Happy Crappy Monday Morning.......Volume 12.0

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 12.0

By: J-Shannon

Happy Crappy Monday Morning! It’s good being back on the wagon after some unexpected weather delays last week. We had to cram as much football into this Happy Crappy Monday because of the fact that Football season is almost over, and to be honest, I don’t know what the hell I’m going to write about once the season ends. Lots went on this past week and weekend, including some upsets, some not so surprising finishes, and another SEC team was crowned the National Champion. So sit back and relax, and prepare for one of the best Happy Crappy Monday Mornings Ever……

1.     Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, lots in common…….

So the Falcons dominated the regular season. They finished Number 1 in their respective division, earned the Number 1 overall seed in the NFC, and even had a first Round Bye. You would think that the team would be jacked beyond measure for this past Saturday’s game…. Well the team got beat down worse than Rodney King. Sound familiar? It should, it should sound just like the Atlanta Braves. Someone needs to enlighten the sports teams of ATL, and let them know that winning the regular season means nothing. It’s the playoffs that count. The saying around Atlanta for the last few weeks has been “The Road to the Super Bowl Runs Right through Atlanta!” Well bad news Atlanta, the train came through Atlanta, didn’t stop, and is on it’s way to Chicago. The good news with the Falcon’s offense and way of football is to hold the ball, run it, and chew up clock. That works fine and dandy, until you’re down by 21.  I don’t want to take anything away from the Falcons, this team has come a hell of a long way in three years, I just think the Super Bowl predictions were a year or so too early…….

2.     Hey Big TEN, chalk another one up for the SEC

I personally love when a Big Ten fan argues with me and tells me that there is just as much competition in the SEC as there is the Big Ten. Well how is this for a stat: The Big Ten has 2 National Championships in the Past 40 years, the SEC has 10 in the past 19. Auburn wrapped up another win for the good guys this weekend, even though in my opinion it will be taken away from me in a couple of years. Nick Fairley earned what should be an extra 25 million bones in the game. With Andrew Luck making possibly the dumbest decision possible, and the way Fairley played in the National Championship, it looks like he is going to be the Number 1 overall pick. Don’t worry Big Ten, even with Fairley and Newton set to head to the NFL, there is another SEC team stacking up on Blue Chip talent, and preparing to play in the 2012 National Championship……

3.     Seahawks, Welcome Back to Earth….

This one will be about as quick as a virgin tool-bag losing his virginity on Prom night. Welcome back to earth. Yes, you beat the defending Champions, but keep in mind they had no running back. Keep in mind that even thought their record was much better than yours, they did fly all the way across the country because your division sucks ass. When Jay Cutler Puts up the points on you that he did, you know you don’t deserve to go any further than you’ve already gotten……

4.     My Apologizes Sexy Rexy….

I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong. And although in My Friday Morning Free for All, (if you missed it, you can click here) I predicted three out of the four weekend games correctly, I didn’t give Rex and the Jets enough credit. I have to admit, I love a good shit talker. And what makes a good shit talker great, is when they back up what they are talking about. The jets took it to the Patriots, and Brady and Bellicheck had no response for what has happening. Sanchez did what he had to do, which was play mistake free football, and don’t hand the game away. I would personally love to see the Jets and the Packers go at it in the Super Bowl, mainly because I’m a sucker for Defenses, and these two have two of the best in the league…..

5.     Golden Globes were Last night…..

Who gives a shit, they aren’t Oscars or anything……..

6.     2010 World Series of Beer Pong Champions

Let’s all give credit where it is due, and credit is due to the team of “Standing Ovation”, who won the 2010 world series of Beer Pong over the Holidays. The team competed against 507 teams, from 9 countries and 48 states. Grand Prize: $50,000. Yea you read that right; that is a chunk of change to do what well all love to do. I’m down for putting together a man’s trip next year, anyone else?

7.     Slide Down a Notch Peyton Manning, there is a new Number 2 in town….

well……

8.     Photo of the Week:

9.     “Deuces” of the week…….

You know how the “Deuces” works, so here they are……

·     Seattle Seahawks- Peace out, to be honest, you shouldn’t have been in the playoffs anyway….

·     Newton and Fairley- I don’t blame you, jump ship before the hammer comes down and make that cheddar in the NFL….

·     Sean McDermott- I’m not sure why or how, but you got the boot from the Eagles…. I know a hand full of teams that need to pick you up…..

·     Jose Canseco’s Brother- Ozzie, Jose’s brother, was busted for DUI this past weekend. Sucks bro…..

·     Brandi Favre- Yea, Brett’s sister was busted for having a meth lab in her house…. And you thought Brett was having problems recently…..

10.     THE TOP 10 in the TOP 10….

With the football season coming to an end, I felt  that this week’s Top 10 in the Top 10 would be a good way to put together my ultimate Defensive team. This team consist of the top 10 Defensive players in the league today, playing the positions they are best at. I know someone is going to disagree, so let me know who you would pick…..

DE- JULIUS PEPPERS- The dude is a freak of nature, and no one has a chance at stopping him. You may prevent him a time or two from getting to the QB, but in the end he is going to spank you.

DT- VINCE WILFORK- The man is a mountain, and comes to play every game. Sitting fat and pretty at 6’2’’, 325, it takes a dump truck to get his ass out of the running lane….

DE ROBERT MATHIS- He is smaller and quicker, but I think you need that opposite of Peppers. I love how quick his first step is, and love that fact that teams allow their practice squads to start off sides to simulate his speed…..

OLB- CLAY MATHEWS- When this kid hits you, your Mama feels it. He is nasty, and has that swagger everyone is a little scared of…..

ILB- PATRICK WILLIS- I think the guy has had 600 sacks in the past 3 season. It’s a shame he was taken after Jamal Anderson of the Falcons…..

ILB BRIAN URLACHER- He anchors a defense that is one of the best in the league. The guy just bleeds football…

OLB- JAMES HARRISON- Hey, anyone who has over $100,000 in fines for hitting people to hard, gets to start for my defense. I’m down with that 100%

CORNER- NNAMDI ASOMUGHA- He has been tucked away on a team that is shitty, so he doesn’t get a lot of publicity, but he is a star. Look for him next year, since he opted out of his contract and will be playing for someone else next year.

FS- ED REED- I’ll put up with the fact that he is usually hurt half of the season, because he is a ball hawk. The guy picks someone off twice a game, and always when it counts….

SS- TROY PALAMALU- He is getting a little older, but could you imagine having these two guys roaming around on the same defense together…. Good luck for that QB….

CORNER- DARRELLE REVIS- One word: SHUTDOWN. That sums it up. That’s what I got people…

Yea, I know it is 11 instead of 10, so Sue me……

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

Friday Free For All…..Volume 11.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 11.0

By: J-Shannon

After Missing out on a Happy Crappy Monday Morning article, we are back up and smoking for a jammed pack Friday Free For All! I was thinking of coming up with a long, detailed excuse about how the Dirty South Blizzard caused a power outage at the J-Shannon residence, resulting in me not being able to produce a Monday Morning article. Instead, I am going to be completely honest, because you Bro Nameth supporters do not deserve to be Bullshitted. Instead of writing an article Sunday night, I, along with a group of fellow brotivated people, decided to throw a: “It’s going to snow, so we ain’t got to show” party. This party involved an extensive amount of Brew Ha Ha’s, therefore I didn’t think I was qualified to write a solid article.

However, I have jam packed this Friday Morning article with twice as much information as usual. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride…..

----The “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Stories from this Week:

I was going to talk about a couple of different points in this section, until I came across this disturbing picture. Gucci Mane has decided to take the “Ice Cream Paint Job” to a whole new level. Just when you think Mike Tyson has the worst face tattoo of all time, Gucci comes along and takes the cake. You know, recently he was released from a mental institute, and from the looks of it, he might should have stayed there a little longer….Here is the pic….

----Things that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

1.       Hey Browns fans, stop your Bitching……

Oh to be a sports fan in Cleveland. How depressing is it honestly to be a sports fan in Cleveland? Let’s start with baseball. The movie “Major League” had a more attractive roster than the current one that is put together for the Indians. Name three relevant Cleveland Indians off the top of your head, I’ll wait. It has to hurt to think at one point, both C.C. Sabathia and Cliff Lee were both starters in the same rotation. How about the Cavaliers? Well they are still cleaning up the mess from the dump King James left on the town. Cavs fans shouldn’t be pissed that LeBron left, they should actually thank him for letting the town experience a few years of winning. Try and tell me LeBron isn’t talented, they guy gave the team 60 win seasons… this year they will be lucky to get 20. And finally, there is the Cleveland Browns. The only award that team is worthy of winning is the worst team uniforms in sports. I do have to give the Browns a little credit, their fan base continues to support a shitty team year after year. Poor Josh Cribbs, the guy is about as talented as there is in football. He is surrounded by teammates who would be practice players on most other rosters. Cleveland Sports has about as much chance of winning a Championship as a crack-head in a weightlifting competition.

But here is what pisses me off the most: Fans are already hating the hire of new Head Coach Pat Shurmur. So he isn’t a big name guy, who cares. The guy has been the OC in St. Louis, and has been putting up points consistently with arguable one player (Steven Jackson), and a rookie QB. Take note of what has happened in recent years Browns fans. ATL fans weren’t to happy with the Mike Smith hire, yea they have all shut up at this point. People were pissed the legend Bill Cowher was replaced by Mike Tomlin, a no name Coordinator. I think that hire turned out pretty well. Give the guy a chance before you bash him, it may surprise you.

2.       Antonio Cramartie, you got a big set of Balls……

You know the old saying, “You mess with the Bull, and you get the Horns?” Well Cromartie needs to learn the meaning of this quickly. For the life of me, I cannot understand why you would talk shit to Tom Brady before a playoff game? You know Tom Brady, the guy who is 14-4 in his career during playoff games. The guy who game after game makes things happen, regardless of who is his running back and receivers. A guy who will throw three touchdowns this weekend, light up Cromartie, and still make it home in time to tuck his child into bed and play hide the pickle with his smoking hot wife. Cromartie has two other problems I think he needs to focus on before talking shit to Brady.

1.       Don’t forget that “Revis Island” is on the other side of the field from where you play. This means that regardless of how good you think you are, people are going to continue to throw your way because Revis is the best.

2.       You should be focusing on the 9 kids from 8 different women you currently know about. I won’t even include the 5 other paternity test you have outstanding. What you need to be doing is taking some tips from Travis Henry. You remember him, the ex NFL running back who has 10 kids by 10 different women, who still owes $250,000 in child support each month, although he is unemployed.

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

A solid youtube clip this week. We all had dreams growing up, and some of us have reached our dreams. Some of us however, fell short. This man may need to rethink his career choice….

The second clip is more of an inspirational story. Little Elizabeth Hughes wanted to sing the national Anthem for her local AHL Hockey team. She was rocking it, and got about 75% of the way through, when her microphone went out. What happens next is pretty cool from the people of Norfolk…..This needs to be said. The lady who starts laughing as her mic cuts off is about as cool as the swine flu. Shits Weak. 

--The “LIVIN’ THE DREAM” Legend of the Week:

Last week’s legend was Jerry Jones, who we can all agree was a solid choice. Although I hate to stick with another sports team owner, this week’s legend is: Mark Cuban….

Talk about living the dream, the man is worth somewhere in the 2-3 billion dollar range. He sits court side to every game, to cheer on his team. Most of us sit at a game and cheer on our team, but it would be nice to know it is actually “YOUR TEAM.” Rumor has it he is one of the most player friendly owners in the history of sports. He is known for making his players as comfortable as possible. Cuban asked his players what would make them more comfortable in the locker room. After hearing their suggestions, he provided them with a massage recliner in front of each of their lockers, along with a 42 inch plasma in each locker.

Talk about tough life decisions, the guy is has been wrestling with the idea of whether or not he wants to put in an offer to buy the Cubs….. “Livin’ the Dream” at it’s finest…..

--Prediction for the Upcoming Week:

So I was off on a couple of predictions last week, but I hit a couple right on the head. I told you that Harbough would be the next coach at San Francisco, and he now is. I also told you that even though they were talking about new candidates, Tony Sparono wasn’t going anywhere, and he didn’t. This week’s predictions…..

Packers vs. Falcons- This one is tough, because of my personal love for the birds. But I like the packers in this match up. Aaron Rodgers is a stud, and their defense is on point. I hate to say it, but I think it comes down to a 4^th down play that the Falcons fall short on… Final: Falcons 28- Packers 31

Ravens vs. Steelers- I love both of these teams, because I love hard nosed defensive football. This one comes down to experience, and I give it to the Steelers. Final score Steelers 21- Ravens 16 Side Note: Ed Reed has a pick….

Seahawks vs. Bears- The magic is over, sorry Seahawks. Although Cutler is going to do everything possible to lose this game, the Bears D actually knows how to tackle unlike the Saints. Not a lot of offense in this one…. Seahawks 16 – Bears 24

Jets vs. Patriots-   I can’t wait to see this one personally. It has all the making for an instant classic. The cocky coach, the bad ass coach, the silent but deadly QB, the trash talking Corner, and the “Rudy” little white boy football player. I will never go against Brady, as he has a point to prove this weekend… Final Score Jets- 24 Patriots 32…

--The Ordinary Bro who deserves Recognition this Week:

This one is simple. How about a shout out to the Bro’s who despite it being snowing and icy outside, still man up and get to their respective jobs to make sure the rest of us who are snowed in are enjoying their impromptu holiday. I called the liquor store Tuesday, and they said they will def. be open normal hours, no matter what the weather is looking like, because they know that people need to drink…. I thought it was well worth being recognized.

--Shout-Outs for the Weekend:

·         Clippers- They dropped 44 on the Heat in the first Quarter this week, and pulled off a rare win against a decent opponent…..

·         Nnamdi Asomugha- Good call on having a clause in your contract to let you leave Oakland. It has to be miserable playing for a habitually horrible team.

·         Lawrence Taylor- Looks like you aren’t going to jail for the hotel room hookup with the high school chick. Hey it’s not your fault you ordered a hooker and she showed up underage.

·         Cam Newton- Shout out for winning the National Championship, and heading to the NFL. I would get out of there too before the shit hits the fan…..

·         Tony Parker- Looks like your ex teammate Brent Barry finalized his divorce with his wife this weekend, thanks to you plowing her on the side.

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.

GoodFella, Great Driver

Goodfella, Great Driver

By Uncle Clark

January 13, 2011

We’ve all seen Goodfellas.

Jimmy Johnson is the Jimmy Conway of NASCAR. If you watch what Conway gets done in the movie and what Johnson gets done on the track, it’s an easy comparison.

To play off a line from the movie: Johnson’s got Hendrick as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Hendrick. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Hendrick. Trouble with the car, the track, the pit crew - he can call Hendrick. He comes up with Hendrick’s money every week, no matter what.

The guy is as brotivated as they come. His statistics are staggering. But statistics are boring. Aside from securing five consecutive Championships here is what Johnson has done:

1. He’s made the champion of an era a complete joke. What has Jeff Gordon done since the beginning of Jimmy’s championship run? Jack. He’s opened a vineyard (see questionable photo below) and is now sponsored by the AARP.

2. He’s helped Chad Knaus forget high school. At 18, Chad spent more time shoved in a locker than Plaxico Burress’ pads. Johnson was ripping donuts in dune buggies while Chad was cleaning jock straps. But now the guy sits at the right hand of a legend, has a massive Benjamin pile and has every right to be as arrogant as he is.
3. He’s written the book on talk. If your boy Obama and Belecheck had a night together in Vegas, Johnson would be the 9-month reminder. The guy knows how to get an audience, but his talk is all about business. Every answer the guy gives is taken from a book of NASCAR Ad-Libs. Insert sponsor here. Follow it up with an adjective about Goodyear tires. Toss in an adverb emphasizing how strong the team performed. Then close with a hello to Sprint and enjoy victory lane’s pathetic hat ceremony. Heres what JJ sounds like translated into redneck:

    4.  He’s defined perfection in the post-season. Did you watch the final race at Homestead last year? It’s ok…neither did America. But me and Budweiser broke that thing down. Denny Hamlin went into Miami with a 15-point lead, decided it’d be a good time to post a pathetic poll and then proceeded to show the nation what a wreck looks like. I’ve seen more responsible racing with golf carts. Opposite spectrum: Johnson. He. Made. No. Mistakes.

     5.   Johnson has destroyed a legacy. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has lost the draft in this sport. If you want to keep with the Goodfellas analogy, Junior is the Henry Hill of NASCAR. It won’t be long and he too will be throwing back plates of egg noodles and ketchup.

Unfortunately for the 48 team, there is a problem with the Johnson/Conway comparison. These storylines are going to end. The Italian mafia has since taken a back seat to the crime families from South of the border. The 2011 Sprint Cup season could follow suit – that’s your cue, Juan Pablo Montoya.

Friday Free For All....Volume 10.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 10.0

By: J-Shannon

What is the good word all of your Bro Nameth Supporters? It is Friday, and yes, it is time for the NFL Playoffs. Who isn’t excited about the upcoming games? I know I am, but I’m even more excited that the hometown Falcons will be kicked back in Flowery Branch watching the playoffs on TV, thanks to that FIRST ROUND BYE BIATCHES! Sit back and prepare for a star studded, jam packed FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL……

----The “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Stories from this Week:

Big Congrats to Eric LeGrand….

There is some big news out of New York. If you haven’t heard the story of Eric LeGrand, he was a Defensive Tackle for Rutgers University. Eric is a 6-2 275 pound Defensive Tackled who was paralyzed from the neck down during nasty collision in a game on October 16 against Army. It turns out, LeGrand has gained some of the feeling back in his entire body, and has some movement in his shoulders. This is a great story, considering he was told he would never have feeling again.

Life Between College and the Pros- A Tim Tebow Story….

I watched this very late Thursday night, and it was phenomenal. This story gives you great insight as to all the preparation that goes into preparing for the NFL Draft. I actually found myself to like Tim Tebow a lot by the end of the show. Def. take some time to check it out, I highly recommend it.

----Things that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

Andrew Luck, Really?

Look Bro, I know you go to Stanford, and you’re probably just a tad smarter than me. But why in the hell would you not forgo the rest of your college career and head for the NFL? You are all but guaranteed to be the Number 1 Pick and the Draft. Yea, I know you would be playing for Carolina, but in the mean time you’ll have a cool $130 Million or so sitting in your account.

Second, if you haven’t been paying attention, the NFL is on the verge of a Lockout. So even if you throw 97 touchdowns and 0 picks next season, there might not even be a league for you to get drafted into for the next couple of years. I’m not saying that is going to happen, but there is always that possibility.

Lastly, I got a little phrase you might want to start thinking about: “Rookie Pay Scale.” Do you have any idea what that means? It means Rookies such as yourself that may be coming into the league won’t be getting these fat ass contracts that you don’t deserve yet. Stanford boy, do a little more thinking on this, and head for the Draft guy….

Georgia Football Coach Mark Richt….

Did anyone get a chance to catch the end of the season press conference from Tuesday? You would have thought the guy not only won the SEC East, but was preparing to play in the National Championship. Look, I’m not a Georgia fan at all, so I really don’t give a shit personally, but if I was a Georgia fan, I want my Coach to tell me the attitude, recruiting, and overall direction of the program is changing. The team struggled all season, and looked mediocre at best. I’m not bashing Georgia because I’m a Gamecock; I’m speaking the truth because I know how the Bulldog faithful are feeling. It would have been nice for Richt to come out and say yes, it was a rough season, yea, it didn’t go the way he wanted, and yea shit is going to change.

It has to be nice as a Georgia Bulldog fan to sit back and watch the Sugar Bowl Tuesday night and see a Georgia Boy dominate on the D-Line for Ohio State. Oh yea, by the way, 2 boys from Georgia decided yesterday sorry Coach Richt, they will be playing for Alabama and Auburn. I personally think he is done after this year….

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

The first Youtube Clip of the week is a shout-out to the Lonely Island Boys…. Another great song featuring them and AKON…. This well definitely be a Soundtrack for the boat this summer…..Enjoy.

The second Youtube Clip of the week is an old school shout-out to the Show Biz Pizza Band. Now you have to be a little older to be Show-Biz Pizza, but it was our version of the Chucky Cheese. Don’t ask me who has enough time on their hands for this, But check out the band making a comeback…..

--The “LIVIN’ THE DREAM” Legend of the Week:

Last week, we covered Kirk Herbstreit, and went over why he has one of the best lives in the world. This week’s “Livin’ the Dream” Legend of the week: JERRY JONES

Talk about a legend, the man owns the most popular Football Team in the land. A typical day in the life of Jerry involves going to practice, kicking back with his feet on his desk, and deciding what to buy that day. He just built the biggest and most bad ass stadiums in sports, dubbed “Jerryland.” Jerry Jones is Living the Dream…..

--Prediction for the Upcoming Week:

I got a couple of solid coaching predictions for the upcoming weeks. Mark it down; I’m a solid 75% for predictions so far in the Friday Morning Free for All. Here is how I think the Coaching Carousel will end up:

NFL-

Carolina Panthers            Perry Fewell

Cleveland Browns-          Mike Holmgren

Oakland Raiders-              Who knows with Al Davis

San Francisco 49ers-       Jim Harbough

Denver Broncos-              Mike Malarkey

Miami Dolphins-               Tony Sparano Stays

Falcon’s New OC-            Josh McDaniels

Vince Young-                     Houston Texans

 COLLEGE-

Michigan-                            Les Miles

This is just my opinion, and if you don’t like it? Oh well, Tell me who you think will end up where……

--The Ordinary Bro who deserves Recognition this Week:

Let’s give some love to a guy who definitely deserves credit, the “Guy Who Successfully Starts a Wave” guy. It takes a lot of time and patience to successfully start a good wave at a large sports event. Although there is always some tool who gives it a try, it takes a real Bro to get it started. Shout out to that guy……

--Shout-Outs for the Weekend:

·         The Golden One- You know who you are, and you know how special you are.

·        Tom Cable- Peace out home slice. Look at the bright side, I still have no idea how you became a head coach in the NFL, but you give hope to all of those other losers out there who shouldn’t be head coaches, but somehow find a way.

·         Mark Ingram- Heading to the NFL, Ingram is projected somewhere around 23, wouldn’t be a bad spot for the Texans, Jags, or Tampa.

·         Homeless Dude with Voice- Dude was homeless, now works for MSNBC and the NFL= Baller

·         Big East Basketball- Domination, that’s all I’m saying. 8 teams in the Top 25…

·         ACC Basketball- It use to be your claim to fame, but without Duke, people wouldn’t even know the ACC has basketball this season….what happened?

·         BG- I know it was rough, but hang in there kid. You’ll be ok. 

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.

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!
