By John Clayton of ESPN
The season is 16 games, which means sometimes things change from the midseason evaluation of the best players at each position.Although Steve Smith finished with one of his best seasons, it’s hard not to put Wes Welker and his incredible numbers ahead of him. Center Nick Mangold finished strong and wrestled the top spot from Chris Myers of the Texans and Maurkice Pouncey of the Steelers. Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suhstomped his way off the All-Pro list with dumb penalties and problems stopping running plays.Here are my All-Pro selections:

Clayton’s All-Pro team

ESPN.com NFL senior writer John Clayton picks his 2011 All-Pro team:

OFFENSE

Pos. Player Team Comment
WR Calvin Johnson Megatron was unstoppable this season no matter how many defenders were around him. He led the league with 1,681 yards and led WRs with 16 touchdown catches.
WR Wes Welker Welker, who had 122 catches and 1,569 yards, worked the middle of the field like no other and helped Tom Brady to his first 5,000-yard season.
LT Joe Thomas Injuries at the end of the season knocked out Jake Long and re-established Thomas as the top left tackle in football. He gave up only 3.5 sacks for a young quarterback and a struggling offense in a division that featured three playoff teams.
LG Carl Nicks This was my toughest choice. Logan Mankins is an icon, but Nicks surrendered two fewer sacks than Mankins and provided great blocking on the run.
C Nick Mangold This strong position also features Pouncey, Myers and Ryan Kalil. Mangold finished the season strong enough to edge out for honors.
RG Jahri Evans Evans cut down on his penalties this year and remained the main force on the right side of the Saints’ offensive line.
RT Eric Winston The Texans’ line blocked so well that they had to have somebody on the All-Pro list. Winston maintained the RT lead; I had him as my midseason selection.
TE Rob Gronkowski Jimmy Graham was my first-half All-Pro, but in the greatest tight end battle I’ve ever seen, The Gronk set an NFL record for tight ends with 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns, beating Graham by 17 yards and six touchdowns.
QB Aaron Rodgers Sure, Drew Brees set more records than Rodgers, but a 15-1 season and a victory over Brees in the season-opener give him the nod.
RB Maurice Jones-Drew Despite trying to break in a rookie quarterback, Jones-Drew destroyed eight-man defensive fronts to win the NFL rushing title
RB LeSean McCoy Not only did he gain 1,309 yards and prove he’s an every-down back, he made red zone trips productive with 20 touchdowns, 17 on the ground.
FB Vonta Leach NFL players voted him into the top 100 players in the league during the offseason, and he’s proved it in the move from Houston to Baltimore.

DEFENSE

Pos. Player Team Comment
DE Jared Allen Sure, he fell a half-sack short of Michael Strahan’s NFL record but getting 22 sacks on a 3-13 team is incredible.
DT Haloti Ngata Ngata remains a dominating force in the middle of the Ravens’ defense.
DT Geno Atkins Atkins was Pro Bowl alternate with 48 tackles and eight sacks, but he makes my list ahead of Suh.
DE Justin Smith He made the Pro Bowl at defensive tackle, but he’s an end in a 3-4. Aaron Smith of the Steelers was the best 3-4 end in the 2000s, and Smith is emerging as the next challenger.
OLB Terrell Suggs T-Sizzle was my Defensive MVP, so he wins this spot.
ILB Patrick Willis He led a defense that was absolutely great against the run and tough to beat with a passing attack.
ILB Brian Cushing Ignored for the Pro Bowl but not ignored here. Though controversial off the field, Cushing is a great player on the field and helped the Texans become a top-level defense.
OLB DeMarcus Ware This may sound strange, but Ware’s 19.5 sacks came in what seemed a quiet season for him.
CB Johnathan Joseph Joseph’s leadership and man-to-man skills made as much of an impact on defense as any player did in free agency.
S Earl Thomas In his second year, Thomas’ range and leadership helped turn a young secondary into one of the best in football.
S Troy Polamalu When he’s out of the lineup, the Steelers struggle. He played 16 games this year, and the Steelers went 12-4.
CB Darrelle Revis More receivers ventured onto Revis’ island this season.

SPECIALISTS

Pos. Player Team Comment
K David Akers He set records with 44 field goals in 52 attempts and didn’t put in a claim for overtime.
P Shane Lechler He should win the Ray Guy Award for locking up his seventh trip to the Pro Bowl.
KR Patrick Peterson Normally this slot is reserved for Devin Hester, but let’s rent it out for a season. Peterson had four punt returns for touchdowns and broke Louis Lipps’ rookie punt return yardage record.
 
 
Mr Clayton I respect you very much, I am a Pats fan who lives in Louisiana, and week in and week out I get a chance to watch two of the best QBs in History and not that Rodgers isn’t great he is. But Hoyer or Daniels couldn’t come off the bench against a DEF as good as the Lions and put up almost 500 yards and 6 TDS like Matt Flynn did. So I feel and it hurts me not to say Brady but Brees should be the QB on your team and Rodgers wasnt 15-1 he was 14-1. You could take Rodgers off the Packers and they are still a playoff team something you couldn’t do in New Orleans or New England

After the first night of “The X Factor’s” finale, Simon Cowell tells Access he paid a pretty penny for Howard Stern to be the new judge on “America’s Got Talent.” Also, he weighs in on the backlash for choosing the shock jock to replace Piers Morgan.

My view is that Howard will bring more viewers just to see how is going to act and after they tune in a see Stern is a good judge and is taking in serious they will stick around for the whole season. It’s a win, win for NBC, Simon Cowell and Howard Stern.

Fresh off a summer of this rumor or that rumor on the Iphone 5 or 4S we now start the next season of rumors the “IPAD SEASON”. Every so often, we get a bundle of rumors about new Apple products most of them turn out to be wrong, but it’s still fun to speculate about the next big thing that is going to make us wait in line for it at the local Apple Store.

I am one of the Apple Fan boys who can’t help but fall for all the rumors. Like most of you who follow Apple rumors i was hoping for the larger faster and new designed Iphone 5 last year and was let down by what we got the Iphone 4S. Not the phone is not very nice, its faster, it has better graphics, better battery and SIRI. How many of you still use SIRI? I use it some but not as much as I did when I first got the phone.

Well let’s get back to what we are here for now. First rumors come for the Washington Post: The Washington Post is say that the iPad 3 will have one major improvement a new kind of HD screen. A source suggests that a new device will be introduced with a 9.7-inch screen, and also expects a January announcement.

I found the January announcement to be a little early. Let go to the next rumor:

This rumor is about the two versions of iPad 3 has been floating around even before the holidays. However, it gained traction after Digitimes reported last week that “Apple is set to unveil two versions of its IPad 3 tablet, one for the high-end segment and one for the mid-range segment.” The new models of iPad 3 will join the iPad 2, demonstrating Apple’s complete iPad series targeting the entry-level, mid-range and high-end market segments, said the report. Barclays Capital also believes that the Cupertino tech-giant may unveil two iPads in 2012. According to one of its analysts, while one model of the iPad 3 will come with better cameras, higher resolution display, an A5 processor and Siri in March, another one will hit the market later this year, featuring a faster processor and 4G LTE. This rumors I can see happening with al the new tablets on the market such as the Kindle Fire being priced at under $200 dollars Apple will want to get an entry level tablet designed towards kids and for schools so they can start them young on the Apple name. While techies and business people will want a high-end version for designing and business both sides will be happy. I would like if Apple would add the Chip for 4G LTE now and we can activate when the carrier has it then have to wait until the end of the year. But I guess we can’t always get want we want.

Here some other rumors:

Face Recognition

Will the next generation iPad recognize users by face? Well, this is what the latest rumors suggest. According to MacRumors, a patent had been filed in 2010 that says a user “profile would be immediately accessed once the iPad recognizes a user’s face.”

The face detection system could be a low-power system that is always active, allowing face detection to be the primary method to unlock your iOS device, the report said.

Siri and Other Features

Other new iPad 3 features are reportedly likely to include Siri, iCloud and iTune Match for cloud-based storage of music, movies and TV shows. According to a Spacelab report, the iPad 3 is also expected to feature plenty of new iPad apps like the upcoming Spotify iPad app.

One rumor being talked about is releasing it on Feb 24th which is Steve Jobs Birthday I really like this idea kind of memorial for one of the greatest minds of our generation.

Well there a lot of rumors going around and its fun the speculate on what the IPad 3 will have, do, or look like but one thing is sure we all will want it.

Andrew Luck (27 for 31 347 yards 2TDS) did all he could Monday night. It wasn’t enough, as OSU won the Fiesta Bowl in OT after Stanford missed a pair of FGs.

Andrew Luck did all he could do proving he should be the number pick in April’s NFL draft. But the another star showed why he should be a high draft pick also Justin Blackmon had 8 catches for 186 yards and 3 TD in the win.

Should Alabama knock off top-ranked LSU in next week’s BCS championship game, Oklahoma State will be right there, ready to stake its claim at being No. 1 in The Associated Press poll.

“There is nothing we can do from here,” said Blackmon, a projected first-round NFL pick who tied the Fiesta Bowl record with his three touchdowns. “I do think we do have the best team in the nation.”

I don’t believe that OSU has any chance of getting the AP Title even if LSU loses. I feel the AP will give it to LSU because will only have one lose and beat Alabama once this season already.

 Well last night saw the answer to the 6 week long mystery of IT Begins angle. Well were you let down or were you happy. I felt a little let down not that was Y2J but that the program building up to the return really made no since. I feel that last night was a setup to have him be a heel, but please explain the videos. Only thing I can take from it is that CM Punk is the she is the video because not SHE talked last night adn the videos last night were shown after Punk was shown each time. So i feel that the SHE has to be a pun for Punk.

So now to his return :

With a lighted jacket and a screaming arena of fans, Jericho’s return was much like ones from the past. He reveled in the audience’s reaction at first, but then it appeared like he enjoyed it too much as he tried to continue chants, screamed for the crowd to get louder and did not speak into the microphone. Jericho left WWE fans confused and upset. Even though he remained happy, he did not say a word and simply walked out of the arena. It seemed like the start of a new storyline arc for Jericho as the WWE Universe was left waiting until next week to find out more about his plans.

I feel like this is WWE droping the ball I would have had the light go black during the World Title match and attack both men the put the title belt on Punk chest and laugh while saying BEST IN THE WORLD Yeah Right. We all now this is where its going so plant the seed now. Maybe he will bring in more wrestlers to make a stabe of returning guys (Lesner, Clay etc..)  and speaking of Clay what in the hell is the WWE doing with this kid.

Reggie Bush has had a great season at running back, something I never thought he would be able to do. I thought had would play well but never rush for over 1000 yards and 200 in a game. I have always liked Reggie so i hope that the change from the Saints to Dolphins will turn his carrer around.

Click the link below to see what Bush had to say about running for over 2000 yards. Good read.

Could Y2J be the Mystery Force

 

Sources inside the WWE are saying that Chris Jericho will appear as the Mystery Force on Monday Night’s Raw from Memphis TN on Jan 2 2012. Jericho is saying he is finished with the WWE. So is this a smoke screen from the WWE or from Jericho one or both could be lying and it will be someone else. But all things or pointing to a Chris Jericho return.

How do you feel about this? let us know

In my view not saying that have Jericho back in the WWE wouldn’t be great but most saw this as the person from the beginning. I wish we could get  the best of both worlds and get Jericho back but he is a part of the Force’s plan to taking over
