Florida Gators wide receiver Percy Harvin says that his sprained right ankle is “90 percent” and will play in the BCS National Championship Game against the Oklahoma Sooners.

Harvin sat out the SEC Championship Game against the Alabama Crimson Tide after injuring his right ankle in the Gators regular season finale against in state rival Florida State Seminoles. Harvin is fully committed to playing in the National Championship game, healthy or not.

Gators quarterback Tim Tebow will need him against a stifling Sooners defense that will look to contain Tebow and his ability to run the football. Which means Tebow may have to use his arm to win the title this year.

The Gators will have plenty of weapons for Tebow to use along with the addition of Harvin in the offense makes them even more dangerous.

The Miami Hurricanes got two huge commitments at the Under Armour High School All-American Game Sunday night.

Seminole High School’s 6A Florida State Champions quarterback/safety Ray Ray Armstrong and defensive end Dyron Dye made the Hurricanes their choice to play college football.

Armstrong was the teams quarterback/safety this year and will play defense at the Miami and Dye was strictly a defensive end for Seminole and will be playing the same position at Miami.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel’s 44-yard interception return for a touchdown helped spark a big playoff win against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday evening by the final score of 26-14.

There was not much offense in this game from the Eagles but plenty came from defense and special teams. Eagles kicked David Akers hit four field goals giving the Eagles the 12 points they needed to win the game.

The Eagles loan touchdown was scored on a 71-yard touchdown pass from Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to running back Brian Westbrook.

The only bright spot for the Minnesota Vikings was the effort given by pro bowl running back Adrian Peterson on offense rushing for 83 yards and two touchdowns.

Next up for the Eagles is a trip to their division rival and defending Super Bowl Champions the New York Giants.

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed and the Ravens defense picked off MVP runner-up Chad Pennington four times as the Ravens defeated the Miami Dolphins Sunday afternoon 27-9 to move on to the second round of the playoffs.

Reed picked off two passes taking one 64 yards for a touchdown late in the second half. Reed’s total of 76 yards with both interceptions and one touchdown was more than the total amount of rushing yards and touchdowns recorded by the entire Dolphins offense.

Cornerback Fabian Washington and safety Jim Leonhard had one interception each to contribute to the Ravens defensive effort.

The Ravens defense completely shut down the Dolphins offense and look very good going into next Saturday’s game against the equally defensive Tennessee Titans.

First year Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith edged out the Miami Dolphins first year coach Tony Sparano for the AP Coach of the Year Award.

Smith led the Falcons to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth amongst the turmoil of the abrupt departure of former head coach Bobby Petrino and the dog fighting incident with former quarterback Michael Vick.

The Falcons were a dismal 4-12 last year with Bobby Petrino at the helm, but the addition of rookie quarterback Matt Ryan, free agent running back Michael Turner and Smith at head coach turned the Falcons into a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Congratulations Mike Smith!!!

San Diego Chargers speedy running back Darren Sproles led his team to a 23-17 victory in overtime past NFL MVP Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts Saturday night in the first round of the playoffs at Qualcomm Stadium.

As promised San Diego Chargers starting running back LaDainian Tomlinson did give it a go through and played sparingly through the beginning of the second quarter and scored a three yard touchdown.

The Chargers also had another unexpected hero in this game and his name is Mike Scifres.

Who is Mike Scifres you ask? Well he’s the Chargers punter, yes the punter of all people made a  huge difference in a playoff game. I have never seen a punter kick like this in a game.

He punted the ball six times for an average of 52.7 yards per punt including a 67-yarder. What’s even more impressive is that all six of Scifres punts pinned the Manning and the Colts offense inside their own 20.

After fumbling near the end zone in this game, Sproles came back to make up for his mistake and then some. He totaled 328 yards, 105 yards rushing, 45 receiving yards, 106 kick return yards, 72 punt returns and his two touchdowns, the most important one was the 22-yard touchdown scored to seal the game.

This makes two years in a row that the Chargers beat the Colts in the playoffs. WOW!!!

Congratulations Chargers!!!

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the surprising Atlanta Falcons Saturday afternoon with great all-around play by both offense and defense.

The offense was led by its normal stars with one surprise thrown in. Those who watched the game saw the resurrection of an NFL great.

Running back Edgerrin James led the Cardinals in rushing with 73 yards on 16 carries controlling the ground game enough to get Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner enough time to pass the ball to his top targets. Warner passed for 271 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.

Cardinals wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin did their part by making some long touchdown passes to help solidify a win for the Cardinals in their first home playoff game in over 60 years.

Fitzgerald made an amazing 42-yard touchdown catch to start of the scoring and then Boldin made a 71-yard touchdown catch on the next possession to give the Cardinals their second score in a row.

The Cardinals defense held Falcons star running back Michael Turner to just 42 yards on 18 carries and intercepted Falcons rookie quarterback Matt Ryan two times in this pivotal first round matchup.

The momentum changer was when Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle caught a fumble off of a tremendous play made in the backfield by Rolle’s teammate defensive tackle Darnell Dockett and ran it back 27-yards for a touchdown.

Arizona Cardinals rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie picked off fellow rookie Matt Ryan to seal the victory for his team as they move on to the second round of the playoffs. Rodgers-Cromartie also led the team in tackles with 10. Overall the Cardinals played a great game and is looking good right now. I would hate to play this team continuing on in the playoffs.

Congratulations Cardinals!!!

Sources close to the San Diego Chargers say that running back LaDainian Tomlinson will “try” to give it a go against the Colts in tonight’s playoff game after finding out he has a torn tendon near his groin.

Does this look and sound familiar Charger fans??? Yeah I bet it does, because that’s where you will see your franchise player sitting tonight when they against the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Tomlinson tried to give it a go against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game last year and played about two or three plays and sat on the bench the rest of the game.

Meanwhile, Antonio Gates was playing with a turf toe and Phillip Rivers with a very bad knee fighting for their one great shot at a Super Bowl and got no help from their star/franchise player.

This year seems to be no different for the Chargers and their mighty hero. Tomlinson has to be the best incomplete season running back in NFL history because he seems to only be healthy enough to play in the regular season but when it comes time for the playoffs he somehow stays hurt.

Bottom Line: The Chargers need to keep a very good second string back on their roster because Tomlinson seems to be a regular season back only.
