Happy Crappy Monday Morning Volume 5

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……

Another weekend is in the books, and that means it is time for another Happy Crappy Monday Morning. Only this one is an extremely HAPPY Crappy Monday. Although the weather is terrible outside, and everyone is back at the office, Lot’s of great things happened over the weekend. Here it is boys and girls, another Monday Morning Top 10…. Enjoy.

1. When You are Good, You are GOOD…..

For those of you who took the time to read Friday morning’s article, then you already know. If you didn’t take the time, then #1 thanks for nothing, and #2, you will see that I am a pretty damn good. Here is a recap of what I’m talking about. This was written Friday Morning:


South Carolina vs. Florida - Alright, this is it for South Carolina. It is time to either do your business, or get off the pot. There is no secret that the winner of this game goes to Atlanta to play for the SEC Championship. It’s time for Steve Spurrier to earn all that money that he makes. This team has an opportunity to do something that no other South Carolina team has ever done. There are three keys to the game the way I see it.

A. Marcus Lattimore- The kid has to be 100% healthy, and has to run with the same fire he did against Georgia. This is the game to prove why you were a 5 Star Back.

B. Stopping the Run-Although South Carolina’s pass defense can only be found on milk cartons these days, I think stopping the run is the key to the game. Let’s make Florida pass over the top, make them win the way the struggle.

C. Turnovers- I’m going to go on record and say this: If South Carolina has at most 1 turnover, they will win the game. Cut and dry, if we protect the football, I feel we have the talent to outplay Florida.

Like I said, when you are good you are good. Lattimore lit up Florida for 217 yards and 3 touchdowns. As for Florida’s offense, there was none. Stopping the run shut them down. Florida ended the game with 35 rushing yards, TOTAL. At the end of the day, I said turnovers are what win ballgames. I knew if we had less than one turnover, the game would be won by South Carolina. Final turnover total by SC=0.



2. Credit Where Credit is Due….

Let me tell you something, let’s put all “allegations” aside. Cam Newton is a superstar. The man is the best football player in college football, period. If anyone else wins the Heisman, it is fraud. The Heisman is rewarded to the best ON FIELD performer throughout the year. That man is CAM. Don’t get me wrong, I have given hell to Auburn about the scandal and what not, but this kid can play some football.

3. 24 Hours of Basketball
What better way to kick off a college basketball season than 24 hours of college basketball. This is a tradition that ESPN started a few years ago, where they will continuously show live college of basketball for 24 hours. I got to give some credit to the colleges that were cool with the idea of planning college basketball games early in the morning, just to be a part of the action. There are a couple of good games to look out for: (3) Kansas St. vs. (21) Virginia Tech, (4) Ohio St. vs. (9) Florida, and (25) San Diego State vs. (12) Gonzaga.

4. Miranda Lambert, CMAs….


Banging, that’s all I’m saying…. Banging….

5. How Bout them Dirty Birds I don’t know any team in the NFL that needs home field in the playoffs more than the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan seems to figure out a way to win every game, regardless of the situation. Thursday night he orchestrated yet another come from behind win against the Ravens. The kid led the team 85 yards in 1:14 to win the game. Matty “Ice” is 18-1 at home in his career.

6. How about them Cowgirls? Well, not only was Wayde Phillps fired, but this past weekend he was slapped in the face. The Cowboys came out and beat the NY Giants Sunday afternoon. The slap in the face is that the Cowboys played with the same team they have been playing with all season, except they actually played this weekend. New Coach Jason Garrett said that he changed some rules this week, requiring players to jog when changing drills, and requiring them to be on time to meetings. I mean really, why weren’t they doing this to begin with? You pay me $1,000,000 and I’ll be at meetings 4 hours early with coffee brewing for everyone.

7. Short Work Months…. When I was younger, having a short month or a holiday was a great thing. I always looked forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. But in reality, when you have a sales quota and other requirements for your job, having a shortened month is a bitch. There is a lot crammed into this final week of November, being that no one is going to be working next week, and if they are working, they will not be accomplishing much. Short work months sucks…

8. SEC Championship Tickets…. They are impossible. This is one of the hottest tickets in the country. Anyone have any leads or ideas on how to get tickets, let me know.

9. Monday Night Football…

Monday night football should be a good game tonight. With the Eagles, you have a Quarterback who is playing better football than he has ever played before. Michael Vick is playing the position out of his mind, almost like he knows how he plays this season decides how much money he will make next year. And on the other side of the ball, McNabb, who seems to be every teams favorite person to blame. I think the guy is a good quarterback, who had some solid years in Philly. He derserves a little respect. But they gave him hell in Philly, and Shanahan seems to be giving him hell this year.

10. The Top 10 in the Top 10

It is again time for the Top 10 in the Top 10… Last week I did my top 10 Young Defensive Football Players I Would Build My Team Around. This week, it is the same, only basketball.
