Sport seasons have ended, practically.  The NBA Finals will end within the next two weeks, and then it's baseball here on out until we get to NFL Training Camp, and the College Football season.  That's what you might think, but the College Baseball World Series is nearing, and the MLB season is in stride this June.  For 'T.V.' sports fans, when ESPN airs Soccer, followed by Golf, they might be a little uninterested.  But, that Soccer game is the Euro 2008, and it is a blast thus far.  That Golf, is Tiger Woods returning from surgery, and possibly an open door for the U.S. Open. 

As of last January, USC committed the Number 1 player and QB of the 2009 High School class, Matt Barkley.  Barkley not only sounds like a good quarterback name, but he has that USC look as well.  Suprised?  No way, Pete Carroll is an incredible coach, especially when it comes to recruiting.  So how in the world, when they constantly bring in a Top 5 QB nearly every year, are they not turning them into championships?  120 Teams, I understand that.  But I think everyone knows, that every year, there are maybe 12 teams that even have the Talent to win a championship, then it comes down to coaching.  I fully expect USC to win a title in Barkley's tenure, even as early as this season possibly, but if they don't, does Pete's job hang in the balance?  He doesn't seem to want to make the jump to the NFL, again.  All sources really turn to him being a USC coach for life, and if that's the case, you better have two hands to count the National Championships he should win.

The Giants shocked the world when they upset the Patriots.  Well, with Plaxico wanting a new contract, Shockey seeming that he wants to play elsewhere, and Osi Umenyiora wanting a new contract.  Things seem to have gone bad quick, and Giants Center Sean O'Hara was quick to say that these players should be putting the team ahead of themselves.  I agree completely, but it's not their fault that they want more money.  The NFL's contracts, for big time players, have gradually increased year-by-year.  When Randy Moss and Terrell Owens get those huge contracts, off of years that they DIDN'T lead their team to a Super Bowl win, Plaxico has to be standing with his hand up saying 'Hello?'  No one expects to see the Giants repeat, especially with the NFC East getting better, and the Dallas Cowboys looking to be the best team in the NFC period.  But, if they don't get their act together, they might struggle to make the playoffs this year, especially since the target on their back just got that much bigger.
