October is approaching

The best month of the year is rapidly approaching and I just keep getting excited as that day inches near. Why wouldn't anyone love the month of Oktoberfest. I'll tell you why I love it:

First of all its a great sporting month. NFL and College Football in full swing, the long MLB season starts the postseason, which is always great, and NBA training camps begin and College Basketball practices begin. Boy oh Boy! Can't go wrong with that!

Second of all it has officially become fall season and towards the end of the month is my birfisday, whooop. Anyways, lets do some interesting talking.

I'm going to leave you guys with a name you should never forget... FAVRE!

That's right, FAV-RE. He is the man and on his way to breaking every record Dan Marino owns including the Touchdowns record. I have always been a Favre fan and never get tired of watching him play. He is so enthusiastic and enjoyable to watch. Yeah he had a few down seasons the past few years, but I think the Packers have come together to give Favre one final push into the playoffs.

The Packers are off to a strong start at 3-0 and Favre and company are looking very poised, especially on defense to make a run at a good season. I'm not saying the Packers are going to win the Super Bowl, but they have looked very good and are a hot team right now.

It is always key to start off a 16 game season very well so you don't get your team into a bad situation. And the Packers have started off by beating three playoff teams from last season, including Super Bowl favorite San Diego.

So far the two NFC teams that have looked the best have been the Cowboys and Packers, both off to 3-0 starts. While in the AFC it has been the Patriots and Colts, like always.

I hate to talk about it, but the Patriots have looked by far the best team scoring 38 points in all three of their games. And WR Randy Moss is looking like old in the Patriots pass happy offense.

With only a few games remaining on the MLB regular season schedule, the four American league teams have been determined, just waiting on Boston and New York to decide a division winner, which will be Boston of course. The other two teams are Anaheim and Cleveland.

While on the other side in the National League, there have been no playoff berths yet while every division is very very close. With the playoffs starting next week, I always enjoy watching the postseason.

And October also means basketball season is rapidly approaching and that is by far the best. Before my season predictions for the upcoming basketball seasons, I'm going to get bold and give you four teams that have a good chance at winning the championship in both the NBA and College.

First off in College Basketball, my Final Four Pre-Prediction. North Carolina (of course), Georgetown, UCLA and Memphis. Those may or may not seem like a surprise, but I can usually get the job down on recommendations.

As for the NBA, two teams from the West and East. This is always a challenge to just pick two teams from each conference, but here is what I think. Well in the West, should be no surprise San Antonio and Dallas, not because they are the two teams I like in the West, but because Dallas had a ridiculous record and a fluke fall out in the playoffs and you can never go wrong with picking the defending champ Spurs.

As for the East. This is probably the harder choice, but I am going with Chicago and Miami. Yeah Chicago blew Miami out of the playoffs last season, but if Miami stays healthy this season they will be back no doubt.

I think that is about it for the go around, enjoy the football weekend.
