Why The Pro Bowl Ain't Shit & Doesn't Matter

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (9), Philadelphia Eagles'quarterback Donovan McNabb (5) and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers talk during NFC NFL football practice at the Pro Bowl on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
2 of these 3 QBs didn't make the team.

This Fiyah 5 is about this season's Pro Bowl in Miami which is being played tonight, the week before the Super Bowl, for the first time ever. The good news is that you can use most of these when referring to any Pro Bowl in the history of Pro Bowls. Let us begin.

5) Football is an actual contact sport.

This is probably the #1 reason why the Pro Bowl can't compare or compete with other league's all-star games like the NBA and MLB. In the NBA you can run around at half speed, do tricks, crazy dunks, and all kinds ill shit. In the MLB, if you're a pitcher you go out, throw 1 or 2 innings, and go chill. If you don't pitch, you go up to bat once or twice and play half-hearted defense for a few innings. In the NFL, you actually have to some work. There's plays to be called, tackles to be made, kickoffs to be covered, you can't half-ass it too much in a football game no matter if its an exhibition or not. And if you do, its really not interesting to at all.

4) Instead of competing with the NBA All-Star Weekend, its competing with the Grammy's.

One of the worst things that could've happened to the NFL's chances of making the Pro Bowl a game people actually want to see, was 9/11. Think about it, before 2001 the Super Bowl was played on the last Sunday of January, which meant the Pro Bowl was played on the first week of February. Significance: That's the week BEFORE NBA All-Star Weekend when ain't shit else on. After 9/11, everything was pushed back a week and now the Pro Bowl is forced to compete against the All-Star Weekend in that 2nd week of February.

Now, by moving the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl, it now gets to compete with the Grammy's. Let me think about it for a second: Hmm, watch the Grammy's, or watch the Pro Bowl? See the most prestigious award show in music, or see an exhibition game that doesn't matter or count. Uhh, give me the Grammy's ANY day. Hell, I'll even go as far as saying I'd rather way the Grammy's pre-show and red carpet events than the Pro Bowl. It just can't win no matter which event it goes up against.

3) About 1/3 of the roster didn't even make the team.

Have you seen the list of replacements?? Its like whole new teams were created. Between the Super Bowl-bound Pro Bowlers not having to play, injuries, and people flat out not wanting to play, both teams were basically re-picked. Definitely not awesome.

Okay, so not only does this game not matter, but most of the player who were picked to play aren't playing?? Nice!

2) The players in the Super Bowl that were selected don't have to play, but they do have to show up anyway.

How pointless is this?? The teams are concentrating on the biggest game of the season, and then their best players have to fly to Miami to WATCH the Pro Bowl. Huh?? And not only that, but the players also have to fly back to their respective cities only to fly to Miami AGAIN with their teams. What part of the game is that?? Oh yeah, its the "NFL is run by old white men who don't know what fun is and finds way to take the fan's joy" part of the game, I forgot.

And what happens if a team like the Bengals made the Super Bowl?? They had 0 Pro Bowlers before Chad Johnson was called in as a replacement player, so if Cincy made the Super Bowl he wouldn't be required to be there. That means the Bengals whole team would be together for 2 whole weeks while 7 or 8 of the Saints best were forced to go be mascots at a meaningless game when they could've been preparing. How is that fair?? Its not.

Why is the NFL punishing players for making the Pro Bowl??

1) No one cares.

Its the truth, we don't. The fans don't care, the media doesn't care, and the players don't care. In fact, I think the only person who actually cares about this game is London Fletcher. He's 34 years-old and this will be the first Pro Bowl appearance of his career. This may turn out to be his last shot at ever having this "Pro Bowler" on his resume.

Other than him, who cares?? The vets don't because they've been there, done that. The young guys don't because they feel like they're gonna be there every year for the rest of their career. No one cares.

Again, the game doesn't matter.

Anyway, the point of this all isn't to say moving the game was a bad idea, its to say it was an irrelevant, pointless idea. But I will be rooting for all the Cowboys to have a good game. That is all.

Kurt Warner Retires

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 16:  Quarterback Kurt Warner #13 of the Arizona Cardinals looks on as he stands on the field after their 45-14 loss against the New Orleans Saints during the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Louisana Superdome on January 16, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
This comes as a shocker to no one who heard he was calling a press conference for Friday on Wednesday. That's not to say there's some kinda weird correlation between those 2 days, but you don't call a press conference to announce you're coming back.

So this it for good ol' Kurt. What a career. Its a shame the first few days of his retirement are already being mired with possibly the stupid question you can ask concerning the NFL today, aka "Is Kurt Warner a Hall Of Famer??"

Uhhh, duh! Of course he is! I mean, of course he has a great story, but look at the man's resume:
  • 2-time NFL MVP
  • Super Bowl XXXIV winner and MVP
  • Second QB in NFL history to lead 2 different teams to a Super Bowl
  • Third in career passer rating in NFL history
  • Fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 passing yards
  • Owns the top 3 passing performances in Super Bowl history
  • Owns the record for most passing yards in a postseason (1,156)
  • Second best passing yards per game average in NFL history (260.8), 0.3 yards behind Peyton Manning (261.1)
  • Third highest single season passing yards total (4,830), behind only Dan Marino (5,084) and Drew Brees (5,069)
If that's not a Hall Of Fame resume, I don't know what is, hence "Is Kurt Warner a Hall Of Famer?" being top 5 single dumbest questions asked pertaining to the NFL.

Joe Budden & The Cardim Collection

Joe Budden
"The Cardim Collection" isn't an album, mixtape, or anything like that, its just a little nickname for the group of Joey tracks released this year produced by J. Cardim. The Great Escape is on the way though so there are more tracks to come.


Very sick, very Mood Muzik-ish. Then again, all of these tracks are. I heard a little jab at Tahiry in there too which isn't too surprising, but lets continue forward with 4 more after the jump!


"None of you dudes ain't soldiers. Ed Helms, when you lose your dawg, blame 'The Hangover.'" Shit! This was filled with tough lines BUT it gets better...


...And better...


Now this one here, man! This one might be my personal favorite of the 5 because Royce went in and then Joey just came out of no where and SMASHED this shit! So many hard lines, but my favorite might be the "and you'll be swinging at the air, no Wii controller" one. Mean and vicious!


All of these track are up for grabs to be on The Great Escape except for this one which is sadly gonna be left off because of an issue with a sample in the beat. Wack, but I guess niggas still being picky with what they'll let people sample.

Corinne Bailey Rae - I'd Do It Again/Closer

Corinne Bailey Rae
Here's some new music from Corinne Bailey Rae's new album The Sea which dropped this past Tuesday. If you aren't checking for her, start now!


That was an incredibly soothing and soulful song. If you can't get with that, be clear, there IS something wrong with you.


Very sexy, very soulful, very Corinne. I'm telling you, this chick is amazing!

There's a iTunes bonus track after the jump for ya, so dig that.


You can learn A LOT about an album by the songs that don't make the cut. Example: When you have hot shit like this (which could have easily been an outro) not even making the cut, you know you're flirting with a classic. Its a shame we don't get this kind of great music more often, but I'm not gonna complain and rather be joyous that it has finally arrived.

Sade - Skin

Sade
Here's another one from Sade's much anticipated come back album Soldier Of Love!


Interesting. The "now I must begin to wash you off my skin" part could make this an anthem for prostitutes everywhere lol. Seriously though, this is a crazy, stupid, insanely hot song! Sade Adu clearly hasn't lost her fastball and its nice to see her not come back and sell out.

Anyway, we all know the Soldier Of Love album leaked yesterday, but still mark down that the actual album hits store Monday February 8th!

Rick Ross - Mafia Music 2 (feat. Chrisette Michele)

The Teflon Don
Looks like Rick Ross is moving on from his dismantling in 2009 at the hands of 50 Cent by putting out more hot music. Fuck with it!


Ross may not be good at beef, but the nigga sure can pick a beat! Nobody, no matter how strong their hate is, can deny that this shit is sick as fuck. I could've done without that long ass intro, but I'll take it for what came afterwards.

Teflon Don coming this summer! Hopefully he doesn't pick another fight with someone smarter than him again this time around.

Exhibits A-Z

Exhibit C
Did I say Say Ahh was the most freestyled over track besides I Wanna Rock?? Wrong! I forgot all about this crazy ass Exhibit C beat! This probably the best collective of freestyles so I don't even have to ell you to enjoy, I already know you will.



This last one by Bun B isn't techinically over the Exhibit C instrumental, but it was about to be before Bun speaks on how many niggas have already used it and switched it up. Its still a good freestyle regardless though.

Hope for Haiti Now
Sincerest apologies about this being so late, I don't know why but I totally forget yesterday was Thursday lol.

Imagine if it was afforded the other 4 days most albums get by being released on a Tuesday, it may have went gold. Well definitely look out for big numbers out of this compilation album again next week.

Hope For Haiti Now's effects were not just felt on the Billboard 200, but on the Hot 100 as well as Taylor Swift's Today Was A Fairytale debuts at #2.

Axe Clean Your Balls


I tried to do a little research to see if the company Axe was really behind this and there's nothing that suggests they aren't. Makes sense to me, this shit is hilarious. Besides, you're trying to sell this stuff to boys and young men, not old ladies, so its okay to be funny with it. I like.

And how about Jaime Pressly?? She's still as hot as the first time I wanted to fuck her back when I saw "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" on HBO as a young boy in the late 90's. Nice!

LeBron Forever


This was from last Thursday's game against the Lakers, but this video is so gangsta! I mean a 25 year-old black male knowing all the lyrics in a rap song isn't that amazing, but being so good that you don't have to focus in crunch time is. This isn't some random point in the 3rd quarter, and the LeBrons weren't sporting a 20-point lead, this is 23.4 seconds left in the game with a 2 point lead versus the best team in the NBA.

Not to mention it was right out of a timeout (which again lets you know how little coaching Mike Brown actually does). Now that's talent! And shout out to TNT for leaving the camera on 'Bron long enough to capture this moment. Then again, I'm sure it wasn't too hard of an decision to put the camera on him for an extended period of time.

Matter of fact, Mr. Pants On The Ground already got things started in Minnesota in a film session in front of the NFC Championship losing Vikings last week. Check it out after the jump.

NBA All-Star Starters; Hatin' On Iverson

Allen Iverson
Dwight Howard C Amare Stoudemire
Kevin Garnett F Tim Duncan
LeBron James F Carmelo Anthony
Dwyane Wade G Kobe Bryant
Allen Iverson G Steve Nash

Why is everybody so tight about Allen Iverson not only making the All-Star team, but making it as a starter?? Yeah his stats aren't there this year, but he's Allen Iverson! Its a game for the fans and fans like Allen Iverson. Deal with it. Seriously, its a fuckin' exhibition game, it doesn't count for anything, let the fans see who they wanna see without all the bitching. The fans are the ones who pay the ridiculous prices to support these players and teams, they can't AT LEAST see who they want in the All-Star game?? Again, its an exhibition game, it doesn't count.

Besides, why is everyone singling out A.I.?? I don't hear anyone complaining about Kevin Garnett (15 and 8) or Tim Duncan (20 and 10) starting. You telling me Chris Bosh (24 and 11), Antawn Jamison (22 and 8), and Gerald Wallace (19 and 11) aren't all having better seasons than K.G.?? Hell, even David Lee (19 and 11) is having a better season than Garnett.

And out on the West, you telling me you can't make a argument that guys like Kevin Durant (29 and 7), Dirk Nowitzki (26 and 8), and Zach Randolph (21 and 12) should be starting over Timmy?? All of these guys are having better seasons than the person starting over them, but still, Iverson is the one everyone is up in arms about. Of course we all know why though, because K.G. and Timmy are seen as "good guys" and A.I. isn't. Bottom line. Its sad that its come to that, but it has. Sad.

Ludacris - How Low Video



Yes, we are only in the first month of the year, but I think we have the "Video Of The Year" winner right here ladies and gents. Amazing! It would be a perfect 10, but the Uncut days are over so there was no reason for Luda to take it "too far" with this video like he certainly could have. Not to mention its a top 10 single, so you probably want a clean-ish video that can play on TV...if you can find a TV show that still shows music videos.

Jerry Jones Rewards Wade Phillips With 2-Year Extension

Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, left, and team owner Jerry Jones laugh as they respond to questions during a press conference where Jones announced that Phillips had been given a two year contract, Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010, in Irving, Texas.
Unlike a lot of "analysts," and even some "fans," I'm fine with this. Wade has done a hell of a job with the defense and the defense had nothing to do with us losing this past Sunday. He earned the right to keep his job.

Besides, if we fire Wade, then what?? Is there anybody else out there I'd want coaching this defense over him?? No. And we certainly don't want to be like Buffalo and end up hiring a guy who is no better than the guy we just had. I'm on Team Wade.

(Side note: How about that leather jacket Jerry is rocking?? Pretty nice, right?? lol.)

Man, talk about random ass news! Steve Harvey hosting Family Feud?? What the fuck?? Is Cedric The Entertainer vying for the Jeopardy gig?? Is D.L. Hughley about to take over Wheel Of Fortune??

Of course he has plenty hosting chops, but this still seems a bit off. Oh well, good luck to him regardless.

Well, I just hope this doesn't interrupt with his morning show because that would truly suck. Rickey Smiley's show is good, but I'm still mad they got rid of Darius Bradford.

Finally, finally, FINALLY my nigga Mystikal is back on the streets...and I'm finally, finally, FINALLY writing about it lol.

As I've told y'all before, Mystikal was my favorite rapper for the longest, so you know I was amp'd when I first heard the news. My nig was locked up for 6 years on some foolishness! Whatever, I just can't wait to hear some new shit! A lot of things have changed since 2003 so I hope he can adapt. I know he has A LOT to say and I'm feeling like he's in the same mindset he was when he made Unpredictable.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, he did indeed cut off what was left of his braids lol. They were hanging on for dear life when he went in so it was only right he came out bald. Besides, do we really wanna hear any stories about how he had to sit between some dude's legs to get his hair braided?? Exactly.

Ding Dong The CYST Is Dead

MINNEAPOLIS - JANUARY 17:  Quarterback Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys walks off the field after being defeated 34-3 by the Minnesota Vikings during the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on January 17, 2010 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
That's right, its over, the Cowboys Yankee Stadium Theory is dead. It passed away at approximately 4pm yesterday in Minneapolis, Minnesota after being shot 6 times due to lack of protection. I know, very sad.

Okay, let me stop lol.

Now of course I'm mad disappointed about my team losing, but it definitely doesn't feel like the end of the world this time around. I don't know if its because we finally got our playoff win, or because there are people all over (and especially in Haiti) dealing with REAL problems, but it just doesn't seem that bad this year. That's a beautiful thing. I mean, I'm more pissed about the Vikings running up the score at the end than about losing the game itself.

(Side note: I should probably feel a lot worse considering our 2010 season is most likely gonna be a wash. Did you see our schedule?? We play the Saints, Titans, Bears, Jags, and Lions at home, and the Colts, Packers, Vikings, Cardinals, and Texans away. Oh, and then there's the matter of the other 3 NFC East teams with play twice each. That's some tough shit. I ain't saying we're going 0-16, but the playoffs definitely aren't guaranteed with that on the schedule on the horizon.)

Now, I'd like to take this time out to thank all the millions (and millions) of ESPN, FoxSports, CBS Sports, and all other so-called "analysts" and media members who jumped all over the Cowboys' bandwagon. I knew you'd be our downfall. Thanks.

Okay, okay, I guess this is the point where I'm supposed to place the blame on somebody actually on the team for the loss. I've heard a lot of blame put on Tony Romo, some blame put on Shaun Suisham, I even heard somebody blame Jerry Jones oddly enough. (Actually, it wasn't just "some person," it was Ryan Clark of the Pittsburgh Steelers on First Take this morning.)

Me, I'm not gonna place the blame on any one person, it was a team loss. If a gun was put to my head, I'd blame the offensive line, but it wasn't their fault Flozell Adams got hurt. That was the biggest problem right there though. Bottom line, we had trouble with protection when Flo was playing, but it was a free-for-all once he left the game early in the 2nd quarter. In the one quarter and less than 3 minutes Flo played, we gained 141 yards. We only gained 107 more the rest of the game. Its hard to get things going when your quarterback is on his butt majority of the game. In fact, I knew the game was over at half time because of this, but again, its no one's fault Flo got hurt, shit just happens.

Anyway, the good thing about this loss is that football fans can finally see that penalties themselves really don't matter, its when they occur that happens. Last week against the Eagles we had 14 penalties for 112 yards and won by 20, yesterday we had 2 for 10 and lost by 31 (or actually by 17 because that's what it was when we threw in the towel and the Vikings decided to run the score up).

In closing, I guess there's always next year... or uh, maybe 2011. I won't be as interested in football the rest of the way, but I do hope the Saints beat the brakes off the Vikings next Sunday. Those guys are fuckers and they need their ass whipped for trying to embarrass my 'Boys by running up the score. Lets go Saints!

Corey announced he was getting his own show via Twitter back on the 8th, and tonight is the first night. I figured he was going to take over The Claudia Jordan Show's time slot because Claudia has about 62 different jobs right now and it only made sense. I'll be sad to see her show go because I listen to her show all the time (though I am happy that I don't have to hear Shelly Rio's annoying anymore).

Anyway, go ahead and mark your calendars, every Monday night at 11pm The Corey Holcomb Show will be broadcasting live. Can't wait to hear who he's gonna have on his show with him! I heard Rickey Smiley had to fire Darius Bradford so that might be a good place to start. Whatever, as long as Corey is gonna be there, I'm happy because that is one funny ass nigga.

NFL Winners & Losers: Divisional Round

Cowboys @ Vikings
1) Cowboys (1-0) @ Vikings (0-0)
Y'all know I've been watching every piece of coverage on this game that I possibly could over the past week, you know what?? I'm pissed off! No, not because my team is being disrespected, but because now everyone is on our dick. Beating the Eagles down like that in back-to-back weeks could turn out to be a gift and a curse because our bandwagon is on super swoll right now! I'm talking Mark MacGwire in '98, and that's hardly ever a good thing. In fact, its such a bad thing that I'm more concerned about it than the fact that Minnesota is 8-0 at home this year (even though they were a missed FG and last second Favre miracle from being 6-2).

All this newfound support overshadows the fact that Brett Favre has never beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs, Visanthe Shiancoe picked up right where DeSean Jackson left off last week in the trash talk department, and how tired I am of hearing that Tony Romo idolized Favre as a kid and that Flozell Adams is going to cause 52 false start penalties.

The one thing it doesn't overshadow, though, is the CYST. In order for the Cowboys/Yankee Stadium Theory to continue forward, Dallas has to win this game. That's all I got, but its a heck of a thing to have. Cowboys winners, Vikings losers.

Ravens @ Colts
2) Ravens (1-0) @ Colts (0-0)
December 17, 2009. That's the last time the Colts played a full game. That's one nearly a whole month off for a team whose offense relies heavily on timing and precision. Long story short, I'm worried about rust. I mean, there's a reason Indy is 0-3 in the divisional round after having a bye for wild card weekend in the Peyton Manning era. No. 18 probably won't be a problem tomorrow, but I do worry about young players like Pierre Garçon, Austin Collie, and Donald Brown.

It doesn't help that they're playing a running team who can keep the ball out of Peyton's hands for extended periods of time. Of course the Colts don't need much time to operate with to come out victorious (see Week 2 win in Miami), but if they are indeed rusty they could be in trouble without time to work out the kinks.

On the Ravens side of things, Joe Flacco is going to have to throw more than 10 passes in order for his team to win. I'm worried about him and that hip because he looked extremely gimpy last Sunday. Flacco was not listed on Baltimore's injury report though, so the hip must be fine.

At the end of the day, I'm still pissed that the Colts passed up an opportunity to go undefeated, and all that bad karma will follow them into this game. Ravens winners, Colts losers.

Cardinals @ Saints
3) Cardinals (1-0) @ Saints (0-0)
Everyone has been saying how they've been going back and forth on who'll win the Cowboys-Vikings game, well I've been going back and forth on this game. All of these games could go either way, but this one even more so than the rest. I honestly think we could see Cards-Packers II tomorrow. Two high powered offenses and two not-so-awesome defenses, that usually equals a high scoring shoot out.

Earlier today I was leaning towards picking New Orleans because they re-signed Deuce McAllister and I thought that would give them an emotional lift. Then I came to my senses. N.O. already has 3 RBs (Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, and Reggie Bush), so if they re-signed Deuce, that means there MUST be something wrong with at least 2 of them. I mean, its not like they picked up Deuce to help out next season, they got him to play now. If they have to turn to a guy they (and nobody else) wanted all season the day before a huge game, that's a red flag rather its a shoot out or not.

Not to mention Kurt Warner is plays like a man possessed during the playoffs. Cardinals winners, Saints losers.

Jets @ Chargers
4) Jets (1-0) @ Chargers (0-0)
If they is any chance for a blowout, this is it. I know Vincent Jackson is going to be lost on Revis Island like Chad Johnson the weeks before, but who's going to account for Antonio Gates?? How about Malcolm Floyd?? Darrelle Revis is a helluva player, but he can only guard one person at a time.

I just see Phil Rivers doing whatever he wants this Sunday and punching his team's ticket to the AFC Championship game. Oh, and Nate Kaeding will NOT miss those chip shots Shayne Graham did last week. Chargers winners, Jets losers.

Playoff Record: 2-4 (.333)
Regular Season Record: 167-88 (.655)
Last Week: 2-2 (.500)

Sade - Soldier Of Love



You know what?? I do believe this is my first time seeing a Sade video. Of course I've seen Sade Adu before, but as far as the band and music videos are concerned, nope, never. But damn, Sade is still as beautiful as ever at 50, and going on 51 this Saturday.

Anyway, Soldier Of Love the album drops February 8th, and you KNOW I'm gonna be all over that shit. Here's the actual track since I never posted it during my time away. I'm gonna post all the freestyles over the beat too later so stay tuned for that.

LT & The Electric Glide


When I first saw this, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not...hell, I still can't tell if he's joking or not. Its not even funny, like at all. I mean seriously, what the fuck is this shit?? And why is he doing it now?? Shit sounds like the Cha-Cha Slide. I'm sorry San Diegans, but I'm gonna be forced to root against your Chargers this Sunday, solely because of the stupidity of this video.

LT, if you're gonna introduce a new dance, do it right... like this white girl after the jump.



LMAO! This shit never gets old lol.

The CYST Lives On

Romo
The last time we spoke CYST the Yankees had just won the World Series, and the Cowboys were a few days away from their first meeting with the Eagles. One day removed from the 'Boys beating the Birds for the a third time, the last time we talked CYST seems like forever ago.

Anyway, I'd like to take this time to call out ESPN real quick. That's right "Worldwide Leader In Sports," I'm talking to you. I was sitting around watching playoff football, minding my own when friend of the website Markeyea pointing out that ESPN.com totally jacked my theory for their recap of the Cowboys-Eagles game. Don't believe me?? Take a look for yourself, its a chart towards the bottom.

Damning, I know.

Ain't that some shit though?? I'm just an ordinary ass independent writer, why take my idea?? I'm hurt! I'm offended! And yes, by hurt and offended I do mean in need of somebody in the stats and research department to cut me a fuckin' check. I'm serious, I want my got damn money. I don't know if I have to speak to Russell Baxter, somebody at the Elias Sports Bureau, or even the fine folks over at Disney, all I know is that I want my money.

You know what?? I don't even need any money, but come on ESPN, give me something! Don't just rape me and leave, have a heart. Hell, I'd even settle for a trip to L.A. to watch Bill Simmons beat Cousin Sal with that foot long Subway sub. Something. Anything!


But I digress.

Okay, lets go ahead and update the CYST. First off, Dallas won the division. The Yankees won the AL East, the Cowboys won the NFC East.

Second, like the Yankees, the Cowboys destroyed their first round opponent. The Yanks dismantled and swept the Twins, the 'Boys annihilated the Eagles.

Finally, both clubs had their best offensive player, and chronically bad playoff performer, come up big. In the first round Alex Rodriguez had a .455 batting average, 6 RBIs, and 2 homeruns. Last night Tony Romo went 23 of 35 for 244 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a 104.9 passer rating.

The CYST is alive

NFL Winners & Losers: Wild Card Round

Eagles @ Cowboys
1) Eagles (11-5) @ Cowboys (11-5)
Do you know how much stock I put into that 24-0 win against the Eagles last Sunday?? Well if you guessed zero, you actually went a little too high. That game meant less than nothing. Philly played a series or 2 and quit, I don't care what anybody says. Yeah, they had the #2 seed and a playoff bye on the line, but I've seen the Eagles play plenty of times, and that wasn't them. I actually felt like I was being set up while watching that game, as if the Eagles had some master plan to keep our playoff win drought going. I mean they didn't blitz, receivers were dropping easy catching, McNabb was throwing off the mark, it just didn't seem right.

Anyway, lets get into some storylines and stats. Storyline #1, DeSean Jackson talking shit. First DeSean hit up Twitter after Sunday's game to say he and his team would "sting" the Cowboys' ass in tomorrow night's game. Then the guy hits up UStream to say, "Them boys are scared of me." In 2 losses to Dallas this season Mr. Jackson has 5 catches for 76 yards and 0 touchdowns.

Storyline #2, the Eagles's website director Dave Spadaro spitting on the star at midfield before last week's game. The Eagles can't seem to help, but give the Cowboys more and more motivation to get their first playoff win since 1996. I love it!

As far as stats go, Philly's defense has 25 INTs, but have given up 27 passing TDs. Andy Reid 7-0 in opening playoff games, Wade Phillips is 0-4 in the playoffs overall. And last, but not least, the Cowboys have never beaten a team 3 times in one season, but 12 of previous 19 have. That last one is daunting, BUT just because something has never happened, doesn't mean it can't. Cowboys winners, Eagles losers.

(Side note: Every time the Eagles and Cowboys have met in playoffs, the winner has gone on to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.)

Packers @ Cardinals
2) Packers (11-5) @ Cardinals (10-6)
I exchanged a few texts with my old buddy Tyler (aka Pimp) yesterday about who we like in the playoffs this year. You already know who I like in the NFC, but guess who he took?? The got damn Arizona Cardinals! If we were speaking in person, he most definitely would've been subject to "the fuck you talking 'bout nigga?" face (yeah, you know the face, that one).

Don't get me wrong, what the Cards did in the playoffs LAST YEAR was great, but after all, that was indeed LAST YEAR. Not only aren't the Cards sneaking up on anybody this year, but they also don't have a "rookie QB on the road" team and a Jake Delhomme led team to gain momentum against this year.

And that's not even to mention their health issues with key players like WR Anquan Boldin and CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

The Packers, on the other hand, are completely on fire right now. Aaron Rodgers is at the top of his game and he's already beat the Cardinals twice this season. Okay, okay, one of those was a preseason game (though it was the 3rd preseason game in which starters play into the 3rd quarter) and the other was last week when Arizona wasn't playing for anything. A win is a win though, and Green Bay knows they can beat AZ. And at the end of the day, they are a better team. Packers winners, Cardinals losers.

Ravens @ Patriots
3) Ravens (9-7) @ Patriots (10-6)
Waaaay back in Week 4 these 2 teams met out in Foxborough. The result was a 27-21 win by the Patriots, but, as in most cases, the final score doesn't tell the whole story. This was a game littered with bad calls including a few phantom roughing the passer calls in favor of Tom Brady that extended a few New England drives. The other big factor was Mark Clayton's HUGE drop on 4th down inside the Pats' 10 with 28 seconds left in the game.

The reason I bring that game up is because the Ravens have not forgot. This Sunday if they get flagged for roughing the passer against Tom Brady, it'll be welled deserved. I expect to see the Ravens front four in Brady's face a lot. After all, not only did they need to get their revenge, but they also have to make up for their suspect secondary.

On the Pats side of things, all everyone is talking about is Wes Welker this, Wes Welker that. Here's something they may not have realized: New England won all 3 of its Super Bowls pre-Wes Welker. Look, the Patriots are a machine, when a part is missing, they just plug someone else in and keep it moving. I've been saying this for years, but the Pats are about the system, not the players. Does it help to have a Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker?? Of course. Does it make that big of a difference if they don't have one?? No. Julian Edelman will fill in fine.

The Pats offense won't be the unit to let them down, it'll be their defense. They'll have no answer for Ray Rice and their secondary is just as suspect as Baltimore's, minus Ed Reed. The Pats are 8-0 at home this season, but I just don't see them winning this one. Ravens winners, Patriots losers.

Jets @ Bengals
4) Jets (9-7) @ Bengals (10-6)
All of these games were tough to figure out, but this certainly was the toughest. When I say this game could go either way, it literally could. Two good defenses, two shaky pass offenses, two stout rushing attacks (that's includes two former Chicago Bears at RB in Cedric Benson and Thomas Jones).

The Jets dismantled the Bengals 37-0 in the season finale, but while doing so, they may have shown too much. I'm sure the Bengals wouldn't have thought to game plan for Brad Smith and the Jets' version of the wildcat, but they will, and that just put more pressure on Mark Sanchez's shoulders.

And speaking of Mark Sanchez, a rookie QB on the road is never a good thing. Lets not forget, what Joe Flacco did last season was a first all-time, rookie QBs still aren't to be trusted in the playoffs. Yes, I'm wondered about who Carson Palmer will throw to while Chad Johnson (he said he'd change his name if he got shut down last week, and I'd call 0 catches for 0 yards being shut down) is lost on Revis Island, but I can't take Sanchez on the road, most likely in snow. Bengals winners, Jets losers.
