Chuck NorrisSeason’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).

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.

Why is Coach K so successful?

Coach K CourtWhile I was taking a break from reading the bible that is the menu at Cheesecake Factory, I glanced up to the TV screen to see Duke beating a small school by about 35 points.  This got me to thinking, what made Duke so consistently successful in college basketball over the past 20 years?  Duke has won at least 22 games since ’96!  Now, some bitter Tar Heel and Terp fans may say the reason for this is because of biased officials, i disagree.

A Canadian company has purchased the Silverdome for about the cost of a Condo in Queens, NY.  Maybe we can get them to buy the rest of Michigan, and take that debt off our hands…

Whelp, that infamous Tim Tebow “girlfriend” photo we have all seen, turns out Playboy has found her, and body painted her.

This is exactly why we tell our kids don’t take anything from strangers.  What idiot talks trash, then accepts a drink as a “peace offering”, oh wait a Steeler fan.

What’s better, Sideshow Bob getting owned by D-wade or Chuck in the studio advocating that Andy give D-Wade a kick “in the onions” for stepping over him like that after the dunk.

The Drubbing Ass of the Week…Bart Scott

Win or Lose, i will disrespect your team with trash talking.  Hey, at least i am a consistent.

Win or Lose, i will disrespect your team with trash talking. Hey, at least i am a consistent.

Only Bart Scott can make Joey Porter look rationale and respectful.  With Bart’s latest interview after the Jet’s 2nd loss of the year to the Dolphins he responded with this gem:

“They’re a great team. They’ll probably contend for the Super Bowl. They have a tremendous offense, great running backs, a great quarterback, a great tight end. They are stacked across the board. I’m serious. They are great.

“Like I said, they have a great team. They have a tremendous offense and they showed it today. They are Super Bowl contenders and they will probably take it all the way.”

It may feel good to talk trash and win, but make sure you take the humble pie when you lose, Bart.  Talk trash after you lose, TWICE, showing it was not a fluke and just swallow your pride and act like a grown ass man (said in my best Mark Jackson imitation).  No buddy likes a sore loser, and right now i hate to say it (OK, i love saying it) the J-E-T-S team that came out like gangbusters is starting to sound and look a lot like a whiny, disrespectful, and more and more average football team.  My favorite part of the article is Dungy’s response:

“My mother used to say, ‘When you win, say very little. When you lose, say less. Bart Scott said too much today. When a team beats you twice, give them credit and go home…And I have to disagree with Rex Ryan, they didn’t outplay Miami. Miami’s got three-return touchdowns. That’s part of the game. They’ve got more points than you do.”

Maybe before the Jets hired Rex, they should have let him read-up on the rule book saying that Offense, Defense AND Special Teams are all a part of the game.  When the playoffs start in January, someone may have to tell Ryan, Bart and the Jets that as much as they think they outplayed teams, no one wants to listen to a team that did not make the post season.

Chuck NorrisOn to the links:

Check this out Miami Herald article, the 4th bullet down.  No, you did not read that incorrectly.  Ron Seikaly is not only married to a smoking hot girl, but is also traveling around Europe as a DJ.  I wonder if him and Hasselhof will go on tour together.

Apparently my Drubbing Ass of the week has picked up some steam, because now there is an online petition to ban LJ from playing to prevent him being the club’s all time leader in rushing.  I thoroughly love the fact that the petition used the phrase “another dagger to the fans” in their statement.

Wednesday marked 100 days till Vancouver.  Really, 100 days, who knew?  Top notch advertising Canucks.

My Buddy couldn’t have put it better, “From Ted Nugent’s wood pile…John Riggins ladies and gentleman”

Andrei Kirilenko…the photo says it all.  Maybe this was his once a year allowance from his wife?

Chuck NorrisAndddd….we are back.  Last week’s poll results are in, and they are tied with Al Davis and Dan Snyder getting 40% each.  I gotta say Snyder has to be worse, only because his age will allow him to dismantle the ‘Skins for longer.  Now off to the links:

Ladies and Gentelmen, the bar has been set for “what would you do for World Series Tickets“.  I wonder if she offered the undercover a ZJ.  What’s a ZJ? if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

When i think of the 2010 NBA draft, the scene in Major League where 2 guys at the Diner in Cleveland are reading the spring training invitees comes to mind.

Speaking of the 2010 draft, maybe the Knicks were on to something when they traded away their unprotected 2010 1st rd pick years ago.  What, you don’t remember that? Well lets take a walk down memory lane:

  • In 2004 Isaiah Thomas traded Howard Eisley, Antonio McDyess, Charlie Ward, a 2004 draft pick, and a future protected draft pick to the Suns for Penny Hardaway and Stephon Marbury
  • A month later, the Jazz traded Keon Clark and Ben Handgloten to the Phoenix Suns for Tom Gugliotta and that Knicks first-round pick.
  • Here are the Protections for that pick:  Protected 2006=top 25, 2007=top 24, 2008=top 23, 2009=top 22. Unprotected in 2010.

What does that have to do with the Links of the week? well, i can’t let a Goog’s mention come up without playing a little game of Where’s Googs in this old Nike Poster.

Apparently Andre Agassi used Meth in the 90′s when he dated Brooke Shields.  What i want to know is, did he use the meth to put up with dating her, or did he use it with her.

Redskins, again making news off the field which i guess is better than drawing people’s attention to their play on the field.  Banning signs, that’s getting to be a bit much.

Larry Johnson, the Drubbing ASS of the week

, Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 3:25 PM Comments (0)

So the poor man’s Grand Mama, Larry “Penn St” Johnson is complaining about his coach….shocker.  So 2 good years of running behind a VERY good offensive line that included William Roaf, Will Shields, and Tony Gonzalez gives you the ability to trash anyone? This is hardly the career of someone who should be listened to:

Year Rushing Receiving
Att Yards Avg TDs Rec Yds Avg TD
2003 20 85 4.3 1 1 2 2.0 0
2004 120 581 4.8 9 22 278 12.6 2
2005 336 1,750 5.2 20 33 343 10.4 1
2006 416 1,789 4.3 17 41 410 10.0 2
2007 158 559 3.5 3 30 186 6.2 1
2008 193 874 4.5 5 12 74 6.2 0
Total 1243 5,638 4.5 55 139 1293 9.3 6

The only record LJ holds, is the career rushing attempts in a single season.  One would think this would be enough to shut up a player, but the TO of running backs apparently doesn’t think he gets the ball enough. He has clashed with Dick Vermeil in the past, and now Todd Haley is feeling the brunt of Larry’s rage.  There is no need to call anyone names, never mind your coach.  I mean British cigarettes are harmful and cause cancer if used for prolonged periods of times, not cool LJ, not cool.

Chuck NorrisThis week’s poll results are in, 75% of you said you would like to see a documentary on the “failed” Manning Brother.  I gotta agree with you on that one.  On to the links:

Here is a little known fact about the Yankees and Red Sox i was unaware of.  In 1925 the Yankees tried to trade the Red Sox Lou Gehrig.  Never mind the Babe Ruth trade, think of how THAT trade would have changed the landscape of baseball, history, and quite possibly my recent marriage.

So you may have heard that Thurman Thomas’ statue was stolen and found in Canada.  What you may not have known, is it may be quite possibly the ugliest thing i have ever seen.  I am serious, it looks like some kind of grade school class project gone bad.  If my 6 year old came home with that, i would throw it away and blatantly tell him he will not be pursuing a career in the arts.
