It's Stanley Cup Parade time in Pittsburgh, as the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame the odds and defeated the Detroit Red Wings to become 2009 Stanley Cup Champions. The Pittsburgh Penguins parade has been a long time coming for the franchise that suffered through some down times and financial crisis before the current roster was finally put together. Now fans are going to enjoy the first Pittsburgh Penguins parade since 1992, and it will undoubtedly be a great day of celebration for the city. The exact time of the Pittsburgh Penguins parade will be announced in the next couple of days by the team.

It seemed like the successful days for the Pittsburgh Penguins were behind them, but that was until Sidney Crosby came to town and changed the entire mind-set of the NHL. One of the highest regarded draft picks that the NHL had ever seen, he became the #1 choice in the 2005 Draft Lottery. In his first season he finished with 102 total points, and he followed that up with an NHL leading 120 points on offense during his second season. He won the Art Ross Trophy for his work, and put that on the mantle next to his Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the NHL.

With a seven game series victory over the Detroit Red Wings, the Pittsburgh Penguins have won the third Stanley Cup trophy in the history of the franchise. Down 2 games to zero, and then down three games to two it seemed like this would be the year of the Red Wings. With game seven scheduled to be played in Detroit, the experts said that it was going to be a celebration in Motown, and surely another Detroit Red Wings parade through the downtown area. That is not quite how things would turn in game seven though, as the Penguins pulled out a nice 2-1 win to clinch the Stanley Cup title.

The Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup parade will definitely have a large turn-out, as fans have a reason to celebrate again in Pennsylvania. Details on the 2009 Stanley Cup Parade will be released to the media within the next couple of days, and it will then be a rush to get seats on the streets where the parade will be passing. It's an exciting time to be a Penguins fan, and the loyal fans of the Steel City.

In a fitting coincidence, this championship came eight years to the day after the Yankees lost Game 7 of the 2001 World Series in Arizona on Luis Gonzalez's broken-bat single off Rivera.

New York spent billions trying to get back. At long last, it did.

Hey Babe and Yogi, Mr. October and Joltin' Joe – you've got company. Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia and a new generation of Yankees have procured their place in pinstriped lore.

And for the four amigos, it was ring No. 5.

Jorge Posada, Jeter, Pettitte and Rivera came up together through the minors and were cornerstones for those four titles in five years starting in 1996.

Now, all on the other side of age 35, they have another success to celebrate. And surely they remember the familiar parade route, up Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes.

Indeed, a New York City-sized party is next. Nine years in the making, with all the glitz and glamour this tony town can offer.

For Steinbrenner, it was the seventh championship since he bought the team in 1973. The Yankees had talked about winning another for their 79-year-old owner, who has been in declining health.

Though he stayed back home in Tampa, Fla., he certainly wasn't forgotten. The grounds crew wore “Win it for The Boss” shirts last week, which were on sale outside the ballpark Wednesday.

New York wasted its chance to wrap things up in Game 5 at Philadelphia, then set its sights on clinching the World Series at home for the first time since 1999.

While nine years between titles is hardly a drought for most teams, it was almost an eternity in Yankeeland.

New York's eight seasons without a championship was the third-longest stretch for the Yankees since their first one, following gaps of 17 (1979-95) and 14 (1963-76).

Reggie Jackson's three homers in Game 6 against the Los Angeles Dodgers made the Yankees champs in '77. On this November night, Matsui delivered a sublime performance at the plate that must have made Mr. October proud.

Playing perhaps his final game with the Yankees, Matsui hit a two-run homer off Martinez in the second inning and a two-run single on an 0-2 pitch in the third.

A slumping Teixeira added an RBI single in the fifth off reliever Chad Durbin, and Matsui cracked a two-run double off the right-center fence against lefty J.A. Happ.

A designated hitter with balky knees, Matsui came off the bench in all three games at Philadelphia. Still, he had a huge Series, going 8 for 13 (.615) with three homers and eight RBIs. His go-ahead shot off an effective Martinez in Game 2 helped the Yankees tie it 1-all.

Bobby Richardson was the only other player with six RBIs in a World Series game, doing it for the Yankees in Game 3 against Pittsburgh in 1960. Richardson had a first-inning grand slam and a two-run single in the fourth.

Matsui's big hits built a comfortable cushion for a feisty Pettitte, who shouted at plate umpire Joe West while coming off the field in the fourth. Still, Pettitte extended major league records with his 18th postseason win and sixth to end a series.

The 37-year-old left-hander, pitching on three days' rest, became the first pitcher to start and win the clincher in all three postseason rounds. He beat Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels in the AL playoffs.

Pettitte lasted 5 2-3 innings, allowing three runs, four hits and five walks. Joba Chamberlain and Damaso Marte combined for 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief before Rivera secured the final five outs.

It had been nearly a half-century since players had won five titles with one team. The last to do it? Of course a bunch of Yankees: Yogi Berra (10 titles), Mickey Mantle (seven) and Whitey Ford (six) in 1962, according to STATS LLC.

For second-year manager Joe Girardi, a three-time Yankees champion as a player, it was the fulfillment of a mission. When he succeeded Joe Torre in October 2007, Girardi chose uniform No. 27, putting his quest on his back for all to see. His tenure didn't start out so well, with New York missing the playoffs in its final season at old Yankee Stadium following 13 consecutive appearances.

Steinbrenner's well-paid players hadn't soaked themselves in bubbly after the season since Bernie Williams gloved Mike Piazza's midnight flyout at Shea Stadium to win the 2000 Subway Series and cap the Yankees' third straight championship and fourth in five years.

Two outs from winning in 2001, the Yankees stumbled in the desert. New York then spent more than $1.6 billion after that trying to regain glory, falling short with infamous flops such as Kevin Brown, Javier Vazquez and Carl Pavano.

But last offseason the Yankees got smart, adding a trio of top free agents – Teixeira, Sabathia and A.J. Burnett – for $423.5 million. They jelled with Rodriguez, the game's highest-paid player but a winner for the first time in 16 major league seasons.

A-Rod became a newly minted champion following a sordid spring in which he admitted using steroids from 2001-03 with Texas and then needed hip surgery.

Maybe now, demanding fans in the Bronx will consider him a true Yankee.

NOTES: Howard set a World Series record with 13 strikeouts. … Derek Jeter batted .423 in the Series. … Teixeira had been 2 for 20 before his RBI single in the fifth. … It was the fourth time Rivera got the final out of a World Series. … Yankees LF Johnny Damon left after three innings with a strained right calf. … All-Star CF Shane Victorino was in Philadelphia's lineup despite an injured index finger. Victorino was hit on the right hand by A.J. Burnett's fastball early in Game 5 and removed in the eighth inning.

Michael Vick is finally back. After serving his last two months of his 23 months sentence for running a dog fighting operation, Michael Vick was still suspended for the first two games of the season. On top of that, he was having trouble finding a team to sign him. The fact that Michael Vick was still on the hot seat after his release had teams reluctant to sign, not only because of his lying to his former team, Atlanta Falcons, but also the protests, against any team or supporters of Michael Vick, led by animal lovers.

However, with support of Tony Dungy, former head coach Indianapolis Colts, Michael Vick was finally able to get back on track with his career. Dungy became somewhat of a mentor to Vick. He also, somehow, convinced Eagle's owner Jeff Laurie and head coach Andy Reid to consider adding Michael Vick to the Eagle's roster.

Michael Vick was eventually signed a one year contract with the Eagles with an opportunity for a second year. But with a starting quarterback on the roster, Donovan McNabb, and a backup, Kevin Kolb will Michael Vick ever get a chance to play?

A chance presents itself on September 13, 2009 when McNabb walks off the field with injured ribs. However Vick was still suspended for another game. Kevin Kolb is to start in the absence of McNabb.

Some blessing came Michael Vick's way for McNabb is still sitting out due to his injury. Kevin Kolb is to start again against the Kansas City Chiefs with Michael Vick making his return as Kolb's backup quarterback. This will be Michael Vick's first game since December 31, 2006 with the Atlanta Falcons.

Although Kolb was leading the offense, Michael Vick seem to get most of the attention. While coming on the field, he was welcomed with many enthusiastic responses. I, personally, was applauding for him that very moment. Kolb did great with neither McNabb nor Westbrook, who is also sitting out due to a sore ankle. Kolb threw for over 300 yards and even scored a touchdown after a one yard quarterback sneak. Michael Vick did not contribute much to the Eagle's 34- 14 win against the Kansas City Chiefs but he seems pretty content being able to put in a few plays.

Michael Vick was on the field for eleven plays. During his time on the field the Eagles moved forward for a total of thirty yards. In my opinion, after a few games, Michael Vick will get his groove back. Hopefully the Eagle's will give him the opportunity to get on the field for a few plays after McNabb recovers from his injury.

The Oakland Raiders 2009 campaign starts on Monday Night Football against arch rival San Diego. This season looks to be a bit more challenging than last season. Provided the Raiders can get some consistency from their disconnected offense, the team could see some improvement this season. Oakland needs to win key match-ups in their division on this schedule.

Monday, Sept. 14: vs. Chargers (LOSS)
The energy from the history of playing under the lights on prime-time has faded. Its time to attempt to get it back – but against the Chargers, it will be highly unlikely.

Sunday, Sept. 20: at Chiefs (WIN)
The Raiders last won three straight in Kansas City between 1999 to 2001. If the Raiders have their heads on straight, it can happen again.

Sunday, Sept. 27: vs. Broncos (WIN)
Denver is heading into a tailspin fast. Oakland is already there and will use their hated rival as leverage to get out of the basement.

Sunday, Oct. 4: at Texans (LOSS)
For the fourth year in a row, a Raiders/Texans match-up. Oakland won't surprise here.

Sunday, Oct. 11: at Giants (LOSS)
These two teams are not even on the same level in terms of talent. Expect the G-Men to easily squash Oakland here.

Sunday, Oct. 18: vs. Eagles (LOSS)
Another embarrassing loss to an NFC East team. Two weeks in a row will easily damage the Raiders morale, and this isn't the hardest part of the schedule.

Sunday, Oct. 25: vs. Jets (WIN)
The Raiders defeated the Jets with Brett Favre at QB. They seem to have their number lately, and you can bet on it staying that way.

Sunday, Nov. 1: at Chargers (LOSS)
A must win against a division rival, which in typical fashion, the Raiders will lose due to defensive lapses.

Sunday, Nov. 8: BYE WEEK
A good time for a break. For once the bye comes during the middle of the season instead of week 4 or 5.

Sunday, Nov. 15: vs. Chiefs (WIN)
I'm banking on the Chiefs self destructing early in the season, so this game will finally give the well rested Raiders a confidence boost.

Sunday, Nov. 22: vs. Bengals (WIN)
If the rumors are true and Ocho Cinco makes his way to Oakland, expect the antics to elevate to epic proportions. He may just have the game of his life.

Thursday, Nov. 26: at Cowboys (LOSS)
The Raiders haven't played on Turkey Day since 1970. There's a reason why.

Sunday, Dec. 6: at Steelers (LOSS)
When the Steelers were defending champs in 2006, the Raiders took it to them. This Steelers team is different than that one. The Raiders will probably wish it was the 06 Steelers.

Sunday, Dec. 13: vs. Redskins (LOSS)
Welcome to the middle of the late season collapse, starring the Raiders. Don't expect any miracles or change in fortunes. Playoff runs are still too far beyond the grasp of this team.

Sunday, Dec. 20: at Broncos (LOSS)
The air is as thin as any hopes of Oakland having a .500 season. Broncos still win at home even without Shanahan.

Sunday, Dec. 27: at Browns (LOSS)
Rob Ryan's revenge. Although Cleveland may not have a lot left in the tank at this point.

Sunday, Jan. 3: vs. Ravens (LOSS)
The only way the Raiders will score any points against the Ravens is off a gifted defensive turnover of some sort. The offense could probably get a head start cleaning out their lockers since there's no chance in hell they should even bother taking to the field.

Final prediction, 5-11 on the season. Another year out of the playoffs and without a glimmer of hope for the future. As a part of Raider Nation, I'm being cautiously optimistic on the wins this year, but it could very well be a 2-3 win season if the team implodes again.

Here's to cautious optimism!
