Weekend Wrap-Up

I just got finished watching the Chicago-Green Bay game. Damn I am happy that the NFL is back. Waking up in the morning, getting your bagel and coffee, with the Sunday newspapers, (Yes, I still read stories print on paper with ink. I still live in the stone-age, and I love it.), waiting in anticipitation of the Pre-Game shows. Seriously, does all these Pre-Game shows needs 5+ people at the studio desk? With another 5-10 reporters in studio/on the sidelines of the games showing their faces as well. It is overkill people, especially by ESPN. There is no need to have that many in-studio. Just finally tell the Godfather of ESPN, Chris Berman, and his sidekick Tom Jackson that it is time to retire.

Back to the Chicago-Green Bay game. Was it just me, or did Jay Cutler look an awfully like Kyle Orton, or perhaps even worse, Rex Grossman? I saw Cutler throw into triple coverage about 5 times off the top of my head. Hey Jay, you do not have Brandon Marshall anymore that can outjump everyone. Time to learn how to play the QB position.

By the way, that game winning touchdown by Greg Jennings and Aaron Rodgers? To quote the best sports analyst in the world, Bill Rafftery, that playcall took "Onions!!!". 3rd and 1 with less than two minutes left, and you pull the change up on the Bears and hit the bomb. Way to be gutsy.

Speaking of onions, how about the Redskins? Down 17-0 at Giants Stadium, just before halftime, the Skins line up for a chip shot FG, and they pull a successful fake, and put 6 on the board instead, when their Punter ran it in. Thats not just "Onions", thats a "Double Order!".

If this is how the Jets plan to play all season, they are going to be dangerous. That defense was more intimidating than realizing you are about to get into a barfight with Kimbo Slice. The defense smothered a very good Texans offense, especially Andre Johnson, who needed to call a locksmith after the game to pry CB Darrelle Revis off of him.

New York's new Prince, Mark Sanchez looked pretty good yesterday, pret-ty, pret-ty good. Who said a rookie starting QB needs time to learn?


Well, if you watched the track meet that was the Saints-Lions game, the 40 Million Dollar Man, Matthew Stafford looked like a deer in the headlights, tossing up 3 freebies. Hey Stafford, wait until you have a real defense. You're in trouble! At least Stafford was not the worst QB of the day...

That would be Carolina's Jake Delhomme, who seems like he went colorblind or something along those lines. Jake, you do realize that you throw the ball to the guys that wear the same uniform you do right??

Great win by San Francisco going into Arizona and getting the job done. Yes, I want to pat my own back, awesome call on the upset here!

Memo to Michael Crabtree. This team does not need you. You need them much more. They are the ones that will make you a millionare. The 49ers will make you more money in endorsements deals of basically being the next Jerry Rice. You need them, because if you are that big of a moron, you will become Mike Williams.

Remember Mike Williams? He was the last great college football WR, that was tall, fast, and physical at USC. He did not play for a whole year and what happened? He got lazy, gained weight, lost a step or two, dropped from being an automatic top 3 pick, to #10. I believe he is out of the league now. Put the ink on the paper Crabtree.

In tonights two games, I will not even waste both of our times trying to analyze them. The Pats and Chargers are going to bury the Bills and Raiders. Both games will be like the 1992 Dream Team playing against a CYO 7th Grade team from Syosset, Long Island. Lights out. Pats 44, Bills 13 and Chargers 38, Raiders 10.

Now, onto a few non-football things:

When the hell did Pedro Martinez start hitting 92 mph again, let alone in the 7th inning? It is amazing what the chemicals will do for you huh...

I do not want to hear another person preach to me that anyone, other than Zach Greinke or Felix Hernandez can win the AL CY Award. No, Justin Verlander cannot, neither could CC Sabathia. I also do not want to hear another Yankee fan mention that Mariano Rivera should win it, because there is no clear winner and it would be like a lifetime achievement thing. The two guys I mention have ERA's over a run lower than 97% of the pitchers. It is one of them, otherwise we know that the voting is more rigged than a Trotter's horse race.

I really thought I would be smashing Serena Williams to death after the stunt she pulled the other night at the US Open, but then what Kayne West pulled took the cake.

What Kayne West did was classless. If he really had a problem with the outcome of a certain award, all he had to do was wait until after the show, and announce to the hundreds of media whores that hound every single any celebrity spews out of their mouths, and he would've been just some guy voicing his opinion. What you did was ruin a young girl's moment in the sun.

Kayne West just showed his true colors, and that is that he is a classless thug. Sick thing is, no one is loving this more than Jay Leno, since he has Kayne on his opening night.



Let me make this clear though Serena. You are not off the hook for threatening a judge, then lying that you did not, when hundreds in the stands heard you with no problems whatsoever. Serena should be suspended, because that slap on the wrist 10k fine was babyfood. Worst part about this, Serena could not acknowledge that she was at fault at all, and had to downplay losing to Kim Clisters. Just suck it up and admit that you got your ass whooped by a housewife on the comeback trail.
