By, now I&#8217;m sure that almost everyone has heard about the Jets head coach and his wife with the foot fetish videos, but did you hear the press conference by Wes Welker of the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>Welker talked about the game in a manner of simply bashing Rex Ryan, saying things like, &#8220;we will be putting our best foot forward&#8221; and many other foot tongue-in-cheek comments,.<\/p>\n<p>He did it with such a straight face and right after the Patriots owner was talking about how their franchise was professional and above all of that. I guess In the end, it backfired on the Patriots as the Jets got the last laugh.<\/p>\n<p>On now to the rivalry Bears versus Packers. Is this old time football or what? I can&#8217;t wait to see this one. In a way I am rooting for the Bears as I would like to see Mike Martz and Lovie Smith win it all. Plus remember, it is the anniversary of the Super Bowl Shuffle, the horrible video and song but out by the Fridge and the Bears.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Get Pujols Signed!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a class act Albert Pujols is in terms of him signing his new deal. He basically said that there is a deadline now before Spring Training because he doesn\u2019t want it to disturb the team after he reports. I would definitely agree. Pay him what he wants and move on. He deserves it.<\/p>\n<p>Puhols hasn\u2019t had a bad season yet with the Cards and look, he is the face of the franchise. He actually wants to be here in St. Louis, that says a lot. Our local pro teams often spend a ton of money on players that don\u2019t pan out. We know what we are getting with Pujols and besides that, he is a huge attendance draw for the fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Randy Gardner What a weekend for sports, last weekend and again this upcoming weekend.
