Before I get into the hot topics of the week, I want to thank the NFL owners and NFLPA for extending the CBA for 24 hours, as they feverishly try to work out a new deal. While I’m well aware that 24 hours isn’t a lot of time and that a lockout still may occur, the fact that they extended it gave me a small glimpse of hope. I even danced a jig when I heard the good news.
This blogger/fan that I am is praying that they get this done and that there’s football without interruptions or replacements. We want football in 2011 and beyond!
Bob Sanders has found a new home out west, as he signs a 1-year deal with the San Diego Chargers. The 2007 Defensive Player of the Year was released by the Colts last month, mainly due to his inability to stay healthy. Good luck to Sanders, hopefully he can play a full year of football. Us ladies sure would like to see your name come across our screen. I get double the treat, since my boo Philip Rivers is on the squad as well…
In other news….. Jeremy Shockey signed with the lowly Carolina Panthers. Oh…………………………………
Word on the street is former Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell’s Oakland home is in jeopardy for foreclosure. Apparently, Mr. Russell owes about $195K and if he doesn’t pay it, it’s put back in the market.
We all know the Raiders threw Russell a dumb amount of money, so I doubt he’s broke. Surely buying Coogi sweaters, purple drank and fugly chains couldn’t have taken all of his $30 million plus he’s received so far. My guess is his mind frame was since he no longer plays for Oakland, he said screw that house and decided not to pay for it any longer. But why do that and mess up your credit? Whoever his financial advisor is (if he even has one), isn’t advising him of much. Don’t be a dummy, get rid of the house and move on. Ignorance is bliss……………..
In case you haven’t heard, the Lingerie Football League said they are willing to take over your households on Sundays if the NFL cannot come up to an agreement and in fact, lockout. I’m sure the men have NO problems with seeing scantily clad women run around making hard hits and tackles. But I’m curious to know how the women feel about this?
I’ve watched LFL games before and it’s actually not that bad. But not everyone would be down to watching half-naked women try and fill a void for real football. Let me know what you think ladies… Yay or Nay on LFL replacing NFL on Sundays if there’s a lockout.
Whew, Legedu Naanee shouldn’t commit any more crimes based off of this mugshot alone. The Chargers WR was arrested this past weekend for public intoxication and resisting arrest in Indianapolis. Naanee allegedly was rude to officers after walking through a crime scene and being asked to leave. All hell broke loose, with pepper spray and handcuffs following shortly.
There’s also rumor that Naanee pulled the, “Do you know who I am?” card. Telling cops that he was an NFL player and was gonna sue their ass (his alleged words, not mine).
Dude………….. you were in INDY!! If you aren’t Peyton Manning or Reggie Wayne, don’t nobody know who the hell you are…….
This mugshot is a reminder of why some players are more known for the numbers on their back and helmets on their heads. While I know who he is from his namesake, he could walk by me and I’d never know. Sometimes that’s not a bad thing. And looking at his lips, he’s either dehydrated or he could have used some Carmax before taking this shot.
Naanee, possibly an unrestricted free agent pending the CBA, may have sealed his fate with the Chargers after this incident. Naanee is no Vincent Jackson, and with petty AJ Smith as your GM who knows what the future holds.
Looks like my boo Philip Rivers will be throwing a lot more to Seyi Ajirotutu more in 2011 or when football resumes. Don’t know who that is? Hopefully you won’t find out through a mugshot like many did with Naanee.
Bears fans have been on a fire frenzy since yesterday’s Bears NFC Championship game loss to the Packers. QB Jay Cutler missed the second half due to a knee injury and never returned. While the Bears staff said they made the decision to sit Cutler out, current and former players called out Cutler and his toughness via Twitter yesterday. Maurice Jones-Drew said he played a whole season on a bad knee and Deion Sanders showed no mercy when questioning Cutler’s heart (not to mention regular tweeters who had a field day on Cutler’s absence). And while some folks have come to Cutler’s defense, they are in the minority. The consensus amongst most comments I’ve seen is simple: Cutler punked out.
The biggest Cutler foes at this point have been Bears fans. Website Bears Goggles On found a slew of videos showing Bears fan so irate about Cutler sitting (and standing) on the sidelines that they decided to burn his jersey. There are tons more on Youtube if you do a Cutler jersey burn search.
It reminds me of the LeBron Bonfire that happened after his departure from Cleveland. While the circumstances were different, the outcome is the same. The fans feel slighted by someone they relied on and they put their frustrations out on the jerseys they donned (which I think is pretty stupid, especially if the jersey is authentic. Sell me on burning something I paid good money for.. TUH!).
The fact that Cutler was seen standing during the 4th quarter of the game makes his injury even more hard to swallow. Philip Rivers played an AFC Championship game with a torn ACL, and Ben Roethlisberger, while being called a diva at times, has played with injuries time and time again, including a bad foot and broken nose this season. He’s going to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks.
After the game, it was reported that Cutler had tears in his eyes when told about the backlash he received from players. I know football players have feelings to. But if ever there was a time to “man up” until you had some alone time, that was it.
Is Cutler the new Bartman in Chicago sports???? Okay maybe I went too far with that comparison. But he may be the 2nd most hated sports figure in the Chi-Town right now.
With the regular season over, the NFL will be ready to give out their awards for the best players in the league on offense, defense and coaching. I’m a huge fan of the game so I figured I’d give you my 2010 NFL winners of the prestigious awards that they give out every year. I’m thinking I’ll be more right than wrong, mainly because I’m awesome at this football thing. But there’s always room for error. In any event, I’m here to take a crack who wins what this year.
NFL Coach Of The Year- Raheem Morris, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There are a few coaches who are deserving of this award. Todd Haley in Kansas City and even good ol’ Billy Boy (Belichick), after the revamping of his team. But this award goes to Morris for one simple reason- Who would have thought the Bucs would end the season at 10-6?? I, for one, didn’t see that coming.. AT ALL! The Buccaneers have one of the youngest teams in the NFL, and if they were in the NFC West they’d be hosting a playoff game this weekend. Morris said earlier this year that he thought his team was the best in the NFC and they rallied behind that and finished strong, winning 3 out of their last 4 games. He’s not a miracle worker, but he’s damn close. It sucks that they are in the very tough NFC South with the Falcons and the Super Bowl champion Saints, but the Bucs have every reason to believe they can compete with their division foes for 2011 and beyond.
Offensive Rookie Of The Year- Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots and Mike Williams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This was hard to choose, so I’m picking both. How can you not make a case for Gronkowski? Okay, so Tom Brady throws him the ball, but so what? Gronkowski has been a great asset to the Patriots this season and a red zone killer, scoring 10 TDs in his rookie contest. Since the departure of Moss, Brady has relied on his rookie TEs in a big way (the other is Aaron Hernandez FROM… the University of Florida! *Gator chomping*). Gronkowski has taken his roll and ran away with it…. literally. Mike Williams has also done the same, becoming a big time target for QB Josh Freeman, catching 11TDs and ending the season averaging nearly 15 yards per reception. Williams and Freeman should be making beautiful TDs together in the future with his playmaking ability. Both deserve the praise. I know only one will win, but it’s my blog, I can pick both!
Defensive Rookie Of The Year- Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions
I don’t know another defensive rookie that brought so much immediate impact to his defense like Suh has. Coming out of Nebraska, I always thought Suh would be a star in the NFL and so far he’s been on track to do just that. He ended the 2010 season with 10 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. His numbers are pretty good, but the intangibles of his game don’t translate on paper. The pressures, the hits to the QB, all of those things are a part of Suh’s game. And with a defensive mind like Jim Schwartz at the helm of the Lions, he’s going to be a problem in this league for a long time.
Offensive Player Of The Year- Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
Yes, we all know this is my boo. But I promise you, this is an unbiased choice. Rivers lead the league in passing yards (4,710) and was Top 5 in TDs (31), QB rating (101.8) and completion % (66%). Even more impressive about Rivers this season? He was able to maintain having the #1 offense in the league without the likes of Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill, Antonio Gates, Malcolm Floyd and Ryan Matthews all being healthy or on the roster… at ONCE! You can pretend you knew who Seyi Ajirotutu was before he caught a TD pass by Rivers, but you’re probably a liar (yeah, I said it!) . He’s the leader of this team without question, and if the Chargers had better special teams this season, they would be in the playoffs. He deserves the credit.
Defensive Player Of The Year- Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh Steelers
I’m going to catch a LOT of flack about this… mainly because I don the black and purple real heavy. I really had a hard time picking this award, because Packers LB Clay Matthews and Ravens S Ed Reed both made great cases of being the DPOY. But Polamalu had so many game changing plays this season that’s it’s hard to take this away from him. I say all the time, the Steelers won the AFC North this season because of Polamalu alone, with that game breaking hit against Flacco. When he’s not playing, the Steelers hurt… bad! Forget Ben being the most important piece for Pittsburgh, Polamalu is and it’s without question.I’m gonna get windmilled by Ravens Nation for this.. but I can’t hate on Troy, he’s a game changer. He wins, in my book.
Comeback Player Of The Year- Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles
I’m sure a lot of people will feel some kind of way about this pick. Many believe he should be the MVP of the league. And if he’s not that, then he’s the OPOY. But I disagree. The numbers don’t back that up and I mentioned why in my previous blog post . But to deny what Vick has come from in the past 2 years, only to play at such a high level this season is foolish and he deserves recognition for it. He’s still one of the most exciting players in the league and the Eagles wouldn’t be playoff bound if it weren’t for Vick. The sky is the limit for him and I hope he’s allowed to stay in Philly to grow. If not, there will be more than a dozen teams throwing money at his feet once the season is over. Comeback is an understatement for Vick. He’s BALLIN’!
NFL MVP- Tom Brady, New England Patriots
You can hate the Uggs, the Bieber cut, the wifey, the coach and the partridge in a pear tree. But you’d be the ultimate hater if you say he’s undeserving of this award. I’m not going to get into a debate about it. If you want to know why I chose him, it’s simple… you can google him. Tom Brady is the MVP whether folks like it or not. And on that note… Exit left, stage right.
Happy New Year, boys and girls!!! And then there were 12. The regular season is over but the playoffs are just beginning. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to see the best of the best (minus the Seahawks) get ready to slug it out to see who’s gonna hold the Lombardi trophy this February. It’s a melancholy feeling, because it’s only about 4 weeks of football left, which immediately makes me sad. But then I have to remind myself that my team is in the dance.
So back to Happy Happy Joy Joy Land I go! It’s also Black Monday and by the looks of the head coaches fired in-season (4 of them, to be exact), I expect a big turnover and flip flopping of coaches to take place this week. So coaches on the chopping block, you better hide your kids, hide your wives and hide your bank accounts.. cause they firing everybody out here!
As a Ravens fan, I’m glad we’re 12-4 and in the playoffs. But I’d be lying if I told you I was confident going into Wild Card Weekend. The football gods gave us a pass and re-routed us to KC instead of Indy, who the Ravens haven’t beaten in a LOOOOOOONG time. But this team scares me. They’ve looked lost at times this season and have played along with their opponent. They took New England all the way to OT but they also did the same with the Buffalo Bills. I have no idea what team will show up come Sunday. But if it’s the team that played yesterday against the Bengals, then my squad is in trouble!!!
Brett Favre says he’s finally done with his career…. I say…..
The Raiders have become the ONLY team since the 1970 merger to sweep their division and NOT make the playoffs. On one side, you know that Oakland has something to build on for 2011 and beyond. On the other side, how can you be so awesome against your own division, but be 2-8 against everybody else? Oakland is on the rise… but they have a ways to go to get there.
Shout out to the Detroit Lions for going into the offseason with a 4-game winning streak. 6-10 is a hell of a lot better than 0-16. Baby steps, Detroit… baby steps.
S/O to the NFC West for the highway robbery of a playoff spot. Your whole division sucks, and your 7-9 NFC West champs in the Seahawks get to host a playoff game. I hope New Orleans beats you into Mortal Kombat submission as a reminder to why the NFL needs to tweak the current playoff system.
S/O to Kerry Collins for passing Johnny Unitas for passing yards all-time (11th). No, I’m serious… He did!
As for your fumble late in the 4th quarter that would’ve given you the win against Indy…..
S/O to my boo, Philip Rivers.. for just being YOU! You always have a fan in me. I’m just glad we don’t have to play you in the postseason.
If you’re Tampa Bay or the New York Giants and their fans, you’re sick as hell right now…. But at least you ended on a good note, right?!?! I’m not helping am I??? Okay, I’ll shut up now……………
If you missed this week’s “NFL Sound FX”, you missed a great segment featuring Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Getting his 2nd start, Sound FX mics up the former Gators QB as he leads his team from a comeback victory to beat the Houston Texans, 24-23.
It’s not secret that I love Timmy. It’s something about these cornfed, fiery quarterbacks from the South that really gets me fired up (Tebow is the Christian version of my boo, Philip Rivers. And yes, I posted this pic for my own enjoyment).
Tebow may not have all of the physical tools, but his leadership and passion isn’t matched by many in this league.
The best part of the video comes at the 4:25 mark, when Tebow tells his coach, “There’s only one person that carries the ball right here!”. Next thing you know, QB keeper in the end zone for the go-ahead score. A rookie that tells his coaches what to do…. I think I’m in love!!! I love this show and this was one of the best segments of the season. Better than the Joe Flacco and Andre Johnson segments by far!
Congrats to my Ravens for going to the playoffs 3 straight seasons in a row. In this franchise’s short history, the Ravens have done so much in so little time. Playoff berths, division titles and a Super Bowl is quite a feat. The next step is another ring back to Charm City, but I’ll take it one week at a time right now. Ravens QB Joe Flacco also has a few accolades to go with this joyous occasion. He became the 6th fastest QB to throw for 10,000 yards, tied with 2nd most wins by a QB in his first 3 seasons with 34 regular and playoff wins, and last but not at all the least, joins Dan Marino and Bernie Kosar as the only QBs to go to the playoffs their first 3 years in the league. People always talk about my main man Joe, but you don’t make accomplishments like this being a mediocre QB. Ask Kyle Boller, who had a better defense than Joe did during his tenure in Baltimore.
XP: Dear Ed Reed…. we love you dearly, but if you lateral a ball one mo’gin………………..
Yesterday was a sad day for the state of New York. Buffalo got that azz beat skull dragged by the Patriots, the Jets gave up 38 points in a loss to the Bears and the Giants got mudd stomped by the Packers. The G-Men still look dazed from last week’s epic fail in the Eagles come-from-behind win, and Buffalo didn’t have a real chance in hell against New England this time around.
But if you’re looking for a silver lining, it’s simply this…. the Jets still earned a playoff berth due to Jacksonville’s loss to the Redskins. But going into the playoffs, you have to be concerned as a Jets fan. The Jets have one of the top defenses in the league, yet gave up too many points in yesterday’s loss. The Jets have also lost 3 of their last 4 games. Get it together Gang Green… and fast.
It’s Shout Out time! Let me show some players/teams some Week 16 love.
S/O to Tim Tebow for doing the unthinkable: Throwing for over 300 yards in his first NFL season. Tebow brought the Broncos back from a 17-point deficit at halftime to beat the Houston Texans, 24-23. I’m a Gators fan and a Tebow supporter, but even I didn’t think he would throw for 300 yards. I’m happy for him and even more so proud that he’s shown all the naysayers, myself included, that he can be a decent QB in this league.
S/O to the Detroit Lions for finally getting it. It may be a little late, but it’s a great confidence builder for 2011 and beyond. Detroit just made next year’s NFC North a competitive division again.
S/O to Peyton Manning for the most awkward, funniest run I’ve ever seen.
Dude looked like a bobble head out there. Fantasy football owners are beyond pissed that he didn’t score, but that slide was epic! I never knew you had it in you, Pey-Pey (yeah.. I just made that up. He needs a nickname for that play alone!).
S/O to the Bengals for knocking the Chargers out of the playoffs. Before I get swarmed with, “I can’t believe you” and , “You’re rooting against your boo, Philip Rivers?”, let me say this. Cincinnati did everyone else in the AFC a favor. No one…. and I mean just that… NO ONE.. wanted to see San Diego in the playoffs. My team included. The fact that Cincy wiped them out of contention is a football godsend. The Chargers would have been a problem. And I don’t feel bad about my thoughts at all.
XP: I hope my boo understands and isn’t mad………. it’s just business, not personal.
S/O to the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys for giving us a good game to watch on X-mas night. It usually works that way, 2 bad teams on paper making it interesting. Last year it was the Lions/Browns. this year it was the Cowboys/Cardinals. It must really suck, though, if you’re a Dallas native who dropped your Xmas plans to go to Arizona and witness your team lose to a team that’s badder than you…….
S/O to the Carolina Panthers for winning the #1 overall pick for the 2011 NFL Draft. If you’re gonna suck, you gotta be the best at it, and Carolina was without a doubt the worst team in the league this year. The beauty about parity in the NFL is you can go from garbage to a playoff contender in no time. But for now, it doesn’t hurt that you get first dibs on college’s best because you just can’t get right.
S/O to the NFL for wimping out and canceling last night’s Vikings-Eagles game. The NFL of old would have never canceled a game. I know it’s all about the fan safety and what not… but ask people that attended the Ice Bowl, the Snowplow Game or the Freezer Bowl if they wished they would’ve had the same courtesy. I’m just saying……………….
If you had to caption the fight between 49ers head coach Mike Singletary and QB Troy Smith on the sidelines during yesterday’s game against the Rams, what would you think it was about?
My guess is, it went like this:
Mike Singletary: If you keep throwing dumb ass INTs like that, not only will I bench you right now but I’m gonna cut your ass come tomorrow!
Troy Smith: Cut me?! How are you gonna cut me when your ass is on the chopping block your damn self?!
MS: This isn’t about me….. Right now, I HAVE THE POWER! (In He-Man voice). Don’t make me drop my pants to my knees again, boy!
TS: Old man, sitcho dumb azz down. I promise you, you’ll be gone before me!
Welp… guess which one was right? Bye Bye Singletary……….. It’s been real!
If any of you follow me on Twitter, my bio says that I’m a Philip Rivers apologist. It’s no secret that I have a healthy obsession of the Chargers star player (No need to get extra protection, Rivers camp LOL!). I get asked a BILLION times a week about what that actually means. I tell them, I love #17 and everything he stands for from a football perspective as well as what he does off-the-field. Since today is his 29th birthday, what better way than to show my gratitude for one of the baddest SOB’s in today’s game.
Many people don’t like Rivers for a number of reasons. Whatever you think of him, an a-hole, a jerk or whatever… there’s more to a guy who I believe is extremely misunderstood. People tend to mistake one’s passion for arrogance or cockiness (which, I have no problem with that either, as long as the results show). But there’s more to Rivers than football. Here are some little known facts why maybe…. just maybe… you should give him a second chance.
He’s the ultimate ride-or-die competitor. I could give his numbers, how well he’s played since taking over the QB position in 2006, his projected 2010 numbers and his MVP candidacy for the season. But if you ever need a reminder of how much a leader this guy is, always go back to the 2007 season, when he tore his ACL during the playoffs. Rivers continued to play in the AFC Championship game with the injury. The same projected “douchebag” is the same guy that doesn’t even use curse words when expressing himself. Chargers teammate Shaun Phillips once said that there are 3 things that best describes Rivers: Faith, Family And Football. Phillips also says there isn’t one guy on the team that doesn’t like Rivers and confirms that the Cutler-Rivers feud was sparked by Cutler, not Rivers, but only Rivers was caught on camera.
Contrary to his bad boy rep in the league, Rivers is nothing of the sort at home. I guess in the offseason, Rivers is a busy, busy man. Married to wife Tiffany, the Rivers clan has a nice little Starting 5. Four daughters and son, Rivers is well known as a family man around Alabama. He’s a devoted Catholic that comes from a tight knit family and his father, Steve, was his coach in HS.
Because of Rivers’ close family background, Rivers started the Rivers Of Hope Foundation, which helps children in foster care find permanent loving homes as well as help develop and coordinate resources and programs to create community awareness, recruit adoptive families, provide financial aid for adoption and assistance for foster children and orphans.
I know this won’t change the minds of many (Colts and Broncos fans in particular, but you can’t win them all), but sometimes it takes a different perspective to show you more about a person. You don’t even have to like Rivers on a personal level, but his numbers make you respect what he does on Sundays. Will he ever win a ring? Hard to say, considering head coach Norv Turner doesn’t have a history of playoff success. But if ever you needed a key player on your team, Philip Rivers is “that guy” you want on your team. This year, he’s played with guys we’ve never even heard of, yet he’s won with them catching his passes. That’s what great players do- win against the odds. All he needs is a ring to solidify his greatness.
The miseducation of Philip Rivers will never go away. But maybe this will at least give you a different side of him, one that’s never talked about. A family guy and a great player, this is why he’s one of my favorite players! Happy Birthday to you!
Last night, my Ravens give the game away lost to the Steelers in a bloody, hard hitting battle. It was what everyone expected it would be and more. Great division matchup against two teams built so much alike, from the bottom up. And a great rivalry that doesn’t come with style points, but they come hard fought. Players on both sides found themselves on the sidelines instead of being on the field, but the game must go on. Ben Roethlisberger played with a broken nose, and although he didn’t have a stellar night, he played when it mattered, throwing the TD pass to Isaac Redman with 2:51 remaining in the 4th quarter to give Pittsburgh the go-ahead score. The play came moments after S Troy Polamalu strips Joe Flacco of the ball, untouched. The Ravens had controlled the tempo of the entire game up until that point. It was a game changer and ultimately, a heart breaker for the Ravens in their 13-10loss. If there were any a time that the Denny Green speech was a great way to describe my feelings… now is the time!
I wasn’t mad about it last night, but this morning I woke up and felt sick about it. Sick about the way the game played out… sick about things that could have, should have went different. But alas…… Pittsburgh won, has sole possession of 1st place in the AFC North, and life must go on. But I have to say, it’s a damn hard pill to swallow.
OT: I’ve said this all year long… my Ravens lack killer instinct. Running the ball in the 4th qtr against the #1 rushing defense with a 4 point lead is NOT how you finish teams. Anquan Boldin was brought here to be the answer to the Steelers, and he showed why in the beginning of the game. Feed him the ball, and regularly. The play calling is very questionable. And while I love Cam Cameron, I have to wonder if he’s over-thinking his play calling. Something’s gotta give, though. Championship teams put teams away when they have the chance and right now the Ravens aren’t it.
Can someone find the horse shoe that’s stuck up the Atlanta Falcons organization’s butt? They continue to find ways to win at the end of games. They are lucky as hell… but they are also damn good. Good teams find ways to win and the Falcons have done just that this season.
Could the Rams really win the NFC West? I think so. The 49ers are hot and cold, the Seahawks don’t have an identity and the Cardinals suck (FREE LARRY FITZGERALD!). Out of all the teams in that division, the Rams have been the most consistent and have every opportunity to win the NFC West. It’s a great story considering the Rams have won a total of 6 games the previous 3 years and they’ve already matched that win total this year alone. It’s also a testament of how awful the NFC West is.
The Colts are struggling this year. They just lost their 3rd straight game yesterday, after losing to the Cowboys 38-35 in OT. Peyton Manning has thrown 4 TD and 11 INTs in the last 6 games, which is very un-Manning-like. But the problem is simple- Manning is overcompensating. Overcompensating for all of the weapons his team has lost on both sides of the ball this season. Manning is trying to put his team on his shoulders, but they are so depleted that it’s not working this time around. These aren’t just your regular backups, these guys were working at Walmart the week before they came to Indy. They were never as banged up as they are this season. Manning is still a great QB but he’s not in the position to do what he’s done in years past. Time to look forward to next year, when all are healthy. 2010 isn’t your year, Colts fans.
SMH at you, San Diego……
You’ve NEVER lost in December since my boo Philip Rivers has taken over the team. You were 1 game behind the Chiefs for the AFC West, and you failed to show up and continue your normal December run against the Raiders. The window is slowly closing on your playoff chances.
On the another side…. I have no idea what Raiders team will show up, week after week. Last Sunday, they had 16 rushing yards. Yesterday, they had 251 rushing yards. Who the hell are you guys???? Please let us know what team to look forward to in advance, please and thanks.
The Bengals are nominated for making the year’s dumbest move for the 2010 season. With 34 seconds left, the Bengals were ahead of the Saints, 30-27. On 4th and 2 at the Bengals 7-yard line, the Saints opted to look as if they are going for it. I thought it was pretty textbook for what New Orleans was trying to do, have Drew Brees go to the line, and do a hard count to try and get the defender to go offsides. If none else fails, they call a timeout, kick a FG and put the game into overtime. But lookie here, a Bengals defender didn’t get the memo. Offsides was called, new set of downs given, and the Saints score the go-ahead TD to give the Saints the win, 34-30. This is why the Bengals are bad. It’s not the big things, it’s the little things that have the Bengals playing like the Bungles of old.
Memo To Drew Stanton: You need to ask someone to teach you how to Dougie… No I’m serious… your dougie sucks!
On a similar note: What is up with athletes wanting to Dougie? What about doing the Kid N Play, the Roger Rabbit or even the Chicken Noodle Soup?? Okay, scratch the Chicken Noodle Soup part, but you get my point. If you wanna celebrate, do something different or a little more creative.
Brandon Jacobs, welcome back!
I would comment on the 49ers, Broncos, Bills and Redskins… But, why????????????????
