Hawks Grades and Some Braves off season updates

The Atlanta Hawks have come out of the gates swinging haymakers. New coach Larry Drew has added in his motion offense and the numbers dont lie. In 3/4 games the Hawks have scored 30+ points in the opening quarter including 40 last night against the Cavs. At almost 106 ppg the Hawks are among the league leaders in PPG. Averaging around 22 assists a game we are moving the ball very well and getting a lot of easy baskets. What grade would you give the Hawks early on?

Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford: A

• Mike Bibby has a 7.5/1 assist to TO ratio thru the first 4 games! That kind of production is impressive regardless of how many games you have played.
• Crawford appears to be just fine as he is averaging around 16 ppg.

Yo No Creo

Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Marvin Williams: A

• Josh Smith has been an absolute stud right out of the gate. The other night he blocked 3 shots in about a 12 second span with 1 of them just being ridiculous. Josh Smith can make me want to pull my hair out sometimes but when he has his head screwed on right he is easily one of the best overall players in the league
• Everyone knows im not a Joe fan but thus far you cant argue 21, 5 and 5 is not to bad. Is it worth 20 million? No, but it is what it is.
• Marvin Williams will never live up to being the #2 pick in the draft since we passed on CP3 but I will take 10 and 5 from him all day.

Al Horford and ZaZa: A

• Horford is a man child and has been offered a 5 year extension worth 60 million. 15 and 10 will make you some serious cash in the NBA and Horford deserves everything he gets. I have liked Horford from the get go and its no surprise he is the leader of this team. The man comes to play every night and plays hard.
• ZaZa might be my favortie player on the team. Ever since he stared KG down and told him to get the hell out of OUR building I have loved this guy. He only plays about 19 minutes a game but grabs around 6 or 7 boards and chips in 8-10 consistantly.

The Bench: B

• I would like to see Jordan Crawford get some more minutes as I think he could be a real scoring weapon later on in the season. The bench has been good thus far nothing to rave about but solid.

Team Grade: A

• The Hawks have always struggled winning away from the Highlight Factory so winning their first 3 road games is a major plus! We come home to play the crappy Pistons tonight before heading back out to play Minnesota. I fully expect the Hawks to win both games and be 6-0 to start the season. Unfortunately for us we play in the East with teams like the Heat, Celtics and Magic.

The Braves excersized their options on both Alex Gonzalez and Omar Infante yesterday. I like both the moves and this gives the braves some solid defense and hitting on the cheap. I also heard on the radio that some Japanese teams weer interested in getting Kamakazi. This is music to my ears. Hopefully we can dump him and get that waste of money of our books.

Weekend Betty White Awards and Coaching Morons

Idiot

What are you doing? No seriously what are you doing? Your a grown man gesturing to a COLLEGE kid right before he makes the kick to beat you. This would be considered absolutely Reggie Bush league in the NFL and it is absolutely unacceptable in College. Dont get mad that you got thrashed by a Florida offense who for the most part has been bad this year. If I was Chas Henry I would walk over to big bad ass Todd Grantham and tell him to suck my cleats. I was actually pulling for UGA to beat Florida as this would have basically sealed the deal for USC to represent the East in the SEC title game. I cant wait for Todd Grantham to take that defense down to Auburn and get mauled again.

The Weekend Betty White Awards



Get these people a Snickers bc they are playing like Betty White



1. The Cowboys. Are you kidding me? You easily have the most talent of any team in the league and you are 1-6. 1 in freaking 6. Im so glad im not a Cowboys fan or I would have probolby killed someone by now.
2. Michigan State and Missouri. Welcome back to Earth. Michigan State was flatter than my kid sister and Missouri was out of it before they knew what hit them. Way to take charge of your season.
3. Brett Favre. Retire already bro.
4. Notre Dame. I hate doing this but you dedicated the game to the student who died earlier in the week. You got beat by Tulsa! Cmon man thats bad. That is really bad.
5. Brad "Chilly" Childress. Way to utilize the greatest downfield receiver this generation has seen. Also, worst challenge I have ever seen in my life on the Tate catch. Pack your bags. Hasta Luego!

Happy Crappy Monday

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……

Hello Boys and Girls, it is another Crappy Monday Morning for everyone. It’s the first day of November, yea I don’t know where the time went either, but needless to say it is still a pretty crappy morning. I did a lot of traveling this weekend, and I’m going to be honest, I’m tired and cranky. But here it is, I learned a lot over the weekend….. Enjoy.

1. Way to Make it to the World Series and Not Show Up

Ok, I know that they won one game over the weekend, but what the hell has happened to the Texas Ranger’s offense? They are terrible. Someone needs to let them know that there is one more 7 game series after the ALCS. Vladdy couldn’t hit a beach ball with the way he has been swinging. Josh Hamilton is nowhere to be found either. I’m not sure what is going on with the team, but they made the 21 year old stud Bumgarner look like Nolan Ryan himself. This one is signed, sealed, and delivered. I’m willing to admit I was wrong about this one.

2. Favorite Holiday’s of the Year

It is the best time of the year. The three best holidays of the year are all within a 2 month stretch. Starting with Halloween, which is a wonderful night of watching gorgeous girls walk around the bar with absolutely nothing on. God Bless the Holidays. Then comes Thanksgiving, which is amazing. What a great way to spend a day by lying around all day and eating every other hour. There also use to be great football that day, but the two worst teams in football get to play on Thanksgiving Day, the Lions and the awful Cowboys. I use to complain during the Cowboys game; because it was a good team I wanted to watch but always ended up falling asleep during the game. Not this year, I would be happy to fall asleep during the game, Hell everyone in their stadium has been falling asleep during their games.

3. Those Damn Georgia Bulldogs

Really Georgia? Is there no way you could have closed the door after that come from behind you were making against Florida. Yet again the damn Bulldogs could not close the deal, and essentially the entire SEC Championship game is going to come down to the Florida vs. South Carolina football game on November 13. If Georgia would have pulled the game off, then South Carolina would have been sitting pretty to win the East. It looks like the Ol Ball Coach Is going to have to go down to Gainsville to win one of the biggest games of his career.

4. High Movie Ticket Prices

Should you not be able to bring your own set of 3D glasses to the movies? I mean lets be honest here, movie prices are getting crazy out of control. To go see a movie in 3D, the price is around $11, ALL THE TIME. There is no Matinee. What is the reason for this? The reason is to recoup the cost of the glasses. So I told the lady, I have my own 3D glasses, does that make a difference? She shut me down like it was nothing. It is just crazy.

5. Weird NFL Season

It has been a weird NFL season, so far, with so many of the normally good teams struggling, and so many of the crappy teams actually looking pretty decent. For starters, the Cowboys and Vikings suck ass. They are absolutely horrible. And out of nowhere, the Raiders, Chiefs, and Seahawks are pretty decent. Hell even the Lions have won a couple of games. I like seeing some parody in the league. I like the fact that each and every week, a different team has an opportunity to win. Sucks for the Cowboys though…..

6. Ciint Boyer wins in Talladega

Who cares, is NASCAR not over yet? Their season is way too long.

7. Rondo Rondo Rondo

Rajon Rondo is sick nasty. I know the guy is surrounded by good talent, but he is sick nasty. The kid is averaging 17 assist per game. But it isn’t just Rondo; the entire NBA is looking pretty good at the point guard position. I can’t remember the league ever having this many talented point guards. Between Rondo, Felton, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, John Wall, Kidd, Deron Williams, and Brandon Jennings, I would say the talent at the Point Guard Position is pretty solid. And Iverson wonders why no team in the NBA is interested in his services.

8. 24/7

If you haven’t had an opportunity to watch a 24/7 series on HBO, you are missing out. Regardless what topic they are talking about, the show is solid. It follows an athlete on a backstage access period of time during their preparation for a season for a big game. So far, the Jimmie Johnson episode, as well as the Mayweather vs. Mosley season has been the best. I highly recommend checking it out when you might get a chance.


9. Kids these Days

There was a kid killed over the weekend after he was shot for supposedly egging someone’s house on Halloween. I mean seriously, how cruel has the world gotten that we can even egg houses anymore. People have been egging houses for years, hell I’ve egged a house or 2 in my day. But to shoot a kid for supposedly, not even definitely, is crazy. Kids be careful, things aren’t the same way they use to be.

Friday Free For All…..Volume 2.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 2.0

Geeks, Hoes, sketch balls and Joes….Thank God it is Friday…. That’s all I’m saying. It has been a long, crappy, bad weather week. I’m looking forward to a great Halloween weekend back home in the great state of South Carolina with friends and family. Again another great weekend of football is ahead….But as usual; the best thing about Friday is the Friday Free for ALL….Enjoy Skeezers….

Top 3Things I’m looking forward to this weekend:

1. Georgia vs. Florida- Write this down, or take a picture, because this is a statement that I doubt will ever come out of my mouth again. “I am a HUGE Georgia Bulldog Fan this weekend!” Let’s go Bulldogs. A Georgia win would be massive in the South Carolina quest for the SEC Championship game. With a loss, Florida would have 4 loses in the SEC. Georgia would improve to 4-3. South Carolina, if they don’t lay a goose egg, SHOULD improve to 4-2, with the tiebreaker over Georgia. Essentially, if Georgia wins, it is a huge help for THE GAMECOCKS.

2. Halloween- Let’s just be honest, when we were younger, Halloween was so that we could go around all collect as much candy as possible. But as an adult, Halloween means one thing, it means every girl, even the good girls, have an excused night to make the most non slutty outfit as slutty as possible. What is better than that?


3. Callie Shannon Wilson- Alright listen, I don’t usually get all mushy and emotionally, but how often does your lil sister have her first daughter. Now I don’t know when she is going to make her grand entrance, sometime this week, but either way I’m happy for Robbie and Kristen….Uncle Jason in the House……

Top 3 things that have pissed me off this week:

1. Cliff Lee- Really, you wait all this time to lead a franchise into the World Series and you collapse faster than the Cowboys Practice Facility. I guess since you pitched brilliantly against the Yankees, knowing fully you will be playing in the pinstripes next year, that you figured the hell with the rest of the season. You remind me of Kenny Powers, telling his agent he is sick of being in Texas, and to get him paid bitch. Just remember, you are about to sign with a team who’s fans spit on your wife….I’m just saying….

2. Female Football Commentators – Look, I have no problem with females in sports. I’m down with the WNBA, Title 9, and all that other jazz. Look if a female John Wall comes along and can hang with Kobe and Chris Paul, then that would be bad ass, do your thing Shorty…. But is there not anyone else on the planet we can get to do Tuesday night football commentary for the Boise State vs. whatever Louisiana High School team they played? I would have done it for free. I just cannot have a woman who clearly does not know her football tell me why she believes Boise State can hang with some of the best teams in the country. ESPN, step your game up, seriously.

3. Meathead at the gym who carries a gym bag and a gallon of water- You go to the gym for a purpose. To work out, and check out the hotties on the treadmills. But I’m going to be honest, If I have to see one more dude carrying around an enormous gym bag, rocking a gallon of water, I’m going to go lose my mind. What could you possibly need in a gym that would necessitate an entire bag? And what is wrong with the normal size water bottle? Is there a problem with refilling at the fountain? Seriously…. Tell me that doesn’t piss you off? And to make matters worse, come up to me one more time and ask me how many reps I got left? I purposely do extra reps just to be an ass when this goes down.

Youtube Clips of the week:

I’m a fan of old school wrestling from back in the early 90’s. This clip is classic. If you have ever wondered why all wrestling events require all floor chairs to be tied together now, this is why:




And Finally-

Big Game Predictions for the Weekend, if you don’t agree, tell me. I was also informed by a fellow BRO that I wasn’t Bro enough if I didn’t Pick against the spread. The spread is now added…..

#7 Missouri vs. #14 Nebraska – Nebraska is giving 7.5 at home, yea I’ll take Nebraska. Missouri is overrated.

#3 Auburn vs. Ole Miss- Sorry Ole Miss, your defense sucks more than a Dyson vacuum. I’ll take Auburn and give you the 7.

#1 Oregon vs. #24 USC- Not too sure how USC is ranked, but Oregon’s offense is sick-nasty. I’ll take Oregon and gladly give them the 6.5. Hell I’ll give them 16.5.

Georgia vs. Florida- This is a Massive game for the Gamecocks. Since the spread is only 2 points, and I’m hoping Georgia goes to Jacksonville and does work. I’ll take Georgia.

South Carolina vs. UCheat – This is a tough one for me to pick. I’m going to take Tenn. The spread is 18. South Carolina just doesn’t usually do work but 18 or more. Let’s go Cocks though…..

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.

4. The dousche with the pony tail and flanel unbuttoned shirt tonight that stole my parking space at Target. 

SEC and Falcons Recap, World Series Prediction

SEC and Falcons Recap, World Series Prediction

Everyone knows the SEC is the biggest baddest conference in College Football and if you don’t like it suck on some stats:

                -The last 4 National Champions have come from the SEC (Florida, LSU, Florida, and Alabama)

                -The SEC has had the most players drafted into the NFL in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and only twice since 1998 has the SEC not lead all conferences in players drafted.

                -8 coaches are in the top 20 of highest paid. You could argue that this doesn’t mean they are the best but you’re wrong. The BEST coaches want to coach in the BEST conference (outside of Texas, OK, and USC)

Like most of you I live for Saturdays. Nothing beats sitting around drinking some good ol fashioned American Brewhaha, armchair coaching like your Tom Landry, yelling to your wife “make me a pie woman”  and watching football.

Arkansas vs. Mississippi: I really could care less about this SEC game but I watched it since it’s either that or listen to Dike McGee over on the 4 letter network. “Hi it’s Pam Ward for the noon tilt between Purdue and Ohio State.” Pam Ward should only be doing WNBA and women’s Lacrosse games for obvious reasons. Arkansas is really pretty good. If they could ever improve their D they might make some noise. Mallett can chuck it and did so early leading to a 21-0 lead. Prisoner 245675A led a furious comeback but Ole Miss falls short 38-24.

Auburn vs. LSU: “The Tigers will win today.” Quote from my boy Verne Lundquist. Actually he’s not my boy at all and throws out these stupid little comments all game so he and Gary Danielson can play footsie with their back and forth commenting all game. Anyway, Cam Newton is in full on Beast Mode. The guy is 6’6 and weighs 250, and he’s a freaking QB. He’s clearly going to win the Heisman and he deserves it. He has ALREADY set the single season rushing record for a QB in the SEC in 8 games. That’s pretty decent. LSU is good and all but their offense is bad. How they can’t put together a good offense is beyond me. Russell Shepard if im not mistaken was a top 3 QB and they moved him to WR!?!?! Seems like a good idea. Regardless Auburn ran for like 3 miles so that’s never good when you’re trying to win a football game.  Les Miles is the luckiest bastard I know and it finally ran out on him. “Have a great Day Les”.

Georgia vs. Kentucky: I will be honest I didn’t watch all that much of this game since it was on the same time as the USC/Vandy game. Georgia basically beat the doodoo out of Kentucky like Carolina should have so I give them props on that. Georgia is slowly turning its season around and incredibly is still very much alive for the SEC east title.

Tenn vs. Alabama: “The third Saturday in October” was an absolute beat down in the 2^nd half. Tennessee is pretty awful and will get beat down again next weekend at Carolina. I still can’t figure out why Alabama is still ranked where they are. They should be ranked ahead of Boise and TCU. What a crock of shit.

Vandy vs. S.Carolina: I contemplated watching Pam Ward’s “Call me Lenny DIKEstra” documentary instead of this game. My God was it boring as hell. Outside of watching Steve Spurrier throw his visor a few times this was a total waste of my time.

Miss. State vs. UAB: What a doozy here. Again, the Pam Ward DVD was calling my name but I turned it down. By the way, Miss. State is now ranked for those of you who don’t know.

The Atlanta Falcons returned home after getting drilled by the Eagles last week in Philly. This was a big game as the Falcons could feel good about themselves being 5-2 going in their bye week with a win. I will say that they came out and played the best half of football I have seen a Falcon team play in a while. The offense was unstoppable, the defense was great and everything was running smoothly. What I like most is that when Cincinnati made that frenetic comeback in the 3^rd quarter the Falcons answered when they needed to. Roddy White is a baller. He doesn’t need to send T-shirts to get himself ready to open a can on the DB’s of Cincy. However a “Do Work Bro” T-shirt from Bro Nameth would have been sweet.

Quick World Series Prediction for you:

-Rangers in 6 with Cliff Lee being WS MVP going 2-0 with a 1.43 ERA

                -Josh Hamilton hits 2 dingers and Vlad Guerrero  hits over .300
