NFL Standings - Half Time

None of you would've probably guessed, but I kind of like American Football.

I personally like watching CFL more, because not only is it a little bit faster-paced, but the Hamilton Tiger Cats are above-average enough that you can still get tickets for dirt-cheap (I think are sold for about $10 each? I'm unsure). However, I haven't gone to watch a game in about a year, and I am not planning any time soon.

But one thing I love looking at is team standings.
Before I continue, you all have to understand that I write most of my blog entries while I'm working at Bizclip. This is because I'm supposed to scour the internet for blog-posts and put them onto their news website, http://www.newscliptv.com/. Therefore, I asked my manager if I could make my own blog, and the rest is history.

So, while I'm working at Bizclip, I take a little bit of a break to look at NFL standings. I haven't looked at them... well, ever. During the morning, I only have a few minutes to watch SportCenter while eating breakfast, so I don't document the numbers, but I'm highly interested in seeing how some teams are doing.

So, after a quick analysis, I think the world will end in 2012: The Toronto Maple Leafs might win the Stanley Cup this year!

Ha-ha! But seriously, the stats for the NFL are a true mystery.

First of all, Detroit, Buffalo, San Francisco and Houston are in the top-tier. This is a definite surprise, because... well, when was the last time Detroit won 6 games? I think I heard they've won more games than they have in the last 3 years!
Also, Buffalo has always done poorly since the early 2000s, and you'd think a team with no stars wouldn't do well, but NOPE! They're pulling victories out of thin air, and not only that, but they are winning with good scores! They are also in the same division as New England and New York Jets, two teams that, in the past few years, have done well.

The rest of the stats are truthfully unimportant, except for a certain team that seems to be in the playoffs every year: Indianapolis, which seems to be holding onto a strong 0-9. Now, I thought, "Aww, come on, Peyton Manning. You can't be doing this bad!” Well, he hasn't been doing badly, since he hasn't played a game this season! Not only that, but TE Dallas Clark had received a season-ending injury. With such losses as that, one can easily see how a tam could fall apart.

Well, I suppose that ends my NFL analysis. I apologize for my amateur statements and research for any of those who are insulted.
