Feeling Like Owen SchmittAugust 23, 2010
Writer’s block has visited me this morning. Boy, I tell you what, she’s an ugly bitch and I don’t like her one bit. I feel like Owen Schmidt right now, but not because I’m pumped for a big article. Rather I’m beating my head with a nerf football (I’m not that tough or crazy to use a helmet) in hopes of ideas falling out. So here goes the emptying of my brain of all things football and hip-hop.
Hard Knocks
It’s cool, but it isn’t as entertaining as last years with the Cincy Bengals was. #Imjustsaying. Rex Ryan is awesome though, but I don’t think the head coach should be the coolest thing about your show. Mark Sanchez looks rehearsed to me. It is interesting to see how Joe McKnight is struggling, I’m not sure why it’s not clicking for the kid, but the bottom line is that it’s not clicking. It’s not funny that Antonio Cromartie couldn’t remember all his kids names. I’m sorry, but that’s just not funny, it’s kind of sad. Cro says that the director told him to take longer pauses between the names of his kids, but he still had trouble naming them and forgot to name like two of them.
Jeff Fisher is a good dude
Remember who signed Jarrett Payton as an undrafted free agent? The Tennessee Titans. Fisher played with Walter Payton and told the kid that if he has a job he’ll make sure the younger Payton gets a chance in the league, which he did. Fast forward a few years, and look at Stafon Johnson. The USC running back nearly died this past season in a freak weight lifting incident. The key word in that last sentence is USC. Fisher’s alma mater is USC, so his affinity for Johnson’s heroic comeback isn’t surprising nor was his willingness to sign Johnson as an undrafted free agent. So when the Titans were forced to release Johnson after his broken ankle injury, Fisher comes out to the media and says Johnson will be back next year. Bottom line, if you’re a stand up guy and have any affiliation with Jeff Fisher he’s going to take care of you.
Eureka!!!
I found something to write about. I’ll start on it after I finish this.
Colts digs
Last week the Colts rocked these retro unis. I like em. They should wear these the entire season. Remember when the 1994 49er’s rocked their retro unis the entire year and won a Super Bowl. Follow suit(uniform) Colts, follow suit please.
Okay so I’ve knocked a little rust off, have a good slate of things to cover this week. So…I’ll leave you all with this commercial.
It’s almost here….it’s almost here. Regular season football that is. Preseason is nothing more than a glorified strip club. It’s time for the real thing. Now, high school football kicks off this weekend. Go check and support your local high school teams this weekend.
That’s all I got,
