NFL Draft Breakdown


In the next few blogs I have done a lot of research to break down each conference in the NFC and AFC. I have graded each teams draft as well as give some insight as to why I believe the grades are the way they are.

Pre-Draft I had thoughts that it would not be as high powered as most but I have changed my mind since then. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think, thanks.

Jazz 102 Nuggets 116


After Carmelo Anthony blasted teammates following Denver's game 4 loss, the team decided to show up Wednesday night and helped Anthony pull away from the Jazz for an explosive win and a lights out shooting performance. Still, the Nuggets are down 3-2 in the series and in Utah Jazz history the franchise has never lost a series with a 3-1 lead.

The difference in the 2 games last night is staggering. We all know the Western Conference is better than the East but last night just proved that for everyone to see on national television.
Both the Jazz and Nuggets could sweep the Bucks and Hawks with their stars on the bench.

Despite the loss, D. Will showed up again for the Jazz, continuing his great playoff's with 34 points and 10 assists. Unless Carmelo gets the same help from J.R. Smith, who had the hot hand from outside and Kenyon Martin, who had 18 points in last nights game. Martin's most points in a playoff game since 2005, you can bet the Jazz will wrap this series up in game 6.

Bucks 91 Hawks 87


A little old with the new, the Milwaukee Bucks have an eclectic group of older and younger players that helped them squeeze by the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night. The Hawks had dominated the entire game and looked strong, that is until the Bucks went on a 14-0 run. With 20 year-old Brandon Jennings 25 points leading the way. The Bucks have the edge in the series at 3-2 after the big-time win in Atlanta. The Hawks struggled from the field all night and Joe Johnson had only 13 points and 6th man of the year, Jamal Crawford finished just 4 of 18.

Back To It



















I'm back in action world, ready to give you the real sports talk I know you have been missing. By the way, have you checked out espn3.com? Wow, it is legit, you can stream live sports any time of the day. Pretty cool stuff.

Well the last 7 months have been pretty wild. I have been working as a personal assistant. Not just any body's assistant but Michael "Playmaker" Irvin's assistant. It was a 24-7 gig that involved simple things such as taking his clothes to and from the cleaners to negotiating with his agent and accountant. To not so easy things, like taking 3 am calls to change flights, making sure all flight and travel arrangements were set and pleasing Mr. Irvin 24-7.

To sum up the job, I was the middle man for everyone trying to get at Michael. I grew up so much in the last 7 months, it was really an unbelievable experience. I cannot tell you how much I learned and not just from a television and radio aspect. Although it was amazing to learn from one of the best in the business. Where I learned the most would have to be from just an overall "world aspect" if you will. I had to learn to manage time, money, children, etc. I learned to work with people from all walks of life on the daily. I learned to relate to people in a way that would put me in a position to be liked and also respected.

Not many people have an opportunity like I did. I was able to travel to LA for the finale of Dancing With The Stars, I broke down film at NFL Network studios in Burbank,California, I was sidelines at the Pro Bowl. The list goes on and on. The number one thing I learned while working for Michael is that you have to take every day and use it as if it where your last. That's how Michael approaches every day. The man really doesn't sleep, he gets up at 5 am and takes his boys to the gym to get them a workout before school, then when they go to school he goes back to the gym for more. While at the gym, Michael starts making calls and lining up the day. Most people are still asleep or just getting the coffee going while Michael is studying film and notes to get him ready for the next step.

There is always something to be done and there is always a way that you can get better than the next guy. I am so grateful that I had a chance to see first hand how a beaming personality gets through life. I feel like I have what it takes to be this kind of personality, I mean I already have the personality..I just have to find a way to get my foot in the door. I honestly believe it is only a matter of time now before I am on television and entertaining viewers. I am ready for the next level and I will hustle everyday to get to that point and will not stop when I get there.

I will be updated my blog again and will keep you posted on the shake downs around the sports world. Giving you my unique perspective on all sports news. NFL draft is on the horizon and will be the first time that it is on prime time. It will be very interesting to see how it shakes out. I will also bring you my mock draft. Looking forward to catching up-

Chad "Houdini" Cinco


Mr. Ochocinco had it planned all along. The Milwaukee Journal did a little dirty work and found out that Chad Ochocinco, wide receiver of the Cincinnati Bengals. Used his twitter account to plan out his "lambeau leap" after his touchdown in Sunday's win over the Packers. Ochocinco found 2 brothers and a friend of theirs to help with a conjured effort to help him make it happen.

Ochocinco had four front-row tickets in the north end zone sent to Mike Bergs' house, the Milwaukee Journal reported. When Ochocinco actually scored and scored in the north end zone, it was not hard to spot Bergs and company in all orange and Bengals gear in a sea of green. "His face. I wish I could have been shooting a camera at him. The smile on his face was from ear to ear. He was so excited." Mike Bergs said according to the Journal Sentinel. Now that is entertainment at it's best! You gotta love this guy.
