9 things that just don't seem right

1. If the season ended now, the Kansas State Wildcats would be Big 12 North Champions:
 Ok...ok....OK, so they are not good.  They have a full game lead with a win over the second place team and all but one of their remaining games is winnable.  It will be an upset if they pull it off, but it could happen....right?

maybe?

2. Cedric Benson is the leading rusher in the NFL.
Hahahahahaaaaa, this just makes me happy.  When are people going to realize that to be a glutton for punishment at runningback who can shrug off the pressure of being the star at the University of Texas you have to be a bit off.  Just give him some rope and let him do his thing.

Gee, I wonder if the bears would like to have him in the backfield with Cutler?


3. The Arizona Cardinals have the leading rush defense in the NFL.
Here is the blueprint.  Draft athletes for your defense and blitz like hell.  If you can do that, it makes it harder to run.  Oh, one more thing, you better draft a couple of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's to cover since your corners will be all on their own.


If you don't believe this blueprint, please review the recent history of the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens.

Next question?

4. Boise State went on the road and won a league game by 45 points....and dopped 3 spots in the BCS.
Seriously, how are they losing credit for the Oregon win as Oregon wins more games?  They owned the Ducks, they have dominated the majority of their schedule.  I would like to see them in a big conference.  Hey PAC-10, how bout we kick out Washington State and pull in the team from just to the east?


Please?  For me?

5. The Yankees, baseballs most storied franchise, has it's best team in several years on the field and in the world series.....and baseball is worse for it.
Two words: Salary Cap


These teams just sit there and buy everyone else's best players and stockpile.  We need to set it just low enough to make them actually manage their money.   You should not have to spend 100 million to make it to the world series.

And more importantly.  Noone west of the Ohio River Valley cares about this game.  We have 2 east coast villians with rotten fans going against each other.

6. The ACC, BIG 10, BIG EAST, and PAC 10 all have more BCS ranked teams than the Big 12.  
I know they have beaten themselves up a bit and OU's injuries have hurt, but do you really think that Arizona is better than OU and Texas Tech?  Just one example.




PLAYOFF

7. Sam Bradford won the Heisman, skipped the draft to come back, and played less than 4 more quarters of football in college.
He says surgery and then the draft.  I don't get it.  But I guess he can change his mind if he doesn't recover quickly.


Good luck and God speed Sam.

8. Kobe and Big Ben are accused of rape and move on with their careers.  Steve Phillips had an affair with a coworker and is fired.  
So much for the athletes not getting a fair shake by the press huh.  Shame on you Steve, but seriously?


He dated an assistant on the side.  Kobe and Big Ben were accused of rape.

9. The Dolphins lost their veteran starting corner and are better for it.
They drafted 2 corners thinking that the first rounder would step in opposite Will Allen.  Well the project from Utah beat him to it, but Vontae Davis gives the Dolphins a pair of athlets at corner that few in the league can match.
