But I'm happy actually quite happy thanks

25 jersey.All kidding aside, it's good to see Reggie Bush back on the field and making an important contribution.With Mike Bell out of the lineup, Bush was called on to fill in and he did so admirably. Besides, with so much firepower on offense Peyton would be wise to make sure he's hitting on every cylinder before gearing up for the play-offs.Which is why I can't fault him for going for the fake field goal on Sunday against the Falcons.Initially I cringed, recalling the reverse that Payton ran in the Superdome against the Tampa Bay Bucs in December 2007.On that play, Bush and Devery Henderson botched a handoff that Tampa Bay recovered to set up a game-winning Luke McCown touchdown pass.Another NFC South backup quarterback, another opportunity for an inexcusable upset.Reminding myself that the Saints are undefeated and the Falcons suck, I didn't wait long for Vilma and Payton to reward my faith.Apparently for Payton, it came down to a matter of faith also.In the post-game press conference, Payton said he knew his defense could bail him out if it came down to it. Ever the aggressor, you know Payton's going to dial up some pretty exotic plays.But needing to and wanting to is the difference between his coaching now compared to the past two years.Sure it's easier to take risks when you have breathing room, which the Saints have plenty of.But Payton's aggressiveness this year is more a reflection of a defense that lends itself to the tendencies of its head coach.Those tendencies have taken the Saints this far, so why fix it if it isn't brokenWith some injuries mounting and a Minnesota team that will challenge the Saints for seeding until the very end of the season, expect Payton to keep his foot on the gas the rest of the way. . Chris Jericho.Remember the days when I referred to him as the "Overrated and under-talented" Chris JerichoI do, but Jericho simply wouldn't go down without a fight.It was like there was something within him that refused to allow me to hate him.No longer do I "hate" or even dislike Chris Jericho.Welcome aboard to my pillar of favorites.Of course we all know who stands atop, but I shall not mention his name.Randy Orton.Dammit!I promised myself, just one article without him.In any event, lets get back to the man who is the best in the world at what he does.The first time I heard that, I thought to myself, he's the best in the world at being mediocre main-eventer living in his own shadow that never stood tall to begin with.It's no secret, I see Jericho not for the legend that many feel him to be.But that's okay, you can't make everyone happy.But I'm happy; actually quite happy thanks...to Chris Jericho.He's grown on me over the past year.Not in height of course but rather, has grown tall enough to climb his way to the bottom of my pillar of favorites.And he's ascending.But how could someone who has despised Jericho so much suddenly have a change of heartWhen Mr. Jericho returned in late 2007, he made me sick.It took me all of about 30 seconds to realize that he lacked the serious aptitude necessary to strip the WWE's evil champion of his well-deserved championship gold.Dressing like a fool, delivering joke after joke of laugh-less humor.It was horrible, simply horrible.To see him kiss the fan's aes left and right, it simply lacked credibility from the get-go.But think about this for a moment, I criticized the Chris Jericho for "kissing the fan's aes" and delivering "laugh-less humor."My god, what happenedI think Chris Jericho got my memo.With time, gone were the days of sucking up and gone were the days of stale-humor.With time, Chris Jericho abandoned his sad little masquerade and became one of the most hated men in sports entertainment.With time, Chris Jericho became one of the funniest men in WWE history.To me anyway.I simply adore how he demeans the fans.The same fans who are so wise as to cheer and embrace him while in Canada, only to boo him when they hear him talking sht about them backstage.He's a heel, people, what do you expectThe people have earned the right to be called "parasitic tapeworms" (with the exception of you guys of course).Nothing was better than seeing Jericho talk down to Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.In response to Snuka's inclusion into the 2008 Royal Rumble, Jericho asked "How dare you"He made reference to how Snuka's greed cost another Superstar the chance to compete in a match that Snuka had no chance of winning.Chris Jericho won me over with words.He has a gift unlike anything I've ever seen in sports entertainment.While I might beg to differ regarding who stands atop the WWE's bad-guy totem-pole, there can be no denying the Chris Jericho belongs in a league all by himself.He certainly is...the absolute best in the world at what he does..

Preface: Cliff Lee was undeniably awesome in most of his starts for the Phillies in 2009. Unfortunately, the Phillies are not owned by Comcast Spectacor and do not have an endless revenue stream. Phillies fans must also realize that Ruben Amaro, Jr. would like to keep his job past 2010. So, while the fans would like to sell out for 2010, RAJ must maintain the health of the franchise while still improving the current model. He has done that this week, if all reports are indeed true. Let's get some housecleaning out of the way first. Roy Halladay is the best RH Starter in the game right now. He is better than Cliff Lee. Sort of like saying that $100 is more than $99, I know, but still better. He is also, according to all reports, giving the Phillies a discount in years and dollars for the chance to join the two-time defending NL Champs. While Cliff Lee won the 2008 AL Cy Young and was amazing in his first five starts with Philly and his first four postseason starts, he was rather pedestrian in six of his other seven starts for the Phils. That inconsistency is not found in Roy Halladay. Lee also does not have nearly the body of work that Halladay has, and is only about a year younger. With all that said, of course it would have been fantastic to have Roy Halladay on the bump followed by Cliff Lee. But it was never going to happen because RAJ needed to insure the long-term health of the team. Most reports, though being spun a bit now by Lee's agents, stated that Lee wanted to cash in on what would likely be his last big money deal. Well, with Halladay in the mix, the Phillies would not be able to afford $30 million a year going to two players. So Lee would have left as a Free Agent.So if you're in the camp that says that the Phils should have gone over budget this year for the sole purpose of going all-in for 2010 and then recouping two draft picks after Lee leaves, you're forgetting a big "if." Say Lee leaves for the riches of the Yankees. And then the Yankees also sign another tier one FA. Guess what The Phillies only get one draft pick now. Considering the BoSox would likely be in on Lee as well, thatscenario is quite likely. You think Milwaukee would have traded for Sabathia knowing not only that he would sign with NY, but that AJ Burnett would sign there, too; thus costing them one of their compensatory picks As for the prospects thatPhiladelphia is sending off, to the best of my knowledge, no "prospect" has ever won a World Series. Kyle Drabek and Micheal Taylor have their faults and their merits, but just bear in mind that few big time pitching prospects ever pan out. The Phillies have also kept the prospect they consider mostimportant in Domonic Brown. They also, according to reports, have managed to keep JA Happ. So the Phillies have basically traded Jason Donald, Carlos Carrassco, Lou Marson, Jason Knapp, Kyle Drabek, Travis d'Arnaud and Michael Taylor for Roy Halladay, Ben Francisco, Phillipe Aumont, Travis Gilles and $6 million of Toronto's money. Four guys who probably never make the big club, one guy ranked organizationally lower than the guy the Phils kept, the fourth ranked C in the system and the No. 1 pitching prospect for the best right-hander in the game, a competent fourth OF and a pitching prospect with as much upside as Drabek. Not too shabby. And they keep Domonic Brown if Werth leaves after 2010. Gilles has potential to take over in CF should Shane Victorino price himself out of town.Remember that Toronto had asked for Drabek, Taylor, Brown and Happ in July. RAJ did a masterful job getting this done.. PEMBROKE, BERMUDA, Jan 07 (MARKET WIRE) IPC Holdings, Ltd.
