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.

Sunday Night Football

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!

DJ Spin That...

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.



And for all the ladies out there. AWOL put together a little Britteny Spears mix...

The Man Behind the Mullet

I dont know whats better, Jared Allen's mullet or Jared Allen's sack celebration. Here is an NFL.com video strictly about his mullet. Classic.

Excuse Me, But Is There a Dog in Here?

 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. They are 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.

Good Job Boys
