Sports buzzing in my Ears...

"Cards!Cards!"

Lately, that's just about all that I hear.

Three to four times,weekly, I go to exercise at the local YMCA. It seems that almost every night I go, a game is on one of the televisions in front of me. But, surprisingly, it's not anything I'm interested in seeing. The truth of the matter is, I live in Cardinals country: St. Louis Cardinals,that is. All I know is that they currently are 27-34 on the road this year, compared to 41-23 at home. Yeah, that's about it.

While my life is almost immersed daily with Cardinals baseball surrounding me, another sport drove my excitement this week: football.

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Arizona Cardinals in their second pre-season game at L.P. Field in Nashville on Monday night.

In the battle of quarterbacks, Tennessee's Vince Young had the upper hand over Cardinals QB Matt Leinart, with the help of team members like tight end Craig Stevens and running back Chris Johnson.

I think what we saw on Monday was the potential for a great season all the way through this year for the Titans. Last year started off rough, but Vince Young pulled through about mid-way in the season.

The Titans' defense also did a superb job against the Cardinals' offense. They managed to stop the run many times, leaving the Cardinals' only open for one
touchdown and one field goal the whole night.

Tennessee closed the game out 24-10 against Arizona. The Titans will hit the road to play the Carolina Panthers Saturday night, while the Cardinals prepare for the Chicago Bears.

Recent transformation of a Team

I just want to touch on one of the recent highlights in sports...last week, the Boston Celtics NBA team announced the signing of forward Shaquille O'Neal. I think, if he can remain healthy, O'Neal is a great addition to the team.

After all, the person who was the team's tallest player last season, Kevin Garnett, is not even seven feet tall. This can be a vital addition for the team when it comes to increasing rebounds and scoring inside points against teams with players that are massive in height...weight as well.

Good luck, Boston.
