Upset Specials

Hi there. With Dan being out sick its been a crazy week and when he returns, I'll bring back the "A" material. But for now I'll hit on two things "Opie's Upset Specials" and the Phantoms. Upset specials first. Last week when 1 for 2. Won on LSU over Alabama and lost on the Bills. College upset special. I've decided to use my once a football season Rutgers upset special this week and they are home dogs to the 'Cuse. They haven't played at home since the Eric LeGrand injury. This week they lay it all on the line and take out all the pain and tears against the Orange. Now for the pro, take the Patriots on the road in Pittsburgh over the Steelers. This should be one heck of a football game.
Now for my take on Greg Gilbert firing. I know the overwhelming majority of fans wanted him gone because the team was under performing. Congratulations either the genie in the bottle granted your wish or Santa Claus came with an early Christmas present. This team isn't very good to begin with. When it comes to prospects, the Flyers are ranked in the bottom third among NHL teams. Last year if you remember they traded their first round and a third round pick to Anaheim for Chris Pronger. It's hard to have a barn full of thoroughbreds when you not given any horses to fill it. One more thing before I go. Stop your whining about their not being a coaches show! Doing one is not on the job description they give you when you get hired...Enjoy the weekend...Leccese out.
