Either team winning will make a good story, though I’m inclined to pull slightly harder for the Saints, knowing that they have never won one before. White grew up in Mesa, Arizona, and is the first native Arizonan to be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.From 1971-73, Danny White quarterbacked Arizona State to a 32-4 record that included three championships in the Western Athletic Conference and three victories in the Fiesta Bowl over Florida State 45-38, Missouri 49-35, and Pittsburgh 28-7. Then in 2009 he threw 209 innings en route to a big season and an even bigger contract.Do I trust a pitcher recovering from major elbow surgery who threw a ton more innings than he ever has and who just got a big, long-term deal? No.Bold Prediction: Josh Johnson finishes the season 12-10 with a 4.10 ERA.Projected Finish: Third NL EastFlorida scored at a good rate last season and should do that once again Their season hinges on Johnson’s elbow.  With Tracy McGrady’s expiring corpse, they have amajor trading piece to possibly acquire more talent (right now reportshave them leaning towards Andre Iguodala in Philly or Caron Butler inDC). They might make the playoffs this season and if they did, they’dbe a tough out for whoever they play (and the likelihood is, the teamthat eliminates them will be worse for wear in the next round), but theymight be better off missing the playoffs this season. If they couldacquire a bit more talent at the trade deadline, pick up a blue chipperin the draft (maybe even get a bit of luck), and have a returning YaoMing (despite the length of time he’s missed, if he fully heals, theinjury shouldn’t have that big of an impact on his future), they’ll bein good shape for the next few seasons.Another team that has missed their best player for long stretches ofthe season is the New Orleans Hornets. Chris Paul is one of the fivebest players in the league and carries a gigantic role on the Hornets. When he’s been hurt in the past, they’ve been up the creek with muchmore than a boat. This season with Darren Collison filling in for him,they’re in a better position but they still don’t look like a playoffteam. With Paul back from his sprained ankle they were 18-10 and poisedto make a run to the playoff, but with him gone they might be able tokeep themselves around .500, but that won’t make them a playoff team. Most likely by the time Paul comes back, they won’t have enough momentumto make a playoff run.All is not lost for the Hornets though, despite what you may haveheard. Like the Rockets, missing the playoffs might be the best thingto happen to them in the long run. They finally found a solid back-uppoint guard for Paul in last year’s draft and Marcus Thornton has provento be a steal from the second round. This coming draft in particularseems to be loaded with quality big men.

A loss to Bisping would really leave Silva looking at someone like the winner of Yushin Okami vs Lucio Linhares at UFN 21 or Yoshihiro Akiyama.A win for Wanderlei against Bisping should set up a fight with the winner of the UFC 113 fight between the returning Patrick Cote and rising Alan Belcher. Twins once again.The De Boer brothers are synonymous with Dutch football.Both brothers are now retired but during the ’90s played for some of the best teams in Europe while also representing Holland at World Cups and European Championships.The 1994-1995 final will stay long in the minds of the De Boers as they were part of the young Ajax team that surprised Europe by beating AC Milan to be crowned European Champions.FUN FACT: Both brothers played for Ajax, Barcelona and Rangers during their careers while also ending their time as professional footballers in Qatar..
The Vikings have an adequate secondary playing its heart out. Fabio Capello finally comes face-to-face with John Terry today, for the first time since the world came crashing down around the Chelsea and England captain six days ago.The meeting between the pair has the potential to make or break England?s World Cup preparation and campaign, and whatever Capello decides will have huge ramifications.If the Italian decides that Terry?s misdemeanours are a step too far for a player who has never been too far from controversy and strips him of the captaincy, they?re will still be a backlash even though this decision would probably be the more popular amongst England fans.Firstly, if the situation is indeed bad enough to strip the Chelsea man of the armband, then logically Capello can?t put him on the plane to South Africa.
