Round Up of the Week

NFL
I got half of my predictions right this week haha
Biggest regret though was that I took Jerome Harrison out of my fantasy team in the NFL. I still won my game though because of a brilliant performance by Aaron Rodgers.

Cricket
The Aussies were lucky in the Perth Test against the West Indies. Its pretty safe to say that if Chris Gayle played in the second innings with anywhere the amount of skill he played with in the first innings the Aussies would have been in trouble. If it was South Africa playing Australia I think the result might have been different.
I have to admit, I didn't like Shane Watson one bit since he played for Australia and since he has been put in the spotlight as the player that could replace Andrew Symonds as Australia next all rounder. I thought as a player and a person he seemed cocky, extremely arrogant and thinking he was better than anyone else. The way he celebrated his wickets against the West Indians confirmed my suspicions, this guy is a dickhead. Everyone (including me) has an enormous amount of respect for Chris Gayle because of his laidback attitude and amazing eye for hitting the ball. For Shane Watson to react after getting Gayle out was not on and his arrogance is coming out because he stands by what he said. As well as his reaction after he got Deonarine or Nash, I don't know which one where he was kneeling on the ground and looking to the sky.
As for Ricky Ponting, mate you are a champion. It takes a lot of balls to come out after being taken to the hospital from being hit by a couple of nasty balls. Just confirms yet again why Australian cricket needs a hard nosed captain like Ricky Ponting not just a pin up boy like Michael Clarke.

NHL
Just a quick one, congrats to Martin Brodeur who became the all time leader in shutouts yesterday against my favourite teams the Penguins
