Johan a Met?

Pending physical and contract negotiations will send Santa to Big Apple.

After spending eight years on the Minnesota Twins, Johan Santana will most likely become a New York Met by the end of the week. Santana has a career record of 93-44 with a 3.22 era, and 1381 career strikeouts. He has been awarded Cy Young twice and named All Star three times.

The left-handed hurler is looking for a six-year, $150 million contract with the Mets; only problem is that the "Amazings" want to give a contract for five years. Included in this trade will be four of the Mets top prospects who will be sent to Minnesota once Santana completes the physical.

My Opinion: I think that the Yankees missed their chance with a great pitcher. Having, both, Pettite and Clemens, named the Mitchell Report, Steinbrenner should have made his move since his bullpen will be a little shaky this year. The Yankees, who have been lacking in pitching since their last World Series win in 2000, Santana could have been the answer to all their problems!

Making History in Super Bowl XLII?

Will the New England Patriots finish off their amazing season undefeated or will the New York Giants bring their dreams to an end?

The Patriots are only the second team to reach the Super Bowl undefeated ('72 Dophins) and have their chance of a perfect season to come true. Tom Brady has been on his game this year having a passer rating of 117.2, 50 passing touchdowns, and only throwing 8 interceptions. Randy Moss has also been "doing his thing" breaking the touchdown reception record. If the Patriots defense is solid, like it was all year, they will be the one's hoisting up the Lombardi trophy when the clock hits :00 secs.

The only thing that stands in their way are Eli Manning and the "G-Men." Starting the season 0-2,no one would have thought the "G-Men" would be attending Super Bowl XLII; let alone make the playoffs. The Giants have won 10 consecutive games on the road (a franchise record) and with only their biggest game of the year left, it won't only mean an eleventh consecutive win, but also a Super Bowl Championship!

My Opinion: Manning needs to bring his A-game in order for the Giants to be crowned champions. If the Patriots defense is at its best, there is a chance that they will be having a field day on Manning. For the Patriots offense to get rolling, their O-line needs to take the pressure off of Brady, since he is nursing a bad ankle, and keep Strahan and the D-line away from the pocket.
