About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

After a Short Tour, Walker's Rants are Back

Alright after a little bit of time off Walker’s Rants are back.  We spent the last week on the road, going on a short tour with the D.C. Slayers’ and currently we are broadcasting from Fayetteville North Carolina so stop on by and grab a beer with us.  Now we may have been a little quiet but you can guarantee we got something to say, and I’m looking at you Brett Favre.

Driving to Jacksonville sucks…

The Packers are idiots for allowing Brett to get away so easily…

I hate the Home Run Derby…

Bench clearing brawls are a lot of fun…

It’s sad when Canseco getting knocked out gets more publicity than the heavy weight champion knocking someone out…

How is Billy Packer out at CBS? Now that’s an announcing switch worth getting upset about…

I can honestly say I won’t watch more than 1 maybe 2 innings of the All Star game…

Brett stay at home and try to salvage the legacy, you’re too good for this…

Kyle Bush is good for NASCAR…

Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman will make a solid team…

Yankee Stadium about to torn down, fenway and Wrigley you’re on deck…

I need football season to start…

Wade Phillips will lose his job at the end of the season…

Aaron Rogers will never be able to live this down.  He better win a Super Bowl this year…

Three teams that will disappoint you this football season, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants…

U.V.A. will beat USC in the season opener…

An SEC team will not win the National title this year…

Three teams that will surprise you this upcoming season; New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets…

Aaron Rogers has replaced Eli Manning as my "Guy I Feel Sorry for Because He Gets Shit For Absolutely No Reason". It's ridiculous...he has said all of the right things and done what's been asked of him, yet here is this attention-seeking shenanigan bringing all of this crap onto him (none of which he asked for or deserved), and he's now our favorite punchline. He has handled the pressure so far, hopefully it won't get to him and he WILL be the GB starter when September rolls around. He even cut his hair! Leave this guy alone!

Yeah, I agree, I mean he did make 1 comment on Rome that was out of line saying he didn't care what Packer fans thought, dumb idea. Besides that, Rogers will catch crap his entire tenure in Green Bay and anything short of a Super Bowl will be a disappointment, and that's a shame considering the guy has brittle bones and will spend time on the Injury list not the place to be when following sports greatest ironman

Meg, I agree with everything except Rogers handling the pressure. Let's see the guy take a snap before make that judgment.
I also agree with BPP--Rogers is doomed.

I quasi-agree about the giants...if your expectation is another super bowl run, then yes but amongst the football versed I think its playoffs really

I think the giants will scrap to 8-8 (or around there) and miss the playoffs, but its not terribly surprising given their QB play and secondary...

As for the Vikings? They're not surprising anyone...

If Troy Williamson catches 95 passes and drops just 7 passes all season then we can talk about surprising.


The Vikings can only disappoint, they should be the contenders.

! Well, SSR, you made a right mess of that.


He's on the Vikings in my heart, so fast, yet so awful.


I think Garrard is smart enough not to throw it to him, but to the Prima donna named Jerry Porter.

I have to agree that driving to Jacksonville is awful. I had a girlfriend that lived there, god awful drive full of nothingness. And didn't Canseco claim that he has some sort of black belt? And USC will not lose a non-conference game. Much less to UVA. Sorry, not happenin.

It's more fun, I couldn't watch the whole fight it was that boring. Klitschko doesn't dominate anyone, he just punches 3 times and holds, 2 jabs and an overhand right hook and hold, rinse, wash, repeat.


Vladimir is just lucky that there is no one, and I mean no one, in the heavyweight division that can beat him up.


Tony Thompson is 144 years old and he was supposed to be knocked out, just not that late in the fight.

But, Klitschko got jobbed in his match against Lewis. He was dominating the fight and then a cut that was opened on a headbut ended up forcing the fight to an early end. All of this Klitschko talk wouldn't exist if the ref had called that first title fight correctly.

Eh... I go back an forth with that fight, Klitschko dominated the bout, but that cut was nasty and he was hurt by it. Just one o those breaks in boxing.

Yet somehow Mayweather is praised for an even more boring strategy:

  • jab
  • dodge
  • dip
  • dive
  • duck
  • dodge
  • repeat

Maybe it's because watching heavyweights doing it at a slower pace effects our thinking?

Ding Ding Ding, I agree. Mayweather is a dancer and he may be the fastest boxer I've seen but his fights aren't interesting. The problem is people want to see a Rocky style fight and those just don't happen, and there just aren't many brawling style boxers unless you go down tot he welter weight guys.
