Today the Tennis Gods slapped Serena Williams with a nice little $82.5k fine for her little tirade at the US Open. Serena did her best terrorist impression by shouting things like "I'll kill you" and other nonsense. She also faces suspension if she goes ham on a judge again. And who said Tennis is a country club sport? Hollaaa!
Oh, but Serena does not have anything on this girls freak out. Hand this girl the award right now. (All time classic if you havent seen it)

If anyone caught the Florida/Florida St. football game, you may have seen that FSU tried this gimmick/play/technique/debauchery at least 5 times in the game. News came out today that Bobby Bowden is going to retire, and with stradegy like this... I think his retirement is a few years over due. Boom.
And Down She Goes...
This is what I like to call a touchdown and succesful converstion.
This girl goes down. Fast.
This girl goes down. Fast.
Sorry Raw Friends
I want to extend an apology to all the TRS readers for the lack of new content. It has been a busy holiday season and sometimes people need to try to graduate college first before they update their blog daily. I hope you guys understand. Raw.

An Asinine Incident
I missed this live on MNF but my man Andrew Solarz showed it to me. Devin Hester is doing his best stripper impersonation on NBC.
Kind of funny that the guy that posted this video also put "Twilight New Moon" in the title. Thats a verteran YouTube move.

Layin The Wood
In a day and age where every one is skeptical about performance enhancers... I think this one might raise any eyebrow or 2. Regardless, dear lord, did the kids he hit die? Honestly.
The 10th Annual Turkey Trot
TheRawSection covered a rare event. On Monday morning, the Johns Hopkins Men's Lacrosse team competed in the 10th annual Turkey Trot. The Turkey Trot is a tradition at Hopkins consisting of an intense conditioning day before the holiday break. This year, 6 teams competed against each other, gaining points for place of finish. The teams were: The Special Aces, Beef Curtains, Room Service, Eskimo Brothers, ATM, and The Lord and His Knights. One of the main rules of the contests was no smiling and talking allowed. You didnt want to be the guy to violate that rule.
The day kicked off at 6:30am with an intense warm up. The first event? The Peg Board Pull Up Challenge. The task was simple. Each man had to reach the top of the peg board and then make his way back down. The Lord and His Knights, led by the Lord himself (Tim Donovan), dashed out to a quick lead and never relinquished it. They picked up 6 points in what seemed to be a promising start. Unfortunately, the Lords were sacrificed and could only manage 11 points out of all the remaining events.
After the PBPUC, the Jays gamespeeded it over to the Homewood Stadium stairs where they competed on a set of racing stairs. ATM lived up to the hype and had a strong showing, earning a bye in the first round of the next event.
The next event was a serious man session of Tug of War, complete with middle school gym class ropes. ATM squared off with Beef Curtains in the final and ATM was money once again.
A 120 yard sled push (with 2-25lbs plates) was sandwiched by two 300 yard shuttle runs. No one is really sure how the shuttle runs were scored, or even if everyone finished correctly. Therefore, TRS cannot accurately report on the results of the 300 yard shuttles. The 120 yard sled push is usually an easy task for the Jays. But not today. Some of the members of the team were diminished to a baby crawl on the field trying to move the sled. It was funny. There were no deaths on the day, but Freshman Chris Leightner (Calvert Hall High School, MD) fell ill with a "mystery" illness and could not finish the remaining events.
The remaining event was a 120 yard sled pull with the middle school gym ropes attached. The idea was to tug the rope. Technique varied. Some wore more deliberate with their tugs, others tugged it pretty quick. A stand out in this event was Dave Spaulding who was surprisingly good at tugging it.
After tugging the rope, there was a tug of war-off for first place, naturally. A strange series of events occured when Matt Drenan (San Fransico, California) ripped his shirt off to the dismay of everyone. Subsequently, he placed it back on after being heckled.
Team ATM (All The Money?) took home the championship with a well balanced performance. The Lord and His Knights were William Wallaced and ended up in last place.

You Cant Beat Kobe In Horse
Recently, on ESPN's Sportsnation something like 31% of America said they could be Kobe in a game of horse. That means 31% of America is liars. Want some proof?
Sunday night game. Lakers vs. Thunder. Kobe Ridiculousness.

Tough Break
Buffalo Bills Offensive Lineman Eric Wood suffered a BAD injury on Sunday. If you havent seen it, its probably because it was bad enough that CBS chose not to replay it. Ever.
Wood broke his Tibia and Fibula and had to undergo immediate surgery in Jacksonville after the game. He is expected to miss 8-9 months.
Here is the video. I warn you, its pretty bad. So watch at your own risk. Wood is wearing #70

Basket's That Way !
In today's NBA of the Knicks vs. Nets a rare and hilarious moment happened. If you missed the game I'm not surprised, the teams combined records are 3-22. Knicks guard Nate Robinson intentionally shot the ball at his own basket. It goes in. Then his Coach Mike D'Antoni (complete with a serious stache) gives him an earful. Thankfully (for Nasty Nate's sake), the basket didnt count.
Reminds me of my middle school basketball days. Andrew Baldwin takes an inbound pass, streaks right to the basket for an uncontested lay up. Score two for Baldwin. Score two for the other team. At the next game someone held up a sign that read "Basket's That Way Chief!" complete with an arrow. Middle schoolers are ruthless!

Megan Fox's Toe (or Thumb?)
OK, as men we can all agree that Megan Fox is a total babe (some at TRS are more obsessed than others). Some serious Salad. While TRS was at Susquehanna U. one of their players brought up in conversation that she had a jacked up thumb. They were SO right. I never knew. Oh well.
I warn you, if you think Megan Fox is hot, I dont want to ruin it for you.

TRS Goes to Southampton
TheRawSection was fortunate enough to be hosted by the Susquehanna University Baseball Team on Friday night at their school. Some of the upper level management from TRS got a chance to spend time with the players and see how the SU Baseballer's do it. They are a pretty deal around those parts and people know them (had a kid throw a perfect game last season, NO BIG). I told the guys The Raw would shout them out because they are avid readers and overall classy guys. We chatted it up about various topics such as sports, Katt Williams and Megan Fox's thumb (more on this later). Want to give a super big shout out to Kirby (Congrats on the Engagement!) who was just shutting it down like a boss. Overall, it was a great experience getting to hang out with some of our readers and hearing what they had to say.

Quit Your Crying
Finally. The Irish national soccer team (or football, we do have European readers) are giving up on challenging the intentional hand ball no-call that happened in a World Cup Qualifying game against France. If you havent heard (how could you not have?) Thierry Henry of France touched a pass, what looked to be intentionally, with his inside the box and passed it to a teammate who scored. That goal knotted the game at 1-1 and it stayed that way. France advanced by an aggregate score of 2-1 and the Beer Drinkers were sent home and did not qualify for the World Cup.
I cant say I am too upset about Ireland giving up. Let me get this right... Ireland wanted to go back and re-play the game (or play)? Yea, sure, lets just go back and re-do the play next week. Better yet, lets just restart the game? Yea, that will be good. News flash, Ireland, stuff happens. I agree its a horrible way to lose but its a little ridiculous to the extent they are taking it. Getting Prime Minister's and Presidents all involved. Come onnn. Thats like saying lets go back every week in the NFL and re-do all the passing TD's where a hold occurred. In the words of Borat, "Naaatttt".
An interview were Henry admitted the hand ball was intentional

The Band is On the Field (2009 Edition)
Last weekend, Pioneer High School in Woodland, CA did its best impersonation of Cal-Stanford's "The Play". Down 8-7 very late in the fourth quarter, Pioneer HS used a short pass, 3 latterals and one beautiful fake to seal the win on the games final play. The best part about the story is that Pioneer HS needed the win to get a shot at the playoffs. They won, they got in.
Ironically, both of these crazy endings happened in California. What's in the water out there?
Here is the video of the last play.

So You Wanna Be a Frat Superstar and Live Large?
We here at TRS are all about public safety and awareness. As the weekend kicks off we want to promote responsible drinking.
We present to you a video on how not to take a beer bong. This young 150lbs frat star tries to flex his beer muscles and gets dominated. Dont worry, he didnt die.
This is also another reason I am going with the Ravens over the Colts this weekend.
(Pay attention to what the on lookers are yelling in the video, too)

Taking It to the Face
Came across a video of a double knockdown in a Boxing match in England. Its funny and weird at the same time.
After seeing the hair cut of the guy in the black trunks it almost makes me wish this was just a video of a guy getting his face punched in. Really.

Two Guys One Stick
Last night, after the conclusion of the Anaheim Ducks game, Scott Niedermayer was just trying to be a nice guy and give his stick to a little girl in the stands. He handed his stick over the boards during the 3 stars of the game. Next thing you know, one inebriated prick cant seem to understand social norms and tries to rip the stick away from everyone. Subsequently, he jabs another guy in the face with the stick and then starts throwing haymakers. You stay classy, Anaheim.
As soon as Niedermayer hands his stick over you can see he knows how its going to turn out....

A Happy Ending
This High School football game between Chaminade and Webster groves has an unreal finish.
Some pretty solid plays by both teams. The only thing that detracts from this game is the announcer at the end who is clearly just a gym teacher working overtime.
Props to Chris Boland (6 and 2) for the vid

OchoCinco "Acts A Donkey"
Chad OchoCinco used some unique language to invite a fan on his twitter on a shopping spree. The tweet said:
"Hotel manager name is Jesse, first person to say my name Ocho Cinco to Jesse at the Marriot we about to act a donkey in the mall." Yup, Chad was going to buy Donkeys in the mall.
The lucky fan was David Anderson, who was at the hotel within 15 minutes (nerd alert). Him and OchoCinco hit the mall and began donkeying. Over 50 people ended up showing up at the hotel asking for "Jesse". The hotel fielded tons of phone calls, even 6 hours after the tweet.

The Very First "Raw Section" Free T-Shirt Contest
It is here. It is here to stay. The very first "TheRawSection" free t-shirt contest. The rules are simple. The object is simple. The t-shirts are free (we will even ship them).
There are 2 separate contests:
Rep TheRawSection- Represent TheRawSection however you would like. Do it at your tailgate, fratastic party, place of work, school, game, whatever/wherever. It doesnt matter.
The most creative/coolest/funniest/Rawest picture submission will be the winner, as voted on by the people of TRS. We will also post your pic for a week. Instant stardom. Everyone in the picture will get a t-shirt (as long as its not all of Happy Valley or something)
.
Biggest Cheesemon- I know what your question is. Whats a Cheesemon?
Well, to come up with an accurate definition for Cheesemon, you must consulte the Dictionary of Peter Swerz. The D of PS states a Cheesemon is a McPherson or a total Cheese person. A squeak. In plain English that is a person thats a huge fratstar, or a toolish cool person, or the person that gets the most ignored calls in your phone. I think you get the picture. Please add a short Cheese story to increase your potential of winning. We will post the Cheesemon for a week.
All you need to do is email us your picture submission. We may choose more than one winner for the both contests so fire away. The last day to send your pics in is December 4th. We will pick the winner right after that.
Here is a prototype of one of the shirts (its not the final copy, they will be in color). Pretty self explanitory. Know what I mean?

Judge Threatens Jail for Collaros
An Ohio Judge has warned Cincinnati Bearcats QB Zach Collaros that if he doesnt finish his alcohol class then he is going to jail instead of the bowl game. Collaros was caught with a fake ID a few months back trying to get into a bar. He was ordered to attend a class on the dangers of alcohol. Obviously, he didnt. The Judge called him back in and reprimanded him. Excuse me, Mr. Judge, do you not know Zach Collaros is way above the law right now. His QB rating of 195.53 is practically a get out of jail free card in Ohio! Sorry he didnt have time for your class Mr. Judge, his hands were full with throwing 4 touchdowns against Syracuse. I think the Judge clearly jumped off the bandwagon when they brought former starter Tony Pike in down in the redzone to score the touchdowns this past week.
Kevin Garnett Making It Rain
Shout out to Trevor Brown aka T Dog for this video. Kevin Garnett hits an almost full court shot... that doesnt count. Nevertheless, a sick play by him.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
(Begin playing BuckCherry's "Crazy Bitch")... Now I realize this is somewhat old news but New Mexico women's soccer player Elizabeth Lambert has broken her silence about her actions in a game against BYU. In the game, she went ape shit and started beating ass, no lie.
Hey Elizabeth, fyi, they are Mormons.
She granted an interview to the NY Times where she tried to defend herself. I cant really say it worked. "I think the way the video came out, it did make me look like a monster." was how she defended herself. You think? You think the way the video came out made you look like a monster? Honestly. This ones a slam dunk. I dont think the way the video came out made you look like a monster. No I dont think that at all. I think the way you did your best Manny Pacquiao impression on that girl's face made you look like monster.
Anyway, here is a post of the video of this girl going beast mode.

Mangino Loves to Touch
Kansas Jayhawks football Coach Mark Mangino has been under some fire the past couple of days over allegations of abuse of his players. Today, things arent getting better for him. Some of his former players have stepped up and confirmed the allegations.
Below is a quote from former WR Raymond Brown about what Mangino said to him after dropping a pass:
(Right after his brother had been shot in St. Louis)
"I dropped a pass and [Mangino] was mad," Brown said. "And I said, 'Yes, sir. Yes, sir.' The yelling didn't bother me. But then he said, 'Shut up!' He said, 'If you don't shut up, I'm going to send you back to St. Louis so you can get shot with your homies.' I was irate. I wanted to hurt him to be honest with you."
If you ask me, that right there deserves punch to the face. Square in the shnoz.
I think we all know why Mangino is so fat now. He probably insulted Jenny Craig too.
Well, that, or his players keep sneaking into his snack drawer and thats whats pissing him off.
And for a little comparison...

Excessive Celebration
Typical Swedish hockey right here. The player, Hendrik Andersen, succesfully avoided any contact on his way to the net. Shot a nice shot around the goalie. And then proceded to excessively celebrate. Maybe not his fault...
BTW... His first goal of the year.

Silly Charlie
I do believe Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis is sadly mistaken. Earlier this week in a press conference he said he doesnt believe the fate of his job has been decided. Uh... Charles... really? Do you really that think TWO games are going to decide your coaching status at ND? Sorry Charlie, but ND is not just going to forget your previous 60 games. Two games isnt going to determine the rest of his tenure there, especially losing to Navy 2 weeks ago (2nd loss in 3 years to them). I do believe his fate has been sealed. I also feel pretty good that he is done after this year. There are more than enough candidates to take his spot, and frankly he just isnt cutting it.
Follow my lesson:
In the past 7 seasons...
Team 1: 2 losing seasons, 1-5 bowl record
Team 2: 1 losing season, 3-3 bowl record
Team 1? Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Team 2? Virginia Cavaliers
Enough said.

Brady Quinn Fined
Brady Quinn is now paying for his dirty hit on Terrell Suggs. It came out earlier today that Quinn's hit on Suggs has left him with a partially torn MCL and he is going to have to sit a few weeks. Brady Quinn said he has been fined a "good amount". I am pretty happy about this. Not because Brady Quinn gets his due but because out of fear for his life and what we know Ray Lewis is capable of (on the field... and outside of clubs).
It sucks that Suggs has to miss time over this scummy play. Do you think the league is going to institute the Brady Rule #2 now?

LeBron Catching Passes From Brady Quinn?
After the Clevland Browns 8th embarrassing loss of the season, reporters went to LeBron James. Why not? He is the king. The questions they asked him were about playing football in the NFL. LeBron was quoted as saying, "If I put all my time and commitment into it, if I dedicated myself to the game of football, I could be really good." Oh how humble LeBron. LeBron goes 6'8, 250 lbs. For comparison, Antonio Gates is listed as 6'4, 260lbs. At LBJ's size, I think it would be smarter to stick him at left tackle. I mean if he caught a pass he would only try to crab dribble the basketball, duh?
Here is little snip of LeBron in high school playing football. Not bad hands really...

Supporting The Troops
This nice young woman I like to refer to as my girlfriend brought a great website to my attention. The website is Lets Say Thanks. The website sends cards from online to our troops overseas. Its sponsored by Xerox that lets you pick a card, a message, sign your name and send it to the troops. Its pretty easy and takes about a minute. Thought I would throw it out there. Its something nice to do regardless of your view point on the war.

Jauron... Ja-gone.
Dick Jauron was fired today by the Buffalo Bills. Did we not see this coming for the worst offense in the NFL? Jauron was 3-5 this season, and an impressive 24-33 since 2006. I do feel bad for the guy, however, he lost his offensive coordinator in the preseason. Cant be easy.
If Jauron wanted to put together a resume of negatives it would look like this:
- Never had a better record than 7-9
- The offense is currently scoring a touch over 15 points a game
- The Bills have had less than 300 yards a game in 8 of 9 games this year
- Their QB has only thrown for over 200 yards once this season
- The Bills are about to miss the playoffs for a 10th straight season
If Jauron wanted to put together a resume together of positives it would look like this:
- He shut Terrell Owens the hell up
Seriously though, has anyone else forgotten that TO still plays in the NFL? I am not trying to hate but where has he been? Sure, the Bills offense sucks but TO has been an absolute no show. 26 catches for 366 yards and ONE touchdown. My 6 year old cousin has better numbers than that in his Saturday Flag Football League. TO also has the same number of receiving touchdowns as rushing touchdown... ONE. Thats a total of TWO touchdowns by TO. Now you know why we havent heard from the loud mouth. He has nothing to talk about.
(I understand he has been a little banged up... boo hoo)

Sure, the Bills offense sucks but TO has been an absolute no show. 26 catches for 366 yards and ONE touchdown. My 6 year old cousin has better numbers than that in his Saturday Flag Football League. TO also has the same number of receiving touchdowns as rushing touchdown... ONE. Thats a total of TWO touchdowns by TO. Now you know why we havent heard from the loud mouth. He has nothing to talk about.
(I understand he has been a little banged up... boo hoo)
Serious Cat Fight
Sorry for all the posts about soccer (football for European weirdos). I dont know what it is but I just keep coming across soccer. Ill try to diversify. Amen.
Here is a video of a girls high school soccer game. Things get wild at the end of the game and it looks like a Baltimore City gang fight.
Number 13 in white? Wearing a doo-rag. Guy? Girl? It? I dunno but she is beating some ass.

The U Strikes Again
Following up my post about the U's football squad, a buddy of mine brought another team from the U to my attention. The U's Boys Soccer Team is currently ranked 7th in ESPN's Fab 50 for high school soccer. Thats pretty legit. They are the highest ranked team in PA on the Fab 50 (I mean they are #7) with a record of 22-2-1. They are waiting to play in the state semi's this week, subsequently against another Fab 50 team Father Judge (#10). Trust me, Judge is not that sweet though from word on the street.
My personal connection to this story is the U's boys soccer coach was my middle school basketball coach (Yea, this kid could ball). I know for fact he runs a tight ship. Miss a lay up on his team, I dare you.

The Return of Ovie
Stevey Burke's Washington Caps got their main man, Alex Ovechkin, back tonight against the NY Rangers. I cant say I am a huge Ovie fan because I think he is obnoxiously cocky but I guess he deserves to be. Also, how the hell does this gremlin lookalike get women? Supposedly he cleans up down in DC (top floor Rhino?). Whatever, power to him.
I guess this guy deserves the pub he gets because he showed up tonight and notched his league leading 15th goal in the Caps win. By the way, he has only played in 14 games. Where you at Sid the Kid?
And for all you Happy Gilmore fans out there... (told you he was ugly!)

Owned
When I used to play soccer back in the day, I was once told it wasnt an uncommon tactic for the goalie on a PK to try to sike out a guy taking the kick. Clearly, this goalie here is trying his hardest for a sike out. The end result is priceless.

Lacrosse in Louisiana
This past summer, I traveled down to Shreveport, Louisiana where Centenary College Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Michael Brand allowed me to work with some of Louisiana's finest at the Centenary College Lacrosse Camp. There are only 13 high school teams in LA, yet the numbers at the camp were astounding. It was a great experience bringing lacrosse down to Louisiana, not to mention the food and night life (a whole different story).
Over the weekend, Coach Brand led the Centenary College Gentlemen (pretty sick nickname) down to Texas A&M, where they took 2nd in the tournament. The Gents beat Austin College (Texas) and St. Eds (Texas) by a combined score of 16-4. They lost to Sam Houston State in the finals, locking up 2nd place. Goalie Daniel Ewing had a strong showing, standing on his head in the net at times. Rob Grand and Matt Volentine put up big numbers from the midfield. All while meathead defenseman Alex Tan played exceptionally well for being concussed and struggling to even remember the games he played in.
Not bad for team only in their 2nd year of the MCLA. Look for big things from the Gents coming up this season. Rumor has it they could make the jump to Division III in the next couple year. Lax in Louisiana? Could be.
Here's a pic of the Gents holding up their 2's in Texas

Bears Fans Play Good D Too
Every now and then you come across a story thats pretty interesting. Some for different reasons than others.
A Steelers fan ventured up to Chicago back in September to catch the game. After the game, like any normal football fan, him and his buddies went out drinking. And, like any normal football fans, they started talking smack to the Bears fans.
The story gets interesting when the guy claims that after they talked their talk and settled their differences, one of the Bears fans handed him a drink laced with... poison? Yea, thats what this guy is saying. Whether you believe it or not, the Steelers fan is now claiming to be blind and have brain damage. He said after he consumed the drink, he passed out and woke up in the hospital.
Talk about a new generation of warfare. Move over roofies (or floories), here come the poison. Its not longer date rape, its date murder. Man, when someone talks shit to you, your just going to poison them? What happened to the good old fashioned right hook?

Ray Ray Calls Out Brady Quinn
If any of you caught the less than thrilling Monday Night game last night, you might have seen this play. After Brady Quinn threw his second INT of the game (13-31, 99 yds, 2 Int's, sick game Brady), he proceeded to stay in the play and dive malaciously at Terrell Suggs' knees. Lets just say that was a big turn of events. 1. Suggs' sprained his knee on the play and is now out for some time. 2. Brady Quinn received a 15 yard penalty. 3. Brady Quinn pissed Ray Lewis off so bad that I firmly believe he will need to enter the witness protection program.I mean seriously, we all know what Ray is capable of. Ray Ray called BQ out after the game saying it was no doubt a cheap shot.
I cant say I disagree. That was bottom line pathetic. I understand that things happen in the heat of the moment but Quinn clearly had that one lined and up and thought out. That was dirtier than your typical Friday night jersey chaser. I hope the league fines him pretty heavily. He cost Suggs significant playing time.
My last point of contention is all the league is doing to protect the quarterbacks. Its turned into patty cake in the pocket. Definitely a double standard now. Brady Quinn cant be have more than one hand put on him in the pocket but he can dive at some guys knees? Child please.

Are You Kidding Me?
This kid is 5. Cinco. Cinq. V. However, you want to say it. Unbelievable.
BREAKING NEWS: Matt Drenan just tried to adopt him. Couldnt get a valid visa for him.
Someone might want to call the Romanian Child Protection Services and make sure they confiscate all the roid vials outta these peoples house. Wouldnt want the kid to step on one and hurt his foot.

A.I. - Terminated.
Could this be the end? After Allen Iverson sat out 3 games due to personal matters, the Grizz terminated his contract. Well, it was mutual. Its gotta make you wonder... Is this the end for AI? In September, the Memphis Grizzlies signed AI, who is 34, to a 1 year- $3 mill contract that left him to make his money through incentives. He was greeted nicely when he arrived in Memphis and actually had decent #3 Grizz jersey sales this fall.
Iverson never played in a Grizzlies home game. Who's the retard now?
Ill keep you updated on what goes down. I have a feeling its the end of the road for this 10 time All-Star. Just in case, and as a Philly fan (I feel like I am repeating myself), I am preparing to put together an AI tribute.
Oh, I know none of you forgot about this... "We're talkin' bout PRACTICE?!"

Bernard Scott Scores ACU an A
Did you know there is a college that every player from there who plays in the NFL has returned a kick for a touchdown? Its true. Who is the college? The college is Abilene Christian University in Texas. The three players? Bernard Scott of the Bengals, Johnny Knox of the Bears and Danieal Manning of the Bears. Knox scored on a 102 yard KO return against the Lions (untouched, of course) early this year. Manning housed an 83 yarder last year. Bernard Scott completed the trifecta, 3/3, 100%, KO success rate for ACU this past Sunday, scoring on a 96 yard return against the Steelers. Thank God Scott returned that kick or else the Bengals/Steelers game would have been ridiculously boring instead of just pretty boring.
ACU is showing up in the KO return game. Where you at USC? Florida? Texas?

On TV
Although I am a loyal Penn State fan, I was in attendance for the Ohio State-Wisconsin football game at the Horse Shoe. Their fans cant cheer half as loud or half as well as the Penn State fans. We were lucky enough to have front row seats in the corner/endzone and saw some great action. After a TD pass was caught right in front of us, we started a small riot in the stands. The camera turned and looked up at us and BOOM- instant stardom. National TV.
Here is a pic that has been captured off a DVR. Pretty Sick.
I know what you all are thinking... it is pretty weird seeing Scoot Noot without any Ravens gear on.

Pacquiao Doing It All
Great fight on Saturday night. I wasnt in a position (not enough TV's where I was) to watch the whole fight. I know thats kind of a lame excuse but shut up. The fighters danced for the first 5 or 6 and then you could notice Pac really taking the upper hand. His speed and power combination was no match for Cotto. Cotto dropped his guard early and it burned him. The ref bailed him out in the 12th after an onslaught by Pac.
A couple things about the fight:
- Cotto was a 3:1 favorite heading in
- The fight brought in more than $82 Million in viewing sales
- There was a total to close to 1.5 Million Pay Per View purchases
- Pacquiao took home much of the purse at around $13 million.... Oh, thats before the $82 mill is split up.
- Pacquiao held a concert in Vegas after he won. Sporting his war wounds and a bandaged ear he sang "La Bamba" among other things. Who said stamina is a problem for him?
- The TKO of Cotto was Pac's 50th career win

A Rock and A Hard Place
By now, I am sure most sports fans have seen the ending to the Pats/Colts game. Sorry again Steve Boyle. Anyway, a lot of people are questioning Belichick's call on 4th and 2 from his own 28. I am going to step up and defend him here. The Colts scoring drives in the 4th quarter were of 79 and 79 yards. One took 2:04 and the other took 1:49. Peyton Manning was firey hot and I think going for it is the right call. To be honest, is there much difference between giving Peyton Manning the ball 28 yards away or 80 yards away? To be honest, there isnt much of a difference. Peyton showed that he had the offense moving and Belichick simply didnt want to put the ball in his hands again. Cant blame him for that. When Peyton is hot, the Indy O operates like a machine. If they make that fourth down, worst case scenario is Indy gets the ball back with anywhere from 15-30 seconds left with no timeouts and Peyton deep in his own territory.
And I dont think Belichick dissed his defense by going for it (contrary to Bruschi's belief). If the Pats had the ball, the Colts cant score. Dont be dicks (Bruschi is clearly suffering from Schizophrenia from all his concussions) and take offense to that. Its smart coaching. Granted some people didnt like the and 4th and 2 call, but I want to credit Belichick for at least having the balls to want to ice the game away without any real threat.
I thought it was pretty funny that Rodney Harrison ripped Belichick, too. Some real loyalty there, Rodney.

Bud Adams Gets Worked
As I posted below, Titans Owner Bud Adams had some unique gesturing towards the Bills fans on Sunday. Well, now its costing Bud $250k. Can't say I am surprised. Lets forgive Bud though, he is 86, his eye sight is clearly poor enough to not notice Roger Goodell in the house, anddd he also deserves a pass because honestly, do 86 year olds know what the middle finger even means? I through it up to my Pop Pop one time and he thought I was a dumbass who couldnt count correctly on my fingers.
But hey, at least he can manage to get that up without help at age 86.
Look at the poor old guy... does he look like a senior citizen that even knows where he is?

Scud Bud
Titan's Owner Bud Adams had a pretty funny celebration during the Titans victory on Sunday. With the game in hand with two late pick-6's, Bud Adams flashed a hook 'em Horns sign (in support of Vince Young) and then followed that up with the birdy finger. You know what they say, never trust a guy with two beer names.
Roger Goodell was actually in attendance. Let's see how much this one is going to cost Bud.

Head Coach Ricky Jimmy
I wanted to kick this Monday morning off with a funny vid for those of you suffering from a case of the "Mondays". Well... and also to buy myself some more time to get my thoughts together with a big Monday morning check in. This video is a little older, but rarely seen. I assure you that it is hilarious. The speaker is Ronny Lott's high school football coach, Ricky Jimmy. Played by none other than Will Ferrell.
If you are watching this in a public place be careful... you might get pee pants.

What a game! Sorry to Steve Boyle for his Pat's late collapse. Belichick with a pretty questionable call there. But then again I dont think he would be where he is today with out rolling the dice a few times. He just came up craps this time.
Peyton Manning= Instant Offense/Instance Greatness
Ill be back tomorrow (Monday) with some new stuff, including Pats/Colts, Pacquiao's beatdown of Cotto and whatever funny nonsense I can get my hands on.
Peace out.
PS. In case any of you care about... wait for it... Womens Golf/LPGA, Michelle Wie won her first tourney ever today. Remember when she was all hype?
Sorry to any manly men out there who I offended by posting an article about women sports.

Tom Cable Keeping His Pimp Hand Strong
After another heartbreaking loss in a shoot out (16-10) today against the powerhouse KC Chiefs in the Toilet Bowl, Raiders head coach Tom Cable learned that he is NOT going to be disciplined by the NFL for his woman beating antics. Man, you gotta love that. First he cold cocks his assistant breaking his jaw, then dodges allegations of beating two former girlfriends and THEN openly admits he has hit a woman before. Still, WITHOUT repercussions. Only in America people. Wait, is it legal if they deserved it?
Dont worry... the league didnt miss Chad OchoJohnson holding that dollar bill in his hand. $20K, pay up.
Disclaimer: YEA, I KNOW, the Eagles did lose to the Raiders but I can still rip Tom Cable if I feel like it.
Another disclaimer: Please dont hit women. Thank you.

If You Wanna Win... Put Vince Young In
As my buddy Bob P (accurately) stated... So what if Vince Young is a functional retard? HE WINS. Vinny Y put up 210 and a TD against the... well, Bills. But who cares? A wins a win. Yea, getting 200+ all purpose yards from Chris Johnson helped, but it seems like the Titans are having a bit of a resurgence, ripping off 3 straight wins after starting 0-6. Vince has gotten some confidence back (lets not mention his suicide attempt) and is playing decently enough to get the wins. He is managing well, about as well as you have to manage to run a successful McDonalds.
Vince Young goes hard... On and off the field. Get it Vince!

Saw a good friend and former teammate of mine out on Friday night. Austin Walker (you may have heard of his dad, Wes Walker, all-time great NY Jets Wide Receiver), better known as DeeJay AWOL has been doing his own independent music thing. Making some beats and producing some stuff. I told him I just started a blog so I would throw some of his stuff up. He has been featured on a couple NY radio stations where he hails from. Check his stuff out below. Kids got some talent.

Quick Story
Last night, I ventured down to Canton Square in Downtown Baltimore. My sister was visiting for her friends birthday and they headed out to this nice spot called Caladdaghs (pronounced Colada/man, I should get payed for all these plugs I do). I figured I would check out the scene, say happy birthday and have a drink. Caladdagh's consists of an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs is more of a dancefloor type area. So we ventured up there at one point. One of the first things I noticed (was a bit hard not to) was some gang banger waving a towel above his head while dancing. Okay, yea, that was pretty interesting. Didnt really pay much mind to it until... out of no where, I hear a dog barking. Naturally, I was like WTF?! I look around, and wouldnt you know but Mr. Towel-Wavin'-Guy was breaking it down on the dance flo' while simutameously barking like a dog. I mean this guy had skillZ... dance moves, towel wavin' and dog barkin'? Come on, you dont even see that in the movies!
Oh yea, the song playing was "3" by Brittany Spears. Dead Serious.

USC= University of a Serious Collapse
Another weekend of college football passed. And another pitiful USC loss. Humiliating, embarrassing, disheartening and effortless, do these words describe USC's losses? Is it wrong to say that people are almost expecting them to lose now?
Just to show you how bad it is:
- Giving up 55 points at home and losing by 34 Saturday was the worst loss since 1966. My Dad was 7.
- USC has given up 111 points in the last 3 games
- USC is ranked No. 22 in the AP Poll. Worst in 7 years. They are now in same area as Utah, Rutgers and.... Houston...
- Two of USC's last 3 losses have been the worst in the Pete Carroll Era.
In all fairness, a 2 loss USC team could still beat a lot of teams out there. Two losses by USC is a down season by their standards. But now with this 3rd loss I cant say that all the criticism is unwarranted. Mind you, these arent just "loses" either, these are some serious beatdowns.
You know what they say... All good things must come to an end. Sorry Pete.
How Do You Spend Your Free Time? Ghosting?
My roommate Sam brought this video to my attention. A couple guys, who I think are Australian, or something weird, go about and practice this new sport called ghosting. Check it out.... You gotta scroll to about 2:15 to start the action. Hilarious...
Back to Business
Sorry about no new material yesterday. Out of respect for the boys from The U, I wanted my last post to reign supreme for awhile. I know I got a lot of positive feed back from it and I know there is a nice little buzz going around about this team now, so I only thought it was right just to let that sit there for awhile for everyone to pass around.
Anyway, I'm just getting moving today and I got a couple of things in my head that I need to scratch out so look for those the rest of today.
... Including a guy last night dancing by himself and barking like a dog.

Don't Call It An Upset
A little high school football check in here. My alma mater Unionville High School (or better known as "The U") pulled off the biggest upset (strictly from a seeding standpoint I remind you) last night in Pennsylvania Football history. The No. 15 Unionville Indians traveled by bus an hour and half and shocked the No. 2 Pennsbury Whoever's by a score of 12-7.
To give you a little background... Unionville was 1-3 a few weeks back following a couple of heartbreaking loses, one of which to 4A rival Garnet Valley (who was also upset last night, cant say I am too sad about that either). The U ripped off 6 straight wins and snuck in the 4A playoffs having (clearly) a ton of momentum.
So I take you to last night. In driving rain, playing in a quagmire, having just lost a two way starter the day before the game and having everyone doubting them, The U beat Pennsbury at their own game, pounding the ball down Pennsbury's throat and busting heads on defense. Pennsbury had some serious size (300 lb kids) and talent (couple D1 guys) and a 1000 yard rusher. But Unionville busted out their signature option ground attack (Yeup, just like the one that helped Navy beat Notre Dame). The U took the lead in the 3rd quarter on a 9 yard TD run by Mason Popham and stopped Pennsbury on 4 straight plays from their own 9 with less than a minute to go in the game. The final play came from their own 4 when they snuffed out a stretch play with about 30 seconds remaining. Pandemonium ensued.
Here is the article from the Winner's newspaper.
...And the losers.
Here is a pic I snagged from Pennsbury's Newspaper...
Oh... and this one too.... (not even joking)
But in good taste, congrats to Pennsbury. Theyare were supposedly a pretty good team and were the Suburban One League Champs in the regular season.
I want to shout out Head Coach Clark, Defensive Coordinator Coach Kelley and LB's/Hype Coach Coach O'Neill. Coach Clark had a great game plan going up their and DEFINITELY had the kids believing. Holding a team like Pennsbury to 7 points is something to be mentioned, as is the efforts of the Defensive Coordinator Coach Kel. And this goes without mentioning, but certainly Coach Harry O'Neill had the juices flowing with his motivational tactics.

Pacquiao/Cotto
This fight is tomorrow night. Im gonna be honest, I wanna see Pac get ROCKED. Dont ask me why. Just when I look at him, I wanna punch his face in. Also, because he has taken down every other boxer I like. To be fair to Pac, I dont really get into boxing all that much but when Pacquiao fights it is usually something worth watching.
Pacquiao weighed in at 144
Cotto weighed in at 145
The weight of the two of them combined doesnt even compare to the McDonald's Era American man's average weight.
Anyhow... HBO's fight preview. Good stuff.

Tucker Max Again
Because I have an extreme case of ADHD and I have posted more things than assignments I have done this semester, I wanna make sure to tell you to read below about how Tucker Max came to Hopkins. Funny pic too.
Nova WildCats Football
So I posted about Noel Devine earlier but then I came across something...
I used to play football back in the day with this cat named Freddy Maldonado in the good old LAFA football league. We ran things to say the least (What up Fred!). Fred starts at safety right now for Villanova.
You know at the begining of every year how the 1-AA teams play all the 1-A teams. Well last year Nova got a shot at WVU and Fred got a shot at Noel. Im not gonna say how the play ended up but Ill show you the pic. Nova lost 35-21 btw.
Freddy is rockin' number 39 in white.

Ill State of Mind (Philly Remix)
Jay-Z's new hit song New York State of Mind is pretty good. But as a real Philly Fan I'm not supporting that bullshit. So check out this remix by this white kid NeeKo. I have no idea who he is but a white kid that is pretty good at rapping always has a page in my book. Peep his style.
Shout Out to Some Boys in Iraq
Yea this is a sports blog but you can never give even shout outs to our guys in the Military.
I wanna give a BIG shout out to a buddy Paul "Trey" Taylor and his company out in Iraq. Paul is a huge Hopkins Lax fan and always has something good to say to me. Paul is in his second deployment right now.
So shout out to Paul and the rest of Bravo Companty, 3rd Ranger Battalion, 1st Cav Division. Keep doing it big for us.
Here is a pic of them.

Captain Celek!
As a big Eagles fan I thought this was great. Brent Celek the Philly Tight End got a little captain in him after he got to pay dirt on Sunday Night. Celek caught a 15 yard hanky for it (big deal). It seemed like a great and original (and tasty) celebration. In fact though, it was Guerilla Advertising by Captain Morgan. Celek initially denied being connected to CM but after following the paper trail, Celek was in on it the whole time. Well, the NFL (No Fun League) put the big ole KAYBASH on that real quick of course. No more Captain poses says the league. I mean, come on, we would actually see something entertaining for once?! No chance fellas.
P.S. WTF Jason Avant? Let Celek do his thing, get out of the picture. I HATE guys that ruin end zone dances.

Shout out to Andy McSweeney for the inspiration.

West Virginia vs. Cincy Tonight
Personally I think Cincy may be a little over hyped. I have been a big West Virginia fan for some time. Ever since the good old days of Pat White and Steve Slaton. Even saw them live lose to Pitt a couple years back to piss away their Natty Champ hopes. But anyway Cincy/WVU play tonight. Gotta show you somethin... If you havent seen it or if you need a refresher... Noel Devines high school highlight video...
Now you can pick your jaw up off the ground.

LeBron's tribute to an A-Hole
So either LBJ is trying some type of publicity stunt or he is turning into a huge tool. Yea, I said it. If you havent read, LeBron wants all players in the league wearing number 23 to switch to a different number out of respect of Michael Jordan. ...Really? I mean.... Really...? You may not share the name dislike for MJ that I do but just allow me to point you to his Hall of Fame Induction speech (posted below). His exhaustive bash at about 30 people and thanks to 6, yes 6 (I think), is a pompous way of being detrimental to basketball. That pisses me off. Yea, MJ, you were the best. Now do something good for the game and dont act like a dick.
What made me happy tho is how Rick Reilly RIPS Jordan in an ESPN blog post. I lovedddd it. Shows how much of an ass Jordan was with his speech. Be Like Mike? No Thanks.
Here is LeBrons idea.... from ESPN.com
And Jordans actual speech for those of you who wanna puke...
That Dude Had Me Fooled
On another non sporty spice topic...So we all have heard about bubble boy or balloon boy or waste of an hour of our lives or whatever you wanna call it. Karma Baby! They are getting charges pressed. I mean hey Im not gonna lie... if the news was all over me for a couple days, I would love it. But since it didnt happen to me... IM PISSED that I had to watch that nonsense and actually think a kids life was in danger.
But I mean look at this guy.... Did we really expect anything different?

They Volunteered Themselves for Robbery

Gimme Your Money
They try to rob a guy, dont even get his money or drugs, now faces charges and cant play? HA. You gotta be kidding me. Tennessee Football=Cant Win Anything

Tucker Max Goes to Hopkins
On a non sports related note... Tucker Max (if you dont know who this ridiculous womanizer/asshole/saint is) decided to make an appearance at the good ol' Johnny Hop. Why you ask? Well we are still wondering the same things ourselves. Anyway, did you really think he would show up without making any noise? You better believe he did. His talk was lackluster (so I hear) but he redeemed himself in the social scene. Lets just say... Midget.
And if you are familiar with Hopkins... YES that is PJ's Pub.
The Video
I decided to not be lazy and actually post the video...
Warning, if you are a Cavs fan... Cover your eyes.

Chad being Chad
Well if you havent turned on your TV yet today or have decided to temporarily put yourself under a rock then you havent seen that Chad Spanish 85 has been fined again. Yup, Roger GODdell used his executive powers to further diminish the league. I cant stand it. Hey Roger... CHAD IS GETTING YOU THE RATINGS. I think its great that he wants to Fed Ex his opponents some pepto or something the week of a game. Its a showmans league so let them show. $20,000 is a little much for him holding a dollar bill on the sideline. Dont like this one.
