What A Week

Where do I start,

First the Patriots who are the best team in the NFL Smoked the
Minnesota Vikings (thanks for the money Drizz). Nice Pass Defense the Vikings have
They are the #1 run defense but looked like the #32 pass defense, I really thought the game
would be closer but that is why they play the games.

Maybe After the Patriots Beat the colts this Sunday Night They will start to get the respect they deserve. You gotta remember they were rated no higher than the 12th best team to start the season. and the DOLPHINS (insert Joke) were picked to win the superbowl.

Yesterday the Gold Gloves were awarded, I only have a problem with 1 really and that
would be Derek Jeter Winning at shortstop. I mean do people actually pay attention
He is not even close to being the best DEFENSIVE shortstop in the AL.
Infact I would say he isnt even in the TOP 3. I am not trying to be a Homer Redsox
fan But after watching Alex Gonzalez play short all year I don't understand how
Jeter can win it for the 3rd year in a row it is a Joke.
the award is not about who is a better hitter or more valuable to thier team its supposed to be the best fielder Plain and simple.

the award is not about who is a better hitter or more valuable to thier team its supposed to be the best fielder Plain and simple, and you can see here that both Michael Young and Alex Gonazez are better defensively than jeter.
look at putouts and assists and young is way ahead of jeter and Feilding Position Young and Gonzalez are way ahead. Now look at DP and assists and you tell me how Jeter wins????

Crazy I know.

i am sure I will be here next week telling you David Ortiz got screwed
when Jeter wins the MVP also. But I will save that for another post.
