Yesterday every Bronco fan sat on edge and watched the Colts emotionally beat the Texans in a 28-16 victory in Manning's old house. With Chuck Pagano on the sideline for the first time in months we saw that Andrew Luck, did not need luck on his side, as he beat the best team in the AFC, up until that point.
Even with Manning and the Denver Broncos now on a 11 game winning streak, Denver fans have had to cheer for a few different teams this year. Broncomania was cheering for the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago when they marched into Tom Brady's house and punched him in the mouth. With the Patriots losing that game, that inevitably put Denver in position to control their own destiny at least for the second seed in the AFC playoff race. Remember about a month ago it looked like the Broncos were going to end up with the forth seed, but would have to play without a bye week, and the NFL still wasn't sold on Denver because they hadn't beaten the Ravens in Baltimore yet? Funny how things change and the dynamics of playoffs can shape up in a matter of two to three weeks. Then yesterday, minutes before the Broncos walked on the field to play the horrible Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos got final word that Indy had beaten Houston and at that time, every Bronco player new what was on the line if they beat Kansas City. The No.1 seed.
The beating of Kansas City yesterday was almost perfect, with exception of Ronnie Hillman fumbling and having it almost returned for a TD if it wasn't for the effort of Manning and Dreessen to save seven points. Then the Broncos defense did what the Bronco defense does. Held Kansas City to three points. The only time they let Kansas City remotely get close to the end-zone all day. Draft bust, and former Bronco, Brady Quinn, went 7/16 for only 49 yards, and was sacked four times throughout the day but was under pressure most of the time he had the ball in his hands. Then Peyton Manning did what Peyton Manning does. He spread out the ball and passed for a total of 19 first downs, 304 yards, and three touchdowns, averaging 10.5 yards a pass. Not only that, but two of his touchdowns were highlight catches from maybe two of the best wide receivers in the game Decker and Thomas. Decker made the first one with the diving, one handed, bobbling grab in the end-zone that was only to be followed up with Thomas' leaping one handed catch in the back of the end-zone only a few drives later to really stamp the winning touches on the Chiefs.Manning came to Denver to win a Super Bowl. And right now, that is exactly what Denver is on track to do. Last time the Broncos sat in first place with the No.1 seed was the 1998 season when Elway and the gang walked to a second straight Super Bowl. Would it be nice to see Manning win the MVP. Yes, of course. But with MVPeterson (Adrian Peterson) running lights out, the MVP race could go both ways. Is it great that Manning just got voted to his 12th Pro Bowl, but if you ask around the Bronco locker room, they are here to win a Super Bowl, not have their journey end at the Pro Bowl.
With the Broncos now having a first round bye, and home field throughout the playoffs, the Colts will go into Baltimore and try to continue their season by beating a lost Ravens team. Winner of that game will come to Manning High.... I mean Mile High. Some might say that they wish Denver didn't have a bye weak in fear that this Manning lead team might "cool down". All I have to say to that is remember when Broncos played Thursday Night Football against the Raiders and they had 10 days to rest and prepare for the Ravens? Look what happens. Denver walked into Baltimore and slapped the Ravens in all aspects of the game. So I like the chances Denver has when this coaching staff and personnel has time to prepare and get ready. Hold on Bronco fans, this ride could be fun.So I pose the question. Is this Broncos team special? Is this the team to take Bronco Country back to being on top?Thank you for your eyes that allowed you to readJames HarperJames Harper Twitter- @JHarperMedia Facebook: Denver Sports Breakdown Sports Podcast- James Harper, Denver Sports Jamesdharper3@gmail.comSource:http://jamesharpersports.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-year-new-seed-three-games-for.html

En 1942, le général Mac Arthur fait envoyer par le fond 6 millions de dollars (en pesos) au large de Manille pour éviter que l'argent tombe aux mains des ennemis nippons. Malgré ça, les Japonais cherchent à mettre la main sur le magot et lorsqu'ils capturent quatre plongeurs américains, ils les obligent à effectuer des 
recherches.Menés par Clyde Preston (Jim Brown), un expert en explosifs, les soldats Robert Fletcher et Zoe Dawson (Richard Jaeckel & Timothy Brown) font mine de collaborer avec leurs geôliers mais préparent leur évasion. Quant à leur supérieur, le Lieutenant Butts (Rik Van Nutter), il voit d'un mauvais œil d'être mis sur un pied d'égalité avec des Noirs.Totoy (Dindo Fernando), un révolutionnaire phillipin lui aussi prisonnier propose son aide pour l'évasion en échange de l'aide de Preston envers la résistance... 
Je n'ai regardé ce Pacific Inferno que pour compléter cette filmographie de Jim Brown. 
Et j'ai été agréablement surpris, malgré quelques longueurs et des scènes de guerre essentiellement concentrées au début et empruntées à d'autres films ou documentaires.D'abord, c'est vraiment un rejeton de la blaxploitation. En particulier par son équipe de production : Jim Brown se lance dans la production (associé à Richard Pryor, seulement remercié au générique) et cofinancés par l'acteur Rod Perry (The Black Godfather et The Black Gestapo) et le producteur/casteur/directeur de production Cassius Weathersby. Coté équipe technique on retrouve beaucoup de collaborateurs de la période blax comme Billy Whitten, le costumier de Jim Brown 
dans Black Gunn et Slaughter's Big Rip-Off (qui officie aussi sur The Take et Bustin' Loose), le scénariste Roland S. Jefferson (Disco 9000 et Death Drug) ; de jeunes professionnels afro-américains font aussi leurs classes comme l'assistant de réalisation Eric Jones (Boyz N the Hood, Blue Chips ou encore Amistad) et Earl Watson le monteur attitré de Reginald Hudlin(sur House Party, Boomerang, The Great White Hype et The Ladies Man) qui collabore à de nombreux films afro-américains des 90s comme (Trippin', Panther, Deliver Us from Eva, Two Can Play That Game, The Salon...).C'est assez rare pour le signaler, car lorsque le filon blax se tarit, nombre d'acteurs et de techniciens disparaissent 
des génériques.Noirs ou Blancs, on retrouve quelques gueules connues comme Richard Jaeckel -il joue aux cotés de Brown dans The Dirty Dozen et fait une apparition dans le première épisode, The Enforcers, de la série Shaft-, l'ancien footballeur Timothy Brown (premier rôle dans les films deux films blax d'Al Adamson : Dynamite Brothers et Black Heat), Dick Adair (Black Mamba, Ebony Ivory and Jade et Blind Rage) et l'incontournable acteur phillipin Vic Diaz (The Big Bird Cage, Black Mama, White Mama, Savage !, Bamboo Gods and Iron Men, Black samouraï).S'il ne faut pas chercher une pépite dans ce Pacific Inferno, on savoure facilement ce film d'action de série B qui évite les errements ultra "exploitatifs" d'I Escaped From Devil's Island (ici, pas de requins affamés ni de scène de viol) et flirte avec un second degré appréciable, à l'image de la scène ci-dessous lorsque Brown et Jaeckel se passe un détonnateur comme lors d'un match de foot.
