***okay, okay, its this isn’t in the words of Reggie Bush. But if 6Magazine was a PR firm, this is what we’d encourage Reggie to say to get this whole ordeal over with.
In the words of Reggie Bush
In the last year I have been vilified by the media because of my actions as a student athlete at USC. I have let down the USC, the alumni, Pete Carroll and his staff, former teammates, and current and future Trojans because of the decisions I made as a young man.
Oregon got a great win on Thursday night. It was great to see Lagarrette Blountplay well. Jeremiah Masoli has done what he has done all year long and balled out leading his team to a come from behind victory.
Come on University of Houston you’re killing me here! Signs of a young team with potential is when they lose games to lesser competition which is exactly what happened this Saturday. The Cougars were a solid win away from making the BCS. Case Keenumshot himself in the foot and out of a Heisman Trophy visit with 3 interceptions. East Carolina won the Conference USA title over the Cougars.
Clearly the best game of the weekend was Cincy vs. Pitt, I don’t care what anyone has to say about the Big 12 Championship game. I was nervous when I woke up and saw that Pitt was up 31-10. I pride myself on my prophetic picks and Pitt had me looking bad. Then the Mardy Gilyard show happened, He took a kickoff back 99 yards to the house. He racked up 7 ko returns for 256 yards, that’s disgusting people! He also grabbed 5 catches for 118 yards and 1td. Also he grabbed the crucial 2 point conversion to tie the game up. Tony Pikeis a lucky man because he played poor and was close to being pulled, but found a way to win it in the end throwing a perfect pass to Armon Binns for the game winning td. My heart goes out to Pittsburgh holder, Andrew Janocko, mishandled the extra point which eventually lead to the Cincy victory. The debate is still up for discussion but Dion Lewis vs. LaMichael James. Lewis ran the ball 47 times for 194 yards, OMG, WTF. He’s a freshman.
(this was so not a quick cut and juke. It was a burley John Riggins run, lol)
Like I said, get your licks in on USC now, because next year they’ll be back to normal. Does anyone not see why Pete Carrollwanted Mark Sanchez to come back for his senior year. Matt Barkley is good, but I’d rather have a 5th year senior QB who has been in the system (which is an NFL style system by the way) as opposed to having a freshman. Big ups to Mike Stoops and Arizona as well. He’s doing better than Bob, and I love Nick Foles hair. I find it hilarious that he was the #52 ranked QB coming out of high school in 2007 and only six of those QBs have a chance in hell of making it in the NFL. Don’t believe the hype, ever!
The ACC championship game was the runners bowl. You had GA Tech’s triple option offense and Josh Nesbitt and Jonathan Dwyer doing the damage for them vs. CJ Spiller getting it in for Clemson. Winner, GA Tech, Nesbitt and Dwyer combined for 46 carries for 213 yards and 3 tds. Spiller had 20 carries for 233 yards and 4tds(scratches head). Now that I look at it CJ won the battle but GA Tech and their rushing attack won the war.
SEC Championship, we finally sawTim Tebow cry. I really don’t care about it, most of you all do. I think he is overhyped by the media, but that’s not his fault. He’s a great player who has one game left in his college career and that game is not for the national championship. I’d probably cry too. Bottom line, Floridadoesn’t have their usual firepower and Alabama is just a better team.
My question is this, yes I know that Percy Harvin left for the NFL and Andre Debose was supposed to be his replacement but he was injured. Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps, Brandon James all three are electric fleet footed players. Brandon James covered for Percy last year in the SEC championship game, why couldn’t he have done so all season? Florida didn’t have any explosion this season and failed to replace Harvin. I’m not at practice everyday so I don’t know, but why wouldn’t you use Brandon James more?
TheBig 12 Championship or the Ndumakong Suhshow was a good one. Suh had 12 tackles, 7 for loss and 4.5 sacks….baller, point blank bottom line baby! He dominated the game and dictated what Texas could and could not do. Texas was destined for this game, from Colt McCoy’s tackle after his interception in the Red River Rivalry to his epic performance against Texas A&M. I’ll say this. Colt McCoy was PRESSURED and threw the ball out of bounds with one second left. If McCoy is pressured by guess who, Suh, he stays in the pocket and more than likely throws an incomplete pass and Texas loses the game. Has anyone else realized that?
It was great to see Michael Vick get two td’s, his first since 2006, against his former team.
Oh my goodness, did anyone see the Antonio Bryant catch.
I told you all Peyton would outlast Vince. But Vince played well. The Colts are just a better team, and Vince doesn’t need to be benched his 5 straight wins were not a fluke. I had to say that because the doubters are still lurking.
Do the Texans have any toes left? They continually shot themselves in the foot week in and week out.
The Chiefs suck and I love it. My Raiders beat the defending Super Bowl champions who do not look like themselves at all.
Speaking of not looking like themselves, the Patriots. I mean Randy is getting out jumped on jump balls and I’ve never seen that happen before. Tom is making bad decisions also. The defense, well….you get what you pay for. The Pats want to go ahead and be cheap on defense which is the main part of their problem and they are getting exactly what they are paying for. A pass rush from Richard Seymour would be really nice about now.
Remember that fate I spoke of with the Texas Longhorns? Yah, the New Orleans Saints have that same fate. Robert Meachem is from Tulsa, OK. I’m not from T-Town but I’m from Midwest City, OK, so we’ll claim em.
LaDanian Tomlinson passed the great Jim Brown for 8th place on the all-time rushing list.
It’s December and it’s the Dallas Cowboys? Why are you people surprised, gaah lee! Did anyone spot Aaron Ross of the Giants, dude looked fly with the blue spats.
The 49ers won, but I don’t understand why Alex Smith is throwing the ball 45 times and Frank Gore is running it only 9? Oh well, they won.
Brett Favre looks like he came back to Earth because he played like a 40 year old quarterback should. He also didn’t get help from his receivers who got locked up by the Cardinals secondary. My thoughts and prayers go out to E.J. Henderson.
Oh my goodness. last nights Monday night game was the ugliest thing in the world. I mean 23 penalties, oh my. The only think looking good was Tom Zbikowski’s spat job. It looked really nice and Charles Woodson’s did too.
Joe Flacco thought the his fling with the sophomore slump was just that. Naw Joe Money, she’s here for the rest of the season homie!
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.
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.
