Random 'Two Cents' In The Wake Of The Super Bowl

February 8th 2010 14:43
Drew Brees holding Lombardi Trophy


** Drew Brees and the Saints deserved that win yesterday. They went out and earned it. What a display of accuracy by Mr. Brees.

** I’m tired of the “Peyton Manning is 9-9 in playoff games and he blew another one yesterday”, talk. Enough. Because the bottom line is this: If you don’t have access to the game film when judging any of these QB's, you really can’t judge their whole body of work. How many perfect throws did Manning make into tight coverage in that game yesterday? Tons. Unless you see the game film and can say, “look, he missed this guy…he missed that guy…etc.”, you can’t say it’s all on him. The QB’s in this league get way too much credit when things are good and way too much blame when they aren’t. How about the fact that the Saints might’ve smothered his receivers and Manning didn’t have much to work with yesterday? Just askin'. Football is a team game. I’m tired of the whole “how many rings does your QB have” used as a measuring stick all the time. That constitutes some of the story, not all.

** Reggie Bush is an amazing raw talent, but was he a worthy #2 pick in the NFL Draft? Will he ever turn into a productive feature back and be a guy you give the ball to 20 times a game? Or will he always play the 'part time weapon' role?

** The onsides kick by the Saints to start the second half was complete horseshit. That was an awful, awful call by Sean Payton. It worked out. Good for him, but an awful decision. You’re down 10-6 to start the second half and you pull that call out of your ass? If the Colts fall on that ball, game over, IMO. Peyton drives 35-40 yards for a TD and all the Saints are wondering why their coach didn’t have confidence in them to play the Colts man up and instead starting pulling gimmick plays out of his ass. Luckily for Payton, it worked.

** Colts DE Dwight Freeney came out of the gates on fire yesterday. He was pressuring Brees hard core. In the end, the injury was too much and it resulted in barely any pressure being put on the Saints QB in the second half. Brees could stand back there and calmly put the ball wherever he wanted against that non-pressuring Colts D.

** The shot of Brees holding his one year old son after he won was amazing. What a feeling that must be to experience.

** Fave commercial? I’ll go with the Doritos one where the kid warns the guy (who appears to be picking up his Mom for a date) to keep his hands off his mother after he catches him staring at her nicely shaped buns. Otherwise, not a strong showing for our advertising peeps of the world.

Asshat Of The Week---Milwaukee Man Robbing His Mama

February 7th 2010 15:38
Asshat, TCFB


(From Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel )

A 21-year-old man whose mother shot him in the groin Thursday night told police he was trying to be funny by wearing a ski mask and pretending to rob her, but investigators aren't necessarily buying his story, a Milwaukee police spokesman said Friday.

Police are trying to determine if the man was actually trying to rob his 37-year-old mother, Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said.

The man said he pretended to rob his mother behind their house in the 3700 block of N. 13th St. as she returned from shopping about 9 p.m., according to a statement from the police department.

His mother drew a .357-caliber revolver and fired several shots, hitting her son at least twice, the statement says.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I was going to attempt to test the ole 'awareness of my surroundings' factor on my own Ma, on April Fools Day 2010. Way to rain on my parade you rotten no good bratwurst eating Milwaukeean.

I figured, I'd let Ma get home from the supermarket with her bundles and as she entered the house, I'd 40 yard dash it to the front door from my car with a realistic looking cap gun and a mask on my head. I'd attempt to start swiping her groceries like I do all the time when I'm visiting, but this time I'd be stepping it up a notch as a stick up man to make sure the ole lady can still handle herself under some adverse circumstances. Oh well, I'll think of something else, Ma.

Welcome to the club young man. You are a true Asshat. E-mail me to collect your medal.

Ted Williams..Brett Hull..Babe Ruth & More...TCFB Turning Back The Clock

February 6th 2010 17:02
TCFB Turning Back The Clock


Ted Williams signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox that was worth $135,000. The contract made him the highest paid player in major league history (1958)

Brett Hull (St. Louis Blues) and his father Bobby Hull, became the only father-son combination in NHL history to score 50 goals in a season. (1990)

The New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX. It was the 3rd win in four years for the Patriots (2005)

Happy Birthday to the following people...If any of you are dead now and I missed the news, I apologize. I'm trying to be nice here.

Happy 115th to George Herman (Babe) Ruth. Enjoy the day Babe!

Happy 29th to Patriots defensive lineman, Ty Warren.

And for my two non-sports related birthdays....

Happy 17th to my stepson, Matt. Even though you think you're a big man now, enjoy your youth! Plenty of time to be a man, trust me.

Happy 48th to Guns N' Roses lead man, Axl Rose .

Hey Beantown Chowdaheads...It's Jim Plunkett...Remember Me??

February 5th 2010 17:39
Jim Plunkett, New England Patriots


Jim Plunkett was the #1 overall pick in the 1971 NFL Draft, by your Boston Patriots. They were not officially the New England Patriots until a short while thereafter.

Plunkett won the Heisman in 1970 while leading Stanford to a Rose Bowl victory over ‘The’ Ohio State University.

Jimmy’s best year as a Patriot probably came in 1974 when he threw for 2457 yards and 19 TD’s on a very mediocre Pats team. The Pats weren’t exactly what you would call a powerhouse during Plunkett’s tenure. Poor offensive line play led to Plunkett taking way too many chances with the football and led to quite a few interceptions before he was ushered out of New England and the Steve Grogan era began.

Plunkett went on to win two Super Bowls with the Raiders after a brief stint in San Francisco and was the 1980 Super Bowl MVP. You see, those were the days where you didn’t ‘come’ to New England for a chance to win. You ‘left’ New England for a chance to win.

What have you been up to Jimmy? Shoot me an e-mail at the site. Smitty and I would love to take you for a brewski sometime.

(For Jim Plunkett’s complete body of work in the NFL, check out Football-Reference )

Random ‘Two Cents’ On Super Bowl Sunday

February 5th 2010 15:00
Tony Eason throwing in Super Bowl XX


** Biggest mismatch in Super Bowl History, IMO, was the ‘nail biter’ that took place back in Super Bowl XX. Pats vs. Bears. Boy, did my Pats really battle in that epic matchup. The highlight of the game for us Pats fans came about 3 minutes into the game when Tony Franklin took off his sock and kicked a bare foot FG to make it 3-zip Pats. There have been other SB blowouts of course, but that Pats team had no right being on the same field as Chicago that day. What a beating.

** People always say, “I can’t believe the Patriots lost that Super Bowl to the Giants?” I say, “I can’t believe the Patriots lost that EFFIN 2006 AFC Title game against the Colts!” My God, that was brutal. Of course, like any glutton for punishment, I watched the second half of that game on NFL Network the other night. To think, the fraudulent Chicago Bears were waiting to get spanked like bad little girls for what they did to us back in SB XX. Oh well.

Drew Brees throwing,New Orleans Saints

** Saints QB, Drew Brees, is listed at 6’0’’ tall. This really means he’s probably 5’11’’. Doug Flutie was 5’10’’. See, you can be on the shorter size and be a legit star QB. Flutie was a ‘Little Engine That Could’ feel good story who was way overrated by people because of his size. Sorry Doug, it’s true.

** I would be lying if I said that the loss of Colts star DE Dwight Freeney didn’t make a difference, because it does. But I’m still sticking with the Colts in a tight, high scoring matchup on Sunday.

** Peyton Manning---it turns out---isn’t the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. I just found out that it’s some guy named, Jim Caldwell.

pizza

* The pizza industry estimates roughly 350 slices of pizza will be eaten per second of the game. Think about that. 350 slices per goddamn second!

** I don’t know about you, but I’m anxiously counting down the minutes til I hear ‘The Who’ perform the CSI theme song at halftime.

** The statement above is not really true. I can wait. I can wait for a long, long time.

Chad Ochochinco,OCNN

** Seeing Chad Ochodinko and his crew parading around with their OCNN (Ocho Cinco News Network) hats and shirts on while trying to score interviews like every other media member at the Super Bowl, reminds me of why I can’t hate this guy. He stays out of trouble and has a lot of good, clean fun with his life.

Chris Johnson Tells Us All That Coach Fisher’s Whole Game Plan Was About Him

February 4th 2010 17:30
Chris Johnson,Tennessee Titans


Check out what Tennessee Titans Running Back Extraordinaire, Chris Johnson, had to say about his coach, Jeff Fisher, divulging his gameplan for him to get CJ his 2000 yard season.

"I don't know if [Jeff Fisher] wants me to say this, but the whole gameplan was me getting 2,000 yards," Johnson said Wednesday, wearing a cardigan sweater and plaid shirt.

"He had a meeting with the whole team and he told us that we don't have a chance to make the playoffs, so us winning the game really don't matter. So if it causes us to lose the game to get 2,000 yards, then we'll do that it. . . . So I give a lot of credit to Jeff Fisher."

Chris…Chris…Chris. It really doesn’t take a genius to figure out the fact that Coach Fish (aka by me as: Coach WAFSOS…..that stands for ‘Why Always Frozen Snot On Stache’) probably didn’t want that getting out. But you tell the world anyway, eh?

It hasn't been the easiest year for Coach Fisher. He wore a Peyton Manning jersey as a joke to a Nashville fundraiser when introducing Tony Dungy earlier in the season and was crucified for two weeks afterward! Crucified! Then he throws you a proverbial bone in the season finale and you return the favor by talking to the media in a fashion that makes me think you might’ve actually smoked up the bone he threw you. Like the immortal Ice Cube once said, “Check yo self before you wreck yo self”, CJ. Have a little tact.

Coach, think twice before opening your mouth again in front of CJ. Some things are better left unsaid. Just hand him the ball 40 times and let him get his 2000 yard season in the books. He’ll eventually hopefully figure out what you’re trying to accomplish in a meaningless season finale. No words necessary. Enjoy the offseason, WAFSOS.

The Very Classy Plaxico Burress Was Hungry Before Shooting Himself In Pecker Region

February 4th 2010 14:30
Plaxico shot himself with his own gat


Check out this interview with Serafina Fiore by Robert Siegel that I read on Deadspin. It's a testimonial to the classy nature of one, Plaxico Burress.

Fiore manages HeadQuarters Gentlemen’s Club in New York. Siegel asks her about different athletes that come into the establishment. It’s a great piece … The best part to me was when Fiore talks about Plaxico Burress coming into the club on the NIGHT of the whole shooting himself in the pecker region incident. Priceless… A man’s gotta eat on Thanksgiving! That’s what I say… See below…

He was at your club that night, right?

The night with the shooting, it didn't happen at our club, but he was at our club right before that. I have to be honest with you, he was a little bit of a jerkoff. He was standing on the bar, he was standing on the tables, just like bouncing off the walls. It was Thanksgiving weekend, and we had a Thanksgiving buffet. Some of the guys from the club made a Thanksgiving dinner for our employees... turkey, stuffing, this nice buffet for everybody who came to work. So Plaxico, like, crashes the buffet. We were like, "Who is this? He doesn't work for the club!" He was, like, reaching in and grabbing pieces of turkey while our guy was still carving it. So low class. Very low class.

Did you know it was Plaxico?

Yeah. He had his sweats on. I mean, who runs around with a gun in their sweatpants? Not a smart guy.

Can somebody explain to me why CBS is wasting their time by sending in Bill Cowher to interview this stupidsonbitch in the slammer on Super Sunday? Why? Maybe his ole ball coach will bring him a turkey to attack while we listen to him repent.

Ohio State 1960 Basketball Champs Wreak A Little Havoc

February 3rd 2010 22:24
1960 Ohio State Basketball Champs


The 1960 Ohio State basketball team got a little rowdy while celebrating the 50th Reunion of their championship season in their hotel room. The hotel manager had to pay a visit to their room.


Gotta love the spirit of these old Ohio State fossils. I mean they’re approaching 70 years old and still kicking ass and taking names.

These ole tools were blaring a little ‘60’s ‘Born To Be Wild’ Steppenwolf and the other guests at the hotel couldn’t take it? Do these people realize that this is the goddamn 1960 OSU Hoop team in the house? Put the women and children to bed (except for your 18 year old daughters.. Send them to room 202), it’s time to effin rock & roll! We gonna make it rain up in here!

How awesome would it have been if Bobby Knight( who did play on the 1960 OSU team) answered the door when the hotel manager knocked on the door to quiet the hell raisers down?

Knight: “I got this boys…..step away Havlicek, I said I’ve got this!”…..

Knight: (opening door, staring with that menacing glare)“What do you want, you little zit faced moron?”

Manager Boy: “Sir, I’m sorry, but if you wouldn’t mind quieting down, the guests are complaining and you actually are acting a little out of order up here.”

Knight: (red faced, upset & now screaming) “Well..…you..…little..…piece… .. of….. shit! Are you criticizing me? Maybe you haven’t heard, but when my time on earth is gone and my activities here are passed, I want them to bury me upside down so my critics like you can kiss my ass! Now go home to Mommy you little puke!” [Knight hurls a chair into hallway & manager boy urinates on himself and heads to elevator; hellraising resumes]
