2/3 of the games are over...

...And I'm 2/2. What are these 3 massive sporting events making this the best weekend in sports. In order of appearance:
1.) BJ Penn vs. GSP
2.) Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal
3.) Superbowl Ari Cardinals vs. Pit Steelers

1.) I predicted GSP in this one simply because BJ Penn is an unbelievable talent but unbelievably overconfident. He is to MMA what I am to poker. Talented, cocky, and when he moves up he gets crushed. So when he decided to move up to fight George St. Pierre he was just not in his comfort zone anymore. In fighting, that spells certain doom and GSP didn't disappoint.

2.) We are privileged to be watching the best Tennis in the history of the game. I think this is true of most sports, by that I mean that the current players or teams are the best that ever played the sport. Few sports defy this overarching claim...with sports that have fallen out of favor being the exception such as boxing and....curling? The methods of training have improved with performance enhancing drugs (like whey protein not like GHB), the competition has improved with larger player pools, and the equipment has improved. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer may turn tennis into one of these rare sports. I've seen the greats battle through the magic of ESPN classic, and even Sampras, Agassi don't reach the level of Rafa Fed. The shots they hit on the dead run BACK TO BACK TO BACK are shots one might have seen once a year in every match up before this one.
I picked Rafa to win. Purely because the guy is an absolute FREAK mentally and physically. I'm of the opinion that we will never see a greater athletic mindset in any sport EVER EVER EVER. SERIOUSLY, THE GUY DOES NOT DROP MENTALLY FOR 1 NANOSECOND EVER EVER EVER. Physically the guy can get to more balls than anyone else in the game ever ever ever. I just feel bad for everyone playing during his era except for Federer. Federer is a different beast entirely. Mentally he's a genius on and off the court against everyone except for Rafa. He beats up on the rest of the tour and Rafa beats up on him, its a crazy dynamic. Rafa didn't disappoint despite playing a 5 setter against a kid who may make me eat my words, Fernando Verdasco. I've never seen a forehand crushed so consistently by anybody other than Federer and Verdasco's backhand was far superior to Federer's. Anyhow, Nadal was visibly gassed throughout the match, yet his unwavering mental stature reigned in thoughts of quitting and pain. Nadal won in 5 sets (go figure 5? really? 6-2 in the 5th? really?) and quite possibly is the best player ever. Unfortunately I believe that his drive will be his undoing and he will leave the sport of tennis far too soon. While he's here though, playing against the 2nd best player to ever play the game (imho) we must enjoy him, and the incredible points that are produced.

more to come when the rafa fed points get posted as they were believe it or not...crazier than this!

3.)Steelers vs Cardinals
Steelers should win this, will win this, Mike Tomlin is just too good at his job. The Cardinals probably won't cover the spread either, but I think it should be close until the 4th quarter.

Steelers to win
take the over on the points imo

Polamalu to seal the deal with a late interception,
Clark to knock someone out of the game (could be himself) the guy is a missile lol

Oh and if you've made it this far, Chelsea had one of the most epic rips of all time today on Colin.
Trevor: Why do you have all this homework and Colin doesn't.
Chelsea: Because I'm in all the honors classes and he's not.
Trevor: It's cool Colin already knows what he'll be doing when he's 50.
Chelsea: Yeah, stabbing trash on the highway.
