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.

Yet another weekend has come to an end. But this weekend was just a little bit sweeter because there was a little thing called football on the good old television and I watched. Well… I watched 5 minutes of it… I mean it was preseason come on. But one thing that is always in season is Walkers Rants.

Thank God football is back. It will be better when it’s Aug 30 and it really counts…

Congrats to the D.C. Slayers for making the playoffs…

It sucks to be Aaron Rodgers…

Georgia’s national title run will be cut short because of their own player’s stupidity…

Why is O.J. Simpson still in the news?

Steve Smith is an idiot, but good on the Panthers to have the guts to suspend him…

And the exodus continues, more NBA players shipping out to Europe…

Really they had to film Brett’s plane landing? This has gone too damn far…

Has T.O. ever practiced in the preseason?

The Olympics start this week… Can’t say I’m excited…

Can’t believe fall rugby season is right around the corner…

Glad the Commish pushed the whole Viks-Packs thing under the rug quickly…

Good luck to all the American athletes in Beijing, well the clean ones…

I like seeing Manny in Dodger Blue…

Damn my Braves have had a horrible year one thing after another…

I want to play the new Madden, I need a distraction…

UVA will beat USC this year…

How are the Red Sox going to feel when they miss the playoffs and lost Manny?

I really hate preseason football last night game was a complete throwaway…

I’m so glad to at least know there is some football on the air…

I’m excited to see the Vols play just so I can hear Rocky Top…

O.J. is still in the news? Huh, I should really start watching the news again if that's the case.

He was in the news the other day in Naked Gun as Officer Nordberg:


Officer Nordberg: Drugs.....


Frank Drebin: Drugs, doctor, quick, get this man some drugs!


(Doctor inserts drugs)


Officer Nordberg: Heroin......


Drebin: (leans in) That's a pretty tall order Nordberg, you'll have to give me a couple of days on that one.

If you have Xbox Live or the Playstation Network, there is a demo of Madden available for download.. I'm trying to use that towel trick to bring back my red-ring-of-death 360 back to life so I can play..

You snap the towel at the 360?

Nah, you wrap it up in towels and let it run for 30 minutes. It heats up the 360 and usually the red rings of death go away anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Wouldn't that just block up all the vents for the heat to escape from it, so the whole thing explodes/combusts? What a great idea!

Honestly, who couldn't see this "exodus" (I call it a mini exodus) coming? It always baffled me why players would choose to be the 7th or 8th man in the NBA and make pennies compared to Trajan Langdon and JR Holden who star in the Euroleague. Now that the dollar is weak and Euro clubs pay your taxes and give you a house and car WHY NOT? Why not go and star and set yourself up financially?

If I'm Aaron Rodgers, I want to be traded immediately.


Why put up with this BS when Favre will keep coming back?


The other option Rodgers has (besides staying as a backup) involves some duct tape and a knife but let's not go there.

His third option is to continue to collect his paycheck and smile and be the "good guy" so that next summer he can cash in on free agency

UVA is NOT going to beat USC, in all honesty UVA is going to be lucky if they go 6-6.

Wrong, they are a 7 win, possible 8 if lightning can strike several times.

I have a "5%-if" rule: subtract 5% of the season for each time you say "if" when predicting a team's season. I'll count your "if lightning can strike several times" as several (3-4) ifs, meaning Cornfed's about nailed it at 6-6.
BTW, this rule originated a year and a half ago when a friend was telling me how good the Texas Rangers would be in '07 then followed it with 5 ifs.

......Followed by a few more blowout wins, and then a close win against lowly U-Dub in Pac-10 play, a road loss to another Pac-10 team, followed by a loss against another lowly Pac-10 team, and have yet another Rose Bowl win.

USC will beat UVA, but Ohio State will come to town and beat up on the trojans. Just had to get that in there, my best friend loves USC. I am Buckeye and Husky fan. Watch out for Locker to be in the Heisman running, move over Tebow, theres a new kid on the block.
