The Brewers Now are a Top Team in the National League
Today the Brewers and Ryan Braun found out that he has won his appeal and will not be suspended for the first 50 games of the season. I expected Ryan Braun to win his appeal, and I felt that he was innocent all along. This makes the Brewers favorites to win the NL Central and a possible World Series contender. The Brewers will have all five starters returning from last year and they will still have a good offense as well, even without Prince Fielder. I think the Brewers will now have a more consistent offense than last year led by Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez. I think the Brewers will play more small ball and won't rely on home runs to win games. Brewers will be a fun team to watch, and I think they can and will challenge the Phillies for the top spot in the National League.

Super Bowl Pick
Giants at Patriots
I think this will be a good game and very similar to the last time the Giants played the Patriots in the Super Bowl. The Giants defense will need to continue to play well and get pressure on Tom Brady. I think the defense will be the key for both teams in the Super Bowl because each team's defenses have struggled at times throughout the playoffs and regular season. The Patriots will need Rob Gronkowski to play well and make some plays for the Patriots offense to do well. The Giants will need to be able to run the ball well to take the pressure of Eli Manning. This game will be close, and I think it will come down to who ever plays better defense and has the ball at the end of the game. I think the score of this game will be 21-17 with the Giants winning the Super Bowl, and Eli Manning winning the Super Bowl MVP award.

Life Without Andrew Bogut
Earlier this week the Milwaukee Bucks lost big man Andrew Bogut with another injury. Andrew Bogut hasn't played a full season since his rookie year in his career due to multiple injuries, and he has averaged just 66 games per season coming into this year. Andrew Bogut is an average center in the NBA and he hasn't lived up to the number one overall pick. Andrew Bogut isn't worth his average salary of $12.1 million a year for a guy who has put up average stats (12.7 points per game, 9.4 rebounds per game, and 1.6 blocks per game) throughout his career and plays in an average of 66 games per season. I think the Bucks need to move on from Andrew Bogut, and find someone who is a better center and CAN STAY HEALTHY! The Bucks shouldn't go out and trade for another center to try to replace Bogut this year because the Bucks aren't going to make the playoffs and if they do, they won't make it out of the first round. The Bucks can be a good team without Bogut. Drew Gooden can do a adequate job filling in for Bogut for the rest of the season. I think the Bucks need to part ways with Bogut and find a center who will help this team win in the future along with staying healthy. He might be a great guy, but you can't get the job done if you are always on IR.

NFL Playoff Picks
Ravens at Patriots
I think this will be a great game between two great teams. The Patriots offense will be hard to stop but the Ravens defense is one of the best in the NFL, and should be able to slow down the Patriots' two tight ends. The Ravens do have a great run game, but I think the Patriots will be able to slow down Ray Rice. I think the Patriots do have the advantage because they are at home. This game will come down to the end, but I think the Ravens will win because I think they are the better team and the most complete team in the AFC.
Giants at 49ers
This game is also going to be a very good game. The Giants are on a roll after beating the defending Super Bowl champions, and the 49ers on motivated to win in front of their fans. I think the Giants offense will do well, but the 49ers great defense should be able to slow down the Giants. The 49ers should also be able to get a lot of pressure on Eli Manning with their great pass rushers. I think the key of this game will be Frank Gore and his ability to run the ball. If the 49ers can run the ball effectivley they should be able to win. I think the 49ers will win the game because of their great defense and run game.

How the Brewers Spend Their Money
I was checking the Brewers player salaries for 2012, and do you know who the second highest paid Brewer is? It is Rickie Weeks, who is scheduled to get paid $11 million this year, with Randy Wolf and Corey Hart almost getting paid $10 million each. So tell Doug Melvin that we do have money to spend on Prince Fielder if we can pay three average players about $30 million this season.

NFL Playoff Picks
Texans at Ravens
I think this game will not be very close at all. The Texans won't be able to run the ball like they have been this year against the Ravens strong defense, and TJ Yates will make a lot of mistakes throwing the football. The Ravens will be able to run the ball well with Ray Rice, and Joe Flacco will continue to play great in the playoffs. I think the Ravens are the most complete team and the best team in the AFC. That is why I think the Ravens will win in easy fashion.
Giants at Packers
This game will be close like the last time these two teams played each other in the playoffs and in the regular season. I think the Giants will come out motivated and the Giants stellar defensive line will play great against the Packers weak offensive line. The Giants should also do pretty well on offense against the Packers, who have one of the leagues worst defenses. I think Aaron Rodgers will come out a little slow because he hasn't played in three weeks, but after a few plays he should be back to playing at his MVP level like he has all year. The Packers offensive line will need to protect Aaron Rodgers against the Giants defensive line, which I think is the best in the NFL. The Packers receivers will also have to make plays and not drop any passes in order to win. I think this game will be close and exciting, and the Packers will pull out the victory at home to move on to the next round.

NFL Playoff Picks
Saints at 49ers
I think this game will be a good game between to good teams. The Saints passing game will do pretty well against the 49ers defense. But the 49ers will not allow the Saints to run the ball at all, and they will make plays when they need to against the Saints passing game. The 49ers, with Frank Gore will be able to run all over the Saints defense, and they will have a decent day from Alex Smith passing the ball. The 49ers have a better defense and run game. With the 49ers playing at home and their ability to slow down offenses, I think the 49ers will win.
Broncos at Patriots
I think this game will be a lot better than their previous meeting against each other in the regular season. The Broncos have the momentum coming into this game with a win last week against the Steelers. The Patriots do have a better offense, but there defense is one of the worst in the NFL. I think the Broncos will be able to run the ball effectively and throw the ball well when they need to. The Patriots will not be able to run the ball well, but they will have a good day passing the ball. I think the Broncos ability to run the ball, and their ability to slow down good offenses, will be the difference in the game. That is why I think the Broncos will win in this close game.
