Who is a better slam dunker, Blake Griffin or LeBron James?

We believe that LeBron James is a better dunker because his slams showcase his phenomenal athleticism and creativity, over Griffin's pure strength.

Who wins the Superbowl, Giants or Patriots?

Jack: It will be very close but I have to go with the Patriots. Tom Brady seems to have more confidence than any other QB out there and the Patriots defense is performing as of late.

Dalton: I believe that the Giants will win because of their tenacious defense. They also have a high powered offense led by Eli Manning. I believe that the Giants will be able to contain the Patriots offense, and that the between Victor Cruz, and Hakeem Nicks their offense will tear apart the Patriots weak secondary.

Who do you think the number one pick in the NFL draft will be and why?

Andrew Luck, the Indianapolis Colts have the first pick in the draft and they are looking for a Quarterback to take over after Peyton Manning retires sometime in the near future.

Is Tim Tebow really holy, or is it just an act for attention? Seems to me like God is on his side.

Tim Tebow yes is indeed a good man but also happens to be a very good football player. He is a good display of a Christian athlete, and shows it on and off the field. It is great to see a guy like him win, hopefully more athletes can follow his example.

How can we fix the joke that is the BCS without jeopardizing the the tradition of the college football bowl system?

Dalton: I believe that the only way that you could keep the tradition and make it a more fair process is have a four team playoff. I believe that you have the BCS ranking system make their decisions, and then take the top four teams and have a bracket to truly decide the Nation's best college football team.

Jack: Honestly I think that it is a system that cannot be fixed. Overall it is very flawed and in my opinion is a system of everyone can win since they can play in a bowl game. Granted throwing out the BCS is impractical and costly i think it should be a top eight team playoff system for the National Championship and no other bowls.

Recently Lebron James tweet inquired the last day for free agent signing in the NFL on his twitter. Do you think he could play in the NFL?

Dalton: He definitely has the athleticism for the NFL but would need a lot of training to get to the skill level of a pro football player.

Jack : At most he could be a role player and play a few plays a game. As far as athleticism goes he has plenty of it but he has not played football since his junior year of high school. He would need a few years of practice.

How about those Packers. Why are they called the Packers? It seems like an odd name.

The Packers were founded in 1919 by Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. Lambeau received $500 for equipment in agreement with a local Business called the Indian Packing Company. Curly Lambeau recieved funding if he called their team the "Packers". The Green Bay Packers is currently the oldest name in the NFL.
