Happy Crappy Monday......Volume 11.0

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 11.0

By: J-Shannon

Christmas has come and gone, and it’s now time to look forward to the New Year’s Eve weekend, and big Bowl Games. I myself will be in Jacksonville, FL, for the Gator Bowl. I’m going to watch Mississippi State battle with the Wolverines of Michigan. Personally, I don’t care who wins the game, as long as it is a good game, with some good Weather, and a couple of ice cold Brews.  

1.       Monday Night Football Countdown

It’s another Monday Night, and that means there is another game on Monday Night Football. Normally, I would watch the game no matter who is playing, but this game is an exceptionally large football game. The Dirty Birds are battling their arch rival Saints, with the opportunity to win the division. Even if the birds lose tonight, they will have an opportunity to wrap up the division next week against the pathetic Panthers. But I think by winning tonight, the Birds would be making a solid statement, a statement saying they are the team to beat this year in the NFC. I’m hoping the Dome is packed and rocking, and hoping that the fans of the Birds are preparing themselves for some playoff football! Let’s make a statement, and make it possible to rest a couple of starters next week.

2.       Blizzard up and Down the East Coast

Did we get a white Christmas in the South East? Well not really, but we did get a day after Christmas snow storm. It was nice to see the family out playing in the snow, and having a good time. I’m actually surprised, usually the South East panics when there is a snow storm. It didn’t seem to crazy this year. My home town ended up with about 4 inches, which isn’t too shabby…..

3.       Deuces Tom Coughlin…

Coach Coughlin, go ahead and start sending your Thank You Cards out. Here is a little suggestion as to what his Thank you cards might look like…..

Dear Eli- Thank you for continually throwing pick after pick. Those 2 turnovers a game sure do help your team get a head start on the opponent.

Dear Matt Dodge- For Christmas, we should have got you a hearing Aid. If I’m not mistaken, I told you to your face not to kick the ball to DeSean Jackson. Thanks for not only kicking it to him, but kicking a line drive to give him plenty of time to see the field and pick and choose his way to the end zone.

Dear Brandon Jacobs- You have one main job on the team: Hold the football, and run with it. How about in the off season, work on part one. HOLD THE FOOTBALL. Thanks.

Dear Justin Tuck and the Rest of the D- Thanks for nothing. Although you have the reputation for being a tough D that knocks out opposing QB’s, you got scorched for 45 points against the Packers Sunday afternoon. Not only did you possibly cost the team the playoffs, but you may have also cost me my job. I think it is only fair for you to pay the $21.95 monthly membership fee for the Gold Membership to Monster.com for me, so that I can post my resume….

So Tom, when you received your pink slip and are about to head out the door, throw up your “Deuces” because you should be a little bit bitter. You would think your team would give you a little more effort on their part to help not only save the team’s season, but also save your job.  

4.       24 Hours of A Christmas Story…

Possibly one of the best Idea’s ever. In my household, when Christmas Eve rolls around, 24 Hours of a Christmas Story is on constantly. I honestly feel like I have seen it over 100 times, but when the movie is on in our living room, that’s how I know it is Christmas time.

5.       LeBron wins the first Battle, but Kobe will win the War…

Congrats LeBron and crew, you did your thing on Christmas Day. You took down the Lakers. But it was just one game. I hate to tell you, but if you want to win the ship, you have to beat the Lakers 4 out of 7 times. That’s assuming you get past the Celtics and the Magic. By the way LeBron, keep away from Ron Artest. What were you thinking getting in your little scuffle with him? That dude is from the Bronx, and would beat you down faster than you can say “What should I Do?”

6.       To Catch a Predator, best Show Ever….

If it is late night, and you cant sleep, or if you are feeling bad about yourself and need a moral boost, change it to MSNBC and check out “To Catch a Predator.” This show is priceless. What better people to make fun of than a 46 year old married man, who is chatting about sex to a 13 year old child. I love when the loser shows up at the door, with a 12 pack of “Mikes Hard Lemonade” and some condoms. When the host, Chris Hanson, asks the predator what he is doing at the little girl’s house, the usual reply is something along the lines of: “we were just going to hang out, or we def. weren’t going to have sex.” It makes it even better when the host reads the transcript from the online chat. Check it out if you have nothing better to do, it will def. make you feel better about yourself.

7.       A look back at the 2005 NFL Draft

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, to the 2005 NFL Draft. Why the 2005 draft? Well I was watching a game this weekend and it reminded me of the 2005 draft. Think back to who was picked first that year….. You remember? Alex Smith was taken first by the 49ers. They had a choice between him and a guy named Aaron Rodgers, and chose Smith…. Sucks to be the 49ers. It goes to show you that knowing the draft class inside and out is so vitally important to an organization. Some teams get it (Falcons and Patriots) and some teams don’t (Lions and 49ers).

8.       TUESDAY night Football…. Yea I’ll take it…..

So the Blizzard in the North East did do one thing, it rescheduled Sunday night’s game to Tuesday. That works for me, as it looks like I’ll watch NFL games Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of this week. Hey, no complaints here, the more NFL the better in my book By the way, it will be an Eagles Beat down over old man Favre and the Vikings….

9.       Reality TV…

OK, I am willing to admit I am a sucker for some reality TV. I’ve got a few shows I have been watching lately that I need to pass along….

-Auction Kings-Filmed a block from my house in ATL, follows an auction gallery. Pretty Solid.

-Pawn Stars- Filmed out in Las Vegas, following the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop.

-Storage Wars- Follows guys who buy Storage Units not knowing what’s inside in order to make   $$$

 -Swamp People- Follows Hillbillies in the Swamps in Louisiana as they hunt for Gators.

10.   THE TOP 10 in the TOP 10….

In honor of Number 7 above, we have a unique Top 10 this week. Sometimes teams find gold in the first round of the draft, and some teams are lucky enough to find gold in the 6^th and 7^th rounds. Here is a top 10 list of NFL Players who went UNDRAFTED in the Past 10 YEARS…..

2010- LEGARRETTE BLOUNT-Oregon- The verdict is still out, but it looks like so far Blount is the guy teams are wishing they would have looked at a little harder. Of course his punching a guy in the face post game incident is ultimately why he was passed up, but the Bucs are sure enjoying his hard nosed running…..

2009- ARIAN FOSTER- Tennessee- Who knew an undrafted RB who had a mediocre college career would be starting in front of a guy named Steve Slayton. Foster has killed it all year for the disappointing Texans, and looks to be their back for the next few years. Keep in mind they are paying him next to nothing for all of this work, because he went undrafted.

2008- BENJARVUS GREEN-ELLIS- It is no surprise that the Patriots discovered an undrafted gem. The team has been the model franchise for the past 10 years. They are known for finding guys who fly under the radar, but deliver on the field.

2007- PIERRE THOMAS- Illinois- What has this undrafted RB done for the Saints? Only lead them to the Super Bowl and helped win the game. Thomas has been a nice compliment to Reggie Bush, doing the bulk of the heavy carrying up the middle.

2006- MILES AUSTIN- Monmouth State- It took a couple of years for this one to develop, but Miles has turned into the big play threat for the Cowboys. The guy Is on a team with 2 First Round receiver picks, yet is the Number One guy.

2005- Joshua Cribbs- Kent State- Ask any casual football fan to name a player that plays for the Cleveland Browns, and the majority of people can only name Joshua Cribbs. I actually feel bad for him for being found by the horrible Browns. The guy needs to finish out that contract and get out of their ASAP….

2004 WES WELKER- Texas Tech- I know what you are thinking, another good find by the Patriots. Actually no, the Chargers found Welker, but somehow let him go to New England. Welker is the ultimate possession receiver, slashing up opponents defenses left and right. You don’t think he is valuable, look at Brady’s numbers with him and without him…..

2003 ANTONIO GATES- Kent State- Another Kent State player, Gates has been one of if not the best TE in the past 5 years. Phillip Rivers uses the guy as his security blanket. The man will catch anything thrown in his vicinity, and blocks with the best of them….

2002 JAMES HARRISON- Kent State- I have learned 2 things in doing this list. Number 1, the 2002-2006 Kent State team had some studs playing for them. Number 2, if you are looking for some hidden gems, check Kent State. If you watch Sportscenter, Harrison is no one new to you. He is the guy who gets fined weekly for lighting people up like the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The man can flat out play linebacker.

2001 ANTONIO PIERCE- Arizona- Antonio was the rock in the middle of the Defense that lead the New York Giants to the Super Bowl. Yea he is out of the league now, but he was one of the best LB’s in the NFL for about 8 solid years.

2000 SHAUN O’HARA- Rutgers- Look at the Giants doing it again. Shaun O’Hara is a stud who to this day anchors the O’Line for the Giants. The man goes to Pro Bowls like it is mandatory in his contract. What a steal for the Giants.

I will be adding the "Non Bro" of the week. This goes to someone who no matter what they do from here on out will never be a Bro no matter what because of something that has happened in the past. This weeks award goes to this guy:



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

Betty White, 5 Hour Energy, Mike Tyson and new AWARDS

Here we are another week in and its that time again. Grab a snickers and pass it to these guys because they are playing like Betty White.

1. Albert Haynesworth: I have had about all I can stand of hearing about this clown. You got paid 100 million dollars to play football! Your playing a SPORT for 100 MILLION DOLLARS! Get over yourself already. You should be doing whatever the hell they tell you to do and liking it. You get paid all that money and literally are just a big tool box.
2. The Washington Nationals front office. You seriously just gave Jayson Werth 126 million over 7 years?? You need more than a Snickers because the entire Front Office should be fired for this. You have a guy who hits in an incredibly hitter friendly park in 1 of the best lineups in baseball. Now you move him to a not so hitter friendly park with the Nationals lineup. Good luck with that. For that kind of money he better hit .300+ and hit close to 40 HR's. WOW is all I have to say. Kudos to Scott Boras.
3. The South Carolina Football Team. I was at the game this last Saturday against Auburn and let me say what an ass kicking that was. Not only did you just get drilled, but you made the Auburn defense and Ted Roof look good! I don't care what anyone says Ted Roof might be the worst defensive coordinator in football and he made South Carolina look terrible. Spurrier, step your game up bro. Garcia, stop being Jekyl and Hyde. Lattimore and Jeffrey, you both didn't have a good game but your still awesome. Stephon Gilmore, I will get to you later. I should write Steve Spurrier and tell him I want a refund after that performance. Much like the Oregon fan did last year when Oregon got thumped by Boise State.
4. The NCAA. Its pretty amazing to me that when the NCAA has a vested interest in something it can make a decision very quickly. Did you know that the Reggie Bush case sat dormant for 18 months before they started investigating again? They made a ruling on Cam Newton in 2 days! 2 freaking days! Why do you think that is? Maybe its because they would rather get a sponge bath from Rosie O'Donnell before they would want TCU in the National Championship game. Once again its the Golden Rule in effect. The people with the gold make the rules. That's the way it is. This has EVERYTHING to do with Newton and Auburn playing Oregon in the National Championship game. What is so sad is that the NCAA admitted that a rule was broken, yet he is allowed to play. Seems logical.

The 5 Hour Energy award this week is a pretty simple choice. Stephon Gilmore from South Carolina wins this award and wins it easily. Gilmore gave up 268 passing yards ALONE, that's right 268 yards including a hail mary pass where Gilmore apparently thought it required him to actually say the Hail Mary while kneeling. Gilmore was worked like a rented goalie on more than 1 occasion but the double move Darvin Adams put on him was dirtier than Bill Clinton. He needed to pound at least a 6 pack of 5 Hour Energy because he definitely had that 2:30 feeling.

The Mike Tyson Award for biggest beat down goes to the NY football JETS. Not only is Rex Ryan a fat slob, he is also the cockiest dude I know who has not accomplished anything as a head coach. He took the 9-2 Jets into New England to face the 9-2 "Home of the Pats". The beat down that ensued was huge. The pats rolled out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter on their way to a 45-3 win. Dirty Sanchez was just that, dirty. He threw 3 picks and the JETS offense as a whole was pretty pathetic. The Patriots and "the hoodie" proved why they are still the team to beat in the AFC.

We got a New Award this week. The Dyson Vacuum Award. This award goes to the player/coach who "it sucks to be you" the most. That award is shared by 2 former colleagues in former Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniel's and Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen. It sucks to be Josh McDaniel's because, well he was fired only a year and a half in. To say he is no longer viewed a young coach on the rise is an understatement. The Broncos started 6-0 last year before collapsing and they sit at 3-9 this year. He also drafted Tim Tebro in the first round. It sucks to be the Broncos owner because once he hires a new coach, he will be paying 3 head coaches all at the same time. He still owes Mike Shannahan money, he will owe Josh McDaniel's money for a few more years, and last but not least he will have to pay the new coach. Its not like he doesn't have the money but that's a Chili's Triple Dipper I wouldn't want.

That's it for this weeks awards. If you have any suggestions on awards or who should get an award please email us BNSports2010@gmail.com. Also, there is a link on the top right of the blog titled "Aquatic Rehab Pool" that you should click on and check out. It's a new rehab method that uses underwater treadmills. Its a pretty sweet idea and you should check it out. They are currently being used by multiple professional teams and colleges and the idea is rather cool.

Shout Out to all the Bro Nameth Supporters and all the regular loyal readers. We really appreciate it.

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.
