The Buccaneers – Really Glad It’s The Beginning Of The Season?

During these early games, we fans may believe that early loses are natural, and that they give their favorite team a chance to reevaluate, regroup, and refocus their energies on the tasks ahead. For coaches, players, and owners, however, the preseason games were supposed to do that, and these first games tend to be indicative of what’s to come over the remainder of the season. They are the ones out there, so they have to be pessimistic in order to spark a reversal of old habits and self-defeating attitudes. OK, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were taken by the Dallas Cowboys at a score of 37-21. What went wrong?

In all actuality, the game was a good one, and if anyone seemed to be slow at the start of it, it would have to be the Cowboys. Romo wound up with 353 passing yards, teaming up most often with Patrick Crayton who caught 4 passes for 135 yards. Roy Williams, formerly of the Detroit Lions, earned praise for his steady effort and opportunistic play, earning a 66 yard touchdown for the Cowboys after slipping through the Bucs secondary and streaking it home.

The Buccaneers head coach sufficed it to say that he and his team knew the Cowboys were play makers before they got into the game, and that they failed to capitalize on many opportunities to both shut down the Cowboys’ offense and turn on their own scoring line. Leftwich gained an honest and hard-fought 276 passing yards for his Bucs, completing 27 of 41 passes, but the end zone so rarely seemed within reach, even after a 16 play offensive drive during the 3rd quarter.

Pinching It Out In OT: The Steelers Take The Titans

This had been projected as a tough game form the start, and it turns out the two teams ended up with a battle of the defenses right to the nail-biting, pulse-pounding end. Both teams were held scoreless throughout the first quarter, with the running game of the Pittsburgh Steelers being foreseen and shut down by the Tennessee Titans for nearly 25 minutes of play. Roethlisberger needed to find a different strategy, and ended up with a winning combination in receivers Ward and Holmes. Once this dynamic passing game was set into motion, Ben was able to throw for 363 yards against the Titans defense, completing 33 of 44 passes.

Though Holmes was good for 131 yards, and Ward for 103, the biggest obstacle on the field continued to elude the team: the end zone. The third quarter would again find both teams with no scoring, and the raging battle between the two defenses continued to hold scoring at bay. With one touchdown and one field goal apiece at the close of regulation play, the stage was set for a 4 and a half minute overtime push toward the ending of the game.

Jeff Reed would win the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers with a field goal kick through the uprights at 4:32 counted on the overtime clock. Once the Steelers were declared the victors and their celebration began, Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher had a few things to say about his teams’ performance and chances for recovery during the remainder of the season. The Titans, according to their coach, are a strong team who missed some vital opportunities and had a field goal blocked, but who are very capable of bouncing right back and winning their remaining games.

Anticipation Of The Fame Kills Tour Heating Up After Kanye’s VMA Indiscretion

After Kanye West’s glowing praise and appreciation for his concert tour partner, Lady GaGa, on talk show The View, most of the world embraced him as a man of character who could spot and appreciate talent no matter what genre it was housed in. With his recent outburst at the VMA’s, however, stealing Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech time for Best Female Artist of the Year and asserting that perhaps Beyonce Knowles had been shutout by the young country music artist unfairly, the temperature is rising and the publicity is mounting for this double-header, tentatively scheduled to launch in November.

Aside from this, Kanye West has become somewhat of a legendary concert tour engineer following the high-production, near perfect results of his 2008 Glow in the Dark Tour. And Lady GaGa doesn’t seem to require much of an introduction herself these days, having become one of the most watched, listened to, and respected new artists since her 2008 debut album The Fame was released. Its first two singles, Just Dance and Poker Face, were instant international number one hits. She has two tours under her belt leading up to the Fame Kills Tour, one as the opener for New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls, and the other as headliner for her Fame Ball Tour.

There are only 4 tour dates announced thus far for this tour, and they are as follows: November 18th at Arco Arena in Sacramento, California, December 12th at Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina, December 26th at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, and January 24th at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Remaining dates and venues are scheduled for posting within the week.

Broadway: How Will You Know What To See This Season?

Broadway is one of the most visited and revered places on the face of the earth, and its shows and productions seem to catch on so fiercely that they wind up out on tour for years, or with permanent homes in countries overseas. The sheer excitement and grandeur of the Broadway experience is something that everybody should make themselves privy to at least once in their lifetime, and there really is no such thing as a bad show when you factor in the atmosphere and the tradition which have made these venues and shows such a timeless and beloved custom in America.

If you are a musical kind of person, or even if you don’t think you are, the following are a few of the most popular and well-received productions on Broadway today: there is Lion King the Musical, Wicked, Billy Elliot, Chicago, In the Heights, Mama Mia!, Mary Poppins, Shrek the Musical, The Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, and South Pacific, just to name a few. Lion King the Musical and Wicked are currently slated as the most in-demand productions of this season, and the more prominent classics such as South Pacific and Chicago are always a special treat.

For those who would rather focus on the art of screen play acting and basic movement of storyline, the plays on Broadway are second to none in the world. The most awaited and limited play this year is the much-acclaimed A Steady Rain starring Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, which is reportedly running very few performances. Some of the other classics being performed this season include Burn the Floor, God of Carnage, The 39 Steps, and Hamlet starring Jude Law.

Gridiron Excitement – NFL Season Ready To Kick Off

Summer may be coming to a close, but the good news is that the pro-football season is gearing up for another hot season. Just in case you have missed some of the buzz over the weekend, we have some of the news and predictions for some of the hottest NFL teams just for you.

From all accounts, it looks like the New York Giants could have an exceptional year. The Big Blue is experiencing a transition year in terms of their receiver, but there is no faulting the defense.

Provided that Tom Brady can hold up to the task, it looks as though the Pats will have a good year despite the fact that their defense is in transition.

The Minnesota Vikings have definitely attracted some attention, due in no small part to running back Adrian Peterson. The question of whether Brett Favre will be able to carry his load throughout the season is still up in the air, but the defense is in top notch condition. Only time will tell regarding exactly how well the Vikings are able to pull it out this season.

The Chicago Bears have the added benefit of Jay Cutler, who is adding more excitement to the offense than this team has seen in a long time. If the defense can hit the mark as well, this could end up delivering some surprises.

After suffering some knee and back problems last year, Matt Hasselbeck is back at the top of his game, but we’ll have to wait and see exactly what that means for the Seattle Seahawks this year.

Albert Haynesworth is definitely improving the defense for the Washington Redskins. How well they perform this year could come down to whether or not their quarterback, Jason Campbell, is able to pull it off.

No matter which team you’re rooting for this football season, we have all of the tickets you need to satisfy your gridiron thirst. Don’t wait another day to purchase NFL tickets to your favorite team at StubPass.com.

Teams that make the playoffs will begin the postseason on October 7th, with the playoffs running through October 14th. Of the four American League and four National League teams that will compete in the playoffs, the lucky winners will then advance to the League Championship Series kicking off on October 15th. Following the conclusion of the League Championship Series on October 25th, the NLCS and ALCS winners will compete in the 2009 World Series. This year, the World Series will be hosted by the AL, who won the pennant in the 2009 All-Star Game. The first World Series game will take place on October 28th in the American League city.

You may be on pins and needles to know who will face off for those final games, but as of right now the MLB playoff teams have not been decided.

In the National League, the projected teams are the St. Louis Cardinals, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, the 2008 World Series Champs.

The Boston Celtics With A Few Bones To Pick This Year

This season’s tickets are bound to sell like hotcakes, though a few standout games are bound to garner more attention and a faster rate of sale than others. Old arguments, new rivalries, and a competitive nature that spans back over 6 decades, the Celtics are looking at another great season of fiery, fierce, action-packed basketball against some of the most winning and deserving teams in the league. Will you be there?

For starters, the Boston Celtics will face their seven-game rivals the Chicago Bulls for the first time since the Celtics knocked them out of the run during the first round of the finals. The Bulls, we are quite certain, have not forgotten this defeat, but more likely have learned from it and allowed it to guide their training leading up to this year’s season. This big game takes place at the Celtics on October 30th.

On a reverse of the aforementioned scenario, the Celtics will host the Orlando Magic on November 20th, and this should be a very deep and telling game of the wills. Some roster changes have caused the Magic to gain experience, while the Celtics have earned the ignorance and power that is young new blood. The Celtics were dashed during their own game seven effort during the Eastern Conference Championships last year by the Magic, so this should be a great first tip off.

This is also the first year as a Celtic for ex-Piston player Rasheed Wallace, making the April 4th tip off between these two teams something to see. The Pistons weren’t necessarily on fore last season, and have since landed some big names and new tricks to their roster. All tickets for Boston Celtics tickets 09-10 season are on sale, and StubPass.com remains your secure and informative online ticket source.
