucks in China with a game winner by ROB KURZ!!!
Listen here to KURZ's game winning 3 pointer:
-Warriors looked good in preseason, especially Anthony Randolph. What intrigues me about Randolph is that he could actually a small forward, but still have in length and intangibles as a power forward. So our current future lineup for the Warriors looks like: Ellis Magette Randolph Wright Biendris, with Azubuike and Bellini coming off the bench and/or occasionally starting for Randolph or Wright.
- The Oakland Raiders are 1-4. Not that bad. Could have been 3-2, if not for some bad mistakes. Cable is the new head coach, Kiffen is out. Russell looks good, not throwing a lot of interceptions, on behalf of him not throwing a lot but also because of good decision making.
-The Oakland A's are in their off season now. Did alright this year, could have been better in the second half of the season. I still didn't see the point to trading away Harden and Blanton. And I hope all the trades that Beane pulled off actually help us in the long run.
-Cal Football - not really keeping up with them as much, but I heard Longshore is starting again; Kevin Riley will be riding the bench. Javid Best is a monster. Super fast. Too bad Raiders have DMC, they could have drafted him as their starting when he enters the league. But who knows, it could happen
-UCLA Basketball -
A lot of changes, especially with Westbrook (On Thunder), Kevin Love (T-Wolves), Lorenzo Mata, and mbah a moute (on Bucks) gone to the NBA or graduated. There are still some good players on the team there and if they reach to final four again in 2009, they will have been in the Final Four for 4 straight years (with Josh Shipp and Darren Collison being on all four teams. Ben Howland and co. have produced some mighty fine good basketball players over the last couple of years, and if all had stayed until their senior year, they might be just loaded with talent:
Some of the players include:
Love
Westbrook
mbah a moute
Affalo (pistons)
Farmar
Hollins (also had Michael fey, another 7 footer)
Then to go along with this, they just recruited more 4-5 star basketball players:
Drew Gordon
Malcolm lee
Jrue holiday
J’mison Morgan
So unless these make like Kevin love and enter draft, the bruins are pretty much set for four more years of final four successes.
