I knew Nike had to have some contingency plan in case one of them didnt make it to the finals. They probably filmed for all possible scenarios
For the first time (as far as I can rememeber) two players grace the cover of Madden. Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald will both be on the cover of the new madden. I wonder what the means for the Madden Curse

THE MAG: For our readers who may only know about your rap career, can you speak on your experience growing up?
Cam'Ron: Well I grew up in New York City: Harlem, New York. I played ball for probably two of the biggest amateur basketball organizations in the city. One being the Gauchos, the other being the Riverside Hawks. I went to Manhattan Center High School. I never graduated, but I came out of high school Top 25 in the country in the class of 1994. I ended up going to a junior college called Navarro Junior College in Texas, which is in between Dallas and Waco. I tore my hamstring when I was there, and I redshirted my first year. And when I came back home, I ended up getting back into the music business. I didn't get a chance to get back into sports because music started taking off for me. That's kinda how my basketball career went.
What's the new album (Crime Pays) sounding like?
The new album is crazy. It's really street. It's like an old, S.D.E. Cam'ron album.

Ive always been a fan of Mike Tyson, it was always something intriguing about him to me (pause), with that said heres the trailer to his new documentary...
Super Bowl XLIII, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals, the big day is finally here; and being that I live in Tampa I’m definitely bringing ya’ll the inside scoop. It’s real simple, can Pittsburgh’s defense stop Arizona’s offense. I say, HELL NO! Pittsburgh is an easy pick, all the analysts give them the edge because of their defense and experience, but I show no love. Arizona is going to surprise a lot of people with their explosive offense and rejuvenated defense. And as far as true experience and clutch performance goes, I got to give it to my man Kurt Warner. He’s a true Vet that still gives it his all (unlike Favre), and he can read defenses like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. He’ll be ready for whatever Pittsburgh throws at him, he’s seen it all. Nasty Nav’s pick is Arizona Cardinals victorious and Kurt Warner is MVP once again. After party, Holiday the Streets!
Cliff notes:
1- Defense wins Championships
A great defense will always win out over a very good offense.
2- Underdog Fever
Everyone is jumping on the Cardinals bandwagon trying to look smart, but Arizona doesn't meet the criteria for an upset.
3- No Jake Delhomme
You can't expect another six interception game or rookie QB or Choker McNabb and the Eagles to help out the Cardinals on Sunday.
4- Dude, it is the Cardinals
Nice story, but come on homie it is the Arizona Cardinals.
5- Mike Tomlin aka Omar Epps
Seriously "House" is one of my favorite TV shows. I can't bet against Omar Epps.
Props to Black Sports Online

Lebron is fast becoming my favorite athlete of all time (Yes, Im putting him up there with MJ, Ali, and Agassi). This commercial is my shit just because I can easily see Lebron being a star football player. That dude is athletic as all hell
NFC and AFC championship games are finally here with the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals, and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. Don’t get so caught up in the potential Philly/ Pittsburgh matchup the NFL wants. Although this matchup is probably beneficial for the league, I think an Arizona/ Baltimore Super Bowl is more entertaining. In saying that, we’ll keep this short and sweet. There’s only one game I’m sure of today and that’s the Cardinals / Eagles matchup. No doubt in my mind the Cardinals will come out on top, not only are they playing at home but they have the players to get the job done. Veteran QB in Warner, fast and strong players like Boldin, Fitzgerald, and a running back tandem of James and Hightower, will give the Eagles defense some trouble. The Cardinals have the recipe for success, especially the way their defense has been playing the past couple of weeks proving that they can stop the run. This isn’t the same Cardinals team they played during the regular season.
In the AFC, both Pittsburgh and Baltimore are exceptional on the defensive end, so some might say it comes down to the offenses. I disagree; especially with the forecasted light-snow showers both offenses will start slow trying to dictate the run. This means both defenses will try to make it their game by putting on a show with hard hits and takeaways. Players like Ed Reed and Ray Lewis will thrive in today’s conditions and they will carry their rookie quarterback to the Super Bowl.
Cardinals and the Ravens in the Super Bowl baby!
