Indianapolis Colts Building Class

The Indianapolis Colts have gained a reputation that has made them one of the most classy organizations in all of sports. It was clear in last weekends draft that the Colts value character over talent. They passed on several decorated players due to past criminal records and college violations.

They have also been criticized for letting players go for drug related violations. When asked about the stictness in the organization quarterback Peyton Manning said, "we are professional athletes, we know that with big contracts come big responsibilities." I feel that the Colts strategy, although heavily criticized, has payed off. Passing on several talented players and building a team around character has got them to two Super Bowls in the past four seasons.

Paul Pierce Hits Game Winner

Paul Pierce hit another game winner giving the Celtics a commanding 3-0 lead in the series against the Heat. Paul Pierce has remained an underated player in my opinion throughout his career. He has been placed on the all-star team numerous time but NBA fans still believe his game is not comparible to some of the best such as Carmelo and Chris Bosh.

I am not placing Pierce With lebron or Kobe, but I do believe he should be in the category with the rest of the high caliber players in the NBA. Leading the Boston Celtics to a World Title and becoming the playoff MVP should be enough along with the all-star nominations to disitnguish himself from the rest of the pack.

Tim Tebow 25th pick in the draft

On Thursday Josh Mcdaniels and the Denver Broncos shocked the sports world by picking Tim Tebow in the first round with the number 25th pick in the NFL draft. This was a big surprise to a lot of people watching and even Tim Tebow himself was surprised. Most analysts had him going in the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th round in the draft. When they drafted him they said that he was going to strictly play quarterback.

I actually think that it is a good pick for the Broncos because he will come in a bring some fire to thier organization. The Broncos were really hurting at quarterback with Kyle Orton being their starter. If Tebow can come in and learn the offense and really study films and the playbook he will fit perfect into the broncos offense because they run the majority of their offensive plays out the shotgun, in which was the primary offense at Florida as well.

LeBron James triple double

Today LeBron James had a triple double against the Chicago Bulls as the Cavs took a 3-1 series lead. He concluded his night with 37 points 12 rebounds and 11 assistsThe fashion in which LeBron had the triple double was the most amazing part about it, he had 2 buzzer beaters in which one to close out the 3rd quarter right in Derrick Rose's face. He was playing with an even more aggresive swagger than ever before. There was a look on his face throughout the whole game as if he was saying that no one was going to stop him. This guy is unbeleivable to watch, we could be watching the greastest basketball player to ever play the game. I think this is his and the Cavs year to win the NBA title, which will put him amongst the NBA elite at only 25 years old.

Bengals draft

In looking at the Bengals draft this weekend I would give them a grade of a B+. Jermaine Gresham is a very good pick, he is very athletic and is big as well. We dont have a true tight end and he can come in right away and play, especially because Chase Coffman is not NFL ready at all.

My favorite pick is Jordan Shipley the wide reciever out of texas. This will give Carson Palmer another weapon on offense. I think that he can come in and possible fight for the third reciever spot, not to mention he is a great returner. He has great speed and will probably be a slot reciever, the only thing he lacks is size b ut his motor makes up for it. Another great pick for the Bengals is Brandon Ghee out of Wake Forest. He has great size and speed at 6'0, 195 pounds and ran a 4.35 40-yard dash. I feel that he can come right in and help out the Bengals secondary in a big way.

Ben Roethlisburger

All charges against Big Ben have been recently dropped due to lack of evidence. Even though the charges have been dropped the comissioner is likely to suspend him as he should. The guy seems to not be learning anything at all. He first gets into a motorcylce accident in which the team owners told him he was to not ride his motorcylcle in the first place. Next he is accused of sexually assaulting a female, in which the charges were dropped. Then he gets accused of sexually assaulting another female, again in which the charges were dropped.

The guy is obviously not learning he has to be held accountable for his actions and I think he deserves an 8 game suspension. If he does not get any type of punishment I dont think that he will ever learn, and will just keep getting into to trouble. The Steelers really need to evaluate their situation with Roethlisburger, and maybe might need to consider drafting a quarterback or picking another one up.

Anderson Silva

Last weekend Anderson Silva fought Demian Maia in UFC 112, for those who didnt see the so called "fight" it was a mockery to the UFC as a whole. President Dana White says he was "disgusted" and that it was the first UFC fight where he has actually left the venue because he was so mad. The fight went 5 rounds in which Silva just toyed with Maia, he could of knocked him out in the first round but he chose to make him look like an idiot for 5 rounds. Also, making the people at home who bought the fight, in which this was the main event, feel like idiots for buying it as well. This is going to hurt UFC a little bit there are a lot of people who were very mad about the fight, this is not what the UFC needs if they want people to keep buying into their so called "sport".
