Welcome to Sanny P's Sports Rant!
I literally live, breathe and sleep sports. I love sports. Some may call me a sports fanatic. If there is a sports related discussion or topic going on amongst friends and sometimes even strangers, I always have to put my two cents in. So, on the advice of my cousin, I decided to create this blog to share my sports musings with the world. If you love sports or me, follow along. And if you don't, don't bother me...I got a game to watch.

Day 2: The ridiculous divisional standings in the NFL......
It's two days before the Giants play their last game of the season in Washington. Whether or not the Giants make the postseason depends on the Giants beating the Skins AND the Bears beating the Packers this Sunday. Knowing full well that the Giants had their destiny in their own hands and SHOULD have beaten the Eagles two weeks ago and then beaten the Packers to ensure a playoff spot, I still think it's pretty ridiculous that a team that could and should (hopefully) end the season with a 10 and 6 record may not make it to the postseason. It is hard to have 10 wins in an NFL season especially in the NFC East. And with the way the divisions are set up, the Seahawks may make the postseason with a 7 and 9 record. Really? They deserve to make the postseason over the Giants?? Admittedly, the Giants haven't played the best football this year and basically crapped out the last two and half a quarter games. They lead the league in takeaways (YAY!) but also giveaways (BOO) which lets me know if the Giants weren't so busy shooting themselves in the foot this year, they might have ended the season with a 12 and 4 record or maybe even better. That being said, the Giants will win 10 (hopefully) games this year and if the division setup wasn't so retarded, the Giants should be playing in the postseason for the fifth time in 6 years. I think the NFL divisions should be set up more like the NBA conferences. Like have a NFC East and NFC West division as well as an AFC East and AFC West division. Then, the top teams of each big division record-wise should play in the postseason. Just a thought.
