Too Much Valentine's Day Chatter Already


Honestly what is the point of Valentines Day? I'm seeing statuses on Facebook "someone be my Valentine" or "I don't have a Valentine." There's is not a soft spot in my heart for any of these "pity partyers." Somebody please explain this to me. Why do we celebrate this day? Why does this nation just have an absolute obsession for red hearts with arrows through them. I'll tell you one thing, when I see a heart with an arrow through it, I get queasy right away. That's not lovely or romantic, it just looks flat out bizarre. I whole heartedly feel that the only reason Valentine's Day exists is so you can make up for cheating on your significant other on New Years. See here's the method to my madness. The morning after your New Years rage, you call him or her and explain what you did and how you are really sorry. He or she will then be mad and not talk to you for about a month, but don't worry because Valentine's Day is right around the corner. So bam, this day comes around and now you have an excuse to buy chocolates, flowers, a ring, a car a new bed, whatever floats your boat. By shoving gifts in his or her face to get them back on Valentine's Day, it's like fishing with dynamite. They are guaranteed to take you back. So for the love birds out there that cuddle and watch a movie on Valentines Day, this day isn't for you. It's for the people who had a sweet New Years celebration. So please, leave the gift giving and dinner dates to those people and love birds just stay home.

The New York Post Still Exists?


Isn't this the paper that you see thrown around on New York city streets all torn up and being walked over by pigeons? Yeah, that's what I thought. I know a decent amount of sports writers out of New York City but I got to be honest, I couldn't name one writer from the New York post, nevermind even knowing that it still existed. I mean I live right outside of New York and I legitimately see nobody carrying around this piece of trash. Now they come out with this headline? Are they just trying to stir the pot? I mean I respect a good "back and forth" before a big matchup but this is just flat out forced. Brady was not taunting anybody. Brady is not focused on revenge, he isn't focused on trying to prove people wrong. Brady is just flat out on a mission and is bitter. When Tom is bitter...look out. He's getting that fourth ring. Again this is just classic New York sports trying to make a statement to appear to be more than it really is. How old are we honestly? Can we act like adults? Just because you guys live in the shadow of the New York Times doesn't mean you have to go around making something out of nothing. Brady doesn't care about your headlines. Stop trying to be relevant. Nobody knows this paper exists.



P.S.- You know your newspaper isn't really good when on your sports front page you have Empire City Casino advertising. Desperation at its finest.

Most Epic Baseball Card of All-Time


I was never a big collector of baseball cards. The whole mass production aspect of them kind of took away from the joy of having them. No card ever seemed rare or worth having. However, if it is one baseball card that I have to have, it is this one. The leg belongs to Skip Schumaker, Cardinals second baseman and victim of the famous squirrel dash. Well to Schumaker's credit, he has decided to pay tribute to this squirrel by putting this picture on the front of his baseball card. Schumaker may only have hit 2 home runs last year but he has my vote for the Hall of Fame already. This is by far the most genius idea an athlete has ever had. Just look at this card, it's brilliant. I would drop some serious cash for a baseball card of this nature. Squirrels once again just killing it in nature so stop killing them with your cars.

I Guess the President Doesn't Always Have Work To Do

Maybe it's the nerd inside me but this video is absolutely classic. President Johnson is ordering pants while inside the oval office. The way he talks about them, I don't know. This just kind of sums up this man. If you fast forward the clip, his description gets a little graphic and quite comical. Maybe I'm a nerd for posting this, I don't care. I think it's classic.

RIP Mr. Pitt


Ian Abercrombie, the man better known as Mr. Pitt from Seinfeld has passed away from complications with lymphoma. Known for his scenes with Elaine and Elaine being his servant, Mr. Pitt provided laughs throughout the episodes of Seinfeld and he will be missed. First Uncle Leo, now Mr. Pitt. RIP my man.

Is Gronk the Greatest Person to Walk this Earth?

Got this jam on repeat. Don't worry New York, he'll be out there.





My Super Bowl Prediction: New England Patriots v. Jersey Giants (they play in Jersey, not New York)


It's one week away. 7 days until I either become the greatest sports fan alive or take a step back. It was just last week that I was sitting here watching the Giants eek out a win against the overrated 49ers and eventually my dream of revenge came true. The media is solely focused on the Giants and what they are doing and what they are saying. The nation wants the Giants to win and that's no surprise. I don't care. This nation seems to fall in love with mediocre quarterbacks like Elaine Manning. I will never put elite and Elaine in the same sentence. Just won't happen. I root for the greatest quarterback to ever play the game so frankly anybody below him just doesn't get my respect and that includes Elaine.

This game is going to be very simple to tell right away who is going to win. If the Giants overrated defensive line is able to get to Brady, then the Giants have a chance. However, if the Giants allow Brady time to scan the field and pick apart one of the worst secondaries in the league, then the Pats could win by 20. I really feel that the key for the Patriots in this game is going to be not how well they throw the ball for once, but actually how well they get the ground game going. Getting the Law Firm and Danny Woodhead going will really keep the Giant defensive line guessing and will ware them down. Establishing a quality run game will only make the passing attack of Brady even more lethal than it already is. I fully expect the Giants to throw on the Patriots secondary all game long, but despite what ESPN and every other sports outlet says, the Patriots defense has improved greatly. Winning their playoff games by a combined score of 68-30, the defense is making stops. This whole "32nd ranked defense" argument is old and outdated. Chung is back, Spikes is healthy and Mark Anderson has established himself as one of the best pass rushers of late. Of course, New York fans don't know who Spikes and Anderson are because they didn't play against the Giants in week 9 and New York fans just don't know much period. They tend to listen to Mike Francesa every morning or Michael Kay and be convinced that New York is the greatest sports city around. I mean it's not. It sucks.

The game will probably end up being close, like every Patriot Super Bowl victory. Pats win this game 31-27. Super Bowl MVP will be Benjarvus Green-Ellis and Matt Tierno will be decked out in Patriots garb up the wazoo.

Did Ochocinco Just Curse the Pats?


Despite me having his jersey and me being all pumped up on the day we signed him, Ochocinco has pretty much been irrelevant through out the entire season. There's was a sighting here and there but other than that, he's pretty much contributed as much as I have to the Pats Super Bowl run. But as of yesterday, his wallet is by far the current MVP leading up to Super Bowl week after purchasing Dre Beats for every single one of his teammates on the Pats. I'm going to honest with you, I hate this. I hate the omen that this sets. Let's step back in time shall we when in September, John Henry purchased Dre Beats for every member of the Red Sox. Now what happened to the Sox this year? They gagged it away in every sense of the word. Now I'm not one to be all concerned with stuff like this but it does beg the question. Are these Dre Beats bad luck for my teams? I don't know. It concerns me and yeah I'll be in my seat at the game questioning whether or not these headphones have cursed my squads. If I were Ochocinco I would have tried to read the writing on the wall and have purchased Bose headphones instead, you know just in case the curse of the Dre Beats actually does exist. 






In other news, Tom Brady got UGGs to give each teammate a free pair of boots. Love it. Maybe this will override the whole headphone purchase.

I Just Can't Lose to this Cupcake Again

Is he serious with these pictures?
I mean I don't know who is who but it doesn't matter just look at them. 
"Oh my god this pitcher is pumping ched I hope I don't get hit by his pitch" 
What a lame dude right? While Brady is down in Brazil raging and dancing all night long, Eli is seen here at a little kid carnival riding a spaceship. Sweet man.

New Gingrich Wants to Make the Moon a State...Wait Come Again?



Oh this Newt character. Yeah, he is a competitive son of a gun and I love it. But then again this is a guy who can't really define the meaning of the words "moral" or "loyal." Nevertheless, Newt plans on developing a colony on the moon and annexing it. Yup, just made the same face you just made when I first heard about this. At first I thought I was reading the satirical magazine "The Onion" but nope, this is a legit aspiration of this guy's. Here's my view, I think we should take baby steps first, maybe Puerto Rico, maybe Long Island (oh whoops that's in America) before we start going all galaxy hunting. Settle down Newt, do less my man.

The Wonderful World of Sports

     I have been told time and time again that "I take sports too seriously" and that these athletes aren't saving lives so therefore they get way too much respect. To whomever has said that to me or anyone, you're absolutely WRONG. Sports are able to provide us with feelings that cannot be captured in any other circumstance or event. In sports, there's no script, there's no guarantees. You watch actors and actresses on the big screen and yeah sure you escape from the world but in that movie there is script and it is guaranteed that the movie will end. You walk out of the theater saying "wow great flick" or "I was disappointed." Then Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Liam Neeson (boss) go back to being themselves, their own person and disconnect from their characters they played. In sports, you don't play a different role. You are on the field as Tom Brady, you come off as Tom Brady. A loss sits with you, a win sparks a smile. Actors and actresses have it easy. They just have to provide entertainment. Athletes have two jobs, to go out and entertain and to go out and play well enough so they can keep their JOB.
     After the events of September 11th, 2001 where did we as a nation turn for happiness in a time of shock and sadness? We turned to the New York Giants, we turned to the New England Patriots, we turned to the world of sports. It provided a sense of security in a time where uncertainty was so high. It provided an outlet from the horrible images of that horrific day. 
    The world of sports represents a world of dreams that were achieved by these athletes. They grew up just like everyone of us. Dreaming to hoist the Lombardi trophy or the Stanley Cup. They are the epitome of the phrase "dreams do come true." Some came from nothing, some came from wealth, but regardless of where one comes, the ability to dream is embedded in the human mind. Sure, did I ever want to play a professional sport, of course what 6 year old didn't? This what sports do. They provide opportunity to our nation and provide our nation with an outlet. It gives citizens of our nation something to talk about at the water cooler and gives us a chance to reach out to other people that we may never have talked to. Sports is truly one of the biggest aspects of this nation and it provides us an escape. It brings us the greatest of feelings, and the emptiest. It sparks tears of joy and tears of pain. Sports are real, not scripted and last time I check our lives aren't scripted either. It really is the Wonderful World of Sports.

Says it all. 



Younger Kids are More Mature

Honestly this has got to be one of the top stories of 2012 already. Kyle Williams, the man who basically blew it for the Niners in the NFC Championship game has been receiving death threats towards him and even his family. Kinda shows the desperation of the San Francisco fans for a Super Bowl, but nevertheless maybe us Tweeters and grown-ups can sit back and learn from a 7 year old boy who composed this letter to Kyle Williams.

Yeah it's from a 7 year old but sometimes those little nuggets understand the world better than us big tough adults. Who are those people who sit back and fire off threats to someone? Make you proud guys? Make you feel tough, make you feel more important? Clearly if you're someone firing off these tweets and texts and mailing him letters and whatever it is you whackjobs do you need to check yourself. Yeah you may have a job with a boss, but maybe you should reassess your life and get a life coach, and you can start by hiring this young kid. Athletes provide us with an escape, an escape from life and we look up to these guys. Sometimes a 7 year old knows more about life than a 30 year old does. Do we grow more immature as we age?

A Little Changeup

Was watching these SNL skits last night and I lost it at this moment. I figured I'd take a little break from the Seinfeld, but only for a day. Seinfeld is visible in daily life. So don't get too excited Seinfeld haters, because tomorrow it's coming back at you. Enjoy!

Pretty Much Sums it Up

Michelle Beadle Needs to go to Hell


Beadle just lost all my respect. I always thought she was dumb, but now she just reached an all time high. She calls Matthew Slater our deep threat? He plays like 2 snaps a game Beadle, so you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Secondly, calling Brady and Belichick enemies? Rallying the nation against the Pats? I love it. Hate them all you want Beadle, they are the greatest franchise this nation and the league has ever seen. You look absolutely ridiculous in that outfit, you talk like a 5th grade boy and a true Jet fan would never root for the team that they share a stadium with. A true Jet fan doesn't watch the Super Bowl because it is indeed their Super Bowl from hell. But keep rallying the nation you fake-blonde no-name. Just because Tom Brady would even touch with a 12 foot pole does not give you the ammunition to call for a rally. And by the way, why are you hashtagging this Beadle? Who are you John Stewart calling for rallies? This entire year has been rallying against the Pats, from the changing out the guard with the New York Jets (that went well) to Tebowmania (he's no longer a virgin after playing us). Let it all play out Pats Nation, we are hated because we're just better and we know it. Enjoy the Super Bowl Beadle, I heard Rex wants to suck your feet. That'll be your half time snack.

My Reaction When I Hear the Phrase "18-1"

Quiver. Cry. Swear. Punch a wall. That record has evolved into one of the worst phrases one could say to me.

So Here's the Deal


As I was traveling back from class today I was informed one of my long-time best friends had won tickets to the Super Bowl. I got my tickets in a less cool fashion seeing that my man Matt Tierno won his tickets from the one and only Ellen Degeneres. I've said it for years, Ellen is awesome. She dances like an absolute fool and she's fine with that. Love it. Well low and behold, Tierno will be out in Indy with me. Yeah, in the parking lot we will be friends and bantering and all but the minute we go into the stadium and go to our respective seats, for those 60 minutes he is the enemy. He'll be dawning the blue and I'll be dawning the blue also but seeing as the Giants may have the ugliest uniforms in football, I'll be rocking the better blue. So amidst our trashing of each other's team, we decided on a little bet. If the Pats win, Matthew Alexander Tierno will be rocking that Patriots Championship Tee right outside Lucas Oil Stadium. If those pesky Giants eek out the vicotry, I'll be the one rocking their championship T-shirt.

Well now he's in Philly where the chokers belong...



Flashback to 2007: After the Pats lost their perfect season to Eli and the velcro helmet, I did not attend school the next day. I had stated that I would wear a Giants jersey that entire day at school. I backed down. But not this year. I will stay true to my word. I mean can you blame me? I had no clue it was even possible to lose that game. I apologize to all (the entire school) who were offended that day.

Seinfeldism of the Day: Respect Your Elders


Someone Explain to me what this "Kobe System" is?

I get it. The man is hurting after getting stripped of half his earnings by his wife. He's down, he's hurt but I legit don't understand what this whole thing is. I think he hit the panic button. These commercials just started sprouting up right after the divorce. He's got stars galore in his commercials but the idea of a commercial is to sell something the only problem is, what is the thing? I mean, if they are kicks then this commercial is awful. He keeps ranting about this system and how it'll make you "elite" (Eli needs them) with some weird triangle diagram. Dude, Kobe I respect your play, I respect that you are indeed the greatest player since Jordan but my man I prefer Jordan's "Hanes" commercials to your pointless jabber. Check yourself Kobe.


What is this little triangle diagram? Just like Lady Gaga is messing with us, Kobe is starting to do the same.

MJ #FTW...

Jim Harbaugh Just Ragging On California


Harbaugh just went up big time in my book. His brother I don't care for much, but Jimmy, Jimbo, the Jimster just climbed the ladder. I have never been a huge fan of the state of California. Been there once, was in Los Angeles and San Diego and I just don't like it. It's too spread out, too different. I'm all about the East Coast, Northeast and California is just not up that alley. It's nothing against the people it's just the place isn't cool. It's not chill. It's not where it's at. Plus one of its largest cities in the state doesn't even have a football team? What kind of pathetic state is that. Harbaugh was right on with this quote. The state just does not understand.

"Is it just California that everybody just wants to know how you feel? Care about what you thought, what you did, how you felt, how your pinky feels. Is that just a California thing? Back where I come from, nobody really cares. In my opinion, it is a California thing."





Billy Cundiff Blaming Missed Field Goal on Gillette Stadium Scoreboard

Oh yeah this makes sense. So what if the scoreboard was off by a down? My friend you got to know the situations. I learned back in Little League to never trust what the scoreboard says. Usually the scoreboard operator was some 2 foot tall 5 year old with ice cream caked on his face and his fingers sticky from the cotton candy he was eating earlier. Same goes for the scoreboard operator on Sunday, I assume it was the same type of person only 30 years older. Don't trust the scoreboard Billy, keep your head in the action. You blew it, your team blew it, your coach blew. It was just a classic choke job, the type of choke that Baltimore is used to.

Jim Nantz: "in all likelihood send this to overtime."

Jim once again shows how he just is incapable of calling a game fairly and non-biased. And does anybody else notice how silent Phil Simms is throughout all of this? Phil hates the Pats more than anything. The nation is just absolutely obsessed with despising the Patriots.

JoJo Is a Smoke


I said this years ago and I'm holding true to it today, JoJo is a 10 out of 10. No questions asked, hands down top 5 best looking chick on the planet. Winner winner chicken parm dinner.

Is This True?

I see this thing going around on Facebook and apparently it is what makes McDonald's chicken? Can anyone verify this? I mean if it's true it probably won't change a thing. Those Chicken Selects are bomb and not even this will deter me from eating the greatness that is Mickey Ds. But just for heck of it, I'm curious.

Flacco Outplayed Brady, Blah, Blah, Blah

Yes, Flacco did outplay Brady. He did to put it simply. Brady was horrid, made stupid decisions and forced too many balls. But ladies and gentlemen may I remind you of what you have been saying all season such as:

  • "the pats defense sucks"
  • "31st in the league"
  • "can't stop a nosebleed"
  • "Sterling who?"
So basically, when any quarterback plays against my defense, they are going to look good. How do you think Flacco would have looked if he was throwing against his Ravens' defense. Exactly not too good. My point is that it is impossible to compare quarterbacks in a game. Last time I checked, they don't line up against each other and go toe to toe. Brady is the one of the best QBs of all time and if he gets his 4th ring, he will indeed be the greatest of all time. So let's all get our panties out of a wad and understand that it is impossible to compare two quarterbacks in a game. Besides, if you aren't a Giant fan at this point in the season then you probably should be focused on criticizing your own team before you start ripping into mine. After all, I'm in the Super Bowl...again.

Seinfeldism of the Day: We've All Been Here

Whenever I put my jeans through the wash, I put them back on and bam it's like I'm wearing spandex. When I put them on I see muscles in my legs that I have never seen before. Taking off a freshly washed pair of jeans is by far the worst thing to do. Nevermind putting them on early in the morning. I'd rather walk about in my boxers in 30 degree temperatures than wrestle with these slacks in the morning.

My Point Proven Again...Stay Away From Sharks!


Honestly, enough is enough. What is our infatuation with sharks? We have Shark Week, everybody loves the shark tank at an aquarium and we have movies upon movies based around the damn thing. I don't understand. I am deathly afraid of sharks and everything about a shark. Any type of shark, Great White, Tiger, Whale Shark, Sand Shark you name it, I'm crying like a baby. But yet why do people like the dude pictured above still tempt these things. There is a reason they aren't on land. If they lived on land, forget going to war with other nations, humans and sharks would be fighting an endless battle. Apparently sharks once lived on land and there's a reason why they don't anymore. It's simple: humans and sharks could not co-exist in the same habitat so for the love of barnacles, leave the things alone. Stop tempting them. They don't like us. And if I have to hear one more person tell me how sharks are misunderstood creatures I'm going to whig out. I'm glad they are misunderstood because to tell you the truth we should stop trying to understand them. They hate us, they eat us. I refuse to go in the ocean simply because of these things and I'm okay with that. My land is land and their land is water. They don't come on mine, I don't go in theirs. Hell I understand sharks more than any scientist. I was the kid afraid of sharks in POOLS (still am). The shark and I have a treaty to stay away from one another and that's that.

Right on Marbles...sharks suck.

Timmy Thomas Stands on His Head and Says "No, no" to President Obama

Timmy refused to go the White House today and celebrate the Cup victory with President Obama. I got to tell you, the man amazes me in between the pipes and now as a member of society. He's just a mystery. You don't even know what he is capable of. He just keeps you on the edge of your seat constantly. He doesn't stay in the crease and he doesn't go to the White House. He's got to be one of the Great Wonders of the world. Bravo Timmy, bravo.

His reasoning behind his absence:

"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. 





Way Too True

There are some chicks that understand sports and it is literally the hottest thing ever. Then there are those who straight up just try to act like they know what's going on so that the guy they're trying to get with will make a move. Ladies, it's obvious when you clearly know nothing about what is going on. The way I view it is, if a chick can talk hockey with me, then she is a true sports fan. It's the X-factor. If a chick knows that Rex Ryan is a tool, then she's legit. If a chick is a New York fan then step aside honey, I want nothing to do with you.


A Real Chick is one who...
1. Roots for all Boston, not just one of the teams and despises New York sports on a cellular level.
2. Thinks that Brady rocking Uggs is the most legit thing ever.
3. Will get into a fight with an opposing female-fan at a stadium, arena or bar.
4. Will not paint her face in support of the team.
5. Will be able to tell me who the player is that she dawns on the back of her jersey.
6. Can talk hockey like there is no tomorrow.
7. Will drink beer and a sporting event, not cranberry vodkas.
8. Appreciates the art of tailgating.
9. Understands that the big game may take priority over her needs.
10. Will cry with you if your team goes down.


None of this ladies.

How Classy is New York?

Sweet question. Honestly, we are not even 24 hours into the whole trash spitting Super Bowl matchup and I already have to deal with this garbage. Funny thing is, New England is home to the most dominant sports franchises of all time. Sure certain cities have their powerhouses, but Boston is home to 4 power houses. In that past 10 years, Boston has enjoyed 7 championships. So this little immaturity but that collection of buildings called New York is just trash. I love the city but the people in and around just don't know sports, don't know greatness. Isn't it funny that the worst moment in New England sports was over 80 years ago. Idiots. It clearly was in 2007 when our perfect season was ruined. You guys can't even get that right? Oh how inexperienced you people are. Hashtag suck it.


Made My Day

I hate Baltimore, always have and always will. My hatred for the Ravens grew immensely yesterday. Watching Suggs and Lewis literally try and injure Brady was sickening. And that damn guy again Bernard Pollard who injured Brady, Welker and now Gronk has really earned a spot in my doghouse. Actually my doghouse is a place you want to be because frankly nothing will happen to you, but I just like to sound tough. Regardless, screw Baltimore, it isn't a Charm City as people like to call it. The Inner Harbor is overrated and so are your franchises.

We Aren't Afraid of New York

Does this not say it all? We want the Giants. Us Boston fans, we don't back down, we don't back down from anything. We want revenge and when we want revenge, we get it. Let's get revenge on those Ravens for that playoff loss 2 seasons ago and then it's you Tom Coughlin. Time to bring you down. 


Quiet: The Greatest Offense of all time at work.

Seinfeldism of the Day: Swapping Spots

Classic. Kramer and Jerry switch roles. Too good. Enjoy.

How Funny are the Jets Pepsi Commercials?

The Jets are in the postseason...IN COMMERCIALS. Oh it's just beautiful.
And who is Sanchez to call that guy a little guy? Sanchez you're the pansiest, weakest little QB in the league. Can I even call you a QB? Nah don't think so. 

The NFL Loves the Packers

Listen, I hate the Giants and any New York team that exists with every cell of my body but I'm glad they sent Aaron Rodgers packing. But when it comes to obsessions and infatuations, the NFL, ESPN and everybody else absolutely loved the Packers. The Packers were the biggest pretender of the year by far, I was saying it day 1. While everyone was talking about how bad the Patriots defense was, the freakin' Cheeseheads were ranked 2nd to last in defense but yet we praised them time and time again. As we saw this weekend, the refs apparently developed a fetish for the Packers as well with calls like the one below. All in all this makes the Patriots road to a 4th Super Bowl in 10 years much more likely with only the Niners and the Giants remaining, oh and the Ravens but whatever Ray Lewis. Suck it NFL, you're beloved Pack are gone.

Talk About Crapping Your Pants...


Just saw this story about an hour ago. Apparently, a British Airways flight on its way to Miami to London scared the absolute daylights out of passengers by playing a recorded message stating that the plane was about to make an emergency water landing. As it turns out, the flights attendants played the wrong recording. This is grounds to fire all them and never allow them to even step foot on a plane ever again. But let's look deeper into this story shall we? Essentially, the moral of this story is that if this plane was actually going to land in the Atlantic the last words of instruction that the passengers would hear would be from a robot. Are you freakin' kidding me British Airways? The pilot can't grow a pair and say to the people "Hi ladies and gentlemen we are going to crash because I suck at flying planes."Not to mention after they realized mistake, they played another recording to ignore the water landing warning. You couldn't get on the freakin' loud speaker and say it yourself you nutjobs? No, we rely on the robot. Second off, with the exception of Sully making that amazing water landing in the Hudson River a water landing is a polite way of saying we're all dead. For some reason I feel that the middle of the Atlantic Ocean has a little different temperature and wave heights than that of the Hudson River. I don't know just a guess. I have never been to Europe but you can bet your rootin' tootin' ace that I won't be flying British Airways.

PS: Over or under 2 minutes it took for the liquor cart to be emptied after this message played.

Tragic Story Out of Green Bay

Amidst my ranting, 21-year old Michael Philbin, son of Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, was found dead yesterday in an icy river in Wisconsin. Though they may seem invincible on the playing field and on the sidelines, they are people too and experience pain just like every human. Stay strong Philbins during this tough and tragic time. The Packers face off against the Giants this Sunday at 4:30.

Brady v. "A Nobody"

That's exactly what Tim Tebow is. He is a nobody. Throws a couple of strikes here and there, beats some lousy teams and then ends up squeaking by Pittsburgh, a team that was truly walking on one leg. If Big Ben is healthy and Mendenhall is playing, Broncos lose that game by about 40. So now Tebow is going to into New England where it is safe to say, he stands no chance. Tebow is a typical product of media hype. When Tebow loses this Saturday night in New England, he becomes a nobody and the media drops him and his little antics. The Pats went into Denver Week 15 and absolutely dismantled him, he then goes off the following week and gets trounced by the Buffalo Bills. Listen, love his spirit, love his competitiveness, but he can't match up to Brady and certainly can't manufacture enough points to stay in the game. So media, let's stop hyping this game up like Tebow even has a chance. Pats vs. Ravens AFC Championship game and let's just leave it at that.


Sweet hat bro. He needs to be bounced out.


Oh and Denver, you know that guy you despised so much Josh McDaniels? Yeah he is on our sideline this weekend. How quickly you fans forget that McDaniels was the one who drafted Tebow and Demaryius Thomas the two players who gave you the victory on Sunday. Prepare for the wrath of Josh. Later Denver.

Brad Marchand Suspended for Five Games?

What an absolute joke. I was at this game and the place was going nuts. First off, they called this penalty "clipping." I used to clipping being a 15-yard penalty and me pulling my hair out after a nice punt return, not Marchand just taking Sami Salo and making him go flying. The hit was clean. It states in the rules that a hit below the knees is what warrants a game misconduct, not at the thighs. Now I'm not a doctor but I seriously think the knees were below where Marchand hits him. Now he gets suspended for 5 games? Absolute garbage. Is it not evident that Marchand was clearly trying to protect himself in this situation? Salo was coming around the boards ready to take Marchand's head off. Bravo Marchand, clean hit in my book my man. Keep playing the way you do.

Hey Alain, first of all your name is Alain. Secondly, how about you shut your trap. Salo and the rest of your team is too weak and scared to play like the Bruins do. What are you going to go take care of Marchand? Big tough guy huh? Why'd you lose to us in the Cup my man? You lost because you got outplayed, and outmanned. Your team lives for the power play and you cannot sit here and tell me Salo doesn't bait Marchand into doing that. Take a seat Alain, where's your ring pal?

I'm Back

After a brutal finals stretch and Christmas shopping that I didn't do and just flat out raging, I'm back on the blog scene. I've sat back and let Barstool have the glory for about a month or so, but that's over. I'm back on the scene and Prez is going to have to take a seat behind me. I've got a junk load to talk about from how horrible New York sports are to how great Boston is, you know the usual. Ayoo let's kill it.
