If you've seen him play then you understand how good this guy is. Among the things stats don't show is heart, leadership and attitude. He has all of those things and then some. Watch him play. You'll enjoy it. 

 

 

I keep hearing that Xavier Lee is inconsistent but makes big plays. I keep hearing Drew Weatherford is consistent but lacks big play ability. I see an offensive line that cannot protect a pocket passer because they are learning as they go. I see a running game that needs every advantage it can get to gain yards, possess the ball and give the defense some time to rest and adjust.

I keep hearing that Drew Weatherford has the experience. Perhaps that is why he shouldn't be the starting quarterback. He's had the better part of three seasons to improve as a starting quarterback at Florida State but because of various reasons, some of which are definitely out of his control, he hasn't done it. When Drew throws a pick 6 early against UAB he is allowed to continue playing. When he fails to complete passes to open recievers he is allowed to continue playing. If not for Jimbo Fisher, Drew would have played throughout the Alabama game and Xavier would've been kicking himself for not transferring sooner. Oh by the way, FSU would've lost to Bama.

I've heard a lot of people wondering if this is a race issue. I don't want to believe that. I've heard this is a political issue. Possibly. All I know is the playing field isn't equal for whatever reason. Against Wake Forest, Xavier passed for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns in the first half. To start the second half he led the offense to four straight 3 and outs. Exit Lee. Enter Weatherford. What?!?! How can he get better if he isn't allowed to play through his mistakes?! How many times has Drew done the same if not worse with no consequence?! Did Lee's first half show you nothing?! This guy has "it" but he must play to cultivate "it".

At the point the QB change was made I surrendered. I knew Wake was going to win and that was that. The team seemed deflated to me. Their collective demeanor changed dramatically for the worse both on offense and defense. It was no shock that Wake went up top for 6 shortly thereafter. As a true fan I want to win every game every year. As a fairminded person, I want to show improvement from the previous season, previous game and previous series.

(Not to knock Drew because he's just a kid. He would be a very good quarterback if he had a good offensive line and a good running game. I don't want it to seem as if I'm jumping on him at all but the current situation at FSU does not play to his strengths. The coaches have to see this.)

This is a brand new offense for FSU and for many of these players it's the second offense they've had to learn. There are new coaches across the board and there will be growing pains as a result. When you consider the schedule two things jump out: you're not going undefeated and next season they all come to you. Next season all the road games becomes home games at Doak Campbell with a veteran FSU team waiting. An FSU team in it's second year of Fisher's offense. None of that will matter if you don't begin to improve now. It's obvious to anyone with sight that Xavier Lee has the best skill set of the FSU quarterbacks. The problem is he has less than half of a season of starts over his career. Six games to be exact. How can he be consistent with six starts?

If Xavier Lee is allowed to play the game, make his mistakes and learn from them he will lead Florida State to national relevance again.

Wouldn't that be an experience?

If this season is nothing else, it is unpredictable. Who could've foreseen App State over Michigan, Stanford over Southern Cal, South Florida number 2 in the first BCS Poll, Nebraska getting hammered like nails, Illinois beating Penn State and Wisconsin but losing to Iowa who lost to Penn State and Wisconsin and Indiana and Iowa State or LSU destroying Virginia Tech who demolished Clemson who dominated Florida State who beat Alabama who outlasted Arkansas who nearly took one away from Auburn who beat Florida in the Swamp but lost to Mississippi State who got destroyed by LSU. I don't want to mention Louisville.

With all that said can anyone honestly believe an undefeated team will make it to the Sugar Bowl? Who's to say a 2 loss team won't play for the national championship?

You can't look at the schedules and say Team A has the easiest road to New Orleans because their remaining games are (fill in the blank). Anybody can beat anybody. Ohio State can lose any of their last four. South Florida's not playing high school teams either. They can lose.

What if Florida runs the table? With four more nationally televised games, three of which against teams that are currently ranked 6, 7 and 20 and the SEC championship against, say, top 5 LSU and the memory of what they did last season they have an excellent shot at getting the chance to defend their title.

Arizona State, Oregon, Cal and USC are 8, 10, 12 and 14 respectively. A State is the only undefeated.  They won't finish that way.

Was Virigina Tech's loss too humiliating to recover from or did they lose early enough to right the ship, win out and get into the top 2 with some help? They're number 11 and a win over third ranked Boston College will obviously catapult them into the top 10. 

I dont know what the second half of this season will hold and neither do you. But I do know being and undefeated champion is so 2005.

And I know Florida State needs to let Xavier Lee play through his mistakes instead of pulling him from the game, which leads to Lee, his teammates and the fans to all question the coaching staff. He's not Rex Grossman. He is the answer! Go Noles!

I'm going to make this as short as possible: This L isn't A-Rod's fault. Better yet, this L isn't only A-Rod's fault. Unlike any of his previous seasons in pinstripes, A-Rod carried this team for the entire regular season. No A-Rod. No playoffs. Period. Despite the horrible pitching, lack of production from the likes of Damon, Cano and Abreu for half of the season and the media circus that surrounds the Yanks, he was still there. Producing. Period.

Now in a playoff series where the "ace" of the staff pitched about 4 innings of "get shelled" baseball over two games, where "The Rocket" never seemed to leave the launching pad, where Joba was attacked by creatures of the night and where his staff as a whole gave up 24 runs over four games there are those that still find ways to blame this loss to Cleveland on A-Rod and A-Rod only. Pitching wins championships. Maybe A-Rod needs to work on his two seam fastball because he has to lead his team to 7+ runs every game to win.

True, he could have and should have done more but the same can be said for virtually every Yankee. I get the feeling that if he didn't hit two homers each game, both to put the Bombers ahead, then he would be viewed as a failure. Again. Period.

This A-Rod edition of the Blame Game is old.

I will never understand these people. These reporters that make huge stories out of understood topics. They make villians out of villians, cheaters out of cheaters, liars out of liars and it's two days past old. We all have Sports Term Memory. It's a phrase I started using when I realized WWE announce teams make the same statements about different situations involving the same person as if it's never been said before. For instance, at WrestleMania 3, Hulk Hogan never faced an obstacle like Andre the Giant. The same thing was said when wrestled Zeus, The Undertaker, The Ultimate Warrior, The Giant aka The Big Show, Goldberg, The Rock etc. Plain and simple, reporters have the habit of telling us something we already knew, something they've already told us but pumping it up as if it's fresh. It's as if they forgot they've already reported these stories or they think we have bad Sports Term Memories and don't remember that we've heard/read these stories years ago.

Why are people so upset with Gary Sheffield? I don't get it. So he gives his opinion as to why there are more Latin players than Black players (not completely intelligent yet not completely ignorant) and some people want him burned at the stake. But Sheff saying something that rubs people the wrong way is nothing new. For 20 years he's been a major league jerk so why should I be disgusted with him now. Better yet, why should I even pay him attention knowing who he is and how he is? If Ken Griffey, Jr said it then we'd have a story.

So A-Rod likes strip clubs and well-endowed blondes? Where exactly is the shock value? I don't know any heterosexual male that doesn't find well-endowed blondes at least somewhat appealing. So what he's married? I'm not saying it's cool to cheat on your spouse but it isn't exactly a breaking story when we hear of infidelity from the rich and famous. Seeing pictures of A-Rod out with another woman only interested me because she was easy on the eyes. Now if Tony Dungy is spotted with Whyte Chocolate after a road game against the Falcons, let me know.

So Kobe is selfish? Ummm...this was obvious about 10 years ago. No doubt he's my favorite player but he's not exactly Ghandi. I think he was completely justified in asking to be traded. I don't think he had as much to do with Shaq being traded as everybody thinks although I know he didn't shed a tear when it happened. I think he's absolutely right about Jerry Buss, Jerry West and the Lakers front office as a whole. But a superstar athlete wanting/demanding out of a bad situation is not rare at all. The Kevin Garnett's of the world are the oddities. Should Kobe have gone public? Absolutely not. But this is 2007. There's no such thing as "internal" in sports anyway.

I know Lou Pinella is insane. I know Curt Schilling is a hypocrit. I know Barry Bonds doesn't care about the game. I know Roger Clemens' is a diva. What I want to know is how will this scar tissue affect his performance because my Yanks are suckin wind right now and need all the help they can get.

Just don't tell me this is the greatest obstacle he's ever faced...again.

So sorry Boston and Memphis. You did a great job trying not to win games but alas the basketball gods have past judgement on you. Your disrepect of the game will not go unpunished. Not only will neither of you get the top pick in the 07 NBA Draft but you won't land in the top three.

I don't know if the Celtics and Grizzlies tried to lose every game they played after the All Star break but it sure looked like it and with players like Greg Oden and Kevin Durant mortal locks to enter the draft it all made sense. The only problem is lottery spots are selected via, well, a lottery. Trying to lose games only increases your chances but it doesn't guarantee you anything. Obviously. Unfortunately, next season someone will undoubtedly tank the second half of the year in attempts to get the next big thing and hopefully they'll fail just as the C's and Grizz did. Remember what Herm so eloquently taught us, you play to win the game!

So LeBron wasn't supposed to pass the ball to a wide open shooter? Really? He wasn't supposed to give it up to a guy that was brought in to spread the floor and knock down that shot? A guy that made half a dozen trey's the last time he took the court? If Donyell Marshall makes that three then everyone is praising James for being the anti-Kobe: an unselfish player that trusts his teammates even in the crunch of an extremely important Eastern Conference Finals game. If James doesn't pass and misses the shot then he becomes selfish. If Wise, I mean LeBron makes that shot but the Cavs lose the game later then everyone would scream that Cleveland could've, should've, would've won if he only kicked it out to Marshall. This is a joke. If you want to love LeBron's playmaking ability and commend him for making others better then don't deviate from it just to have something to talk or write about. The bottom line is Donyell missed the shot that seemingly would've have given Cleveland a huge Game 1 win on Detriot's home court. For some reason King James is being punished for it.

This Lakers team is average at best. Kobe is forced to score 40+ just to have a chance to win a game. Is it his fault he's in this predicament? Most fair-minded people would say yes. However, as a Lakers fan I could careless as to why the team is weak. I just want a competitive team on the floor. Here's what needs to happen.

The Lakers need to lose Smush Parker. I like his physical ablility but his head is on another planet right now. Everytime they show a close-up of him sitting on the bench while Jordan Farmar or Shammond Williams get minutes, I get nervous because he looks like he's about five minutes away from punching Phil Jackson in the face and fleeing through the stands.

Kwame Brown needs to go also. I undertand why they want to keep him. What he showed in Game 3 of this Suns series was impressive. The problem is he's not going to play that way very often and everybody knows it. From fans to teammates to coaches to the front office staff. There's no way you can afford to pay a guy 9 million per year if he's not going to make a significant, positive impact on the game.

The Lakers should be active in the free agent market this offseason. They lose Aaron McKie and possibly Chris Mihm who are worth a combined 6.7 million. Brian Grant's 15.5 million will no longer be on the books. Luke Walton is the only free agent the Lakers need to keep. I'd like to see them re-sign Ronny Turiaf from strictly an entertainment standpoint but I'd trade that for 50 wins, homecourt advantage and a shot at the 14th banner.

I'm not the smartest guy in the room but if your payroll is going to drop by 20 million (before re-signing your free agents) then you should be able to bring in a couple of veterans that can help Kobe and Lamar. The list of free agents isn't spectacular but Morris Peterson, Mo Williams or Jamaal Magloire would all be upgrades to McKie, Smush and Kwame.

For instance, signing Mo Williams would give LA an athletic, more experienced point guard that can score (17 ppg), pass (6 apg) and defend. He's shorter than what Phil likes but he's better than what Phil has. If they signed, say, Magloire that would give them a nice rotation at the center of Bynum, Magloire, Kwame (I think he'll be a Laker next year). You'd have experience, ability and youth. Of course I could be made to look like a fool if Bynum breaks out and becomes a 15-10 guy or Kwame has a few Dr. Phil sessions and mentally matures but I'll take my chances.

I'm not saying these moves will be made or have to be made for LA to become a legit threat in the West. I am saying the Lakers can improve without trying to make some jaw-dropping trade all summer for a huge name that won't happen and leave me stuck watching the double feature "As the Kobe Scores" and "As the Kobe Loses" next season.

Although Kobe and Kevin sounds real nice.

 

Jon Beck and Brady Quinn are forever linked.

The Detroit Lions HAD to pick Calvin Johnson.

The New England Patriots are front office gangsters.

Mike Williams isn't as good as Calvin Johnson but is good enough to replace Randy Moss.

The Raiders really wanted Randy gone.

Mel Kiper's is insane. Who cares if a punter runs a 4.4 40?

Washington's safeties are big, strong, mean, fast, young and very good.

Denver's new defensive ends will quickly replace their old defernsive ends.

San Francisco really wanted Joe Staley.

Greg Olsen doesn't fit the Bears offensive scheme.

Rex Grossman doesn't fit the Bears offensive scheme. 

Troy Smith should be happy he landed in Baltimore.

Dwayne Jarrett should've stayed in school.

Cincinnatti and New Orleans each go three deep at the running back.

Just because you don't know who a player is doesn't mean he won't be good.

The Giants hit the jackpot with Steve Smith.

When/If Mike Bush gets healthy he will start for the Raiders.

Buffalo got two very nice running backs.

Count on Denver to take the weirdo of the draft i.e. Maurice Clarett now Marcus Thomas.

You do not leave school early to get drafted in the last, next to last or next, next to last rounds unless your family owes me money.

ESPN made one to many mistakes during the telecast.

The first round doesn't have to be that long.

The second round doesn't have to be that long.

The Cleveland Browns are both lucky and good.

Ted Ginn better be 9th pick good immediately.

11 of the first 32 picks were from the SEC.

For the first time ever, I rooted for Brady Quinn.

Before I rooted for Brady Quinn I laughed uncontrollably at Brady Quinn.

I wish I was a Patriot fan.

Go Cardinals!

You don't fire the manager because his pitchers are brittle. There is nothing Joe Torre can do to "right the ship" unless he's a part time physician or at least a Grey's Anatomy fan. By all accounts, he has the respect of his players and for the most part has been good over the years during games. There is no intelligent reason to give him a pink slip. For those who would argue that the Yanks have fizzled in the past few postseasons my response would be...so what! They have been in over half of the World Series' played since 1996, they always win their division and in their past few playoff appearances they haven't had the starting pitching or rested and reliable middle relievers to get the job done.

You also don't fire Brian Cashman because he didn't go after Zito or they didn't bid high enough to get Matsuzaka or Kei Igawa has struggled out of the gate because Zito would've gotten pounded (he needed to make the move to the NL) and Igawa was only supposed to be the fifth starter. Should blame be assigned to him for the underbid for Matsuzaka? Possibly and probably but if Mussina and Wang had been healthy and capable of getting 6-7 solid innings per outing it wouldn't have been a discussion. Besides, he doesn't want to add to many multi-year, big money contracts on starting pitchers when Phil Hughes and Chase Wright were due to come up within the next year or two. The only reason we've seen them this season in because injuries forced the moves.

Torre's job should be safe until season's end and you only fire him if you can (a) get a top flight manager to replace him and (b) truly plan on revamping the roster.

I like swagger. I like confidence. I even like a little bit of cockiness and arrogance. I have these qualities myself. With that said, this disturbs me. No wonder they call us Gen En as in Generation Entitlement.  A lot of what's wrong with sports can be found right there. I know who I blame but you decided for yourselves.

So Tubby Smith is finally gone. People like Dicky Vitale want to chastise the Kentucky basketball fans for being so hard on their coach. For not being happy with NCAA berths and 26 wins per season. Rick Pitino even went as far as to say UK would be set back decades if they let Tubby go. The "experts" are idiots.

This is Kentucky basketball we're talking about. Most wins ever. Second most national titles ever. Averaging 26 wins is irrelavant at Rupp. National Championships are all that matter and rightfully so. Besides, winning 26 isn't all that impressive when you play 35 virtually every year. Honestly, 22-12 while getting paid $2.5 million per year at UK is downright pathetic.

Of course Pitino is going to defend Tubby Smith. Ricky P. had zero problems out recruiting Smith and his Louisville program is, without question, the number 1 college hoops program in the state. I'm sure UK fans wanted to gouge their own eyes when Rupp Arena was a sea of red led by the architect of their return to glory in the 90's.

Don't tell me Tubby was a great coach because he won a title either. Adolph Rupp could've coached that 98 team to a championship. No, not if he were still alive. I mean, literally in his current state.

The bottom line is Tubby Smith, albeit a good coach and they say he's a good man, needed to go and Kentucky needed to move on. Maybe Vitale will call a few more Minnesota games next season. 

Durant. Oden. Law IV. Brooks. Green and Hibbert. Noah, Horford and Brewer. Wright and Rush. Afflalo. They all are going to be major players in the 2007 NCAA Tournament but the great deciders are from Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels have size up front with Tyler Hansbrough and Brandon Wright. They have depth in the backcourt with Ty Lawson, Wayne Eliington, Bobby Frasor and Wes Miller. They've got Reyshawn Terry to remind them of how tough this road to a national championship is considering he won one in 2004. They've got one of the best head coaches in the country in Roy Williams.

The biggest problem facing Carolina is their overall youth. In a perfect world Ty Lawson would be a fifth year senior with 120+ games under his belt giving him the experience to put all of his guys exactly where they needed to be when the frenetic pace of their fast break offense was slowed and they had to play a half court game. However, when you're going to face a pair of Longhorn freshmen in Kevin Durant and point guard D.J. Augustin (barring a major upset) then experience is a moot point.

There are a few chinks in the armor. UNC is 1-3 in games decided by 5 points or less which shows either a lack of heart or a lack of experience. Of their 6 losses, 4 were on the road and 1 was on a neutral site which shows a a lack of discipline in front of less-friendly and plain hostile corwds. Or maybe they just got beat for no other reason than the other team being hungrier and ultimately better that day or days in Virginia Tech's case.

At the end of the day North Carolina has more firepower than any other team in this tournament and an offensive scheme that can break the will of any opponent they draw. Get ready for a great title game. UNC over Florida.

I know I did. I've done it many times since then but none of them have been as sweet as my introduction to it. I know I'm not alone. The first time you realized you didn't have a curfew. The first time you received a paycheck. The first time you picked up your child. The first time a woman actually let you...nevermind. The point is, first times are special occasions that will always be with us and will only grow in lore as the years pass by and the story is told again and again and again. By no means should anyone attempt to devalue anyone's first time. Yes, it can get irritating if your buddy finally...umm...got to know a woman and wants to talk about it without end but who are we to attempt to devalue it because we don't think it's that big of a deal. It is to him and we should all respect that. Such is the state of the NFL. There are a lot of firsts that we will all be subjected to whether you like it or not and they all are important in one sense or another.

A Manning is making his first appearance in the final game of the season. For the first time a black man will be the head coach of a team playing in the final game of the season. For the first time a black man will be the head coach of both teams playing in the final game of the season. The Colts are making their first Super Bowl appearance. Since moving to Indianapolis that is. Pittsburgh hired their first black coach who happens to be the youngest black coach in league history.

To certain people each of those things are very important. To some, Peyton Manning not only winning the AFC Championship but also defeating the Brady-Belichick Patriot machine after being down 18 points is the biggest story. To others, the black head coaches kicking down the Super door and proving that blacks can coach if given the same opportunities and resources is paramount. There are many who will take pleasure in the Indianapolis Colts finally making it to the Super Bowl after Operation Mayflower over 20 years ago, perhaps vindicating the decision to bolt out of Baltimore is headline number one. Then there are those who feel Mike Tomlin's rise to the head coaching ranks based on his own merit as well as the beliefs of the fair-minded Rooney family is a second-to-none topic.

My take on those things are simple. Congrats Peyton. Congrats Indianapolis Colts. Both of those things are terrific stories that in some ways extend beyond the world of sports. However, by far the biggest stories to me are of the black head coaches. Here's why.

It's great whenever a barrier is broken in terms of race, gender, religion, etc. These two coaches should be celebrated for their accomplishments. To make it to the pinnacle of your profession against the odds and obstacles is truly outstanding. This is great from an outsiders view. Mike Tomlin is great from an insiders view in that he didn't have to wait until his late 40s to get this opportunity. He worked his way up the ranks much like the man he replaced, Bill Cowher. Much like new Raiders coach Lane Kiffin. He didn't walk into a horrible job coaching a team of talentless, junior varisty players. He's coaching the current NFL champs. He played on a much more even field than any black coach before him and his color did not play a negative role in his ascension. This is both refreshing and enlightening. From the outside looking in it appears that minorities are not afforded the same chances as the majority. While things aren't yet equal (the media doesn't cover "normal" happenings with this much fervor) they are much better than they used to be. That is cause for celebration. Hopefully we'll get to the point soon when it's not even an issue to be discussed. Sort of like the once heated black quarterback debate.

Regardless of what you feel you shouldn't deny the importance of the firsts that we are seeing right now. Yes, they all will be forced down our throats for two weeks and we'll all get sick of hearing about them. But before you call hurl at the thought someone else is going to mention the words Manning, breakthrough, Colts, retribution, black, coaches, succeed, race, ignorance, legacy and/or finally remember how your first time was and understand the joy so many are feeling.

Uh-oh. I've been thinking again.

I'm afraid for the Bears everytime Rex Grossman drops back to pass.

How did the Saints make it all year with Fred Thomas at corner?

Why do people chase Reggie Bush when they're five plus yards behind him after he's started sprinting?

Reche Caldwell should be ashamed.

Reggie Wayne should be ashamed.

The Patriots showed class after that defeat.

Peyton Manning hasn't gotten the #### off his back...yet.

Is Terrell Owens worth more than Bill Parcells?

Did the Pats actually choke away that game?

Corey Dillon looks like a WWE wrestler.

Was Deuce McCalister hurt or just limping for fun?

Two black head coaches in the Super Bowl does not mean all black coaches are great.

Two black head coaches in the Super Bowl does mean black coaches can succeed if given the opportunity.

Rookie running backs do pretty well for themselves in Super Bowls i.e Jamal Lewis, Ickey Woods, Timmy Smith and Tony Dorsett. Three wins. One Loss.

The Pats secondary is better than I thought.

Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson are a tough one-two punch.

Marvin Harrison is getting old.

Mushin Muhammad is getting old.

Tom Brady is still clutch.

Brian Urlacher is unbelievable.

Devin Hester is going home.

Drew Brees is as good as advertised.

Mark Anderson is very fast.

The Saints are going to be good for a long time.

The Saints are going to be good for a long time if they upgrade their secondary.

New England doesn't miss Vinatieri.

Indianapolis doesn't miss the liqoured up kicker.

Where is Mike Vanderjagt?

Jim Nantz and Phil Simms make me sick.

Steve Tasker looks like he can still play football.

Dan Marino and Boomer Esiason (no rings) picked New England and Shannon Sharpe (three rings) picked Indy.

Given the previous fact are you shocked that the Colts won?

If this is the year of the Gator then Grossman will be a champion soon.

If this is the year of the Gator why are Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney and Chad Jackson at home?

Do the Pats have all the Florida recievers on their roster?

Bob Sanders is insane.

The biggest play of the Colts-Pats game was Troy Brown's pass interference call.

I don't care that Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are good friends.

Are the Colts still upset they didn't get Maroney as reported on draft day?

Eli Manning's life just got more difficult.

Super Bowl XLI should be...interesting.
