The Full Weekend Wrap-Up

I just got finished watching the Monday Night Football game, and all season long I was wondering what would make Ron Jaworwski and Jon Gruden to get their tongues out of the two teams openings.

The answer was the Cleveland Browns.

Brady Quinn in the pocket shakes as much as a heroin addict in detox, Jamal Lewis hits the hole slower than McLovin without alcohol, and their WR's could not run a paper route, let alone a receiving route.

I cannot even praise the Ravens, they basically won by default. They could not even score on this defense, while not completely inept like the Browns offense, is still ranked in the lower half of the NFL.

Eric Mangini is yelling at his Defensive Coordinator, Rob Ryan on the sidelines. Rob Ryan's defense was the only thing that was respectable on the field for the Browns last night with the exception of a fanbase that is as loyal as a bloodhound. I was waiting for Ryan to deck Mangini on the sidelines.

It would of been the most progress this franchise has made in 18 months.


Roy Williams of the Cowboys cried like another certain WR that was in Dallas last season about getting the ball thrown at him. Williams's cries were answered, as Tony Romo lately has been throwing in his direction more often than Miles Austin.

Hey. Roy? You cried and got your way, and now you are dropping passes with alligator arms and fumbling balls left and right. Be happy, you are NOT a star, but at least you are being paid like one.

I do not want to hear one more New York Jets player talking trash in the media anymore. Enough is enough, you are 4-5 and not making the playoffs. This includes Head Coach Rex Ryan, who is talking like he has even been to the AFC Championship Game already. The two that really need to shut up though are Bart Scott and Kerry Rhodes.

Scott, who is a great defender, has to realize that all he is now doing is giving the opposing team's bulletin board material and making an ass out of himself in the media. Scott is nowhere near close to the worst in this.

That would be Rhodes, who has never even played in a Pro Bowl (Granted, he did get ripped off one year in 2006), has not played remotely close to a Pro Bowl caliber player in two years, and has gotten burnt like toast all 2009 season long. Rhodes does not have an interception, but he was suppose to be the Ed Reed in this Rex Ryan defense. Kerry, it is time to stop messing with Twitter non-stop, and start actually playing like a solid NFL starter, forget about being a star.

I had no problem with the infamous call heard round the world now. Who am I to judge a Head Coach that has won 3 Super Bowls? I can though rip both Bill Belichick and Tom Brady for burning two timeouts so poorly. Besides, I have heard enough of this between, ESPN, CNNSI, WFAN, etc, etc. with all the experts and former players playing Armchair Quarterback. Belichick is the only one that had the minerals to make that call. Let's leave it at that.

I now have a Man-Crush on Bud Adams. He did exactly what all fans do to the opposing fans. We abused them. I remember being in Foxboro for the Jets-Pats Wild Card Game a few years back, wearing my green Jets jeresy, flipping off all the drunken stupor Pats fans when Jerricho Cotchery scored on a 75 TD pass from Chad Pennington. I get it Bud, you wanted a change of QB, you were the laughing stock of the league, and now, you are the one laughing because you were right. Unfortunatley, Roger Goodell does not have a sense of humor. Speaking of...

Bud Adams gets 250 large for flipping double barrel birds, Chad Ochocinco gets 20 large for a joke, but Tom Cable still has a job? Hypocrite.

And in the sense of tough guy coaches, I give it 8 more games, give or take 2 games, that a player completely coldcocks him right in his grill. I am sorry Todd, but you are getting too close to player's faces in a verbal assault. I still think if it were not the NFC Title Game, Anquan Boldin would of sent you into Mid-March.

Chris Johnson is a freak...enough said.



If Ole Miss fed Dexter Mccluster the ball like they have been doing the past few games, Mccluster runs away with the Heisman and the Rebels are playing Florida on December 5th.

TCU can play with the big boys. They just pulverized Utah, who is a top 20 team in terms of talent. Jerry Hughes is a Dwight Freeney clone, and this offense has speed and can score. I feel bad for the Bama-Florida loser. They will most likely play TCU, and get beat by at least 10.

I told you in my College Football Preview that USC would not win the Pac 10. I told you that they had to replace too many starters and that they were not winning anything with a Freshmen QB.

I did not expect them to be a complete sieve on defense though. This is Pete Carroll's worst team in years, and teams can making Carroll know it. Everyone see Stanford go for a 2 point conversion up 48-21? Smack the kingdom while it is down. I love it.

Remember though Stanford fans, USC will be back next year, so do not cry in the upcoming years that Pete Carroll and Matt Barkley ran up the score on your Cardinal. Cry that the Head Coach that put you in this situation, took the Michigan job!

It was nice knowing you Charlie Weis, sorry that you did not win, but please, leave with these parting gifts ($-$-$).

I have killed the SEC officals, so I have to be fair, good job Big East by protecting your jewels. Both calls in the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh games were a joke. Unreal what people and Conferences will do for millions and millions of dollars.



Lebron James said that next season, he will switch his number from 23 to 6 in respect to Michael Jordan. When you first look at that, it seems like a genuine respectful thing, until I realized two things.

1. No one in the right mind would respect Michael Jordan nowadays. He is literally the most abrasive person on the planet.

2. How much money will Lebron James make off the new #6 Cleveland Cavs jeresy?

It is all marketing...

Knick fans jumped off the Williamsburgh Bridge the other night when Bucks PG Brandon Jennings put up 55 points. What has your 1st round pick done so far? Seat warmer? Does the laundry? Is Jordan Hill in the Practice and Shoot-A-Round Hall of Fame? Karma just keeps on throwing dirt on poor Knick fans.

Quick Thursday Night Football Prediction:

I will not be here for the rest of the week, so I will hand in my Panthers-Dolphins score.

No Ronnie Brown. The Panthers defense is playing good, and Jake Delhomme remembered what team he has played for. We even saw Steve Smith sighting.

Carolina Panthers 24, Miami Dolphins 19

NFL Week 2

Week 1 in the NFL had alot of cupcake matchups, hence the reason we went 13-2 on the predictions, only missing on the Texans getting whored out in their own building by the newly crowned "Sanchise" and the Jets, and because of that miracle grab for Denver that made Gus Johnson have a 6.3 Richter Scale like orgasm.

Week 2 is a bit different, with several prime time matchups and a bare mininum on the blowout specials, this week's action will be as fat as Floyd Mayweather at his weigh-in.

Atlanta Falcons 27, Carolina Panthers 17 - As much as Jake Delhomme got a case of amnesia and melted down last week, what stood out to me more was how Matt Ryan effciently carved up a pretty good Dolphin defense through the air. Ryan has a good game, Delhomme helps out with a Lotto Pick 6. Steve Smith may decide to deck teammate #3 by the end of this game.

Buffalo Bills 20, Tampa Bay Bucs 13 - TO can take the pacifier out of his mouth now, the Bucs pass defense was a launching pad last week. Owens and Evans will have a field day. I just hope Trent Edwards has the arm strength for this game.

Minnesota Vikings 34, Detroit Lions 14 - CNNSI.com's Peter King must of smoked the same weed Stewart Mandel did. Mandel picked Washington over USC, and now King is picking the Lions in this, which would basically eliminate 2/3rds of all Survivor Pool entries in America. No way, no how. Adrian Peterson goes Bo Jackson/Tecmo Bowl nuts this week.

Green Bay 23, Cincinnati Bengals 16 - This game will be closer than most realize. The orange cats can play some defense, that miracle catch last week was just that, a miracle. They just cannot keep up with Rodgers and Jennings.

Tennessee Titans 23, Houston Texans 12 - Titans are pissed off after having the Steelers in their grasps. Got a long week off as well. Houston got embarrassed at home to the Jets. Actually an early important game for both. Titans just punch them in the mouth on the Lines.

Kansas City Chiefs 27, Oakland Raiders 23 - This pick is based on Matt Cassel being under center. I just think the Raider letdown from Monday Night will still linger. Dwayne Bowe and Mr. Nnamdi Asomugha will be a tough, physical battle on the line of scrimmage.

Jacksonville Jaguars 24, Arizona Cardinals 20 - Upset Special! Yes, we are going to pick on the Cardinals, and do you know why? The ancient law of West Coast team, playing on the East Coast, at a 1pm est. start. It was basically foolproof last season. Take the East Coast team at home until proven otherwise.

Washington Redskins 23, St. Louis Rams 3 - Good news for the Rams, they finally put some points on the board this season. The bad news? The Redskin defense is basically Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 this week, and the prediction is for PAIN!

New Orleans Saints 38, Philadelphia Eagles 20 - The Donovan Mcnabb injury is basically the outcome. I do not think he will play. Why do you think the Eagles brought in Jeff "Huckleberry Hound" Garica in immediately? Drew Brees finally cracks this Eagle defense late and pours it on.

New England Patriots 17, New York Jets 14 - How fun has the mind games and trash talking been for this game during the week? Rex Ryan came in knowing that the Jets HATE the Pats, and he rubbed salt to the wound right away. BTW, someone should tell Rodney Harrison that he is now a member of the press, and part of being the press, is to not associate yourself in a Twitter War defending your old team, like you still played! The Vegas line is FISHY. Pats pull out a nailbiter.

Cleveland Browns 19, Denver Broncos 16 - Although they won last week basically by the hand of God, I have zero confidence in Denver. Orton is a stiff, and that defense really can not stop Scooby Doo and the gang. Brady Quinn looks sharp this week, just a gut feeling.

Seattle Seahawks 27, San Francisco 49ers 23 - Got to give the 49ers props for making my Upset pick last week come through. They could easily win this game as well, but I do not think the 49ers have an answer for TE John Carlson. As long as Matt Hasselback is healthy, he is only going to improve each week.

Baltimore Ravens 17, San Diego Chargers 9 - No Tomlinson in this game. Does that hinder or improve the Bolts offense? Im not sure, LT looked as slow to hitting the hole as me running in quicksand. Ray Lewis and friends eat up the Bolts this week, who are also without C Nick Hardwick.

Chicago Bears 21, Pittsburgh Steelers 16 - Jay Cutler will bounce back, and I would like to give him a pointer in this clash with the champs. No Troy Polamalu = post routes with Hester and use Greg Olson in the middle of the field. Bears are desperate for a win, and claw one out.

New York Giants 27, Dallas Cowboys 20 - Everyone has Dallas winning this game, and they looked sharp in the first Post TO era last week. I just have no idea how the Boys are going to handle that physical defense, especially that front four. Got to prove you can beat a heavyweight Dallas. Sorry.

Last prediction:

Juan Manuel Marquez def. Floyd Mayweather by decison.

This prediction is coming more from the heart than on paper. Mayweather is the bigger, stronger, and faster fighter. I just cannot see Mayweather shake off 21 months of ring rust that fast against the smartest, technical fighter he has ever faced in his career.

By the way, nice one Mayweather for not making weight. The conspiracy theories are already going full-blast, but it comes down to one of two things. One, he just could not make weight.

Or, he did not want to make weight, knew Marquez would settle on the side for compensation, and did not have to dehydrate himself in training and will come into the fight stronger.

Either way, I hope Marquez knocks the punk out. I will settle for Mayweather being embarrassed after hearing the scorecards from Michael Buffer.

We will predict the Monday Night game next article, tomorrow.
