The Drubbing

Pro Bowl linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Lamar Woodley stated earlier this week,

“Cincinnati is probably going to go into New York and lay down for the Jets and not play them hard just because they’re not going to want to see Pittsburgh in it. All of them lay down,” Woodley said “No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That’s just how it is. Everybody knows we’re a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs, no matter how we played the whole year. Once we get into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a playoff team.”

Woodley is referring to the Bengals and Patriots, being the teams “laying down” this coming weekend as they have nothing to play for if they win/lose as each team has already locked up their division and a playoff birth.  Someone should tell Lamar that Cincinnati and New England took care of their schedule, won the games they needed to win, and because they played well have the option of trying to win the game, or resting their players.  Maybe instead of worrying about how the rest of the NFL is afraid of Pittsburgh, the Steelers should have won games against such powerhouses like Kansas City, Cleveland, Oakland and Chicago (a combined 18-42).  Last year the New England Patriots, without the league’s reigning MVP for most of the season, went 11-5 and DID NOT make the playoffs.  Not once did we hear a peep from their players (sure you heard a lot from me, but i am an annoying fan).

One more thing,

“Once we get into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a playoff team.”

I am pretty sure that any team that makes the playoffs, are indeed a playoff team, but i digress.  So Lamar, for accusing teams of being “afraid” of you instead of taking care of the NFL’s bottom dwellers, you get the Drubbing Ass Of the Week plaque.  Enjoy it while you sit on your couch in January watching football.

Season’s Greetings everyone.  75% of you thought the Saints would go undefeated.  Whelp, the Colts continue to use the luck and breaks to squeak out close victory after close victory.  I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Caldwell sold his soul, at least that would explain the lack of movement, emotion, and eye blinks on the sidelines.

I thought this was a cool and interesting blog entry by The Truth, Paul Pierce.

I can’t understand a thing any of these guys are saying, but apparently some dude lost a bet and had his TV shot up after the ‘Skins beat the Saints.

With all due respect to Rajon Rondo and his huge ego, no way he can beat Chris Johnson in a race.

Injuries can derail and make us play the “what if” card.  This comparison has to do with T-mac (man was he good).

With the First Quarterback picked in this year’s 2010 NFL draft, the Hoff selects…

I’ve never thought the word “select” can hit me with such anticipation as it does when I hear it used in that sentence. I’m like a little kid waiting to get off the school bus on the last day before summer vacation. Those were the days.

…Tim Tebow, Quarterback, University of Florida.
The crowd erupts with a mixture of boos and cheers.

Week seven is complete and naturally LeBron retains his top spot and has a healthy lead over the early season surprise, Chris Bosh, in second. There weren’t any exceptionally huge games last week. Just big-time players continuing to put up big numbers. Now here’s how they stack up.

Ron Artest never ceases to amaze me.  Most people caught drinking on the job would be fired, not given millions of dollars.

And since everyone wants to know my take on Tiger Woods.  Let me say this, being rich & famous got him the golddiggers girls, being rich and famous will also get him the public scrutiny.  Fair is Fair.  N ow, on to the important stuff, a few jokes -

• I heard they are not calling Tiger Woods, “Tiger” anymore.  They are calling him “Cheetah”

• Whats the difference between a car and a golf ball?

Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 ft.
