HOUSTON – For those who have to stop to remember we have a pro soccer team in Houston, the Dynamo want to refresh your memory. According to their website the club will have a ONE DAY FANTASY CAMP for 10 fans. Those 10 will have to WIN the right to take part in the promotion. I am certain one would have to show your intense love for the team. You most likely should not bring up the trade of Brad Davis (even though the team made it look as if they were doing him a favor). Don't mention the lack of a playoff spot for two seasons and I WOULDN'T say Brian Ching is best remembered as the guy who heads up the women's team. If you can't name the new coach, that's ok, neither can some of the players.

I NOW SHIFT to the football most follow and the big day that determines those headed to SUPER 50.

I HAVE not given the Carolina TEAM much credit despite their having won 16 of 17 and once again have the home field against Arizona. Two teams ditching the names of Phoenix and Charlotte to suggest they represent the entire states of NORTH and ARIZONA, which they do. My daughter loved Carolina since they were the one team that got her cable TV. She went to Wofford College for her undergrad work and when the Panthers came to train there, the players had the dorm rooms wired. Thanks to owner and Wofford alum Jerry Richardson, my daughter and friends had cable.

Not to be outdone, my son got his Masters at Northern Arizona. Flagstaff is the training home of the Cards and they were especially friendly to the students who showed up to watch the drills. My son suffered through the heat and frustration of the Oilers so he appreciated the lack of humidity at NAU. He became a Cardinals fan.

I am going with the former Blinn JC QB in this one, despite Arizona having the best receiver in Larry Fitzgerald. And for another year I am figuring Brady will out play Manning. Most fans have to hate one of the last two and NE is that team. The Pats will have to out play Wade's defense. I gotta think that might be hard to do. I love making it sound as if I have both teams winning.
