Instead of writing a bunch of articles on topics that have been written about already, I've decided to encompass all of them into one. There will be no long breakdowns or analysis, just my personal thoughts and opinions.

I see no reason to go into a lengthy explanation, so let's just get started!

 

NFL

- The 2008 playoff teams that will have a drop in wins: Miami, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Baltimore, and Atlanta.

- T.O. will have his first blow-up as a Bill in Week Three.

- By season's end, we will realize the Wildcat offense experiment is a failure.

- Brett Favre may play well in a dome but a Super Bowl is not in his future.

- This year's list of coaches who get the axe are, but not limited to: Marvin Lewis, Jack Del Rio, Brad Childress, and Wade Phillips.

- I recently wrote an article picking the Steelers to repeat as champions. I am officially changing my pick to the Eagles.

- Tony Romo dropping Jessica Simpson does not equal a playoff victory.

- The UFL can succeed by doing two things:

1. Seeing itself as a developmental/minor league and not competition to the NFL.

2. Signing former stars that can still play (Plaxico Burress, Marvin Harrison, Michael Vick, Adam Jones).

 

NBA

- Everyone talks about the top three teams in the East. The race for spots four-eight will be pretty competitive.

- The L.A. Clippers just might make the playoffs.

- Why are Glen Davis, Raymond Felton, Allen Iverson, Linas Kleiza, David Lee, Andre Miller, Lamar Odom, and Hakim Warrick all unsigned?

- When the Cavs get knocked out at some point in the playoffs next year, will we see LeBron pull an Adam Morrison?

- This offseason has been very busy, but it is definitely too early to decide which moves were good and which ones were bad. At least wait until a month into the season to make these determinations.

- It will finally come to light this season that Greg Oden is actually 43 years old.

- If Allen Iverson does not get signed, you, the fans, will probably vote him into the All-Star Game.

 

MLB

- Unless a player recently failed a drug test, I don't want to hear about it.

- The next update on the Halladay situation should be where he got traded to or that he is staying in Toronto.

- Right now it is safe to say that the A.L. is a two-team race (Boston and N.Y.) and the N.L. is a three-team race (Philadelphia, St. Louis, and L.A.).

- Bud Selig really needs to retire.

- The fact that home-field advantage in the World Series is determined by the All-Star Game is ridiculous.

- With the exception of Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez will have the best second half of any player in either league.

- I think we should forget the salary cap talk until the Yankees win another World Series. I just love seeing them spend all that money for nothing.
