Wow school got in the way of my Blog, LOL!! I have 4 blogs 3 of which I have written in and one that I keep meaning to start but never have and things keep happening to keep from them. My last sports entry was about the start of the NFL season and the end of the lockout and my professed hatred of Alex Smith. Well I have to say My Niners really shined this year and Alex has gained a little respect from me. Still not sure he is right for the team but he sure did shine this year. I would have to say that it is in large part to Jim Harbaugh. He led this team from a dismal existence to the NFC Championship game. So congrats Alex keep it up and you will become a hit. The monkey on your back now is can you make it to the Super Bowl.
Well The Giants who had the worst record of the playoff teams made it to the Super Bowl. They are a much better team than their record indicates and came on strong towards the end, especially after their defense who were banged up for most of the season became healthy. Their opponents are the Patriots. Oh how I can't stand the Patriots. I loved Teddy Bruschi when he was there and I love Rob Gronkowski, however it is because of their UofA roots that I cheer/cheered (Bruschi retired) for them.
So for this Super Bowl I don't plan on rooting for a team just Gronk. Much the way I did for the Raiders Buccaneers Super Bowl. I just rooted for Jerry Rice and didn't take sides. Although I secretly rooted for the Raiders in hopes of Rice to win SB MVP award. Much the way I will this year for Gronk. Rob has done very well in just two years in the NFL. His rookie year he set a rookie record for TD for a rookie TE and this year he set the single season record for TD's by a TE and most Receiving yards by a TE. Not bad for a guy who had back surgery and missed his final year at UA. Just to kind of give you a show of dominance in his first two years he has 28 TDs in 32 games, one of those is considered a rushing TD because Brady tossed a lateral his way and they considered it rushing over receiving. To me the ball was in the air and he caught from about 4 yards away so in my book it was a pass, but I am not an official scorekeeper. Just a fan. So here is to you Gronk, Tear it up next Sunday!!
