According to Adam Schefter New England Patriots QB Tom Brady is done for the season due to the knee injury he suffered during the opening quarter against the Chiefs. The early fear is that Brady did damage to his ACL and/or his MCL. More test will take place tomorrow to determine just how bad his knee is injured. However, what is known for sure is Brady will not take another snap this season.

Alright since football season is in full swing, Walker-Sports is up and running at full speed. As part of our ongoing effort to be the best sports blog on the net, we will live blog the remainder of the games taking place today. Bringing you highlights and notes from around the league.

Tom Brady goes down in the 1st qt with a knee injury. This could be very very bad for the Pats.

The Eagles look like they are ready to make a run this year. McNabb looks better than I have seen him in years.

The Jets look better, but still need a lot of work on their Oline.

The Rams offense looks horrible right now.

Well Randy Moss seems to remember how to get into the endzone.

The Steelers look very good against Houston. I really thought this could be a breakout year but they will need to weather the storm of a tough couple of opening weeks.

Looking around the league, offensive line play is so important. I know having a good D is big, but without the big boys up front your team is just dead.


It's hard to say if Atl is that good or are the Lions that bad once again.

If McNabb can remain healthy the Eagles could be really really good.

I can actually feel the heat coming off of Marvin Lewis's seat. Things are not good in Cinci. Not good at all.

Wow Dallas looked good on the opening drive.

Mmm... the Pats don't look as good without Brady.

A lot of teams look rusty today, and to think they are talking about shortning the pre-season.

Jake Delhome is back, wow what a completion to win that game.

The game that went under the radar this weekend, was the Titans beating the Jags.

Alright, so this is not going to be some in depth post, but I just had to get this one off my chest. ECU is without a doubt the hottest team in the NCAA right now. Big wins over Va. Tech and they pretty much man handled West Virginia. Skip Holtz has his team playing extremely well. Most impressive is their speed on defense. They currently have wins over 2 BCS conference teams and with a game against UVA coming up they have a chance to make that three big wins. Now I am not saying they are going to win a national title, but they could make a solid push and attend a good bowl game and that would be an impressive step for this program.

Congrats to the ECU Pirates.

I've seen this probably 1000 times and every time I love it. Here at Walker-Sports we are big Barkley fans, we liked him when he played and he may be even better in the booth. This is just another great example.

Laron Landry is a great defensive player, and when it is all said and done he will go down as one of the best safety's to play the game. However, on Thursday night he got a wake up call that he will never forget.





Brandon Jacobs has proved to be a Redskin killer during his career, and last night he made a poster out of Landry. It just was not the skins night at all.

Taking a look at the college football landscape on the upcoming weekend, and as far as marquee games go, things are a little scarce. Thursday's South Carolina vs. Vandy game may have been the most exciting game on the weekend. Nonetheless, there is football to be played, and that means Walker-Sports is going to talk about it.

We have waited a long time for this, the start of the NFL season. All those days in training camp and all those trade rumors and all those holdouts all served one purpose, and that was opening day of football season and winning a Super Bowl. Now Walker-Sports it ready to start picking games. Let me explain how this works, we pick four or five games and give you a preview and the score. We will keep a running tab on how our picks work.

Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants: The Giants are the defending Super Bowl Champions. Thursday night they receive their Super Bowl rings in a ceremony. That may be the highlight of their night though. In typical NYC fashion the Giants are a circus once again. Half of the amazing D-Line that stared in the Super Bowl is either hurt or retired. That will cripple what was a very good defense. On offense the Giants will look very much the same as last season, which could be good or bad; it just depends on which Giants team shows up.

The Washington Redskins are hurting. Jim Zorn is entering his first season as a head coach and he will have an uphill battle ahead of him. His West Coast offense has not worked for the skins to this point. Washing was outscored 77-7 in the last weeks of the preseason. On defense Pro-Bowler Jason Taylor is already hurt. He is a game time decision on Thursday, but the rumor mill says that sprained knee is really a ligament tear of some sort. The Redskins have too many new faces all over their staff and too much instability at the QB position.

Giants win 21-17

Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers: The Vikings were oh so close to picking up Brett in the off-season but they will have to settle for Tavaris Jackson. Unfortunately, Jackson is very injury prone, and he has already suffered a knee injury this season. The story in Minnesota will be Adrian Peterson yet again. He will need to remain healthy and be a workhorse. Especially against a stout Green Bay defense that will blitz Jackson often to confuse him and force turnovers.

It is Aaron Rogers's time. He has waited his whole life for this moment and on Monday night he will have to calm the nerves and go out and play against a solid Minnesota defense. Granted the Green Bay fans have stood behind him to this point, but if Rogers tosses a couple picks on Monday you can expect to hear that name we shall not mention be passed around. Rogers needs to take control of this game early and establish himself as a leader and the future.

Packers win: 24-17

Tampa Bay Bucs vs. N.O. Saints: The Bucs were another team rumored in the Brett saga; they also failed to pick him up and instead alienated their starting QB. Jeff Garcia. Nonetheless, the Bucs are coming off a playoff performance last season and there is no doubt they want to return their again this year. The difficult part with this team is they are aging. They will struggle to keep up with a very young and speedy Saints team.

The Saints have dodged the bullet yet again as Gustav ravaged New Orleans last week. However the Superdome is fine and the spirit of New Orleans is nearly impossible to break. Last year the Saints took a bit of a set back due to injuries, but in 2008 they are locked and loaded to go. Brees will return to stellar form and look for Shockey to work the seams against Tampa. In addition another victory for the Saints would be a solid return for Deuce.

Saints win: 31-20

Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns: The Browns have a lot of injuries going into this game. Anderson is making his debut after recovering from a concussion he received during the regular season. In addition Edwards is also entering the season banged up. Last year the Browns offense was dynamite and they will need to be explosive just to keep pace with the Cowboys on Sunday.

For the Cowboys the regular season almost doesn't matter. They will be graded on how they perform in the playoffs. Nonetheless, they need to play and win their regular season games to put themselves in the best position possible. Dallas was ravaged by injuries at the wide-out position. Sunday's game will be a good chance for one of their new guys to step up and establish themselves. Also do not be surprised if the Browns get a heavy dose of Mr. Jones out of the backfield, catching passes, working in the slot.

Cowboys win: 38-27

Ana Ivonovic was the worlds number one ranked women's tennis player and on Thursday she was bounced from the U.S Open in the second round. That makes back to back majors that she has made an early exit in. So with that being the case, I have to ask the question, is she really that good? Or is she just another pretty face who cannot seem to get it done on the court? It would not be the first time that has happened on a tennis court.

The NCAA Season is here this is without a doubt one of the greatest days of the year. Here at Walker-Sports it is really more like Christmas.

Walker-Sports will be live in Charlottesville Virginia this weekend at the U.V.A vs. U.S.C. game. Join us at WalkerSports on Twitter for live updates from the game.

Also place your wager (don't worry it's not real money) but it will be for bragging rights. Anti-up on the UVA and anyother game you want at Sportsviews

Cowboys newly acquired corner back Adam Jones has been reinstated by Commissioner Goodell. In a letter to the player and the Boys addressed for today. The reinstatement means Adam will be eligible to play in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 7th.

With the College football season right around the corner, everyone is excited and getting their coolers ready to go tailgating. This is the time of the year when everyone has a chance to make it to the Big Show. Well, Walker-Sports is here to tell you 10 truths that you need to know before you head out to the tailgate, fire up the grill in the back yard, or just sit you ass on your couch.

10) Notre Dame will not return to form. They will be much improved, but that's not hard to do when you only win 3 games last season. Lou Holtz says the Domers will win 11, and he proved why he is a crazy old man. Notre Dame will win 6 maybe 7 games, but don't expect more.

9) Michigan will be better than advertised. The Wolverines have gotten flack since Rich Rodriguez showed up on campus. However, he is a good coach with a good scheme. Also he is coaching at Michigan not Hampton Sydney. That means there are athletes there even if they are not perfect in his scheme, they know how to play the game and will excel on the field.

8) Whatever the amount of alcohol you bring to the tailgate or the party, it is not enough. Remember More is more, so grab that extra 12 pack.

7) The Kansas Jayhawks will not repeat last years amazing run. Why? Oklahoma, South Florida, Missouri, and Texas Tech. The Jayhawks are still a very good team, but their schedule has gotten a lot tougher, and they just won't be able to keep up.

6) Tommy Bowden will not win the ACC Championship with the Clemson Tigers this year. The Tigers practically anointed the ACC Championship as soon as last season ended. However, they have to actually play the games, and that could prove to be tougher than they realized. Bowden has a ton of pressure on him to get this Tigers team to perform. They need to realize the ACC is riddled with pitfalls, a conference with multiple teams that are all hungry.

5) Don't bet your money on Appalachian State pulling another big upset. App. State caught Michigan off guard last season. LSU knows they are coming and trust me they will have both barrels locked and loaded. This one could get ugly.

4) Never leave when there is still beer in your cup or bottle. I don't care if the game is about to start and you are about to miss the dotting of the "I" Should have thought of that before you popped a top. Now its time for you to chug-a-lug.

3) OSU will win the Big 10 and play for another national title. They will also lose again. However, this time it will not be a SEC team that beats them.

2) Tim Teabow will not win the Heisman. Not because he did not have a great season, but because the voters will not give the award to a guy twice in a row. Yes, I know he was the youngest player to earn the award last season, but that does not mean he will be able to be the first yet again.

1) Oklahoma breaks their Bowl game skid. Not only do they break their losing streak, but they do it in a big way winning a national title against OSU.

Okay so everyone knows the LPGA is dominated in ratings when compared to Tiger and the PGA and maybe even the Champions Tour. However, this new rule the LPGA has passed down is idiotic and flat out raciest. The LPGA will enforce a rule next season that insist that all players on the tour must be able to speak English.

HORRIBLE

Of the rationale behind this is marketing and advertising dollars. LPGA spokesmen say that due to the nature of the LPGA's fan base (mostly American) and the make up of the tours sponsors (again mostly American), they cannot risk losing any potential dollars because their top players cannot speak the language of the fans.

This is an especially difficult ruling considering that the majority of the tours top players come from South Korea. Way to alienate the majority of the tours talent.

The LPGA makes no sense at all. They throw a fit when their players are posing in provocative magazines because it hurts the reputation of tour. Yet flat out kicking people off the tour because they are not the same is okay? This has to be one of the worst rulings to come out of any league any where since the MLB integrated.

The 2008 games have come to a close, and I have to say things went off without a hitch for the most part and that is good. Too bad that even as smooth as the games were, they can't possibly run as smoothly as Walker's Rants. So with that being said let's kick off another edition of our favorite weekly article.
