WHITE & RED



A season that has had so many high points and low points just landed on Cloud 9 for now. St. Johns with the huge upset over #3 Duke Blue Devils today at MSG has got to be the story of the year to say the least and all the credit in the world has to be given to Coach Steve Lavin for what he has done with this group of players.

"Miracle at Madison" is what I phrased it before the game began but the way The Johnnies played it didn't look like a miracle. It looked like they damn well deserved it.

"Even if we showed up and competed, we may not have won." is what Coach K had to say about the Johnnies after the game.

Justin Burrell said about the win over Duke, "It's a great win but it's only one." And rightfully said. SJU faces Rutgers, UCLA and UConn in there next three match ups and from what we witnessed tonight, there should be no reason they can't sweep.

Special thanks to @JonRothstein for quotes provided.

here is an expert:

- When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwyane Wade never came over to talk to him. "Them niggas never speak to a nigga," he says. "They don't chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigga spent all that money on them fucking tickets ... Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass niggas. At least come ask me why I'm not rooting for you."

GREEN & WHITE - JETS FLYING HIGH




There are two teams that are only deserving of being talked about this post season. The Green Bay Packers and The New York Jets.

The Packers defeated Mike Vick and The Eagles, then went on to dismantle the Atlanta Falcons and now look like favorites to make it all the way to the Super Bowl.

The New Jets took down Peyton Manning and the Colts then took out Tom Brady and the Patriots and are one win away from reaching the Super Bowl, just like last year.

As a New Yorker I am proud of the Jets. Lot of people will say "they need to stop talking...They are unprofessional...They are too cocky." and most of these people are fans of teams that didn't make the playoffs or teams that got beat by the Jets in the playoffs. What people need to understand is that you can the Jets need to stop this and that but they WON'T. So please, keep your childish cries in a tissue or sleeve cause this isn't flag football.

And this man right here, Bart Scott, means business each and everyday. Take a listen.

I tweeted earlier this morning that Blake Griffin had the death stare down after each dunk. Last night him and Mario Chalmers of the Miami Heat got into a little altercation and both are T'd up. Less then 13 seconds later, Baron Davis drives to the hoop and dishes it off to Griffin who throws it down. The best part is what he does after. He has stone cold face.

Melo To NJ?



The Nets have been the front runners this whole time just unable to put a package together that Denver would feel good enough with. Well after this past Friday and even more last night, it seems Denver has found what it's looking for and Carmelo is on his way to New Jersey along with other valuable assets. Here's what the proposed deal look likes.

Nets get: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Sheldon Williams, Anthony Carter & Terrico White.

Denver get: 2 first round picks, Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, & Anthony Morrow

Detroit get: Troy Murphy & Johan Petro.

Denver now wants NJ to take Al Harrington as well but the Nets right now are reluctant to do so. Hey NJ, if you don't Denver will pull the plug and you'll be at square one. Losing with no fan base.

The Nets need to take his contract and look to pair it with other players before the deadline and make a deal. NJ can't let this deal get away from them. Anthony has said he wanted Rip to join him in NJ and having Billups not only adds chemistry for Anthony but Rip as well since they were teammates back in the Piston days.

For the Nets this is the perfect scenario. You get to keep 3 or 4 first round picks and you get Melo and look to add other All-Stars. All reports are that Chris Paul, currently with the Hornets, would play where ever Anthony went.

The Nets have to play smart here. Take whatever you have to take and make due with it. In the long run, when they move to Brooklyn, they will have a nice team that could feature Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and maybe even, Dwight Howard.

The deal could be done in the next 48 hours sources say. Follow me on twitter @TimmyD_WSJU for all the latest news

Oh & go Cam Newton!

What's Good?
In my interpretation of how influencers become who they are is solely by becoming yourself and allowing the world to Appreciate you one person at a time. Influencing people should never be an intention but as a accidental occurrence of letting you inward grace shine out to the world. Cheating the form of influencing people can always lead to your destruction. In today's time where people desperately search to find themselves end up going to all the places in New York that seems trendy and end up losing themselves. PLEASE watch this short film where some young intellectual men express on film what INFLUENCEis.

GARDEN MAGIC



Can you say New York City Basketball is back and once again the Mecca of it all? I and millions of New Yorkers will agree to it!

A night after The St. Johns Red Storm defeated the number 13 team IN THE NATION The New York Knicks defeated the BEST team in basketball, The San Antonio Spurs.

The Johnnies are 10-3 overall and 3-0 in the Big East and have won the Great Alaskan Shootout as well as the Holiday Festival. If they can go down to The Purcell Pavilion and defeat the #15 team in the nation, Notre Dame, they should be a ranked team by the time the polls come out on Monday. IN LAVIN, WE TRUST.

The Knicks are 20-14 on the season and have defeated a lot of superb teams including Oklahoma City, Chicago, New Orleans and now San Antonio and fought strong in their games against Miami, Boston and Orlando. They sit number 6 in the East but with continued play could move up and be number 5 or 4 by the end of the season especially if they add Carmelo Anthony. Truthfully though, why would the Knicks want to break up the good thing they have going?

All I know is New Yorkers have a lot to be happy about especially since this is a basketball first city.

NFL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS




On "Black Monday" we find out who every one will play in the playoffs and which coaches will be fired. So far Eric Mangini of the Cleveland Browns has been fired and next up, with all likely hood, will be Marvin Lewis of the Cincinnati Bengals. But lets get to playoff predictions!

Wild Card Round:

(6) New York Jets vs (3) Indianapolis Colts

The Colts won their final four games of the season to win the division and head into the playoffs. Peyton Manning hasn't been the quarterback that we have all come to admire and defenses have come to fear. After a three game stretch where Manning threw 11 interceptions, Peyton was able to find his self and lead the team once again to the 3rd seed in the division.

The Jets season, in one word or less, headache. After losing the first game at home vs the Ravens 10-9, you could hear fans starting the "Oh no" train. Gang Green wouldn't let that game hurt them as they ripped off 5 straight wins, one against the Patriots, before losing 9-0 vs the Packers. Fans could be heard again, "Oh no". Again, NY went on to win four straight (three in game winning fashion) but then were slaughtered by New England. They would follow that up finishing the season 2-2 in their last four games and becoming the 6th seed.

Match up: The Jets faced The Colts twice last year. NY won in the regular season while Indy won when it mattered, in the playoffs and in the AFC Championship game. The Jets D will have to be very rough with Peyton and Coach Rex Ryan will have to make all the proper calls if they are to win this game. It is a win able. Peyton and his troops have to do it the way they have always done it, on the arm of Peyton. Stay away from Revis and target Antonio Cromartie and the rest of the Jets secondary that has been a question mark all season.

Winner: Being able to rest most of their starters including their running backs I'm giving the Jets the edge. The Colts isn't the same team and Peyton is being relied on too much. NY wins 27-21.

(4) Seattle Seahawks vs (5) New Orleans Saints

If you told me a 7-9 team would win their division and host a home playoff game this year, I'd call you crazy. Right now though, that's whats happening. The Seahawks, after defeating the St. Louis Rams last night, have won the NFC West division and will be playing the Saints. Only advantage they have is home field, which in some cases can be all you need.

Super Bowl Champs one year, wild card the next? My how things change so quickly right New Orleans? Not to make it sound all too bad, the Saints did win 11 games this season and just by the luck of the draw and the fact the Atlanta Falcons won 13 games, NO has to take the wild card spot. Again, 11 wins vs a 7 win team shouldn't be a biggie.

Match up: Saints have the weapons on offense to blow out every team. With Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas finally healthy in the backfield, Drew Brees has more weapons at his disposal. Seahawks have had a sub-par season. 7 wins but a feel good story with Mike Williams making a strong comeback in his first year back in the league. To bad it won't be enough.

Winner: Saints 37 - 14.

(4) Kansas City Chiefs vs (5) Baltimore Ravens

KC has had a terrific season. From being a top 5 draft team last year to winning their division this year (10-6) you have to say they did a great job. Matt Cassel finally showed up and Dwayne Bowe looked like the receiver they thought they would get when he was drafted. Jamaal Charles ran for close to 1,500 yards and the defense played very solid football. The Chiefs are a solid team.

The Ravens have had a strong season as well. Missing Ed Reed for the first six games of the season was definitely a blow but they were able to hang strong with Ray Lewis leading the defense and Joe Flacco leading the offense. Anquan Boldin really did come out and be that number one receiver but played a solid role.

Match up: The Chiefs are 7-1 at home while the Ravens are 5-3 on the road. A very good game in the making and as they say, football comes down to three or four plays. If you can execute them better then your opponent you win if not and they do, you lose.

Winner: As much as I love KC to win I have to go with the Ravens 24-20.

(6) Green Bay Packers vs (3) Philadelphia Eagles

Green Bay hasn't had the season a lot expected them to have. Had to win get in on the last day of the season in a division thought to be their by many people. Injuries definitely plagued them but they were able to overcome and reach the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers has to be one of the best quarterbacks in the game right now. After spending all those seasons on the bench behind Brett "Drama" Favre, Rodgers has shown he was the best fit for this team after the Favre Era was over. The only problem I see is the run game that really doesn't exist.

The Eagles started the season off with Kevin Kolb and ended it with Kevin Kolb. Guess they made the right choice in letting Michael Vick play all the games between to make sure they got a playoff spot. The resurgence of Vick has to be the best of the year. Vick has had a terrific season for Philly and is giving them the chance to win with his quick feet and, get this, strong arm. Philly's D has been the only problem. Injuries have been a problem as well as when Kolb is on the field as QB.

Match up: Defenses have figured out the only way to beat Vick is to literally BEAT Vick. Lot more blitzes and rushes have helped D's contain Vick and The Packers "Psycho" defense will cause a lot of disruption for Vick and the offense.

Winner: I'm taking the Eagles 30-24. Vick has proven that no matter what you send at him he will figure away to beat it. The lack of run game by the Packers will hurt them because Philly can load the back field with corners and safeties to watch Rodgers.

This is your WILD CARD PREVIEW. Enjoy & Comment!
