Betty White Awards, Braves Talk and NFC Playoff Chatter

Well 2011 is upon us and lets cut right to the chase. These guys need a snickers and need it fast. Here we go:

1. Brett Favre: This really has nothing to do with his play, bc we all know that has sucked. Now your starting to hear the stories about how this guy is a creepy old man and obviously a big cheater. If this were 5-6 years ago I might think for a half second this wasn't completely true but after all the shit this guy has put everyone through with his "I'm retiring, no wait you've been punked" I hope he goes down like Frazier circa 1973. Peace out Brett
2. The Big Ten: I don't want to have to beat a dead horse here but can we stop with the Big Ten is good this year talk EVERY year. The Big Ten is a joke and should get their 1 BCS game then go play in the Pampers Bowl on December 21st. The fact that they had 5 New Years day bowls is laughable. They went 0-5 and got thumped in 3 of them. The Michigan schools faired very well. Michigan loses 52-14 to Miss. State and Michigan State got the elbow of death dropped on their nose by Alabama 49-7. And big whoop Ohio State beat Arkansas. I am not all that impressed with Arkansas and to be honest OSU almost blew their big halftime lead.
3. Dick Clark: I am sure this is going to come across about as jerkish as possible but I know I am not the only one thinking this so I will bite the bullet and go ahead and just say it. The dude doesn't need to be on Live TV anymore. He just had a stroke and well....it shows. I know I know, the dude is a legend and I'm an asshole. But you cant honestly tell me it was enjoyable watching him on the New years Eve bash when he was mumbling the whole time. Know when to hang it up.
4. South Carolina Football: Way to go! Get smoked by a Florida State team you should have beaten. Way to go Stephen Garcia you were responsible for another 4 turnovers. I don't know why I get mad bc this shit happens every year. "Wait until nest year." How about you take your tampon out and make a freaking play already. Absolutely NO EXCUSES next year as we have every major offensive weapon back.

The Atlanta Braves signed Yo momma is Uggla to a 5 year 62 million dollar contract. Now, at first glance you might say "why the hell did we pay a 2B 15 mill a year." Here's why...the guy averages around 30 HR's and 100 RBI's a year. You would be hard pressed to find another 2B other than Chase Utley that will give you those kind of numbers. So when you break it down that way he is worth every penny. You pay a guy like Derek lowe 15 million a year and he plays 1/5 days. Dan Uggla is a player and IMO is worth everything we paid him.

I will have this on the post for tomorrow in the Picking contest but wanted to let you hear it here first. Did you know the New Orleans Saints have never won a playoff road game?? That's right folks. The saints travel to Seattle for the first round of the playoffs. You heard it here first...THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS BEAT THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ON SATURDAY!

Frank Wren is a beast. Absolute Beast. In case you havent heard the Braves traded for Dan "Yo Momma is" Uggla the other day for Omar "Gooding" Infante and Mike Dunn. Uggla has averaged 32 HR and 97 RBI's a season in his 5 seasons in the pros. Considering we gave up a BP reliever and a glorified journeyman I would say this is an absolute steal. The Braves have added a MUCH needed power bat and with a TON of money coming off the books next year Uggla will get signed to a 4-5 year deal. We have given ourselves a pretty strong core of younger players that could allow the Braves to make a run at it every year for the next 6-7 years. I have been pretty hard on Frank Wren but what a great trade!

Betty White Awards, Coaching Morons and Frank Wren aka Steals McGee

What's not to love about this lady over here to the right? NOTHING! Just don't play like her. Sit back and grab a snickers, these are the Betty White Awards.

1. Dan Snyder: I know this guy doesn't play he just owns the Redskins but 78 million over 5 years for McFlab?!?! This has got to be a joke. He is clearly hungry so why wait? Grab a snicks brah.
2. The Redskins defense: Are you serious? 28 points in the 1st quarter with around 280 yards of offense? Way to step up and come out strong. I know MV7 is playing good ball and all but that is unacceptable. The fans should get to split the entire defenses checks that week for PAYING to come out and watch that.
3. GT Basketball team: You just got thumped by KSU. NO not Kansas State. The mighty fighting Owls of Kennesaw State! Not only did you lose but you got drubbed by 17. When is GT just going to bite the money bullet and fire Paul Hewitt?
4. NY Football Giants: Say what you want about the Cowboys are revitalized and all that crap but to come out and get drilled by a lifeless 1-7 Cowboys team with Jon Kitna at QB is an embarrassment. Your fighting for home field in the playoffs and the Cowgirls just laid a WWE smackdown on you in your own building. How do you know when you deserve a BWA? When Keith Brooking makes 8 tackles against you. Albeit they were all Pile Jumps.

The coaching moron of the week has to go to Paul Hewitt over at Georgia Tech. I don't care how good or bad your team is you should NEVER I repeat NEVER get absolutely run out of the building against a team like Kennesaw State! Your a school from the ACC playing a division 2 team. The bottom line is this should never happen. At one point Tech was down by 20 in the first half. Paul Hewitt likes to bring up the fact that Tech cut the lead to only 5 in the 2nd half. Big woop. Your on the way out Paul, peace!




For anyone who has followed BNS for a while now knows that I have been kind of hard on Frank Wren. He has made some very very suspect trades and FA signings the last few years in my eyes. But then he goes out and does something like this, and totally redeems himself! Dan Uggla for Omar Gooding and Mike Dunn? Did the Braves win the lottery? What an absolute steal. In the 5 years Uggla has been in the league he has averaged 32 HR's, 97 RBI's and hit around .265. I will take that all day from a 2B. The Braves were in desperate need of adding a BIG time bat and I think they have done this with the addition of Uggla. Frank Wren has earned a good ole fashioned American on this one. Enjoy it Steals McGee.
