Friday Free For All…..Volume 16.0

By: J-Shannon

Welcome to another solid edition of the Friday Morning Free For All. Yea I know it is Friday afternoon, but get over it really. This week we will cover all kinds of topics, from Mascot beat downs, to over the top ridiculous NBA trades. Saddle up, Crack open an Ice Cold ‘Merican, and prepare to have your shorts blown off. It is time for another solid edition of the Friday Morning Free for All…..

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

Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. You have to love the town. Why? Because Vegas is the only place where everyone in the world can make money on opinion. Yes, I’m talking about sports gambling. These days, Vegas is allowing everyone to place bets, and they are allowing you to place bets on just about anything. This week, the NFL Scouting Combine kicks off in Indy, and yes, you can place a bet on some of the events at the combine. Thanks to Extra Mustard on CNNSI.COM, Here are some of the highlights on what you can bet on this week. Enjoy.

Who will have the fastest 40 Yard Dash Time?
Cam Newton(QB Auburn): -135
Jake Locker (QB Washington):Even


Who will have the fastest 40 Yard Dash Time?
Cam Newton (QB Auburn): -130
Tyrod Taylor (QB Virginia Tech): Even


Who will the most bench press repetitions?
Da'Quan Bowers (DE Clemson): Even
Nick Fairley (DT Auburn): -130


Who will have the highest vertical leap?
A.J. Green (WR Georgia): -130
Julio Jones (WR Alabama): Even

By the way, I’ll take Cam over Jake, Tyrod in the 40, Bowers with the most Bench Reps, and Julio Jones has better ups….

--Thing that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

 Nice Trade Hawks, as usual, you’re competing to stay mediocre…..

As usual, the Hawks have taken their first steps towards the second half of the season making moves to securely place them in the grasps of mediocrity. With the Knicks and Nets making Blockbuster trades to bolster their lineups with guys like Carmelo Anthony and Derron Williams, the Hawks decided they would step up and make a move. The Hawks approached the Washington Wizards with the proposition of taking their “STAR” point guard Kirk Hinrich in exchange for basically the future of the Hawks. Now don’t get me wrong, Hinrich is a step up from Bibby, who recently has been competing with Troy Glaus as the “Slowest Defensive Player in Professional Sports Athlete in Atlanta.” But they Hawks also gave away:

-Rookie Jordan Crawford: Crawford has a huge future ahead of him, however Atlanta Fans will never see him blossom.

-Maurice Evans: Who in my opinion was equivalent to Bibby, if not better?

-1^st Round Pick

So why does this piss me off? Because the Atlanta Spirit is the absolute worst ownership group in Sports. They constantly trade away solid players, and first round picks. Why do they do this? Because the Atlanta Spirit ownership group is CHEAP. I’m talking Rugged Warehouse, Dollar General Cheap. They don’t want first round picks, because they have to pay first round players money. Jordan Crawford is going to develop, but he was a high round pick himself, who is due money. What’s the best way not to pay Crawford? Trade him, and let someone else worry about his contract.

The Hawks will never make it past the 2^nd round of the playoffs. They don’t have the support of ownership backing the team. Until someone else comes in and buys the Hawks (and the Thrashers for that matter) expect MEDIOCRITY…….

P.S. Be on the lookout for an open letter from Bro Nameth Sports to the AJC…..

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

1. Wow, that’s pretty impressive….

2. I love when a coach gets pissed in a game and loses his mind. This week, the Honor goes to a minor league coach in the hockey ranks…..

--Personal Story of the Week…..

After a solid week at the office, I decided that I needed some good ol fashion rest and relaxation for the weekend. Thursday night, I picked up the wifey and checked out a solid ice cold ‘Merican beer drinking concert: Eric Church and Jason Aldean. I’m going to be honest; they put on a damn good story. Tonight, I’m heading to Camden, SC to see some good friends of mine. We have a solid night planned, starting with a little Japanese. After we knock out some shrimp and chicken, we are hitting up the Japanese Karaoke Bar, trust me, you can’t make this shit up. Once I rock out some Bon Jovi, we are going to head back to my boy’s house to continue drinking some ice cold ‘Mericans while sitting in the hot tub. Yea, be jealous, it’s going to be one hell of a night…..

--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. Way Too Much Cologne Wearer

--Shout-Outs for the Week:

*Utah Jazz- Way to let your star player run off your coach, and then trade your star. Now you got an overrated Derrick Favors as one of your biggest stars, and don’t have a chance to compete with the Lakers….

*Chicago Cubs- What are the Cubs doing to advertise? They are putting up billboards with MLB players around town. Funny thing is, they are pictures of Derek Jeter, not a Cubs player…..

*Angelina – The big booty bitch from Jersey Shore has a new gig, and she is going to Professional Wrestling. She just started wrestling for TNA Wrestling, no bullshit…

*New York Knicks- Way to actually be aggressive, and go out and make moves for your team that will have you taking a few steps forward over the next couple of years. Take note Hawks.

*Trevor Bayne- The kid is off to a good start, but he has already put his car into the wall this weekend at Phoenix. Welcome back to the real world kid.

*SMKA Productions- I am stealing a shoutout here from Jason. I have known these guys for quite a while now and they are doing some big things. I normally am not one to tell you to cut back on some good ole fashioned's but help my boys out and send $5 their way to help them get this album done. Bro Nameth looks out for their own. Make it happen.

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.

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 14.0

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 14.0

By: J-Shannon



Good Morning Haters and Fans, and Happy Crappy Monday Morning to you all. My weekend was an eventful one to say the least, although I did absolutely nothing I had planned. Originally, I was scheduled to pick up the girlfriend from the airport early Friday morning, and we were going to have a Bro Nameth night at the Hawks vs. Knicks game. Well, the girlfriend came down with the flu big time, so I had to do what I had to do and go check on her this weekend and make sure she was doing ok. But all in all, I still had a good weekend, and got some much needed rest and relaxation. I also got an opportunity to kick back and watch a lot of sports over the weekend.

So here it is another solid edition of the Happy Crappy Monday…. Enjoy.

1. A Preview of the Big Game on Sunday….

Another football season is in the books, and it looks like it is down to one last football game of the year. This year’s Super Bowl matchup puts the Green Bay Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers. There are so many different angles I like in this game. First off, you have two of the up and coming young Quarterbacks in the league preparing to square off against each other. I personally like Rodgers over Big Ben, however it is hard to bet against a guy like Big Ben who is 10-2 in the playoffs. I also like the coaching matchup. I’m willing to go on record and make this statement: “I think when it is all said and done, Mike Tomlin will go down as one of the best coaches ever to Coach in the NFL.”  I know that is a bold statement, but the guy just flat out understands football, and knows how to win when it matters. You want my opinion? I don’t really care if you do personally; you’re going to get what I’m thinking. I think this game is low scoring, with a large turnover being the difference in the game. As good as Aaron Rodgers is, I give the edge to the Steelers and Big Ben……

2. NHL All Star Game, I Gave it a Chance…..

Look, I tried. I really did. I liked the concept of picking sides with captains. I love when they do their annual winter classic (although picking the first day of the year and competing with a full day of college football is idiotic). So Sunday afternoon, before the Pro Bowl, I decided to lay on the couch and give the NHL All Star game a chance and see what type of action it was bringing to the table. Well, it was one of the most boring events I have ever had to put myself through. There was absolutely no checking, absolutely no defense, and overall no action. Look, I understand no one wants to get hurt, and I understand it is suppose to be high scoring and fun, but you have to keep it somewhat interesting. I’m going to think of the NHL All Star game like an embarrassing One-Night Stand with an ugly chick: NEVER AGAIN…..

3.  Calling All Strippers, Calling All Strippers…..

So we already know the Super Bowl is this coming weekend. We also know that along with the Super Bowl, there is expected to be an additional 170,000 people travel to Dallas for the event. Well it turns out that causes a problem for some local establishments in the area. There is an OPEN-CALL online calling for any and all Strippers to come fly in and work Dallas for the weekend. How many dancing spots are open? 10,000. Don’t worry, you read that right; they are requesting an ADDITIONAL 10,000 Strippers on top of the 20,000 that are already employed in Dallas. You are trying to tell me the economy is down? Let’s just say the average lap dance cost $10. If each dancer just sold a minimum of 3 per night over a two night weekend, it results in 1.8 MILLION DOLLARS in lap dances. We aren’t even considering Cover Charges, Beer, Tips, Shots, and Backstage dances. DAMN, I’m in the wrong business……..

4. Herschel Walker= Not Human….

Herschel Walker is not human. The man is 48 years old, has absolutely no fat on his body anywhere, and says he is in the best shape of his life. The guy is a freak of nature actually. At 48, he was actually clocked at still running a 4.45 40 yard dash. That is impressive. But what’s more impressive is the fact that he is 2-0 in MMA fights, after beating the piss out of some no name guy this weekend. Now I know the guy he fought was softer than a roll of Charmin extra Soft, but you still got to give it to him.

5. Simply Put, This guy is an Idiot….

No description is really needed; this guy is a joke……

6.  Photo of the Week:

This is when you know you are a true Sports fan, starting the kids off right from the beginning.

7. Congrats to Dimitroff and Coach Smith

My inside sources over in flowery branch let me in on a little secret about 24 hours before Jay Glazer broke it yesterday at the Pro Bowl, but it looks like Owner Arthur Blank is going to work on a lengthy extension to Coach Smith and GM Thomas Dimitroff’s contract extension. I don’t know the specifics on numbers, but it is up there. And why shouldn’t it be? The two have made nothing but the right moves since the beginning, and have put together three winning seasons in a row. Congrats to both guys…..

8. How Shitty are the Cavs, Seriously….

The Cleveland Cavaliers suck. I mean they are one pathetic basketball team. I think it is a little funny actually. The Cavs are now a pathetic 8-39, and have lost 20 in a row. And you Cleveland fans were upset that Lebron wasn’t hustling in the playoffs? You may never see the playoffs again. This team has a chance to go down as one of the worst teams in the history of professional basketball.

9.“One-Liners” of the week…….

CBS- Way to have some moral Standards. CBS still refuses to fire Charlie Sheen from Two and a Half Men, even though he has been seen with a briefcase of cocaine, on a drunken binge for 36 hours, slept with 6 porn stars, and checked himself into rehab…. I need a job like that…..

Marvin Williams- You got more balls than I thought you did kid. I was impressed to see you throw a hay-maker Friday night vs. the Knicks…..

Outdoor Tickets- Yes, there are outdoor tickets being sold for the Super Bowl. Tickets OUTDOORS are going for $500 each. Talk about dumbasses…..

Shaun White- The kid is a stud. Won another Gold metal during the X-games this weekend…..

Kobe- He Dropped 41 Last night, but still lost. Somebody else on the team step up….

Kevin Durrant- “Chris Bosh thinks he can act all tough because he is now on a good team. There are a lot of fake tough guys in the NBA, and he is one of them…” –I LOVE IT-

10. THE TOP 10 in the TOP 10….

You know how we do the Top 10 list. Here is the Top 10 this week, dedicated to the unappreciated athlete.

THE TOP 10 MUST UNDERRATED NFL PLAYERS IN 2010…..

10. Brandon Flowers – DB- KC: Flowers is a hell of a cover corner, but gets no love. Kansas City is slowing but surely putting together a tough DB group with Flowers and rookie Eric Berry.

9. Kroy Biermann- DE- Atlanta: Not only is he doing Kim from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but he is also doing work on the field. Talk about a steal in the 5^th round, Biermann has already surpassed the talent of the first round bust Jamall Anderson. I see this kid only getting better and better.

8. Malcom Floyd- WR- San Diego: You remember that solid Number 1 receiver out in San Diego? Oh, you forgot? His name is Vincent Jackson, and no one has really noticed he didn’t play this year. This is mainly because Malcom Floyd has stepped up. The kid is a solid athlete and a free agent this year. Maybe he can end up in Atlanta next year? Please?

7. Jason Snelling- RB – Atlanta: Now I know he plays for Atlanta, and you may think I’m just throwing Falcons players on the list because I’m a fan, but the guy can play. He understands the game, and always seems to get the yards he needs.

6. Danny Woodhead- RB – New England: Show the kid some respect. He is the size of a professional midget wrestler, and somehow gets reps in the NFL at running back. Woodhead may not have the biggest muscles in the league, but he is in the top 5 for biggest heart….

5. Tashard Choice- RB- Dallas: This kid is loaded with talent, but is only number 3 on the depth chart? What sucks even worse is he could easily be the featured back for 7-10 teams right now?

4. Pierre Thomas- RB New Orleans: This guy gets no credit because he plays alongside Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. But Thomas has been the most consistent running back in the Nola for a long time.

3. Josh Freeman- QB – Tampa Bay: The kid was highly drafted, but plays well under the radar in Tampa Bay. He is consistent, and has shown he can have the burden of the QB of the future placed on his shoulders….

2. Kyle Orton- QB – Denver: The guy gets love from no one, but he is actually a pretty consistent QB. He had a pretty decent year in Denver, and this after his team traded away the majority of his weapons, and his coach was fired mid season.

1. Jacoby Ford- WR- Oakland: This guy wont but under the radar for much longer. Over his past few games, he has lit up defenses and special teams units. He is one of the fastest guys in the league, and

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

Friday Free For All Volume 8.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 8.0

By: J Shannon

With some sad, sad, news, I hate to be the one to say this, but football season is almost over. I know it is rough, but if we stick together as a Bro Nameth family, we will find a way to get through the rest of the year. By the Way, if you haven’t ADDED BRO NAMETH SPORTS ON FACEBOOK, PLEASE GET BROTIVATED AND ADD ASAP!

----Top 3 “I think you should know” Stories from this Week:

1.       Keith Fitzhugh, You are def. a BRO in my book….

If you haven’t read anything about this story, it is one of the more heartfelt stories going on in sports right now. Keith Fitzhugh is an ex NFL player who lives and works here in the Atlanta area. He is a train conductor with the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Fitzhugh was offered a practice squad spot with the New York Jets, and an opportunity to possibly stay on the rest of the year. Fitzhugh declined, stating he cannot take a risk on his dream, because he has a guaranteed paycheck every two weeks now. He also said that his paycheck he currently gets not only pays his expenses, but also helps support his parents. The fact that the guy will put aside his own dreams to keep supporting his parents says a lot….

2.       College Basketball Saturday..….

There are a few big games this weekend, and I’m looking forward to nothing more than kicking back on the couch, starting a nice fire, and throwing back a couple of good ol fashioned American Brew Ha Ha’s. I have your entire Saturday already planned out for you, so kick back and enjoy….

(20) UNLV @ (24) Louisville – 12:00 Ricky P has put together yet another big time squad, and this will be the first test to see just how good the team really is…

(11) Pitt @ (11) Tennessee – 3:15 - This should be a great game…. I’m loving what Pitt has to offer this year….

Indiana @ (17) Kentucky – 5:15 - I know this game isn’t what it once was, but it’s still not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

3.       Down goes Urban, Down goes Urban…..

I’ll be honest; I’m not a big Urban Meyer fan. I think he is a little over the top, and seems to be a bit of an ass all the time. But I can’t really blame the guy for stepping down. Let’s face it, the pressure at a school like Florida is outrageous. The pressure of winning is often times tougher than when you are losing. Just look at last season for example, the Gators went 10-1, and Florida fans were disappointed. Add in the fact that both of his most recent Coordinators left to take over as head coaches at other schools. If you are a coach like Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, Les Miles, or Jim Tressel, why would you take the job? Yea it pays well, and you get some serious recruits from Florida, but is it worth all the pressure? I think not….Good luck to the next fool who heads that way…. BY THE WAY… MY GUESS FOR NEXT COACH…. MARK RICHT… YEA I SAID IT.

---Things that have pissed me off this week:

1.       D-Bag who doesn’t wait in line to get off ramp, but cuts in front of you instead….

Let me tell you something, there is nothing worse than waiting in line to get off the interstate, and some D-Bag cuts a car off way up in front of you. I love when a person tries to cut in front of me in line; I make it my goal try and be the biggest ass possible. I really like to ask the person if they would like to get in front of me, and then when they say yes, purposely block them from cutting in line. If you live in Atl, you know what I’m talking about.

2.       A Player who commits a foul then throws his arms up like “What I Do?”

I love when a guy commits an obvious penalty, such as pass interference, and then throws his arms up at the ref. after the flag is thrown. Chances are pretty good you know you committed a foul. Stop your bitching and complaining, man up, and play the next play.

---Youtube Clips of the week:

·         The first clip this week comes courtesy of JaVale McGee, who attempts to get his Jordan on…. Rule Number 1 when dunking from the free throw line: Make sure you actually can…

·         Not only is the best play of the year in my opinion, but this might be the best defensive play I have ever seen…..

---Shout-Outs for the Weekend

·         Cecil Newton- Way to at least be man enough to not attend the Heisman Trophy presentation. You’ve already tainted your son’s stellar college career, the least you can do is let him celebrate the biggest night of his life without you stealing the spotlight….

·         New York Knicks- You guys resemble an actual NBA basketball team. Lead by MVP candidate Amare Stoudemire, the Knicks are starting to look like the Knicks of old….

·         The White Man in the NFL Ain’t just the Kicker…. – Don’t look now, but the white football player is back, and I’m not talking about just playing O-Line.  Watching the Colts game last night, I was reminded that guys like Blair White, Danny Woodhead, Wes Welker, Jordan Shipley, Toby Gerhart Riley Cooper, and Peyton Hillis. Defense is just as nasty, with Tom Nelson, Jim Leonard, AJ Hawk, Clay Mathews, and Brian Cushing

·          Joe Johnson’s Elbow…. Joe has been out 6 games, and the Hawks are 5-1. Shocker. Hey Joe, make sure that thing heels well my friend, you may need to lay off of it a few months or so….

·         BG- I’m just going to say I am extremely tired today, and have you to thank. Hope the NY is fun, and I better be getting something bad ass when you get back.

·         Matt Watts- Appreciate your input on the blog, even though I purposely try and disagree with you just to piss you off….

·         The 30 for 30 Series- I actually haven’t seen one yet that isn’t good. Even when I feel like I’m not going to be interested, I still get hooked. Here are my top 5 you need to check out….

1.       THE U- The racial and cultural evolution of Miami during the 1980s as represented within the University of Miami football team.

2.       Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks- The impact of Reggie Miller on the New York Knicks in the 1990s, specifically focusing on the 1995 NBA Playoffs and Miller's interaction with Knicks fan Spike Lee.

3.       Run Ricky Run-A profile of Ricky Williams focuses on his brief 2004 departure from the NFL, when he sought self-redemption amidst media criticism and fresh rumors of marijuana use.

4.       The Birth of Big Air- The life of Mat Hoffman and his 25 year career of advancing BMX riding, both creatively and promotionally.

5.       The Best that Never Was- The 1981 recruiting of high school football player Marcus Dupree by multiple big-time college programs, his resulting career, and how his recruitment changed the recruiting process

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.

Picking Contest, Braves and Hawks Chatter, Skip Bayless really is dumb

After another dismal performance by myself I have to admit I am kind of glad that I don't really have to pick any college games this weekend! I am straight getting worked by pretty much everyone in the contest. We had some folks not submit some picks so I made an executive decision to give you all ZERO'S. However, since almost everyone didn't pick it actually made the contest extremely close. So step your game up and don't miss this week! **Bo I cant find your picks on facebook but I know you made them...**Here is where we stand:

The Atlanta Braves have quietly put together some nice moves this off season. Everyone knows about Dan "Yo momma is" Uggla, but they signed lefty George Sherrill yesterday to a 1 year contract. Now some of you fantasy owners might recognize Sherrill from his days with the Orioles and his consistent 25-30 saves with them. Sherrill is a very crafty, hard throwing lefty who has been with the Dodgers the last 2 years. His stats last year were NOT good. However, lefties only hit around .190 off him last year and I think this definitely bolsters our bullpen. Nice work Frank Wren. Now go get us some help in CF.

The Hawks have been playing some great ball over the last week or so including a very impressive win over the Orlando Magic in Orlando. It would be to easy to take shots at Joe Johnson since the Hawks look BETTER without him in the lineup. I have always been one to take shots so here we go. Joe Johnson is bad and ruins our offense. He isn't worth nearly what we are paying him and his stupid Iso offense is just that, stupid. Since he has gone down the Hawks are 5-1 and looking good doing so. Josh Smith has elevated his game as has Al Horford. I still wish the Hawks would have signed Raymond Felton and let Joe walk. Felton is having a great year in NewYork and who knows, maybe we could have convinced a big FA next year to come here. It is what it is and we are stuck with Joe and his indifferent attitude. I did want to give a big shout out to the Hawks as they have earned it. Keep up the good work while Joe is out because once he returns i for see a bunch of 5-19 nights from him like we have grown accustomed to.

Skip Bayless is really starting to push my buttons. The guy has the BIGGEST AGENDA against the Atlanta Falcons that I have ever seen. He said the Falcons were the 9th best team in the NFL. Are you on drugs? Just because the Falcons don't blow people out they are an average football team? Please. I honestly cannot understand how someone who consistently makes moronic comments continues to GET PAID by the four letter network. I would love to debate him and I am confident I would absolutely destroy him if given the chance. Its bad enough that ESPN favors the northeast and the Atlanta teams as a whole get no love but for him to sit there are continue to put the Falcons down when they have done nothing but win and beat some pretty damn good football teams is an embarrassment to sports talk. I'm sure he is only saying these things to push buttons and get people fired up but at some point it just makes you look stupid.

Friday Free For All....Volume 6.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 6.0

It was rough, but I managed to find some time to pull away from the Deep Fried Turkey and put together an article for everyone to read this Black Friday. After a great day of the Triple F’s, Food, Family, and Football, I’m looking forward to nothing more than great football matchups the rest of the weekend! From the Bro Nameth Family to yours, we hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable, and that the rest of your weekend is relaxed and kicked back as can be. Enjoy the Friday Morning Free for All…..

Things I’m Thankful for…..

·     Marcus Lattimore- I’m thankful the kid decided to stay close to home and become a Gamecock. I’m looking forward to watching him develop the next couple of years!

·     Friends and Family- Friend and Family are the most important thing in life. I’ll go on record and say that I’m extremely rich in the area, and blessed to have some of the best friends and family a guy could ask for….

·     Coach Mike Smith- The guy has brought a whole new Attitude to the Atlanta Falcons. He brings in the players who are there to contribute to the team, and not cause any problem. He draft picks have been on point. He has the Falcons sitting Fat in first place in the NFC. A great stat- In the past 3 seasons, only Bill Belichick has more wins than Mike Smith…. That’s saying something….

·     I’m not the Atlanta Hawks- Special Shout out to Chris for this one. I’m glad I’m not the Hawks, who have to pay Joe Johnson $120 million over the next 5 years. He is the most OVERPAYED and OVERREATED player in the NBA  today…..

·     Bro Nameth Supporters- The more you guys read, the more we will write. We started out with a vision of wanting to have an outlet for people who watch sports to be able to say what they really want to say, and we are growing. Keep spreading the word, it means to world to us. On behalf of Chris and myself, we thank you….

Things other Teams and People should be Thankful for……

·     Oklahoma City Thunder- I’m pretty sure they are thankful for the Trailblazers taking Greg Oden number one overall. They ended up with a kid named Kevin Durant, who is only averaging 28 points a game. Oh yea, Oden is out for the season again….

·     New England Patriots- I’m pretty sure ol Belichick is enjoying a nice fat turkey leg after the slaying of the Detroit Lions yesterday. He is also probably planning what to do with the Third Round Pick he jacked from the Vikings in exchange for Randy Moss. People thought he was nuts for making the trade….looks like it turned out pretty well for him…..

·     Derrick Fisher – I’m sure Derrick is Thankful for deciding not to make the more to Miami, and instead stay with Kobe and Company. Miami is decent, and The Lakers look like they  are again on their way to the Finals….

·     Josh Hamilton- If anyone has anything to be Thankful for, it is Josh Hamilton. He was originally a Number 1 overall pick, but his career spiraled quickly out of control. The kid sat out of baseball for 3 years due to a drug problem. He finally got his life together, got sober and clean, and started training again. This year, he made it to the World Series, and added an MVP to his trophy case. Mad Props to J-Ham, he is def. a Bro….

·     MV7- Michael Vick…. I think even he is willing to admit that getting busted and spending time in the big house is the best thing that could have happened to him. He got is life in order, and now is playing the best football in his career….

·     Wayde Phillips- Look, everyone knew he was going to bet the boot sometime this season, he just needs to be Thankful that Jerry gave him the opportunity to be able to be home this Thanksgiving instead of working. All I’m saying is at least he got his walking papers before Thanksgiving....

Biggest Prediction for the Weekend:

I tried, I really tried, to give Brad “Chilly” Childress the heads up that the ax would be coming down on him this past Tuesday. Go back and Check it out, I predicted the Pack would lay the smackdown on the Vikes, and that “Chilly” would be standing in unemployment line by Tuesday. Well, I’ve got another prediction for you for the upcoming weekend.

I think that Saturday’s game between that other school in the upstate and South Carolina is going to be closer than most people think. The final score is going to be within 7 points, and I think South Carolina will put together back to back against Clemson. Final Score, looks like it’s going to be 28-21.

A couple of other predictions, Marcus Lattimore breaks the SEC freshmen record for touchdowns, tacking on 2 more this weekend. Also, your boy Jeffery finds the end zone as well.

----Youtube Clips of the week:

A couple of solid youtube clips of the week. First off, if you watched the Lions vs. Pats game yesterday for Thanksgiving, there was a solid segment CBS ran involving the life of fallen Bengal Chris Henry. Chris got into some trouble at times, but this clip was really interesting and I guarantee you will drop a tear or 2. Be sure to give it a watch. TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH THIS CLIP, SERIOUSLY…….

The second clip is dedicated to the d-bags who attempted to fry a turkey this year, and were unsuccessful. Here is what happens if you do not take the required steps to make sure your turkey frying experience goes the right way.

--Shout-Outs for the Weekend

·     Joe Paterno- Shout out for deciding to come back again next year. You made that school what it is today, and you should be able to coach as long as you want to.

·     Ohio State University President- Big Props for coming out and saying on record that TCU and Boise State need to schedule some actual teams in order to play for the National Championship. I do however give Boise State some credit, they are traveling to the deep south to open next season again those Georgia Bulldogs.

·     Anyone coming to ATL this weekend- It is going to be epic, if you aren’t coming, you should…

·     BG- The only person that makes sure they tell me they are mad every Friday morning when they see they don’t have a shout out. I think you should have definitely changed you plans Wednesday night; you would have had more fun. Also, no rain boots next week, so pick a night.

·     Meghan- You gave me an idea when you said you wanted to help with one of the top 10’s. So if anyone has a top 10 list suggestion they want to see for Monday Mornings, feel free to comment and I’ll do my best to knock it out….

·     Justice Malone- You single handedly took Bro Nameth Sports to a higher level last week. Keep it up, and keep sticking it to the man…

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.
