Jets QB Mark Sanchez is fond of Roy Hobbs

The New York Jets’ rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez comes up at his news conference Friday wearing a balck T-shirt with the word 'wonderboy' printed on the chest.

“Yep, Roy Hobbs,” Sanchez said with a big smile. Hobbs, of course, is the power-hitting character played by Robert Redford in the 1984 film, “The Natural.” The movie was based on Bernard Malamud’s 1952 novel of the same name in which Hobbs carves his beloved bat, “Wonderboy,” out of a tree that was split in half by a lightning bolt. “I’ve had it for a while,” Sanchez said. “I’m wearing everything that could bring a little something good.”

Sanchez is wondering that all leads to a Hollywood-type ending with his teammates with jets jerseys—Roy Hobbs style—complete with confetti and a trophy.

Allen will try his best against Romo

Hundreds of the fans wasped and screamed this Sunday at the Metrodome. Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen will have a head to head battle which was full of energy.

We are sure both of them will run the game without mercy. Even though he’s buddies with Romo’s dad.“I love Ramiro,” Allen said in a telephone interview earlier this week. “I’ve spent a lot of time with him and he’s a great guy. We met because we have the same financial guy. And we always talk football; but once we get on the field, anything goes. Trust me: Tony’s not going to take it easy on trying to pick us apart the whole game.” Allen had done a good job after he stepped into the Vikings taht he was called a Minnesota madman.

Hope these two guys with the NFL jerseys can be better.

Carroll is active

Pete Carroll is busy these days. Seatle's new coach rarely had time to sit down and had a rest from his sweet hello to the city before he began the Seahawks' next search. Carroll with team chief executive officer Tod Leiweke have a interview for Omar Khan.

An announcement of a new GM could come this weekend. Or Seattle could seek a second batch of candidates. It's unusual to pick a coach and choose a new GM to conform to him rather than the other way around. Carroll never had so much power after the Pats fired him as coach following the 1999 season. “Yeah, I think there’s a real positive in it. I get to be involved in it,” Carroll said. “I like it a lot, as a matter of fact.”

Leiweke said the only target for him is to coach these players with seahawks jerseys well.

Favre focuses on the battle at present

Quarterback Brett Favre wearing the No.4 vikings jersey can't help holding his excitement about back to a Super Bowl with his new team.

“That’s the only reason I came back,” Favre said. His contract has extended to another year as his contribution of 33 touchdown passes equals an effective 40-year-old. “Honestly, I see us sitting here next week having this press conference again,” Favre said, anticipating a Vikings victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and advancing to the NFC Championship game. “If that doesn’t happen, to me it will be a shock. So I just haven’t thought about what next year will be like, or what I will be doing next week.” Favre said it's a good try to play at 40th and all he wants to do is beat Cowboys.

Manning, Lewis battle each other with words

It is fun to see them battle with each other: Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis will try to battle with each other eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

Their teammates have been happy enough to see this most entertaining and loudest match of the NFL playoff weekend. “It can get pretty chaotic out there,” Colts left tackle Charlie Johnson said with a laugh, reflecting on other times he’s been in the crossfire. “They’ve played against each other so many times that Peyton will make a check and then Ray will make a check and then Peyton will make another check. In a way, it’s kind of fun to listen to.”

I wonder how these two of the best players with NFL jerseys work the battle with wisdom.

Marion Barber is back home

Cowboys running back Marion Barber with his No.24 dallas cowboys jerseyis back home to Minnesota for a playoff game Sunday. But his actions depend on the condition of his left knee.

Barber was absent from many practice last week, tried his best but was stuck on the sideline after 4 yards.“He’s already better than he was last week and better than he was after the game,” Phillips said. “So we think he’s going to be all right. And I know he wants to play going back to Minnesota. But we’ll monitor it.” He had played college footbal at Minnesota. If Barber cant make it , then Felix Jones who had a career-high 146 yards against Philadelphia would step in for more carries.

Except Barber looking forward to homecoming, Choice will rexh to his college teammate Adrian Peterson who's enjoy the scenery with Brett Favre.

Cardinals are heading on

The Arizona Cardinals beat the Green Bay Packers to a 51-45 Sunday. Karlos Dansby wearing his No.58ardinals jersey contributed the key TD to win the game.

“He (Michael Adams)made a sack, the ball went in the air, I just made a play on the ball,” Dansby said. Arizona will face the NFC's top seed, the Saints, in New Orleans on Saturday. The Raven's win at New England, so the Jets will meet San Diego. A Cow-boys-Vikings matchup in Minnesota already was done after Dallas won a playoff game for the first time since 1996. “That’s probably one of the best games ever played in the playoffs,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “We’ll play our game against the Colts; it’ll be our will against their will,” Rice said. “It’ll be a fourth-quarter game. The Xs and Os will take care of themselves. Playoff football is a little different from regular season. In the regular season, those plays are not being made.”

Next head coach of Seahawks

Jim Mora was dismissed after only one season on Friday. The Seattle Seahawks turned to USC coach Pete Carroll according to the report of NFL Network.

The report said that Seahawks chief executive Tod Leiweke and another team executive met with Carroll about the working as the team's next head coach. They can know each other beacause legal counsel Lance Lopes' brother is one of the USC staff. USC spokesman Tim Tessalon said Peter's name came out at that time every year. He had not reponsed on such reports in the past. But a spokesman of Seatle seahawks' headquarters declined to comment on Carroll. The truth is that we are used to hear people talk about Pete going to NFL that voice happened every year.

Who can guarantee those players with seahawks jerseys?

Morris will be still the head coach of Bucs

All the players with buccaneers jerseys will be still coached by Raheem Morris for a second season.

Team co-chairman Joel Glazer just made one-sentence statement about the annoucement. He said ownership supports a plan set in motion after the NFL's youngest coach was hired last January. Morris' first season ws tough enough with an end of 3-13. he team's worst finish since 1991 fueled speculation that the Glazer family might consider a change. While Glazer said they are committed to the plan that they began 12 months ago with coach Morris. They hope to build on the pieces that are put in place this season.

Morris believed the direction of the team was right despite the bad record.

Bills inspired by the snow

Peyton Manning may not that pleased with his Mother Nature's picturesque snow-globe backdrop. Bills defeated the Indianapolis Colts to a 30-7 victory.

"I loved it," Bills coach Perry Fewell said. "It was a Buffalo day." All that was missing were snow-angels in the end zone, though Terrell Owens did his part by doing jumping jacks on the sideline after scoring on a 41-yard touchdown pass. "Yeah, that's the thing. You've got to get caught up in the moment," Owens said, about his spontaneous celebration. "But once all that stuff settles down, it's back to freezing." Ryan Fitzpatrick got three touchdowns in the first half as the Bills struggle into a vague offseason after missing the playoffs for a 10th straight year.

Each coin has two sides. This winnning is realy sweet to those bills jerseys.
