New England Weather

                 The title of my blog says I write about sports, but sometimes I will decide to write about other topics.  Tonight is one of those times.  If you live in New England, you probably are aware of the predicted snowfall within the coming hours.  Being someone who has lived here all my life, snow in the forecast is always exciting to me.  Not just because it brings the possibility of school cancellations haha, but because I love watching storm coverage on the news.  Can't really explain it, I have just always been fascinated by the entertainment aspect.   Just the Irony of reporters telling everyone to stay inside due to the wild weather, while they are outside in the middle of it all just to get a good story; makes me laugh.  The best part about it is the back and forth between the in studio reporters jokingly taunting the their own coworkers who have been assigned to report from the elements.  It's funny how life can be so complex sometimes and yet it's the little things in life that can be the most enjoyable.

 This is just one example of it, there's funnier ones but I can't find them at the moment

Super Bowl XLVII thoughts and prediction

Kaepernick, Kaepernicking. 

                    It’s gotten tiring to listen to all the media coverage emphasizing this historic feat.   However I do think it will play a significant role on the field.   When I look at the two teams, they look almost symmetric.   The defenses are both tough physical run stoppers.  The Ravens have a slight dis advantage when it comes to secondary however.  Yes Ed Reed is arguably the best Free Safety of his era, if not all time; but he alone can’t do everything.  I think Michael Crabtree will be too physical for the secondary and will play a huge role for the 49ers. 
In less than an hour from now Super Bowl XLVII will be the first in which two brothers will be opposing coaches, but I’m sure you already knew that.

                I think the running backs will be shut down early, both front sevens will be too strong.    I’m predicting a shootout just because both teams and coaches are so similar that they shouldn’t be surprised at anything the opposing defense will throw at them.  I think Kaepernick will run early and that will open up the passing game.  I think late in the 4^th quarter it will be 38-35 Ravens.  Kaepernick will have to lead a comeback drive.  If he can handle the pressure I think he’ll win it with a last minute touchdown pass to Randy Moss. The score will be 42-38 49ers.  Kaepernick will be MVP
