Some Thoughts on Sports

So it took awhile to get over, but I’m able to finally shake off the fact that the Phillies lost in 6 games to the Yankees. It sucks, but whatever. Two straight years of my team going to the World Series is something not to be overlooked. Next season should be a fun one, and I’m already looking forward to it. (My picks for postseason awards haven’t changed, and they can be found here http://adamromo.blogspot.com/2009/10/mlb-playoff-preview.html, scroll past the playoff predictions) It’s too early to give a prediction for next year because of free agents, trades, retirement, players possibly shooting themselves in sweatpants, etc. but if I had to make a guess I would say that the Yankees are the very early forerunners in 2010.

Now, shifting gears, here are some midseason NFL awards:

First half MVP: Drew Brees (apologies to: Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Darren Sharper, Cedric Benson)

QB of the First Half: Drew Brees (runners up: Manning, Favre, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady)

RB: Peterson (runners up: Benson, DeAngello Williams, Michael Turner, Chris Johnson)

Defensive Player: Darren Sharper (runners up: Jared Allen, Elvis Dumervil)

Coach: Josh McDaniels (runners up: Sean Payton, Marvin Lewis, Jim Caldwell)

So yeah, so far my predictions look great, minus the Colts pick, the Panthers pick, the Vikings pick, the Bengals pick, the Broncos pick, the Seahawks pick, the … well, you get the idea.
