Josh's Thoughts on This Week in Sports

It is January of 2010.  The new Detroit Lions (Miami Dolphins) are led by quarterback Rex Grossman (Chad Pennington), who was discarded by the Bears in place of an older and better quarterback Kurt Warner (Brett Favre) who retired at the end of the previous season and then came out of retirement.  

Rex Grossman is named Comeback Player of the Year.  The Lions will then proceed to lose in the first round of the playoffs to the New Orleans Saints (The Ravens).

Remember this name that I am about to tell you.  Kenny Britt.  He is (was) a wide receiver for Rutgers University.  He is a Junior and announced that he will go to the NFL draft this year.  In only three seasons he broke almost every receiving record at Rutgers and had 1342 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season.

Britt is 6-5, has power, and has NFL speed.  He'll probably get drafted by the Dolphins or the Titans.  He's a Terrell Owens/Plaxico Burress type.  You'll see his greatness soon enough.

Next Week's NFL picks: Eagles over the Giants, Panthers over the Cardinals, Ravens over the Titans, and Chargers over the Steelers but only if Ladanian Tomlinson is healthy.

Did anyone realize that Philadelphia could be this year's Titletown? Last year Boston was Titletown.  The Celtics were NBA champs, the Patriots went 16-0 and then lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl, and the Red Sox won the World Series.

Well, this year the Philadelphia Phillies already won the World Series and the Eagles just beat the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the NFL playoffs.  Philadelphia even has the Philadelphia Soul, the Arena Football League Champs.

The 76ers were supposed to be a very good team this year that could even give the Celtics a run for their money.  Now I guess that won't happen but hey, anything is possible.

So that was an idea of what was going on in my brain this week in sports.  Look for my articles every week from now on (except for next week because I have high school midterms).  Thanks for reading!
