Wisconsin Badgers don't care about...spreads!

Let me start out by saying I love Saturdays during the fall. And not because of the sweet smell of pumpkin pies or cheese platters at wineries, nor the sights of couples holding hands as they throw back their scarfs in the brisk chilly weather. Nope, it's because I get to sit in my my house, barely clothed, while shaking off last nights poor decisions. With the tv showing all scores of the day for college football and as I lay there, eating 3 day old wings....ah, fall Saturdays.

Well, instead of enjoying the scores as they come up....I was 4 games up on a 5 game tease. The one left is the new look Michigan Wolverines versus the vaunted Wisconsin Badgers. All I needed at this point is for Badgers to win by a half a point....let me repeat myself...A HALF OF ONE SINGLE POINT!!!

As I checked the score at half time, I'm up by 19. So one would think, well lets continue running the ball and let that clock tick. So, in this case one doesn't get his legs broken by uninvited guests.

So, later on I turned back to secure my teased games and what do I see...the Badgers, who really isn't that intimidating of an animal, cannot even get first downs, or run the ball efficiently. Forget about throwing the ball, the mongoloid who lives next door who's been watching the smurfs all day, could throw better then any QB who's come out of the Badger nation.

Needless to say, I was headed for a great afternoon, possible blowing my winnings on craigslist hookers, Doritos and yo-yo's. But nope, the Wisconsin Badgers had to ruin it by being not good!!!

Here's to you Troy Brown

So Troy Brown has retired, I for one am happy that he ended his career as a Patriot. He has done so much in a Patriots uniform and i look forward to when he is inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.

REMEMBER WHEN: He lateraled to Antwaan Harris, who ran it in for the score that put the Patriots up, 21-3.

REMEMBER WHEN: In the AFC Championship game against the Steelers in January 2002, Brown's 55-yard punt return put the Patriots on the board

REMEMBER WHEN: In 2000, Brown earned a role as a starting wideout for the first time in his career. He started 15 games, hauling in 83 passes for 944 yards and 4 TDs and was still a threat in the return game

REMEMBER WHEN: Brown was the Patriots' leading receiver in Super Bowl XXXVI, catching 6 passes for 89 yards in addition to setting up Adam Vinatieri's winning field goal with this reception of a Tom Brady pass in the fourth quarter.

REMEMBER WHEN: The 33-year-old Brown's role changed in the 2004 season. With Ty Law and Tyrone Poole out for the year, and Eugene Wilson (right) battling injuries, the New England secondary was in disarray. So, Brown became a valued defensive back.


TROY BROWN'S WORDS ON HIS LAST CHANCE
"I would give anything in the world to be able to put those pads on again and do it and I probably had the opportunity to do it, but it just wasn't the right color. I didn't think I could be in green and white."

Tatum Bell are you serious?

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions running back Rudi Johnson says his luggage was taken from the team's practice facility by Tatum Bell.

Johnson was waived by Cincinnati, met with Lions president Matt Millen on Monday and signed a free-agent contact. During the meeting, his two duffel bags were taken from the team's headquarters.

Johnson said Wednesday he was shown surveillance footage Tuesday afternoon that captured the theft.

A message seeking comment was left Wednesday with Bell's agent, Kennard McGuire. Johnson replaced Bell on Detroit's 53-man roster.

The empty bags were returned Tuesday evening, but Johnson said he is still missing $200, his ID, credit cards and clothes. Johnson said he had spoken with Bell and did not plan to involve the police.

Hoping for a big year out of Ben Watson

I for one am hoping for a big year out of Ben Watson. Last year he had 36 receptions for 389 yards. That is not enough and though he only played 12 games that is also an issue. We need more. His 6 touchdowns were not bad but a guy with his speed and strength should provide much more for the patriots.

One would have to think with the receiver corps being a little thinner this year with out Stallworth that we will need more from Watson. I don't understand why he isn't more wide open when the defense has to worry about Moss and Welker?

Do You? Anyone?

Bad News for Bam Childress

The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that they have released eight players, trimming their roster from 75 player to 67.

Gone are receiver Bam Childress, cornerback Therrian Fontenot, cornerback Nick Graham, receiver Jamal Jones, running back Ryan Moats, safety Marcus Paschal, offensive lineman Stefan Rodgers, and linebacker Pago Tagofau.

Outstanding Guido Dance!

Joe thanks again for the great video. Have fun this weekend in Belmar. Joe also sent along these great Jersey pics.

Usa vs China basketball

First off I disagree with Bing Bong, I am into the Olympics. i care about the medal count and i care that USA does well. I agree that some of the events are foolish, but Basketball is great.

I DVRed the game vs. China and Yao Ming and watched it Sunday night. I knew who won and I even knew the score but it didn't matter. Watching the NBA's best minus Garnett, Dunkin, and Pierce play an up tempo game of great blocks (Lebron) and great dunks was very exiting.

It is amazing how far basketball has come and how much the players have developed since the Dream Team days. China hung around for much of the game and really just is not deep enough to hang with USA. Tuesday the 12th at 8PM EST is the next game. Don't miss it, this is great basketball and what I think we all want basketball to be.

Why the Olypics are Gay - Reason #241

Watch out! The Synchronized Swimming Team is coming for you!!!

"RAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

Not happy with the trade.

So let me get this straight, we just gave up one of the premier right hand hitters of all time in Manny Ramirez, an ok 4th outfielder and a middle reliever whom i think will turn out to be serviceable and 7 million dollars for Jason Bay? Jason Bay seems like a pretty good ball player that will fit in and do all right, but don't you think we gave up too much?

Don't forget with Manny protecting him opposing teams only intentionally walked Papi on average 8 times a year. though a couple years ago when Manny missed 30 games at the end of the season Papi was INT. Walked 8 times in 30 games. So the Sox also traded away a piece of David Ortiz. It's hard to be mister clutch when the catcher stands up to catch 4 quick ones.

If he had to go and the reports are true that the veterans were asked and they said, "let him go" then I understand. My only problem with this is the fact that we gave away way to much for Jason Bay. We shouldn't be paying Manny to play for the Dodgers.

I'll Miss Manny

I guess everyone in Boston hates Manny now but not me. He'll always be one of my favorite players. He was the best hitter I've ever watched and the Red Sox would still be a cursed franchise with no World Series Championships since 1918 without him. So what if he attacked the traveling secretary and bitch-slapped Youk in the grill - maybe they deserved it. Everyone needs to stop acting like they're the owners of the team. Who cares how much the Red Sox paid Manny - it's not our money. The guy was a great player for the Red Sox. How many guys sign huge contracts and suck after that - not Manny. I liked Manny because he was an awesome player and entertaining to watch. I'm not even saying I'm against the trade. It's probably time for the Red Sox and Manny to part ways - but let's not forget what Manny did here in Boston. You can choose to remember the crap the media throws out there about Manny or you can remember what Manny did on the field. I'm an "on the field" guy. Above all else he had the best quote ever right after they won the World Series in 2004: "It was our destination". What's not to love? Loosen up and relax people.

A letter from Jeff about Manny

Good Day,

Let me just tell you what I think about Manny Ramirez. Here is a guy who has been over in the United States his whole life who can barely read and still cannot speak English. If this fu**ing guy couldn’t hit a baseball he would be knocking on your door at Whitney Carriage and saying I’m here to look at your water problem. This fu**ing guy makes 20 million dollars a year to hit a baseball. This guys has no respect for anybody but himself. He slaps Yukulis in the face in the dugout and no one cares (don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed watching that.) Throws an 65 year old man to the ground because he couldn’t get him 16 tickets to a sold out game 5 hours before first pitch. Has quit on his team many times throughout his 8 year career here. Refused to pinch hit when he had the day off. Has asked to be traded over 5 times. And after all this stupid shit, people still are having heart attacks with the fact that they might trade him. Hes a fucking disgrace and should be permanently expelled from baseball. And if they do trade him I hope when he comes back here, I hope that they throw tools at him. Its just Manny being Manny. No, its Manny being a fu**ing idiot. I hope he dies.

Thank you,
Jeff

Thankful that she is not my daughter

Wachusett Country Club ISO golf

Saturday July 12th 2008. Remember that date. It's not only important to you and I, it's important to your friends, your children and yo mama. July 12th 2008 will be etched in the history books as The Day 2 ISS-TO-GO team members drove the ball for a combine 710 yards. If that's not a stretch to find something good in a round of golf I don't know what's is. The team took their show on the road to a what was once voted The Best Public Course in The World, The Wachusett Country Club. Some people like the bells and whistles in life. If you're one of these people The Wachusett C.C. is for you. Talk about bells and whistles...Free Tees, GPS in all carts, a sick food/beer shack conveniently placed on the back nine between 4 holes, free VJ's, ball washers at every hole, and a bartended that will give you 4 Bacardi and Diets TO-GO. The only down side of this course is that it's tough. But all and all it was a good day and fun was had by all...except for Kevin on the 6 hole when the fate of his lofting wedge ended in the bottom of the lake. Word has it that the club sucked anyway and was egging him on all morning.

Best Womens Golf Trophy!

And the award gos to:

whatever tournament this is!

The Most Over Rated Sporting Event of All Time....The Olympics!

The Most Over Rated Sporting Event of All Time....The Olympics!

Let's face it, the only countries that really care about the Olympics are the one's that are insecure about their sexuality (France!); Countries that try to make a political statements by juicing up their athletes only to loose to a hard working, blue collar American (see Rocky IV). So what, you raised a little Kenyan baby to run as fast as a cheetah. That means two things 1) Nothing 2) Now my blood diamonds can get to the United States faster.

I am starting to admire countries like North Korea, Chile, Antarctica and Canada for boycotting the Olympics this year over the notion that the Olympics have become "too gay".

Wait, I was just informed the Canada isn't boycotting the Olympics. I knew Canada was Bi Curious!

What happened to the old Olympics when people use to die. Now that was a real man's Olympics! Think about it, you want to make a statement about your country and it's people? Make the Olympics a fight to the death. Think Mortal Combat before the Friendships and Babality finishing moves. Each country should be tasked with finding the toughest S.O.B. in the land. Sending him via the shoulders of the incompetent to kick ass or die dishonorably. Now that would really be saying something. Can you imagine?

President Bush "And the United States selects...CHUCK NORRIS"

The rest of the world cries.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Kevin Varieur Diary ( Stolen from Bill Simmons but significantly shorter)

So Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, does this thing every now and again...he will sit down and watch a game and document everything. So hear I go...

The following happened between the hours of 7:oopm and 1:30am of June 18th, 2008

7:00 - My cpub 4 team just lost to the biggest bunch of losers to ever set foot on a men's softball field but no one really cares because in about 2 hours the Celtics are going to take the next step to becoming NBA Champions. The last time the Celts won the championship I had just lost my virginity...my sippy cup virginity that is. I was two years old and was sure about two things 1) Chocolate milk was the best invention ever 2) Larry Bird is a god.

7:35 - Still haven't showered but I did change my clothes so I will be sporting the Beat L.A. shirt for the next few hours. Heading to Joe's for a few pre game beers and a couple games of H.O.R.S.E. We all suck...

8:45 - Almost game time. KG looks pumped, Ray Allen looks intense, Paul Pierce looks like Beetle Juice, Ronda just peed his pants and Sam Cassel just enter the Bank North Garden in a aircraft that I just can't identify. Who cares? It's game time....wait...calling Papa Gino's... two large pizzas please...Okay! It's game time and the intros...son of a...I need a beer....okay. Game time and the Garden is insane. I jumping around my living room like an idiot.

9:00 - 11:30 I think I just blacked out. What happened. I think I just ruffeed myself.

11:49 - "Anything is possible...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLEEEE!!!!!" Kevin Garnette is not normal
