I get knocked down, but I get up again.  You’re never going to keep me down!  -Chumbawumba

Public Service Announcement:  No, we’re not talking about tee-shirts.  We’re not like Mr. Hooper.  We’re not talking about treasure boating or day sailing.   No we’re talking about the real wife beaters.  Today we bid adieu to a real wife beater.  Today we bid adieu to Bobby Cox.   I’ve heard people say, “Bobby Cox did it the right way.”  If by the right way you mean getting arrested by police at his home, jailed overnight and being charged with simple battery after punching his wife and pulling her hair, then ya, sure.  Pulling her hair?  C’mon you sissy, knock it off.  After the jump, we’ll look at other members of the All Wife Beating team.          Read More »

Come see victory in a land called fantasy.  Loving life to a new degree.  Bring your mind to everlasting liberty,  -Earth Wind & Fire

Public Service Announcement:  Here it comes!  Here comes football season.  The thrills.  The spills.  Oh, the humanity!  Like my main man Knute Rockne always says, “Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders, but mostly from the neck up.”  Fantasy football is played from the neck up.  To win, you have to be smart.  Not like Fredo.  Like dumb.  You have to be smart to get respect.  That’s where I come in.  Everybody knows about Drew Brees.  Everybody knows about Adrian Peterson.  Everybody knows about Andre Johnson.  It’s the other guys you have to know about.  The sleepers I’m here to crow about.  So let’s get to this.  Like we always knew this.  The Fantasy Football All-Sleeper Team:       Read More »

Lucky there’s a family guy.  Lucky there’s a man who, positively can do, all the things that make us laugh and cry.  He’s a family guy!  -Family Guy

Public Service Announcement:  I do love me some Family Guy.  I do love me some sports.  Put ‘em together what do you get?  You get a whole boatload of fun.  A ton of fun. An overabundance of fun. A gaggle of fun.  A barrel full of monkeys of fun.  A plethora of fun.  Like my main El Guapo always says, “You just told me I have a plethora and I would like to know if you know what a plethora is.  I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.”  I know what it means to have a plethora.  So let’s do this.  Like we always knew this.  Like my man Jerry Lewis.  Let’s all have us some Family Guy fun, shall we?  Sure we shall.  And awaaaaay we go!  Read More »

It’s just another manic Monday.  I wish it was Sunday.  ‘Cause that’s my funday.  My I don’t have to runday.  It’s just another manic Monday.  -The Bangles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Like my main Frank Gifford always says,”Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.”  Well, did you survive?  Huh?  Did ya?  Good.  Now let’s see who else survived.  Let’s see who else stayed alive. Ah ah ah ah stayin’ alive.  Shall we?  Sure we shall.               Read More »

Well it’s Monday night and we’re ready to rock!  Time to get all the hits, the bangs and the blocks.  It’s the game of the week that’s comin’ your way.  The Cowboys and the Panthers are ready to play.  -Hank Williams Jr.

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Monday Night Football.  The Thrills.  The spills.  Oh, the humanity!  You won’t hear Dennis Miller say, “The Cowboy’s defense has more holes in it than Ronny Milsapp and Jose Feliciano after a game of lawn darts.”  You won’t hear Al Michaels say, “No shit.”  You won’t even hear Howard Cosell calling anybody a little monkey.  But here are five things for you to watch for:      Read More »

By now, most sports fan know the story of Current Phillies and formers Astros closer Brad Lidge.  He gave up one game-tying home run and he took three years to recover.  Is Jake Delhomme doomed to same the fate? Read More »

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better, a little better, all the time.  I have to admit it’s getting better, it’s getting better, since you’ve been mine.  -The Beatles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Remember when Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel got traded to Kansas City for a bag of balls?  Remember folks like Jay Mariotti said stuff like, “Sorry, but something smells here, and it’s not the beans and potato salad.”  Remember that?  Well, that bag of balls, those beans and potato salad, are about to land a four-time Pro Bowl defensive end.  That bag of balls, those beans and potato salad, are about to land another ring to the fingers of the New England Patriots.  That bag of balls, those beans and potato salad are about to land Julius Peppers.  That smell Jay?  Maybe your mouth is too close to your nose.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

Star of the day, who will it be? Your vote will hold the key. It’s up to you. Tell us who, will be star of the day. -Community Auditions

Brass Bonanza:  Ok, here we go!  Just in case you didn’t know.  Maybe you didn’t hear about it, you’ve been away a long time.  They didn’t go up there and tell you.  They didn’t go up there and tell you the Brass Bonanza Award is given to the week’s biggest loser.  Brass Bonanza was the Hartford Whalers fight song.  Need I say more?     Read More »

From the just so you know department.  As we are all well aware, The Cardinals (3-5 on the road this season) upset the Panthers (8-0 at home this season) and advanced to the NFC Championship Game.  Just so you know, there had been 12 previous NFL postseason games in which a team that had been undefeated at home during the regular season hosted an opponent that had a sub-.500 road record.  Only one of those 12 road teams emerged with a victory.  Only the ’96 Jags.  Just so you know.

Ravens 13  Titans 10:  I’m not picking against the Ravens again.  Nevermore, nevermore.  I’m not picking against Joe Flacco again.  Nevermore, nevermore.  Everyone knew the Ravens D was gonna be rough, but did we know Joe Flacco would play so tough?  The first rookie QB to win two postseason games did it with poise.  Did it with grace.  You can’t have “a little grace.” You either have grace, or you…don’t.  And you can’t acquire grace.  Grace isn’t something you can pick up at the market.  Read More »
