Derrick Thomas…Hall of Fame. Sounds good. DT was/is my favorite player of all time. He should’ve been a first ballot Hall of Famer, no question. There was no linebacker more feared in his generation. Owns 2 of the 4 top single game sack totals, including 7 against Seattle. I don’t think the Chiefs had that many combined this year. If recently de-throned King Carl speaks at his induction, that bastard better keep it focused on DT, and not himself. Congrats DT, you deserve it!
Rejoice! Herm Edwards has been fired…finally. Bad news, the Chiefs are possibly looking at Chan Gailey as a replacement. Which would just be going from bad to worse. Former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is apparently another we’re looking at. I’m not so sure about that, though if anyone can right the sinking ship that is Larry Johnson, it’s Shanahan. As long as we don’t hire Gailey things can only get better.
Well the draft has come and gone and I’m pretty happy with how things went down. Chiefs really scored with their first 4 picks. Would’ve liked to have seen them take at least one offensive lineman with one of their third round picks. But can’t complain when we get possibly the best player in the draft in Glenn Dorsey and an offensive lineman who may be the steal of the draft in Branden Albert. Follow that up with the hard hitting Brandon Flowers out of VT, and the fast as all hell Jamaal Charles and I actually look forward to next year…unfortunately Herm will almost guaranteed ruin all chances at a respectable season. Fuckin’ Herm.
Roger Clemens keeps digging himself deeper and deeper. Apparently he had a 10 year affair with Oxycontin spokeswoman, convict, and part-time country singer Mindy McCready. Which apparently began when she was only 15. I guess he never heard the saying “15 will get you 20″. He went by the motto, “Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed”. Of course he “flatly denied” all accusations through his lawyer. Which of course comes on the heels of him “flatly denying” his use of performance enhancing drugs. Unfortunately for him Mindy McCready today denied nothing, and all but confirmed the affair. Clemens, grade A douche bag.
The Orlando Magic won their first playoff series since 1996, and it’s about time. After Shaq and Penny left the Magic way back when, I quit the sport for about 10 years, so I missed all of their struggles and just came back to Basketball this year. Them winning…Coincidence?…I think not! Side note: Dwight Howard is the Bomb Diggity yo! Averaging 21pts and 18 boards in the series.
My other team, the Braves, not fairing as well. Tom Glavine on the DL for the first time in his long career(he is back today however), Mike Hampton’s 20 million a year fragile ass, Smoltzies shoulder acting up, Mike Gonzalez still out, our most consistent reliever Peter Moylan on the 15 day DL, and our Closer also on the 15 day DL makes for a bad patchwork pitching staff.
Then you got Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar playing hurt. Only bright spot thus far is Jurrjens is pitching really well. Hopefully things get turned around but I’m not optimistic. Side note: Braves need more TV time…fuckin’ TBS!
NFC won the Pro Bowl…yaaaaawn
The greatest coach of all time, Bob Knight, stepped down this week. Be nice to see him come back and go for 1000 wins, but that’s just me being selfish.
The stupidest trade of all time went down as the Suns traded away midget arm, malcontent Shawn Marion for big, old, slow, Shaquille O’Neal. He’s gonna kill the Suns. I just don’t see how this trade is in any way good for the Suns. Meanwhile, the Heat are looking much better for the future with that huge contract off their shoulders.
NBA predictions…Finals? Hmmm. Celtics vs Jazz…a ratings nightmare. Finals MVP, Kevin Garnett. League MVP Chris Paul. Hope the Magic do well too. I’m a Magic fan going back to Shaq/Penny/Nick Anderson/Dennis Scott days.
Kansas basketball continues to roll since Beasley and company defeated them a couple weeks back. My final four picks…Kansas, Duke, UCLA, and Indiana. North Carolina is over-rated and Memphis has even worse free throw shooting than Kansas. A Kansas/Memphis showdown would be fun to watch though.
Quick note on my last post. After reading my own post. I’ve come to the conclusion, that I much prefer Nas to Jay-Z. Now back to your regularly scheduled post.
Playoffs have begun and Patriots just keep trucking along. Tom fuckin’ Brady was 26 for 28 passing and one of those incompletion’s was a drop by Wes Welker. God that fucker sucks. Slot machine is right. Put all your money into him and get shit back in return. I kid, I kid. I picked the San Diego upset. I’d be up by one game on the Digital Gathering “Pick the Pro’s” if I hadn’t forgot about the Green Bay game. I almost picked the Giants as well, but thought two big upsets was too much to ask. So now, it’s Pats/Chargers and Pack/Giants. Who would’ve thunk it. I bet Tiki’s kickin’ himself right now. I think they got a good chance to beat the Pack. Not so sure about the Chargers.
The Jayhawks opened up conference play yesterday with a blowout of Nebraska. Brandon Rush decided to make an appearance, and led the team with 19pts as he was raining 3′s. They’re still undefeated as they head to Oklahoma tomorrow. A Memphis/KU match up would be a fun ass game to watch no matter the outcome. Side note: Brandon Rush will be a bust in the NBA and Kareem Rush is the more talented brother.
I wish there was some hard evidence on Clemens and Bonds. I also wish I could watch Baseball without talk of roids every 5 minutes. Move the fuck on. Make the penalties more strict and kick the users the fuck out. The penalties right now are lame as fuck.
Hockey is not a sport. I’d rather watch paint dry.
Tony Kornheiser is an idiot. He said a few days back that the Celtics were the 4th best team in the East. Behind the Pistons, Magic, and the fuckin Bulls. The Bulls for gods sake! Side note: Dwight Howard is a beast. If he could shoot free throws, he’d be a consistent 30point scorer. Even still, he’s the most dominant big man in the game.
2 to go. Mike Solari, offensive retard coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs is no more. Fired today after a horrible season for the Chiefs in his first year as an offensive retard coordinator.
Now we just need to lose Herm and Carl Peterson and I’m a happy camper. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s happening. Maybe we’ll get an offensive coordinator in who can open Herm up a little…and Peterson will patch up the offensive line whether through the draft or free agency.
I’m not optimistic.
Well, I think it’s long past the time to start looking forward to next season. We’re beyond done this year. Last I looked, they were down 41-7 to the fuckin’ Broncos.
Other news, at least we’re not the Dolphins.
Kansas Football got their first loss of the season yesterday 
Kansas basketball won in overtime in a very competitive game today
Herm loss another one for the Chiefs. This time HORRIBLE clock management is the blame
That is all
The Priest Holmes experiment is ova! Apparently he re-injured his neck late in the game Sunday. Word is, he’s expected to announce his retirement today. It was a small miracle he was able to come back at all. Glad he’s getting out now, before things get worse.
Side note: That Michael Bennett trade ain’t looking too great. We’re down to just one back now in Kolby Smith…not comforting.
Best quote I’ve heard concerning the Chiefs…
“You could turn this offensive unit over to Heidi Fleiss, stuff a 39-gallon Hefty bag with hundred-dollar bills, lather the players in Brut aftershave, ship them all to Nevada’s Mustang Ranch, and they still couldn’t score.” – Jason Whitlock
Solari’s a retard and Herm needs to quit head coaching and stick with being a defensive coordinator. At least I didn’t hear Kris Wilson’s name all game. The constant quick passes to Bowe was quite frustrating however. Priest isn’t a workhorse anymore either. He’s good for MAYBE 15 carries. Get the rook some carries. He looked decent. D-Bowe and Jared Allen are awesome however…correction, fuckin’ awesome!
