Happy Crappy Monday

Happy Crappy Monday to all of you. Today marks the first of many rants and raves that will cover the past weekend’s events in the Downtown Atlanta are involving Sports, Entertainment, and whatever else deserves to be mentioned. Each Monday Morning, I will cover the Top 10 things that have caught my attention over the weekend, and explain why they deserve to be discussed. Feel Free to comment or send an email response if you have a different opinion on the matter, we would love to hear you complain…….

And now… The Top 10 from the weekend…. Courtesy of yours truly…..


1. Michael Turner, It is week 6

Can someone please let Michael Turner know that the NFL season has begun, and he needs to start playing. Yet again, the Falcons traveled to Philadelphia and was beat down like a red headed stepchild. Michael Turner, who was a stud only 2 years ago, rocked the rushing column with 45 yards rushing. That’s not going to get it done in the NFL. Along with the MIA rushing game, if I have to see Matt Ryan throw a swing pass or check down one more time, I’m going to start seeing how far in the drywall I can smash my head. You would think with the 3 time pro Bowl receiver Roddy White, and Tony, I never get old Gonzalez on the roster, you may be able to stretch the field a couple of plays a game.

2. Cody Ross= Stud

This one is going to be short, sweet, and to the point. Please inform the Atlanta Braves that you CAN make great in season moves, and pick up big hitting outfielders. The braves decided to go out and get the Big Bat of RICK ANKIEL, while the still in the playoffs Giants decided to pick up Cody Ross from the “You know everyone of our players is always available” Florida Marlins. Shocker they are still in the playoffs.

3. Cam Newton has already Made Room for his Heisman

Cam Newton proved that he is a baller, and has already made room for his Heisman trophy on his fireplace. The kid is a beast, and is easily running and passing through every team in the SEC. What makes it even better, is he left Florida after the worshiped Tim Tebow decided to come back for his senior year. That has to put a smile on everyone’s face that pulls for a team in the SEC East other than Florida.


4. BCS DOES GET IT RIGHT

The first BCS Standings were released, and they DID get it right. Oklahoma is ranked number one, followed by Oregon and then Boise State. After a week of having to hear that Boise State was going to be number one, they are third, which is about 4 spots higher than they need to be. See what happens when you play actual college football teams, you get rewarded. My only question, really, Auburn gets no love….?

5. Must See, JACKASS 3D and Social Network

Get out and go to the movies and go see JACKASS 3D, and the Social Network. Both make you feel really stupid, being that The Jackass Guys make millions for doing stupid things to their selves, and the kid who created Facebook made BILLIONS being drunk one night in his dorm room. Either way, they are def. worth the money to see.

6. Moondogs and Peachtree Tavern

Switched it up this weekend, and made a trip out to a couple of different bars in Buckhead to hear some good Music. Haven’t been to the Tavern or Moondogs in a while, but had a good time. Haven’t switched it up in a while, but it was fun, and I give both a solid grade of a B for talent level and prices.

7. Someone is going to DIE Soon

I took a big swig of Ice Cold Sweet Tea during the Falcons and Eagles game Sunday and spit it all over the floor when Dunta Robinson tried to take the head off of Receiver Desean Jackson. Honestly, I didn’t think there was a chance he would get up. I don’t know how, or what can be done, but if something isn’t changed on helmet to helmet collisions, someone is going to die in an NFL game very soon. The good news is both guys got up and were helped off the field, but both looked like they had no clue what planet they were walking on.

8. Good Hire Braves

I’m good with the Hire of Fredi Gonzalez. He has already said two things that I like to hear, We need more speed, and we need a big bat. That’s good enough for me so far…..

9. Baseball Playoffs, Good and Bad

I love Baseball, I love Playoff Baseball, but I also love football. Why try and compete if you are the MLB. People love to watch the NFL, why not make the games for the baseball playoffs during the week. I read a stat that during a playoff baseball game last Sunday night, TBS reports a 4.2 market share. For a Sunday night football game in SAN FRANSICO, the then0-4 49ers, Sunday night football and NBC reported a 12.3. So stop trying to compete, you got not chance vs. the NFL.




And last but certainly not least,

10. South Carolina, is still South Carolina

South Carolina football lit up ESPN and all media networks with their upset when over then #1 Alabama. Oh how things can change in just 7 days. The Gamecocks proved they are the same team they have always been. First they showed that they have all of their eggs in one basket with Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore was responsible for virtually all of the South Carolina offense in the first half, which resulted in 28 points. After spraining his ankle in the second half, the Gamecock offense was nonexistent. Steve Spurrier went from coach of the week to goat of the week after deciding to have Steven Garcia lob a toilet paper roll into the end zone to a redshirt freshman who I don’t think has put his mouthpiece in this year. #1, how about tell your quarterback to throw it to where only your receiver can get the ball, or don’t throw it at all. And #2, last time I checked, Alshon Jeffery was still on the roster. He may only be the best receiver in the SEC, why not throw it his way. Either way, things never change. At least Florida lost this weekend too, but if we play the way we did in the second half, we are going to get smoked in the swamp.

That is it for this week. I’m sure to have some good for you next Monday after a good Road trip to Nashville this weekend. Peace Out.
