Mid week rant

The Super Bowl is the most over-hyped event of the year. There is no major news that comes out of Super Bowl week and the game does not live up to the hype, most of the time. I think the Pats will win on Sunday in a blow out. My prediction (sure to be wrong) is for a close game till the end and the Pats win 34-31.

Some sad news to report, the son of long-time Boston sports reporter Bob Ryan, Keith has died in Pakistan. Keith was a immigration and customs enforcement attaché from the Department of Homeland Security. After a year in Pakistan he was due to return to the U.S., but was found dead in the bathroom in his home. The Interior Minister said, “We expect it is suicide, but we are investigating.” Keith was 37 years old. My heart goes out to the Ryan family.

The UCONN Huskies men won two big games against ranked opponents this week at Indiana and home against Louisville. They won dispute two key players, Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins, who were suspended for breaking team rules. These two wins may get them into the NCAA tournament. Lets keep it going boys.

The big event this week is the Super Bowl. Like I said let the hype begin. The other big event of the weekend as I mentioned in my last blog is UFC-81 that features the UFC debut of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion Brock Lesnar. Brock will face former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir, who has faced many big time opponents.

Talk to you all next week after the Pats win it all.
