Back with week 6

Well 6 days off and I'm back. This wrap is based solely on highlights as i spent my Sunday at Centurylink Field in Seattle getting made fun of by Seahawks fans because the pats feel they can coast through second halves when they have the lead.

So lets start it off with the game I was at. Pats played really well first half and got a nice lead going into half time. A couple shitty intentional grounding calls didn't help but it was the inability to move the ball in the second half that killed them. Seahawks D went into shut down mode in the 2nd half and there offence finally realized they were in a game. Brady threw for 395 and 2 TD's yet he was"outplayed" by a guy who made a couple nice deep throws. Get real Brady was by far the better QB in that game. A tipped ball in the endzone that was picked by Earl Thomas to me was the end of the patriots day they looked defeated at that even thought they were still winning. Hawks win 24-23.

Atlanta stayed undefeated getting through a pesky Raiders team this year that doesn't go away in any games. They don't win the games but they are scrapping it out, an admirable trait probably start turning in to some wins for them. ATL's d was solid all around with Matty Ice not at his best but good enough to win. Falcons win 23-20.

Detroit beat Philly which is now meaning the end of the world for the Eagles. I love it, they have a small QB who makes bad decisions, but damn he's fast. He has upwards of 11 turnovers this year, BUT were going to fire the D coordinator because, well just because we can. Here's an idea fire Andy Reid who has clearly lost his ability to lead this team because they have been mediocre in every game this year including the ones they have won. Also maybe bench the guy who can't hold onto the ball. Nick Foles is a young raw talent who came from basically being the only player who could play on the University of Arizona offence. Give him a shot, sounds like your cutting Vick at the end of the year anyway so why not get the kid some reps, seems to be the year for rookie QB's so who knows what could happen. Lions win 26-23.

The Niners got spanked on the weekend. The Giants strolled into Candlestick ready for a fight. And it turned out to be just an ass kicking. The niners offence didn't show up, the D was pretty good, but Eli was better. Alex Smith showed what happens when he thinks he is a real QB and not just a game manager. Giants win 26-3.

Ryan Tannehill might be a real QB folks. Don't quote me on that but he is looking more and more impressive every week. Leading a Miami offence that should be awful, they still aren't great they are doing enough to win which you can't ask anymore. Honestly i have no idea what is happening with this team all I know is they are 3-3 and that's AMAZING. Fins win17-14.

Guess who else won this weekend. The one and only Cleveland browns. This ones even more of a shocker because 1) they were playing what should be a good cincy team, and 2) they were without one of there best linebackers Scott Fujita. Brandon Wheeden is making better choice which means that they can actually drive the ball instead of 3 runs and a punt. Only bad thing is Trent Richardson got hurt so if its serious these wins won't keep up. Browns win 34-24.

Other winners this week were Titans, Ravens, jets, Bucs, Bills, Skins, Packers. Although the Ravens won they really lost losing Ray Lewis and LaDarius Webb for the year.

Whats a bountygate???

Day after the "new suspensions were handed out and people have had some time to react i figure it's now my turn to react to something that has dragged on too long.

First and foremost as a player you do what your coach tells you, you don't question, you just do. If he says jump you don't ask how high you just jump as high as you can. If he says go out there and hurt someone, you go out you play as hard as you can and if you get a chance to really put a hit on someone you do it. Now if coach says go out there hurt Brett Favre and you get $10,000, honestly I'm gonna go out there with every intention to injure him because that $10,000 i didn't have before. Don't care who you are 10 grand is a lot of money. If someone asked me to go up to my best friend and hit him in the face with an object just to hurt him i would probably do it and then share some money with him because of what i just did. Point is money makes people do stupid things.

Which brings me to the point where how can you say that anyone is to blame except to man controlling it. Greg Williams is to blame for this, people who "participated" were doing what they were paid to do. They were just doing there jobs if they were to either question the coach or let up to not hurt anyone we the public would be all over that player. We have no sympathy for players who don't produce, or who let up. Yet now were backing suspensions for guys who were just doing as they were told. Am I saying you should go out and hurt people, absolutely not. I don't believe that players should have the intent to injure. But in saying that when you have 260 lbs of muscle running at someone to tackle him, getting injured just feels like something that's going to happen.

The suspensions are Vilma still gone for the season, Smith 4 games, Fujita 1 game, Hargrove 7. To suspend a player for a season i feel is absurd, like i said before he was doing what was asked of him by his coach. I also don't really understand the variation in suspensions. First of all how do you pick out 4 guys from a whole defence that participated. Now I understand what the NFL did and suspended the "main" participants, but the whole defence was apart of this whether they gave money or earned money.

From what i have gathered the NFL has yet to even prove that these players had any intent to injure. So how do you uphold suspensions to players that haven't been proven guilty? Baffles me how they can still keep people out of work without pay and haven't proved anything yet.

This whole situation i think is a little redundant because you have players in the NFL that don't need players to have a bounty on there head to hurt them and nothing happens to them. *cough* james harrison *cough*. So the message we (the nfl) is sending is that if coach says go hurt someone its wrong, but if you just gather up the feeling to go hurt someone go get'em tiger.

Roger Godell has done a lot of good things for the NFL and professional sports as a whole but he royally fucked up this one.

Finally they definitely could have found a better name than "the bounty gate scandal", it's accurate yes but there are better ideas out there.

Week 5 was impossible to gamble on

Week 5 started with a sleeper and ended with a laugher.

TNF was pretty awful this week when the rams took on the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals. And then Arizona turned 4-1, and man was it boring. In what some people might call a "defensive" game the Rams and Cards put everyone to sleep. The only entertaining part was seeing Kevin Kolb get hit time and time again. Rams win 17-3.

Now on to better more entertaining games. The Colts/Packers game was one of the most fun games to watch this year. Beside the last minute finish to the game. It was the heart of a colts team driven but their coach Chuck Pagano who was diagnosed with leukaemia last week and will not be with the team for the next 6 weeks at least. The colts d held their own against a packers offence that was shorthanded yes but still has plenty of talent on it to put up tons of points. The colts offence lead by rookie Andrew Luck stunned the packers when they drove down the field last minute to win the game. Reggie Wayne played like a beat with 212 yds receiving which was 18 yds shy of what Mark Sanchez threw for this week. Colts may have turned things around a lot sooner than people expected. Colts win 30-27.

The Giants/Browns game probably should have been irrelevant to this week. But it showed the weakness the Giants have. They are a slow starting team that is prone to turnovers (kinda like that other NY team). With the Browns jumping out to a 14-0 lead the Giants really should have lost this game. If they were playing a real team they would but luckily for them they were playing the Browns. Giants win 41-27.

Now the only reason i am mentioning the Steelers/Eagles game is because Michael Vick has to be the most overrated player in the league. He fumbled 4 times Sunday, he only lost 2 of them luckily for him or eagles fans probably would have been losing their minds on Monday. Here is a guy who said when he needs to he takes care of the ball. I'm pretty sure you need to take care of that thing every time you have it you clown. The steelers were a better team all around so they won 16-14.

Falcons/Redskins was an interesting one. Played in Washington should have levelled the playing field for the Skins'. And it did for the most part but ATL was just too much. Side note on this game is that RG3 will be sliding for an hr a day in practice this week because he got his brain rattled and left the game with a concussion, can anyone say Mike Vick rd 2. Thankfully for Skins fans Kirk Cousins is a very solid replacement. Falcons win 24-17.

Over in New England the Pats showed why people have so much faith in them this year. They got up on a good Broncos team early and never looked back. The run game was excellent again, Brady ran the no huddle to perfection, and the D played really well but let up at the end of the game which hopefully doesn't become a trend. Pats are the second best team in the AFC and will continue to show that. Patriots win 31-21.

Finally MNF, I love when the Jets are on national TV especially this yr. First of when fans boo the QB in favour of a guy who showed again last night he can't throw the ball you are showing us why no one likes you or your team. Second the J.E.T.S just suck something fierce this year and as a pats fan i love seeing them struggle. O ya and that other team who played is pretty good as well. The Texans are just overall a very good team, the potential loss of Brian Cushing for the year could leave a huge hole in the middle of the field but this is a good team that has a better coaching staff so they will figure something out. JJ Watt is making a case for DPOY and Arian Foster/Matt Schaub are running that offence perfectly. Texans win 23-17.

Other winners this week included Dolpins, Ravens, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings, Niners, Saints. Also big congrats to Drew Brees who broke Johnny Unitas consecutive games with a TD pass record as he threw one in his 48th straight game. Guys a class act i hope the streak goes on.

PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

It's that time of year folks, we have playoff baseball on our hands and it's o so exciting. Day off today wild card games start tomorrow with a one game playoff series. Here's how it's looking.

The cards play the braves in Atlanta tomorrow at 3pm (5pm et), very curious to see how managers play these series. Whether they go with their ace or do you go with your middle rotation guy. This is probably the lower profile of the two wild card series, even though it could be Chipper Jones last game ever. But don't count on it the Braves are going to win this game. Don't be surprised to see them push the Nats as well. Braves have a great closer, solid pen, solid rotation and they can hit the ball around enough to get some runs. Once they get a lead and the pen takes over tough team to beat. Braves win go on to play the Nationals Sunday.

The AL wild card is the Orioles vs Rangers. Yep the Texas Rangers did not win the AL west, they lost it last night to the OAKLAND ATHLETICS. Now i did not see this coming at all, i was certain the Rangers would be playing a home playoff game this weekend. Texas is solid all around, The O's may be on borrowed time but don't look for them to go away without a fight. Baltimore's going to win this game, Texas has been coasting as of late and it cost them last night and will cost them again tomorrow. If anyone saw the error Josh Hamilton made last night there's my proof to the coasting comment. I love Josh Hamilton but you can't make that error in game 162. I see Baltimore winning this series and beating the Yankees as well. These guys are driven for whatever reason.

Small side note here, last night after the A's beat Texas, Oakland pitcher Pat Neshek flew to Florida to be with is wife as she gave birth to their first child. 23 hrs later the child without explanation passed away. The A's will rally around this as I hope they do, Detroit's in tough.

Alright now the real series start on Saturday with the two DS series that don't involve wild card teams. Like mentioned above the A's play the Tigers. A's are going win this game, they are riding huge momentum, they have a team mate to rally around, they have millions of baseball fans without a team in the playoffs cheering for them. This is going to be a good series but look or the A's to take game one.

Also on Saturday the Giants play the Reds. Now I'm a huge fan of Lincecum and Posey, i think the guys are studs. Cincy is going to win this game and this series. I get the playoff experience that SF has i just think Cincinnati is too good to lose in the first rd.

Sunday we have 4 playoffs games which is the stupidest thing the MLB could do if you ask me but hey what do i know. They have yet to release when the games will be played because they are probably trying to work it around the best NFL games, which is where the idea of play them Monday makes a lot more sense to me. Cincy vs SF, A's vs Tigers, Yankees vs O's/Rangers, Nationals vs Braves/Cards. Definitely going to be good baseball but when you only get 16 weeks of watching your NFL team play not likely your going to miss a game.

Quick predictions from me. Take Baltimore/Atlanta, rd 2 take Baltimore/Tigers/Cincy/Nats. Rd 3 take Cincy/Baltimore. WS take Cincy. I will most likely get at least one of these so if your going to bet maybe think the picks through.

Anyway enjoy playoff baseball people, it's gonna be fun.

Hey STOP IT WITH THE TEBOW

So I went on twitter, facebook, and NFL.com this morning and i saw fucking Tim Tebows' name everywhere and now i'm irritated.

For those people who think Tebow would help the Jets offence i ask you simply, HOW?

He can't throw, he doesn't make a habit of making good decisions, when he does decide to throw the ball its hideous and rarely on target. Even the ball he threw to Thomas in OT last yr was high and behind. The guy is nothing more than a prop as a QB. He CAN NOT play the position in the NFL.

The fact people are suggesting he could help them is amazing. He might play and they might win yes. But he will not be the reason they win, you put a player of lesser skill into a game with guys they are going to work harder, they are going to try and make up for how shitty that guy is. Tim Tebow would be an awesome slot receiver, or fullback. But he is not an awesome QB. If you want a guy to be a good rusher with a below par arm, throw your back up RB in at QB he will do the same thing.

I just don't understand the NFL hype of this guy anymore. It baffles me that people are so engaged in such a mediocre player. I understand the public appeal to him because of how openly religious he is, the guy is a great speaker, and genuinely seems like a very good human being. But my god he is not a great football player. At least he isn't a great QB. Imagine 250 lbs Tim Tebow running the same routes Wes Welker does, cutting across the middle, now that has potential. Not too many guys are just going to throw themselves at the opportunity to go shoulder to shoulder with Tebow he's a big strong guy.

To all the experts out there, none of your reasons make sure. Your asking a defensive coach to change his offence around a guy who can't throw and your running game sucks and now your going to depend on it. WHERE IS THE LOGIC.

Hey Holmes is on the IR all year you now need a receiver, you have one, he wears #15. Give him a shot in a position he can actually excel at don't throw your team into a .500 season at best by playing this kid at QB. You want a QB try Greg McIlroy, you know the only guy on your roster to throw a preseason TD this year. Ya he might be a better option, BECAUSE HE IS A QB. Man it grinds me to see guys who work so hard be pushed aside by media scandals. Brian Hoyer who was awesome at Michigan State and was all you can ask for in a back up in new england does not have a job right now, He would be the best QB on that roster.

All I'm saying is i am not employed in the NFL and i just found the Jets two better options at QB, I'm pretty sure guys get paid big bucks to do what i just did. So for all you Tebow lovers, i don't hate the guy, if you read between the lines i really want him to succeed, but he is going to retire young if people try and make him a QB.

Week 4 all wrapped up

There were alot of points scored in week 4.....unless your a Jets fan HAHA

Anyway now that we got that out of the way, week 4 was a good week for quite a few teams, a nice bounce back week after a weird week 3.

Ravens snuck by the browns which on a short week with everything thats gone on in raven town is all you can ask for. Ravens win 23-16.

This could not wait, the J.E.T.S are a god awful offence and now the world knows it. I hope the Tebow chants come fast and furious so that the offence can get worse. I don't understand how throwing in a QB that is a worse passer is going to fix this team but man do i want to see it. O ya and the other team in this game looked very good bouncing back after a tough loss, run game was beautiful defence did work and alex smith did what he needs to do. Niners win 34-0, thats right 34-0 jets fans so suck on that.

Man the texans are good. All of them they are real good. Here's a team that is so complete it's so nice to see them have a offence ad defence built the right way. Matt Schaub is a boss this year. That defence is frighteningly good. Texans win 38-14.

The 4-0 ARIZONA CARDINALS are winning on defence right now and man is it ugly but yet so pretty. Here is a team that has half a QB, a solid WR core but like i said 1/2 a QB, and a run game that exists but is in no way stellar. But that defence is o so good. They create turnovers, swarm to the ball, they score points. They do it all so the offence just has to maintain possession to give them a breather and they are happy. They snuck out of this one but its a still a win. Cards win 24-21 (this upset a lot of gamblers im sure)

The Packers bounced back after that disaster in Seattle. Aaron Rodgers was on his feet more than he was on the ground which bids well for this team. Cedric Benson finally was used like he should be and the D played pretty well. The Saints in all means deserved to win this game as well though they played well. Pack wins 28-27

The Minnesota Vikings are 3-1, that was a serious comment. They beat the 1-3 Detroit Lions, that was also a serious comment. Going into this season to see these records reversed would have been very realistic, but these are very backwards. The Vikes very deserving though. Christian Ponder is playing like a very good QB, Adrian Peterson is getting healthier, Toby Gerhart is helping AP get healthy, and the pass rush is very productive. So far i'm impressed with the Vikes and the Lions look like a team that just got released from prison, probably because a few of them did. Vikes win 20-13.

The New England patriots returned to their offensive glory. Scoring 45 points in the second half. They had 2 receivers over 100 yds and to rb's who rushed for more than 100 yds. That has only happened once before (08 Packers). After a slowish first half the Pats exploded on offence with the D making sure they kept getting back on the field. Heres to hoping this continues. PATS WIN 52-28.

I fell asleep during the sunday night game so were not gonna go there (it was awfully boring). The MNF game though, different story. Who doesn't like seeing Jay Cutler molest the Cowboys defence, and then see poor old Tony Romo throw pick after pick until Kyle Orton was thrown in there. For me personally this was best case scenario, i find it hilarious how the cowboys can have so much talent and be so god awful week in and week out. It baffling and uterly hilarious i think. Bears win 34-18.

Other winners included Eagles (SNF), Redskins, Bengals, Broncos, Chargers, Falcons, Rams. I recommend watching Patriot Broncos sunday afternoon, then tune in monday night to what Mr. Tim Tebow and the J.E.T.S get put away wet by the Houston Texans.

Ryder Cup was so very fun

Well its come and gone for another couple years sadly. But it was well worth the wait. This years Ryder Cup was so much fun to watch. You don't usually hear that about any golf event but it was a blast. Between all the emotion on the European side playing for Seve, and the desire to win at home by the Americans it was an unreal atmosphere.

I found myself wanting to watch golf instead of football yesterday for the first time ever. Although very frustrating to watch Steve Stricker try and compete with guys he can't anymore, he put up a fight  and almost ruined the Miracle at Medinah. Few things that bugged me though.

The fact that Steve Stricker was on the American team was beyond reasoning i thought. Yes he was a great golfer at one time, not anymore. I feel there were much better options than Steve Stricker for a course that set up so well for young guys who can blast the ball. Rickie Fowler would have done very well at Medinah i think. Long open course, the rough wasn't too thick, but thick enough around the hazards to stop the ball. Sets up awesome for a guy who can bomb the ball. Hunter Mahan who has been so consistent the past couple years i think should have been a shoe in. Nick Watney who was 4th in FedEx Cup standing definitely could have replaced Stricker or Matt Kuchar. I just feel that the Americans didn't field the best team they could have which is slightly disappointing, but o well.

Rory McIlroy is really good btw. This guy showed up 11 minutes before his tee time Sunday then proceeded to beat Keegan Bradley who was unreal all weekend. You just shouldn't be able to do that. Especially with all the preparation these guys do, i find it amazing that this kid can just show up and win.

The Europeans fielded there best players. This was excellent because like i said i don't think that the Americans fielded there best team. I still believe the Americans had the better team they just collapsed on Sunday.

Tiger should have been in an early pairing. The guy is #2 in the world right now you don't throw him in a pairing that could possibly mean nothing. Just not good team management. It's like when your a soccer team in a shootout you make sure your best players get to shoot, you don't risk not having them shoot. Davis Love made a big mistake by playing Tiger last i think. What if it was Tiger vs Garcia not Furyk. Or even Tiger vs Westwood, I would bet the outcome of those matches are changed. Putting Tiger last and having him matched up against Molinari i think was a very costly mistake for the Americans.

Finally, the better team won. Not the more skilled, but on Sunday the European were on fire, finally hitting the putts that weren't dropping the rest of the weekend. They were motivated, but mostly inspired by a lost friend who would have been so proud of the fight those euros put up Sunday. Now i admit i wanted the Americans to win but seeing the reactions on Olazabal when they won, how he broke down was amazing. Here's a guy who didn't take one golf shot all weekend, but he had a group of grown men rally around him and pull out a huge upset. Very inspiring.

O and a huge shout out to the spectators. Don't care what anyone says just hearing all the cheering through to TV was awesome, wish i could have been there.

I can't wait for 2014 Ryder cup in Scotland. I will most definitely be watching as hopefully an American team can take it home.
