Yes, if I'm lucky 2 or 3 people will read my postings, mostly to make fun of me I'm sure, but the important thing is that I continue to profess my love of the Jets, and men in general. Kidding (about the Jets part).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Regardless, the Jets are 2-2 and Brett Farve (Something About Mary and Levis commercial fame) is the new QB. This Farve person also played on a football club in Wisconsin, and from what I hear he is pretty good. (Of course, he has thrown a lot of passes to the opposing team over the years).<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254902784603580626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_HRqW-DVMW5YbVEH1ZWk4OAPAa9gdqehyphenhyphenACl8jQaFFahcj9XyBcKJO_jXuiVVPvOesmspFC_IBiAAh-Mn4zctNODtcHJ2VsjbBmbAgDoxf6FSNd6o_FinFMo9zDLUfOr1yUD1hQ/s400/farve.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>Anyway, I have a bet with one of my buddies as to who will have more victories, the Giants or the Jets. The loser has to give the winner oral. Kidding, 40 bucks is on the line, and I personally think the Jets will win 9 or 10 games this year. The problem is, the fucking Giants are probably going to win 11 or 12. Fucking Giants.</p><p>That is really it for now, because I blew my creative load on my fantasy football board post. I can never stop laughing when I write that shit. Of course, I'm probably the only one who thinks it is funny. </p><p>Go Jets!<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Brian Kenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08488453392207875624noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-40027385721662604842008-02-29T16:42:00.003-05:002008-12-11T14:27:31.483-05:00I bid thee farewell....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqBOmyyt7DrM3u_RBje52r8QVBzbFPvFsxhb3cNyKcqQ3b6CkUQNPEbKu05XwxCx4rRaaJOpmjYo7KyMbQzc33Aif9mvxrAUoWacAowW2cqAuHux8pDroVNxe8rVAu_hJFzpUJg/s1600-h/av.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172521263027238850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqBOmyyt7DrM3u_RBje52r8QVBzbFPvFsxhb3cNyKcqQ3b6CkUQNPEbKu05XwxCx4rRaaJOpmjYo7KyMbQzc33Aif9mvxrAUoWacAowW2cqAuHux8pDroVNxe8rVAu_hJFzpUJg/s400/av.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I honestly think it's a mistake and I hope they got a first rounder for you (as of press time it was "undislosed round"). <br /><br />I don't see why the Jets insist on using a defense that doesn't fucking work just because Bellicunt used it. Regardless, I honestly loved watching Vilma play, I have his jersey (as does my son) and I am going to keep rooting for the guy. He is fucking good. I think that Vilma and Harris would have fucked shit up, but we'll never know. Not to mention the fact that Vilma would call the FAN's Joe Beningo every fucking week and listen to Joe bust his balls when the Jets were playing like shit and he would still be a gent. I am sorry to see him go.<br /><br />Good Luck Mr. Vilma!<br /><br /><strong>In other news -</strong><br />Kris Jenkins? Why did we trade 2 draft picks for him? I doubt he'll be worth it but the Jets never learn when it comes to the D-Line. Dwayne didn't play that poorly last year, but now he is the odd man out. We'll see.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Brian Kenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08488453392207875624noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-44349290074136933812008-02-27T13:41:00.002-05:002008-02-27T13:43:58.810-05:00MORE MOOKS FROM THE DEAD....<strong>RANTS FROM THE EMAILING/BLOGGING ZOMBIE HIMSELF ...</strong><br /><br /><strong>I THINK HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE NFL...</strong><br /><br />I hate the NFL but I'm glad the Giants won for NY's sake. And because I hate New England. I mean there teams used to be cute. Awww, Boston is so cool. Not anymore...they shall receive no quarter from me from this point forward.<br /><br />But I digress...<br /><br />It's just gotten ridiculous. Football teams can have like seven guys (starters mind you...not borderline bench players) fail drug tests on the same team and yet the media only wants to talk about Clemens' wife's breast augmentation & baseball's supposed "black eye". God forbid they say anything about the holier than tho' NFL. Who, mind you, is officially the most greedy sport in America. Oh, how's that you say?<br /><br />Well, for instance, their NFL network is just a blatant money grab. They're trying to make the cable companies look bad for not picking up the package and putting their costs on the rest of us who couldn't care less about replaying the Arizona Cardinals vs the Detroit Lions from the week before last. Now the satelite companies have announced that they are cutting the regions that receive the NFL network in half. This all means that out of the 300 million homes in America that have televisions only 3 million of them feel the need to pay for the NFL network. But the cable companies are a bunch of meanies for not wanting to put that cost on their customers. That's a crock of shit in my opinion...<br /><br />The NFL already swindles their players (past and present) but altogether with their tax exceptions from the government, their insane antics from players and coaches, and all the ridiculous self promotion it has become completely unwatchable to me. Look at the NBA...I see a league at a crossroads and they aren't exactly that far off from deserving a similar type of derision, a similar type of attendance, and a similar type of unwatchability.<br /><br />Baseball has it's problems, I know. But at least I can see them and they've stopped trying to sell me on how I'm lucky to be a part of it like the NFL. Or do you guys like watching doogans prancing like peacocks? I know all about Jose Reyes last year. It killed me but it also killed him. People were willing to give him away after his antics last season. He admitted an error. When was the last time you saw an NFL player act like an idiot without getting rewarded for it? Or apologize for bad sportsmanship? You can almost predict the penalties but the guys still do it. Fines? Who cares...I'm going to pull out my cell phone after a TD, call my ho and still get a deal pitching NIKE. Yuck, I just can't stand the NFL.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant...but...<br />I just watched a great Seton Hall road win last night. With Coach Gonzalez, the Pirates are a step away from becoming the premier basketball program to go and watch in the New York area (they have the #6 best player in the nation locked up for next year, the reigning Big East rookie of the year in Eugene Harvey, a first team All Big East player in Brian Laing, the next big scorer in the league in Jeremy Hazzell, etc., etc.). And yet I turn on the FAN for my morning commute and I have to listen to idiots talk about what they think of the Jets releasing Justin McCaraeins. It really just stuck all up in my craw. And if I called Fatso & the Angry Puppy and told them how I was excited about the program and the growth SHU has shown you know what they would say? It's not relevant because they aren't as good as Louisville or Georgetown, how UConn is better, blah, blah, blah.<br /><br />It's really sad. In my opinion, It's the NFL and it's glossy magazine cover self image that has distorted people's perspective on what is rational and reasonable dialogue and what should be news. People want fries with that shake. They're sad and shallow. I'm not saying that SHU should be the lead story in the sports section today. Or that it should be headline news that we have two of the three best high school basketball teams in the nation playing in our backyard (St.Benedict's and of course St.Anthony's). Maybe that is what I'm saying. And as always, that's why I will take baseball or hoops over the NFL. I'd rather read a good novel than a glossy magazine.<br /><br />PSS - I think this means that I won't be blogging about football too much in the coming months.<br /><br />PSSS - If I shat a turd that looked like LaDamian Tomlinson, do you think Roger Goodell would try to sell it to you guys? Do you think you'd have enough to buy it? If you did, do you think he'd still keep a share of the aforementioned crap because it was part of his league? Yeah, that's right...I called you guys a bunch of dorks for still supporting the NFL. I still love you though...<br /><br />LETS GO METS!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Brian Kenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08488453392207875624noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-46064326493978003972008-02-27T13:05:00.003-05:002008-12-11T14:27:31.921-05:00Remember Barry Sanders?Look at this fucking photo from his college days below.

He is going to have to do some lights-out coaching and preparation.<br />The AFC East is already humming with activity. The Patriots are just picking their heads up from their shocking defeat in the Super Bowl. Bill Parcells cut 9 guys yesterday including veteran QB Trent Green and will probably pull off another unbelievable draft this year. I think the only guys on the Miami roster over 31 will be Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor. And you know something about Buffalo? They have a damn good core and a suddenly deep and respectable roster. The Jets?<br /><br />Well, when is the last time anyone even heard from them? I hope Mangini is locked away somewhere drawing up some grand designs because the challenge will never be greater for Gang Green next year.<br /><br />The draft will be very important, your cross-town and stadium-sharing brethren managed to win the Super Bowl with major contributions from 10 rookies. I am advocating for Offensive and Defensive line help. I suppose some good news is that Vilma doesn't appear to be going anywhere, so if the Jets pick up a quality DT, that frees up Vilma to play like Ray F'ing Lewis. However, the Jets running game was sorry this last year and that has to be a huge concern. The ability to run the ball takes the pressure and the coverage off of new QB Clemens (who I think is a gamer). RB's Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are a more than adequate 1-2 punch, they just need the hogs up front. So where do they go with their pick? Right Guard (not the deodorant)? Left Guard and potentially put together one of the best left sides in football, with Mangold, draft pick and D'Brick? Ball control solves a lot of problems with your defense, they won't be on the field as much. Ball control also helps out the QB immeasurably: Managing the game with throws under 20 yards instead of being forced into trying to make big plays.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrcGAxwgTVV6lRTMDfLDky7e9HOQCL-OacZLGYKM3YCl4nIal1XQhNddZ9rfqFnZzryVara0bs8_wm1P9moF-l9zG9yxIvM2L8XX3TSAFvjUehYw78t9h4-zCMy33_0y1HV_B/s1600-h/jets+qb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrcGAxwgTVV6lRTMDfLDky7e9HOQCL-OacZLGYKM3YCl4nIal1XQhNddZ9rfqFnZzryVara0bs8_wm1P9moF-l9zG9yxIvM2L8XX3TSAFvjUehYw78t9h4-zCMy33_0y1HV_B/s400/jets+qb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166140705163853378" border="0" /></a><br />Ball control is the way to beat the Patriots, even with that prolific spread attack that Brady orchestrates so well. Parcells COVETS ball control and the power running game and he tries to assemble behemoths up front, e.g. the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. The Buffalo Bills have a good one-two combo with RB's Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas and very unheralded O and D lines.<br /><br />I'll tell you what free agents could help the Defense out: Jared Allen, Terrell Suggs, Assante Samuel, Albert Haynesworth.<br /><br />I'll tell you what free agents could help out the O: Rueben Brown, Ryan Lilja (guard from Colts), Alan Faneca, Max Starks, Flozell Adams. It is an EXTREMELY rich year for Offensive linemen in free agency this year.

We are out there, but there are very few of us Big Blue Rootin' Crew that actually thought that the Giants could do it.<br /><br />I pulled out all the stops, doing everything I could think of that might help the team. I wore Giants clothing to work all week, sported at t-shirt/Eli jersey/Giants sweatshirt combo at church Sunday morning (which was spent in intense meditation and visualization and pleading to God to allow the Giants to beat the unbelievably dangerous Patriots), and other rituals not fit to mention on this family blog. It all paid off, especially the church.<br /><br />The game that unfurled was BETTER than when the Giants upset the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV 17 years ago. The Patriots were UNDEFEATED. But the Giants could call their playoff run 'The Revenge Tour'.<br /><br />The Dallas Cowboys had beaten the Giants twice this year, surely the #1 seed would handle these Blue Upstarts one more time.<br /><br /><br />OK, they managed to squeeze out the win against Dallas. Lucky. But now the Giants would have to go up to frozen Lambeau Field in Wisconsin, in which the legend of Brett Favre only got better as the temperature went down. Game time conditions were at -20 below zero, there would be no way the young, inconsistent Giants QB would fare better than Favre in those conditions. Tack on the spirit of the Packers playing to get Brett Favre to the Super Bowl and there was no way the Giants could win this game. The Packers also had beaten the New York in Giants Stadium Week 2.<br /><br />Oh my God, the Giants are going to the Super Bowl. To face the never-before-done 18-0 new England patriots, who had set NFL offensive records all season long on their determined march to their place as the best team in NFL history.<br /><br />It would take a Herculean effort for the Giants to pull off, what I consider a bigger upset than Broadway Joe Namath and the NY Jets beating the formidable Baltimore Colts in 1968. The Colts that year were not an undefeated team in a very competitive and complex era of salary caps and free agency. The Patriots were.<br /><br />The Defense would have to play lights out and get to Tom Brady the way no other team had all season long.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CW2YeYq1QsN2bbBho5swLgJf-qBzSoEqsrBmd5VsUFCSWRzpw2tFFVLkOnOmOfziFGzcGLhqKyjM26qhCo3Nfr7yGt5kRE_GsxvguT8hXahFW3z7D3kMoEQ5I-u-a5ouIyr1/s1600-h/stray+sacking+brady.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CW2YeYq1QsN2bbBho5swLgJf-qBzSoEqsrBmd5VsUFCSWRzpw2tFFVLkOnOmOfziFGzcGLhqKyjM26qhCo3Nfr7yGt5kRE_GsxvguT8hXahFW3z7D3kMoEQ5I-u-a5ouIyr1/s400/stray+sacking+brady.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163535295679663026" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjQSZm2L9SH6otTUhiAW6Zlon72TWDDHbujiVh8mhCMcVrCDhpY50l43_oKHHXJH_ol7VuLbK1V7eErjP7OZmzCG4ubkgyTQE2Gwozm82ylh5ustQ92whRlr2DIY3L2Jumvtgu/s1600-h/osi+and+stray+celebrate.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjQSZm2L9SH6otTUhiAW6Zlon72TWDDHbujiVh8mhCMcVrCDhpY50l43_oKHHXJH_ol7VuLbK1V7eErjP7OZmzCG4ubkgyTQE2Gwozm82ylh5ustQ92whRlr2DIY3L2Jumvtgu/s400/osi+and+stray+celebrate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163538095998340050" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHQ6CM4zoTuDSuyqiJozQZ3f5GjwsM6sZFkhElNhTD1u-IdOTxn3LqVHSIRSCvphC4ny8picd0gZriyvfoyE7pBJpLMt5DO1AkMAShK-YoT1PV14GaY6UCrVjoHZUC7FJCDfT/s1600-h/tuck+and+osi+Loose+Ball.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHQ6CM4zoTuDSuyqiJozQZ3f5GjwsM6sZFkhElNhTD1u-IdOTxn3LqVHSIRSCvphC4ny8picd0gZriyvfoyE7pBJpLMt5DO1AkMAShK-YoT1PV14GaY6UCrVjoHZUC7FJCDfT/s400/tuck+and+osi+Loose+Ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163538276386966498" border="0" /></a>How long, Jet fans, have you waited for images like these this season? August? September?<br /><br />How about Jerry Reese, GM of the Giants? Not only did his last four drafts pay off in spades with all the contributions from young players this year, but he signed versatile D-lineman Justin Tuck to a 30 million dollar contract before the Super Bowl. All of it was worth it on this image alone:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8HRyoNJTgAanLCCGWfHZpX0uCjbpTkB2HCvU-SexO0AV_vDdTdNjxY1qmRIn5Vf8BG6FCC1c81nc5o03SyaWuFv9VdOEKnbvMDGITsmvXvREGXLsX_2LTFUeYnnk3hLcQbQZ/s1600-h/tuck+getting+brady.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8HRyoNJTgAanLCCGWfHZpX0uCjbpTkB2HCvU-SexO0AV_vDdTdNjxY1qmRIn5Vf8BG6FCC1c81nc5o03SyaWuFv9VdOEKnbvMDGITsmvXvREGXLsX_2LTFUeYnnk3hLcQbQZ/s400/tuck+getting+brady.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163539122495523826" border="0" /></a>Tom Brady got NAILED all game long. 5 sacks, a fumble, and 18 other knockdowns. When Brady tried to throw deep he got creamed on the step into his throw. He didn't complete a pass longer than 20 yards, so the big play was taken away from the best offense of all-time. Wes Welker did some damage with 10 or 11 catches but he kept out the end zone. The Giants defense did a great job with the Patriots screen game, and Lawrence Maroney had a grand total of 39 yards rushing.<br /><br />The game was extremely close. That Patriots had a capable defense full of smart veterans. One play could break and the Patriots would run away with it. The game was 7-3 Patriots heading into the 4th quarter. And in the 4th quarter, a player known only in Giants circles as a stout Special Teamer, QB Eli Manning had to check down to his 2nd, 3rd and 4th options on most pass plays. The 4th option is a guy named David Tyree, who caught a TD in that critical 4th quarter to put the Giants up 10-7. However, Tom Brady is on the other sideline and there were 4+ minutes left in the game. Sure enough, Brady to Moss with 2:40 or so to go.<br /><br />This is the stage that a QB dreams about. And Eli Manning, so often crticized for not being his brother, not being fiery enough, lived it. Manning to Tyree could go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history: 3rd and 5 at the Giants 40-yard line, the pocket collapses on manning, he is jostled around by various Patriot defenders as the pull at his jersey, SOMEHOW Eli gets out and scrambles to his right and heaves a desperate 32-yard pass upfield to Tyree who SOMEHOW trapped the ball to the top of his helmet while up in the air and hanging on despite a scratching and clawing Rodney Harrison :<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi288lk-6YBYo3bAaPODr1BrwMYC2axmBKEg2pNLW9KHjCpTCGSOGwPJti0jJaKhEaMgXMFoeuFdVHmBtWLKrBnAmrmHk7EXTZYUacVsqcQB0qTdK-O5MEoBMgPU4CEqDOGr_Fw/s1600-h/The+Catch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi288lk-6YBYo3bAaPODr1BrwMYC2axmBKEg2pNLW9KHjCpTCGSOGwPJti0jJaKhEaMgXMFoeuFdVHmBtWLKrBnAmrmHk7EXTZYUacVsqcQB0qTdK-O5MEoBMgPU4CEqDOGr_Fw/s400/The+Catch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163545637960911874" border="0" /></a>And, is this an emotional enough QB for all the critics?

And now to have them as the Super Bowl 42 Champions with none other than QB Eli Manning as the MVP (sorry Defense) I think all those years on my heels are over. It's in the books, the Pats were the best team of all-time and Eli pulled off the biggest 4th-quarter comeback of all-time.<br /><br />Thanks all you jet fans for giving me this tribute on the blog the last couple of weeks.

If they do, they somehow have to WIN the turnover battle vs. the Patriots. I don't like those odds, so not turning the ball over - period - is the best recipe for success.<br /><br />Secondly, the Giants MUST get pressure from UP THE MIDDLE on Tom Brady. Brady is a killer when he steps up in the pocket. Brady's completion percentage drops significantly when he rolls out. And if he rolls out versus the Giants?<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfkWYl8Nhi6Iw06BUMGM-qIOiF7T1S68-lOPCDlyU1crVrZ2KB-K_0iA6A-i7ZCbf_EPkkRwXwyG7PXgOaNTXQ28md_jEFmEIyGShyphenhyphenDsbJ2Akalo_hjfBU2NB07RFOB_J9FFK/s1600-h/stray.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161688047425522594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfkWYl8Nhi6Iw06BUMGM-qIOiF7T1S68-lOPCDlyU1crVrZ2KB-K_0iA6A-i7ZCbf_EPkkRwXwyG7PXgOaNTXQ28md_jEFmEIyGShyphenhyphenDsbJ2Akalo_hjfBU2NB07RFOB_J9FFK/s400/stray.jpg" border="0" /></a> You get to run into Mike Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, and it's damn hard to keep your eyes downfield when those two guys are within arm's reach. That said, Brady gets rid of the ball in less than one second after the snap. Even unblocked, it is impossible to get to him that way. I say, delay the edge rush by ONE STEP and push up the middle, then when Brady had to take off to the his left or right - here comes the Strahan/Umenyiora surge. That might make it difficult to get the ball off to:<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJucbOmKHFmjex2sjVfEV-tCAczFJNgqA2DeFc0HcmZeD2fVgzOGjnT4Z0QvawLuBTZxxOs24uLG4feiNhCxSEYN0RGLledW5FeWmRftP86gz-lz9uPPhtFe_oYiWFbJWQrXt/s1600-h/welker.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161687961526176658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJucbOmKHFmjex2sjVfEV-tCAczFJNgqA2DeFc0HcmZeD2fVgzOGjnT4Z0QvawLuBTZxxOs24uLG4feiNhCxSEYN0RGLledW5FeWmRftP86gz-lz9uPPhtFe_oYiWFbJWQrXt/s400/welker.jpg" border="0" /></a> Wes Welker, the assassin of the short-passing game. Welker and Moss MUST GET HIT and get hit a lot. Even if they catch it. The Giants defense is going to be playing like Team Rabies. There is no tomorrow, there isn't another meaningful football game until next September, so I expect bloodthirsty madness for 60 minutes. I think the Giants are very hungry, if they can make no mistakes on offense, special teams and defense, they will win.</div><div></div><div>The Giants running game doesn't need to dominate, but that would help. I think the wild card this time is rookie running sensation Ahmad Bradshaw, whom the Patriots DID NOT play against in the last game of the regular season at Giants Stadium. Bradshaw is a GAME BREAKER. The new England defense is very good, but they are not that fast. If Bradshaw sees some green, he is gone. Jacobs brings in a tremendous dimension. The big fella can really wear a defense down. In the 2nd half, look for a lot of Bradshaw as the Pats D gets tired. </div><div></div><div>So, if all of the above manages to happen, there are still 3 other playmakers who can change the game:<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4k9ku8xrEs-gKBPqt37o1G8naPlvqC_Q0cmwLgNg16ayibSNDISFRx4uS0i3V2G-xVaWgUrtgitQb4XG_-2XdUFzEwHaP_0zQQ7uMWlfNow7BAPB46yrStck7cyRZJ0iUNNDa/s1600-h/who+we+must+stop.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161687849857026946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4k9ku8xrEs-gKBPqt37o1G8naPlvqC_Q0cmwLgNg16ayibSNDISFRx4uS0i3V2G-xVaWgUrtgitQb4XG_-2XdUFzEwHaP_0zQQ7uMWlfNow7BAPB46yrStck7cyRZJ0iUNNDa/s400/who+we+must+stop.jpg" border="0" /></a> The patriots will run, but only reluctantly or to wind the clock down. Brady would prefer to throw for a three-yard gain than for Maroney to grind it out. If the Giants D Line and Linebackers can shut maroney and the short-passing game down, the Super Bowl will still come down to a crazy play or two from Belichick.</div><div></div><div>You absolutely cannot let up against the Patriots. No lead is ever big enough. Only till when that clock reads 0:00 can you count on winning. I think the Giants realize that and you will see a team play with reckless abandon. I think this is going to be one of the best Super Bowls ever. It will either crown the best team ever or (hopefully) will be the greatest upset ever. </div><div></div><div>I know it will hurt, but Jet fans, you need to pull for the Giants. You hate the Patriots and at least you will get the regional pride. Good luck, Blue.<br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsDGQdEoT-gLwxUKOFbMnbBL8yo8DADamTUgA902CJv9kGev-RktpFu3CCILf3cJhnWAvpt94Z-IMU_tfE8DDf2y7sLgKBGkkwynZx4dyiOZHxX1fLXh4eitKZOI-7HvYYb7lt/s1600-h/eli+and+ware.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161687742482844530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsDGQdEoT-gLwxUKOFbMnbBL8yo8DADamTUgA902CJv9kGev-RktpFu3CCILf3cJhnWAvpt94Z-IMU_tfE8DDf2y7sLgKBGkkwynZx4dyiOZHxX1fLXh4eitKZOI-7HvYYb7lt/s400/eli+and+ware.jpg" border="0" /></a> And finally, regardless of the outcome of the Super Bowl, it is real nice to see Eli finally getting some respect around the League. Also, an interesting note, Jeremey Shockey isn't even with the team at the Super Bowl, opting instead to stay in Florida.</div><div> </div><div>What the f? This is a very bad sign. Some guys on ESPN were saying stuff about Shockey just having surgery and not suppossed to be flying and whatnot. That is a bunch of crap. I think he's sulking in FLA and his ego is sore because the Giants have played their best football without him. And Eli's passer rating has shot way up, no interceptions. makes you wonder how many of those picks are Shockey's fault for shitty route running. By my count this season, at least 5.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Figgythemickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08585739638985933401noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-3864075417342879292008-01-28T15:49:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:37.499-05:00Tom Brady Owes Mo a Ring!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9h6Q4v4XkubVaOF-0Nna0zadGZbTlVrtyPM30vKlavGPNCtmb-4E86ren1S159gm5t5A3mR44UZCFsO2QP_fSWxZz3N7oiWbzeK5NbXbuBWpB60ge33mGf0SXIzCvtEzD6o9Y/s1600-h/mo1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634451549832818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9h6Q4v4XkubVaOF-0Nna0zadGZbTlVrtyPM30vKlavGPNCtmb-4E86ren1S159gm5t5A3mR44UZCFsO2QP_fSWxZz3N7oiWbzeK5NbXbuBWpB60ge33mGf0SXIzCvtEzD6o9Y/s400/mo1.jpg" border="0" /></a>I am calling out Tom Brady right now to give a little credit where credit is due. Back in 2001, our own Mo Lewis laid a hit on Drew Bledsoe so hard, that the Patriots were forced to put their unknown, second year quarterback in to fill his shoes. The moment Mo laid made that hit in Foxboro, a dark cloud immediately covered the stadium. As they wheeled Bledsoe off the field on a stretcher, every Pats fan and their brother thought the next 10 years were going to be filled with futility.<br /><br />On the contrary, the next 7 would bring 3 Superbowl Rings (soon to be 4). And the most dominant quaterback in NFL history.<br /><br />When Mo made that hit, he was not trying to kill Bledsoe. In fact, he thought Bledsoe was going to run out of bounds. So Lewis just held his ground to protect a possible first down (that he didn't think Bledsoe would be stupid enough to try for). But sure enough, Bledsoe tried to make Lemons of Lemonade and the rest was history.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634112247416386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhSiGNZzsjJxEV_W11VFhlpX6O7UDxx7_f-6kL2NyFKgRnyzC8RkFlNBaowdom6qDADaHNz5cQSmiOqNlhdHwfQTMlG9IFofjYiglE12PqNswvee-0Y2OS75465kGe8nMRvol/s400/tom3.jpg" border="0" /><br />After that play, Bledsoe went to the hospital for a three day stay to get fluid drained out of his body and such. And in came the unknown Brady. And of course, Brady went on to take the Pats to their first Superbowl win that year. Then won two others. And is on his way to winning his third (unless the G-men pull off a miracle).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO17iXShCMEq4DuT4eOVu5JCZtZP4aHEAlx1FDFa-3_hAAJl795PK1uBTu_v3yzeiMxvSBr0eVYkPNXIAk7TPeJwbu8gUr2tEmcVk33DxC0gFstMeQIVFjr9AaqLuG4wNhRZ5/s1600-h/tom1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634378535388770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO17iXShCMEq4DuT4eOVu5JCZtZP4aHEAlx1FDFa-3_hAAJl795PK1uBTu_v3yzeiMxvSBr0eVYkPNXIAk7TPeJwbu8gUr2tEmcVk33DxC0gFstMeQIVFjr9AaqLuG4wNhRZ5/s400/tom1.jpg" border="0" /></a> In a recent article on Yahoo (or something) Lewis said he never has spoken to Brady, except the second time they played the Pats after his hit on Bledsoe. During that game, Brady broke out of the pocket and went to run for a first. <br /><br />Lewis was about 10 feet away and Brady went down into a slide. After the game, Mo went to ask Brady why he went down so fast. Brady responded that his coaches told him that if you see number 57, immediately fall down. Mo laughed.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB2OYEBJBuihjQpvrFBG445ZEd-rEL_-kBQQjUljE9sBJlwabLS2nk0yuGxvaRGtLrKNLegiJkZkXISHJRGv3f0XZHshLpm5RJJmktyvE4TlqFt-KgmTRs6g5wwyKBGSR6Bw6P/s1600-h/tom2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634198146762322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB2OYEBJBuihjQpvrFBG445ZEd-rEL_-kBQQjUljE9sBJlwabLS2nk0yuGxvaRGtLrKNLegiJkZkXISHJRGv3f0XZHshLpm5RJJmktyvE4TlqFt-KgmTRs6g5wwyKBGSR6Bw6P/s400/tom2.jpg" border="0" /></a> But here we are. Brady has everything in the world. He's got the hot chicks, the big money endorsements and is on the verge of his fourth ring. </div><div> </div><div>My question is this: Does he think of Mo? Does he every think of what would have happened if Mo didn't make that hit? Does he ever think of how obscure he would be right now?</div><div> </div><div>He would probably be a back up journeyman right now. He'd probably be backing up Brad Johnson somewhere. </div><div> </div><div>What about Mo? I think he lives in Texas or somewhere down south. He goes fishing. He helps the poor. He does charity. </div><div> </div><div>But he never got a ring. After 13 years as one of the best linebackers in the NFL, he never won a Superbowl. Never even got to one. In fact, Mo will not even watch the Superbowl. It is too heart wrenching to watch, knowing that he never got to one.</div><div> </div><div>So, I am calling Tom Brady out. I am here by announcing to the world (by world I mean, Figgy the Mick and Fakehead...and possibly Val Halla) that Tom Brady should donate one of his Superbowl Rings to Mo Lewis. In fact, I think he should give him his first one. That is the one Lewis really deserves. </div><div> </div><div>Without Mo Lewis, there is no Tom Brady. So Brady, if you are reading this (which I know you are), give a brother a bone. And I think you should not just give him one. But rent a hall and invite all his friends. Make it a suprise. Tell him that it is a charity event, but at the beginning of the party, get on the microphone and give your speech and hand over the rock. </div><div> </div><div>That is the way to do it. In fact, invite me and my buddies. </div><div> </div><div>So Brady, you are making history. But don't forget who buttered your bread!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Arnie Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11247830173339014335noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-66109873405459900412008-01-23T11:17:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:38.367-05:00Happy WednesdayHola Jets fans!

This furry fella came off the back of Eli Manning recently. It wasn't a monkey on there, it wasn't a gibbon, a lemur or a baboon either. That shit was a gorilla. </div><div> </div><div>The level of ass-kissing currently commencing on ESPN has me in blinking disbelief. I've waited years to hear the things that they are finally saying. It felt like I was on an island defending Eli for all these years. Especially from casual football fans who could be watching a game and not realize what they are seeing. Sometimes taking a sack is a smart thing, sometimes the receiver runs the wrong route (ummm, Jeremy Shockey 1 out of 3 routes) and the ball gets picked off - but oh, wait THAT was the quarterback's fault!</div><div> </div><div>Especially all the tabloid football broadcasters (you hear me Collinsworth, Costas and ESPECIALLY Tiki Barber?) who trounced this guy at every turn, every slim opportunity. The ESPN guys have been less 'sensational' about it, correctly analyzing plays and noting when an INT is the QB's fault or not. But more than not, they have always put the Kid down.<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_r0NGNo2e5QBJUs9w-trCANpW-xSi2svwKKlohXAoc__HbQMA96uj06RbT1_SJ_hdXn-rRBmo53zPZ_PPrrcM5fxennaY_iPgQ434NSacy05D8evP5Dg_fUa_80lgbyEr4b5a/s1600-h/fuck+off+critics.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158709612159798066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_r0NGNo2e5QBJUs9w-trCANpW-xSi2svwKKlohXAoc__HbQMA96uj06RbT1_SJ_hdXn-rRBmo53zPZ_PPrrcM5fxennaY_iPgQ434NSacy05D8evP5Dg_fUa_80lgbyEr4b5a/s400/fuck+off+critics.jpg" border="0" /></a> Fuck off, critics! All the hard work is paying off now.<br /></div><div> </div><div>In other news, TO's bonus option will be picked up. He's another year older and I hate that he is still in the NFC East, but at least it's not Randy Moss and Tom Brady. I have to admit that the guy is a fierce competitor though. When he was crying 'about' Tony Romo I think he was just in total shock that his season was over. The Cowboys just KNEW they were going to the Super Bowl this year. It is hard to be Lead Dog all year long and to keep it up.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbPqgfXFtgXWiZkx3rw09e16Z5z5lY3owjOLf5PwSZB9irBdUCdzsYe1ic_3AXzoRuRGgGY3WKdSt7Sacfq6c85iaANy-01Dsdw1DGDVAurQo2kaQY_7uGTL3Bm1XAwN1WW6T/s1600-h/TO's+baby+ass.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158709466130909986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbPqgfXFtgXWiZkx3rw09e16Z5z5lY3owjOLf5PwSZB9irBdUCdzsYe1ic_3AXzoRuRGgGY3WKdSt7Sacfq6c85iaANy-01Dsdw1DGDVAurQo2kaQY_7uGTL3Bm1XAwN1WW6T/s400/TO's+baby+ass.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Sad ro hear of Heath Ledger dying.

Didn't seem to bother either team very much, however, and all the talk all week long about it being a major factor evaporated right away. Moving the ball wasn't a problem for either team and neither QB seemed to have a problem throwing the ball. Minus one big play for Green Bay - a 90-yard pass to Donald Driver -the Giants pretty much handled the Packers. Long drives by the Giants offense was only resulting in field goals, but that served to ice down Favre and that explosive Packer offense on the sideline, not allowing them to create a tempo in their drives. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QyEd2ORJ4mjRBHGWn8pbbQHm7pCarBPovl-ZA8pDqVqrxo_oQDb_yG5onamhyphenhyphenyYRCKljYxlRLGwbnGKvJRi4MOgaymTtN1_RRCKNhv2jKvb7fjINfUKqprptmzj6RG0zAqHr/s1600-h/plax+on+harris.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157964144252742754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QyEd2ORJ4mjRBHGWn8pbbQHm7pCarBPovl-ZA8pDqVqrxo_oQDb_yG5onamhyphenhyphenyYRCKljYxlRLGwbnGKvJRi4MOgaymTtN1_RRCKNhv2jKvb7fjINfUKqprptmzj6RG0zAqHr/s400/plax+on+harris.jpg" border="0" /></a> What can you say about Plaxico Burress? The man had a career game. He didn't score any TD's, but he abused a top cornerback in Al Harris. Green Bay's defense relied on one-on-one coverage and to make plays through the pass rush, much like the Giants. Except the Packers have supposedly better cornerbacks: Charles Woodson got his ass RUN OVER in the first quarter by Brandon Jacobs and we never heard from him again, Al Harris got beat like a bitch all day, and all game continued to talk, and all game Plaxico made him look like a sucker. I was most surprised by Plax's success and Eli's no fear in going after him.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2Msdmvr-_tWA_3tXYS-jyedb3UhmmZj4jaq2OSKy9ayB2WmwZLoT37r4n0VeCv3-KBVynRUZT1VBkJqrWsBRDh0CXZGB6LZQiV34x0rErStzr2J4vbzqAz9hBv5xZBJW_Iz2/s1600-h/webster.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157964054058429522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2Msdmvr-_tWA_3tXYS-jyedb3UhmmZj4jaq2OSKy9ayB2WmwZLoT37r4n0VeCv3-KBVynRUZT1VBkJqrWsBRDh0CXZGB6LZQiV34x0rErStzr2J4vbzqAz9hBv5xZBJW_Iz2/s400/webster.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Defense won the day again. I can't underscore how important the defense is, even if the stat sheet doesn't even explode at you. The pressure applied by the Giants front defensive four is the paramount ingredient, not so much getting a lot of sacks, but making the QB uncomfortable in how he throws - not being able to step in, when they step in knocking them on their ass, etc. You have seen in three playoff games three top-tier QB's in Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo and Brett Favre become unravled late in games, making bad throws even when there is not necessarily that much pressure. I believe the term is called ' happy feet'. In the play in which Favre tossed the INT to the Giants in overtime you could see Favre threw the ball before he was really ready to. How come? He heard the footsteps coming.</div><div>Corey Webster has been playing incredible lately, the injury to Sam Madison giving him the opportunity to shine. Not enough praise can be heaped on the front four though, especially in the second half of games during this remarkable playoff run: DE's Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyioura and DT's Fred Robbins and Justin Tuck. The pressure they apply without the benefit of blitzers is the reason we are where we are right now. That, and no turnovers by the QB.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfRBkdnwKI5qIZZMAzLv973JMQNW-W3jbgWfyyTijDuuszPP3araELGS6DgvFhjN-qb_XepwonRja4NEfv7RfYuf0BicbjnGdDtrcT8fet9W-RJKerztMTNiJmFZaO11Qq-fCL/s1600-h/tynes.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157963981043985474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfRBkdnwKI5qIZZMAzLv973JMQNW-W3jbgWfyyTijDuuszPP3araELGS6DgvFhjN-qb_XepwonRja4NEfv7RfYuf0BicbjnGdDtrcT8fet9W-RJKerztMTNiJmFZaO11Qq-fCL/s400/tynes.jpg" border="0" /></a>How about Lawrence Tynes missing two potentially game-winning field goals in regulation, only to drill a 47-yarder in Overtime to give the G-men the win. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf2UP7ZSgmdKobjO0JFxMFCDviWftiq1TR8ZqrzBYNPAwhtxk7pTvmdy4IshIMQyXg2TnjdtbhFX2J2DclQM42ZfymZoPhlot8ogEuOKBpsLHelQjHuISHfxmge6hVPNOhlwoB/s1600-h/eli+and+stray.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157963877964770354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf2UP7ZSgmdKobjO0JFxMFCDviWftiq1TR8ZqrzBYNPAwhtxk7pTvmdy4IshIMQyXg2TnjdtbhFX2J2DclQM42ZfymZoPhlot8ogEuOKBpsLHelQjHuISHfxmge6hVPNOhlwoB/s400/eli+and+stray.jpg" border="0" /></a>I love to see scenes like this.

Now, let's spoil the Patriots' perfect season!!!!</div><div> </div><div>How comical is Eli's leadership now, Tiki? I'll tell you what's comical: The Giants are a better team without you. How dumb do you feel right now on the Today Show while the Giants are in the Super Bowl? Or sitting on that glib and tabloid set that they call NBC football. Because, as memory serves me, in the first game of the season (Giants vs. Dallas) Collinsworth and Costas and Tiki had a riot taking apart Eli and dissing him and saying he doesn't have what it takes. Well, all you motherfuckers, how smart and 'expert' are you now? You are a talking fucking head and you wear make-up. Karma has never been richer, cause now as Tiki schleps around NYC people look at him and laugh, "What a dickhead, he could be in the Super Bowl right now if he didn't run himself out of the locker room by dissing his coaches and teammates." Serves him fucking right in my Big Blue opinion.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieLrwfwbf6FzIC5kNTJ7w-oicfG7X9_3q_IoK2LW-A-fg-8pMtoAVuWYvMDUlhVWQPKOXudFETqoCO-jnLRTVZGBWAI-t9Al0KvCuTGHkwA6zSUk0Se6S-DAv8wLu7Qgn0yJxV/s1600-h/coughlin+eli+strahan.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157963667511372818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieLrwfwbf6FzIC5kNTJ7w-oicfG7X9_3q_IoK2LW-A-fg-8pMtoAVuWYvMDUlhVWQPKOXudFETqoCO-jnLRTVZGBWAI-t9Al0KvCuTGHkwA6zSUk0Se6S-DAv8wLu7Qgn0yJxV/s400/coughlin+eli+strahan.jpg" border="0" /></a>I hope I see these faces all together for years to come. Strahan has at least two more years in him if he can get some training camp concessions. What a great year. Serious strides have been made on this team and it makes me happy, thinking back to my birthday four years ago when the Giants traded for Eli Manning, and here we are on the cusp of the Championship, up against the juggernaut Patriots. Of course, no one will pick the Giants to win because hardly anyone picked them to beat Tampa Bay. Then nary an expert except for Mike Ditka picked the Giants to upset the Cowboys. And then NOBODY in the whole damn country save for the Giants fans themselves gave them a SNOWBALLS chance against the Packers. This is just the way we like it. We'll travel to another continent to play a game, to Wisconsin, Dallas, Arizona, the Moon - it doesn't matter: 10 straight road wins! Bring on the damn Patriots! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Figgythemickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08585739638985933401noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-38106540248107512282008-01-15T11:28:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:40.707-05:00O YEAH!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGKoBzp3n3mvsfvfonaujJtsRy9YPrtLV2s-2GtJeVfe1_RMgIRgSrTiho8WV4NitvmJsq4-Lw7M3wfqwVI76EVU9Xol_geOXFgx4OljtlaENpftL14-MdzWEcF6vGhCDjufW/s1600-h/eli+and+favre.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155751488770993154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGKoBzp3n3mvsfvfonaujJtsRy9YPrtLV2s-2GtJeVfe1_RMgIRgSrTiho8WV4NitvmJsq4-Lw7M3wfqwVI76EVU9Xol_geOXFgx4OljtlaENpftL14-MdzWEcF6vGhCDjufW/s400/eli+and+favre.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Man o man, what can I say? I'M LOVING IT!!</div><br /><div>I am savoring these moments. And I hope our 'road warrior' mentality pays off yet again up in the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. Taking care of the football is of paramount importance in bad weather conditions. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>There are many shout-outs needed, so let me gets these out of the way before all the pictures:</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Eli</strong>- way to go, kid. Now everyone can shut the hell up. Especially if we sneak out a win in America's Siberia. His playoff performance has been impeccable and I couldn't ask for anything more. Great management of the game, not forcing bad throws, no fumbles, great job at making line changes, play audibles and taking what the defense gives you. And what can I say about the 47-second TD drive to tie it up at the half of the Dallas game? Elway-esque? </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>New York Giant Defense</strong> - unbelievable job. The QB pressure gives me a hard-on. We keep losing guys and the back-ups are stepping in and playing their butts off. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Offensive Line</strong>- though the Giants are not exactly mashing opposing defenses in these playoffs with the run game, and the big guys up front have let up a few sacks - overall, they are playing well and I cansee they are fighting for their quarterback.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubs4J3IACJEGeqVBO8JnMlLB8b_SZf0RA72DWCk0HReWM3mmI2PZvxeQEk8My22FgPLDnYRbmmLjgg7XoODn0OaA7jNxPkBDBdcnYjiFguKNhxLWn6GdWgR1FLGACVMqjmMqD/s1600-h/steve+smith.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155747236753370050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="323" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubs4J3IACJEGeqVBO8JnMlLB8b_SZf0RA72DWCk0HReWM3mmI2PZvxeQEk8My22FgPLDnYRbmmLjgg7XoODn0OaA7jNxPkBDBdcnYjiFguKNhxLWn6GdWgR1FLGACVMqjmMqD/s400/steve+smith.jpg" width="293" border="0" /></a> How about the contributions of our young guys?!? Steve Smith (2nd round WR) has had several big catches in these playoffs. The rookie had a reputation for great hands, route-running and football IQ coming out of USC. Late in the season, he is finally making an impact. CB Aaron Ross, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, Safeties Michael Johnson and Craig Dahl are all rookies playing in must-win games.<br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCPyVGauxKAAXkonPgnpht2bPfRvXjE60WctWNcHR5OKghP2jd8AKthwUQvJCm-ZQZB7LK3hnhGmj2bt5_XlifJ4rELoTyCiEhov-LCN10_NHZa3sR4oktv7odXtq2JSXsc3x/s1600-h/toomer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155746777191869362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCPyVGauxKAAXkonPgnpht2bPfRvXjE60WctWNcHR5OKghP2jd8AKthwUQvJCm-ZQZB7LK3hnhGmj2bt5_XlifJ4rELoTyCiEhov-LCN10_NHZa3sR4oktv7odXtq2JSXsc3x/s400/toomer.jpg" border="0" /></a>What a 2008 playoffs for the Well-Dressed-One, all-time Giants receptions leader Amani Toomer. </div><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzH23DVzUE0-sKGZFS9y0sQ9VlJobcUMVTc-1TDq4DQ-Kcp_RKM_GQ0CvdmxMhA011vJvgeOkE3xuNBRfB2Tue7afbvMzHIb93-mVh5GePnfUuLZAFhERg8yT_KyIPquCyQYl/s1600-h/jess+simpson+in+Iraq.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155746377759910818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzH23DVzUE0-sKGZFS9y0sQ9VlJobcUMVTc-1TDq4DQ-Kcp_RKM_GQ0CvdmxMhA011vJvgeOkE3xuNBRfB2Tue7afbvMzHIb93-mVh5GePnfUuLZAFhERg8yT_KyIPquCyQYl/s400/jess+simpson+in+Iraq.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>Thank YOU, Jessica Simpson.

With that said, here's hoping that he doesn't go be a head coach after this season. What a marvelous job this guy has done. Aside from the QB pressure that he is generating, I think his greatest work this year has come during halftime of games and the defensive adjustments he has made. A SUPERLATIVE performance this year.</div><div><br />I know you guys are Jet fans, but this is good for your area too. C'mon!

What has happened to this site while I have been on the DL?)<br /><br /><strong>1. The Jets got the worst pick in the draft for a 4-12 team</strong>, that is so fucking lame. I'm still glad they beat the Chiefs. I bet <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Herm</span> Edwards lost on purpose, he is the type, fuck him.<br /><br /><strong>2. Chad vs. Kellen Clemens</strong> - it's a toss up, but Clemens blows. I have a feeling the Jets are going to use Chad as trade bait though. We'll see.<br /><br /><strong>3. Speaking of Clemens</strong>, I almost like the guy now, and I'm talking about Roger. I love the fact that he is going down fighting, taping the rat, suing the guy for defamation, going on 60 Minutes, the shit is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bananas</span>!!!!! I think he is the poster child for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">roids</span> (throwing a bat at somebody after you hit them = <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">roid</span> rage) but I also have a huge problem with the fucking feds getting involved and basing their case on the word of a guy trying to save himself from jail. It's bullshit.<br /><br /><br /><strong>4. The writer's strike is killing me.</strong> How many more fucking reality shows must I endure? I really wish they would legalize the public executions of anyone on MTV or reality shows that blow. I don't have a problem with shows like the "Biggest Loser" because it encourages something good, so no need to put them before the firing squad (I do NOT watch that show, by the way) and the Home show where they build houses for kids with dead parents and shit, that's okay. But, any reality show on MTV and pretty much every other reality show needs to have the contestants killed. I say put on the Yule lug year around or maybe MTV can play some fucking MUSIC VIDEOS. Tina Tequila should be publicly raped and killed. The Hills stars should be put in a gas chamber. Paris Hilton should be shot in the knees and eaten by a tiger, and so on. OR, since I believe that all reality TV is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">completely</span> FAKE and scripted, they should just admit it's not "reality" like the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">WWF</span> and the like admitted it's not a sport. I would be okay with that because then they are just bad regular <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">tv</span> shows and you can blame the writers. Speaking of reality TV, last night I watched part of two reality shows, Celebrity Apprentice and Celebrity Rehab. First of all, everyone on each show should be beaten, maybe killed. Regardless, the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Apprentice</span> isn't bad but only for one reason ...<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154315679097154418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY_xFMvkn3J9o0P7pA_LxosW2kO8LIdKINGMLm48Hvn30RZYH_0PDhlP1mx3J8XEJ1xx3kVq1wsOV87fouYaFcNij_V3gtu-qBdw9TMw5G_URjCENYVMDWl_r1v72wS9YRbhEt_g/s400/aaivanka_trump_l6.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154315782176369538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9uXydZk7xb0aznNeubsbFQFvxkhuPjlR44VSoLUAiXqD-1Ok9V8vBEFx9xL3RCKM1_8SXPPxCpZXqk_iPIV7QUAhM1Lt9HaTGaXXZbAefNBB5enSGNfNKKhPs39-L224rT0ZeNA/s400/atrump.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Dude, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Ivanka</span> Trump is pretty hot. And she sounds smart, for some reason I keep thinking she will sound Swedish or something, but that is her mom I guess. Regardless, the more <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Ivanka</span> the more I watch. But the term "Celebrity" Apprentice is pushing it. I don't know any of the celebs on the show except a Baldwin, Pussy and some sports people (not real sports, shit like fighting, boxing, softball?). That cunt <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Omorosa</span> is on again, which is a joke, but even worse (and a clear example of why reality isn't real) is that when she fucked up the first mission and was a cunt to everyone the Trump didn't fire her because everyone loves to hate her so he needs to keep her around in case somebody is watching. Well, it made me stop watching pretty much, except for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Ivanka</span> Watch. (Oh, Trump's son is on as well, the kid is a fucking ugly idiot and clearly is resting on his (dad's) laurels for the rest of his life). Anyway, Baldwin is annoying as fuck but I am rooting for him.<br /><br /><br />Speaking of Baldwins, Daniel Baldwin is on "Celebrity" Rehab. That show is one for the ages. First of all, "Dr. Drew" is as much of a doctor as "Dr. Nick Rivera" on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Simpsons</span> is. What are his credentials to run a rehab? Right. The good doctor is in over his head and clueless and I hope nobody EVER lets him diagnosis or go near a patient after this show ends. The hands down best part of the Rehab show was when the guy from Grease and Taxi (the old show) can't even speak and Dr. Drew shits his pants and calls real medical professionals to take care of him. I wish that guy died (either the doctor or Grease guy), it would have been awesome. There's a porn star who tries to smuggle dildos in the rehab AND used to fuck one of the loser musicians (one-hit wonder band) who is also there - gee, what a surprise!!!! Speaking of losers, China and Bridgette <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Nielson</span> are there, of course, as they are making their reality show rounds, as are some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">stinkbox</span> from American Idol and finally, "Jamie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Foxworth</span>" from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Erkel</span> show. Her mother's last name is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Foxx</span>, but I guess there is only room for one Jamie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Foxx</span> in Hollywood, especially when the loser one is a somewhat hot but pothead loser girl. One great thing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">VHI</span> did (please, please let their corporate headquarters get bombed in the next 9-11) was show "Home Video" of the celebs doing drugs and going out. Except, they must think America is a bunch of dumb fucks because the "home video" is professionally shot with a cameraman!!!!!!!! Reality????? Please.<br /><br />From clips of the season to come, it looks like Daniel Baldwin calls out the doctor on what a sham the rehab program is, the porn star gets strangers to come into the facility and get naked with her, and Dr. Drew walks out on them at one point. I swear to fucking God, Mary Ellis-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Burham</span> is in the 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">th</span> Circle of Hell right now ( I think that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">stinkbox</span> died of cancer, thank God) for what she hath released upon the world. I think Reality TV is to blame for global warming and 9-11 as well. Anyway, Dr. Drew should have the license he got out of a cracker-jack box seized from him and he should have his stupid glasses shoved up his ass before skinning him alive. All of the "celebrities" on the Rehab show should be strapped with explosives and dropped from a plane on Afghanistan, except Daniel Baldwin. Why do I give the Baldwins a pass? Alec saves them. I think Alec is fucking great, funny as shit in real life, as evidenced by the message leaked by his cunt ex-wife to the press, and on 30 Rock. Anyway, that's my two cents.<br /><br /><br /><strong>5. The Giants vs. the Cowboys</strong> - enjoy it Giants' fans. When I say "Enjoy it" I mean the drubbing the Cowboys are going to give your precious team. My prediction is 'Boys 34 - Giants 13. Eli is going to wear brown pants (with the permission of the NFL) to hide the shits he will be taking when he get sacked and picked off. Two okay games in a row for Eli when it matters? Not going to happen. And then there's the secondary of the Giants, which did a great job on whoever the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Bucs</span>' receivers were. Now they have to face Tony <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Romo</span>, who is not gay nor a shitty QB like Jeff Garcia is, and TO, Terry Glenn, even <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Crayton</span> isn't bad, throw in Jason <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Witten</span> and there is a situation.

The Achilles heel!<br /><br />Of course, my team totally shit the bed last week, so who am I to talk, but FINALLY a chink in the armor of the Dallas Cowboys. You take away the big play and make Tony Romo a pocket passer, game manager and you can win. Corralling Juluis Jones and Marion Barber is tough too, but it can be done. ESPECIALLY when the quarterback is being distracted by his new celebrity romance. I mean, c'mon, tell me he doesn't walk into team meetings and everyone is thinking about and joking with him about tapping that ass? Its Daisy Duke for Pete's sake!<br /><br />Okay, enough about those fuckers. Let's talk Jets. I know last week is probably a sore subject, but it was a game! I didn't like all the Bard Smith though, he made a couple of nice plays, a few first downs, but he also looked like he would fumble or get picked when he threw the ball. You have to be happy about the way they played considering the first Jet offensive play was a pass that sailed right to the Pats' Eugene Wilson which he walked into the end zone with for a three-yard touchdown. In addition, Clemens was down for the count, a victim of a nasty sideways pancake courtesy of DE Richard Seymour. Here is where I realized something: playing Pennington is probably the better move. But who trots out series after series? Chad, the guy who beat them in Foxboro last year? Nope. Brad F'in Smith. I couldn't believe it. And they kept running the same three plays over and over again. It drove me crazy.<br /><br />But despite all that, the J-E-T-S were still in the game. You gotta be happy about that. Tom Brady threw nary a touchdown, the Jets the first team in the league to do that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9D7GrCvawXAma5yo-zNlN-3vlYnOXYDsYzXcc4HOTggQvKqlfs8I1gtHeUOx9rb4kqc2yH_AD7Jk_Tim_Vsh8Y8NcF8I_CBaWuo1WGYwn1qFj9Sx4zFqfS1N43JsQBKpJllAa/s1600-h/mcfadden.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9D7GrCvawXAma5yo-zNlN-3vlYnOXYDsYzXcc4HOTggQvKqlfs8I1gtHeUOx9rb4kqc2yH_AD7Jk_Tim_Vsh8Y8NcF8I_CBaWuo1WGYwn1qFj9Sx4zFqfS1N43JsQBKpJllAa/s400/mcfadden.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145741102205459026" border="0" /></a><br />Let's talk draft choice. Who do you think the Jets will pick? Will they trade down for more picks? Miami is going to have the first pick, but what do they do with it? You have Ronnie Brown for the next few years, and he was emerging as a big-time threat in the ground game and through the air catching the ball out of the backfiled. So do they take McFadden of Arkansas? The kid is sick, absolutely sick and loves big games. He beat LSU this year nearly single-handedly and LSU is one of the top defenses in college football and they were entirely keying on McFadden. Yet he still shredded them. I don't see how the Dolphins can resist him. They have an aging defense however, and could maybe select that Dorsey kid from LSU. Then again, their QB situation is a problem so whose to say that they won't pick Broehm from Louisville? Or, they too could trade their pick to someone else for more picks down the line.<br /><br />Then comes the next pick, NO. 2, which is very up in the air still. The Jets, the Falcons and the Rams all have 3 wins currently. With two games to go that situation can change very quickly. Plus, there is the Ravens, Raiders, Chiefs and 49'ers with 4 wins at the moment. So if none of them win a game from here on out, they will be in the running for that No. 2 pick. I don't think the Jets are going to lose out the season either, so they could really be looking at draft picks 3, 4 or 5 probably. So I ask you, the Jets faithful, who do you draft? What position needs the most immediate help?<br /><br />Bill Parcells appears interested in becoming the manager of football operations with the Atlanta Falcons. Fucking Damn it! It is sheer anathema to me that he is not in Giants blue. Come manage our shit! You and Coughlin are friends!<br /><br />I think the Colts are going to give the Pats the ultimate run for their money this time round. They are getting healthier. Not having Dwight Freeney is big, and potentially no Marvin Harrison, but the field and weather conditions don't favor their games anyway. Its all about the Colt O line and Joseph Addai. He runs like a mudder, nimble and great vision and field awareness. The Colt D is very good and getting better for their playoff run. Bob Sanders is the shit. Tell me you guys aren't going to be Colts fans when the AFC Championship rolls around.<br /><br />I realize the Giants are going anywhere, MAYBE past the first round because we are actually a good football team on the road, but I am sure we are dead after that. I am happy if we win at Buffalo to get in, because there ain't a snowballs' chance in hell we beat the Patriots the last week of the season. Though that is a great game to take Brady out in.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm9JQIDzmBaaerfBlvxKNEMNmuMc5wTI-ANONax-5aKbWcSsXClxXAYJ4YThbOhXFDqYKUdhSsEhbpC7X1OXHQq-N4nlzi73MqZ_3GRThuIQajo_V69wenT70fQRD47a1kajQq/s1600-h/Favre.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm9JQIDzmBaaerfBlvxKNEMNmuMc5wTI-ANONax-5aKbWcSsXClxXAYJ4YThbOhXFDqYKUdhSsEhbpC7X1OXHQq-N4nlzi73MqZ_3GRThuIQajo_V69wenT70fQRD47a1kajQq/s400/Favre.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145741402853169762" border="0" /></a><br />So if Blue can't do it, I'm a Packer fan all the way! Breatt Favre rescued my fantasy season for me. My original QB, Mr. Drew Brees, had me go 0-5 to start the season, then I dumped his ass and went with Old Man Favre. Favre got me to the 8th seed and into the playoffs I went against the No. 1 seed who had Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson AND Chester Taylor, Braylon Edwards, etc. And I won! Our league just ended this weekend and I finished third which means I get my money back. My girlfriend finished in second so she gets 100 bucks, so our household made out pretty well this fantasy year. I understand Unruly has been kicking ass too.<br /><br />Finally, I had to admit loving watching the Dolphins/Ravens game this past weekend, where Miami earned their first victory of the year. I was rooting for them. It was a great, dramatic finsih too. A 60-yard walkoff TD pass. Scored by a fast white guy no less. Man, it was like they won the Super Bowl. I'm happy for them that they got that feeling for one week this season. So many teams win joylessly these days, it was really nice to see genuine thrill.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbqNGDhAFaPbJLbnFQvfekowpVXiMQxCOqRlJ8X_l7XehTXeU71u0t9ye4CfFHKImamc16yAzm83lAE5NrzZRJrSIj0OKteunTeYzG0ZI0RZC58c1i54CqHYMuRC2BZfFLzvn/s1600-h/caramillo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbqNGDhAFaPbJLbnFQvfekowpVXiMQxCOqRlJ8X_l7XehTXeU71u0t9ye4CfFHKImamc16yAzm83lAE5NrzZRJrSIj0OKteunTeYzG0ZI0RZC58c1i54CqHYMuRC2BZfFLzvn/s400/caramillo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145741712090815090" border="0" /></a><br />Then the Giants blew it, so I went back to being pissed off.<br /><br />See you F'ers soon!<br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/MikekiM/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/MikekiM/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Figgythemickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08585739638985933401noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-38399997993833307792007-12-16T01:46:00.000-05:002007-12-16T02:07:45.382-05:00Quick PredictsThe Mick Returns!!!!<br /><br />Endless well deserved props go to Fakehead! Great articles.<br /><br />Here are my (very) early playoff breakdowns:<br /><br />Lets get the easy part over with:<br /><br />NFC<br /><br />Dallas and Green Bay obviously have the first round bye. Seattle has its division wrapped up and Tampa virtually has there's. The Giants need to win vs. Washington and they're in as the first wild card and then Minnesota, one dangerous fucking team, looks hungry and headed for that 6 seed.<br /><br />Predictions past there? I don't mind if I do. You heard it here first folks: Eli Manning gets his first playoff victory at the expense of the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Giants are road warriors this season, so its almost to our benefit to be a wild card. 6-1 right now with one road game to go at Buffalo. The only road loss was the first game of the season at Dallas, in a game that the G-men almost snuck away with. The Giants win at Tampa.<br />Seattle is a tough place to win at. But the Vikings are a downright nasty, physical football team. I like them to sneak it out at Seattle.<br /><br />Of course, this is probably where the road ends for these two teams. Dallas is just bananas and lucky. Green Bay hopefully will get healthy and give them a run for their money in Dallas. I'd love it if Favre were in the Super Bowl again.<br /><br /><br />The AFC is considerably harder to sort out in terms of the Wild Card picture, but here it goes:<br /><br />Pats and Colts have first round bye and the Steelers face Cleveland for the third time this year, but at Heinz Field where the field is ketchup due to contractural stadium obligations I think the Steelers will prevail yet again, though I love Romeo and what they have going on in Cleveland, Jamal Lewis is a mudder type of RB, but the Steelers win. Jacksonville at the Chargers is harder to call, I like the Jaguars. Of course, this is where it ends for the Steelers and Jaguars and the inevitable showdown at Foxboro between the Colts and the Pats. Addai is the superior runner in this game, but the Colt O line just isn't the same in pass protection this year on the left side, the Pats win, damn it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Figgythemickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08585739638985933401noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-72149866344396381462007-12-13T16:04:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:44.455-05:00Miracle in Massachusetts?Um, I don't think so.<br /><div></div><br /><div>The Jets travel to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Foxboro</span> this Sunday and are currently favored to LOSE by 24 points. To be honest, I think that is giving the Jets more credit than they deserve. Let's face it, these Jets are not the Jets of 1969, who were 18 point underdogs in Super Bowl III against the Baltimore Colts, who were 13-1 at the time.

Were it not for the Jets ratting out the Pats, then they would have no motivation to go undefeated and show the world they can win without cheating. What other motivation do they have? They are a bunch of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">jerkoffs</span> otherwise, with nothing to prove, everyone knows they are awesome, they are all fucking models, whether those models are their wives or not, and so on. So fuck them. They should BE GRATEFUL the Jets alerted the NFL about their reindeer games! So grateful they should at least take Tom Brady out of the game when it is 73-0. We'll see.<br /><br />Honestly though, I hope that the Jets can put some points on the board and at least make it interesting. In a perfect world, they would knock Brady out of the game, but that could be a double-edged sword if <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Cassel</span> comes in and still kicks the Jets' asses.<br /><br />My legit prediction is: Pats 59 Jets 17. I hope I am WRONG and it is a lot closer, but I'm scared.<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">OTHER STUFF</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><strong>1. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">MLB</span> is a mess.</strong> This whole Mitchell Report this is a disaster. I know <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">roids</span> fucked up the game, but as long as they try to keep it out from now on what can you do about what happened in the past? Is everyone going to get an asterisk? Besides, where is the concrete proof any one of these guys took <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">roids</span> besides a fucking rat singing to make his jail sentence a few years less. It's bullshit. I wouldn't trust half of the "sources" the report cites, but they apparently do. Of course Clemens and certain hitters were on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">roids</span>. I was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">suprised</span> about Paul Lo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Duca</span>, but fuck him, he is a National now anyway. At least Beltran and Wright weren't named. The fact remains, however, that you can take as many drugs as humanly possible, but they haven't figured out a drug you can take so you hit .345 every year, react to a Pedro Martinez <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">curveball</span> or see a Mariano fastball before they end up in the catcher's mitt. Hitting a baseball is fucking hard to do, no matter how many illegal drugs you take! So I am conflicted about it all, but in the end I don't really give that much of a shit, because like all sports, it has no real effect on my life.<br /><strong></strong><br /><br /><strong>2. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">GMen</span> play the Redskins this week.</strong> I think the Giants should win this game. Washington really isn't that good. I guess we'll see who shows up to play at QB for the Giants this year. It will be Peyton Manning's little brother or the retarded kid from "Life Goes On" or maybe a combo of both (retard in first half, little bro in second). I don't understand how Jacobs is always injured. What a fucking pussy. He needs to man up because the Giants need him.<br /><br /><strong>3. I heard a rumor that Jake <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Gyllenhall</span> has agreed to play Joe Namath in a film about the Jets QB.</strong> That would be pretty fucking cool. I hope it happens. I'm not a huge fan of Jake, I always confuse him with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">SpiderMan (the actor who plays him). </span>They are like, the same actor. One should kill the other, because the living murderer one would get all the dead one's parts offered to him. Anyway, they should make more movies about football. I would watch them in the theater or rent them. (Although I haven't seen "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Invincible</span>" yet).<br /><br /><strong>4. I cannot wait to see "I Am Legend."</strong> It looks awesome. Something about the last man on earth thing always gets me. Plus, I like how it is just him and his dog. Unfortunately, it looks like the dog doesn't make it. That would be pretty depressing for me to watch, because I am going to be miserable the day my precious dog dies. I fucking worship my dog.<br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143572437805177122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFIoNORnPtUt58x2sCx_aVS76_ZRv3rzofRAPEM-Sh0EqvRmN5wLNT4S_gChp9QPQhjhf-yaYiku52c1H3mod7ttVbn_nDTwG2ymDpUgCjRqGEOyhdLe_GpuVKk_MHz6VnmjnbUQ/s400/bama2.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>There she is at the beach.

Well, Brian the Dog and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Stewie</span> were in Colorado and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Stewie</span> lost some skiing race and the two ended up not having a way to get back home so they carjacked some guy. It had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. Something about that dog Brian is the best. Maybe it's the fact that he talks, or maybe because he drinks, I don't know, but it's comic gold.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143573988288370994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvC35GHny5U-zmZJl65qdzDpPeYuyk_Ld_5FRIb1nnSBLZ_YcgwKXDeWCnVppoquHn0l2AgS_r51gyTnugi5Dw1ZuxqhE5-IEzNZGveGvUNO6jyNRsJusLRRCvZ-XB5LtsNEmLxw/s400/afam.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><p><strong>6.

Read it or don't - I don't give a fuck. (GO JETS)First things last, the Jets battle the stupid Browns this weekend. The Browns are surprising a lot of people as they are 7-5 and could be headed to the postseason. Derek Anderson, who was cast off by another team, has found a new home in Cleveland (mostly because my 5 year-old niece is a better professional quarterback than Charlie Frye) and is playing well. So well that the Browns have to figure out what to do with gay Brady Quinn, their number one draft choice. (I have to tell you, judging from those Subway <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">commercials </span></span>Quinn is in, he is has a lot to learn about how to act and throw. He throws those sandwiches like some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">stinkbox</span></span> girl).<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141279878751852786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5jwa6uLE7vuzyD9PcuxgRWGEKqP0TEAXDutpGC3zB2ly4KLGSUx6Y-wVEJ42SvcYPR2ED9D9RFNFs-ubfdWhWJkPiWfZTuG820RihfafzbPt-kPAvoqadpU5w54pnwjZ0jmazTw/s400/ada.jpg" border="0" /> <p>I think that Anderson is saying "BAAAAALLLLLLLSSSSSS" in the photo above.</p><p>Anyway, the Browns defense is crappy, so the Jets have a chance. However, the Browns' offense is fucking good, Mr. Anderson, Drug Dealing Jamal and B. Edwards at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">WR</span></span> are legit threats, not to mention that dolt Winslow who almost killed himself on a fucking motorcycle. The Jets' defense is going to have to step it up big time, or their offense is. That being said, I think it is going to be close, and both teams are going to score some points. It is the Browns' game to lose though, because the Jets have nothing to lose and the Browns are playing for the playoffs. That means they are more likely to make the bed the color of their uniforms, as they say. </p><p>Interestingly, both Kellen Clemens and Derek Anderson are from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bumblefuck</span></span>, Oregon (pronounced ORE-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">GON</span></span> not ORE-GIN for those of you who are retarded). They actual battled in the Oregon State Playoffs and twice in college, where Clemens went to Oregon and Anderson went to Oregon State. Clemens only beat Anderson once, and Anderson's numbers were better overall. However, I think it is pretty cool that they are meeting up again in the NFL. </p><p>If I had the time (and talent) and didn't write all these gay blogs I would write a movie based on these two, or least based on 2 rival quarterbacks from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">bumblefuck</span></span> towns in weird states that play in high school, college and eventually the pros and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">SuperBowl</span></span> (just to make it interesting). In my movie, one of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">QBs</span></span> would be a fucking drunk, womanizing fuckhead but a great leader on the field. (I.e., the opposite of Eli Manning, who I will discuss later). The other QB will be a family guy who is also a great leader, but not a fucking drunken mess and womanizer. Basically it would be like Micky Mantle and Roger Maris, but they are on different teams. There would have to be a few scenes of them meeting (Al Pacino and Robert <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">DeNiro</span></span> in "Heat" style) but they would have to hate one another. The question is, who would play these two? I'm thinking Leonardo DiCaprio could play one of them (more on him later) and maybe Heath Ledger as the drunk quarterback, but I'm not sure how big Ledger is. You could always throw a girl in the mix, like sober QB is married to one of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">stinkboxes</span></span> drunk QB used to bang or something, but it might be better just to focus on the football. Maybe you have one of the drunk <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">QB's</span></span> teammates die and it changes him right before the playoffs start and he gets his shit together to make a run to the Super Bowl. I don't know, it's a work in progress. It would be funny, dramatic and action packed, with plenty of tits, trust me. I don't want Michael Bay directing it though, maybe somebody like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Ridley</span></span> Scott. (Like he would EVER!). For the coaches, maybe James <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Gandolfini</span></span> for drunk QB (always yelling at him) and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Ving</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Rhames</span></span> for sober <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">QB's</span></span> coach. For the drunk <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">QB's</span></span> father you will strike box office gold if Jack Nicholson agrees to do it, and he's crazy enough he probably would. For the ladies, you have to find a spot for the Transformers girl and the cheerleader from the TV Show Friday Night Lights, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Minka</span></span> Kelly or something?

Rumor has it Leonardo DiCaprio is trying to be friends with his ex-girl Giselle (granted, the "rumor" part is something I learned while reading one of my wife's awful tabloid magazines while I was pinching a loaf earlier in the week). </strong>But it begs an interesting question, which would you rather be, a hall of fame quarterback who wins 4 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">superbowls</span></span> or a world-famous actor? Granted, I am and will never be either, but whatever. The reasoning behind this question is straightforward, what gets you more glory (and ass).</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141280286773745922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFi4lpdZq56fDlh-5XeFYrqJSFNMbidLjIa79-vuvmZSfviI8yOgRwRXN5aSnDWYoCktcZj-vvvfjdoOBiYoT9Bk6YPoDUpQdLsK7tcxAcfmT5nZyFx7tx1Nq_7HAcp4Re0uk3mQ/s400/agizzy.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Above is Tom Brady's girlfriend. Have I mentioned that he also knocked up an actress? Granted, the actress is okay, she's no Giselle, but she's still pretty good looking. Anyway, if you are a world famous QB then you have fame and fortune and ads but you are only "hot" for so many years. Granted, I'm sure Dan <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Marino</span></span> still can get laid at will, but do you think Terry Bradshaw is banging as many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">chics</span></span> as Jack Nicholson? It's not even close. I bet you that if it is between John <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Elway</span> and Jack Nicholson for the girl below (who is apparently some sort of actress) that it's Jack in a heartbeat.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141001191208917186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirHTAGPzPEr7FHPvu5MLOX9EfCk2xlKMhSUjEWTtFmcFFu32CPJtbU02AA3ltcGFXtj5jwQzkRmfoBS-pA1T1pxxhh0H4rzSvnGGjmObMEACSQajqd2PmyQdpDmB29LW4LUWC41g/s400/asof.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>Granted, playing a sport and being awesome at it and being part of a team and winning championships would be fucking AWESOME. What's the super bowl of acting? Winning an Oscar. Big fucking deal. If little gay <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Italian</span></span> dudes can win them then you aren't more of a man for winning one. A Super Bowl makes you a fucking man, because there are 300 lb guys looking to literally kill you on the field. Winning an Oscar meant you had to deal with catered food while you were "on location" for a few fucking weeks. Not to mention the fact, if you play a "mental" you are in the running to win an Oscar, when if you are a "mental" then you can't even play football. Wait, what the fuck am I talking about? Oh yeah, my point is, when it comes to ass, acting probably gets you more in the long run. Nobody give the fuck about some old quarterback, but an old actor can get a young actress a job just for blowing him.</p><p>Glory can go either way, but football has the opportunity for both personal and team glory, when acting is pretty much an individual thing. Plus, let's face it, sure, being an actor is sort of a gay job, even you have to "work out" for a role you have a personal trainer and you could be a super hero on the screen and a homo in real life. Plus you have to deal with crazy annoying people, whereas football is pretty cut and dry, either you are good or you're not, you get paid money, you don't have to worry about annoying or eclectic directors, producers, etc., "selling out" etc. I don't know, acting is an "easier" job I would say, especially because you don't usually run the risk of getting killed or paralyzed or not being able to walk when you are 50 (except of course if you are related to Bruce Lee) but football would be much more fun. Granted, when you are an actor you can do all sorts of drugs and drink and be crazy and you don't get "suspended" from acting. So that's cool. There are "cross-overs" like OJ Simpson and players can always be announcers and shit like that after they are done playing, but girls don't give a shit about the host of "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Gameday</span> Live" or else Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Berman</span> would have 10 illegitimate kids. So in the end, I would want to play football and have a nice run of women and glory (and I would be drunk a lot too, especially in the off-season). Acting is too much work and it could last forever. Plus the fucking paparazzi. I wish all the paparazzi would die horrible, awful deaths. They all blow.</p><p><strong>2. Brooke Burke is still fucking hot.</strong></p><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141001848338913506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWks6UQq8wAITGnZz1DZ2jHR78BG6rGe7TOxIPquummDh6XmP7Pi0_VKRdYZm-OEHwI_a5ObfjdP9qvzoGZXQiEJwG24jouX7Z1v3l9q98XDuyiUE1htpZ4v9ZiY2AgkdmgpEn0g/s400/abrook.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141001796799305938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwa_zOT8ZPa2NDS60rGqhwmnveRA3DnbOkhlFTVcUlihUPEXyID-nef5ldwOov04zh-wCq7aTw01aKHZsq_vgUUbSMy641fa74zaDsHF9w5kWx1qPX_U3NyXfK7BwOx_qxMoVtEg/s400/abrook2.jpg" border="0" />I don't know how old she is, maybe she is in her 30s, which is like 120 in model years, but damn she is hot. I forget what she is famous for, maybe being on E! I think, and obviously modeling. But she is definitely the type of girl an actor/producer dates. She would be good for the best years of a football player's career too. For example, Tony <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Romo</span>, Derek Anderson, Vince Young could probably bag Burke, but Chad Pennington wouldn't have a chance. He's probably kicking himself for not taking advantage of his starting status as far as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">poon</span>-tang goes.<br /><br /><strong>3. Did you know there is a third Manning child?</strong> His name is Cooper, and he is eldest of the three. He is the tallest in the photo below, and looks the goofiest. Peyton has a smug look on his face, and Eli, well, he looks cute to be honest (besides his awful clothes).<br /><p></p><p></p><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141000688697743538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSUiZt2FExpL9LkPl69BvjYGl0HWZL85YNhV-7rcpkYkZDFSyuJ6WLOjJJlXcYo6Tw9msiGT22BDRVyT83rBLoKiyP7JC3zpXLnBzMt4_2DGw4kb_jIQH8_medT0PGCtnLxcB2Q/s400/aeli2.jpg" border="0" /><br />Cooper was an All-State <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">WR</span> and played on the same HS football team as Peyton, who was the QB. Of course, Cooper had 76 catches for over 12<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">oo</span> yards that year. Before he went to college he started having numbness in his hand and fingers and eventually he was diagnosed with spinal <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">stenosis</span>, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal. Basically, he had to get surgery, could never play football again and had to relearn how to walk. I think this story is interesting because was Archie Manning that fucking good at football? I mean, Christ, he was before my time but he almost got all of his sons to the NFL. Cooper is fine by the way, he makes money and lives in New Orleans with his wife and kids and blah blah blah. I have to be honest, I would have enjoyed seeing Peyton throw passes to his brother. That would have been a good story. Maybe the talent gene in the Manning family decreases with each child. Maybe Cooper was the best, Peyton is great, and Eli is like Danny <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">DeVito</span> in the "Twins" movie.<br /><br />Speaking of Eli, rumor has it he screams like a girl when he is about to get sacked and every week he has to request new pants as his are stained with defecation from when is about to be hit. That's just a rumor I heard, it may or may not be true.<br /><br /><p><strong></strong></p><strong>4.

This blows. They cost around 4-5 grand. The worst part is, if the "heat exchanger" cracks then carbon monoxide will poison my house and kill everyone inside. Yes, we have a CM alarm, but my family's life is going to depend on a fucking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Duracel</span> battery? It's a scary thought. I don't care about me, but I don't want anything happening to the rest of my family or my dog (Cat I could give or take). Fucking carbon monoxide. Bullshit. <div></div><div><strong>4. On a serious note, another <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">jerkoff</span> stupid loser went on a shooting spree in Nebraska.</strong> This drives me so nuts I can't even take it. He wanted to "go out in style" and be "famous" according to news reports. Honestly, if I was related to one of the victims, I would sue NBC and the rest of the media outlets for making that stupid zip who shot up Virgina Tech famous by airing his "manifesto" last year. These crazy losers who can't get laid get guns and kill people, then they are proclaimed as the anti-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Christ</span> and any <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">myspace</span>, video, diary, etc. they write/shoot becomes their legacy and if you watch the news it is shoved down your throat and analyzed by experts and blah blah blah. It only enables the next stupid cunt to pick up his gun and "go out in style." SO I say sue the major networks for intentional infliction of emotional distress, something, just put it out there so maybe networks won't be so quick to make these <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">psychos</span>' "fame" last one second longer than after the bullet they shoot to kill themselves penetrates their skull. (Pussies, all of them, by the way). Who cares if it gets dismissed, they will have to pay lawyers to defend themselves and maybe something good will come out of it. I'm fucking serious about this. It has to stop. </div><div></div><div>Plus, as I've said before, can anyone learn something from Flight 93 during 9-11? Fight fucking back! Nobody wants to confront these fucks, who as long as they aren't shooting right at you aren't paying attention to one or two people. Use anything as weapons to try to stop these lunatics so more people don't get killed. I know it is easier said than done, but there is no other option.</div><div></div><div>Finally, all these kids need is to get laid or some fucking alcohol. That would help these stupid, loser geeks to stop writing about Satan in their notebooks or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">myspace</span> pages and help them see that the world is a lot better than they think it is (at least until they get older and realize that it's not). Fuck their parents too, and their families. Asleep at the switch is an understatement.</div><div></div><div><strong>6. Finally, I hate Rolling Stone magazine.</strong> My subscription runs out in February, but I may cancel it earlier. It's so ultra-liberal I just can't take it anymore. I'm not even conservative, but it drives me nuts! Anything anti-Bush or anti-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">government</span> is awesome and the best. Movies, albums, artists all get great reviews if they are anti-Bush, pro-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">environment</span>, etc. I mean, RS actually believes Bush caused 9-11. They also blame the entire war on drugs on the Bushes, when not for nothing, it was well engaged by the time Bush Jr. took over, so why not blame it on Clinton as well? Democrats can do NO wrong according to RS! It's so one-sided it is a joke. In their "Signs of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">Apocalypse</span>" article they cite the number one "sign" that Imus is going back on the air. This means the world is going to end. I have a question, what happened to free speech? Imus (and I don't like the guy and what he said was dumb, joke or not) apologized and did everything humanly possible to make amends and he still got fired. Now he is back, big fucking deal, don't listen to him! What a joke.</div><div></div><div>On a side note, and I'm ending on this, is that I had a buddy who I used to work with named Pat Charles. That was his whole fucking name. I loved that guy's name. He used to work for RS. We lost touch after we stopped working at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Bennigan's</span> together. I saw him while I was working at another restaurant and he was out to eat with friends and he told me once that he would send me some shit from RS. Two weeks later, true to his word, he sent me a few issues and a RS hat, which I still have to this day. The guy was a gentleman and a scholar. Anyway, ever since then, I wanted to name my pet or kid "Pat Charles" for a girl, "Patricia Charles" but alas, my wife won't let me. Needless to say, I don't think he works for RS anymore, so fuck those fucking assholes, they can go shit in a hat.</div><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">GO JETS!!!!!!!</span></strong></div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Brian Kenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08488453392207875624noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-68672476482385993292007-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:47.113-05:00An Interview with Sam Garnes<div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVbyJKSw36Ac88O3XI_xMGz0OmcZOZ7-JIeHovXxZSxqLYEaRlPYDcGld2XmP-L4XNKD_JKzfWZvbLQn6KOSOfuQokQz-E85tXCda4ls10772sAs_vJWRXOSsu70VbeY2fLIl/s1600-h/sam5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140559717367337842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVbyJKSw36Ac88O3XI_xMGz0OmcZOZ7-JIeHovXxZSxqLYEaRlPYDcGld2XmP-L4XNKD_JKzfWZvbLQn6KOSOfuQokQz-E85tXCda4ls10772sAs_vJWRXOSsu70VbeY2fLIl/s400/sam5.jpg" border="0" /></a>Former NFL defensive back <a href="http://www.samgarnesfbc.com/">Sam Garnes </a>spent some time with me this week talking about something that he feels very strongly about; helping young athletes to be the best they can be.<br /><br /><div></div><div>The <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/careerstats?id=GAR333008">6’3, 225 lbs Garnes spent 7 years </a>in the NFL from 1997 to 2004. He was drafted by the <a href="http://www.giants.com/">Giants</a> in the fifth round and played with them for five years. He was a big part of their defense when they played in the <a href="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl">Superbowl</a> in 2000. Then he spent the remaining two years as a part of the <a href="http://www.newyorkjets.com/">Jets</a>, helping them to make the playoffs as well.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140559786086814594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZzXh8HcAfNCJMFDT_qG1zKHu6_AfuBU6IleLAinbzWD6eRqIOyCO20g07o4yt-7hlmJx1cD4yZmACqpKDyv4CX90dOlgMnJR05LoKQ-sYx-hGUsZWTf_NDTtmyuX_-_pmDJPa/s400/sam4.jpg" border="0" /> <div>Within a few minutes of talking to Garnes, I realized that football was not something that he just fell into, but something he worked really hard at achieving. Garnes’ message he wants to get across to young athletes is that if they want to move to the next level they need to work for it.</div><div></div><br /><div>He said that many people he played with in high school were at the same talent level as him but didn’t have the right guidance to take it to the next level. “Our running back was Sheldon Cooper. He was definitely good enough to play in the NFL.”</div><div></div><br /><div>Currently Garnes spends a lot of his time running clinics, camps and one-on-one trainings to help players get to that next level. His approach is all about teaching fundamentals so athletes can improve their skills necessary to excel in football. His goal is to help the people like Cooper who with the right direction and coaching can make it to the next level. </div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140560000835179442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWHIaZfJf0UQLyHUvFaLJGgTmlsW6YHoYEQot-AG9_vTmUdfS_eoFMIsv2oeDgUS5nc4lgrZY9J-fgMcBK1S733AdidQS7QvIhweTYzc3UQZ9vUZtmDPoDU1X_P-M9G5O8cHy/s400/sam6.jpg" border="0" /> <div>Garnes would really like to see football have more resources dedicated to it in the tri-state area. “In Texas they play football year round. There are so many talented players in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. If there were more focus on developing these kids, this area would put out a lot of great players to colleges and pro's.”<br /></div><div>“There is so much money pumped into this area and they should really allocate more to sports for kids. In the city, kids either do battle on the streets or on the playing field.” Garnes said. “When the season ends, the kids go back to the streets.”</div><div></div><br /><div>Garnes works in partnership with <a href="http://www.primosports.net/">Primo Sports</a> in Florida, NY and <a href="http://www.golegends.com/legends/">Legends Resort & Country Club</a> Vernon, NJ to help youngsters learn skills from a real professional. His football academy is set up for youngsters from 9 to 14 years old. “We want to get them started young before high school because at that level the coaches bring them to football camps in the summer.” </div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140559936410669986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnprkfJF3J_xOXamlzFm2WXgnvGtLlHpmj8wJRnfRYyF2fYfJgUfkDYQ7Oo6-4e5_Z-woA4_ZUY5GiRwylaV_AKSiUe4Y4nPpAP11U_pBvAOeSM5Ozf6Wa0go2ctCLO4GYpme/s400/Sam.jpg" border="0" /> <div>Garnes also spends time doing private training lessons for many local high school atheletes who are serious about excelling. “Being a defensive back, you get to know about every position. I help quarterbacks with their three-step drops. I teach running how to run. We teach runningbacks how to run. We teach the right fundamentals so when they are on the field it just comes as an instint.”</div><br /><div></div><div>Earlier this year, he helped out with the Montclair High School football team, which ended up making it to the State Finals in Giants Stadium.</div><div></div><br /><div>When Garnes was in High School at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, he was a defensive back and a wide receiver. Then he was given a scholarship to go to the University of Cincinnati. “I considered myself a wide receiver. I thought I was going to be the next Al Toon or Jerry Rice. But in college they thought I would be better at defensive back.”</div><div></div><br /><div>Garnes attributes his attitude to his success on the field. “When I was in college, I had an edge that since I was from New York I was tougher than everyone. Not that that was necessarily true, but that was the motivation I used. Our coach said to use whatever motivation works for you, and that is what I did. I told myself that I was better than the kids from Texas and Florida, because I grew up in New York City.”<br /></div><div>On his vision to get to the NFL, Garnes said, “I knew I was good enough to play in the NFL. When I was in college my friends used to bust on me because I was so confident about getting to the NFL. It wasn’t a question of ‘NFL or bust’; it was ‘I am going to the NFL’. I didn’t matter, I was going to work as hard as possible and do whatever I needed to do to get to that level.”</div><br /><div></div><div>Once in the NFL, Garnes made the most of his opportunity. In his first game as a pro, he intercepted a pass and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown vs. the Eagles. “That moment let me know that I could play at this level.”</div><div></div><br /><div>He also discussed what it was like playing at the Superbowl. “I can’t even describe in words. It was just a dream come true. The two weeks before the whole country is just focused on the game you are about to play. It was really amazing to watch all those camera flashes coming from the stands during that first kickoff.”</div><br /><div></div><div>Garnes also talked about how he understands how deflating it was to lose that big game. “It was like you worked so hard and played at the highest level you possibly could to get there. I understand how difficult it is for teams to come back and do it again.”</div><br /><div></div><div>Garnes actually retired in 2003 after starting every year for the seven years he played. “I played a very emotional and physical type of game. My mind and passion were still there, but your body just cannot bounce back as easily when you get older. It was really hard to retire.”<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140559867691193234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZi1GPeo-dcaOWNPNSLnNScWoy931rjDmqdurTxI4V4ptxgZ_QBiDqSo6v4-Ew63hhoM3E-iLIf4vUIrfjICfiKG89XBY384znRF29Ay2nGKQnTg3K7tEu6k1JdPKkd61JSxn/s400/sam3.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Now Sam lives in New Jersey and is dedicated to using his experience to helping others.

As I have always said, I would take wins over playing for draft picks, I don't care if McFadden from ARK is available or not.<br /><br /><br /><div>The Jets kicked some major ass yesterday, beating the Dolphins 40-13! They had three sacks (one by our boy Harris) and three interceptions (one by Rhodes - awesome read; and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Revis</span>, the rookie can play) and scored 4 offensive <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TDs</span>. Who were these guys?<br /></div><br /><div>Let's start off with the man who inspires these bastards, LC. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Coles</span> played despite having an injury that would have kept most pussies out for two more weeks. </div><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139820264181077906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXggRcydu_Dutllr8MsoyqRGegCo8kl5fMZRLWn6ISqXAfG3a9qdx8uKUh0KBSr81BMIU1FLXtGNsXbTgirSp1WKO2hxjXvCVlp2UPU2hPGgrnIs3bMgEk7lixVyTkzengrKlm8Q/s400/jets33.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><br /><br /><p>He had 5 catches for 69 yards, including a great 32 yard catch on a well thrown ball by Roger Clemens. Speaking of Clemens, the kid wasn't too shabby, going 15-24 for 236 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Granted, it's only the Dolphins, but it should give him some confidence going into a game next week (Cleveland) that is winnable.</p>The defense played great (Rhodes with his 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> INT) and showed some signs of life, thank God. My man Jonathan Vilma was on the sideline on crutches watching the team, which is good news for me, because maybe it means that he doesn't want to go anywhere next year. There has to be room for both him and Harris, and the defense would be much better with both of them on the field.<br /><p>Finally, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Jonesey</span> finally FUCKING SCORED A TOUCHDOWN! I even started him on my fantasy football team because I had a feeling this would be the week. He carried the ball 24 times for 75 yards and a score. Thank Fucking God.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139821436707149730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WBhnn8mzRiZtnr27cIgHb_RPpCgcRtYKDVrndE8bySSVRrKL6IHyCYabTk67EdIIcz8WXF2EkU_olTYE-fQDNaDqo1LYht0v-WYGl-bQNmIZNIvD_c0Y-JNUdeZTXess_qwqAg/s400/jets11.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>L Wash was great and a nice transition from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Jonesy</span>, running 10 times for 68 yards and two scores. I love that fucking guy. The best part about L Wash is that you can tell he loves to fucking play.</p><p>Ted <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Nugent</span> has been much better, making the 17<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">th</span> of his last 18 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">FGs</span>. But Ben Graham continued to be shitty, with two punts for less than 40 yards (1 26 yards and the other 35). Do we have to send this fuck back to Australia in a body bag? What the fuck? Maybe he should go back to that fucking island and play rugby with the rest of the convicts there. F him unless he punts better.</p><p>Other than that, as I Jets fan I cannot complain this week. Again, it was only the Dolphins, but still. </p><p>I would rather have the Jets win games then play for a fucking draft pick. I want to see them beat the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Cunty</span> Patriots in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Foxboro</span> and spoil their undefeated season. Of course, I know that is a pretty much a pipe dream. They will have to score 56 points to beat the Pats and sack Brady a bunch of times, and neither is likely to happen. But, I digress.</p><p>GO JETS!</p><p><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">OTHER, MORE INTERESTING STUFF...</span></strong></p><p><strong>1. The Giants -</strong> I don't think I need to rip into Eli Manning, the press in NY is doing a good enough job of that. But in the end, the guy woke up from his suck-induced coma and engineered a drive down the field at Soldier Field to win the game. I don't know why his head was so far up his ass the first 3 quarters but I can't fault the guy too much because he won the game on that last drive. Although, if it weren't for the Giants defense and Rex <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Grossman</span> (in general) then the G-Men aren't even in that game. So, a victory is a victory for you Giants' fans, but the question remains, what is up with dude Eli? Is it because his name is so gay? Is he retarded? Sometimes I think he is, which is great for retarded people, because it shows you can be a QB in the NFL. He looks a little retarded, a little slow. I will call him "special" either way. </p><p><strong>2. The Redskins -</strong> after the tragic loss of Sean Taylor they started the game on defense with 10 guys. I don't know whose idea that was, but it was fucking brilliant. Honestly, shit like that is why I like sports, the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">camaraderie</span>, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">teamsmanship</span> (is that a word), the whole fox-hole mentality, I fucking love it. I love team sports and I feel bad for Taylor's family (although his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">stinkbox</span> half-sister has some sort of link to the alleged <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">perps</span>, so F her). Of course, the 'Skins shit the bed and lost the game, which is a pretty lame send-off to ST, but what can you do. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Unfortunately</span>, dead players don't always spurn victories. (Although it did for Newark West Side, who won their state championship 20-0 (interestingly, the deceased player's number was 20). If it definitely helped teams win, I would kill Andre Dyson on the Jets, because it would improve the team and maybe help inspire them. Basically, it would be a win-win even if the Jets didn't win.</p><p><strong>3. The word "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Stinkbox</span>" is probably one of the best made-up words ever.</strong> Or it at least holds a place in the top 5 if there is such a list. It is probably as offensive as the word "Cunt" but it doesn't pack such a punch, so you could try to get away with it every once and a while. I didn't make the word up, my buddy did, and he is like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Stiffler</span> from American Pie, so you can see how he could come up with such an awesome word. It is one of the many reasons why I look up to him.</p><p>Regardless, if you want to use the word to insult a girl without actually calling her an "SB" (another great way to mask the word, just call a girl an "SB", and they won't know what to do), ask her if she got her minor in "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Stinkboxology</span>" in college. That always gets them angry, but not as angry as if you actually called them a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">stinkbox</span>.</p><p><strong>4. It's almost Christmas, that means people want donations.</strong> A couple of days before Thanksgiving, I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Wal</span>-Mart and the fucking Salvation Army dude was there ringing his fucking bell. Well, I put a DOLLAR in his stupid bucket (which isn't a bucket anymore, it's a hanging plastic container with an opening the size of the a nun's twat) and the fucking stupid fuck of a "Santa" was shooting the shit with some other hillbilly and didn't see me put the dollar in. Feeling like Costanza, I actually stood by the container for about 7 seconds afterword with my hand near the opening so the "Santa" would see me and acknowledge me. However, the stupid shithead was talking to Bobby Joe or whatever the fuck the other guy's name was about probably fucking their sisters or the sale on Dale <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Earnheart</span> stickers for their pickups and he never turned around. I went in and bought whatever it is I needed at that awful cheap store and came out and the fucking Santa was there and of course I had to pass him, and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" and looked right at me, I said "You too" and walked by without putting anything in the red twat. Then, shithead that I am, I forget to pick something up while in the store, so while I was there, I decided to go back in and get the item (I think it was a shower curtain or something). So I walked in past "Santa' again and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" again to me, so I said "Happy Thanksgiving" to him, without paying heed to the ringing bell or stupid fucking donation bucket. When I left I had to pass him again and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" again. I just shook my head at the guy and refused to put more money in his tight <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">stinkbox</span>. Either he was being a complete jerkoff and busting my balls, or maybe he was just a drunk stupid fuck who actually didn't remember saying Happy Thanksgiving to me 3 times. </p><p>The point of this story is that there is no point donating money if nobody sees you do it. Just fucking forget it. You know what that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">jerkoff</span> Santa thinks of me? He thinks I am some cheap asshole in a suit who doesn't care about the Salvation Army. He probably thinks I am a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">jew</span> too. Well, he is right about one thing, I don't give a flying fuck about the Salvation Army, but I ain't Jewish, and I do want people to think I give a shit, especially during the holidays, so I will give a few dollars here and there so as to avoid the appearance of being cheap and/or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">jewish</span>.

So moving right along, what is with all this losing? If there is a football game, the Jets will make sure they lose it. I mean lets face it folks, this is worse than the Rich Kotite era. <br /><br />And last year I started out not liking Eric Mangini. Then by the end of the year I thought he was a little genius. Now I am back to hating him again. I just don't get him. He has no emotion. Just like Eli Manning. If you lose, act like you are pissed. When you show no emotion you scare everyone.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRk8lcF_ubvE6gzOeyIE7ykFC0GikR9Eixql2XeKSWLhdfGDswZVJCaF4ixSZ9FNB8RRA8gUq5SugxBK_pmPlikaYrW03AFu4L604-FhvfK611mIOghwXv0gy_aWdMCVMH4Wbr/s1600-r/david+harris+lb.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138447288966176050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5CoVh30xUU5Vbi-ZKUkBCk0evNKyqoEz9I2TwYe1WWjLoXzcgf99q1oDTDHz2l5SVKeB1V3JpAJOWWO1UwM4eXNIiLUmJqMD8c1er1DzrAbNwopMa7NMA1tpRrs0Q_4mM9HG/s400/david+harris+lb.jpg" border="0" /></a> The only bright spot is David Harris. This guy is one bad motherf*cker. He is all over the ball. Between him and Vilma, we are stacked for the next 5 years. But they are going to trade Vilma his year for no reason except the fact that we are the Jets and we haven't done anything completely retarded in awhile. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU15kHUyAWWOQVMhziHlr4mlkwpL4BPZh094vjpZcQ-o3R5nDpZCAlEiN3FXBRN1wKyXODmBC8lqHwu3RNAjWSfGWgXkbO5ZDjiBwuRsOHeZEMNdVlhL9q7_YG14GU5FIgthga/s1600-r/bsmith2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138447190181928226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIn1B4viv1dBo764_QxdRpueXVuVy_TD1XHbBmMn9sa1-uHLvEmx0wmchtb3L32XJhlxViRgsglPB4RsjlT-ETD-sko39mmldazKgXavlG3EgsKI2rB3kDOhsnYdtiLMQgXT0x/s400/bsmith2.jpg" border="0" /></a> As for Brad Smith...in my opinion this guys should be the quarterback. I think he is a total spazz but something about him I like. He seems to have the smarts to be in the right spots. He just drops too many balls. But I say, let him be the QB for the rest of the season and see what he can do.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38lG6LwN1qBE_4leoEbDlyh8aOgbL-I-dAXB294dEfie1YZi-uHnU681o3hV31mH1nH8z_CbAp7YM5_YA49K9Z2U4Uf1ZgzdAkljRlCtlFTy3kwghr-aoB8VHvvlxqTVupr28/s1600-r/sea.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138447035563105554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunoNlWoi3HMYgDGSSjemIB3Kispdmu7fn7bgBnuyCA5I1ohHWQC5sQ2rLWoZ5fhCOFK4vhIm0gzjeaHexE8VqeU-ddAbZeRTIEESHO8pl1GvTsKOrHUBZ8f9ErZ4r3ofHk22B/s400/sea.jpg" border="0" /></a>I like what the players are saying about Sean Taylor. He was a great player. But these young players get hooked up with these idiot hanger ons who cannot do anything with their lives except mooch off people like Taylor. This even makes me feel bad for Michael Vick because it reminds me of these jerkoffs that only care about mooching. Although, I still think Vick is a complete dick.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJn1e-uU0wmcA9s0Gi14S9zElB1vXU9zO10uPz6EieIfBEXn58ZdQ5ZoTvpRhetk8OhZyW_v9p-4H4GSoEgVEO3gb5M9w-CjU-Uc1Z1BFvlL1bntyGUujUteeeQWO4KFreUYW/s1600-r/guy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138446945368792322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0ijXBF1-z-FECx-mwFicJPfG_ZVbPcNtXU6B1heVEDfuNs_IJdhJEbGK71dpkoArBz6gLG84jY0akoaTDO9U7-nBI2l2J8hcKS7gKRcTF01lwW4i9J7l7JZFFTetrj-2Ti7E/s400/guy.jpg" border="0" /></a> I am not sure what to say about Roger Clemmens except, you better start fucking winninng. But the way, I never used to swear on this blog. But Fakehead just brings it out in me. And it actually is very theraputic when taking about the Jets. At any rate, I am so sick of losing. I actually want to throw my Pennington jersey in the garbage.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKxh1Wl1dzw1PWcf5xQGNnTX3V6sWDfknKYU157d6nSPJGlVaPUkYW5Oap3mLFfJx_xzuj5x3RNZ5Pz3Z3QerR7Mq3P4Z2ZtSfBTfdKuOwD6_bf4SZ2phj-xbSRuvbvh3hCub/s1600-r/bench.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138446846584544498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjscyifGVYN_GSwdcGxCIvDPryW-u6YV_ij-mU97oh7pXseiSBiOgbfMHoL5eqqcF3YAfiWvo3LhvBB4IgKMqIq9Jf8C00D3cDzwqpDCDqh1yGLYFPTbBSvJBbgWKMlnZQkrT61/s400/bench.jpg" border="0" /></a> Chad thinks he is a starter in the league. I am not sure if he is or not. I think his mind and body are. But his arm is very suspect. Just looking at Chad completely disheartens me. Because he was supposed to be our salvation. But of course he spends his whole time here injured. </div><div> </div><div>And finally, if it were not for Fantasy Football I wouldn't even watch the NFL. Actually Fakehead got me into this league with all his lawyer buddies and I am kicking ass. I have won 7 games in a row and I already clinched a playoff spot. I have TO and Randy Moss as my receivers. Romo is my QB. I don't even need anyone else on the team. I don't see myself losing any more games.</div><div> </div><div>At any rate, I guess this was not as random as I thought.</div><div> </div><div>Trivia Question: Who is Fakehead's favorite character in the feature film "Two Girls, One Cup"?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="powered-by"><a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif" alt="Powered by Blogger" /></a></p></div>Arnie Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11247830173339014335noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33587574.post-10097779942638255492007-11-26T11:41:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:27:50.585-05:00Jets Shit the Bed Again and other stuff....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_OH4eBqg0vxQwFSdZ8l0gr1WavkqDuvNlU-atOQviXIxXSEFBayoZpTKXfatmjS_c4wfubEs4HYN_hu4XvEAbPJpqPsMvVBIcjsv1Rtp53C0deStUKnwwEBSNOAAMxx-U9gfJkw/s1600-h/TO.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137191336980518834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_OH4eBqg0vxQwFSdZ8l0gr1WavkqDuvNlU-atOQviXIxXSEFBayoZpTKXfatmjS_c4wfubEs4HYN_hu4XvEAbPJpqPsMvVBIcjsv1Rtp53C0deStUKnwwEBSNOAAMxx-U9gfJkw/s400/TO.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div>Wow, it wasn't even close. 34 to fucking 3? 3 fucking points? Kellen was shit, 12 for 27 for 142 yards with an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">interception</span> and really never got anything going offensively. The one thing I thought he did that was pretty cool was when he was trying to avoid a sack he got a pass with his left hand to throw the ball away (he is right handed). That was pretty impressive. He did get sacked 3 times and basically rushed a little too much for him to deal with. I don't know about Clemens yet, he needs to beat Miami or the Jets may have to waste another pick on a QB next year. (Although I think they should go with the kid from Arkansas, McFadden, if he is still around).<br /><br />Regardless, the battle of the Jones' brothers was somewhat anti-climatic, with Dallas's Julius Jones rushing for 64 yards on 14 carries (26 yards receiving as well) and our boy Thomas Jones only having 40 yards on 17 carries. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TJ</span> has STILL not scored a touchdown and the Jets have played 12 fucking games. How is this even possible? (Yet I still have him on my FF roster).<br /><br />The only bright spots were that Kerry Rhodes made a nice INT and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Revis</span> played pretty well (minus the one play) on TO. TO didn't know who <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Revis</span> was, which was a dis but TO is TO, so the statement itself doesn't <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">suprise</span> me. After the game <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Revis</span> spoke to TO and said the conversation went "well." Next time they play <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Revis</span> is going to be at the point where TO is going to know he his when <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Revis</span> gives TO a fucking concussion.<br /><br />Regardless, I thought the 'Boys were going to spank the Jets and I was right. But deep down I thought they would put up a little bit of a fight, which they did for the first quarter or so. But you know its bad when your coach challenges a spot on a third-down play, hoping to trim a yard or two off fourth and three. (The challenge was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">unsuccessful</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">by</span> the way). The second half was a complete disaster, as the Jets didn't get a first down until there were 5 minutes 19 seconds left in the game. Awful.<br /><br />All I can say is that the Miami Dolphins are frothing at the mouth hoping they avoid a "defeated" season when they play the Jets next week. Show us something Clemens!<br /><br />Go Jets!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;"><em><strong>OTHER STUFF....</strong></em></span><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong><br /><em><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span></em><br /><strong>1. Did you guys know the Jets Cheerleaders are called "The Flight Crew".</strong> They are sort of hot, but it is hard to tell from this photo.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137198861763221442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9XGUX00ih6UEexm-yB8pKnci3UMncQlb2Avxe3rP5sd0B_Di4um_tMkASiZKJvEtFcrl0SPs1SbcGOYK9BhvEiUkG9_6Razz6983CQ4tyZ8RuQe9V0a9xRyMGqN7ahyckiX3Yw/s400/flight+crew.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>Maybe we should blame them for the Jets sucking so bad. I think during home games you can get a photo with them in the Bubble. At least before the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Steelers</span> game people could, and I have to tell you, there were more fucking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Steelers</span> fans than Jets fans getting pictures. Fucking ridiculous. I'm so glad the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Steelers</span> lost, but what the fuck? It's no wonder the fans were waving their gay "Terrible Towels" during that game, there were thousands of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Steeler</span> fans at the game. Shame on those Jets fans who sold their tickets to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Steelers</span> fans.</p><p>Anyway, I think the Cowboys cheerleaders could kick the Flight Crew's ass in a "Hot Piece of Ass" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">matchup</span> as well. Here's one of them:</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137201563297650642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9x9CT4pYz6vmU7j7nsxoUa4rPVvpJ3HqCItCrRnm3Y-oxm0vYBVRPNWBpphCINSgiEu5_j7F6__tBkmcHd3TjHrlHTGRqhKD_LXraP5YKn9KPlfdm9cyQlDx4m5NCTNQ2IK3_MQ/s400/cheer.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>She is pretty easy on the eyes. However, it should be noted that the Cowboys' Cheerleaders have been doing this for a while and are pretty much the New England Patriots of NFL Cheerleaders. </p><p><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Anyhoo</span>, back to business...<br /></p><br /><br /><br /><strong>2. Eli Manning is awful.</strong><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137202040039020514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Dz2wywN-BA6IQ4GphP3TIC72edwj6988ajzSbFMMkp1txHU_SZSLkmsT38q4zVkgO-hENbZS1c4o0StXSlLtpczFmzRM4kGVQlSOR_OInHnKXo5_vc7oj9KnPqd8kw4Zfv7U3Q/s400/eli.jpg" border="0" />Honestly, he should have just stayed on the ground and starting crying. They should have carted him off the field for being a pussy lame-ass loser. How about these stats: 21 for 49 for 273 yards with 1 TD and 4 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">INTs</span>, with three of those <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">INTs</span> run back for Minnesota <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">TDs</span>! Granted, it's not completely Eli's fault that 3 of his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">INTs</span> were run back for scores, but it is pretty fucking pathetic.<br /><br />This is a game the G-Men should have won, and they completely shit the bed. And they got slaughtered too, 41-17. (I wish I had <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">MN's</span> Defense on my FF team). It was just a disaster across the board. They have 8 million running backs, and all the good ones were hurt. Fucking Eli can't win a game if his life depended on it, their defense let <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Tavaris</span> Jackson beat them (10 of 12 for 129 yards and a TD and 38 yards rushing on 5 carries) and did I forget to mention that the Vikings were 4-6 coming into the game? How can the Giants beat the Lions one week and look like a fucking Pop Warner team the next week?<br /><br />Eli continues to disappoint, and I know Figs is going to defend him (again) but come on!!!! Eli's no Peyton, and he is not even close to catching up to his big brother. Speaking of Peyton, I like that guy more and more. He's a funny mother fucker with all those commercials, and he won his ring, so he can just chill out now.<br /><br />Anyway, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">GMen</span> better step up against the Bears next week. I think they will most likely make the playoffs, but don't expect them to make it past the first round. (That being said, it is a hell of a lot better than the Jets are going to do, fucking Jets).<br /><br /><strong>3. The fucking Pats won again.</strong> I didn't think the Eagles were going to make a game of it, but they did, with JO <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Feeley</span> no less. If the Eagles had a good quarterback maybe they would have won. Fucking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">AJ</span> just wanted to throw the ball to the Patriots last night, that stupid fuck. Fucking Tom Brady. I hope teams learned something last night and blitz the shit out of Brady and then maybe somebody will beat those fucks.<br /><br /><strong>4. You who else blows, Keith <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Oberman</span>.</strong> This <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">jerkoff</span> has his "Worst Person in the NFL" and I'm assuming he has the same stick on his "Countdown" show, and yesterday he blasted the K for Denver for kicking to Devin Hester. Maybe <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Oberman's</span> right, but where does he come off saying somebody the "worst" in anything? This fucking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">jerkoff</span> used to be on "Sports Center" and now he considers himself a real "journalist". Hey Keith, a real journalist writes articles for newspapers like the NY Times or the Washington Post, you fucking sit on a panel with Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Collinsworth</span> and talk about football once a week. Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">Collinsworth</span> is one of the biggest tools in this world. I rank <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Collinsworth</span> in the top 5 tools of the world, and that includes the leaders of Iran, North Korea and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Venezuela</span>. He is right up there. My ranking may go something like this:<br /><br />1. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Osoma</span> Bin Laden<br />2. Leader of North Korea<br />3. Leader of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Venezuela</span><br />4. Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Collinsworth</span><br />5. Leader of Iran<br /><br />Regardless, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">Oberman</span> neglected the fact that there are 11 people on the field during a kick and everyone has the same job, tackling the fucking guy with the football. The guy with the least responsibility is the kicker, because he is the pussy of the group.<br /><br /><strong>5. We played our annual Thanksgiving Football game and it was a lot of fun.</strong> We ended up playing against a bunch of in-shape younger guys who didn't have cleats, so we managed to beat them for a while until they just used their best player to run for a TD every time he touched the ball. The fucker was impossible to tackle. They ended up winning 13 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">TDs</span> to 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">TDs</span> or something. I am still sore.<br /><br />Regardless, Unruly threw the football like a champion, hitting almost all of his targets and not throwing any interceptions. It was the best I have seen him throw in years, and even though two years ago many in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">MFL</span> were calling for his retirement at the QB position, he stuck it out like Brett <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Farve</span> and he proved the critics wrong just like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">Farve</span> did. Way to go Unruly. I hope you bring it Christmas time when you are battling Figs. (We better fucking play). By the way, I can honestly say that the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44">Mendham</span> field BLEW and that we are going to have to move the game back to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45">Florham</span> Park where it is level and straight. We'll discuss that at another time, but I see a good game on Christmas Eve morning developing, me, Unruly, Figs, the cousins and nephews, Rupert, the Jew, McMahon, etc.<br /><br /><strong>FINALLY, GO JETS!
