Happy Crappy Tuesday Morning……Volume 18.0

Happy Crappy Tuesday Morning……Volume 18.0
By: J-Shannon
What is going on Bro Nameth World? It is your boy J-Shannon, and I’m back with another solid edition of the Happy Crappy Tuesday, volume 18! This week, we talk the NFL Combine, along with some other nice knowledge of what went down in the world of sports and entertainment this weekend. Sit back, enjoy, and let us know what you think. Also, please like us on Facebook and comment on some post people, we love to hear your input…..So here it is, the 18th edition of the Happy Crappy Monday Morning…..

1 Is There New Power in the NBA East?
Please tell me someone watched the Knicks vs. Heat game Sunday night. It was great. I love the fact that the world predicted the Heat would be unstoppable, and so far they are just a very good team. They had the Knicks down 4 with a minute to go in the game, and the Knicks dug in deep to upset the Heat. I love the fact that the Knicks are playing well. You get the sense by watching the new look Knicks that they are playing with some serious confidence these days. If you get a chance, look at the highlights from the game, and see if you noticed the same thing I did. Carmelo Anthony is playing like a different player, and he is playing some serious Defense, something that he didn’t do well in Denver. Carmelo asked to guard Lebron towards the end of the game, and that’s a hell of a way to step up and show some leadership on a new team. Look out for the Knicks, if they start to get things rolling, they could be a force to be dealt with in the playoffs.
2. Odd Questions asked during Interviews at the Combine….
So Future NFL Players get asked some unique questions during their one on one interviews with NFL teams. Why do teams ask such bizarre questions? I guess for a couple of reasons. One reason is the fact that these players are taught and coached on how to answer scripted questions. If you throw in a random question, this might be a team’s way of throwing off the player, so that he won’t remember those scripted answers. Another reason to ask these questions might be just to simply see how a player thinks on his feet. Here are a few actual questions that were asked by NFL teams to future players…..
What is the difference between and apple and an orange?
What is the similarity between a chair and a table?
Have you ever worn a thong?
If we dropped you in the middle of the woods, how would you find your way to the city?
Is your mother a prostitute?

3.  Jeff Gordon, Welcome back to Victory Lane…..
I had to take a moment and send some congrats to Jeff Gordon for this win in Phoenix on Sunday. The guy ended a 66 race skid. Congrats my man…..

4. Want one of the Coolest Jobs in Sports?
The Chicago Cubs have announced that they are looking for a new Game Day Announcer for Wrigley Field. The team has asked every one of all backgrounds to send a resume in and see if you have what it takes to become the voice of the Cubs. It wouldn’t be a bad gig to become the voice of the Cubs. Hell, I might even make you the “living the dream” legend of the week if you get the job.
5. Charlie Sheen is Historical….
Take a moment and really watch This Interview. Charlie Sheen has some of the best answers to these questions you’ll ever see…..

6. Wow, a New NFL Combine Record, this Guy is a Stud…..

I love Football, and I love the NFL. Nothing is better than watching hours of the NFL combine, where you get to see guys leave everything out there on the field, and bust their asses to try and impress NFL coaches and scouts. Stephen Paea took advantage of this opportunity this week, dominating on the bench. If you do not find the below video impressive, you obviously have never stepped foot in a weight room. This is the new NFL Combine record for the 225 Bench Press……



7.  Inspirational Story of the Week….
You have to give it up for a guy who is willing to do all of this, in order to spend time with his son and follow his dream. I don’t know how he does it, but the guy deserves some credit. Working a full time job, raising a son, and playing collegiate basketball has to be tough….


8. Photo of the Week:
This week’s Photo of the week comes from Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter is well on his way to spending some of that cheddar he collected from his new contract with the Yankees. This Mega-Creation cost a cool 7 Million. The place is 31,000 square feet, along with 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Not too Shabby Jeter….


9.“One-Liners” of the Week….

Clinton Portis- His run in Washington is over, Portis was released around lunch today….
20,000- Bro Nameth passed the 20,000 view mark this week, thanks to all who read….
D- Bag Cheerleader- So a Louisville Cheerleader grabbed the ball after a dunk and threw it up in the air after the game was over, so he thought. The cheerleader’s actions resulted in 2 free throws for Pittsburgh. Good thing for the Cheerleader that Louisville still won the game.
Chris Bosh- He went 1-18 this weekend in a game…. That is not Bro Worthy….

10. THE TOP 10 in the TOP 10…
In honor of latching on to the last little bit of football of the season, this week we will cover the top 10 Standouts and Surprises from this week’s NFL Combine.

10. Cam Newton QB– So Cam Newton’s time after college has been rough. First, He made the mistake at media day this week of referring to himself as “An Entertainer” and an “Icon”. Then, he went out had for forgot the importance of Accuracy. The guy was all over the charts, and was having a rough time getting the ball to receivers all day.
9. Courtney Smith WR – Why the surprise? Well the surprise is he wasn’t invited. That’s surprising being that he is 6’4’’ and has the perfect frame. Shocker he wasn’t invited.
8. AJ Green WR- Look, I know he is a stud, and I know he has talent. But he really hasn’t had a good NFL Combine week. His 40 was weak, as expected. But he also had a rough day with the passing drills, dropping passes more often than normal. Don’t get me wrong, I still think AJ is a top 10 pick, but he didn’t show that at the Combine.
7. Roy Helu Jr. RB – Not going to say much about him, just remember this name. The kid is talented.
6. Marvin Austin DT – The mammoth of a man didn’t get to play a lot of football this season because of the issues with UNC. So as expected, scouts wanted to see if he lost a step or got soft during his missed games. Well, he didn’t, he is a stud. Look for him to go in the first round…..
5. Jake Locker QB- Jake helped himself tons over the weekend. His biggest concern so far has been his accuracy, but he was on point this weekend. He also has the huge frame, and surprisingly he ran a 40 in 4.52, second fastest among QB’s.
4. Julio Jones WR - FREAK…. 11’3’’ Broad Jump, 4.39 40, and 38.5 Vertical…. Enough said.
3. Edmund Gates WR- Anyone know where Abilene Christian School is located? You might want to locate the school; they are starting to put out some speedy WR’s. A couple of years ago they had a kid name Johnny Knox surprise you in the combine, and now starts for the Chicago Bears. This year, Edmund Gates put his name on the map by running the 40 in 4.36, the fastest this year.
2. Von Miller LB- By all accounts, this kid is the prototypical inside linebacker. He has impressed everyone at the combine. His 40, his Bench, and his on field drills have everyone comparing him to a player named Demarcus Ware….. Not too shabby….
1. Stephen Paea- DL- You have already seen what he can do in the video above, the guy is a stud. He set the record this week for the 225 bench press at the combine, rocking it out 49 times. The best part about it, he was pissed that no one told him what rep he was on, he was aiming for 50.

As always, it has been a pleasure. Leave me your thoughts and comments on the facebook post…. See you all Friday morning Suckazzzzzz.
