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)


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?!"
