Champions league and Europa league

Champions league

can we stop and think about how good pippo inzaghi.......ok thats long enough, this guy is 36 years old and he is still lighting in up in continental play. Now with 69 goals in UEFA club competitions, just amazing for a player born in the offside position.

Nothing much else to write home about, Inter-Barca turned out to be a snore-fest but we can say we did see that coming.

A couple of my predictions look like they could already be on the rocks, my be apologizing to AC Milan, Wolfsberg, and the rest of group H.
But its still early so im gonna stand by my picks-

AC Milan is still a mess from top to bottom, inzaghi is great but you dont want to have to depend on a 36 year old striker to bail you out all the time.

Wolfsberg- just as early as the 06-07 season, they missed relegation by 3 points and dont have the same manager that led them to the Bundesliga last year, so like many German clubs, they will struggle in the CL this season.

Standard- They may have lost yesterday but nearly pulled off a miracle vs Arsenal yesterday, if the manager uses this game right, he can give confidence when they play Olympiakos or AZ, If they can almost beat Arsenal, what can they do to either of those 2 clubs?

Europa League
I'll be honest, I don't know too much about this league, and the only reason I'm following it is because AS Roma is in it this year.
But for the group stage, it pretty much goes like this, if you heard of the club, then they'll probably make it through. Or whatever country has a higher population, the better chance they have of going through.
Group B- Man I feel bad for Genoa, in a group with Valencia, Lille and Slavia Prague. Defiantly the group of death.
Other then this the only other interest thing has to be Lazio-Villarreal.

Roma plays today vs Basel, the only stories is Ranieri second game in charge and the last chance for Juilo Baptista to try and stay in Roma.
Players to watch:
Juilo Baptista-Roma
Streller-Basel

Comment on this post on what you think, and what you would like me to write about

Oh What a weekend!!!!

Dally!The Rise of Michigan! The Nfl ! The continued terribleness of the lions! KANYE!!!!

So if you were not in midtown this Saturday, then you missed the best day of the year in Detroit, at least the best day of the year that isn't related to sports, The Dally in the Alley
Loud music, drinking, bunch of crap you dont need to buy, just an all around good time.

But getting back to reality

Michigan v Notre Dame
What a game, really epic, if it werent for the KC-Broncos, it would have been the game of the weekend in my opinion.
I think the Michigan has 6 more wins in them, so Michigan Fanatics put away the holy water Tate is good, but not that good......yet.

NFL
ok with all but 2 teams playing, i'm gonna give you my predcitons for the season( many seem like im being reactionary to what happened in week 1, but just ask Matt(guest writer) he can back up that I was talking about this before the season)
-Joe Flacco will be greatly improved

-The Stars of the 2006 Rose Bowl Game will get to start again
=Kerri Collins and Kurt Warner are both old and havent(to my knowledge) played back to back 16 game seasons in their careers

-The Lions will win one game
=its just gotta happen

Now just some observations I had, The Packers D and Giants D just look out of this World, these teams are ones to keep and eye on for the superbowl, and you have to place the Packers ahead of the Giants as a team just because of the gulf in class of the WRs

Lions
Well, really, nothing has changed since last year. We still have a team that can score a little bit against average D's but still can't stop anyone ever. But this has to be expected when we competle ignore are worse position of at least the last 3 years, The CB.
Like I said earlier, we'll win at least one game, we will beat the Browns

KANYE
oh, Kanye, how I love you.
Yes he was completely out of line and rude but 4 points
1.Without that no one would be talking about the VMA's

2. He was right

3. Swift totally bitched out, come on stand up for yourself woman

4. Didnt we fight a war that said we dont have to listen to country music anymore?

Peace

The Greatest Gift Ever Given

OK, I'll Admit it. I am freaking out at the start of Football
yea the games are entertaining and I get to rout for the home team(sort of)

But I can honestly say that if it was not for fantasy football, i could probably care-less.
Fantasy football gives people that need to compete at every aspect of life and love having meaning less self-given titles such as" the ultimate Risk or monopoly champ" or #1 at Goldeneye.
And I am proud to be one of those people, and one day when I find people to bet with on it, my life will end.

NFL are just complete geniuses to create Fantasy Football. It gives fanatics ever more of an excuses to follow the NFL and it gets causal fans such as myself, to stay home all Sunday and watch their product.

And whoever thinks the its really lame, hey im sure you do alot of meanless stuff to and if you say you dont then "you lie'!!
