"HOMERprano" beats "Tommy The Greek"

"TOMMY THE GREEK" gave me the name "HOMERprano" this week.

Well TTG has to EAT his words:

"Pittsburgh over ARIZONA – Steelers win
this year – Steelers-West will be a force in the future."

and I made this pick:

ARIZONA CARDINALS 24 - Pittsburgh Steelers 21

The Cardinals did it this afternoon defeating the Steelers 21 - 14.

What a great game that Defense played today. Keeping the NFL's leading rusher, Willie Parker, in check, the Cardinals beat the Steelers, ending the Steelers unbeaten season.

The Cardinals QB Duo of Matt Leinart & Kurt Warner did a fine job of mixing up the plays, keeping the Steelers at bay. Great game plan by Coach Ken Whisenhunt; this rotating QB idea is working. I have told anyone who will listen that this Cardinals team is for REAL. They proved it today and will continue to improve each week.










Congratulations to should-be-manager of the Year BOB MELVIN & the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS for winning the NL WEST CHAMPIONSHIP. Starting on Wednesday, the D-Backs face the Chicago Cubs in the best of 5 series. This young D-Backs team went much further than anyone expected. They have the Home Field advantage thru the NL Playoffs. If they continue to get the good starting Pitching, this team can go far.





The 18th ranked ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS beat Stanford 41 - 3 Saturday night for their 5th straight win. ASU won in a Pac-10 game in California for the 1st time since 1999. Coach DENNIS ERICKSON has the Sun Devils playing physical football. They dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage. This is the best ASU team since the Rose Bowl team of 1996 - led by Jake Plummer. The PAC-10 has, by far, the highest quality football in the country this year. ASU has some tough games coming up (CAL, Oregon, UCLA, & USC), but has a chance to be in the top tier of the league.




NOTE to Tommy the Greek; You can bet your ass I AM A "HOMER". I am a native Arizonan and root for the teams here. If you move here from somewhere else, you should root for the Arizona teams. Come on board TTG, it's not too late for you to get on the 'winning' team.
