Mariota does Heisman pose as he and Ducks leap to victory

This was a signature win for the Ducks and Mariota, with Alabama struggling in the Iron Bowl it seems with Oregon's dominance of in state rivals they will receive the #1 spot in the CFP rankings. Florida State is still undefeated but the strength of schedule seems to leave them stuck at 3rd unless they lose, most likely Alabama will drop to second and Oregon will jump to first. Mariota looks to be a lock for getting the Heisman in New York, he seems to break records every week, at this point he holds the PAC12 record for total career touchdowns at 126, as well as the single season total touchdowns at 48 this season, also the conference records for freshman passing touchdowns at 32, and passes attempted without an interception at 353. Ducks have a challenging rematch against Arizona who gave them their only loss of the season earlier in the year, they will play at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara California on Friday at six pm pacific time. For those of you interested in watching it it will air on Fox. Winning the game would ensure the Ducks a spot in the four team playoff, and it is almost perfect that the only team that seems to know how to beat the Ducks in recent years will be their opponent the first time the PAC12 Championship will be played at a neutral site. In case you needed to hear it from a Panda, Quack Muthafuckin' Quack!!!

Ducks will replay Arizona

Though tonights game does not matter for the PAC12 Championship game which will feature Oregon against Arizona at Levi Stadium, it still has an element that could trash the duck's season. The civil war is no joke, especially since it will be played in Corvallis this year, these teams tend to tear each other apart every year and with Oregon State having no shot at anything other than embarrassing their rivals, well I suppose they could get a random bowl game, but that is nothing in comparison to the stress of the Oregon Ducks chances of getting close to that National Championship game. All we really can expect is a great game, and the passion that seems to really exist in College Sports, and in case you didn't know Quack Motherfucking Quack!!!

Steph Curry makes NBA history at American Airlines Arena

Yes the Heat were up early, but then a young man by the name of Stephan Curry decided to start making some history, he now in his career has 51 games with 5 assists and 5 three pointers, he passed Ray Allen on tuesday night for the most all time in NBA history, it seems that he will not stop building this record throughout his career. Steph Curry shot 63.2% from the floor, he hit 8-11 behind the arc, and basically dominated the game, they won 114-97, that is mostly due to Curry's 40 points, but it would not be possible without how well Golden State plays as a team, great ball movement made it easier for Curry to get red hot. Along with great defense, they only allowed 11 points in the fourth quarter, this team only has two losses and is continuing their best start in franchise history, the tides have turned on star driven b-ball though that is hard to say with Curry scoring 40 points, but it is because the Warriors play a very team oriented type of basketball. Things are swaying in the NBA away from the isolation game that has seemed to slow down this wonderful sport, and this is a good thing, stars will become better and more entertaining due to the evolution of the game. One thing that can be said in closing is that Steph Curry seems to have shrugged off his mini shooting slump, and that this Warriors team is prepared to deal with just about any team in NBA right now.

Why are some NBA players so greedy?

Is this seriously a question, sure Kobe is probably not worth his contract this year, but the fact that talented NBA players with their careers starting to wane have to take a pay cut in order for their team to be competitive is complete and utter bullshit. I get it, we as NBA fans don't make much money so it's hard to take the side of a player that makes millions a year, but let me break down what the salary cap does to a sport that could be incredible, and I mean ridiculous in comparison to what we see now.
It makes players who want a ring have to sacrifice a good amount of money in sometimes incredibly short careers just because of that bottom line that these "poor owners" are making. Seriously why would someone who is obviously not stupid when it comes to business spend 2 billion dollars on the LA Clippers, okay for those of you who can't follow, I believe that means that owning an NBA team is very profitable. These are billionaires we are feeling bad for due to media storms that they finance, just because millions of dollars seem like so much to us does not mean that it becomes more than the ridiculous profits these uber rich are making when they win against the NBPA, we have to remember that the players are the reason we watch basketball not the asshole owners. These are employee rights fights even if it's at a level of wealth we can not completely grasp, we should as fans always be on the players side, otherwise it won't be a game worth watching. I know that is why LeBron has a contract he can opt out of at the end of this season, and why any player who is thinking about his future is thinking about his contract because there is only so long his talents can write him these checks. So if you like basketball, keep your voice loud for your team, but also for the players on that team, otherwise this league will not have the heart and soul that makes us watch like it's life or death. Love your team, but know what that entails.

Blazers on a 8 game winning streak

The Portland Trailblazers are acting like the team I expected to see last season, better late than never I suppose, though on a positive note they are producing offense at a high level, they've crushed teams like the Cav's, the Thunder, and the Bulls. All teams that were expected to be huge factors in the NBA this season, though the Blazers do have problems with the stronger teams in the West, the Clippers and Warriors gave them some trouble, though both games ended fairly close. The shocker is how they were dismantled by the Kings, yes that obscure team from Sacramento that is barely in existence, sure they've had a good year so far though still they are the Kings. So why are the Blazers winning, well for one they are 1st in the league in rebounding, they are fifth in assists, seventh in points allowed, and sixth in points per game. Basically they have done what alot of teams have adopted, playing this crazy thing called team basketball, and I know it's not different then how they played last season, the difference is they are hitting those open shots and they are finishing games, also they are playing better defense in this season. In my opinion it is an overall team maturity that I believe starts with Damian Lillard really coming into his own Lillardness if you will, and the idea sparking in the entire team of the importance of defense. They have some tough opponents coming up, Memphis on Friday, San Antonio twice in December, and Toronto at the end of December, it is still early in the season and a multitude of teams on their schedule could have made improvements by the time they are scheduled to play. This is a great start of the 2014 season for a team that seems to be coming into their own as a squad on both sides of the ball, though April is a long way away and there are quite a number of games to be played. The Blazers as a team can only look at the picture one game at a time, and if they do that well they will be successful this season, and could go quite deep into the playoffs.

Flowers records 300th win

I know I am not known for my hockey posts but tonight a great goalkeeper recorded his 300th win for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL. Andre Fleury who has been sensational throughout his career, continues to be a great asset to this incredible franchise, with heart, courage, and an urge to fight. This win against the Bruins seems like poetic justice delivered by the sports God's,  with my Giants losing the Panda to a Boston team at least another black and white animal of my preference can get a bit of revenge for this saddened panda who considered Pablo as a sort of honorary Panda uncle.  So yes bostonians I am hurt, but at least my team's can bite back!

Panda gets $100 million 5 year deal with Red Sox

This page from it's conception has given you Panda updates, and no matter how much it pains me to do so I will report on this one as well. Pablo Sandoval reportedly will receive $100 million in 5 years from the Boston Red Sox after passing the upcoming physical, though Bostonian camp has not reported on it due to apparent bean town weirdness, the report is all over baseball news and if it is not true I may be a new hire at some wonderful sports giant such as ESPN or Vice Sports. So anyways it is a sad day for San Francisco who did actually offer him a fair contract but I believe the AL is what attracted the Panda to the bitter cold of New England, the fact that if he ate too much bamboo to hang out at third he could always become a DH in the waning years of his career. Sure Boston doesn't have much to offer when it comes to weather, bitter cold and snow in the winter, along with the wonderfully humid summers and a short window of a few weeks that make up fall and spring. But it's completely superior to the unchanging almost constant weather in San Francisco, why would you ever want to live somewhere where it is 63° F in late November in the evening, why that sounds like hell.
So now the poor suckers in the bay have to find a new third baseman, though they will be able to replace the third base position they will never be able to replace the panda, so to Pablo good luck, and we thank you for all your years with the Giants!
