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.

Weekly Awards..Betty White, 5 Hour Energy and the Mike Tyson Award

Well its that time again! Time for Betty White to show her face. Grab a Snickers and stop playing like Betty White.

1. LeBron James: Stop acting like a diva and start making plays. Spoelstra calls you out for taking everything like a joke and you bump into him after a timeout. Say what you want but that little bump was done on purpose. Again, the WORST decision those guys made was playing together. Too many egos on 1 team.
2. Stevie Johnson: First off your named after a Pop Star from Saved by The Bell and second did you really just blame God for dropping the ball? Are you kidding me? You literally cant dig yourself out of a comment like that. You make at worst 400K a year to play football and your blaming God? This has got to be an all timer for stupidity.
3. Skip Bayless: You really have got to be the dumbest guy that works for the 4 letter network other than Jamelle Hill. On LIVE TV Skip said the Falcons have not beaten anyone at home other than the Cardinals. Yes he said the Cardinals. This was AFTER the Falcons just beat GB the day before and are only 2 weeks removed from beating the Ravens! It really does make me wonder how someone like that gets paid to give his opinion. Get informed and Get Brotivated.
4. Boise State: You just blew a 17 point lead to NEVADA. Let me say that again, you just blew a 17 point lead to NEVADA! This just goes to show you what I have been saying for 3+ years now. You stick a team like Boise in a conference where they don't get to play patty cakes every week and they will slip up. You freaking lost to NEVADA! Don't give me this "Oh Nevada is good" crap. Please. Nevada wouldn't win 6 games playing an SEC schedule. Someone put the kicker on Suicide Watch.
5. Alabama: You just blew a 24-0 lead against Auburn at Home. I cannot ever remember seeing a Nick Saban coached team just falling apart like that. They couldn't do anything on offense and couldn't stop anyone on defense. The offensive side of the ball is where they got wooped. After dropping nearly 400 yards of offense on Auburn's chin in the first half they literally couldn't do jack in the 2nd half. And what the Hell was Mark Baron doing on that horrible attempt at picking off that pass that went for the long TD?? It looked like he missed it on purpose. Watching it LIVE I was thinking that was going to be intercepted but instead it went for a long TD.

Someone get the Cal Golden Bears Men's Basketball team a case of 5 hour energy! My God did they have that 2:30 feeling a couple of days ago. They scored 5 points in the first half of a game. 5 POINTS! That is almost impossible to do. You really would have to try and NOT score in order to only score 5 points. They shot 2-25 and 0-8 from trey land. Bro Nameth did some research and found out the lowest scoring half of all time in NCAA is 4 points. That was by Davidson against Duke. Ironically they came back and on the game! Yo no creo for Cal. They still got beat and thus have earned the 5 Hour Energy Award.
