Atlanta Falcons, The Georgia DomeFANFARE Score: 19 Georgia Dome Aerial ViewWhat we liked: The Neighborhood The effort to promote the new “Falcon's Landing” in the plaza just outside the main gates is going well enough, though the activities (passing and kicking stations, face painting) are obviously geared towards kids. As though Tate Forcier needed any more pressure (poor kid), in comes the Next Next Great Michigan Quarterback, the One, the player Rich Rodriguez has been looking for since, well, Pat White.Devin Gardner was the top dual-threat quarterback according to most of the scouting sites and enrolled early at Michigan with as much upside as any Michigan player since Chad Henne.Yes, his highlight videos are fun to watch. I personally think if you don’t show up for your draft, your autopicks shouldn’t take place until after every person that did show up has picked their full team, but that’s another rant for another time. Don't you just love college football? It's February 5th and this week has been nothing but who might be college footballs future stars.Thank goodness National Signing Day wasn't today, I'm not sure we could have taken the suspense all week. In the NBA it works because of the sheer athleticism and excitement of the players. Expect the unexpected again this season in what is always an entertaining game. It?s hard to judge how good either team will be next season. 
I was hoping they might nick a sneaky 1-1, Or even just blow United out of the water with a tortuous 3-0 But I think that would probably best asking for a bit much. Since the Raiders don't have a first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Raiders might need to grab some sort of QB this year to groom and hope to be the future if JaMarcus doesn't improve. This will be the trickiest battle of Cain Velasquez’s young career.Ultimately, we all know Cain wants to outwork Nogueira and ground-and-pound him into oblivion.The question won’t be as much about whether Velasquez can get the takedown. Then in the 67th minute Xavi gave Barca some breathing space with his goal. In the current rules, the defense has just as many opportunities to make a big play as the opposing offense does.The question is, can they?.

A young player who has a high OBP but doesn't have any power is pretty much finished in terms of his development. He brings speed on the base paths, some pop at the plate, and a great attitude to the club house. If they can play their game of solid defense and use their weapons effectively, they have the tools to get back to the fifth seed.Wade will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders to lead this young team out of its current state and back to the postseason.And with 34 games remaining and the team fighting for playoff positioning, it's make it or break it time for the Miami Heat.. Half of that is true in that you can build a team around you, but as far as success goes, that just isnt’ true for any of the three.
