In a "candid" interview with ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, Ray Lewis made a claim that crime will rise if there is no NFL season in 2011. He stated that, "people live through us...watch how much evil, crime will rise up if you take away our game".
Uh What? I hope I was not the only bro holding back tears of laughter after hearing this come out of Ray Ray's mouth. Yup, you're right Ray. Since there is no NFL this year I think I may go out an rob a few banks, maybe even sell a little dope. No wait that's way to miniscule, maybe I'll just be accused of murder like you, since I live through you and all! Forget school, forget work, there's no football so what better to do then become a criminal!?
Just because you're a self centered maniac does not mean the rest of us are. Yeah, we all love football Ray, but I am not about to go pull a hit an run because the NFL's in a labor dispute. Ray Lewis, if you want people to really live through you, maybe you should just keep your mouth shut. Oh, and holding back on the murder chargers couldn't hurt.
MSN — Miami — Burglars snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs, Florida sheriff's deputies said Wednesday.
The ashes were taken from a woman's home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on Dec. 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week.
"The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sheriff's report said.
Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff's spokesman Judge Cochran said.
Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed on numerous charges of burglary and other crimes.
Burglars at their best. How fucked up did these dudes get off this? Is there a difference in quality between human ashes and Great Dane ashes? Amateurs... you've gotta taste it first to make sure. Wherever these guys end up, they're in for a treat from some of the big boys. Don't drop the soap.
Honestly, I'm not much of a snorter myself. I don't get it, I can't even handle pool water going up my nose, and people are snorting human/animal remains, crushed rocks, and who knows what other shit. This is seriously what the US of fucking A has come to now?
I played a damn flag football game with a kid last year who snorted vicodin before the game because his "wrist hurt". Are you fucking kidding me Bro? It's a FLAG FOOTBALL GAME at SUNY Cortland. You really proved yourself to be a leader out on the field, leading us to a 65-0 loss. But you fought through the aching pain with the heart of a champion, the true American way, through drug abuse. It's bad enough you can't use your mouth to take a prescription drug, you have to snort it Tony Montana style like that's impressive to everyone or something. Way to go Bro, you're awesome.
I recently came across this episode of MTV's Silent Library. The object of the game is to complete insanely funny and stupid challenges without making any noise. If you do that then you win a certain amount of money.
In this episode, six members of the New York Giants played the game. Big boys Kevin Boss, Shaun O'Hara, Chris Snee, Rich Seubert, Dave Tollefson and David Diehl all participated. The first challenge was for Kevin Boss. He had to endure 30 seconds of some teethless old guy nibbling on his ear. Dave Tollefson had to drink blended fried calamari, spaghetti and sauce, tiramasu and red wine. David Diehl had to have a teammate fling a rubber wire onto his chest. These first three were unsuccessful. They would later go on to be given all the possible winnings you could earn in the show because they were playing for charity.
The funniest of all the events involved Shaun O'Hara. He had to pedal a bike and tennis balls would fall down into a pitching machine and fire at his head. I couldn't stop laughing. For thirty seconds the Giants offensive lineman is being pelted with these balls. As a fan of the Gmen, this is by far the funniest episode of this show for me.
Even though the show made me smile it still doesn't let me forget about the Giants meltdown in the last three weeks of the season. If you haven't seen this episode click the link and enjoy a funny episode of Silent Library. Let us know what you think.
Obviously I'm pretty fuckin' disgusted right now, and I'm not even a Colts fan. I'm not sure which situation is better, the Colts defeating the cocky Rex Ryan led Jets in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, or waiting until the Jets travel to New England to watch Tom Brady absolutely tear their defense apart AGAIN. The decision has been made for me by default, the Jets are headed to Foxboro to face their elimination.
As for Jim Caldwell, fire his ass. Quite simply put, he's a fucking idiot. Can anyone tell me what the logic was behind the last timeout? I'm trying to figure out what exactly it is that Caldwell brings to the table and how he compares to Tony Dungy besides the fact that they're both black Head Coaches in the NFL. The first time I've actually seen him talk was tonight when he politely asked the ref to "throw the flag."
1) The Colts defense is horrid, ugly. You can say the D played well tonight, but they really didn't, it helps when you're facing a sub-par offense. The Jets offense had two things tonight, a rushing attack and a wheel route ran by Braylon Edwards.
2) The Colts offense doesn't need but the slightest bit of coaching, Peyton Manning is the coach, and in the end, each play is determined by Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage.
3) Caldwell is clearly a poor situational coach. This counts as the second loss fot the Colts this season that comes because Jim Caldwell called a terrible timeout. The first happened versus Jacksonville in week 4 when Josh Scobee hit a field goal as time expired.
In case you didn't watch the game, here's the situation...
There is 30 seconds left in the game, Colts are winning by 1, the Jets runs the ball to drain the clock, and to attempt the 49 yard field goal. It wasn't 4th down so they most likely would run the ball at least once more probably making the kick a 45-50 yarder. Instead of letting the clock drain and allowing the shaky field goal kicker Nick Folk (who was nearly cut earlier this season) to attempt the long kick from the Indianapolis 32, the Colts called a timeout, stopped the clock and allowing the young Mark Sanchez to get guidance from his coaches on the sideline.
Now, before the next play even happens, I'm sure anyone who knows anything about football is questioning this asshole on the Colts sideline. Whats with the timeout? You could even rewind and take a look at Peyton Manning's reaction as he asks out loud, "what? why?" Under no circumstance whatsoever should that timeout have been called. You've got to ask, WWTDD? What would Tony Dungy do? Nothing, the same thing every other Head Coach would do in the same situation, besides Caldwell.
Maybe, MAYBE, Folk still makes the field goal if the timeout isn't called. But as someone that used to kick footballs, i can tell you that 15-20 more yards in the length of the kick is an enormous difference. If me just saying that doesn't convince you, numbers don't lie. This season Nick Folk was 14-16, 87.5% for field goals between 30 and 39 yards longs. He was also 3-6, 50% for field goals between 40 and 49 yards long. Folks overall kicking percentage (76.9%) ranks 27th in the league among starting kickers. Plus, if the timeout wasn't burned, he would've had the option to try to "freeze" Nick Folk. Jim Caldwell helped the Jets take this one away from the Colts.
Rex Ryan, you're still a fat, loudmouth, arrogant asshole, which is why I hate everything you represent. Go eat a goddamn snack, or maybe your wife's foot. You'll have major foot-time after your loss to Tom Brady's Patriots next week, the same legend you've been taking personal shots at all week. Someone let me know when you reach his status and win three Super Bowls, let alone one. I'm waiting...
Just a day after the Panthers claimed they would not trade the first pick, and the pick that would in all likelihood be Andrew Luck, Stanford's Quarterback decided he is heading back to school for his fourth year. Luck is turning down upwards of potentially $60 million guaranteed. Theres plenty of reasons why Luck wouldn't want to take his talents to the NFL but come on, $60 mil isn't something your everyday contract, unless you would be playing for the Carolina Panthers.
First of all, people keep forgetting that there may not be an NFL season next year. I've done two separate presentations in school based on what is happening between the NFLPA and the owners. Right now its a mess, and an agreement seems miles away. One hot topic is that the NFLPA would like the rookie salary structure drastically changed because they feel the unproven players are paid too much in comparison to proven veterans. If Luck isn't guaranteed he would be drafted, why would he leave school and take the risk? Luck has made it clear that his degree matters to he and his family.
Second, who wants to play for the Carolina Panthers? Honestly, any other team within the top 5 has a better resume for a player whether its history, fans, location, or talent. I myself can only name a few players on the Panthers team off the top of my head; DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Jon Beason, and Steve Smith. There has already been speculation that the Panthers oldest player and biggest star Steve Smith is preparing to leave Carolina. The money is the only attractive facet of going from a top 10 college football team, to an NFL bottom feeder who will require at least 3 or 4 years before they contend again. By that time, who knows if they'll even exist.
You've gotta start thinking that maybe, just maybe, Stanford's Head Coach Jim Harbaugh will turn down the coaching jobs around the NFL for another shot at winning a PAC-12 championship with Andrew Luck. The only way Harbaugh does leave, is if an NFL team (which seems to be Miami), offers him a contract so bizarre for a Head Coach, that he can't refuse it. As of now he's looking at around $8 million per year from the Miami Dolphins. Besides the Panthers, the Dolphins themselves are starting to lack talent with a backfield containing a deteriorating Ronnie Brown, a very high Ricky Williams, and no quarterback. Plus let's not forget that Miami still has a Head Coach.
The way I see it, if both Harbaugh and Luck return to Stanford, they each get a shot to stay in the area the next year if they decide to move on to the NFL. I anticipate the San Francisco 49ers have a pretty dismal year, and based on the history of returning college quarterbacks, Luck won't find himself as successful next year at Stanford. However, the NFL and money will always be there, so why not roll the dice and hopefully find yourself drafted by a more talented team next year? Andrew Luck made the right decision regardless of his performance next season, he's headed back to college, the greatest time of anyone's life. As for the Carolina Panthers, I guess you would just have to call them unLucky.
Hamburg, NY - Until early afternoon today, it was just another day that Bills fans could celebrate the false hope of what the third overall pick in 2011's NFL draft would bring them. Quarterback of the Buffalo Bills Ryan Fitzpatrick, formerly known as the "Amish Rifle", did his part to make the typical Bills fan's day just a bit more disappointing. As the season progressed, the beard was honestly one of the only things I had to look forward to seeing when I watched a Bills game, and now it's gone. "I'm fighting the tears right now," said Fitzpatrick sarcastically. Fitzpatrick was forced to keep them beard the entire season by teammates after he initially only grew it out because he was lazy. He came out nearly unrecognizable bearing a name tag saying "Hello, My Name is Ryan Fitzpatrick." Come on Bro, you're better than that. Now you just look like a 12-year-old boy.
According to Bob Glauber of Newsday, John Mara, Co-Owner of the New York Giants has spoken; "There was never any doubt." Mara was of course referring to the status of Head coach Tom Coughlin, and if he would return next season.
"I believe in stability. You can’t build anything if you’re constantly making changes and firing people", said Mara. This is one thing that many professional sports lack when they hit a rough patch, desperately looking for a way to recover and grasp onto their .
I'll use my disappointing Buffalo Bills as a prime example of this because it is so easy to. Year after year the Western New York area has been filled with false hope for the past decade. The Bills have mowed through 5 different head coaches in the past 10 years, not including this year's head coach, Chan Gailey. In these past 10 years the Bills overall record was 66-94. During none of these years were the Bills blessed with a guaranteed starting quarterback for any season. It almost felt as though every year the Bills were on the edge of something by playing hard, but would fall apart due to injuries, coaching mistakes, and simply not having enough talent. The truth is that the instability in within the desperate Bills organization has held them back.
This year the New York Giants went 10-6, and were squeezed out of the playoff picture. Tom Coughlin's overall record as Head Coach of the Giants is 65-47 which equals a .580 win percentage. The last coach of the G-Men to compile a better record in his tenure was Bill Parcells who was 77-49, which is equivalent to a .611 win percentage.
The point is that this year was not an unsuccessful year. Yes, New York's Football Giants failed to make the playoffs for the second consecutive year, the pressure will be on Tom to prevail next year. However, the majority of "experts" predicted that the Giants would finish 2nd or worse in the division, many besides ESPN's analysts thought it would be another 8-8 season. The truth is, when you have a centerpiece as important to your organization as Coughlin has been, whether its his record or the 2007 Super Bowl win, you do not simply let that stability and reliability fly out the door.
I understand that New York City is a place full of desire and emotions, but its time to look closely at your situation and be thankful for what you have in your football team. 2011 looks promising for the New York Football Giants.
RotoWorld - Despite Joe Webb's impressive game Tuesday night, interim coach Leslie Frazier is sticking with Brett Favre in the season finale if the veteran passes his concussion test. After Tuesday night's game, it's fair to question whether Favre gives the Vikes a better chance to win. It would be nice to see Webb with a chance to build on his performance, though we can understand wanting to give Favre one more chance for a memorable moment in the last game of his career.
After watching "Tuesday Night Football", the only thing I can say to this is "Are you fucking kidding me?!?" Joe Webb, some Bro drafted to be a receiver steps in and plays quarterback, defeating the potential Super Bowl bound Philadelphia Eagles in his first start.
I'm sorry, is the pussy known as Brad Childress still coaching the Vikes? Besides that, time is running out to suspend Brett for the sexting festivities that Favre partook in, otherwise Jenn Sterger plans to sue the dick sexter. I feel a lawsuit coming on. Maybe Brett is in the middle of a conspiracy, and is telling Interim Head Coach Leslie Frazier that he can play, hoping there's a chance he gets suspended so he doesn't have to take his sexting to court. But who wants to end a career like that?
I suppose you could argue that Brett wants that last memorable moment in the NFL, but he's had that moment at the end of each of the past 3 years. But what if you don't give him that moment for what he yet again hints will be his final year in the NFL? He isn't going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Viking, everyone knows that, so what would Minnesota have to gain from the move? Give the kid a chance Brett, your time is long beyond over, no one wants to see you literally die on the field. A lot of people hate you, but it's actually becoming sad that you really can't let go.
There have been a few of those near-death moments just this year alone. Brett, remember when you were sleeping like a baby in a trainer's arms when you were carted off the field? Or how about when no name fill-in Arthur Moats leveled your shit in Buffalo? Did that make you feel good? That's the legacy that you're leaving behind you. Not the gunslinger legacy that you're fighting through pain for your team to win the game, but that you're continually fighting every instinct and easily identifiable reason to stop playing football because of your mental instabilities you have associated with football, your obsession. Get a hint Brett, stick to the Wrangler commercials, and stay away from the messaging plans at Verizon Wireless.
During Tebow's time spent at University of Florida, he used to write bible verses on his eye black, under his eyes. The action was eventually deemed inappropriate by both the NCAA and the NFL. Avid God-lover Tim Tebow has found a loophole to the league's ban of religion involving flamboyancy of beliefs. Instead of writing verses under his eyes, Tebow wrote a verse thought to be 2: 10-11 on his forearm where any other rookie's playbook helper would be.
Verse 2: 10-11 reads, "But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
By the way he acts, I'm actually beginning to think that Tim Tebow is Christ reborn. I'm no religion expert by any means, it's the cause of too many disagreements, major and minor. But, the guy seems to be the perfect human being. The real question is, can he win a Super Bowl? I guess only time will tell us that. Until then, I'll enjoy watching him grow as a player, fighting passionately week in and out to win games as I have the past two weeks and during his collegiate career. At least that will tell us if God is a good Offensive Coordinator or not. As far as Timmy's religion goes, I really don't care. It's cool that he likes to show what he believes in, but at a certain point I feel like he'd realize we got the message. There are roughly 2000 players in and out of the NFL every year meaning there are a number of religions that are supported. Keep the religion off the field where it belongs.
In the meantime Bros, send some prayers to the 1st place "Church of Tebow" to defeat the 2 seed "JetsFan17" this week in the Fantasy Football Championship. Some cash and serious bragging rights are on the line this weekend. Lucked out last week, and I'm going to assume Timmy Tebow and God did that favor for me. Thanks Bros, keep up the good work.
Is Sandra Bullock living her in film life of "The Blind Side" in real life? This is her and adopted son Louis Bardot (Mini Michael Oher). Remember this though mini Mike...
"Michael Oher listen to me, all right? I want you to enjoy yourself but if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock I will crawl in the car, drive up here to Oxford and I will cut off your penis."
The Pats are finally starting to get everything together after a slow past couple of weeks. The Brady to Welker connection hasn't yet reached the level of productivity that it had the past 2 years, and it may never reach that level again without Randy Moss. But, with the long-awaited addition of a running game to the offense, the undersized white boys (Welker and Woodhead) will have no problem leading the Patriots to a victory by more than 7 points. The Patriots are better than the Lions in every overall aspect of the game.
Pick - New England Patriots -7
New Orleans Saints -4 @ +4 Dallas Cowboys
So the "Boys have been hitting hard the past few weeks, impressively winning both games under interim Head Coach Jason Garrett. In Cowboys history, only two new head coaches have ever started their journey 2-0. This will mark the end of both Garrett's and Kitna's recent luck. The reigning champs don't look anywhere near as powerful as they did last year, but the return of Reggie Bush should provide an additional spark to the Saints already loaded offense.
Pick - New Orleans Saints -4
Cincinnati Bengals +9 @ -9 New York Jets
I can't say enough about how clutch the Jets offense has been in the waning seconds of close games. All this talk between Terrell Owens and Darrelle Revis is the same thing that got Chad Ochocinco absolutely owned last year in the playoffs. The last time these teams met last year, Ochocinco claimed that if Revis shut him out from getting a touchdown, he would change his legal last name back to Johnson. That still hasn't happened and Ochocinco was held to 2 receptions for 28 yards. Notice that Ochocinco hasn't said a word this entire week, probably thrilled that he has Cromartie on him. Revis just started to look like his old self last week by containing Andre Johnson to just 4 catches for 32 yards. This week he will rise to the occasion just like he did last year in the playoffs, and this time to shut TO down. The Jets will win, but I'm not convinced that they will score enough points to win by more than 9 points. It may even come down to the final seconds of the game again for Dirty Sanchez to put the jungle cats away.
New England Patriots -7 @ +7 Detroit Lions 
New Orleans Saints -4 @ +4 Dallas Cowboys 
Cincinnati Bengals +9 @ -9 New York Jets
