The Manning Conspiracy

I hope everyone caught what I call the Manning conspiracy during the Super Bowl. Is it me, or did the Colts keep the former bayou Bengal, Joseph Addai, off the field so he couldn't rack up the numbers to get the Cadillac? I mean Rhodes did a nice job,and Manning did what he had to do by managing the game properly. But Addai was the one that carried that team when they most needed it. The man was a workhorse receiving and running the ball. And let's not forget the blocking he did when he had to pick up the blitzes. Still, at the end, when Indy was running out the clock, there my man stood on the sidelines; just watching and waiting for Ms. Manning to get the keys to the Caddy.

I know I know, what else were they going to do? It was, after all, Peyton's Super Bowl; and if it was even a little close, you know the MVP was going to him. But still, it doesn't seem fair. There is no way Manning was the MVP of that game, and I think 91 million people know it.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, thank you Rex Grossman for stinking up the joint, and now causing the iggles to probably lose Jeff Garcia as a back up to five next season. I am sure he can get that four million he is asking for on the open market from da Bears . Trust me, Jeff's wife would look better than Grossman right about now. I know this was his first full year, but he is clueless out there, and throws a terrible deep ball. "It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a Rex Grossman deep ball". Yuck!

Before I go I would like to offer my best wishes to the Andy Reid family for what they are going through with their main line gangster sons. Are you kidding me? Drugs, guns, a scale, and drug paraphernalia? And I am not talking just any drugs, I am talking the big "H" here. And to think the guy kicked Jabar Gafney off the team because he was stopped with an unregistered gun in his car. Andy, I am going to leave you with the words of that old Southern Gospel group, The Williams Brothers: "Sweep around your own front door, before you sweep around mine"

I'm out.

Happy New Year!

Well it's a new year, and the field is pumped. I caught some of the bowl games, and I was ...well bowled over by some of the performances. First, I must give some love to LSU, for stomping those hated "domers". (God I hate Notre Dame) Charlie the fat man was totally out coached and I think we should hold off on that bust of him right in front of touchdown Jesus for now.

Did anyone see the Boise State Oklahoma game? Classic! Except for the part where that running back proposed to his cheer leader girlfriend. Was it just me, or did that seem just a way bit creepy. What else? Oh, it seems some of these mid major conferences -especially the WAC gave a good accounting of themselves. The SEC on the other hand, I am not so sure about. No way Tennessee should have lost to Penn State, and I will get to Bama in a minute.

OK minute up. Yes folks, my beloved Tide backed up the Brinks truck to Nick Saban's door and he could not resist. Isn't non-prophet status great? 40 million over ten years, now that's big time. I was starting to wonder there for a minute. I mean the West Virginia coach turned us down for crying out loud. WEST VIRGINIA! Like since when did that become a storied program over Alabama? I know the folks down in Bayou country are fuming, but get over that sh**, you would have done the same thing. Can you imagine if DeMarcus Russell had stayed home and not went to Baton Rouge? Well folks, I think Mr. Saben was thinking the same thing.

Nice to see the Sixers put together a nice little winning streak. And yes, A.I. is doing just fine in that mile high altitude. Just wait until Melo gets back, they are going to be so sick together. I can see A.I. averaging twelve dimes a game now.

My Iggles play the G-Men this Sunday in the playoffs, and I can't wait. In case you did not know, that is absolutely the team I hate the most in the no fun league. They talk allot of crap, and can never back it up. And I am so tired of the whole Manning family thing. None of those boys have ever won squat on any level, so please folks no more of the Manning boys until they can actually win when it counts. Like how do you think those idiots in New York are feeling right about now after damn near giving the Super Bowl to San Diego? I said it then and I will say it again; New York should have taken Phillip Rivers.

Hey, whatever happened to Anthony Mason?

The Week That Was

So my iggles finally broke their losing streak with a nice win over the Skins-who was that left handed impostor of Mark Brunell playing QB for Washington Sunday?-The D looked good, and they finally ran the damn ball. Dante Stallworth looks like the real deal, he runs nice patterns, and has world class speed. Now if he can just stay healthy.

Lovie's Bears might be for real after all. The put a nice ass whupping on the G men, even though half of their line was out, it was still a nice win for da Bears. Did anyone catch the San Diego Cincinnati game? Hey, I thought Marvin Lewis was supposed to preach defense?
Indy is still undefeated, so what else is new. They will win twelve or thirteen games this year, and lose in the playoffs before they can get to the big game again. Why you say? I will tell you why: He is called Peyton, and that guy could never win the big one. He had to leave Tennessee for them to get a National Championship.

I want to switch gears real quick, and talk about the General. Now this is a tough one for me, because I loved John Chaney when he was coaching, and I saw him grab his players all the time. But Bobby Knight has a history, and he should know better than thumping a player on his chin in the middle of a fuc*&%g game. The man has some serious anger management problems. But hey, if the player or his parents didn't have a problem with it, I am going to leave it alone.
But I love the hypocrites who were screaming at the University of Miami President for her to do something about her players after that fight, but have no problem with the Texas Tech administration staying quiet on this one. Hey, is that crickets I hear?

Looking forward to Michigan Ohio State this Saturday, I am not sure if Super Mario is playing or not. If he is, I am taking Michigan in a squeaker. If not, I am going with The Ohio State University.

What? An African didn't win the NYC Marathon? Just WTF is the world coming to?
