1- Colts;
They’re undefeated, but for a couple of games now don’t look as good as 8-0 should. Only one TD pass in the last two games for Peyton Manning shows how strange it is right now. Yet, they keep winning and still have 8 more weeks to make things right for playoffs.
2- Saints;
For some reason media’s predicted them to loose this week to a 3-4 team. They won and New England Patriots seem the only obstacle to a perfect season. If they managed to get undefeated till there, we’ll probably have the best game of the season as Brady and Co try to remain the only ones to go 16-0 in a season.
3- Vikings;
Bye week must have been all about getting Adrian Peterson more involved.
4- Steelers;
The defending champions jus won for fifth time in the last five games. Watch out contenders and don’t throw deep on them. It’s a mistake Kyle Orton won’t make again.
5- Patriots;
I don’t know, Tom Brady is not the same, but they make everyone in the league scared about facing them in January. 8 more weeks to get things going like is 2007 again.
6- Broncos;
But this cinderela got to midnight. Playoffs stil possible tough.
7- Bengals;
That was a ugly win, but as long as they keep winning people should take them seriously.
8- Falcons;
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2011 NFC champion. As for now, they should be respected but I’m not counting them to go very far.
9- Cowboys;
Another win against a good team, but still a step behind the eight ahead. Tony Romo is showing some constancy. Let’s see if he can play like this in the postseason.
10- Eagles;
They need Brian Westbrook healthy if they wanna get somewhere. Against Dallas other than Westbrook, McNabb was missing a little luck too.
11- Charges;
I’m not convinced. The only thing I’m believe is that Laidanian Tomlinson is dead and for some reason another person is playing with his jersey and helmet.
12- Cardinals;
Larry Fitzgerald is ridiculous. Number one receiver in the planet. By far. Kurt Warner would be retired if it wasn’t for this guy.
13- Ravens;
The best word to describe this team?? Crazy!! You never know which Ravens will show up. We only know they have zero chances of making to the Super Bowl.
14- Texans;
They proved nobody can sleep on them, but they’ll need a strong second half to get to the playoffs.
15- Giants;
They’re just a mess right now. After four straight losses post-season will be in front of a TV for them.
16- Dolphins;
Though loss to New England, but this is a good team that can beat every team in the league. They’ll probably be the best team that won’t make the playoffs.
17- Jets;
They’re coming out of bye week and need to win at least 6 games. That’s very hard but future looks nice after a good rookie season by Mark Sanchez.
18- Packers;
The biggest pretenders of this season. They won’t make to postseason and should begin thinking of how they’re going to give Aaron Rodgers more protection next year.
19- Bears;
Season is over sooner than they though.
20- 49ers;
Four loses in a row means playoffs is getting far away. It’s a young team and the future is bright for them, so don’t worry by now 49ers fans.
21- Panthers;
The good news is that they had a legit chance to win against maybe the best team in the league. The bad news is that they lost anyway. A 6-10 will probably be the best they can get now.
22- Jaguars;
This doesn’t seem the team that made the playoffs a couple of years ago. This year they have no chance.
23- Seahawks;
A victory over Detroit means nothing, they still stink. Talking about that, what happened to Edgerin James? Does anyone regret more leaving a team like him leaving Indianapolis?
24- Bills;
They had a bye week and nobody noticed.
25- Titans;
Vince Young numbers aren’t good, but Titans’ with him are. I don’t care if Chris Johnson is running more than Usain Bolt, cause with Collins they lost 6 games. Maybe all Vince Young do is winning football games.
26- Redskins;
Considering how good they were (none), loosing Clinton Portis probably won’t make a difference. Another win maybe won’t come until next season.
27- Raiders;
I just hope they’re watching a lot of college football, cause they’ll need a great draft to turn things around.
28- Buccaneers;
Congratulations for the first win. Enjoy and don’t expect another one this season.
29- Browns;
Same as Oakland. Hopeless for 2009.
30- Rams;
Being the favorite team of all the others team in the league isn’t good. Everybody can’t wait to meet with them, cause that’s a guaranteed win. Poor Steven Jackson, he’s the best player of the six bottom teams.
31- Chiefs;
You know they already gave up on this season and started rebuilding after releasing Larry Johnson. I wonder if Matt Cassel miss being on the bench of a winning team.
32- Lions.
It’s not that they’re bad. It’s that they need to improve a lot before we get to call them a bad team.

NBA new season started and proved me wrong on some of my predicitions. Here are some thoughts on what we’ve seen.
Who’s HOT:
. Boston Celtics defense is limiting opponents to 84.37 points per game with a difference margin of + 14.12 points per game. They’re the best team in the league right now, but it’s a long season and they’re very old as we all know. Although,the young stud on the team (Rajon Rondo) looks better each day and don’t be surprised if he becomes the go to guy on this team during the season.
. The defending champions are dominating once again even without Pau Gasol. One week and Artest is only contributing. It’s taking longer then I thought for him to break this team from the inside.
. Miami got D. Wade and a good coach and are 5-1. Mike Brown should get a few tips from Spoelstra.
Who’s NOT:
. If the season continue this way for Cleveland, then Lebron is so gone. This week he had a great game against the Knicks but we saw in the post game interview a unhappy guy. Enjoy it while you can Cavs’ fans. During that game Chris Rock suggested Cleveland should trade him and get anything possible. That’s either the most stupid or brilliant thing I ever heard.
. Allen Iverson career is over. He still may be one the best players in the game, but if you look around it’s really hard finding a place for him. He’s current salary is only 3.1 millions, but he’s old for teams rebuilding and he’s too much trouble for teams looking for a playoffs spot. He can’t even be traded until december 15 what makes him even more untradeable. Imagine a 34 years old shooting guard playing less than 100 minutes over a 10 months span. He would be finding he’s rhythm during the most important games of regular season. It’s too sad. I hate Pistons and Grizzlies. I’ll put a curse on both of your houses.
. I told this Utah Jazz team woulnd’t fool me. Loosing at home to the Kings is awfull, I don’t even care if they won against San Antonio.
. New York and New Jersey can’t wait for summer one week into new season. Someone just remember them Lebron and Wade want rings.

Que noite. Eram 3:30 da manhã quando eu finalmente fui dormir. Nove anos depois o NEW YORK YANKEES conseguiu seu título. Número 27 !!!! Para mim esse foi um pouco especial. Pela primeira vez eu assisti à praticamente todos os jogos, desde a pré-temporada até a WORLD SERIES. E que grupo de jogadores. As pessoas dizem que química é valorizada além da conta, mas esse caras mostraram que faz parte de um time vencedor, essa tal de química. Jogo após jogo, vitória após vitória eles pareciam gostar um dos outros, mas importante, pareciam gostar de jogar lado a lado.
A temporada começou um pouco devagar, mas quando todas as peças finalmente se juntaram ninguém pode parar esse time. Um walk-off atrás do outro, vitória e mais vitória, eles mostraram que grande clube os Yankees são. Depois de 103 vitórias na temporada regular, os playoffs começaram e eles mostraram que eles estavam aqui para isso, o TÍTULO.
Jogadores fizeram sua parte. Como A-ROD e sua extraordinária performance nos playoffs. CC Sabathia arremessando como o verdadeiro ACE do time, Jeter jogando como Jeter joga (para aqueles que pensavam que ele estava acabado, aí está sua resposta!), Teixeira e sua defesa acima da média, Pettitte não demonstrando nenhum sinal de sua idade, Matsui e sua incrível World Series e MARIANO RIVERA. Eu farei um parte especial ao Mariano. Tivemos 8 closers na pós-temporada e todos eles tiveram pelo menos um blow save ou uma derrota. Todos com exceção de um: surpresa, surpresa MARIANO RIVERA. Jogando 1 entrada, 2 entradas, não importava. Ele fechou cada jogo em que entrou. As vezes não era um save, mas era para terminar o jogo sem nenhuma chance de retorno. E uma menção especial para o técnico. JOE GIRARDI. Quão incrível ele foi tendo todas as suas decisões postas em dúvida e mesmo assim mantendo-as acreditando que aquele era o caminho certo para ele e para o time.
A WORLD SERIES de 2009 pertence ao NEW YORK YANKEES e o mundo está de volta a normalidade.
What a night. It was 3:30 in the morning when I finally went to bed. After nine years the NEW YORK YANKEES got his title. Number 27 !!!!! For me this one was a little special. For the first time a watched almost every game from spring training to the world series. What a group of players. People say that chemistry is overrated but this guys showed that is a valuable part of a winning team. Game after game they seen to enjoy each other and most important seens to enjoy play together.
The season started a little bit slow but when all pieces came together no one could stop that team. Walk-off after walk-off, wins after wins this they showed what a great ballclub the Yankees are. After 103 wins in regular season the playoff started and the team showed they were here for the TITLE !
Players steped up. Like A-ROD and his amazing pos-season. CC Sabathia pitching like the true ACE of the staff, Jeter doing what Jeter does ( for those who thought he was done, here's your answer !), Teixeira and his superb defense, Pettitte showing no sign of his age, Matsui and his incredible World Series and MARIANO RIVERA. I’ll do a special part for Mariano. We had 8 closers in this pos-season and every one og them or blew a save or lost a game except for surprise, surprise MARIANO RIVERA. Pitching 1 inning, 2 innings...didn't matter to him. He close every game he enter. Sometimes not in a save situation but just to finish the game without doubt. And a special mention not to a player but to the manager. JOE GIRARDI. How incredible he was having all his action doubt in some level and still believing that he and the team were in the right way.
The 2009 WORLD SERIES belong to the NEW YORK YANKEES and the world is right back on track.
Como prometido, aí vai a segunda parte das previsões da temporada 2009/2010 da NBA. Dessa vez falaremos dos times do oeste. Então lá vai:
DALLAS MAVERICKS
Eu espero um time melhor nesse ano com a chegada de Shawn Marion, podendo até fazer algum barulho durante a temporada regular, mas não tem chance nenhuma de chegar as finais. A maior história nessa temporada será como Mark Cuban irá reagir à idéia de não ser o dono mais excêntrico da liga devido ao bilionário russo do Nets. Imagine o quanto seria divertido se eles, toda semana, começassem a fazer uma loucura atrás da outra tentando superar o outro. Isso provavelmente não acontecerá, mas certamente seria divertido.
DENVER NUGGETS
Eles começam esta temporada mais uma vez como um time que deve chegar longe. Possuem todas as armas ofensivas, mas a defesa precisa melhorar ou não serão nada mais que um time de playoffs. Se eles tem alguma intenção de conseguirem o anel, além da defesa como mencionado, Carmelo terá que provar que pode ser um jogador dominante nos playoffs e aparecer nos últimos minutos de jogos importantes. Para nós brasileiros a maior história será finalmente um compatriota com chances de chegar ao All-Star Game. Yao tá machucado, Shaq foi embora, Howard tá no leste... eu só to falando que é possível. Chegar lá ou não dependerá das performances dele e do Denver durante a temporada.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Até o Don Nelson sabe que seu time não chegará a pós-temporada. Somente certifique-se de assistir alguns jogos pra checar o desenvolvimento de Anthony Randolph e Stephen Jackson buscando o título de faltas técnicas do Rasheed Wallace.
HOUSTON ROCKETS
Eles não terão as duas maiores estrelas do time, mas isso não é novidade nem pra eles e nem pra ninguém. Porém, não os conte fora ainda. Esse time é bem treinado e faz todas as pequenas coisas necessárias, especialmente na defesa. Eu também tenho quase certeza que alas e armadores não ficarão muito felizes de enfrentar Battier e Ariza jogando juntos. Como a maioria dos cestinhas da liga jogam nestas posições, então vocês entendem porque eles lutarão por uma vaga nos playoffs.
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
Eles não conseguiam ganhar um jogo contra um time da WNBA na temporada passada e o prêmio de consolação foi Griffin na primeira escolha do draft. Já nessa temporada, se eu não estou louco, eles tem uma chance legítima de chegarem à pós-temporada. Por que? Baron Davis está de volta em forma, duas das melhores jovens estrelas da liga em Gordon e Thortnon, Camby e Kaman para controlarem o aro e a previamente mencionada primeira escolha do draft. Os Clippers talvez voltem a festa em abril.Eles são a primeira surpresa da temporada e já chegaremos na segunda.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Em time que tá ganhando não se mexe. Então por que trocar um ala com um bom ataque e uma forte defesa (Ariza), por um ala com um bom ataque e forte defesa (Artest)? Por que mexer em uma fórmula vencedora? O Ariza não tava dando exatamente o que eles precisam com a defesa firme e cestas de 3 decisivas? Diga um time que chegou as finais de conferência com o Artest no elenco. Eu não sei, mas acho que Phil Jackson irá se arrepender antes mesmo de fevereiro.
PS: Imagine como seria f#*$ um especial da ESPN mostrando a interação entre o maior maluco e o maior ego da liga. O quanto você pagaria para ouvir o que o Kobe diria ao Artest após ele tentar um arremesso de 3 decisivo contra os Cavs ou Celtics em rede nacional? Como Ron-Ron reagiria? Por favor ESPN, torne isto realidade!! Por favor!!
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Ah, os Grizzlies!! Esse é doloroso pra mim. Eu gostava deles. Mayo e Gasol tiveram boas temporadas de estréia, Gay é um jogador pouco apreciado que cresceria muito em um time melhor, mas não é o time para Allen Iverson. Como para todos os fãs do AI, a última temporada foi dura pra mim. Iverson estava no meio de uma situação bem ruim pra ele, e mesmo assim achou uma pior ainda para esta temporada. Ele é um competidor e este time não vai a lugar nenhum, ele precisa da bola em suas mãos, assim como a maior das jovens estrelas do time, ele não aguenta mais jogar 40 minutos todas as noites, e este time lhe pede exatamente isto. Tá tudo muito errado e só espero algumas performances individuais brilhantes como no passado. Depois de que tudo isso tiver passado , esta provavelmente terá sido o fim de sua carreira, e não deveria terminar assim pra um jogador tão especial.
MINNESOTTA TIMBERWOLVES
Nós queremos Rubio!!!!
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
Essa é a temporada que Chris Paul salva a carreira de Okafor. Ele pode até chegar ao All-Star nas costas do Paul. Já o time, é bom, mas parece um passo atrás da elite da NBA. Devem jogar pela segunda fase dos playoffs e só.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDERS
Essa será a temporada que o mundo será apresentado a Kevin Durant. Eu estou falando de realmente saber o quanto esse cara é bom. Ele foi incrível até agora, só que ninguém percebeu devido ao time que ele joga. Esta temporada porém, ele deverá ser All-Star, ser cogitado para o primeiro time da NBA e as pessoas finalmente irão descobrir que tem um time jogando em Oklahoma City. Por que? Ele tem crescido diante de nossos olhos (cheque os números), já fez uma grande temporada passada (cheque de novo), não é a única jovem estrela em ascensão no time e lembrem, o verão de 2010 fez metade da liga se tornar medíocre e nem estar se importando. E á por isso que coloco os Thunders como a surpresa da temporada e prevejo pelo menos38 vitórias para eles.
PHOENIX SUNS
Esse time não chegará longe e Stoudemire já ta bem longe. Se o Nash sair após esse ano também, então eles começarão a reconstrução. Lembrete ao manager do Suns: Procure por um pouco de defesa.
PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
Um bom time jovem, mas a maior aquisição deles no verão (Andre Miller) foi muito errada pra esse time. Eles precisavam de um bom cestinha na ala. A saúde dos joelhos de Greg Oden também terão papel fundamental na temporada. Apesar disso, possuem problemas maiores, pois segundo rumores time e treinador não estavam muito em sintonia no final da última temporada. Se as coisas não derem certo de início, então esperem que o treinador McMillan saia ainda durante a temporada.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Esse time é muito talentoso e experiente, bem treinado e acabou de ficar mais forte e jovem com a chegada de Richard Jefferson. Até deram sorte com o novato DeJuan Blair caindo no colo deles no draft. o que tá faltando então? Neste momento, parece mais fácil eu pegar a Hayden Panittieri que Duncan, Manu e Parker jogarem um mês inteiro juntos sem que um deles se machuque. Mas se eles conseguirem, então tomem cuidado resto da liga.
SACRAMENTO KINGS
Este é um dos times mais intrigantes da liga. Por que? Porque os irmãos Maloofs devem ter algum plano de 10 anos mirabolante pra dominar a liga. Essa é a única explicação que eu achei pra um time ser tão ruim por tanto tempo e não fazer nada pra mudar a situação. Talvez eles saibam de algum fenômeno de 9 anos melhor ainda que o Lebron e estão economizando e construindo um time pra ele. Eu não sei, mas é a única explicação que eu achei.
UTAH JAZZ
Todo ano eu escolho o Jazz pra chegar as finais, mas este ano não serei enganado. Adoro o jogo do Deron Williams e se ele não for selecionado pro All-Star esse ano então o governo americano deve iniciar uma investigação. O cara claramente está entre os 3 melhores armadores principais da liga e nunca foi chamado. É tão loucura quanto injusto. Porém, uma coisa que aprendi nestes anos é que Carlos Boozer não levará time nenhum longe. Pelo menos não enquanto seu nome for mencionado mais por renovação de contrato, free-agency e coisas deste tipo do que pelo seu jogo. Ás vezes importa mais quem quer vencer mais do que quem é mais talentoso.
TIMES NOS PLAYOFFS EM ALGUMA ORDEM:
MAVERICKS, NUGGETS, CLIPPERS, LAKERS, HORNETS, BLAZERS, SPURS E JAZZ.
FINAIS DE CONFERÊNCIA
LAKERS X SPURS (Dependerá muito da saúde, então deve dar Lakers em 6 jogos)
As promissed here is the second part of the NBA 2009-2010 season preview. This time we'll talk about western teams. So here is:
DALLAS MAVERICKS
I expect them to be a better team this year with the addition of Shawn Marion and they may even make some noise during the regular season, but have no chances of making the finals. The biggest story this season, will be how Mark Cuban will react to the idea of not been the most eccentric owner in the league because of Nets’ Russian billionaire. How fun if every week they start doing one crazy thing after another to outduel each other. That probably won’t happen, but sure would be fun.
DENVER NUGGETS
They start this season one more time as a team to make it far. They have all the offensives weapons, but defense needs to improve or they’ll be nothing more than a playoffs team. If they have any intention of getting the ring, other than defense, Carmelo needs to prove he can be a dominant player through the playoffs and come up big in the finals minutes of the big games. For us Brazilians the story will be a country man finally with a chance of making the All-Star Game. Yao is hurt, Shaq is gone, Howard is east... I’m just saying it’s possible. Making or not it’s up to his performance and Denver’s trough the season.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Even Don Nelson knows his team won’t make it to postseason. Just make sure you catch some Warriors games to check out the development of Anthony Randolph, and Stephen Jackson seeking to takeover the Technical Fouls Title away from Rasheed Wallace.
HOUSTOUN ROCKETS
They won’t have the two biggest stars on the team, but that isn’t news for them or anyone. Don’t rule them out yet. This team is well coached and do all the little things, especially on defense. I’m also pretty sure Shooting Guards and Small Forwards won’t be too happy to face Battier e Ariza together. Since most of the offense studs in the league play these two positions you get why they’ll fight for a playoffs spot.
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
They couldn’t win a game against a WNBA team last season and the consolation prize was Griffin with the number one pic in the draft. As for this season though, if I’m not crazy, they have a legit chance to make the postseason. Why? Baron Davis is back in great shape, two of the best youngs stars in the league in Thortnon and Gordon, Camby and Kaman controlling the ring and the previous mentioned number one player in the draft. Clipperland may be back to the party in April. They are the first surprise of this season, the next one is coming soon.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS
We have a saying in Brazil that says you shouldn’t make changes in winning teams. They traded a SF that could play some offense and is a tough defender (Ariza) for a SF that can play some offense and is a tough defender (Artest). Why messing with a winning formula by adding the craziest player to ever play in the NBA? Didn’t Ariza gave them exactly what they needed, solid D and clutch 3 point shooting? Name one team that made conference finals with Artest on the roster. I don’t know, but I think coach Jackson will be regretted by February.
PS: How f*#*$/# amazing would be a 30 for 30 special showing the interaction between NBA’s biggest Ego and NBA’s biggest maniac?? How much you’d pay to hear what Kobe’s gonna say to Artest after he tries to make the winning 3 point shot against Celtics or Cavs on national TV. Can you imagined how Artest will react?? Please ESPN, please?? Make this happen!!!
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Oh, the Grizzlies?? This is a sad on for me. I used to like them. Mayo and Marc Gasol had good rookie seasons, Rudy Gay is a underrated player that would grow a lot in a big team, but they are not the team for Allen Iverson. Like every other Iverson fan, I had a tough time last season. AI was in the middle of a really bad situation for him and yet he managed to find a worse place. Iverson it’s a competitor and this team ain’t going nowhere, he needs the ball in his hands as the biggest young star in the team in Mayo, he can’t play over 40 minutes anymore and this team asks him just that. It’s all wrong and I just wait him to give us the great individual performances from the past. After all is said and done this will probably be the end of his career and this wasn’t the way things should go for a player this special.
MINNESOTTA TIMBERWOLVES
We want Rubio!!!!
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
This is the season Chris Paul saves Okafor career. He can even make All-Star on Paul’s back. The team is good, but seems a step behind NBA elite. They should play for a second round in the playoffs and that´s it.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDERS
This is the season the world will be introduced to Kevin Durant. I’m talking about getting to know how good this guy is. He’s been incredible so far, only few people noticed because of his team. This season though, he’s getting All-Star love, All-NBA first team considerations and people will finally discover that´s a team playing for OKC. Why?? He’s been growing before our eyes (check his numbers), he already was one of the best in the league last season (check again), he’s not the only young star growing on that roster, and remember, summer of 2010 made half of the league mediocre and they don’t even care about that. And that’s why I’m putting the Thunders as the biggest surprise this year and predicting at least 38 wins for them.
PHOENIX SUNS
The team won’t make far and Stoutdemire is so gone. If Nash lives after this season too, than they’ll start rebuilding. Note to Suns manager: Look for some D.
PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
Good young team but their biggest offseason acquisition (Andre Miller) was so wrong for them. They could use a big scorer at Small Forward. Oden's kness will play a big role in their future too. And that’s not even a big problem as rumors says coach and team didn’t ended well last year. If they don’t start winning right from the beginning than McMillan may be gone through the season.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
This team’s too talented, too experienced, have a great coach, the best player of the last 10 years and just got stronger and younger adding Jefferson. They even got lucky by having rookie DeJuan Blair falling in the draft right into their roster. What’s missing? Right now it seems easier for me to hook up with Hayden Panittieri than Duncan, Manu e Parker playing a whole month together without one of them getting hurt. But if they do, watch out rest of the league.
SACRAMENTO KINGS
One of the most intriguing teams in the league. Why?? Cause the Malloofs brothers must have a killing 10 years plan to take over the league. Cause that’s the only explanation I found for a team to suck this much, for so long, and don’t make a effort to get somewhere. Maybe they know something about a 9 years old phenomenon even better than Lebron and are building and saving for him. I don’t know, but it’s the only explanation I found for them.
UTAH JAZZ
Every year I pic the Jazz to make the finals but I won’t be fooled anymore. I love Williams game and if he doesn’t make to All-Star Game this season than the US government should begin investigating this. The guy is clear among the 3 best PG in the NBA and never made the game. That’s just as crazy as it is unfair. But one thing I’ve learned this past years is Carlos Boozer will never lead a team toward the ring. Not while he’s more comment about renovating his contrac, trying free-agency, and things like that, than about his game. Sometimes it’s more about wanning it the most , than been the most talented.
Playoffs teams in some order:
Mavericks, Nuggets, Clippers, Lakers, Hornets, Blazers, Spurs, and Jazz.
Conference Finals: Lakers X Spurs (It will be a heath matter, so probably LA in six games)
