It is time for a good-old fashioned 100% pure dose of brutal honesty. Sit back, fasten your seatbelts, it'll be a bumpy ride.
Congratulations to Anthony Smith for making such a jackass of himself by opening his flap and then being thoroughly and utterly embarrassed by Brady and Friends on a Sunday afternoon. I wonder what Anthony Smith was sniffing when he decided to rile up the New England Patriots, {which is the worst thing you could do} what he was sniffing on that play action pass that left Randy Moss virtually on his own planet for a TD, what he was sniffing on the flea flicker that left Jabar Gaffney open for a TD. Personally, my first thought upon hearing this was to find out who Anthony Smith was to begin with. Anthony Smith, Clear-cut winner of the unofficial "shut the hell up award."
We're only 5 days away from the New England Patriots checking the New York Jets directly into the Smackdown Hotel. The 24.5 point spread seems very lenient at this point. The Jets are in for a beatdown of the tallest order. And if you think this beatdown is bad, Imagine what the point spread against the Dolphins will be.
Apparently Jamaal Tinsley has a death wish. Apparently the recent deaths of Darrent Williams and Sean Taylor as well as numerous other close calls didn't seem to sit home. This fool decides to bring three luxury cars including a Dodge Charger to a nightclub at 3:30 in the morning. Great way to be low-key, Jamaal. He was an eyelash away from being another gunned down athlete that his team would have to mourn over. This is where it all starts. You know Larry Bird gave him the verbal smackdown in that meeting. All for it.
ESPN never fails to have you scratching your head. For the past couple of days, they have had segments in which they have a simulated playoff system with the top Ten Teams in the BCS. They spend 10 minutes, which is at least 10 minutes too many, analyzing these SIMULATED playoff games. These 10 minutes of wasted time and viewership would have better spent over analyzing and examining why there isn't a playoff system in place for the BCS to begin with. Well, that's just my thought... Until then, enjoy the regularly scheduled BS bowl games in stadiums that'll be half full and that will start at 11am in the morning....
Based on the Sonic the Hedgehog-like speed that Bobby Petrino that took off from the Atlanta Falcons and their sinking ship, it'd be a wonder if college coaches will ever venture into the NFL again. As I write this, Bobby Petrino is in a news conference doing the Arkansas Razorbacks cheer not even 24 hrs after the Falcons loss on Monday Night. At the same time, Falcons players have to feel unbelieveably pissed at the timing, namely Deangelo Hall who to say the least has NO LOVE for Petrino, and that's being kind.
I feel absolutely sorry for Mike Breen and my main man Gus Johnson. They're two of the best in the business and they have to draw the unfortunate task of calling Knicks games on a nighyly basis. Isiah Thomas needs to put himself and all of us long-suffering Knicks fans out of our own misery AND JUST RESIGN. Isiah Thomas himself dosen't want to be there anymore either. And the jawing with Knicks fans: classless. The play has gotten so brutal that any Knicks fans that stick around till the end should be paid a commission. Eddy Curry should be TRADED as in right this damn minute. So should Quentin Richardson and since no one will accept Marbury in a trade, just flat-out cut him. {With all due respect to his current situation} However, this franchise will never get back on it's feet until that prick James Dolan sells the Knicks himself or by hostile takeover. With the amount of money that the Dolans lost by trying to take Cablevision private, the takeover may happen sooner than later.
I can dream, can't I?
