Who will win this war? Both teams have the tools to become the next Super Bowl champion, and my guess it will all go down on the last quarter, where the pressure will crack even the most experienced players, and it will bring strength to those who have hope. In the last fifteen minutes of the game we will see who wants more.
If you are at the stadium, at a bar or at home watching the game, you will be in for a night of entertainment.

Ok tennis fans, here is something you guys might have missed last night, or shall I say this morning.
A five set epic story in tennis, where the old school finally meets the new age, a few mistakes here and there, and out of nowhere Andy Roddick starts to feel the pressure.
The match seem to be favor to Roddick for some time, but Federer was putting up a great match, it was until Federer started to play the video challenge that it truly inspired him to grasp the reins of the match and take it to a great victory.
I got to tell you that Roddick face took a 180 degree turn after Federer made those two consecutive video challenges, and got them right. Federer knew he was back in business and his future date in the finals was looking brighter by the minute.
Roddick was doing a hell of a job, returning services, putting the ball to the edge, painting the lines, but Federer did an even better job of painting those lines and calling does challenges.
If Federer continues his winning streak, and wins the open, he will equal Pete Sampras record of major final appearances and based on this morning match, a whooping 6-2 7-5 7-5, we are definitely in for a treat for the finals.
If the final match is anywhere as close to this one, compared to challenges, great plays, and wearing down the opponent while making him dance to the beat of Federer’s music, just like he made Roddick dance from side to side of the court, making him hit high balls and low balls, I am sure the final match will be as exciting as this one.
Federer will now move forward to play to either one of two great players, Rafael Nadal or Fernando Verdasco.

It is obvious that Chase Budinger didn't appreciate getting his face intentionally stepped on by the Arizona forward Huston's Aubrey Coleman in the second half of their game Saturday. As Coleman walked over Budinger, he appeared to stomp on Budinger's face “purposely”. Some might say that it was an accident, but needless to say, it was his face.Now, how would you react if someone stomped on your face? Budinger, probably reacted the same way you would have, rather swiftly. Luckily the officials and other players intervened quite quickly, before any punches were thrown.
Arizona ended up winning the basketball game with an amazing comeback in the last minutes to force overtime. You think that the little altercation provide the necessary motivation the Wildcats needed, as they majorly outscored Houston the rest of the way? Of course, and lets us not forget that Houston lost their best player, Coleman, after the little incident.
Coleman has now officially, apologized to Chase according to rivals.com:
“I want to apologize to Chase Budinger for what happened Saturday night. I never meant to step on him,” “I have never been in an incident like this before, and I have nothing but respect for him as a great player. I love the game too much to do something like that intentionally. I want to say I am sorry from the bottom of my heart,” Coleman said. “I know that God knows what is in my heart, but I am hopeful that Chase will understand and forgive.”
Well, that God line makes it sound like it really comes from the heart, very sincere. But note that the actions speak louder than words, and that stomp looked anything else but unintentional. Coleman is either very great actor or very sloppy with his feet when there is a player underneath his feet. Like in every incident story, these two will probably see it as a moment in sports and forget about it and continue a great friendship in the name of sportsmanship.

You guys have to see this fight over and over again, after just three minutes of fighting Fedor knocks out Arlovski.
I got to admit that Arlovski was having a good fight last night, at first it seemed like he was beating Fedor to the punch and landing some good kicks, one of them even push the WAMMA champion into a corner making him seem a little unstable. Continuing his attack Arlovski tried to finish Fedor with a flying knee, but Fedor had something saved for him.
In the middle of the flying knee kick, Fedor countered the kick with a right hand punch to the head that automatically stopped Arlovski in mid flight, and finishing him of laying flat face on the ground.
Fedor knocked Arlovski in only 3 minutes and 14 seconds of the first round, adding Arlovski to the list of UFC champions defeated by Fedor.
If you miss the match, please enjoy the video.

January 18 2009, It is the AFC match Steelers Vs Ravens, what a match.
The game was going well into the end of the 4th quarter; Steelers are up 23-14 and the ravens got the ball. Joe Flacco passes to Willis Mcgahee, he turns around, starts running, gets momentum, but here comes Steelers Ryana Clark, at full speed… I let the video tell you the rest of the action.
Willis was taken off the field with a concussion, and we hope he gets better.Steelers will move forward to the Super bowl XLIII against Cardinals, this will be a match to see, after all it is the first time the Cardinals play on the Super Bowl and they are playing against a team who already won the Super Bowl to season ago.
