Friday Free For All

Friday Free For All…..

It’s Friday morning; you should all know what that means. It means you are sitting at your desk starring at the clock in the bottom right of the computer, acting like you are doing something important, waiting for the right moment for you to sneak out that extra 10 minutes early, so you can try and beat the traffic home. Or, you may be sitting in a classroom, listening to a professor talk about all kinds of sh*t that you could care less about, because you are too busy trying to figure out what happened last night, where your debit card is, and who that person is that you woke up next to this morning.

But the best thing about Friday, the absolute best thing, is that it’s time for the first of many weekend outlooks from yours truly…. Enjoy….

Top 3Things I’m looking forward to this weekend:

1. Auburn vs. LSU- The opportunity to see Cam Newton lay the smack down on LSU. I don’t like LSU, and I can’t stand Les Miles. If I was half as lucky as Les Miles, right now I would be writing this in a hot tub at The Palms in Vegas with three strippers named Candy, Destiny, and Sunshine.

2. Lesnar vs. Velasquez- Yea I’m down with the UFC, I love any opportunity to drink beer and watch two guys beat the hell out of each other. I’m taking Lesnar in this fight, because he is a badass, he’s definitely jacked up on something, and his wife is smoking hot.

3. Eason-Welch- The most underrated music group in Nashville. If you have not heard of them, you need to check them out on Facebook. Give them a shout; let them know you heard about them from Bro Nameth Sports.

Top 3 things that have pissed me off this week:

1. Bret Favre and his package- Look Brett, I’ve put up with retirement, no retirement, retirement, no retirement over the last 3 years. But the last mental picture I wanted in my head watching Sportscenter every morning is text message photos of your package. And I hate to tell you Grandpa, but that chick from the Jets was a Dime Piece, you didn’t have a chance unless you threw her some of that green you got.

2. James Harrison- Retirement? Really? You are going to retire over a $75,000 fine for a dangerous hit? You’re scheduled to make 20 Million dollars over the next three years. There wasn’t a chance on this planet you were going to retire.

3. Stephen Garcia QB, South Carolina- I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but lobbing the ball for anyone to grab on the last play of the game? Thinking about it pisses me off.

Best Stat I’ve heard over the last week:

· The SEC West has 5 out of 6 teams ranked in the AP top 25. That is more teams than the entire Big East, and More teams then both conferences in the ACC combined. BOOOOOMMM

Youtube Clips of the week:

You need a good laugh, just watch this moron on QVC. I could watch it over and over honestly.


And Finally- Big Game Predictions for the Weekend, if you don’t agree, tell me….

Auburn over LSU
Cocks over Commies
Nebraska over Oklahoma State
Alabama over Tennessee
Missouri upsets Oklahoma
Kentucky over Georgia
Dirty Birds over TO-CHO
Giants over Cowgirls

As always, it’s been a pleasure. Leave a comment if you disagree with anything I got to say, and I’ll prove to you why you are wrong….. Check in again Monday Suckazzzzz.

The NFL is going to screw themselves....UGA shut up already

The NFL is going to start "fining" players like a mofo for what they deem "hard hits". Is this not the most ridiculous thing you have heard in your life? Regardless of what the NFL or anyone else thinks, football is a collision sport. A very violent collision sport. Regardless of wether you add these new rules someone could die at any point. If you dont like it then dont play football! "Hitting a defenseless receiver", what does that even mean? Correct me if im wrong but any receiver who raises his arms to catch a ball is defenseless. You cant start fining these guys for stuff they have been doing all their lives. This last weekend I agree that the hits Jerome Harrison and Brandon Merriweather laid out were bad and should be penalized. Merriweather blatently lead with his helmet and thus should be fined and possibly suspended. He clearly was trying to hit Heap in the helmet as it couldnt have been more obvious. Jerome Harrison the same thing applies. Please stop this BS about you retiring! Everyone knows your not retiring. Where else are you going to work making 1/10 of the salary you are now? Get out of here with that crap. The Dunta Robinson, while it looked horrible, was completely legal. He hit him in the upper chest leading with his shoulder/head. Just bc Desean Jackson weighs 180 lbs soaking wet is not Robinsons problem. Robinsons shoulder pads rose up into Jacksons chin and when I saw it live I thought Jackson was dead on impact. The game moves so fast that these players dont have time to react. It sounds as if I am both for and both against it. Heres my point. With these new rules once a precedent is set the same backlash has to be the same. Once you fine a player for a "specific" type of hit, you have to do it everytime. This is only going to escalate and sooner or later there will be a player fined each week. Look wehat happened to the QB rules. You cant even go near a QB now without the possibility of being penalized 15 yards and getting fined. If the NFL wants to implement this policy they need to be very clear on what is wrong and what is ok. Not this vague "hitting a defenseless receiver" BS they have now. Clearly define what is going to be fined and get it right now before it gets out of hand. You can almost gaurantee that their will be a lockout now. The players are going to revolt against this and throw that in with the fact they have already been at odds with the owners regarding the labor talks and you got a recipe for disaster.

I really really dislike the Georgia Bulldogs! "Sic em dawgs beat Arkansas". Nope. "Sic em dawgs beat South Carilina. Yo no creo. "Sic em dawgs beat Miss. State". Thanks for playing. "Sic em dawgs beat Colorado". HAHAHAHA. Congratulations you have beaten Tennessee and Vanderbilt back to back games. EWWWWW big timing now. The worst part about living in Atlanta is listening to all of the ridiculous Georgia fans who call in and ruin every sports talk show in the city. "Georgias back we drubbed vandy and tenn yahhhhhhh cmonnnn bark bark bark bark". Thats the nonsense that fills the airwaves on a daily basis now. Shutup already. Your average as hell and even if you beat Florida (which who knows) Auburn is going to beat you down 2 weeks later. Is 7-5 a good season?? Apparentally it is. Mark Richt can't coach the first 5 games but now all of a sudden hes righted the ship? You beat TENN and Vandy! The worst TENN team in a decade and a team that needs no introduction to being the worst SEC team football wise in Vandy. You really thought you were going to compete for the SEC title with a freshman QB? "Its all bc AJ Green wasnt there". Actually you had AJ Green back against the almighty Colorado Buffalo's and STILL lost. TO COLORADO! It obviously didn't help that he was out but cmon. All of the "good" teams you have played so far you gave lost to outside of Colorado. So continue to feel good about yourselves for beating Tennessee and Vandy and LA Monroe. Enjoy the Poinsetta Bowl.

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.

Coaching stupidity, some Falcons talk and put out that damn Cigart!

Having attended the University of South Carolina you could say im a big USC fan. I love Steve Spurrier. The guy is funny, obsurdly blunt and overall just a big bad ass. However, he blew the game for us on Saturday. South Carolina, having blown a 28-10 halftime lead is driving down the field for the game tying FG to send the game to overtime. With 2 timeouts left and the ball on the kentucky 45 yard line I feel pretty confident we are going to send it to OT. Thats when the brain fart happens. We complete a pass and get out of bounds. Clock is stopped. So what do we do? We get up to the line and blow a TO!!! OK fine, no big deal right. Well we comlpete about an 18 yard out and again get out of bounds with 11 seconds left around the 20 yard line. PERFECT!! Now we can run one more play and call a TO. Wrong. We blow ANOTHER TO and now have none with 11 seconds left. We either kick it now or take a chance throwing the ball for a first down or into the end zone. Spurrier has always been balls to the wall so im sitting their thinking hes going to go for the glory. He does. He designs a play where we throw the ball to I think our 5th receiver, some guy I have never heard of and the ball is intercepted. Game over! Welcome back to earth USC. A win against Kentucky and they have basically sealed the SEC east since Florida ends up losing at home to Mississippi State. Now South Carolina is in must win games leading up to the Florida game.

The Falcons flew into Philly yesterday for a big NFC battle with the Eagles and Mike Vick. Check that, Kevin Kolb. I am not going to bash the Falcons as I feel as if we have a very good team this year and we just played terrible yesterday. 4 of our first 6 games this year have been on the road and if you would of told me we would be 4-2 after those 6 I would be very happy. I am going to bash on Mularkey and the Falcon offense a little here. What I cant seem to understand is why the Falcons REFUSE to go to the no huddle offense sooner? Matt Ryan has proven over the 3 years he has been here that he can run that offense. His stats in the hurry up are very good. When we go down 14-0 its imperitive we get something going on offense. NOPE. Mularkey runs the same ole BS plays and we go 3 and out. MIX IT UP ALREADY. Im just a fan and when I can tell you whats coming before the play then Im pretty sure Defensive Coordinators who work 100+ hours each week sure as hell can. When was the last time we ran a reverse or something out of the ordinary like that? Its the same old run on first down, throw 5 yards on 2nd down and convert a 3rd and 4. Or maybe run on first down, run on second down and try and convert a 3rd and 6. We have a TON of offensive weapons and should be eating up chunks or yardage like the eagles do. Again, im happy where we stand at 4-2 but just dissapointed with the offense and the lack if creativity in ther play calling.

Friday night the Eagles were in town and seeing as the Eagles was on my bucket list I knew I had to go. I went down there with my wife and father in law and was pretty pumped about  it. We get down there relatively early and hustle in to get some good seats. We get pretty far up and camp out right by the beer station. Jackpot! Not so fast. While being close to the beer is a good thing, its also a terrible thing. Everyone around you wants to get some beer, so that means they are going to be walking all over you to fill their alcohol need. At the beginning its not so bad. As the concert gets closer its starting to border on obsurd. Their is this guy next to us who is freaking HUGE! He is starting to get really pissed and literally looks like he is about to kill someone. After literally 2 hours of people constantly walking over us this guy has had enough. He stands up and yells "this isnt a f**king walkway!" About 10 seconds later this lady comes walking through and the dude literally chucks her over his shoulder! She hits the person behind us and just looks stunned. Right on cue "Your an asshole", "thats a lady", "big man you are" all start to ring out. Around the same time this awful smell of a mix between a cigar and a fart starts to fill the air. Sensing the tension Joe and I start making light of the Situatuon. "Would someone please put out that damn Cigart!" "Who is smoking the Cigart!" "Seriously that cigart smells awful!" At this point I am crying I am laughing so hard. No lie it smelled just like the mix between a Cuban and a fart. Im laughing right now thinking about it. The Eagles were off the chain and Jim Walsh is the man on guitar. The guy is like 65 and just rocks it. All in all absolutely good times
