This weekend was crazy in college basketball and was NFL Championship weekend!

NFL: Well, the Super Bowl is finally set. Both championship games were incredible. The Arizona Cardinals started strong and had an 18 point lead on the Eagles up to the 3rd quarter. Larry Fitzgerald was almost untouchable. The Eagles made a strong comeback and were close to victory but the Cardinals were the better team in this game and are now headed to the Super Bowl. The Arizona Cardinals will play in their first Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl 43. The Ravens and Steelers battled in what was full of defense and lost plays for both teams. The Steelers looked better overall even though both teams looked bad at some parts of the game. Troy Polamalu grabbed a late 4th quarter interception that sealed the deal for the Steelers. Ravens running back Willis McGahee suffered a very hard hit in a collision that got him carted off the field. Super Bowl 43 is February 2, 2009.

NBA: The 76ers extended their winning streak to 7 as they defeated the NY Knicks Saturday night. In relating news, Stephan Marbury is offering to put up $1 million of his salary to finally get a buyout from the Knicks. Reports say that the Boston Celtics are interested in signing him but until the ordeal with the Knicks is finalized, Marbury will not be able to play ball. Also, in other NBA news, there is more trouble between a team and player, specifically with the Blazers and Darius Miles. It is kind of another mess as well, what I do know is that the Blazers are threatening to place a lawsuit on the Grizzlies for signing him because Miles stopped playing for a while due to an injury that was life threatening.

ELSEWHERE: No. 1 ranked Pittsburgh suffered their first loss of the season by Louisville on Saturday. No. 3 Wake Forest defeated No. 9 Clemson, No. 22 Villanova defeated Seton Hall, No. 16 Xavier defeated St. Johns, No. 6 UNC defeated Miami (FL), and No. 2 Duke defeated No. 16 Georgetown. The big question is who will be this week’s No. 1 team since Pittsburgh loss Saturday.
