The news is not good for David Pollack... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well last week I posted about DavidPollack
getting his halo device removed and we would ahve to wait aobut a week to find out if he had to have neck surgery to completly heal his broken neck.If the title didn't tip you off, well, it turns out he will have to have the spinal fusion surgery. All though it is good news that he will recover, the surgery will pretty much end his career. Although the neck will be repaired the risk for another broken neck is highley likely. And doctors said if you break your neck once you may be able to play football again, but if you break your neck twice you may not be able to walk again. I have said many times that Pollack is one of my favorite football players and I am really upset by this news. The fan in me wants to see him back on the field, but their is nothing more important than family and if playing football again risks him being able to do something that is taken so for granted as walking or one day being able to play with your kids then there i
Is it possible to blow a 77 point lead? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well Davey mentioned that he is currently locked in a tight contest in the semi-finals of our fantasy playoffs. Well not me, Davey was nice enough to end my misery and he knocked me out last week. Most people would be angry if their best friend knocked you out of the playoffs, they would stand outside that friends window contemplating murder while they slept...but good thing I don't hold grudges.Well I am just trying to lock up a 5th place spot right now, I currently have a 77 point
lead and for most that would be a definite win, but not yours truely, I have been know to give away a 40+ lead on the final game so I wouldn't put it past me. And it really doesn't help that he's still has three guys available. Carson Palmer, Marvin Harrison and T.J. Houshmanzedah, so you can see why i'm sweating just a tad.To top things off, I am a huge Bengal fan, so I want Carson to light up the Colts, but I guess as long as he just throws touchdowns to Chad and booking no. 4758-61543 aka Chris Henr

A look back at the year that was 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So, I promised I would make a post with a look back at the year that was, and yes, it's finally done. Most people could write a post like this within an hour or two, but since I'm slow and have the motor skills of a drunk penguin, it takes me about 4 days.Anyways, here are the winners and losers of 2006.Best BookI probably should be reading more than I am right now, but in between writing new episodes for Freddie and trying out for that Jamaican Bobsled team, I just don't have much time. I haven't actually read a single book completely this past calendar year and that should probably explain why my grammar and writing skills are so poor. I am currently reading some E-Books on some geeky, computer related stuff and I hope to atleast finish those. That's if Ricky Manning Jr doesn't decide to plant his foot in my skull first.Best movieOne of my favorite things to do besides picking fights with lemurs is watching a nice movie. I have a pretty fancy setup at my house and I usually end

So far so good... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well so far it's still very early in the Bowl games, but my record is very good. I am 4-1 with 1 game still going on. I kinda blew it with the Troy vs Rice game, I mean I was way off, just plain embarrassing, like almost as embarrassing as getting a busted lip that bleeds for 15 minutes because your 3 year old sister decides to jump off the couch and do a diving headbutt landing right on my...I mean your mouth while you weren't paying attention...that totally didn't happen today...I'm still waiting for the "real" bowls to start...the BCS bowls. But their is going to be a very good game on tomorrow, Hawaii vs Arizona State. I'm picking Hawaii because of Colt Brennan...if you're not Christmas shopping or trying to keep that family member who has had a few to many out of the hospital/jail...if you know what I mean, then check this game out, Brennan could set two records tomorrow...Most touchdown passes in a season and Most touchdowns in a career...by the way,he's only a junior.So H
Zito isn't a Met and that excites me. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today Barry Zito agreed to a 7 yr $126m contract with the San Fransico Giants. There was a lot of talk that Zito would be in the big apple by the start of the season either with the Mets or the Yankees. I am obviously a huge Braves fan so him not being a Metropolitan is huge.After not winning the NL East for the first time in 14 years last year, we've been trying to make alot of moves to put us back in the mix. Well with are small budget and are unwillingness to go after free-agents that don't suck(Sturtze!), the only way to get solid players is by trading.Here are some current trade rumors involving my beloved Braves:ATL- Melky CabreraPIT- Adam LaRocheNYY- Mike GonzalezI don't really like this trade. It would basically be us giving up a top power 1B that happens to be a lefty, something that almost every team wants. We could get alot more than just Melky, we would have to get at least Scott Proctor and maybe even a young pitcher from the Pirates for us to get somewhat full value fo
That's how we play defense in South Florida 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There's been very little to be happy about around here lately, but luckily something came along that gives me an excuse to be a big, arrogant assbag and act very smug.Jason Taylor. Defensive Player of the year.As expected, JT capped his tremendous season by winning the award, edging out Champ Bailey and Shawne Merriman. Taylor finished the season with 62 tackles, 13 1/2 sacks, 14 quarterback hurries, two interceptions, 11 passes defensed, 10 fumbles forced, two fumbles recovered and two TD's. Yes, take a minute to crunch those numbers...There's Jason right there, making Tom Brady lose various types of bodily fluid. That's why Bridget Moynahan broke up with Brady. The last time they went out, Tom got sacked by Taylor while they were having dinner in a restaurant.And that's why Nick Saban left for Alabama. Jason sacked him while he was trying to celebrate new years with his family. Kind of hard to retain your respect after that...It's been a busy week for JT. Besides winning this Read more:South

A couple of free agents that would look good in Miami 1970-01-01 00:59:59 With free agency looming, I thought it'd be interesting to take a look at some guys that in my opinion would look very good in a Miami
Dolphins uniform.Leonard Davis, OT, Arizona CardinalsMiami's offensive line has made strides under line coach Hudson Houck but there's still plenty of room for improvement and especially at left tackle, where Damion McIntosh has been one of the worst starters in the league. If the Cardinals don't manage to hold on to their massive tackle Davis, he would be a very nice fit on the left side of Miami's line. With Davis and Vernon Carey on the outside, Miami would have a very nice foundation to build around on the o-line.Adalius Thomas, LB, Baltimore RavensAdalius Thomas is probably the most versatile defender in all of football, having played every single position on defense and that should make him a hot commodity come free agency. Zach Thomas is still on top of his game and should still be able to give 2 or 3 quality seasons. Channing Crowder is one Read more:couple

People get paid to write stuff like this 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Miami Dolphins are busy interviewing candidates for the vacant head coaching job and a decision is expected to come within the next two weeks. A lot of fans, much like myself, don't like the idea of getting Pete Carroll but much rather go with an up-and-coming assistant such as Cam Cameron or Ron Rivera.Armando Salguero, a Miami Herald writer and Dolphin beat writer disagrees with us. I haven't had issues with an article in quite some time, but Armando took care of that very well.If I read you guys correctly - through your posts on this blog and emails sent to me -- you're not too keen on the idea of hiring Pete Carroll to be Miami's new coach.No, not really. We've been down that road before with a gentleman called Nick Saban and that didn't work out too well. Neither did Butch Davis in Cleveland or Steve Spurrier in Washington.That amazes me. I am not going to campaign for Carroll because I don't think he's the best available coach out there -- that would be either Mike Ma Read more:stuff
A quick recap. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's time to take a quick look at how i'm doing so far in my college football predictions.As of right now i'm 17-13. Yeah, not doing so well. I probably should mention that I made these picks the second they came out. Still, not an excuse, just pointing that out. Oh come on, I need to hold on what little dignity I have left. At least i'm guaranteed to finish above 500, unlike my Bengals.By the way, I chose Southern Miss to beat Ohio and Ohio State to come out victorious in the National Championship game.
Saturday night wrap-up. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Alot in the sports world has happend tonight. To name a few; the start of the 2006-2007 NFL playoffs, a major upset in college basketball and another tragic death.NFL Playoffs:KC- 8 INDY-23Almost all of the "experts projected Larry Johnson to gain at least 150 yards and 2 TDs against the worst run defense of the Colts. I have to admit, I thought LJ would get 40+ touches and 150 yards but I was leaning towards only 1 TD. Well like most things in my life, I was wrong. Johnson only had 13 rushes and a miserable 32 yards. What the hell happened to the defense that gave up damn near 400 rushing yards to Jacksonville less than a month ago? But with all that aside, Peyton Manning was less than spectacular throwing 3 picks, but did manage to throw for 268 yards and connect with Reggie Wayne in the end zone with less than 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. The big contributors in this game besides the Colts' D(who would've thunk it?) were Dallas "don't show me grunting on a video game without my Read more:Saturday
Sunday night wrap up. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Once again, Sunday
was filled with plenty of football action, a big trade in baseball and a couple of interesting coaching moves.The Big Unit involved in a Big Trade:On Sunday the deal that sent Randy Johnson back the D-Backs was completed with Johnson agreeing to a 2-yr $26M deal. In this deal the Yankees aquired veteran reliever Luis Vizcaino, minor-league pitchers Ross Ohlendorf and Steven Jackson and minor league shortstop Alberto Gonzalez. Both teams are still waiting for all players to pass physicals.With the Yankees dealing Randy Johnson, it may be opening a spot for Roger Clemens to make his inmate return to the most famous pinstripes in sports.NFL Playoffs:NYJ- 16 NE- 37Few things are certain in this world today, but there always some that are, such as the Cubs will never win the World Series, Peyton Manning will crack under the pressure to win a Superbowl and Tom Brady and Patriots can't be beaten in January.Until the 4th quarter this was a very close game. But when it comes
Florida dominates and win their first title since 96'. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Coming into the game I thought Ohio State would win a close one, based on the Troy Smith/Ted Ginn factor. And on the opening kickoff Ted Ginn returned it 93 yards for a touchdown. So at that point I was like "ok, this is going to go well" but then Florida
promptly drove down the field and tied it up. From that point on it was all Florida.Anytime they needed a first down, Chris Leak was there to get it. Anytime they needed a big stop, that greedy defense was there. And anytime Florida needed to get pumped up, Emmitt Smith was there to do a shimmy. Florida dominated in all aspects of the game, Offense, defense and special teams.Besides Leak and all those great receivers, the defense put on one of the best performaces i've ever seen. Their d-line could not be blocked, the linebackers mixed in blitzing with covering extremely well and the defensivebacks shut down Anthony Gonzalez and others. The Heisman winner, Troy Smith looked horrible, he couldn't do anything. His offensive line gave
This is going to be a great draft. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am going to take this time to discuss the recent players declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft.1. Michael Bush RB, LOUComing into the 2006 College football season, Bush was in the top 5 for the Heisman race. But in the Cardinal's first game against Kentucky, Micheal Bush suffered a season ending injury. At the time of the injury, he had 128 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns, in the first half. Now Bush is a senior so this would be his last year regardless, but when you are injured like he was you get the option to take a medical red-shirt and he would be able to stay at Louisville and play next year. But Bush has opted out of that and has decided to go pro.With the recent hiring of Rick Petino, the now former Head Coach of Louisville, and former coach of Michael Bush, I am saying it right now, the Atlanta Falcons 2nd round pick will be Michael Bush. The Falcons struggled mightley in the redzone this year because they traded T.J. Duckett and they were stuck with two speed backs. Bush is a po
Reitsma....$2.05???Bill Bavasi is an idiot! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I guess the Seattle Mariners felt they didn't have enough former Braves pitchers that have not lived up to their potential and have had their fair share of injuries. Today they signed Chris Reitsma to a 1 yr $2.05M contract with a 2008 team option for $2.7M. Now this makes absolutely no sense to me. Reitsma, the same guy who hid an injury for half the season, that ended up needing season-ending surgery, the same guy who's ERA was almost 9.00, the same guy that made more Braves fans consider suicide than Dr. Kevorkian. I can speak from personal experience, when Reitsma came in for the 9th, I knew he would walk the first two guys, give up a couple of singles and eventually flush another would be win right down the shitter. But yeah, let them give him 2 million dollars more than he deserves, M's fans can look forward to the 8th inning to be hell for the next year, he'll get your hopes up by throwing 90+ mph and then you'll realize that it's about 5 inches off the plate. So good job
Lets go ahead and get this over with. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 OK, I've been on vacation for the past week or so, so I wasn't able to watch as much football as I would've liked to, but of course I took time to watch the whole Chick-Fil-A Bowl game. The match-up was my Virginia Tech Hokies vs The Georgia Bulldogs.We had the #1 defense in the nation and they had the #9, we had a unproven QB that has made tons of mistakes and they had a true freshman starting that hadn't lived up to his potential yet. You see, both teams were very similar. I thought, much like many other people, that it would be a low scoring defensive struggle. Well I was sorta right. The game, at first, was all defense and pretty much no offense. But then thanks to our defense and special teams, we were able to score 21 points in the second quarter.The second half was a complete mess. Sean Glennon couldn't do anything right. Interception after interception. All the blame can't be placed on him though, the offensive line was atrocious, I mean they couldn't block a two year ol Read more:ahead
My off-season wishlist 1970-01-01 00:59:59 After reading Davey's latest post on which free-agents he would like to see in South Beach, that got me thinking, which free-agents/draft picks would I like my Bengals to go after. Well here they are, the future members of the Cincinnati Bengals.Free-Agents:Adalius Thomas, OLB, BALHe will surely be one of the most sought after free-agents this offseason. That is unless the Ravens are able to re-sign him. It's been no secret how bad Cincy's defense has been this year. It's very simple, if you can't stop the run, then you won't win. I actually like our line-backing core for the most part, with Landon Johnson, Caleb Miller and the possibility of the return of David Pollack. But Adailius Thomas would surely improve our defense, he could replace Brian Simmons who missed 6 games last year and only accumulated 61 tackles in the ten games he did play in and he will be 32 when the 2007 season starts.Eric Johnson, TE, SFBesides DT, this is one of our biggest needs this offseason. We don't
There's that silly argument again 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Over at Espn's Page 2, there is a little debate between Kieran Darcy and Scoop Jackson on which freshman sensation is better, Ohio State's Greg Oden or Texas' Kevin Durant.Darcy gives 10 reasons to pick Oden while Scoop sides with Durant. My severe dyslexia and short attention span kept me from reading the full article but one of Darcy's arguments did manage to poke my retina ever so gently.Now, I don't want to make it seem like I can give better analysis. Ofcourse I can't. My analogy would be something like this. "Oden looks like he's 52. Draft Durant." But still, I hate it when people bring up the fact that a certain player doesn't have a ring and that some other player is better because he does have a ring.A lot more than just individual talent comes in to play. Trent Dilfer. Dan Marino. That should make it as clear as possible. Either way, here's Darcy's take."Oden is poised to be a franchise center, someone you can build a team around. Franchise centers usually win champ
Talk about bitter sweet. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In the latest coaches' poll the Connecticut Huskies dropped out of the top 25 for the first time since 2003. A pretty impressive streak of 69 straight polls snapped with our third loss in the past 4 games. With losses at West Virginia, LSU and Marquette and then you take in to count that we have no seniors or juniors starting(or even decent bench players) I see why were not even putting up a fight against higher ranked teams.Don't get me wrong though, by March I think we'll be in great shape to make a run. Putting my biased nature aside, I don't think this team is quite ready for a national championship. Were missing alot of parts at this point, such as down low presence, pure shooter that can hit a big three(like Rashad Anderson last year) and I would like to see A.J. Price develop a little more into a solid point guard. With all these things coming together, we could be cutting down the nets maybe as soon as next year.Big Men:Obviously when you have a 7'2" guy on your team he's
Booking # 457-64164 is at it again...those crazy kids. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today Judge Douglas Grothaus sentenced Cincinnati Bengal's wide receiver, Chris Henry to 90 days in jail for providing alcohol to minors. Judge Grothaus is requiring Henry to serve 48 hours of the sentence, and if he messes up one more time in Kenton County, he will serve the remaining 88 days.This latest arrest stems from a night back in April where Henry was in a Covington hotel room where minors were drinking. The prosecution said Henry was the adult who rented the hotel suite that night, drove the car to the store where the alcohol was bought and accordingly bears the responsibility under Covington ordinance for the conduct of others who were drinking in the room, which happened to include three females who were all underage.In addition to the jail time Henry must:Pay a $250 fine plus court costs.Have no criminal activity for two years.Not consume alcohol or drugs for two years.Report to the Kentucky Alternative Program for drug and alcohol assessment.Give two speeches - one at T Read more:Booking
Amobi Okoye likes his Tea(bags). 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have made it clear that the Cincinnati Bengals need a defensive tackle in the 2007 NFL Draft. I have also mentioned that they guy I want is Amobi Okoye. Okoye is a 19 year-old phenom out of the University of Louisville. He is a 6'1" 317 lb beast that is extremely strong, surprisingly fast for an interior lineman and would go a long way in helping our horrible run defense.Not only can Okoye stop the run, he is also a good pass rusher, recording 8 sacks last season. Some draft sites have said that he is ideal for a nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme, but I think he would look just fine in our orange and black."The NFL Draft has never seen a player quite like this and even though he is a very good prospect now it's his upside that is really intriguing." said NFL Draft Countdown. Well during a week 3 game against Miami(FL), Amobi Okoye and Tyrone Moss had a sit down conversation. One that was probably extremely uncomfortable for each involved. I'm more so for Moss. Anyway here is what was co
Cleveland Browns (4-12) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 2006 record: 4-12Head Coach: Romeo CrennelOffensive Coordinator: Rob ChudzinskiDefensive Coordinator: Todd GranthamPro-Bowl: NoneOffenseTheir offense does have some weaknesses but it has the potential to be very good with stand-outs such as Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow and Charlie Frye. Frye did miss the final three games of the season due to a bruised wrist. Before Frye's injury he was off to a nice season, completing almost 65% of his passes, throwing for over 2400 yards and tossing 5 touchdowns. The only downfall of his play was the interceptions(17). There running game was awful this year. Ranking 2nd to last in total rushing yards as a team. Due to Reuben Droughgns down season. Although he did miss 2 games and did miss 4 starts(due to shoulder and ankle injuries) he wasn't very affective anyway, only averaging 3.4 a carry and a total of 758 rushing yards and just 4 touchdowns. Braylon Edwards had a nice season, not great but a good one. He almost doubled his rookie season sta Read more:Cleveland

We can't even beat Providence...YES PROVIDENCE! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 What happened to the Connecticut Huskies that I have known and loved for 9 years? What happened to the team that has won 2 National Championships in the last 8 years? Not only have we fell out of the top 25 for the first time in 4 years, we can't even win a game anymore. We have lost our last 4 games and 7 of our last 9.We absolutely killed all of the weaker competition earlier in the year and things were looking good, coming into our first road game(yes, our first 11 games were home games) against West Virginia we were ranked #11 and 11-0.So obviously I was excited, running around the streets of St.Louis with no shirt and some spandex shorts, that didn't really hide my boner to say the least. I mean when my teams are winning I tend to take the celebration a little to far. A frightened Chimpanzee at the St.Louis Zoo knows exactly what i'm talking about. Apparently the cops and the trainers don't like it when you strip off all your clothes and get into the ape cages and spoon with t
Ok, I admit defeat. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I feel a lot like Roy Williams at this point. Some may remember when Roy Williams left me speechless a couple of months ago when he guaranteed a victory over the Chicago Bears only to eventually lose by 27 points.With that said, just five days ago, I guaranteed a win over Depaul. On a side note I must mention, anytime someone guarantees a win, one of two things will happen. Either you guarantee a win and you win, you look like a genius for calling it and receive praise from everyone that you know, or you guarantee it and you lose, resulting ultimate embarrassment because you rode around your office on a sled being pulled by actual huskies with fitted jerseys of the UConn players for the past couple of days. I,of course am the latter.UConn fell once again, this time to Depaul. No, sadly I did not stutter. Depaul beat us, 66-58. Jim Calhoun decided to go with another new starting lineup this time benching Jerome Dyson for the first time all season, who coincidentally led us in scoring Read more:admit

But do to injured Kevin Jones only getting 181 rushing attempts the Lions
had the worst ranked rushing offense. Yes, even worse than the Raiders. But unlike the Raiders they were able to move the ball extremely well through the air with soon to be 35-year old Jon Kitna. Kitna was able to throw for 4,208 yards and 21 touchdowns. Very good numbers but then when you take into count that he threw 22 interceptions, well there is your problem with the offense. No running game and lots of turnovers, even Mike Martz can't solve that problem. Although Roy Williams did get a pro-bowl selection with 82 receptions and 1,310 yards receiving the Lions had another surprisingly good go-to receiver in former safety Mike Furrey.

Atlanta trades Adam LaRoche; Gonzalez joins the Braves. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Breaking news for all Braves
fans. The Atlanta
Braves traded star 1B to the Pirates for P Mike Gonzalez
and another unidentified player.This comes after months of the two teams talking and trying to get the deal done. But after the winter meetings this deal was apparently dead. But out of nowhere news broke just a few hours ago that the deal is done and both teams are just waiting for all players involved to pass physicals.I actually like this trade, I mean, I really liked LaRoche and at this point we don't have a replacement as good as Roachy but we do have Scott Thorman who is a power hitting first basemen. He will get the first shot at starting at firstbase. Plus with the addition of Gonzo we have instantly upgraded from the worst bullpen last year to the best in the NL and possibly even the ML. With Rafael Soriano coming in the 7th inning, Mike Gonzalez in the 8th and Bob Wickman closing in the 9th. HOT DAMN, looks good to me.UPDATE:It is now being reported that "unidentified pros

s involved in this big deal, Al Harrington is the best. Although he struggled in his first season back with Indiana, he was still able to have pretty decent numbers(16 ppg and 7 rebs).Bigger names sent to Indiana were Troy Murphy who is having a down season and Mike Dunleavy who although is only scoring 11 ppg that is still higher than his career average.IND- F Troy Murphy, F Mike Dunleavy, F Ike Diogu and G Kevin McCleodGS- F Al Harrington, G/F Stephen Jackson, F Josh Powell and G Sarunas Jasikevicius
Marcus...wait..no, it's Michael Vick is in trouble. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 According the Miami Herald,Falcon's quarterback, Michael
Vick was about to board a plane at the Miami International Aiport, when security at the Concourse G checkpoint asked him to surrender his water bottle, which had an Aquafina label. Security regulations prohibit travelers from carrying bottles with more than 3 ounces of liquid through checkpoints.After many requests, Vick eventually left the bottle behind and went to his gate. But after his initial reluctance to give up the bottle it aroused the suspicion of Transportation Security Administration screener Gertrude Joseph. She then pulled the bottle out of a recycle bin and notified her supervisor when she discovered what appeared to be a secret compartment that had a substance inside that smelled alot like marijuana.At this point, the police are still reviewing the evidence and no charges have been filed, but that could be changed after a drug test is run on the substance found in the bottle.
