While Chuck Norris does not believe in apologies, i do.  My bad for not posting the last 2 weeks.  I was legally losing my man-card by getting married.  Anywho, check out these links, and hopefully they will make up for it:

With the Broncos and Patriots playing this week, lets take a look back at one of the most memorable plays in recent history.

One of my favorite commercials from Nike, Jason Williams & Randy Moss.

Best NFL Pre-game show?

Ryan Doyle, Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 2:35 PM Comments (4)

It’s Sunday morning, you are waking up and stumbling to the TV to sober up and watch NFL football.  You prep the snacks, check the fridge for some beverages and throw on your favorite team’s jersey.  You fire up your laptop and check all your fantasy teams.  Yup, its your favorite day of the week.  Now, you turn on the tube and make a critical decision.  Which NFL pre-game show do you watch?  Which show will entertain you for the next hour and a half with updates, insight and entertainment?  Lucky for you i have broken down the shows:

CBS – James Brown, Boomer, Dan, Shannon and Coach Cowher.  Cowher, might as well have Steely McBeam giving opinions while eating a Rothlesberger sandwich and drinking an IC beer.  Getting an unbiased answer out of Cowher with regards to Pittsburgh is like asking Fox to analyze the Democratic party without slanting the facts, don’t hold your breath.  This show is only good for comedy.  Whether its watching Boomer take shots at Dan, or listening to Shannon try and talk there is always comedy.  However, that is all you get, comedy and no insight.  The occasional Charlie Casserole report is fairly interesting.  It’s like he only comes on to TV to show the Houston fans, “See i was right about not drafting Reggie Bush”.

Weekly poll recap:

100% of you said Crabtree will never play for the 49ers.  These polls may be more telling if more people than just myself votes…

Now on to the links:

I’m speechless with this Florida Gator girl.  Just click on the link, and thank me later.

Pretty effing cool website with the history of Jordan’s Nike shoes.

Speaking of Jordan, a Utah Developmental League owner is trying to get a 1v1 game of 21, between MJ & Byron Russel.  I guarentee MJ pushes off for a jumper every time.

This, and only this, is the reason i am rooting for the Twins to tie the Tigers in the Central.  Which leads me to think, who will win? who has priority?

Rich Rodriguez, once again looks like a fool.  Seriously, the school should be the first ones setting an example, and taking action.

Russia’s richest man (read: Russian mobster IMO) is buying the Nets.  One Mobster hooking up with another one, in David Stern.  I wonder who will wack who first?

Weekly poll recap:

What conference will win the Super Bowl, this is at a heated deadlock of 50% for each.  Personally i think the AFC will win it again this year.

Now on to the links:

Add this to the many reasons why i don’t want to have a daughter.

There are a few athletes that i would never want to be stuck in a dark alley with, Ben Wallace, Ray Lewis, Ron Artest, and Serena Williams shows us why she should be added.  If i am the line judge, I’m puckered up pretty tightly during this fiasco.

Is Jorge Posada a…  I would say yes.  The last time both of these teams faced, Randy Ruiz takes one in the grill, now fast forward to this game where Aaron Hill and Edwin Encarnacion were drilled.  Jorge should be thankful the ball was thrown low, behind and didn’t hit him.  Take it like a man that this was a sign the Blue Jays did not appreciate their players being hit, end of story.  Don’t throw ‘bows.

Now, i will get some heat for mentioning Jorge and not Kevin Youkili’s charging of the mound.  Both were stupid individuals, but i will say at least Youk charged right away, instead of a sneaky cheap elbow.  The helmet toss was a nice touch, and he got flung to the bottom of the pile and worked for a good few minutes for his stupid decisions.

NY Mets fans, first the collapses, now the injuries. Someone actually took the time to put this together.

NBA lockout may be a good thing

Ryan Doyle, Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 9:26 AM Comments (1)

Rogue my ass

Sports lockouts are typically never a good thing, however in the case of the NBA, i think this may be a blessing.  Far too often, i have watched some horribly officiated games in the NBA over the past 5 years.  Add in the “rogue” official impacting games and i am ecstatic by this possible lockout with the Officials.  David Stern has far too long sided with the officials, never holding them accountable for their god awful, completely horrible calls.  We have been watching Joey Crawford and Dick Bevetta ref way past their prime (if they ever had one) and added in a female official that might as well make calls blind folded.

I want a officiating training camp, sponsored by the NBA.  I want young ref’s in their athletic prime, who can run up and down the court in a 3 person formation and be in position to make calls.  I am sick and tired of ref’s anticipating a foul or solely calling something based on the superstar that last complained.  You can’t honestly tell me Dick Bevetta can run down the court with Ty Lawson on a fast break and be in position to see the contact.  Maybe this lockout will allow a young, new breed of ref’s to get into the NBA and help make a great product and sport, even better.

The greatest basketball player of all time gets voted into the Hall of Fame today.

Weekly poll recap:

Biggest joke job in sports, 66% of you said the ’04 Yanks.  Interesting, i would have gone with C-webb personally.

Now on to the links:

I wonder if this kid will get the same 2 years that Plexiglass received? Probably not.

This looks like a sweet time, not as good as the tomato fight in Bunol, Spain, but damn close.

This is what happens when you combine someone looking for someway to make a buck with the rise of fantasy sports.

Whelp, if it looks like a duck, runs like a duck, it is probably a duck.

Chuck will be Las Vegas on Thursday, so he is posting a bit early.

Weekly poll recap:

Who would you take 1st in your fantasy football draft?

84% of you said Adrian Peterson.  I think MJD will have a better year with more chances for receiving yards and is not as injury prone as AP is, but either way your team is good.

Now on to the links:

Introducing ballers with random girls.  Just check out the link and enjoy.

Talk about timing, at least Andre can take some time to find a ‘bro that will fit him during the season.  Speaking of which, i try not to, but there is nothing else in the mornings, and i was tuned into Mike & Mike when Golic was talking about how un-athletic and fat golfers are, really….nutra-system was used for what then, you coordinated Olympian you?

Chuck Norris once ripped a man in half, just to see what he had for lunch.

2009 Fantasy Football Thoughts & Strategy

Ryan Doyle, Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 6:11 PM Comments (0)

Every year around this time, thousands of frantic football fans prepare for their NFL Fantasy Football draft.  This is where teams are made, bragging rights born, and trash talking starts.  The draft can make or break your team.  Not only do you need to come away with 3 solid players in the first three rounds, but you also need to be prepared to add depth in the later rounds so you can prepare for the unexpected.  Every fantasy football team is one Bernard Pollard hit away from scrambling for the waiver wire.

After having 2 drafts completed, and only 1 keeper team remaining, i feel that i can give away a few hints, trade secrets and general strategy.  My Vegas Cheetahs franchise is fully stacked after having smartly drafted DeAngelo Williams (3rd), Chris Johnson (4th), & Steve Slaton (10th) with some timely mid-to-late round picks last year, so i feel it’s safe for me to give some advice this year.

Is Tiger Woods juicing?

83% of you think he is not.

Now on to the links:

With the start of College Football coming up, it gives me an excuse to play these links (one, two) from Cowherd about UVA Football and their fans.

Michael Beasley…i got nothing more to say.

Denis Clemente needs his own McDonald’s commercial with Bird and Jordan.

I consider Beer Pong a sport, some may disagree.  Either way, this is a sweet book.

Weekly poll recap:

Is Albert Pujols juicing?

33% of you said no, while the rest had a variety of answers that he did.

Now on to the links:

Well, well chuckleheads.  100% of you think TO will throw his team under the bus before Favre comes out of retirement, huh? I told you that you all under estimate his annoyance.

I mentioned in last week’s links section that a cubs fan got away with dumping beer on Shane Victorino.  Well, said fan has turned himself in.

As much as we want to turn Josh Hamilton’s situation into a fairy tale ending from promise to drug abuse to a standing ovation at Yankee Stadium’s home run derby, he is still only human.  Josh lapsed and took some body shots with some co-eds in Arizona this past January.

If a college team’s achievements are stripped from them a few years later, does anyone really care?

Your Weekly Chuck Norris Fact:

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
