Hawks update, this weekends picking contest continued and Veterans Day Tribute

So the Hawks start out 6-0 and everyone including myself is feeling good about the team and the new offense. I am not going to bash them everytime they go on a losing streak and play poorly but I am going to call them out when they play this bad. Im sitting here with a good ole fashioned American BrewHAHA and watching them get absolutely drilled by the Bucks. I mean this is an absolute ASS kicking. Brandon Jennings is playing like no one is guarding him, Joe Johnson with his typical unassuming 13 points where you can barely tell he is even playing and Josh Smith turning the ball over everytime he tries to make a move to the basket.

I know it is early on but this is starting to turn into the Hawks under Mike Woodson. Lots of standing around watching Joe dribble around doing nothing to take a bad shot and hope we might get an offensive rebound. I know this is only 1 game but Im hoping it doesnt escalate into something more. I was pleading with the Hawks management to let Joe walk and resign Crawford to a 3 year deal. That would not tie our hands with the contract Joe signed which is just obsurd. You could make Jordan Crawford the off the bench scoring weapon and have some money to make a move down the road.

As I am writing this Jordan Crawford is looking like an offensive freak. Jeff Teague is pushing the ball everytime he gets it and the Hawks look great. To bad they were down 29 going into the 4th! Another beef I have with the Hawks offense is when things start to get dull and the shots arent falling we need to push the ball like madmen. Every starter is young and can run. You have maybe the best finisher in the league in Josh Smith yet I see the Hawks consistantly walking the ball up the court.

Batted Down at the Line

Cam Newton is the best player in College Football and its really not even close. Unfortunately for him, his dad took money from Auburn (He is guilty, THEY ALL ARE) to get Cam to play there and this is going to ruin Auburn's National Title hopes if not now, then down the road. If Cam does win the Heisman (Which I Think he should) once its proven that he did accept money they are going to take it back just like they did with Reggie Bush.

A report came out this morning on both ESPN and CBSSportsline that Cecil Newton, Cams father, wanted "more than a scholarship" for his son to go to Mississippi State. Here it is straight from the CBS article:

Prior to Newton's commitment to Auburn, one of the recruiters said Cecil Newton told him it would take "more than a scholarship" to bring his son to Mississippi State, a request the source said the school would not meet. Cecil Newton also referred the recruiter to a third person that would provide more specifics, the source said.


After Newton committed to Auburn, another source said an emotional Cam Newton phoned another recruiter to express regret about his change of commitment from Mississippi State, stating that his father Cecil had chosen Auburn for him because "the money was too much."

I am an Auburn fan as I went their my freshman year of College before transferring to South Carolina. Auburn fans are blind if they think that the Newton's did nothing wrong and this is not true. Why would someone make this up? Mississippi State is having the best year they have had in a long time so why would they all of a sudden just start making this stuff up? Why throw out a figure like $180,000 if you didnt have some kind of contact requesting that amount? It doesnt make sense to make any of that up. Where there is smoke their is fire. I cannot think of a SINGLE college athlete who has faced accusations like this that was proven innocent. It doesnt happen.

Look, if I was Cam Newton and my dads church was falling down and I could help him with that I would have probobly done the same thing. Continuing to deny is only going to make you look more foolish. Reggie Bush to this day continues to deny deny deny and yet they have his uncle on tape confirming Reggies family took money! I dont get it, just admit it and get it over with. Nowadays there are to many people out there digging around to get away with something like this. If he is proven innocent I will be the first person to stand up and say I was wrong but history tells me I am right on the "money" with this one.

The NCAA better act on this fast because Auburn staying undefeated while having an ineligible player is directly effecting the BCS including TCU, BOISE and LSU. If I am one of the 3 teams mentioned before and Auburn goes on to win the National Title but 2 years down the road they find out hes guilty and strip them of the National Title I would be livid. LSU lost at Auburn by a late TD and that is their only loss. If Newton is ineligible then LSU is prob the #2 team in the country right now and in the drivers seat for a National Title shot. Both Boise and TCU are probobly going to be on the outside looking in anyway, but if Auburn is stripped later on and they were screwed out of a chance to play for the NT I would try and sue. I don't know if thats something you can even do but I would try.

The Weekly Betty White Awards and Coaching Morons

Whats a guy got to do get some Betty White in his life? Simple, play like her. Get these boys a big ass Snickers....they need it.

1. South Carolina- What the hell was that? Way to step up. I know in the grand scheme of things that game is irrelevant but grab yourself a Snickers and snack up. Biggest game in the schools history this weekend.
2. Dallas Cowboys. Are we all getting punked? Is Ashton Kutcher about to pop out? How are you this bad? It really is almost impossible that you are 1-7.
3. The Patriots. You just got thumped, and I mean THUMPED by the Browns! Who knew between Felix Jones, Darren McFadden and Peyton Hillis that Peyton Hillis would have the most TD's in their careers thus far. Tom Brady needs to stop straightening his hair before games and man up.
4. Keith Brooking. Do you know a bigger toolbox than Keith Brooking? The guy hasn't made a play since the Y2K yet he runs around trying to get people fired up. He opened a bar in Atlanta called Pile Jumpers bc thats all he does. Now I don't know about you guys but this might be the most flaming pump up speech I have ever scene. This guy cant hold Al Pacino's Jock. "For each otherrrrrrr". Shut your face Keith. Im pretty sure this is why the Cowgirls are 1-7. Mel Gibson is laughing at this.

The coaching moron of the week goes to none other than Wade Phillips. I know we are just piling on at this point but stop being everyones best friend (sound familiar Bobby Cox fans) and learn how to coach a team. His record with Dallas is still 34-20 despite starting 1-7 this year BUT that is unacceptable to Jerry Jones. Winning a bunch of games in the regular season with the Cowboys means absolutely nothing. Its all about championships and WP was not getting the job done. I wish the same mentality was shown by the Atlanta Braves all those years we won DURING the regular season.

Im going to post a new video each week with the BWA's that are some of my favorite. If you have a video you would like me to post feel free to hit me up on the email at BNsports2010@gmail.com and I will see if i can oblige.

Cup O' Soup - Funny video clips are a click away

Thats it for this weeks Betty White Awards. Make sure you comment on Thursday for week 2 of the picking contest. Its not to late to still enter.

Happy Crappy Monday Morning

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……

Another Long weekend is in the books, and yet again it is Monday Morning. I’m loving the colder air, and the fact that the Holiday’s are around the corner. It is almost time to get out the turkey fryer, throw on a sweatshirt, and toss the football around the backyard. What a great weekend of high school football on Friday night, welcoming a new family member to the family, and listening to some good country music on Saturday night. Now that I got all the good out of the way, it is time for some bad…. It is a Crappy Monday Morning. Enjoy fellow Bro’s, and enjoy the rest of the week…..

1.       Wade Phillips Resignation…..

I think it is time for Wade to do what is best for the team, and that is resign and move on so that the Cowboys can get a head start on planning for next year. Maybe you let Jason Garrett take over for the remainder of the year, but come next season, if I’m Jerry Jones, I’m cleaning house. Top to bottom, it is time for a change. You have lost all passion from your team.  Jerry Jones needs to work out a sponsorship deal with 5 hour energy, because this whole team has the 2:30 feeling and looks Groggy the entire game. The team looks wretched, and looks like they are doing nothing more than collecting a paycheck. The only person on that team that deserves a full paycheck is Dez Bryant. No matter what the score is, even if there is no chance for a Cowgirl win, the kid is playing at full speed. It is sad that Dez Bryant’s effort is the best thing to come out of 2010 season for the Cowgirls.

2.       Great Movie…

Paranormal Activity 2, Hadn’t seen it, want to see it, enough said. Let me know if it is worth my time….

3.       Multiple Accounts of Little Man Syndrome Boiling Over….

I’m not sure what is going on with the little guys these days, but it seems they are getting a bit feisty. First, I’m watching Sportscenter Friday and see two horse racing jockeys trying to kill each other after a race. I’m not sure if this qualifies for midget wrestling, but there is just something funny about watching two guys who are 5 foot tall, weighing 110 pounds trying to fight. Honestly, how intimidating can you be at that size? During Sunday’s race in Texas, after Jeff Burton decided screw it, I’m putting Jeff Gordon in the wall, Big Dick Jeffy G decided he was going to walk up to Burton and throw a little man haymaker. He got a couple of licks in, but was quickly separated by NASCAR officials. BEWARE OF THE LITTLE MAN….that’s all I’m saying…

4.       Dallas Cowboys, Having a Crappy Season Might Have a Benefit

So the Cowboys suck worse than a $5 Tijuana Streetwalker named Rosalia, (so I’ve heard), but there might be an opportunity to look at the good that might come out of the season. If you suck during the season, you are rewarded in the off season with a high draft pick. Now I don’t think they will get the first pick, because let’s face it, the Bills are pathetic, but it is possible they may get a pick 3-6? If that is the case, they will have a couple of big options. Maybe a Da’Quan Bowers out of Clemson to help Demarcus Ware out? Actually there are a bunch of D-Line options in that range: Stephen Paea, Robert Quinn, Marcell Dareus? After watching the game tonight against Green Bay, they may want to look at a DB. Why not a Patrick Peterson, orJanoris Jenkins? At least there is an opportunity to get something out of the 2010 season Cowgirl fans…

5.       The Walking Dead

This is a new show on AMC about Zombies trying to take over the world. It is a little out there, but the best part is the show takes place in downtown Atlanta. You will see a lot familiar business and place while watching. Wasn’t too shabby.

6.       Horseracing, a Great Way to Spend a Saturday Afternoon

Some friends and I spent Saturday afternoon recovering from Friday night fun, and lounged around all day watching football and relaxing. We turned on ESPN, and noticed the Breeder’s Cup was on TV.  I’m not going to lie; it was a lot of fun. We ended up placing bets with each other for each race, and it turned out being a good time. I can def. see a way for college campuses around the country to start ordering the horse racing channel, and somehow turning it into a drinking game.

7.       Cam Newton, taking that Cheddar…..

Cam Cam Cam, $200,000 for a letter of intent? I’m not going to bore everyone with the details of the investigation, but I’ll just say this, where there is smoke, there is usually fire. Remember back when Reggie Bush claimed he was innocent and didn’t take money? Yea, turned out he was about as guilty as Kim Kardashian’s ass is Rotund.  Maurice Clarrett said he didn’t take money, until 2 weeks later he remembered that $20 K deposit he made out of nowhere. If you ask me, Cam has a little explaining to do… I’m just saying….

8.       Oregon Does Things Their Own Way, and It is Bad Ass…

So I know having the Nike founder as an alumnus makes a big difference, but Oregon is bad ass. They have 15 different football uniform combinations, and never wear the same uniform twice during a season. Some people do not like their Swagger, I’m personally a fan. Now, they are taking their Bad-Ass-Ness to the basketball court. How Sweet is their new court?

9.       Apologies to Chris Culliver…..

If you have read my articles over the last couple of weeks, you’ll notice that I give Chris Culliver some Hell. I’ve always thought he is a bit too cocky, and he plays a little soft. Well, my apologies Chris, because as bad as I accuse you of playing sometimes, you’re much better than the guys we put out on the field Saturday night. I’m not saying those guys won’t develop into great players, but they got beat Saturday like they stole something. The good news about next weekend; Florida doesn’t quite have a passing attack like Arkansas. The bad news is if we do not play better defense Saturday, the SEC East title all Carolina fans are wishing for will be referred to as it has been for the past 25 years, “Next Year is Our Year.”…..

10. The Top 10 in the Top 10

It is again time for the Top 10 in the Top 10… Last week I did my top 10 favorite Sports Movies,   and had some complaints from you guys. This week’s topic:

4.       PATRICK WILLIS (LB) 49ers – The new Age Ray Lewis

5.       DWIGHT FREENEY (DE) Colts- The guy always gets to the QB….

6.       JUSTIN TUCK (DE) Giants – Freak of an athlete

7.       JEROD MAYO (LB) Patriots- The kid already has 100 tackles this year…

8.       BRIAN CUSHING (LB) Texans- So yea he was popped for juicing, but he is a stud

9.       NNAMDI ASOMUGHA- (DB) Raiders- Teams don’t actually throw his way anymore

10.   TROY POLAMALU (FS) Steelers- Always around the ball, always rocking people.

Leave me your thoughts and comments on the facebook post…. See you all Friday morning Suckazzzzzz.

Friday Free For All Volume 3

Friday Free For All…..Volume 3.0

Ladeez, Gentlemen, Gangstas, Pimps, Mommas, Daddys, Stunnas, Shinahs…. In the words of Mannie Fresh, it is Friday morning Big Tymers. Another week has blown by, and another week we are closer to the Holiday Season. It is getting a little nippy outside, the football is getting better, and the first fire barrel is just around the corner.

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

1. Alabama vs. LSU- Saban is coming off a bye week, meaning he has had twice as much time to get ready for LSU. Les Miles is very overrated, in my opinion, and I’m looking forward to a Bama beating of the kittens…. You’re going down Les.

2. Relaxing- Maybe it is the fact that I am getting older, but I’m looking forward to just taking Saturday and relaxing on the couch, with a few cold Brew ha has, and watching college football all day. Saturday night it looks like I may still be in Atlanta, so I might ride out to Peachtree Tavern with some friends and listen to some good, quality, beer drinking country music.

3. Arkansas vs. South Carolina – Not just because I am a South Carolina Fan, but because I need to see what our nonexistent pass defense can look like. Like Midgets at Urinals, Our DB’s better be on their toes the entire game. They have been slacking of Randy Moss style all season. If they don’t come out pumped, then Mallet is going to have a field day on us, throwing for more yards on our defense then there will be vomiting sorority girls in the parking lot outside the stadium. Although this game does not mean a lot for USC, it would be a nice way to roll into the Swamp for the biggest game in South Carolina History.

Top 3 things that have pissed me off this week:

1. Brad Childress and the Minnesota Vikings- Look, if this tool shed can be a head coach in the NFL, then my dreams are still alive. The balding wonder trades a third round pick to the Patriots for Moss, and released him after 3 weeks. So his numbers weren’t great, and he talked trash about the food that was catered in for Pre-Game. Either way, you won 2 games with him on the roster, and Percy Harvin was playing his best football this season. Hey Chilly, let me give you some advice, start packing your office, because you will have a seat on the same flight as Bret Favre at the end of the season, only he will be riding in first class sipping champagne, and your sorry ass will be sitting between 2 fat guys in coach.

2. The NFL- So the NFL fined James Harrison again for a “Hard Hit” against the Saints this weekend. His fines in the past three weeks have been $100,000. Now I’m not saying that Harrison doesn’t have the money, but how are you going to tell a guy who has been playing football for 16 years to change the way he hits. Look guys in the NFL know what they are signing up for, and they know to get the big dollars, they putting their body at risk. TAKING THE BIG HITS out of the NFL is like taking NAKED CHICKS OUT OF STRIP CLUBS…. IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK.


3.Meetings after 3:00 on Friday Afternoon-  This is one topic that is pissing me off. I don’t mind working on Friday, I understand that is part of having a job. But to set a mandatory appointment on Friday afternoon, after the 3:00 hour, in downtown Atlanta, is crazy. First of all, traffic blows. Second of all, nothing productive is going to get done this time of day. Yea, I have one this afternoon, and I would rather sit through a Kansas City Royals baseball game than have to be at this meeting.

Youtube Clips of the week:

This is what happens when you break into a Water Park that is obviously closed for a reason….. dumbasses…..




Shout-Outs for the Weekend

• Mississippi St. Football Team- Tough Break for the Bulldogs football team, as they lost a key member of their team, Nick Bell, to his battle with cancer. Our hearts go out to the Bulldog Nation.
• John Wall- Anytime a guy is introduced in pre-game to the “Dougie,” and then goes out and drops 28 points, 12 assist, and 9 steals, is a baller in my book.
• Urban Meyer (yea I know)- Classy move by Meyer, awarding a game ball from the annual Georgia slaying to a key member of the Florida Media. The Florida Media member’s father had died the day before.
• Atlanta Hawks- Same team, new coaching scheme. Shocker, who would have thought the best way to utilize a young, athletic team, is to let them run and push the ball? They are 5-0.
• Jeff Fisher-At least one coach realized that although Moss may be a bit slower, and a bit of a pain in the ass, he still completely changes defenses. Although he didn’t have big numbers so far this year, just ask Wes Welker and Percy Harvin if having a receiver being double teamed helps them get open at all?
• Jodi Redd, Meghan “Minnie” Mclamb, Mellisa M. Martin, Chris Page, and Rupert Pupkin….
Thanks for showing love to the Bro Nameth Blog…you guys def. deserve a Shout-Out.

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.
