The Nike Pro Combat jerseys are amazing. I’m honored to have been there to get a first look at them. Here’s a look at our day viewing the new Pro Combat Jerseys in pictures.
Live from the Nike Pro Combat uniform drop. Nike just gave the media a quick look at the limited edition Huarache’s for each Pro Combat team. The Pro Combat series shoes will be available Thanksgiving Day weekend. The Larry Fitzgerald Super hero series will drop with the Green Goblin in October, Flash in November, and Superman in December. (bear with us on the iphone pics…we wanted to get this info to you all FIRST. Professional pics coming later today. Thanks!)
****we’ll be updating new pics and videos live from NYC all day long. Just got an interview with Michael Irvin. For now enjoy what we have! Thank you.
Last year, when the Nike Pro Combat website went up I went ape shit. They kept the jerseys under wrap for three weeks, revealing a little bit each week. I loved it and the jerseys were cool.
Something has to give in college football it seems every day, student athletes in major programs are committing rules violations relating to “extra benefits”. Maurkice Pouncey, former star offensive lineman at the University of Florida is under investigation this week for allegedly taking 100,000 dollars from an agent prior to the Sugar Bowl this past year. Furthermore, the Reggie Bush scandal has left USC in shambles after having to return Bush’s Heisman Trophy and losing longtime athletic director Mike Garrett. For USC, the worst of all a crippling probation levied against the school is that it will most assuredly remove the Trojans from the ranks of college football elite for some time.
Also today, it was revealed that agents may have provided transportation, lodging, food and other expenses for some of the elite players in college football for a party in South Beach Miami. North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin, South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders and Alabama defensive tackle Marcel Dareus are all reported to have attended the party. What is crazy is that Austin may have ended his career at UNC early by tweeting about the experience and basically broadcasted his wrongdoing to the world. It is rumored that UNC may be shaken to the core regarding this party as, wide receiver Greg Little, safety Deunta Williams, cornerback Kendric Burney and linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant may have attended or received extra benefits as well. It remains unclear if the other UNC players attended the party or are just under investigation or were simply being questioned regarding alleged violations regarding Austin. The National Football Post is reporting that Austin will indeed be suspended for the year.
It seems that if the NCAA continues to punish amateur athletes (see Dez Bryant) for their involvement with agents or receiving extra benefits. In my opinion, the NCAA should step up to the plate and hold agents as well as athletes responsible for their actions that not only hurt the athletes prospects for the future but directly affect not only their current team but in some cases future teams at the institution, ask USC about this. I think that if the NCAA is going to punish athletes and remove their amateur status they should cut the problem off at the neck and punish agents as well. Have you ever seen an episode of National Geographic where the Elephants are being chastised for being poached for their ivory? The answer to this question is a firm no. College athletes with bright futures in the NFL are bright targets for the sleazy underworld that sports agents inhabit. Until some responsibility is required of the agents then these types of stories are going to be a regular occurrence. I think that every student athlete involved understands what they are risking when they take these types of chances involving extra benefits. You have to maintain some type of accountability for the student athlete, but in all honesty if you have never had something and somebody ….. anybody offers you a substantial amount of money would it not be hard to take it? Several options could be set up to reduce these types of happenings in sports because it looks like a promising UNC team will now be decimated because of the decisions of a few that will affect the whole football team in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Here are some theoretical solutions to the problem, keep in mind they would all be instituted separately or possibly in conjuction with each other.
Options for Change:
1. Suspend agents caught giving money to student athletes from their profession for two years and when they return they must pay any amount given to a student athlete to a fund which helps NCAA reduce “extra benefits” problems as such.
2. NCAA sanctioned monies for prospective student athletes with NFL potential. This one is quirky but have the NCAA establish that after a players sophomore year of eligibility that a player may receive a predetermined amount of money that does not exceed 1/8 of an insurance policy totaling no more than 2 million dollars if a player has a presumed draft status of second round or higher. This one will be tough but will at least regulate this issue if players can “legally” access future earnings from the NFL without losing eligibility.
3. If a player is caught receiving monies from an agent they should have to repay the sum of these monies plus ten points to a continuing education fund at the institution for athletes to finish their degrees after their playing days are over. No eligibility will be lost but monies are due when the player reaches the NFL. If the player does not then they would owe what in essence would be “community service” educating future athletes what can happen if you interact with agents in an illegal manor.
4. Lastly, eliminate contact with Agents after the junior year of eligibility, this is only asking for problems. The NFL does not get to evaluate athletes until the combine why should agents get early access?
I hope that these young men are exonerated for the sake of their individual character, the livelihood of their prospective teams and alumni bases of the respective schools, as well as the fans that would love to see them perform this fall. I hate to see the NCAA “throw away” young men every year regarding this victimless crime. I think that agents should be persecuted at the highest levels and the reprimand of individual universities of the guilty party be minimized. For example, I really don’t think that current USC players who were in Jr. High when Reggie Bush was suiting up for the Trojans should suffer for the acts of somebody who screwed up 5 years ago. Most importantly the student athletes should take responsibility for their actions because at the moment the consequences are very steep. Just ask Tommy Heisman 05’ who is in the trash somewhere in L.A. as we speak. Lastly, it is TIME FOR THE NCAA STEP UP THE PLATE AND PROTECT THE AMETURE STATUS OF THE ATHLETES THAT PROVIDES ALL THE INCOME AND TAX BREAKS IT IS AFFORDED, its time to stop the finger pointing and take action.
Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the past week’s football
College
Fiesta! Fiesta!
I calledBoise State heartless earlier this year for not making sure Lagerrette Blount got knocked out after striking one of their teammates. They rolled through a weak WAC conference. I was certain TCU was going to give them the business, but I was wrong because Boise State came to play and TCU was the team that backed down. The surprise of the evening was Boise State’s defense, which shut the prolific TCU offense down. Sidenote, Andy Dalton, TCU QB, has no arm strength at all. Did you see the ducks he was throwing on the deep out routes? Geesh. Either way, both teams were evenly matched and Boise State just fought harder point blank. Congrats Broncos, I hope you all have accepted my apology.
Uhh…the BORE – ange Bowl
Umm…Iowa beasted Georgia Tech. The game wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Is the Big Ten back? That’s 4-3 in bowl games this year with two BCS wins.
Iowa won the game, but what is up with fake field goal call my Kirk Ferentz? Where are all these coaches getting these balls of steel from. Bill Belichick opened the flood gates for weird ass calls when he pulled that shit in Indianapolis earlier this season. Jim Zorn’s wild ass call on Monday Night Football, Jim Caldwell, and most recently Kirk Ferentz’s crazy call have been many of odd decisions by coaches this season. Pretty soon we won’t have anymore punters and kickers the way these daredevils play.
GMAC = BCS?
LOL, last week I wrote about the Central Michigan vs. Troy game last weekend. I was given the business by several CMU fans. I refuse to make the same mistake again. CMU was ranked #25 and I said they were unranked. Neither team has any control over when the bowl game is played. I still think it’s stupid to have this game this late in the bowl season. The game wasn’t a good game, it was a good half. You guys can shoot me if you want to, but from beginning to end there were better bowl games this year. This game had the best half of the bowl season hands down. Thank you for your comments last week as well, you guys really made me feel hated like Colin Cowherd, who I look up too, so I was on my high horse thanks to you guys.
National Championship Game
Well damn football gods, did you really have to take Colt McCoy out of the game five plays in? What did he do to you guys? Either way the whole entire landscape of the game changed once he went out. You can’t argue that at all. I picked Texas to win, and if he stays in I think they do, but shoulda, coulda, woulda you know. Backup Texas QB, Garrett Gilbert, played well for the most part. He was deer in headlights the first couple of series, but once he realized Jordan Shipley was on the field, it was all good. McCoy got all the love this year, but imagine if he didn’t have Shipley to throw the ball to? I think Shipley is the Longhorn MVP this year, he certainly was for this game. The key plays in the game are Malcolm Williams dropping that touchdown pass which would have made it a 17 – 13 ball game. The next key play was the shovel pass pick six. If either of those two plays are in Texas’ favor the game is 17-13 at halftime with Texas getting the ball to start the second half.
I have no clue where Bama went in the 3rd qtr. I’m still looking for them right now. I won’t mention the Bama QB’s name, because he sucks that bad. Give some love to the Bama O-line, when you throw the ball 11 times, and win a national championship game, that means your running game cannot be touched. Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson got it in! Congrats to Bama, but deep down, you can’t feel totally good about this victory, because Texas didn’t have their best player. Granted you all knocked him out of the game on a clean hit, and injuries are apart of the game. But don’t you want to beat the Texas Longhorns? And all season long everyone and their unborn babies haven’t been able mention the Texas Longhorns without saying Colt McCoy.
NFL
The wildcard weekend was the rematch weekend. Three of the four games played were rematches, which I found pretty cool. Two out of the three of the teams that won last weekend, won this weekend.
Well a Jet is faster than a Bengal
The Jets flat out kicked the Bengals’ ass. Rex Ryan’s defense was “all the way turnt up”. Darrelle Revis continued his case for defensive player of the year (even though I don’t think postseason play should count, with his recent performance it’ll be hard to keep it out of the voters’ minds.) Mark Sanchez played virtually mistake free and his running game allowed him to not be in situations where he’d have to win the entire game.
Murder in Jerry Land
Speaking of flat out ass kickings. We’ll it wasn’t an ass kicking, someone died in Dallas. Not someone, but something or somethings. The Eagles died. Yep, they were put to death in Jerry Land. Is it Jerry Land or Jerry’s World? Has there been a consensus on what we’re going to call it yet? Either way outside of a long td strike from Mike Vick, the Eagles were extinct. The Eagles’ power was their offense and Dallas’ defense shut that down with ease. Tony Romo was flawless and Miles Austin showed out as always. Things were going so well in Dallas that Roy Williams showed up to the party as well and boy did Mr. Odessa cut a rug in Jerry Land/World. The Chargers are not the hottest team in football, it is the Cowboys.
Quote the Raven, “i dislike Patriots”
Umm…I’ve said this all year when it comes to the Patriots. “You Get What You Pay For” in several key areas of their ball club, the Pats went cheap and they got cheap performance. Most specifically they went cheap on defense, but in their defense’s defense when the offense is turning the ball over in their own territory several times it’s hard to win. The Ravens defense played like they should have been playing all year long. We can shoulda woulda coulda all day long in terms of Wes Welker being able to play but he wasn’t thus the Pats were in effective all game long with the Ravens rolling coverage to Randy Moss and Ben Watson dropping passes. On the other note their dynasty is not over, please stop with the nonsense. The Steelers didn’t make the playoffs this year, are they over?
Welcome to the conversation…We’re talking about nominations for the best games in history.
I was pissed all weekend long. I just wanted to watch some good football. All three previous playoff games were blowouts. Thank you Green Bay and Arizona for making this game interesting. The highest scoring game in NFL history interesting. Don’t blame Aaron Rodgers Packers fans, he played a great game and brought the team back. It was just a fluke play to be honest.
The defense made enough stops to get the team back even as well. It’s like guarding Lebron James, he’s going to get his points. I mean once both offenses got into their grooves, the 2000 Ravens or ‘85 Bears couldn’t have stopped either team. It is odd that the game ended on a defensive play, and I know for certain Neil Rackers is the happiest person in the state of Arizona right now. Kurt Warner threw four incompletions and five touchdown passes. I just thought I’d throw that fact out there.
Random ish….
So, Tommy Tuberville is the new man at Texas Tech. You don’t say. I hope you have something to say because I don’t. It feels like they went after the biggest name they could find at the time. Mike Leach’s system is totally different from what Tuberville is going to bring in. I wouldn’t say Tuberville has to win fast, because the administration has been dying to get rid of Leach so they’ll give Tuberville his due time to get his own players in Lubbock. The fans; however, will not give Tuberville his due time because they never wanted Leach gone in the first place. We’ll see how it plays out though.
Pete Carroll! Don’t do it. Seattle is on the fast track to becoming NFL purgatory between Cleveland and Oakland(Detroit is like Hell in Pluto). Too late. I feel like they are trapping you Pete, they are setting you up for failure. Who is they? I don’t know it sounds good. Either way, the defense is wretched in Seattle. I don’t know what they have done with Matt Hasslebeck. Mike Holmgren left the team better than he found it. Jim Mora was unfairly ousted too early. I mean they are giving Pete the money to go buy his own groceries to cook the dinner, per Bill Parcells. We’ll see if he manages his money well and buys good healthy organic foods or he wastes in on junk food. We’ll also see if he knows how to cook, because too much or too little salt and various spices on meals can completely ruin them. On a positive note, the defense is good and they play in a mediocre conference. The only way to go is up, right?
The fan…Ed the Sports Fan has graced us with another great article. Read up, learn now.
As I sat there watching this monstrosity of a game last night between Texas and Alabama, and I saw what happened to Colt McCoy…all I could think of was what happened to Sam Bradford when they played Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Its a damn shame what happened to Colt, and its not fair to college football fans.
I’m not going to sit here and think that Alabama would have won or lost if Colt McCoy played in that game. Alabama threw out an extremely conservative gameplan against Texas after #12 went out the game, and Garrett Gilbert was wide-eyed and completely unprepared to face a defense in Alabama that Colt would’ve struggled with.
First off, was that the wackiest sequence of events for Alabama? Muffed kick returns, fake punt passes on 4th and 21, then a fluke hit on McCoy? I’ve never seen anything like it, but after that? Lets face it, that game was ugly and unappealing. Yes it got exciting at the end but that’s because Texas got desperate and had no choice but to put the ball up in the air. (Which maybe they should’ve done a long time ago) Alabama’s defense stopped the 4th quarter surge and secured the victory.
Would Colt have made a difference in the game? Unquestionably. Would Texas have won the game? Who knows, Alabama basically said, we’re running the ball every time and will lean on our defense to get us there. Greg McElroy threw the ball exactly 11 times and when there wasn’t a play to be made he took the sack or threw the ball away. Heisman winner Mark Ingram got his 116 yards and 2 TDs while ushering the next great Alabama back into the fold in Trent Richardson as he got 109 yards and 2 TDs.
You all watched the game, so I don’t need to re-labor the points that have already been made. My question to you all is this…do you feel cheated from this game? I do. I want a redo, a mulligan, something. I know we did back in October as Bradford laid there writhing in pain, (AGAIN) and I know Texas does for last night.
The Eyes of Bradford Will Haunt You….
Thoughts on the game last night? I feel like a just hooked up with a chick who I thought I really liked, to only wake up at 5am to see she left in the middle of the night and left a $20 on the nightstand. LOL wow, yes I did just type that. I’m just saying, where do we go from here?
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Here are my quick cuts and jukes from the holiday weekend…..
College
Yes, Colt McCoy did ball out against Texas A&M. Was that his “Heisman” game? No, it wasn’t. His tackle after his interception in the OU game was his “Heisman” moment if he wins the Heisman Trophy. I hope he doesn’t, I think Toby Gerhart or CJ Spiller is more deserving of the award.
Why can’t Texas A&M play every game like they did against Texas? It makes no sense, and don’t give me that rivalry game excuse bullshit. Rivalry games are based on pride, but isn’t every game? No excuses.
Auburn gave Bama everything they had. The better team won in the end, it also got exposed just in time for Florida to take notes going into this weekends SEC championship game. Also it helps that Florida virtually had a bye week this past weekend and Bama had to fight for their lives. Hope those bruises heal up quick for the Tide.
If Tony Pike doesn’t get hurt this season he wins the Heisman. 6TDs on Senior day. Anyone catch that one handed grab in the back of the end zone by Mardy Gilyard? Sick! On the other hand, I’ve never seen anyone fall harder than Juice Williams. What happened? No really, what happened with Juice over the past two seasons?
Nevada and Colin Kaepernick gave Boise St. all they could, but Boise St. is just the better team overall.
Backyard Brawl was a great game. Both Pitt and WVU played great, but as with all the rivalry games this weekend, the underdog prevailed. Noel Devine and Dion Lewis put on a freaking show!
Tim Tebow’s final home game. I didn’t tear up like the rest of the world, but I could feel the emotional moment. He never lost against FSU. Those new Nike Pro Combat uniforms were nice too (pics below).
I hope FSU doesn’t push out Bobby Bowden. The man has changed college football and has earned the right to leave on his own terms. Florida State! He helped make you who you are, you push him out and might very well face the curse of the Bowdeno. 62 years of losing ain’t cool.
I can’t wait to see TCU and Bama in the consolation championship game. Hope Bama learned their lesson from last year, those Mountain West conference teams come to play!
Rivalry weekend casualty #4, Georgia Bulldogs 30 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 24. I”m lost on these teams playing their hearts out for rivalry games. I mean, you should play like that every weekend!
unranked OU Sooners defeates #12 ranked OSU Cowboys. How? “rivalry weekend” (crock of shit? i wholeheartedly agree). It must also be known they shut out the Cowboys 27-0. BOOMER SOONER BABY!
Rivalry weekend was full fledged in the Carolinas. South Carolina upset Clemson and NC State upset UNC. Damn rivalry weekend. I don’t believe in it, but they make for good ass games especially during the holiday weekend.
The Holy War was just that. BYU’s, Max Hall, didn’t play a great game but when you toss the game winning touchdown in OT, nothing else really matters but the win. BYU 26 Utah 23.
The Battle for Los Angeles was normal. USC putting a beat down on UCLA. The funny and hypocritical thing was Pete Carroll calling a deep ball to Damien Williams after UCLA called a timeout when USC was trying to go into the victory formation. Pete was upset when Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh was running up the score on him, but he was doing the same thing to UCLA.
Oh Jevan Snead, Oh Jevan Snead. You made me look like an idiot. And to think I picked you for my dark horse Heisman candidate. Last year everyone wondered what would have happened if Snead stayed at Texas. Well buddy your making Mack Brown look like a genius for sticking with Colt. Ole Miss loses to Mississippi State in another rivalry game upset this weekend 41-27.
Bayou Bucket….Houston 73 to Rice’s 14 points. Ouch, Rice musta said something about somebody’s mama.
Best game of the college weekend was Notre Dame and Stanford. These two teams went back and forth. Michael Floyd who? It’s all about Golden Tate baby, that kid is a monster. Toby Gerhart needs to be in NYC for the Heisman. Oh well, at least Charlie Weis‘ last game was a thriller.
Here was the last installment of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms this weekend
Florida – “Finish the Mission”
Miami – “The U Knows”
LSU – “Cochon De Lait”
Texas – “Texas Fight/It Only Takes Eleven”
NFL
NFL Thanksgiving Day football….errr boring.
Charles Woodson, not Darren Sharper is the defensive player of the year. Hands down.
Of course the Cowboys looked good against the Raiders.
Darius Heyward-Bey caught his first touchdown pass of the year. I am not sure if we should be calling him out or calling out the Raiders quarterback play on Bey’s disappointing rookie season.
What has happened to the Giants….gahh lee.
Mattey Ice was ice cold at the end of the game yesterday to Roddy White to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Only in the NFL can a bottom cellar dweller of a team defeat a playoff team, i.e. Dolphins vs. Bills this weekend.
The Carolina Panthers want a quarterback for Christmas. Hell, I want one for them.
The Texans got on top of the Colts 17-0 yesterday. Why did the let off the gas. The started playing not to lose in the 2nd quarter, WTF! Well, you know what happens when you pussy foot with Peyton Manning, he wins, every single time leading his team to 28 unanswered points to win, 35-27. Colts are 10-0 and don’t look they are letting up anytime soon.
Brett Favre has 24 TDs and 3 Ints. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.
Colin Cowherd isn’t buying any Vince Young stock, but I am. Matter of fact, I never sold any of my original stock, but I am buying some more. I”ve bought a little more each week and after that 99 yard drive, I’m stocking up for the winter so it can keep me warm.
Not sure what Hines Ward is talking about. Sure Ben Roethlisberger practiced all week long, because his injury heals overtime not overnight. So a smart team/coach/player will prepare for the best, which is for the doctors to deem Benny Roe good enough to play before the game. The doc didn’t do that so the Steelers rolled with Dennis Dixon. Hines might be tough, but if he keeps on being tough and plays with concussions he’ll be soft like the rest of the former NFL vegetable players. Hines Ward pulled a true T.O. He needs to go to his quarterback and apologize, point blank.
Yo yo, what’s good. Ricky Writer here. These are my quick cuts and jukes over this past weekend of football.
In the newly storied rivalry that is Rutgers and USF, USF got their asses hand to em one time each quarter. You all wanted to annoint USF Frosh QB, B.J. Daniels as the next best thing, and yes, he is good, but he is still a Freshman. If Matt Barkley is struggling in So Cal you can bet Mr. Daniels is as well. The Frosh QB we should be talking about is Rutgers QB, Tom Savage. They boy has 10 tds and 2 picks on the whole year.
If you look at the score of the Cincinnati vs. West Virginia game, you’d say uh-oh Cincy is gonna go down real soon. They barely got by WVU. But it was an off game for the Bearcats who made uncharacteristic mistakes and still found a way to win. Tony Pike will lead the Bearcats the rest of the way. He stepped in and threw 4 passes to knock the rust off and tossed 2 tds. After watching this game, I think Cincy stays undefeated through the regular season.
This is where it gets painful. is it bad if the three brand name undefeated teams bore me and I’m only excited by the off-brand three undefeated teams?
Florida struggled up until the 4th quarter to be South Carolina. Yes the Gamecocks have a great defense, but these are the Florida Gators. Just signs of how much this college football season sucks, but we have to give the Gators some love, that’s 20 victories in a row. I wonder if Steve Spurrier ever regrets leaving Florida? He’d never admit it but I think he does. He could be sitting pretty like A-Rod, and setting himself up to overthrow Joe Paterno with the most victories.
It’s not what’s on the outside that counts, it’s what’s on the inside. Mississippi State wore some cool new black uniforms in hopes of defeating #2 Alabama. No bueno! 31-3 rout at home, not a good look.
Do I really have to talk about Texas drilling Baylor? I mean Robert Griffin is not playing so you know how the game was going to turn out.
Now I get excited…
The TCU vs. Utah game was supposed to be a mini-bowl game for all the MWC marbles. TCU took Utah’s marbles and cookies. LIke I’ve said before no one wants to see that TCU 4-2-5 defense or offense. TCU QB, Andy Dalton, is lighting up the scoreboard. I”ll be honest, I don’t think Cincy or Boise St. can really hang with the big boys this year, but TCU is foreal.
Yes the Idaho vs. Boise State is actually a rivalry although it hasnt been with the rise of the Broncos and fall of the Vandals. But the coming in the Vandals were 7-3 and bowl eligible. But Boise St. let them know who runs that state in a 63-25 rout to remain undefeated but still on the outside looking in as far as the BCS title game is concerned.
GA Tech puts a smile on my face. Their option attack is unparalleled and it takes me back to the old school Wishbone, Triple Option, Wing-T days when I was a young lad in the 90s. They clinched a spot in the ACC title game by defeating the newly respectable Duke Blue Devils 49-10. GA Tech will likely face Clemson. It should be a good one. Congrats Yellow Jackets.
LSU is not LSU anymore. Yes they have injuries but it’s evident they aren’t as dominant as no one has been in this weak ass college football season. They barely beat LA Tech 24-16.
USC got beat by Stanford. Am I surprised, no. I am surprised that they got drilled at home though, 55-21. Standford coach, Jim Harbaugh, is a serious ball coach, and I expect Michigan to buy out Rich Rodriguez’s contract and bring the ex-Wolverine Harbaugh back to Ann Arbor. The biggest mistake Pete Carroll made was not being able to convince Mark Sanchez to stay but replacing Steve Sarkisian with Jeremy Bates who hasn’t done much in his career other than latch onto Mike Shanahan.
Ohio State is going to the BCS after their victory over Iowa. It’s not that impressive to do anymore when you are the dominant team in the Big Ten. Let’s give them props, and my boy Terrelle Pryor is coming into his own now they they are opening up the playbook to him, as he went 14/17 against the Hawkeyes.
I’m a little confused by the rankings, which has Iowa being dropped two spots to #15 which is fine seeing as to how they lost. But Penn State, which Iowa beat on the road jumped five spots from #17 to #12 and is three spots ahead of a team they lost too?!?! Not to mention another team in which Iowa beat, the Wisconsin Badgers are #14, one slot ahead of the Hawkeyes. This is the stupidity that I find with the polls. I don’t think these writers watch to games to be honest.
Dion Lewis, Heisman? Anyone agree? He has carried the offense on his back to be honest. Notre Dame’s fall as predicted by 6Magazine’s Claude Clayborne is happening before our eyes. Michael Floyd has been back two weeks now for the Irish but I can’t tell because Golden Tate is playing like he’s the number #1 receiver.
Pardon me while I’ve just realized I haven’t been giving you quick cuts and jukes. It’s been more like methodical four and five yard gains down the field. I just passed the 50 yard line, so I’ma get my Barry Sanders on again if you don’t mind.
I don’t know why people continue to hate on Oregon’s uniforms, they are tight every week.
Miami Hurricanes met their maker, Butch Davis this past weekend.
The Houston Cougars are slowly starting to hurt my feelings.
Because of Penn St. and Wisconsin robbing Iowa of ranking spots, I will not mention or bold them in this week’s Monday Morning Cornerback.
C.J. Spiller is the nation’s most exciting and valuable player, therefore he should win the Heisman trophy.
NFL
Maybe Josh McDaniels was right about Jay Cutler…..
Matt Ryan meet the sophomore slump. She’s a cruel daughter of a bitch. Why is Carolina WR, Steve Smith, complaining about offensive involvement when he caught 4 balls for 34 yards and 2tds?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bengals, Colts, and Patriots but does anyone really want to play the Dolphins in the playoffs? Yes, they are 4-5, but they will be in the playoffs, watch!
Duh, Lions vs. Vikings you know who won, but did you see this. WTH!
Mark Sanchez meet the Rookie Ridicule. It happens, you’re gonna suck in your rookie season unless you’re Ben Roethlisberger or Dan Marino. You’ll bounce back the last half of the season we promise. The Jags are flying under the radar this year, but their defense has been amazing.
Not sure what it is, but the Bengals have the Steelers number and they better not face them in the Wildcard game if they know what is good for them.
I keep saying it. The Saints don’t have a run defense. I don’t care if people were injured or not, when those guys are healthy they still had the same problems. Look at the stats on the Carolina and St. Louis games. But 9-0 is 9-0.
T.O.’s mid-season melt down came right on cue. ESPN AFC East blogger, Tim Graham, now actually have valid reasons to provoke T.O. Chris Johnson doesn’t have much of an o-line and leads the league in rushing. So why are we giving Adrian Peterson all the MVP considerations?
The Redskins won? Ge the fuck outta here! Man…saying anything would be ruining the moment.
Do I really have to talk about Kansas City vs. Oakland?
Bad Kurt Warner stayed home and Good Kurt Warner came to play. My fantasy team thanks him.
Charles Woodson beat the Dallas Cowboys all by himself.
I think Andy Reid’s welcome in slowly fading.
When you kick Bill Belichick in the balls you normally brake your foot and have to have two or three toes amputated and he will not apologize or pay your medical bills.
My case is proven. If Miami played Virginia Tech on a dry field the Canes would only have one loss on their record this season. Did anyone see the Tar Heels defense? Why haven’t they been playing like this all year.
West Virginia is due to win one of their big games. Cincy or Pitt which one will it be?
As skeptical as I’ve been of B.J. Daniels, this Frosh is the real deal and is officially 6Magazine approved!
The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party was a great party for the 2000s. It’s was freaking party for Florida fans to watch Georgia get beat 8 times out of 10. Hopefully the 20-teens will serve better for the Dawgs.
I find it odd that OSU didn’t get any calls at home. I also feel sorry for Zac Robinson dropped balls left and right and no Dez Bryant. Texas defense is good and OSU probably wouldn’t have pulled out the victory anyway. Earl Thomas gets my vote for the Thorpe award. The kid is like Ed Reed all over again.
Indiana got jobbed. As will Iowa when the BCS results come out in a couple of weeks and they are undefeated on the outside looking in. Tell them to thank the Big Ten commissioner who voted against the playoff or plus one system.
Celebrate now Oregon. USC is in a rebuilding year. We all know that. LaMichael James or Dion Lewis, who is your favorite Frosh RB?
TCU is #6 in the country, but no one goes to their home games. Maybe if this was Maine, Vermont, Indiana, states where football is not king, but in Texas?
Boise St. is smooth sailing into a BCS game and if they keep it up a championship game next year. Preseason polls suck because they pigeon hole teams before they ever set foot on the field. If we are going to keep this stupid BCS let’s not vote on who’s the best team until week 7 and start the BCS calculations until Week 9. Capice?
Cincy. Word to the wise BearCats. (why do we call it “word to the wise” if they are so wise then why do they need our advice?) Texas will stumble this year. Learn from their mistake they committed last year.
LSU is getting by on a mediocre season and schedule. Funny how when the SEC seems to have an off year the rest of the country does as well.
Utah is one Terrance Cain interception away from being in Oregon’s shoes right now. Don’t sleep on the Utes this bowl season. Ask ‘08 Alabama.
Do I really have to talk about Ohio State beating New Mexio State 45-0?
If Houston had a lick of defense they’d be undefeated. Like it or not Case Keenum needs to be in NYC for the Heisman presentation. If Colt Brennan can go from the WAC Case can go from C-USA.
With a win over Duke and another conference loss for GA Tech, The U could be in the ACC championship game.
OU has the best cornerback tandem in the nation. Brandon Banks is the best wide receiver you’ve never heard about.
I was diggin’ the black Tennesse unis and the Georgia change up as well.
Golden Tate is making me forget about Michael Floyd.
Jevan Snead has solidified me as an idiot. (I picked him as a 1st team All-American)
When I heard UCONN lost, I felt bad for them. They’ve gone 0-2 since losing starting CB, Jasper Howard, to a stab wound two weeks ago. But when I heard the player that scored the winnig touchdown for Rutgers was Howard’s best friend, Tim Brown who also doubles as a WR for Rutgers, I didn’t feel so bad.
I don’t know what you heard, but FSU vs. NC State was the game of the week. The highlights below won’t show it, but Russell Wilson balled his ass off. Passing 20/30 for 349 yards and 5 tds. It’ll be interesting to see how the careers of Wilson, Terrelle Pryor, and Robert Griffin all turn out.
Ron Zook finally won a game. Rich Rodriguez’s Michigan Wolverines continued their losing streak. Ron Zook beat Michigan! Rich Rodriguez lost to Ron Zook and the Fighting Illini.
NFL
The Raven’s defense finally played like the Ravens defense. Kyle Orton mistook his Broncos uniform for a Bear’s uniform.
T.O., T.O., T.O., I feel for you man. I really do. Now you know how Randy Moss felt in Oakland. They say Trent Edwards is coming back.
Ted Ginn Jr. keep up the good work. Lobby to return some punts. Take more kicks back, play your role as the slot receiver, and you might work your way back into the starting lineup. You’ve been playing ball all your life, don’t make it hard than what it needs to be.
Giants? What’s going on? 40 points?
I am being completely honest. JaMarcus Russell is playing better.
Vince Young starts. Vince Young wins. I love it when people say he can’t win with his style but he won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and led his team to the playoffs and that same team bailed on him yet he continues to win when they need him.
I can’t decide who is more fickle. Kurt Warner or Brett Favre. At least Favre’s fickleness isn’t on the football field. Warner’s right arm has schizophrenia.
Last but not least. Mr. Favre. You beat Green Bay twice. I mean since you didn’t come back for revenge there’s no need to make a big hoopla about it. On the next one buddy.
