It was clearly not the storybook ending everyone thought it would be for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42 and their quest for a perfect 19-0 season. 

Why did they lose? 

The Giants defense pressured Tom Brady more than any other team all season. The Giants front 4 was relentless all game long and the defense stepped up when they had to. The Giants offense did not do much until the 4th quarter with 2 TD drives.
Bad coaching Bill Belichick - Why did Belichick elect to go for it on fourth and 13 in the 3rd quarter when the Patriots leading 7-3 instead of attempting the 49-yard field goal?  The Pats were clearly not prepared as well as they should have been for this game.  Walking off the field with 2 seconds left in the ball game was such a poor display of sportsmanship.  Belichick is such a sore loser.   Shame on the Pats and shame on Belichick. 

Why does the media hate Jessica Simpson?  Lets start blaming Tom Brady’s girlfriend Gisele Bundchen for his poor performance in thr Super Bowl just like the media blamed Jessica Simpson for no good reason for Tony Romo’s horrible performances at the end of the season.  I am sure Brady would have played much better in the Super Bowl if it were not for Gisele.  Instead of hanging out with his super hot girlfriend, he should have been getting treatment for his ankle.

Congrats to the NYG Giants!  They came in red-hot with nothing to lose and they took it to the Patriots.  Eli Manning got it done when it counted.  Its amazing how much he has matured in these playoffs.  It all started when Jeremy Shockey got injured and no longer having to listen to Shockey bitch and complain about not getting the ball.

You are good if you go undefeated in the regular season.  To go undefeated in the playoffs and win the Super Bowl, you have to be great.  The Patriots are simply on th that great.  18-1 is good, not too bad,  but simply not great.

Let this be a lesson to everyone.  CHEATERS NEVER WIN!  Cheating will only get you so far, like in the Patriots case, to the Super Bowl, but eventually it catches up to you!!! 

Marion Jones was sentenced to 6 months in prison for lying to investigators about using performance-enhancing drugs and her role in a check-fraud scam.

Jones deserves every minute she will spend in the minimum security prison.  Jones was treated like every other human being convicted of the same crimes.  In fact, the sentence could have and should have been more severe and Jones ought to be grateful her sentence was only 6 months. 

The moral of the story is if you are stupid enough to lie to the government and get caught, you will go to prison.  I thought Marion Jones was doing something special, almost super-human by winning 3 gold medals and 2 bronze medals in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.  As a sports fan, I am ashamed of myself for rooting for her while all that time she was cheating.  Just when I am about to get excited about a track and field star athlete breaking records and winning races, I always wonder if they cheating just like Marion Jones did.

In what should come as no surprise to anyone, today Barry Bonds was indicted on perjury and obstruction charges for telling a federal grand jury he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. 

The Feds have been after Bonds for years as if he were a terrorist that this indictment was only a matter of time.  All that Bonds had to do is tell the truth to the grand jury back in December 2003 about his use of  steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs and none of this would have happened.  What an idiot! 

Do not call her Olympic Champion anymore.  Now call her a cheater and convicted felon.    Its the end of yet another sad chapter to the ongoing BALCO steroids scandal.  Marion Jones, the 3-time Olympic gold medalist is finally coming clean and confessing that she used steroids before and after the 2000 Olympics.  Like all the others,  Jones claims she did not know what she was taking at the time.

For any World Class athlete, there is no excuse for not know what you are putting in your body.  I feel for all those other athletes she was cometing against during that time.  Many were robbed of Olympic glory because of the actions of Jones and others involved with BALCO.    We all thought we were watching something special with Marion Jones who seemed just head and shoulders above her peers. 

Jones was a gifted athlete way back at Thousand Oaks High School  in California and actually went on to win an NCAA Basketball championship at the University of North Carolina.  It makes you wonder without steroids, how well she would have fared. 

Its tough to feel sorry for her when it took her so long to come clean with the truth.  We all wished it was not true, but ultimately, you cannot run away from the truth and Jones’ judgment day has come. 

I just wonder who is next ?  Bonds?
