Friday Free For All Sports Fix …..Volume 18.0

Friday Free For All Sports Fix …..Volume 18.0

By: J-Shannon

Can you smell that? It’s the smell of Green Beer, half naked women, and possibly a faint whiff of some dude puking in the bathroom. Yes this conglomerate of smells can only mean one thing: its St. Patty’s Day time. Not that anyone of us need an excuse to get hammered, But St. Patty’s Day provides everyone a “Get Hammered with no Consequences” pass. This weekend, I may stop by Peachtree Tavern for Luckyfest, which is their annual shit-hammered event. Well, since I’ve now ruined your never ending Friday by making you dream about how awesome St. Patty’s Day weekend is, allow me to provide you a little entertainment to enjoy while hiding in your cubicle acting like you are actually working. Here it is Boys and Girls, the Friday Morning Free for All, and all its Glory…….

--The “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Story from this Week:

1-Kemba Walker is for Real…….

So if you haven’t had a chance to watch any of the Big East Tournament, you’re missing out. The games are great, and they are some of the best college basketball you’ll see all year. I will throw out a quote my old friend Kyle Pipkin said to me: “The Big East is overrated as usual. They will play good basketball until it counts, and come up short in the tournament….”

Well, Thursday afternoon there was a damn good game going down to the wire between UCONN and PITT. With 18 Seconds to go and the game tied, UCONN calls a timeout, and sets up a play for the win.

Everyone in the building knows that Star Kemba Walker is going to take the last shot. But the way the shot was set up is what I liked. On the inbound, Coach Calhoun of UCONN set up a pick and roll situation. Why? He was hoping to get the switch, so that 6’11’’, 250 lb. Center Gary McGhee would end up on the sick-nasty Walker….. The result…….

--Thing that Have Pissed Me off This Week

1-Tattoo University Suspensions…..

If you have ever read anything I have ever written, you know that I’m as big of a fan of the NCAA as the Human Society is of MV7. I think when it comes to hypocrisy, the NCAA wrote the book. So if you haven’t been keeping track of the allegations involving Ohio State, let me give you the highlights…..

-5 Players were suspended at the end of last year for receiving improper benefits for selling Bowl Championship Rings, jerseys, and awards to a tattoo parlor in exchange for tattoos.

-The players are suspended for the first 5 games of this season. They were ALLOWED to play in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans even after the suspension was announced, although I think that was BS.

-As it turns out, Head Coach Jim “Don’t mess with my sweater vest” Tressel, knew about the boys selling goods and getting benefits the whole time, but didn’t report what he knew.

This week, emails were revealed showing that the coach was warned by multiple people that the players were breaking NCAA rules. Tressel’s response: “Keep me posted as to what I need to do if anything. I will keep pounding these kids to grow up….jt.”

Ohio State “self imposed” disciplinary actions on their Head Coach. His punishment: 2 Games suspension and $250,000 fine. Really?  That’s all the guy gets? Tressel has to pay a $250,000 fine, which I’m sure any of the OSU boosters will be happy to pay, and has to sit out 2 games. The head coach will be at home with his feet kicked up in the recliner drinking a glass of wine (the man isn’t Bro enough for a good ol fashion ‘merican) wearing a tie and sweater vest while his team plays Akron and Toledo. Wouldn’t you have attempted to cover up this scandal if you knew you’re only punishment would be to sit out games against 2 high school teams? Do you honestly think Coach Tressel gives a shit that he is missing games against these two cakewalks?

I think that the NCAA needs to step in an actually impose a suspension that hurts Ohio State and Coach Tressel. I would classify the school imposed sanctions as a slap on the wrist, but I think that’s too harsh of a term for his punishment……..

2-Guy at Gym…..

This one will be quick…. After a solid workout, when I’m nasty and sweaty, the last thing I want to walk in the locker room and see is an old D-Bag blow-drying himself off butt ass naked. Get a towel Old Man River……

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

1. This one is courtesy of Extra Mustard on SI.com. Hey Blake Griffin, put this in your pipe and smoke it……

2. I’m a huge fan of Hockey hits…. The harder the better (that’s what she said). But this hit looks like it went a bit too far…..

--My Favorite Sports Movie Scene of the Week:

New category, but it’s really simple. Here is where I’m going to put in some of the absolute best sports movie scenes of all time…. This week:

Before you all start saying what I know you are going to say….. I know this clip is included in the sports video section of the website. But you know what, it is such a good clip, I feel it would be disrespecting the video if I didn’t include it in the Favorite Sports Movie Clips. Believe it or not, I played this speech for our Editor/Chief Chris McDonald, 30 minutes before his wedding to get him pumped. True Story……..

--Real Men of Genius Bro of the Week:

In honor of the kickoff of the 2011 NASCAR season, I felt it was only right to dedicate a portion of my Friday Free for All for the next few weeks to the “Real Men of Genius,” presented by ice cold ‘Merican Bud Light. This week, Bro Nameth Salutes you…….

Mr. 80 SPF Sunblock Wearer……

--Shout-Outs for the Week:

*Yogi Berra- One of the game’s greatest was taken to a Florida Hospital yesterday after tripping and falling before a pre-season Yankees game….. Berra is A-OK though…..

*Brandon Merriweather- Shout-out to Merriweather for handling a situation as an adult this weekend. Apparently he got into a little altercation over the weekend, and decided the best way to calm the situation down would be to shoot 2 people. Merriweather is being accused of shooting 2 men outside of a nightclub.

*Refs from St. John’s Game- Shit happens, everyone makes mistakes….. don’t sweat it……

*Baby hands Clancy- Bro Nameth wants to send a shout out to you and your incredible need to be the best at exercising. Thanks for the support….

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 Bro Nameth Awards..100th post

This post marks the 100th post from Bro Nameth. We really appreciate all the support and feedback the Bro Nameth Supporters have shown over the last few months. Every month during football season our monthly page views went up over 25%!! Thanks again for spreading the word and getting BROtivated.

The Awards are broken down into multiple categories ranging from the Betty White Award to the most underrated/overrated players in each sport. ENJOY

BASEBALL

Most Overrated:

• Jayson Werth- 126,000,000! That's a lot of freaking ZERO's for a guy who is already 31, hit in an unbelievably friendly hitters park, was surrounded by guys named Utley, Howard and Victorino and has a really fruity mustache. I'm not knocking the hustle but for what he is being paid he better hit 40+ dingers and hit about .330. How about this for a pun; Jayson might be werth something but he ain't werth that!
• Joba Chamerlain- Someone tell me when im supposed to be scared hes pitching? All the talk was this kid was the next Roger Clemons. An intimidator that even Dale Earnhardt would have been scared of. The dude straight blows. Heres the real question; Why the hell did his parents name him Joba!?! Go eat a burrito you know you want to.
• Jeff Francoeur- "Overrated? Francoeur hasn't been good for 3 years so how can you call him overrated?" Well considering people were calling him The Natural after his first season and now he can barely get an invite to Spring Training so I would say he fits the bill. I like Jeff Francoeur. In fact I have met him a few times and he couldn't be a nicer guy. Problem is he can't hit a curveball. Well he cant really hit anything. He has a very strong arm and is pretty solid defensively but that .230 BA sticks out worse than girls who tan in the winter.

Most Underrated:

• Andrew McCutchen- I know he is still young but this kid is going to be a freaking baller in the next 2 years. Unfortunately for him he plays for the Pirates. I see him winding up donning a Yankee or RedSox Jersey by 2014. The guy can fat fly and has a great bat. He is on the underrated list because he is a top OF in the game yet not a single person would consider him that if asked. Want a fantasy STUD this year? Draft my boy McCutchen.

Most Under appreciated:

• Kevin Youkilis- YOUUUUUUUUUUUUKKK to all you "Sawx" fans. He might look like an idiot as he stands in there waiting for you to bring the cheese but behind that beard is a legit power bat. Everyone always talks about how clutch Big Pops Ortiz is but Youkilis is just as big in clutch situations. That goatee beard looks more like something Chuck Norris would be proud of.

Worst Player in Baseball:

• Pedro Feliz- Anytime your OPS is HALF (.46) of the league average, you must be pretty shitty. I can't take full credit for this find as I did some googling and found that stat on Feliz. I remember when he was a 20+ HR guy who would give you a .270 average. Now he is easily the worst player in baseball that starts. This category could have been given to Corky Miller or Greg Norton but neither of them is even fit to be given an award, no matter how crappy the award.

Best Coach:

• Mike Scioscia- I know this might be hard for some of you to swallow (that's what she said) but Scoscia has the Angels in contention almost every single year and has a title to show for it (2002). "but Chris, how is this any different than what Bobby Cox did?" First, don't mention Bobby Cox in my posts. Second, Scioscia has won with FAR FAR inferior talent than what Cox had. Scioscia is also a two time AL Manager of the year.

Worst Coach:

• Jerry Manuel- I know hes no longer the manager but this is based off of what he did while being the manager of the Mets. They were awful and completely underachieved. All his fault? Probably not but he couldn't manage a bullpen and just seemed like a real loser. Maybe he should have gotten thrown out a little more so he would get a free pass like you know who.

BASKETBALL

Most Overrated:

• Chris Bosh- I went on record back when "The Big 3" started the year 8-6 that giraffe neck Chris Bosh is easily one of the most overrated players in the NBA. He was a 20/10 guy in Toronto. Big freaking deal! Toronto was horrible and he was the only decent player on the team. Of course hes going to have good numbers. Everyone acts like he is some kind of superstar. Trust me on this one....hes not. Would you consider Kevin Love a superstar?!?! Kevin Love averages 21 and 16 for the T-Wolves. While that is very very impressive he is by no means a superstar. Same thing for Bosh. The guy had a 1-19 night for crying out loud! That's almost impossible. Look at this toolbox at work....

• Joe Johnson- Is there another player in the league who goes MIA in big games more than Joe Johnson? If their is I challenge you to tell me who it is. The Hawks have set their entire franchise back 5-8 years with the absurd contract they offered him. I can't believe more people aren't on board with me here. We pay him to be a SUPERSTAR. The Sunday night game against the Knicks was a great stage for him to step up and play well. If you consider 15 5 and 3 a good game then yeah he's worth 21 million a year. I want someone to give me 3 examples over the last 3 years where you walked away from a game saying "we only won because JJ was incredible". You cant do it and that's a problem. Again, its not JJ's fault the Atlanta Spirit want to pay him all that money. However you would think these guys are smarter than you and me. I called this back when it happened and this is why I am so hard on Atlanta Sports. The JJ contract is what is wrong with the Atlanta sports scene. Everyone is ok with being ok. This here is quality Sports writing.

Most Underrated:

• Kevin Love- Is it just me or has there been ZERO talk about Kevin Love and the absolutely ridiculous numbers he is putting up. I know I said earlier that it helps he plays for the T-Wolves but he has tied the ALL TIME record for consecutive double doubles at 51. Thats freaking impressive no matter where you play. All time consecutive double doubles? No not Bill Russell, not Larry Bird, Not Shaq, none of those guys. Just a white boy from Oregon who will probably break Moses Malone's record tonight. Maybe its just me but I would take Kevin Love over Giraffe neck Chris Bosh all day everyday.

Most Underappreciated:

• Tim Duncan- "TIMMMAYYYYY" as he banks another jumper in off the glass. "The Big Fundamental" as he drop steps you to death. Did you know since the Spurs drafted Duncan #1 overall they have yet to have a season where they win less than 50 games? That's absurd. Lets not forget they also have 4 Championships in that same time frame. Duncan might be the most under appreciated Superstar that I can think of in the last couple of decades. No one EVER talks about him yet hes a double double machine and wins.

• Derek Fisher- DFish is like Robin to Kobe's Batman. Hes the little sidekick who is solid as hell and just seems to make plays when asked.  I will never forget the shot he made against the Spurs that year in the playoffs that he got off in .4 seconds......DRAINO. Notice who made the shot prior. TIMMMMAYYYYYYYYYYY.

Worst Player in Basketball:

• Shelden Williams (TIE)- 5th overall pick huh? Could have drafted Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay or Rajon Rondo. Not only is Sheldon Williams the worst player in the NBA, he can't even beat his wife in a game of 1 on 1! Candace Parker would straight abuse Sheldon down low. Add to the fact that his forehead needs its own zip code and you got a recipe for disaster. Just look at the clip...

• Chris Quinn (TIE)- WHOOO?? Exactly my point. I feel like every time I turn on a game and I see Chris Quinn running the show I think that Ashton Kutcher is a few seconds away from popping out and blowing the cover on another Punk'd. This guy is what gives the white PG's a bad name. He is slow as balls, looks even goofier and has a horrible haircut.

Worst Coach:

• Vinny Del Negro- Vinny Del Treyo to all you old school Spur fans. The guy looks like a Columbian Drug Lord but could flat stroke it from the outside. Now, hes leading a pretty good Clippers team into the ground. This was AFTER he underachieved as the BULLS coach the last few years. Its hard to determine who is the worst but this guy gets the nod because of his hair.

Best Coach:

• Greg Popovich (TIE)- As mentioned earlier the SPURS run over the last 12 years or so is pretty freaking incredible. You can bet your ass every time you play them they are going to play hard and be well coached. POP is the man and is a very firery dude.
• Phil Jackson (TIE)- I know its pretty absurd that I have him tied with Popovich but in actuality its much closer than you may think. Since 1999, Jackson has 5 Championships but Popovich has 4. Now Jackson has more but Popovich didnt have Kobe and Shaq on his team. I used to think that Phil Jackson was overrated until my High School coach proved me wrong. Michael Jordan had yet to win a playoff game until PJ came along. Kobe wasn't really Kobe until Phil came and his 11 Championships are a record.

FOOTBALL

Most Overrated:

• Chad Ochocinco- He used to be one of the best receivers in the NFL. Now he just is constantly running his mouth and can't back it up. He was all talk last year about how he and TO were going to light it up. NEWSFLASH Chad, TO had a good year and you stunk it up. Carson Palmer has had about enough of Chads crap as well telling Bengal ownership he will never play another down for them. Chad is also ridiculously cocky. While he is overrated he does have some very funny TD Celebrations when he does happen to score. This isn't Ochocinco but it made me laugh pretty hard:

• Matt Hasselbeck- Anytime Charlie Whitehurst is BROUGHT in to replace you....you must stink some kind nasty. Not only does he look unbelievably unathletic, but he plays that way. He gets hurt a lot and is probably in the bottom 5 for worst starting QB's in the league. Every now and then he will pull something out of his ass like he did against New Orleans but then its....cue the music!

Most Underrated:

• Curtis Lofton- What does a guy have to do in order to make a PRO BOWL? My lord, Lofton only had 118 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and an INT for the 13-3 Falcons! Not to mention the year prior he had 138 tackles. The guy flies under the radar for being a pretty damn good LB. I know Patrick Willis is the up and coming superstar but Lofton is not to far behind IMO and only getting better. Show this man some love already.

Most Underappreciated:

• Fullbacks- I am going to give some FB's some love here. How do you think it is that these great RB's break off big chunks of yardage? Most of the time its a steamroller who's job it is to rock a LB to open up a hole. You think offensive lineman dont get any love? Try being a FB. In Atlanta we have Ovie Mughelli who has been leading the way for Michael Turner the last 3 years and Turner has lead or been in the top 5 of rushing all 3 years. You had Emmitt Smith give Darryl Johnston a very special shoutout during his Hall Of Fame induction speech. What about Mike Alstott and Lorenzo Neal? 2 beasts who punished defensive players for years. WWAFD. What would a fullback do.

Worst Player in Football:

• Dan Orlovsky- the pride of UCONN football outside of Johnny Mac. It's pretty hard to be labeled the WORST in a professional sport because that still means your better than 99.9% of everyone who plays the sport. However, this guy is pretty freaking bad. The play he made against the Vikings still makes me laugh as he has absolutely no idea how bad he has just run out of bounds as he continues to go through his reads. Take a gander:

Best Coach:

• Bill Belicheck- Its almost impossible to ignore what Bellicheck has done in new England over the last 8-10 years. 3 Super Bowls, multiple 12 win seasons and he has made the hoodie not as lame. He might be the biggest jerk in the room but the guy just wants to win and I can respect that.

Worst Coach:

• Eric Mangini- I know he is no longer in the league but this guy is absolutely terrible! ManGENIOUS as JETS fans tabbed him after 1 decent year and then the next year hes out on his ass only to get hired as the Browns new Head Coach. He is just bad. Cleveland sucks but even they knew that he was not very good.

Betty White Award

This normally goes to an individual but I am going to give this one to the Miami Heat. I can safely say at this point that their is absolutely NO CHANCE you are going to win the NBA Championship this year and thus....thats an EPIC FAIL. All the ridiculous drama surrounding the "chosen" one LeBron James and now you have lost 5 in a row. LeBron used to be my favorite player in the NBA and now I can't stand the guy. The arrogance and smugness of this guy is sickening. What have you accomplished?? MVP awards? Big freaking deal. Your ultimately judged on your Championship totals. DWade has already won. Chris Bosh needs to go out to the Serengeti where he belongs with his Giraffe neck and you need to shut your mouth until you win something. Again, the playoffs haven't started yet but trust me....its over for the heat. The big 3...get out of here. Mike Bibby is your PG! Don't make me laugh. The guy is drawing checks from Quikrete because they make his shoes!

The Summer's Eve D-Bag Award

This is not an athlete but at this point its bigger than anything going on in sports so free game. Charlie Sheen. I'm sorry but I don't think its remotely funny nor do I think he is funny at all. In fact, I think Two and a Half Men is one of the lamest shows on TV. He looks like a guy who has completely lost his mind and fried his brain. These new videos he keeps releasing about him being a warlock and having his goddesses around him is just weird. Enough already. Why can't people in Hollywood just be normal for once? You got Charlie Sheen going ape shit and Linday Lohan stealing jewelry which they have on video tape! She seems to think she can now sue the jewelry store for releasing the tapes. Newsflash they own the tapes! They can do what they please with them. Stop being a mean girl. Back to Mr. Warlock. Not only do you pretty much look like a walking skeleton but I am going to go out on a limb (shocker here) and say you are dead within 2 years. That might be harsh but there is only so much one man can take.

Thats it folks! Once again thanks for reading and spreading the word. If you any suggestions or if you want to write for us shoot us an email at BNSports2010@gmail.com

As always Just Bro It.

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 19.0

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 19.0

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 Monday, volume 19. Another lazy weekend for me, although I did manage to get up and make it to the gym both days, so I’m pretty proud of that. This week, we cover everything from LeBron and “His Talents”, The President of the USA, some Charlie Sheen, a little March Madness Bubble Watch, and the famous Wonderlic Test……Sit back and relax, and enjoy the Crappy Ass Monday Morning…..

1. Where should LeBron take his talents next year?

Everyone was predicting all kinds of streaks for the Miami Heat this season. Anyone predict 4 in a row? That’s right, 4 losses in a row. The Bulls put a hurting on the Heat Sunday afternoon, giving the heat their 4^th loss in a row. Going into Sunday, the Bulls were 2-0 this season against the Heat, and were looking for the season sweep Sunday. Well, they got it. Think back to last time the Heat and Bulls played, $115 Million Dollar Man Chris Bosh went 1-19 from the field. 1-19. I’ll promise you one thing, I’ll bet my life on the fact that you give me $115 million; I will go better than 1-19. The shitty performance of Bosh got the blame for the loss, saying that he had a bad game, and ultimately that was the deciding factor. Well Bosh played better today; in fact all 3 members of the “Big 3” were over 20 in points. So what is the problem? Is it a coaching thing? Is it a chemistry thing? I’m not sure, but I will say that the Heat need to get their shit together, or there are going to be some pissed off people in South Beach……

2. Excuse me Mr. President, don’t you have more important S%#T to worry about?

So normally, we don’t talk politics at Bro Nameth. Not that we don’t care, but if we are going to waste our time on arguing a point, it is going to be about something we actually care about. Well, mark this down as the first time I bring up the President in the Happy Crappy Monday Morning. Why? Because it is my column, and I will write about whatever the hell I want to write about. So if we are going to bitch about politics, I’m going right to the top.

Don’t you think that President Obama has a few more issues he should worry about and comment on than the NFL? I mean don’t get me wrong, I think the NFL is amazing, and I don’t want to downplay the importance on the economy a lockout would bring. Let’s look at what he COULD be commenting on: the fact that the country is STILL at war, how horrible his healthcare bill is, the fact that the country pays more for a gallon of gas than a gallon of milk.

The president made a rather ignorant comment this weekend regarding the labor talks with the NFL. Here was the President’s view on the NFL labor talks:

“You’ve got owners, most of whom are worth close to a billion dollars,” Obama said.  “You’ve got players who are making millions of dollars.  People are having to cut back, compromise and worry about making mortgage [payments]. . . .  The two parties should be able to work it out without the President of the United States intervening. . . .  [F]or an industry that’s making $9 billion a year in revenue, they can figure out how to divide it up in a sensible way.”

Why do I have an issue with this statement? Yes, owners make Billions of dollars. But the majority of NFL players only make $200-$400 K annually. I’m not saying they are broke, but it’s not like $200 K is a lot of money these days. You want to talk about sensibility; you would think the President of a country that is spending just north of $100 BILLION annually on the Iraq War, would spend a little more time worrying about that problem…..

Start focusing on what is really important, and we will start calling you Bro-ack Obama. Until then, you’re not going to get much love from Bro Nameth…..

I’m just sayin…..

3. Charlie Sheen business partners with Mark Cuban?

Yes, you read that correctly. Mark Cuban and Charlie Sheen are in talks to put Charlie Sheen on a new TV Series on HDNet. Keep in mind Mark Cuban owns HDNet, so he can put whatever the hell he wants to on the Station. The new show is either going to be a talk show, or a Reality TV Show. Why wouldn’t you jump on this if you are the Cubes? First of all, everything he touches seems to turn into Billions. Second, everyone on the Planet is talking about Charlie Sheen these days. I know one thing, I’ll be watching…..

4. Jamaal Anderson may be the second worse defensive choice in the past 5 years…..

Why? Because ex Jet Vernon Gholston just may be the worse. The absolute dud of a defensive player was cut last week, no surprise to anyone. Think about this: The guy had a $9 Million Dollar Clause in his contract that stated if he was to have one forced fumble, one sack, or one fumble recovery in the 2010 season, he would earn an additional $9 Million on his contract. His total of the 3 last season=0. Look, even the absolute bust Jamaal Anderson manages to fall on the QB every now and then….

5. Bubble Watch….

The Best tournament in the world is right around the corner. Yes, I’m talking March Madness is almost upon us. It’s time to take a look at the handful of teams that are hopeful to get in the tournament, and the 4-5 who will be like the fat kid on the playground when teams are being picked…..translation: they won’t be participating…..

Florida State- What a difference a shot makes. Harrison Barnes Misses the 3pt. shot, and FSU wins and is a lock for the tournament. Now, it looks like they may have to win a game or 2 in the ACC tournament to get in the dance….

Marquette- It really sucks to be Marquette. They have a pretty good team, but they play in the Big East. Oh well, welcome to life in SEC Football. The biggest problem Marquette has is there are 10 teams in their conference better than them…..

Michigan State- They probably make the tournament because they are Michigan State. But their record is decent, although their Strength of Schedule is solid. I think Izzo and the boys are in….

Tennessee- It sure would have helped Bruce Pearl and the boys had they beat a #20 Kentucky team who were 1-6 on the road against SEC teams this year. Well, they blew it on senior night, so the only tournament they may be making is the NIT baby….

Alabama- It’s sad to say that the win the SEC west and still might not make the tournament. Yes, the SEC West is weak, but does Alabama still deserve to dance? The Tide did some things right, but lost some nasty games, and played high schools as a non conference schedule…. They may need to do some things in the SEC tournament next weekend…..

6. I almost feel Bad for Number 44, but not quite….

So with .7 seconds left in this NAIA semi-final game, Danielle Clausen makes a bold move. Check it out below. I’m not sure if what’s more impressive, the fact that she had the presence of mind to make the play, or the amount of people at a Concordia women’s college basketball game…..

7.  Inspirational Story of the Week….

Right here in our own backyard, a solid piece about what really drives Jason Heyward to play the game he loves… Get the tissues out….

8. Hottie of the Week (formerly known as Photo of the Week):

Let’s face it, the photo of the week would be a lot cooler if it was the Hottie of the week. Therefore, starting today, we will now dedicated number 8 to the Hottie of the week….. This Week: Rosie Jones.

9.“One-Liners” of the Week…

*Pete Rose- Looks like Pete is getting a divorce after 25 years of marriage, sorry bro…..

*Minnesota Vikings- Rumor has it they are going to go after Kyle Orton of Denver to be their next Starting QB…. There’s a long term plan….

*Rosie Jones- My new Celebrity Crush….

*Yoo-Hoo- Best Drink I haven’t had in the past 6 months….

10. THE TOP 10 in the TOP 10…

You know how we do this; it’s a weekly countdown of the Top 10 in the Top 10….

This week, coming off the NFL combine, I thought it would be nice to test the readers of Bro Nameth Sports, and see just what their IQ look likes. Here are 10 sample questions that would be on the Wonderlic Test, the test given to NFL Draft Prospect to see just how smart they really are…. See what you can do with these 10 questions……

1- PRESENT, RESENT - Do these words:

1.       Have Similar Meanings

2.       Have Contradictory Meanings

3.       Mean Neither the Same nor Opposite

2- A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 seconds at this exact speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?

3- When rope is selling at $.10 a foot, how many feet can you buy for sixty cents?

4- A boy is 16 years old and his sister is twice as old. When the boy is 22 years old, what will be the age of his sister?

Ben greeted Beth. Beth greeted Bob. Ben did not greet Bob

9- In printing an article of 48,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,800 words. Using smaller type, a page contains 2,400 words. The article is allotted 21 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in smaller type?

10- Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide all profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000 and Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?

All of the answers are in the comments section of the Blog. Leave how many you got right on the comments if you aren’t too embarrassed…..

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