Mets' season over after loss of Santana

It's not easy being a New York Mets fan right now, and after today's news of their best pitcher Johan Santana needed elbow surgery to remove bone fragments things just got a lot worse in Queens, NY.

You can all but put a fork in the Mets after this unfortunate news, which is sad because a lot of people had picked the Mets to the one of the if not the best team in the National League to start the season. Personally, I feel bad for the Mets because of the great team they would've had if not for injury's.

Gators Overrated?

I know that Florida returned every player on a defense that was one of the best in the country and I also realize that they have a Heisman trophy winning quarterback in Tim Tebow, but what Florida doesn't have is a constant go-to playmaker on offense.

I think that the loss of Percy Harvin to graduation really hurts the Gators' offense because he was the focal point of that offense for the last two years. I'm not worried about Florida not being able to reload because they're stacked with more talent than any team in the country, but no matter who they put in to replace Harvin won't be as good as Harvin was.

Playing in the SEC is not easy and if Tebow thinks he can do it all by himself than he's on something. Injury is somthing that is over serious concern to Urban Meyer and should be a concern for all of Gator Nation.
