Really Super Sunday

Some sports days are better then others and Sunday was one of them. United vs. Chelski, Eagles vs. Giants in the divisional round, and then North Carolina vs. Wake Forest. With all of the games it will be a three shirt day. Here is a time line of the days events:

9:19: Church is over pregame meal time.
9:59: Pregame meal finished. Ihop country fried stake skillet. Can not beat that.
10:30: Just finished skimming the Sunday papers, its only an half an hour till the day gets rolling.
11:00: A sign at the Theatre of Dreams: Viva John Terry. Surprised by Neville seeing the field today.
11:05: Really Ian Dowie, no Robbie Earle. This is not good at all.
11:21: Ashley Cole is a bitch. Very simple
11:32: This is starting to really kick off.
11:43: Chelski seem like they are starting to get going
11:50: We got our goal, Vidic and Really Super Saturday is off to a good start.
Noon: Half time got the bathrooms trip out of the way and got the drink. Ready for the second half of United/Chelski.
12:27: The Rooney with the goal. But Park has been our best player, his work rate is amazing.
12:35: Drogba blows another chance. What a shock.
12:45: I wonder what the Special One thinks of the Gene Hakman, Big Phil.
12:55: Berba, 3-0. Change shirt, change location. Good start to the Really Super Sunday.
1:20: Second round under way and Eagels get a good hold. My hands are shaking not a good sign.
1:30: Birds have the lead. This is going well. Almost too well.
1:45: So good. Wow you could not ask for a better start for the birds.
1:50: Now the giants fans at the place I'm at, are starting to get pissed, gotta love the tag of favorites.
2:06: Wow the birds could not play worst and still have the lead.
2:45: Wow they have been terrible and still have the lead. I can not believe that. What the hell.
3:20: I really should have taken up something different for a hobby. This way to stressful. Eagles have the lead back. This is nuts. Heart rate on verge of going off the chart.
3:50: Birds up two scores and feel nervous. This is not healthy.
4:10: Wow three weeks a going to the NFC Championship Game seemed like a pipe dream. Now its a reality.
5: For some reason I have no emotional involvement in the Chargers v. Steelers game and just saw a quick kick, what an amazing day.
6:20: Third shirt of the day, North Carolina, is on and ready to go. Let's hope the Heels do what United and the Eagles have already done. Win.
8:00: Carolina vs. Wake Forest in HD. This day is getting better and better.
8:22: Wow this Wake team is better then I thought. Saw them during one of the Thanksgiving time and they were ok never, not this good. Jeff Teague is a player.
8:54: The Heels finally got the lead. Have not played well but now have the lead.
9:20: The second half of the final game is underway. Let's go Heels.
9:34: Starting to show affects of the day but trying to hang in there till the end.
9:45: Wow is Jeff Teague is reminding me of the performance of Randolph Childress put in at ACC Tournament a bunch of years ago.
10:08: So the Heels are not going with the plan today. But two out of three ain't bad.

Wow what a day, lots of yelling at the TV and text messages on the Blackberry but in the end it has been well worth it with United showing that they are not going to give up their Barclay's Premier League title and the Birds going to the NFC title game. Wow.

Professional Tailgating: NFL Classic Jerseys

One of the best things about the start of the NFL season is seeing fans in their outdated and current NFL jerseys. On the first Sunday of the NFL season, the Only Time Will Tell Tailgating crew visited McIntyre's Pub in Toms River. Here is a look at some of the famous players that were around.

Derrick Brooks


Bryant Young


Charlie Joiner. Stay classy San Diego

This is not a jersey, but this guy shows his support for Vikings. I'm sure his wife is happy.


Nothing beat an Andy Harmon kelly green Eagles jersey with matching scarf

Gotta love the throw backs this time its Marshawn Lynch
Classic, Reggie White
What is that a Paul Posluszny jersey. I never thought that I would see something like that. I hope they doubled checked the spelling on the jersey when they were finished.
No one will ever forget Bo Jackson

Turning over a new Leaf

It might not have been Hillary vs. Obama, but a decade ago the great debate center on two people that were totally different: Payton Manning or Ryan Leaf. Manning was the quarterback with the great pedigree, while Leaf was the hot shot did from out west with the big time arm.

While watching both during their last season season in college, one thing came to mind, Manning is no better Rick Mirer. The arm was not good enough, the foot speed was terrible and he was just a product of the Manning name, much like Mirer was a product of the Notre Dame name. At the time I thought Leaf was the next coming Dan Marino, big arm, great competitive fire, and could find a way to get out of anything. So before the draft I told everyone that Leaf was going to Canton one day, he had that Wow factor.The Colts with the first pick took Manning and with the second pick the Chargers took Leaf and at the time I thought the Chargers had the better of the deal.
Boy was I wrong, five years after that debate, Leaf was out of the league, while Manning was leading the Colts to all kinds of wins.

Everyone hates to admit when they are wrong but you know what Joe Wolf's Vertical Jump was wrong that April day in 1998.
