Merry Christmas From Walker's Rants

Merry Christmas everybody or happy holidays, whichever one works best for you, I just hope you’re enjoying some downtime and relaxing. Here at Walker-Sports, we are plugging away right through the holidays. There is no off-season when it comes to sports talk. That’s why Walker’s Rants are fired up and ready to go.

Thank you Dan Patrick for hyping up Matt Forte and talking me into picking him up to play on my fantasy teams. Forte powered me to third place in one league, and got me into the championship game in my other…

The Green Bay Packers have absolutely self-destructed coming down the stretch of the season. However, it is not Aaron Rodgers fault. The Packers' defense is horrible…

I guess the Duke Blue Devils once again showed Xavier that they are not an elite program in the country…

I love that the NFL season is coming down to the final week, you really can’t ask for much more…

Scott Johnson is willing to forfeit his salary as USA Rugby head coach. Not a big deal, because if he takes that job in Wales, you know he won’t stay on as coach of the USA…

The Boston Celtics are playing stupid crazy ball right now. I’m a hater, but even I have to step back and acknowledge what they’re doing…

I actually feel bad for the Detroit Lions…

Troy vs. Southern Miss; that was the dumbest bowl game matchup I have seen all year…

Brady Quinn gets punched by one of his teammates? Damn, he has had one rough year…

You thought a lot of NBA coaches have been fired this season, just wait till the NFL season wraps up. There could easily be five firings once the season finishes, that will mark eight on the year…

The Jets have absolutely nothing left in the tank. I don’t blame Brett Favre, but they are finished…

Peyton Manning is the MVP of the NFL this season. There is no question about it; he has done everything to get his team over the hump and into the post-season…

I’ll admit it now, I whiffed on Matt Ryan. I thought the kid would be good, but he is playing at a ridiculous rate right now, and right now he is No. 2 on my MVP ballot…

Who the hell let Evander Holyfield fight at 46 years old? The sad part is he nearly won the bout…

Hatton vs. Manny will be an amazing fight, can’t wait till May when that one goes down…

I’m so sick of hearing Sox and Yankees and the winter hot stove…
