Tiger Woods potty mouth upsets you? What a wuss.

I just read an article, Eye-Opener: Did Tiger's language offend you?, about some overly sensitive loser caster, I mean sports caster, being offended by Tiger Wood's potty mouth. I mean come on Jim Nantz, look at all the crisis in the world and you want to soap box on Tiger Woods saying "Damn It"? That isn't even a top level bad word, hell it is even in the Bible.

Tiger Woods bones 14 or so hot chicks while cheating on his wife, which doesn't offend you, but a little potty mouth does? Jealousy perhaps?

This may be a news flash, but Tiger Woods is just a man, he is human. Let him be one in peace crybabies.

Reggie Bush a bust? Don't think so Michael Rosenberg

Michael Rosenberg wrote an article for SI, Bust? Saints haven't figured out what to do with Reggie Bush, which I pretty much disagree with.

Bush was drafted to help the Saints by making big plays, scoring touchdowns and help the team win games. He wasn't drafted as the savior Christ like the article insists.

In Bush's career he has played in 52 games racking in 4,502 total yards and 32 touchdowns (not counting playoffs). That averages out to about 1251 total yards and 9 scores a year. Those are some pretty good numbers. He was drafted as an exceptional utility player and that is what he is. A running back, receiver and punt returner.

His play making ability also helps the team since defenses have to keep an eye on him. They can't load up on the receivers and stick a linebacker on him or they will get toasted. This opens up their passing game big time.

So a bust he is not. A good NFL player who helps his team win he is.

Dallas to win the Super Bowl next year?

I just finished reading this article by Alan Pattani about how similar the 09 Cowboys are to the 91 Cowboys, which was the turning point to their Super Bowl domination in the 90's. All I can say is WOW. If you want to take a look at the story check it out HERE.

The current Cowboys certainly have a great team, if they can fix some mental blunders they can be an excellent team. I think this certainly can be Déjà vu for Cowboy Nation. I hope so, that way I can rag on all the Cowboys haters :-P

Wouldn't it be funny if the Jets beat the Colts?

Don't get me wrong, I am a Peyton Manning fan. I think he is the best quarterback in the NFL and probably of all time. I would love for the Colts to win the Super Bowl.

Would it not be a total kick in the ass if the Jets happen to win? I mean, the reason they are even in the playoffs is because Jim Caldwell wanted to rest his starters in their week 16 match-up since they already had home field wrapped up in the playoffs. They bypassed the golden chance at an undefeated season for health players.

Now, the Jets could have won that game even if the starters stayed in, but it isn't likely. This upcoming game would not even exist had the Colts played the game hard and came out with a victory.

Now they both play for the AFC Championship, and that stickler defense of the Jets could possibly beat the Colts. Passing up the opportunity for NFL immortality and choosing rested players for the playoffs gave the Jets a playoff birth (well they still had to win their last game but you know what I mean).

If the Colts lose, Jim Caldwell will get blamed for not playing his starters in week 16 and killing the Jets playoff hopes at that time. With a win, the Jets will have bitten the hand that fed it.

But if the Colts win and go on to win the Super Bowl, fans may still be angry since it proves they would of beaten them in week 16, giving them a chance to have only the 2nd undefeated season in NFL history, the 1st to do it with the 16 game regular season schedule.

This game is gonna be good :-)

Tainted BCS Championship win?

I don't think so. Many are claiming it a tainted win since McCoy went down so early in the 1st quarter leaving Texas to play a freshman inexperienced quarterback. Although that is a great misfortune for the Longhorns, that is just part of the game. Alabama did catch a break, a huge one, and even though the scoreboard said 37-21 it was a much closer game then that.

The first two field goals Texas kicked would have probably been touchdowns had McCoy not gone down. None the less, with just over 3 minutes left of the game Texas brought it within 3 points. Poor Texas freshman Gilbert's fumble and interception on their next 2 possessions changed that lead to 17.

Four interceptions, 1 returned for a touchdown, and a critical fumble were evidence Gilbert wasn't ready to play. It appeared the coaches already knew that when he first came into the game by being super conservative on play calls, basically just running the ball. It is possible that McCoy could of had the same issues with turnovers but it is highly unlikely. In my opinion Texas might have won the game by two or three scores had McCoy not gone down.

So a tainted win? Not for Alabama. I put the blame on Texas. Their backup looked like a lost kid out there. He did have some good moments, but for the most part the offense was severely hampered in limited play calls, and the turnovers are what lost the game.

Texas should have had a backup ready to play, especially in such a critical position. He should of been familiar with the offense, familiar with the playbook, and most of all familiar with the players. I don't expect a backup to come in and perform stellar, but I do expect a backup to come in prepared. Gilbert was nowhere near prepared and I blame the coaches for that.

Injuries are part of the game and shouldn't take anything away from a win.

Mike Leach fired?



I would like to start off by saying I am not a Texas Tech fan, much less a fan of college football. I only know about this story because it has been popping up on my Igoogle page quite a bit and I caught something on ESPN about him locking a kid up in a small dark closet.

So I started watching and reading and this is what I get from it - the kid, Adam James, is a spoiled rich kid who is lazy and a blamer. Of course I don't know him personally, but what I have read that other people are saying about him, including his other coaches, past coaches and people that have played football with him, he is a lazy athlete and everything is always someone else's fault.

From what I have read he is even lucky he is playing Division I football in the first place. No other team offered him anything during or after his senior year in high school. His celebrity dad approached Leach with a highlight reel and against his fellow coach’s opinions; he gave the crybaby a scholarship.

Even being so lucky, he still whined about his playing time and was lazy in practices. Players even mention how "negative" he was and that he would bring other players down, often telling other players they don't have to listen to the coaches or do what they say because they have to play them any way.

Oh and that small shed he claims he was put in, it is the white building in the picture. Being put in a dark cooler area is actually to speed up recovery if he really did have a concussion.

Why is this crybaby doing this? Apparently because the coaches made him and some other receivers run bleachers for slacking off in practice a week earlier. The trainer in charge of their "punishment" says the crybaby was rude the entire time while the others accepted it and did it.

Texas Tech has fired the coach, without any proof he did anything wrong. This is before their bowl game. What an easy way to not have to pay the coach his $800,000 bonus that is due at the end of the season. I think this is going cost Texas Tech a lot more then that considering Leach has a pretty good lawsuit under development.

All of this is happening because of a spoiled rich kid not getting his way.

Well the Boys did what I expected

I knew the Cowboys would win this game, and it wasn't only wishful thinking. The Saints near loses proved they weren't immortal and I figured if they were going to lose any game this almost perfect season it was going to be against the Cowboys.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Cowboys are better then what people think. And with their life basically on the line, it was just a matter of making one or two plays they have been missing in their loses to be able to topple the perfect season of the Saints.

I knew the Saints would not blow them out, I expected a low scoring close game or a blowout by the Cowboys. Although it was neither of those expectations, Dallas clearly out played the Saints.

And Romo played extremely well again, December has been good to his stats this year. The defense stepped up, and for once the play calling went deep. They finally let Romo throw the deep ball and it worked in more ways then just the touchdown. It made the defense realize they could get burned, and basically softened the D up overall.

I am gonna say Brees dropped out of that MVP hunt leaving it to Peyton and Favre. I like Drew Brees and I like the Saints alot. I was actually hoping they would win because I would like to see 2 teams go 16-0, but I knew Dallas was gonna break that up.

I know the Cowboy bashing will continue, now people are gonna hate them because they ruined the Saints hope to perfection. Oh well, maybe they can ruin some more dreams along the way in the playoffs :-)
