First, I just want to say that I loved the ESPY's Award Show Wednesday night. Seth Meyers did a great job. I was at the show last year when Samuel L. Jackson hosted the show and I have to say Seth was by far better. He had some knee slapper jokes, especially the one about the Kardashians. Found that one to be extra funny. Also the music guest was much better this year. Do not even recall the guy that was there last year. But overall I think it was an excellent show and some outstanding athletes deserved the awards that they received.
Glad and thought it was deserving that the Saints won the Best Team Award and that Drew Brees walked away with three awards of his own; Best NFL player, Male Athlete and Best Championship Performance. I thought the Lakers had a chance of winning the best team but when I saw that it looked like only Derek Fisher was there to represent for the Lakers and half the Saints team was there, it was clear that the Saints were walking away with the award.
One thing that I did not like about the show was most of the big stars were not there. There was no Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant or Phil Jackson, to name a few. And I know OchoCinco was not nominated for anything but thought he would be there with T.O.. But guess that is how it goes with so many other things going on around this time of the year. Great show despite all that.
Now there is less than a month away until that good ole NFL football starts and about two months for college football. Nothing is more exciting to me then to wake up on a Saturday morning to Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard on College Game Day before all college games begin. (And now Erin Andrews has joined the crew! :-) ) The only thing more exciting is to wake up on Sunday morning to a day full of NFL games!! Followed by Monday Night Football! " Are you ready for some football?" I know I am!
I think this is going to be an exciting and interesting year in both Pro and College football. First of all college has had some big changes with all these teams shifting conferences and what not. It will be interesting to see how these new teams react with bigger challengers. I would have loved to see Boise State move to the Pac 10 or SEC. I feel they are a great team and deserve tougher opponents. And I would love to see them play for the National Championship. With the NFL the question is how are the Super Bowl Champs going to play this year. Will they flop or come back just as strong? I am going for strong and ready to play. I also hope Dallas does not get a chance to play for rings in their home stadium. Yes I am a "Cowgirls" hater. I then wonder how will Pete Carroll do in the NFL with the Seahawks? I feel that he will do fine but I will miss seeing him on the sideline in the Coliseum.
Of course being from Los Angeles, the issue that my USC Trojans do not even have a chance of winning a championship for at least two years is very disturbing. Thanks to those guys from the 2005 season! Yes, meaning Reggie Bush as one of the big reasons we will be sitting out of the bowl games. I am really upset about that. But the season must go on!!!
Furthermore I am thrilled for the upcoming season of football and cannot wait for the hitting, tackles, fumbles, touchdowns, interceptions, replays, kick returns, bands and trash talking to begin. Are YOU ready for some FOOTBALL?

King James Day
Hello there,
Well tomorrow is the day Lebron James will let us know what city he will call home for the 2010-2011 NBA season. It baffles me how this 25-year-old basketball player is holding the league and the sports world in his hands. Everyone is waiting on him to say the word! And they have given him a ONE hour special on ESPN for a FIVE second answer to the question on every NBA fan's mind. Do not get me wrong, I will be tuned in at 8pm my time to see where KING JAMES will play ball next year.
I must admit that this free agent craze has me excited for the NBA season next year. I cannot wait to see how these players do with their new teams or new collaborations of big players. I will be watching more Miami Heat games to see how the newly formed D. Wade and Chris Bosh duo turns out. Experts say that with this collaboration, the Heat could be the best team in the Eastern Conference! Interesting! Could Bosh be what Wade needs to get back to that championship and win a ring like he did when Shaq joined his team? Then there is talk that Lebron could still make his way to Miami. He is said to be in Miami meeting with Pat Riley! hmmmm..... But I honestly do not think that he will go for the lesser salary cap. But then again anything can happen and these three guys may have something up their sleeves to try and become a power house. They could be trying to form another Celtic team with more than one all-star on the team. Now I am not a Celtic fan! I was born to dislike the team due to the fact that I am a Laker fan through and through. I do though recognize a good team and players when I see one. And the Celtics have some great players working together. {and yes the best team came out on top ;-) in the finals this year}
My prediction is Lebron stays in Cleveland like I said before. He will get to play for the former NBA player, Byron Scott who knows a little something about winning championships. Lebron always wanted to play for a former player. But his heart is in Cleveland and that is where he belongs. One thing though, where ever he plays, a ring will not come his way until the 2011-2012 season because my Lakers will three-peat and give Phil Jackson a great exit from basketball with his 13th Championship!! :-)
The suspense will all be over tomorrow!!!

Hello, Good Evening
Hello there readers!!
My name is Erin and I am new to this blogging thing! I have decided to blog because I wanted to talk about one of my favorite topics in the world!! SPORTS!! There is so many things to discuss in the world of sport especially now with free agency in basketball and the biggest class of free agents out there, football season about to start and the fact that many schools in college football are moving in and out of conferences and so many more.
But first a little about me! Yes I am a girl and love everything there is about sports. No I was not an athlete in high school... just have a love for it. I am a graduate student in Mass Communications and working my way towards working in the sports field. My favorite sport out there is Football- pro and college, then basketball... the rest fall after that. I love to discuss anything that involves sports with anyone willing to chat on the topic. So I hope that you will enjoy reading what I have to say!
I have never been more excited to follow a class of players on deciding where they want to continue their career as I am now with Lebron James being the main one that I want to know where he is going. I have a love for the player that he is and the person that he is. It amazes me how together he is being so young. He is one athlete that seems to be doing the right thing in the league and he is only what 25 years old! I want to see him win a ring and I am not even a Cleveland fan, but this man deserves one. I do feel that he does need a better squad though helping him out. Have always felt that he did not have the help that he need. He was able to get the guys that he did have to work together and allow Cleveland to have the best record in the NBA for 2 seasons but when it comes to the playoffs they just cant make it. So yes I agree with everyone on the fact that he needs another big time player to help him out and Shaq sorry to say was not that one... maybe a few years ago but Shaq's time is about up in this game I believe. I would like to see him stay in Cleveland and bring them a ring though especially since Byron Scott has just become coach... would also like to see him get a ring as a coach... very sad when he was let go by the Hornets... but I would also like to see Lebron play in Chicago with Noah.. I think Noah is a great player with a lot of heart for the game which shows on the floor... but wonder how that chemistry will work after Noah came at James... but if James doesnt stay in Cleveland to play for Scott I see him going to the Knicks... It is a nail biter to see where he will choose in the end... I also find it funny how everyone is opting out of their final year of contract to be apart of this free agent class...the suspense continues to grow the closer and closer time ticks down.
That's all I have to say today but please join me again soon!!
