Cam Newton Goes #1 & Other NFL Draft Ish

Hide ya hoes, hide ya wives Carolina, Cam Newton is coming to town! And that especially going out to you brothas out there with white girls because there's something about Cam that just screams "I love white women!" It's all good, gotta get it how you live.

As far as the football side of things go, I think it was a good pick. You need a quarterback and butts in seats and that's exactly what Cam brings. I think he'll be find as long as they don't try to change him too much and just let him play his game.

Before we talk about everybody else, lets talk about the Cowboys pick of Tyron Smith. I'm happy with it. Yes, I was hoping Patrick Peterson would continue to fall to my 'Boys (FUCK the Cardinals!), and yes, we already have a left tackle, but regardless of who plays right or left, I'm glad we addressed our needs this year. I love the guys on our O-line, but they're getting up there age wise.

Tomorrow we have the 8th pick of the 2nd round (or the 40th overall) and I'm hoping for UM's CB Brandon Harris. Of course since I just said that, he'll be off the board first, but that's who I have my sights set on next.

Anyway, the biggest surprised of the draft (to me) was obviously Nick Fairley falling all the way down to 13th. This is a guy people were talking about going #1 overall back in February, that's insane. And now he's teamed up with Ndamukong Suh in Detroit? Man, it's about to be a problem! The biggest surprise to everyone else was the Titans taking Jake Locker at #7. I didn't see it coming either, but damn, Nick Fairley was the 13th overall pick! That's crazy.

The biggest steal of the draft was EASILY Mark Ingram at #28 by the Saints. The best running back in the draft by didn't go until 28 overall. That's just weird, but it was a damn good move by the Saints. That should pay off for them immediately.

The last thing I wanted to speak about was Julio Jones. Atlanta traded up to get Julio with the 6th pick, but fuck all that, did you see this nigga's hair? Buddy had a ghetto mullet, fade in the front, dreads in the back. I never seen that shit in my life! I'm seriously considering throwing him in the 2011 L.A.M.E. Awards for "Lamest Hair (Male)." That seems very necessary right now. More on that at a later date.

(Draft side note: I'm so happy everybody booed the fuck out of Roger Goodell at the beginning, that was fucking AWESOME! I hope that was a really real realization that he and the owners loss and that they need to take that L and move on.)

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

1) Andrew Luck Stays In School
The face Andrew Luck is making in this picture is directed at the Carolina Panthers organization and all of their fans.

In all seriousness though, I don't see why Luck would go back to school for his senior season other than just not wanting to play for the Panthers. I don't buy the whole "I want to school" bullshit, it's college, you can finish whenever you want. And as Matt Leinart has shown, just because you're the top prospect this year, doesn't mean you'll be the top prospect next year. Strike while the iron is hot I say, but oh well, it's not my life.

2) Mark Ingram Enters NFL Draft; So Does Ryan Mallet
Good, fuck the NCAA, go get that money.

3) Kobe Leads All-Star Voting
I don't know how much the All-Star Game being in L.A. has to do with it, but regardless, it's amazing what winning can do for a guy's image.

On another All-Star note, if the starters were announced today Carmelo Anthony would be the other forward opposite Kevin Durant, but what happens if he gets traded in the upcoming weeks?? And yes, this is a serious question.

4) Dolphins Decide To Keep Tony Sparano
I'm not shocked, there was no way the Dolphins were gonna pay Jim Harbaugh $7-8 million to coach.

Welp Dolphans, prepare for another year of irrelevance.

5) Mike Tyson Gets A New Show About His Love For Pigeons
The show, "Taking On Tyson," will be a 6-part "docudrama" on Animal Planet. That's right, and you can follow Iron Mike as he deals with "the creme de la creme of the pigeon world" starting March 6th.

Random News Shit: Sports Recap 12/10-12/13

December 10th

Brian Kelly To Replace Charlie Weis As Notre Dame Head Coach
Yet another reason to hate the NCAA. This is so fucked up! Dez Bryant can't go visit Deion Sanders, but Brian Kelly can interview for, and accept a job at another school during the season. I don't blame those kids at Cincinnati for being pissed, their leader is allowed to abandon them before the biggest game in school history (the Sugar Bowl against Florida). If a kid wants to trade schools, he has to sit out a season, a coach can just leave whenever they feel like it. Again, fucked up!

December 11th

Tiger Woods Leaves Golf Indefinitely
To be fair, Tiger probably wouldn't have played in any of these upcoming small touraments at the top of the year regardless. I say he comes back for the Masters in April. After all, we all know Tiger only cares about the majors.

December 12th

Kobe Bryant Fractures Bone In Right Index Finger
This seemed like a bigger deal back on the 12th when it happened. Definitely more so than it does now, 1 day after he hit 39 and a game-winner against the Bucks in Milwaukee.

Kansas Hires Gill Turner
Its about time the fucked up NCAA benefited a black man.

Penn State's Women Volleyball Team Wins 100th Straight
I'm not down with the NCAA, but I love that women's volleyball! Those fine ass girls in those tiny ass shorts, its great. In fact, we need more women's volleyball on TV. I don't care if it broadcasts on Lifetime, I'd watch! This picture says it all.

...And don't even get me started on beach volleyball! My, my, my!

Mark Ingram Wins 75th Heisman Throphy
A lot of college sports shit late last week, maybe that's why I checked out mentally?? Whatever. Can you believe Ingram was the first player in Alabama history to win the Heisman?? I can't. I mean, of course I don't really care, but that's still pretty remarkable.

December 13th

Brandon Marshall Breaks T.O.'s NFL Record With 21 Catches
This guy is a BEAST! His 21 catches were obviously the most on his team (duh lol), but it was more than the Colts had as a team! The most amazing part of this story is that the Broncos lost. If I told you Brandon Marshall was gonna explode for 21 catches and 200 yards, you would've told me the Colts would suffer their first loss of the season. But they didn't. That says a lot about the Colts.

DeMarcus Ware Carted Off With Neck Sprain
Ware seems to be just fine now and may play Saturday night so this is whatever now.
