Just a quick pick of the NFL playoffs this week..
Denver over Baltimore - In my opinion Baltimores defense is not what it once was and Flacco can't hang with Peyton in a shootout.
Niners over Greenbay - Greenbay is red hot, no doubting that and they were my SuperBowl pick at the begining of the season. The Niners match up well against Greenbay, they run well control the tempo and have a solid defense with Justin Smith returning
Seahawks over Atlanta - Sorry Atlanta I am not sold on you.. You can't run and have a iffy defense, while Seahawks can cover all aspects of the game.. Solid QB, strong ground game and strong defense.
New England over Houston - This game will be a blowout just like a couple weeks ago. Houston has nothing new to offer the Patriots.

The Elusive Hall Of Fame
This post will be pretty short since I'm not a stats guy, but I know enough to say Bonds, Clemens and Piazza should be in the hall of fame. Bonds and Clemens didn't make it mainly because of their ties to steroids. While Piazza was denied on the suspicion of steroids or performance enhancing drugs.
To me the baseball hall of fame is a museum representing the history of the game, both good and bad. Some of baseball's most beloved players have known to use drugs, abuse women and be racist, so why would we deny these guys for using performance enhancing drugs?
These players belong in the hall and are part of the games history, not to mention they were the reason baseball was riding all time high ratings. At the time when MLB was looking the other way and promoting the monster home runs some of these players were hitting. Let these players in the hall and give them their own wing, let the general public decide if they want to honor these players or not. It's time to take sports writers out of the equation and start letting the stats speak. Right or wrong these players are in the history of the game.
