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?

bill-walton-and-son-luke-waltonToday is a great day for NBA fans around the world. On a slow news day where one of the biggest developments is that Michael Redd is injured, again, there is one fantastic piece of news that has come out today. Our ears will be spared from further damage. Bill Walton will no longer be commentating on NBA broadcasts.

On behalf of NBA fans everywhere, I would like to thank Bill Walton for sparing our hearing for the foreseeable future. We wish him well on his continued recovery from the recent back problems he’s been suffering from and sincerely hope he can remain healthy enough to dedicate his time to the life of “service” he has intended to.

Thank you Bill, and best of luck to you.

Take the sticker off your hat, you look like a tool

Nate Tharp, Monday, November 2, 2009 at 12:18 PM Comments (0)

For whatever reason, kids these days have some sort of apathy when it comes to taking the stickers off of their baseball hats. I don’t know if they just want to leave the door open to potentially returning the hats, or if they think the New Era sticker designers do better work than the New Era hat designers. At any rate, Craig Robinson at Flip Flop Fly Ball has stepped up to the plate to help them out with a set of step-by-step, illustrated instructions.

Hurrah! Now your ballcap is ready to wear without advertising to everyone on the bus that you’ve got a size 7 5/8 head.

Ryan Doyle, Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 5:53 PM Comments (0)

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.

Basketball Jesus is back

Nate Tharp, Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 8:56 PM Comments (0)

Basketball JesusThe NBA season completely crept up on me. I think I was still baffled by the Red Sox quick exit from the playoffs and nervously wondering if Tom Brady would regain his Pro Bowl form. By the way, he has, even though he still can’t throw the long balls to Randy Moss, but those will come, and I digress.

So year two of the Basketball Jesus Rankings are upon us and what better way to kick off the NBA season that to get right to the pre-season rankings. But first, a little refresher. The criteria is simple, each player must do their best to impersonate the most well-rounded player in NBA history, none other than Basketball Jesus himself, The Hick from French Lick, Larry Joe Bird. To do so, the top-ranked players will be the ones that can amass the most points, rebounds and assists. Any combination will do.

The magic number is 45. Any combination of points, rebounds and assists that adds up to 45 per game lands you in an elite club. LeBron came close last season, averaging 43.3 in the 81 games that he played. He always has a chance. So here are the pre-season Basketball Jesus Rankings for the 2009-2010 season with the players totals from last year next to them.

Larry Johnson, the Drubbing ASS of the week

Ryan Doyle, 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.

What American football can learn from European football

Nate Tharp, Monday, October 12, 2009 at 4:21 PM Comments (3)

NFL logoThe NFL has some bad teams. I mean really bad. St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders and the Detroit Lions to name a few. Teams so bad even their home-town fans don’t want to watch them. Watching the Atlanta Falcons stomp the San Francisco 49ers 45-10 is fun in the first half, if your a Falcons fan. But after that it gets boring, pathetic and embarrassing to watch.

Fortunately we can look to the European football leagues for a solution. Split the league up into two divisions by level of competition. [Note: NCAA football has a similar configuration, but until they get a playoff system in their premier league, they're not worthy of being a model for anyone else.] This can easily be accomplished and here’s how we do it.

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.
