Matt Center: January 2009
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Super Bowl XLIII Preview. Well, we are finally here; Super Bowl XLIII. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals will duel it out on the field to see who will bring home the Vince Lombardi trophy. It will be a great game to watch. The Steelers have an elite defense and a decent offense; conversely, the Cardinals have an elite offense but a decent defense. The Arizona defense also needs to shine in order to win. They forced twelve turnovers in the postseason and tha...

Matt Center: September 2009
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. The New England Ego. Well, the New England Patriots "came back" against the Buffalo Bills, who were without defensive player Paul Posluszny, 25-24. The Bills dominated the first three quarters by holding Brady's Patriots to only 13 points. However, the crucial turning point came after the Pats narrowed it down from 24-13, to 24-19. Leodis McKelvin returned the kick from the end zone, when he could have downed it for a touchback. Yes, it was an impressive end of the game for Ne...

Matt Center: Take it Easy
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009/08/take-it-easy.html
Saturday, August 29, 2009. Nearly every Yankees fan on the planet knows the Yankees are in very good shape to make the postseason and are poised to make a playoff run. But, one thing to remember: IT IS STILL ONLY AUGUST! Anything can happen during the last few weeks of the season. With two weeks to go in the 2007 season, no one thought the Colorado Rockies had a shot at the playoffs. No one thought the Mets would relinquish their lead in the NL East. But what happened? Well, what happened? I have heard f...

Matt Center: February 2009
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2009. Jets' Moves After Day 2. First, the New York Jets signed linebacker Bart Scott to a six-year, $48 million deal. Scott and Rex Ryan will be reunited. Scott's presence in any defense is well-known. Him in Rex Ryan's defense makes him an even more prominent player. Scott will replace Eric Barton at the inside linebacker position, who is a free agent. Scott will also play alongside David Harris, the Jets' 2007 second round pick. Also, the Jets released wide receiver Laveranues Co...

Matt Center: Bombers Sweep Sox out of Bronx
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009/08/bombers-sweep-sox-out-of-bronx.html
Monday, August 10, 2009. Bombers Sweep Sox out of Bronx. Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been busy. I have kept writing articles, but did not post them onto this blog, and they are too outdated to be posted. I have, however, kept up with photography and maintained doing both sports picture taking and sportswriting. Hopefully I can update this some more. In the 5-game series, there were some games with tons of offensive support, but for both sides. There were no classics like the 15-inning marat...

Matt Center: The Cause of Joba's Problems
http://mjearticles.blogspot.com/2009/08/cause-of-jobas-problems.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. The Cause of Joba's Problems. Last night, the Yankees decided to pitch Joba Chamberlain on eight days rest. EIGHT days rest. That is to conserve his innings limit for the season, which is now around 165 innings. Chamberlain was drafted as a starting pitcher out of Nebraska and was developed as a starting pitcher in the minor leagues. But in the midst of the 2007 pennant race, the Yankees needed immediate help, so they called up Chamberlain – but not for the rotation. Advocates...
