Dolphins Sign Ochocinco

Ochocinco Released By Pats
Seriously, I don't think Ocho will be out of work for too long with OTAs going on now and training camp being right around the corner. The team that makes the most since for him services is the Dolphins (he's from here and they currently have a WR corps full of #2 receivers), but their front office is so incompetent, I doubt they make a move.
My Cowboys could use a third WR with Laurent Robinson gone, but the team I like to see him with most in the New York Jets. They need help at WR, they're rivals with the Pats, and they want attention almost as much as Chad. Rex Ryan and Ochocinco is a match made in Heaven! I swear, if the Jets sign him, I'm started a petition to force them to do HBO's Hard Knocks.

Skip Bayless In Madden 12
Did you see the highlights from that Lions-Pats game? Ocho isn't beating anyone right now, even Skip Bayless.
I know my Cowboys have a porous secondary, but gotdamn Skip got beat every damn play. Fitz is good, but shit!

Why???: Skip Bayless & Ochocinco Have Twitter Beef
I love Ocho, but shut up nigga, no one hates you.
Ochocinco wasn't the only NFLer to get into it with Skip Bayless today though, Darnell Dockett also decided to call Skippy out for talking about FSU. Check it out:

Random News Shit: Even More NFL Mania Edition
FUCK! These niggas just got Albert Haynesworth AND Ochocinco for two 5th round picks and a 6th round pick! Again, how does this keep happening?!? Maybe we should just mail the Lombardi Trophy to New England now. FUCK!
2) Kevin Kolb Finally Traded To Arizona
Any time you can trade a starting CB and a 2nd-round pick for a back-up QB with a 11-14 touchdown-to-interception ratio you got to do it, right Arizona? Oh, and don't let me forget the 5-year/$63.5 million contract that came along with it for Kolb. Can you say winning? No? Rightfully so.
3) Eagles Agree To Deal With Vince Young
Technically the Eagles aren't allowed to talk to Vince Young yet because he hasn't cleared waivers, but according to Albert Breer of NFL.com it's a done deal. Good for the Eagles because Mike Vick is likely to get beat the hell up again this year.
Welp, there's another DB that won't be wearing a star on the side of his helmet this year. This sucks, our secondary is thinner than a sheet of paper. We need bodies!
Anyway, Joseph is getting $48.75 million over the next 5 years with $23.5 million in guarantees.
And $25 million in guaranteed money. The Panthers are ballin' out right now!
Blanche Ely's own Clint Session returns to Florida with the Jags for $29 million over the next 5 years including $11.5 million in guaranteed money. On the surface this doesn't make sense, but he had a chance to get paid, so he took it.
7) Saints Replace Reggie Bush With Darren Sproles
Sproles' new deal with the Saints is 4 years, $14 million. Six million of that is guaranteed. The Chargers couldn't match that?

Wow, so he's that confident the NFLPA and the rest of the players will cave like Antontio Cromartie did? Yeah, unfortunately he's probably right, but here's my question: Why $1? Why not no dollars? If you're the guy in charge, and you let the business that made an average of 55 million Americans stop and watch, you deserve nothing if said business has a work stoppage because you couldn't properly divide up the billions of dollars.
Sorry Roger, but I'm not impressed.
2) Chad Going Back To Johnson
Yes, I realize this and the next couple story are old, but I still wanted to comment on them since I haven't really had the chance to.
Anyway, 2 thoughts on this topic: 1) it's about gotdamn time, and 2) good thing I never changed his name in the tags on my website.
3) Michael Vicks Gets First Post-Prison Endorsement Deal
Okay, it isn't Nike or Gatorade, but it's a start.

Random News Shit: Urban SportsCenter Edition
I'll be honest, I didn't really give a shit about this story. If I had, I would've wrote about it Sunday. Even though I never believe anyone when they say their Twitter got hacked after they post come wild shit, I didn't think it was a big deal because it was just a random tweet...then I found out he actually TwitPic'd the $5,000!
What the fuck dude, how idiotic can you be?? I know you're unhappy about still being in Denver when your boys from the '03 draft took their talents to South Beach, but c'mon son! Melo, you're too big for this shit. If you didn't do nothing with Kat Stacks, just ignore the bitch. Done and done. Idiot.
2) Manny Ramirez Set To Join White Sox
Well good for Manny. Thank goodness I didn't drop dollars on that Dodgers jersey back in 2008.
Oh, and Manny definitely is NOT cutting his hair, sorry White Sox.
3) Chris Bosh Gets Engaged
Uhhh, aight then. You sure you wanna do this Chris, you know you're gonna be in Miami for at least the next 5 years, right?? Aight then playa, more power to ya. I guess we'll see you on season 5 of "Basketball Wives."
4) Troy Polamalu's Hair Insured For $1M By Head and Shoulders
Wow. That's it, just wow. All them niggas in the league with dreads must be pissed. I wonder how much Head and Shoulders will insure Tom Brady's golden locks for if he agrees to not cut his hair either?? You know their thinking about it.
5) Shaun Rogers Fined For Gun Charge
The fine was $300,000, but that worked out awesome because he's 1) not gonna see any jailtime and 2) isn't going to be suspended by the NFL. Good deal.
6) Ocho Cinco Fined 25K For Tweeting During Game
I forgot to talk about this last week, but how retarded and petty is this shit?? Seriously, $25,000 for tweeting during a preseason game that he wasn't even in anymore?? Should he have been tweeting during the game?? No, but exactly is the harm done by this, and is it $25,000 worth of harm?? Hell no! Stop being petty, NFL.

T.O. Chooses The Bengals
What am I talking about?? Well yesterday I wrote a column urging T.O. to join the Bengals over the Jets, then later that day we're hearing about T.O. picking the Bengals over the Jets (presumably right after reading my column). And no, I don't care if the Jets never made a formal offer and the Bengals were the only team with a deal on the table, I'm taking the credit any damn way. So yeah, Cincinnati you're welcome.
Anyway, as if I couldn't wait enough for the August 8th Hall Of Fame Game (the first preseason game of the season) between my Dallas Cowboys and the aforementioned Cincinnati Bengals, this happens. Romo, Miles, and Dez going up against the likes of T.O., Carson, and Ocho! It promises to be the most exciting 2 or 3 series of the first week of the preseason! Yes, yes, and more yes!
Now as many people have pointed out, the Bengals now employ a sizable amount of Cowboys castoffs in Tank Johnson, Roy L. Williams, Pacman Jones, and now T.O., so I'm thinking they're in need of a name change. I juggled through a few and decided "Cincinnati Cowboys" would be most appropriate (besides, "Cincinnati Castaways" and "Porkopolis Pariahs" just seemed mean). Any others??
(Side note: How many are those jokes about Jerry Jones gonna be in that locker room?? Man, it's gonna be brutal in there lol.)
The last piece of business that needs to be settled is who's gonna wear #81. As of right now, Antonio Bryant (aka the guy Cincy originally picked over T.O.) has the #81 jersey, but as we all know, T.O. has worn 81 since forever. As Skip Bayless pointed out, Bryant is the highest paid Bengals WR and that's not to mention he might see T.O. as a threat to his playing time, so maybe it won't be so easy getting him to give up the number?? We shall see.
Either way, drunk white women for everyone!

Oh well, if L.T. and his agent can convince one of these clubs to give him a bunch of money even though he's a shell of himself, then more power to him.
I wrote all that before L.T. signed and I didn't feel like wasting it so I just crossed it out lol. Anyway, L.T. has chosen the New York over the Minnesota to house his remains for the 2010 season. Good luck with that New York.
2) Browns Sign Jake Delhomme
So the Browns got rid of Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn to bring in Jake Delhomme?? Really, Jake Delhomme?? I can't wait to hear how they try to sell that one to the fans in Cleveland.
And I'm not saying Anderson or Quinn were the answer in Cleveland, but outside of JaMarcus Russell, Delhomme was easily the next worst QB in the NFL last season. I mean, the guy threw 18 picks in 11 games, he was a turnover machine. Then to make matters worse, as soon as he got hurt, the Panthers instantly got better with Matt Moore at the helm. I hope Browns are planning on taking a QB with one of those many draft picks this April because a terrible Browns team plus Jake Delhomme as the starter may equal the 2nd 0-16 team in 3 years.
3) Bengals Choose Antonio Bryant Over T.O.
Despite Chad
Now yall know I'm a major supporter of T.O., but they probably made the right choice. I mean, of course Bryant is younger, but you just wouldn't wanna do that to Carson Palmer. The man already has to deal with the artist formerly known as Ocho, you can't just throw T.O. in there. Smart move. Well, if Bryant is healthy. If he isn't then they might as well take a chance on Owens.
4) Chiefs Add Thomas Jones
Nice addition by the Chiefs! Jamaal Charles is obviously the man in KC now, but Jones is definitely going to be able to help them. The Jets WILL regret choosing L.T. over Jones.
5) Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson working out of the same backfield?? Man, if this was 2005 it would be on!
6) Dolphins Bring Back Chad Pennington
Smart move I say. Chad Henne is the man in Miami, but it'll be good for the youngster to have a proven veteran behind him (no homo). He also knows that if he doesn't play well he could get pulled quicker with Pennington back there oppose to Pat White or Tyler Thigpen.

Random News Shit: SportsCenter On DVR Edition
1) Allen Iverson To Miss Rest Of Season
This may be it, but for real this time. I don't know how sick is 4 year-old daughter is, but if her illness doesn't clear up, he'll probably never return because family comes first. He shouldn't need the money (emphasis on shouldn't), so this is probably the sad end to a magnificent career. Good luck to A.I. and his little girl, I'm positive this is harder to deal with than any challenges he's ever face in the NBA.
2) LeBron Files Paperwork To Wear No. 6 Next Season
This is so wack to me. I know he's trying to sell the whole "paying homage to Jordan" thing, but I'm not buying it. Legends like Bill Russell and Julius Erving donned the #6 jersey, what they don't deserve homage too?? LeBron is a student of the game, I'm sure he knows all-time greats have worn #6 as well as #23.
I don't get it though. I know I'm not as extreme as Skip Bayless, who thinks Bron is ditching the number to get from under Jordan's shadow of expectations, but there is something else going on. And its NOT just to sell more jerseys, with all the money he's making, jersey sales are probably the least of his concern. Oh well only time will tell, I guess.
3) Hasheem Thabeet Sent Down To D-League
Back in June, a wise man said Hasheem Thabeet was "destined to be Stromile Swift 2.0." I wonder who that wise man was?? Oh yeah, it was me! By being sent down to the D-League, Thabeet becomes the highest draft pick ever to have that done to him. Man, its a good thing they didn't take Tyreke Evans, Steph Curry, or Brandon Jennings with that 2nd overall pick.
Here's an idea, the next time the Grizzlies are in the lottery, maybe they should try avoiding the 2nd overall pick because they are 2 for 2 in #2 pick busts since 2000. First there was Stromile Swift, and now there's Thabeet. (And they didn't exactly have much luck with the #2 overall pick pre-2000 either. They got 3 decent seasons out of 1998 #2 pick Mike Bibby before trading him to Sacramento, but 1999 #2 pick Steve Francis didn't even want to play for the franchise and cried until he forced a trade to Houston.)
4) Ocho Cinco, Andrews On New DWTS Cast
That's right, now Chad Ocho Cinco...I mean, Chad Johnson (remember he said he's change his name back if Darrelle Revis shut him down) will have the opportunity to dance and act a fool without Dictator Goodell throwing thousands of dollars worth of fines at him.
Also joining
The new season starts March 22nd.

NFL Winners & Losers: Wild Card Round
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.)
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.
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.
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.

December 14th
Tom Brady Comes To Randy Moss' Defense
Well that's a good thing for them, but anybody who watched that game or saw those highlights can clearly see Randy was half-assing it. The thing I don't get though, is why the Panthers' DBs were talking shit in the first place?? 1) If you're an opposing DB and Randy Moss only has 1 catch for 16 yards, why wouldn't you just say you shut Randy Moss down?? 2) While Moss was dogging it, they STILL couldn't stop Wes Welker as he went for 10 catches and 105 yards. Makes no sense to me, but oh well.
December 15th
Man Pleads Guilty In Erin Andrews Case
He agreed to serve 27 months, but the judge will have the final say. That's about right to me. And even though this guy is a sicko, I appreciate what he did for the internet and all Erin Andrews fans lol.
Tracy McGrady Makes Season Debut
Can you believe Tracy is still only 30 years-old?? He should still be in his prime right now, but he's been damn near slowed to a hault by injuries. Maybe he needs to do what I suggested to Greg Oden and have his agent land him a gig in Phoenix.
Now, the part that I don't get in all this is how Tracy loss his #1 jersey to Trevor Ariza?? Yeah, check it out, Tracy is wearing a #3 jersey, and Trevor is wearing #1. I actually noticed Trevor was wearing the #1 a few games before Tracy came back, but either way, isn't that weird?? Tracy has worn #1 for his entire career, why they switch now?? I mean, its not like Tracy left the team and came back to somebody wearing his number (as is the case with Ben Wallace who is now back with the Pistons, but has to wear the #6), he never left the roster. He wasn't a free agent or anything. Its not a big deal at the end of the day, but I just don't get it, especially since Trevor was the new comer AND he wore the #3 last year with the Lakers while #1 was available. Okay, I gotta move on, I'm spending way too much time on this lol.
December 16th
Angels Lands Series MVP, Hideki Matsui
Well it was probably inevitable that the Yankees would let him go, but the Angels defnitely upgraded their DH position because Vlad Guerrero barely looked like he was moving when he ran the bases last season. It was just sad really.
Anyway, Matsui got a one-year $6 million deal.
Phillies Get Halladay, Sends Lee To Mariners
This trade was dumb to me. I mean, Roy Halladay is a great pitcher, but Cliff Lee had already proven he was lights out the entire time he was with Philly. I hope this trade blows up in the Phillies' face.
December 17th
Ocho Cinco Wants to Fight Merriman
Had Chris Henry not passed, this would be probably be the big storyline going in to Sunday's match-up for the right to the #2 seed in the playoffs. Its still kinda funny though.
Vinny Cerrato Resigns From Redskins Position
This is probably best for the Redskins. They have already brought in Bruce Allen to replace him, and are now, reportedly, in talks with Mike Shanahan. The word on ESPN is that Mike Shanahan turned down the Bills job because they wouldn't bring in Allen. I personally think it was because the Bills sucks, but who knows lol.
Bobby Knight Chides John Calipari In Speech
Here's the quote:
"We've gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that's why I'm glad I'm not coaching," he said. "You see we've got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he's still coaching. I really don't understand that."
Thank you! College coaches can practically get away with murder and the players that really make these school their money can't get away with a white lie. Damn shame, but I applaud Bobby Knight for speaking up.

Random News Shit: Sports Recap 12/4-12/9
Okay, I've obviously been M.I.A. with my keyboard issues (not semen related issues either lol) so I'm gonna try something new in my recap of the big sports stories over the past 2 weeks. Lets give it a go:
December 4th
Nets Get Past Bobcats For First Win
Final score 97-91 as the Nets get 31 and 14 from Brook Lopez and 27 from Courtney Lee. Too bad this couldn't have happened prior to them setting the record for most losses to begin an NBA season. The good news is they now have 2 victories to hang their hat on and need just 8 more to not be dreadful 72-73 76ers. Only 56 more tries to go, good luck gentlemen.
December 5th
Pacquiao Signs Contract To Fight Mayweather, Agrees To 50-50 Split
Its all going down March 13th and I can't wait! I'm not even that into boxing, but this its obviously a match-up I'd pay to see. As of right now I have NO idea who would win. I recently watched the Mayweather-Hatton and saw a lot of areas Pacman could really exploit (not to mention it took him 2 rounds to do to Ricky Hatton what it took Mayweather 10). Then again, Pretty Boy Floyd is undefeated for a reason.
Its just gonna be a great event and I won't be surprised by the victor no matter the outcome.
(Side note: Cowboys Stadium WILL NOT host the fight, though owner Jerry Jones is still interested.)
Greg Oden Done For The Season Again
At this point its just sad. The guy didn't even get touched this time. Maybe a career in the NBA wasn't mean for him?? Whatever the case, the Blazers need to cut their losses now and let him go. Yeah, he's a pretty decent player, but you can't count on him to be around.
If the Blazers do release him (which they won't), Oden's best shot at actually have a career is going to Phoenix. I don't know what they do down there in the desert, but it clearly works. Grant Hill couldn't stay on the court for like 7 or 8 straight season, he goes down to Phoenix and plays all 82 games for the first time in his career last year. Shaq looked done down in Miami before going to Phoenix, and now he looks like he did in Miami up in Cleveland. Greg needs to get his ass in a Suns uniform if he plans on continuing a career in the NBA.
December 7th
Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen Enter NFL Draft
I'm not sure what his draft prospects are at this point, but he'll probably be a first rounder with all the teams out there in need of a QB.
Also entering the draft from Notre Dame is WR Golden Tate, whose name said at the right speed sounds a lot like "golden taint." Probably not the best thing heading into the possibility of rookie hazing. And don't ask why I brought that up, I have no answers for you lol.
December 8th
Plaxico Burress Bid For Work Release Unlikely To Be Granted
Mna, I still feel so bad for Plax. Whenever I think about him, I think about my cousin and all the others in prison over foolishness. My uncle was just on work release and its not so bad, obviously anything is better than being in prison. Hopefully Plax can get on it soon.
Clinton Portis Places On IR
That's too bad for Clint, I sure wish he was suiting up this Monday to play the Giants because I sure need the Redskins to pull off that upset. I hope this isn't the end for him, he's still 28 so he should still have 2-3 years left in him, but these head injuries are just touchy. Best wishes to that man.
Ocho Cinco Fined $30,000 For Sombrero TD Celebration
I might shock some here, but I don't totally disagree with this fine. Hear me out: 1) it was pretty wack/lame/boring and 2) it was mildly racist. Look, I'm one of the least offendable (don't worry, I know its not a word lol) people in the world, but I could see how somebody could take this the wrong way.
(Side note: I had a decent joke about white NFL players and black face, but I'll keep it to myself for now lol.)
December 9th
Eagles Give Andy Reid 3-Year Extension
We still don't know exactly how much this deal is worth, but Reid will reportedly be making around $5-6 million a year. Good for him.
Yankees, Pettitte Agree To 1-Year $11.75 Million Deal
Good for him, good for the Yankees, but this next story is a MUCH bigger splash.
Yankees Steal Curtis Granderson In Trade
It was three-team deal, but the Yanks came out with the big prize in Granderson. Despite his batting average dropping each of the past 2 seasons, Granderson hit 30 homers last year and made his first All-Star team. I say good move!
November 13, 2009
Random News Shit: Bullshit Edition
We all knew it was gonna happen, but this is still such bullshit. Atlanta coach Mike Smith was fined just $15,000 for his involvement in a sideline altercation with players, but Estaban jokingly over a dollar was across the line and worth $20,000?? Again, IT WAS A DOLLAR! If anything he should've been fined $1 by the league. Just more reason to hate Dictator Goodell. I swear, if I wasn't such a big Cowboy fan I'd seriously think about not fuckin' with the NFL because it keeps doing dumb shit like this.
(Side note: I wonder if he'll get fined again for sending this "tweet" to President Obama.)
2) Hornets Fire Scott, Replaces Him With GM
Here's some more bullshit for you, the 2008 NBA Coach Of The Year Byron Scott got fired 9 games into an 82-game season in favor for the Hornets GM aka the guy responsible for bringing in the players that got them off to a 3-6 start. Brilliant.
I never really liked the Hornets, but now I sure as hell don't. I would wish they'd tank the season, but that would do them benefit because they'd get a high draft pick, so instead I'm hoping they go 41-41. Fuck the Hornets.
3) NFL Bans Captain Morgan Pose TD-Celebration
Keeping up with our bullshit theme, remember in last Sunday night's Cowboys/Eagles game when Brett Celek scored and got a 15-yard penalty after lifting his right leg as his touchdown celebration?? Well yeah, that little ditty has been banned by the NFL.
Apparently Captain Morgan was planning on donating money to the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a nonprofit that helps retired NFL players, every time a player struck the pose after a touchdown. Well the NFL wanted no part of that because if it doesn't make the league itself money, its a problem. That's right, don't be fooled, this is ALL about money. We can play football games in Heinz Field and Lank Shark Stadium, and watch 50 million Coors and Bud Light commercials during breaks, but somehow donating to a good cause is a bad idea. Bullshit! Its only a bad idea because the NFL isn't directly profitting off of it.
See, the NFL is like Jerome on "Everybody Hates Chris," they're assholes unless you let them "borrow a dollar." Sad. Its not good when I get to point where I'm having to remind myself of why I love this game.
4) LeBron James To Change His Number In Honor Of Michael Jordan
I believe I remember hearing ramblings over the summer about LeBron possibly changing his jersey number to 6, but I never knew why. Well now I do. 'Bron thinks nobody in the league should be allowed to wear #23 and you know what?? He's probably right. There are MANY legends of this game from Russell to Dr. J to Magic to Bird, but Michael is the greatest so this is a commendable move.
Do I think the NBA should make it a rule that no player should wear #23?? No. If you retire Jordan's number league-wide, you'd have to retire all the greats numbers league-wide, but it'd be a nice way to show respect for the best by all NBA players currently wearing the number to change.
Now the only thing yet to be answered is what team jersey will that #6 be on?? Well we should all know it definitely won't be a Knicks jersey lol.
5) Klondike Sponsers T.O.-Ocho Cinco Roast
I burned so many calories on the other stories that I'll let you check this one out yourself, but its a pretty neat idea.

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition
Strong win by the Yanks. The World Series will get poppin' Wednesday night against the Phillies in New York. Lets take this time to thank the Cleveland Indians for sponsoring game 1 as CC Sabathia will face off against Cliff Lee, better luck with the Cavs.
Speaking of baseball...
2) ESPN Fires Steve Phillips
I thought ESPN was going to let Steve slide with that bullshit "leave of absence" last week, but nope, they fired his ass. I'm glad to because he deserves it for cheating on his wife with somebody that busted. I mean, its one thing that he cheated on his wife, but damn, with that bitch?? C'mon son!
Anyway, you know what was really funny?? ESPN wrote a story about it AND talked about it on SportsCenter last night! Creep! Tough break nigga.
3) Bradford To Enter NFL Draft After Surgery
Good job making the right decision one year later dumbass. This all just goes to show, if you have a chance to go to the league and that money, do it!
4) Chad Ocho Cinco Starts The OCNN
You guessed it, the Ocho Cinco News Network! Our boy Estaban is gonna try his hand in breaking news!
Unfortunately, he plans on doing it via Twitter and not by way of his own website, but its still a good idea nonetheless. I mean just check out the slogan:
"If I break it, you might as well believe it."
It don't get no better than that lol.
5) Ocho Cinco Fined $10K For Wrong Color Chin Strap
This actually went down Friday, but I never got a chance to write about it. Officially it goes in as a "uniform violation" but where I'm from, we just call it BULLSHIT! Seriously, you fined someone for wearing a black chin strap?? I guess I could understand if it was like lime green or something, but black?? Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!
6) Jets Leon Washington Out For Season
Another blow for this New York Jets team. Leon is to the Jets what Felix Jones is to the Cowboys, but the only difference is that we have a Tashard Choice to help out as well as our starter Marion Barber. All the Jets have is Thomas Jones. Welp, we'll see how this goes.

No Blackout In Cincy Courtesy Of Ocho
Anyway, this situation should be a indicator to the NFL that they need to lift this stupid blackout rule. I know we're making strides now, but we are still in a recession and people just can't afford to pay for tickets, pay for parking, and the expensive ass food these places offer. I could see if this was a big market team and everybody was prospering around them, or if this was a losing team and people just didn't wanna pay to see their team get killed, but you think the people of Cincinnati don't want to see their 4-1 Bengals right now?? Come on, that's unrealistic! The NFL needs to stop being assholes and support the people who made it what it is and lift all blackouts in 2009!

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition
Wow, Jay-Z's stock in the Nets just shrunk by A LOT. Before he probably owned like 6 or 7%, now he owns like 0.0781%. If shit wasn't going so well for Hov he'd probably be pissed off. Instead he'll be on Oprah tomorrow. Even when he loses he still wins lol.
Of course this all means LeBron is definitely NOT leaving Cleveland after this season. Book it.
2) $100K Offer For Jordan-Russell Charity Rematch
Michael Jordan vs. Bryon Russell?? Who wants to see that?? What evidence is there to make me believe that Russell has gotten so much better in his old age that he could now take on Jordan?? I rather see them use the money to try to get a Jordan-Kobe one-on-one game or a Jordan-LeBron. There's any number of match-ups I'd rather see over Jordan-Russell, sorry.
3) Ocho Cinco Brings Back The CB List
The list is now officially called Dulce Venganza (Sweet Revenge) and he's out to get revenge for his poor play from a year ago. Next up on the list is Ike Taylor and William Gay as the Steelers head into Cincy this weekend. We'll see what happens, but there's no way the Bengals win this game and the Steelers will make them kiss the baby.
4) Marion Barber Practices
The media is only allowed to be at practice for the first 20 minutes so we don't really know how much he ended up doing, but at least he attempted to go. I'm not really worried about this though because it doesn't seem too serious and shouldn't keep him out too long so no need to rush him back when we have Felix Jones and Tashard Choice waiting in the wing.

Ocho Cinco Vs. Skip Bayless
This was truly an epic battle this morning. Unfortunately Sportafile.com (the guys who recorded the Lil Wayne and Bow Wow 1st & 10s) has kinda fallen off in the past month so all we have is this clip of the beginning to show for it. It is a great clip though because Skip was going in on Chad and then Chad came right back at him. Good stuff. I'll post the rest if I can find it online.
