It Ain't Tricking If You Got It....Or Is It? 2008-10-17 10:21:27 No matter what you thought of the debate this Wednesday, remember this fact. Nothing brings more men together of different race, creed or background than the appreciation of hot chicks in little-to-no clothing. NOTHING. Not football, not cars, not even free food.So since we’re a proud group of scantily-clad women appreciators here at Ed The Sports Fan, I must ask a question to my brethren. Ladie
Our 100th Post!! GET AT ME!! 2008-10-16 08:19:44 This is our 100th post here at Ed The Sports Fan and let me tell you, I never knew what I was getting myself into when I decided to create this virtual Internet space back in February of '08. I look at it like this, 100 down, 1000's to go!Just in case you've wondered, here are the most popular posts here at Ed The Sports Fan thus far...Be On My Grown Man Sh!t... - (Seen on Truth Merchants Mag, The
Wednesday Why’s 2008-10-15 12:45:30 My man Andrew Brandt from the National Football Post helps me reflect on some of my questions on the last couple of days...Why did Commissioner Goodell give Pacman Jones an “indefinite suspension”?Jones had clearly frustrated the Commissioner yet again. When he was reinstated to play for the Cowboys – something that was presumed when the Cowboys signed him while under suspension – he was h Read more:Wednesday
There are now 2 people named Roy Williams in Dallas 2008-10-14 15:31:24 I don't understand how they do it. I really don't. Literally moments after O Holy Ruler Roger Goddell came down with the fury from his pimp hand on Adam "Pacman" Jones, by suspending him for the season...Dallas

Monday Headlines 2008-10-13 13:48:53 From Ed The Sports FanRomo Out For MonthDallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand and will be out four weeks, a team source told ESPN's Michael Smith. Romo initially was diagnosed with a pinkie sprain in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Veteran quarterback Brad Johnson, the Cowboys' holder on kicks, is Romo's backup.The Dallas Cowboys have Read more:Monday
Monday's Football Reflections 2008-10-13 09:14:08 Wow, that was an interesting week.As you all know Ed had a bad day on Saturday. If you didn't know, Oklahoma failed to live up to its #1 ranking and lost to a much better than expected Texas team 45-35. Texas Longhorn QB Colt McCoy was truly amazing,, he made every throw and run Texas needed to win. You wouldn't know it by looking at the QB stats.Colt McCoy - 28 of 35, 277 yards, 1 TDSam Bradford Read more:Football

This Is More Than A Game... 2008-10-10 05:44:40 It is now Friday, we're one day away from OU-Texas. This week has been a crazy but good one, people instantly becoming Texas Longhorns fans just because they know that I'm from Oklahoma and to get under my skin, they go the other way. Cool, I get it.But understand this. Its a big deal. Truth be told, Texas scares the crap out of me. They have 5-star talent across the board, and Mack Brown is a gre
OK Born/Lone Star Bred...I’ll hate UT til the Day I’m Dead 2008-10-09 12:34:00 Two days…two days until the LIVEST rivalry in college football continues. For some people, they base their entire season around this game. Over the years, we have seen blowouts, shootouts, defensive struggles, and much more. We’ve seen people shine (Derrick Strait, Adrian “All Day” Peterson, Andre Woolfolk, and The Legendary De’Mond Parker). Texas has had some killers over the years as w
Roy "Superman Dat Hoe" Williams 2008-10-08 07:38:07 Let me set the scene...Oklahoma 7, Texas 3.Texas had 97 yards to go for the winning score after current Chicago Bears DB Nathan Vasher inexplicably fair catched the ball at the 3 yard line. Chris Simms was having a tough day, he threw 2 interceptions up to this point, but had grown confidence in making plays here and there. With just under 2 minutes remaining, this is what legends are made of. How Read more:Superman

Is Jason Campbell the Next Doug Williams? 2008-10-06 11:37:43 Okay, lets avoid the obvious comparison of JasonCampbell
being a black QB for the Redskins and wearing #17.Dude is cool under pressure, utterly ridiculous. The way he's played in his last two games has been remarkable for the 3rd year QB out of Auburn. Campbell led the Redskins offense with a savvy gameplan from rookie head coach Jim Zorn to rattle off 23 unanswered points as they defeated the Ph Read more:Williams
Ed Goes Dumb on the Tampa Bay Rays 2008-10-03 09:56:14 Ed, who will win the 2008 World Series?Tampa
Bay Rays. Why? Well, I can't talk myself into picking anyone else. Boston just looks and feels different without Manny. The White Sox's bullpen is anemic, and they cannot manufacture a run to save their life. The Angels were my other choice, but if Lackey's not pitching like an ace, does anyone else strike any fear into a hitter? Okay, what about the Na
The NFL Season = 25% Complete 2008-10-02 08:00:00 Well, ¼ of the NFL season has come to a close. There have been some of the usual suspects doing their thing, as well as the fall from grace of others. In my brief recap, I’ll highlight certain ones, and it’ll be done in the way we do things at Ed The Sports Fan: raw, to the point, funny, controversial, but always right….well, according to us.The biggest surprise (to me anyways) is the Buffa Read more:Season
Leave T.O. Alone, But T.O. STFU... 2008-10-01 10:39:40 For the past 3-4 days, all I've heard is the pundits of sport pound and pound about T.O. complaining that he didn't get enough opportunities to help his team win. People are pointing to this issue that this is going to be the demise of America's Team. This is going to create a rift between Romo and Owens. Jerry Jones needs to reconsider his options and trade Owens...CALM THE HELL DOWN!!!!!Let me b Read more:Leave

Watch, brought to you by madeupmonkeysh!t.com, we’re about a month into the season, or 1/3 of the way through, and I have a strong suspicion that this list will look totally different in 2 1/2 months. Regardless, here’s how our ballot looks today:1. Chase Daniel, Missouri - Through four games, his numbers have been unreal(75 percent, 1,412 yards, 12 TDs and one int). If Mizzou's de

traveled west two weeks ago and got dismembered by the Trojans, do you know what the biggest USC story being force-fed to the public has been? How USC could finish undefeated and not play for the National title because the Pac-10 is rotten enough to make the computers hold their nose. Which is part of the beauty of college football.

Its a co-ed league, and this is our first time playing.

Felix Jones - Scariest Man in the NFL 2008-09-23 12:42:31 Now, everyone from Mr. Swagger, to Soul On Ice, to every one of my friends in Oklahoma, Craig and 'em, EVERYBOY knows that I have a sincere dislike and hatred, for the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, I really don't like them. Why? I think because everyone I know loves Dallas. Get off they jock, Ed The Sports Fan thinks. However, I'm not a hater. There's a difference. I recognize the fact that Dallas is ve Read more:Felix

Is This Not Why You Are Here? Week 2 in the NFL 2008-09-17 09:38:08 **This article is provided by featured writer Kenny Masenda**Well, as week two comes to a close, we’ve been treated to some good matchups, great individual efforts, controversial calls, the re-emergence of dominant players, and even the fall from grace of others. In my recap, all will be covered, some more than others.Arguably, the two best games this season have been Chargers-Broncos, and Eagle

Collision at the Coliseum - USC v. Ohio State 2008-09-12 09:38:33 USC vs. OhioState
...oh boy.This game has been talked about since LAST YEAR. National title implications are at stake and the 2 teams are coming off totally different types of momentum from their last game.USC destroyed Virginia, who was a bowl team last year, 52-7 two weeks ago. Seven different Trojans scored TDs. Ohio State
squeaked (should've lost) by Ohio University 26-14. Frankly, Ohio State
The Weekend...On Ice 2008-11-07 12:08:49 **This article is provided by featured writer Kenny Masenda**It’s been four days since 'The Trade' was made, and I’m still trying to make sense of it all. Granted, the coverage of Brother President has dominated the airwaves (and RIGHTFULLY SO), so just in case you didn’t know, Chauncey Billups was traded from Detroit, along with Antonio McDyess along with a third player, for Allen Iverson.

Look at all of the things that are factual about the man as we speak:He leads the NFL with 11.5 sacks thru 8 games this season. Check.He has taken over the leadership role for Miami that was once filled by Pro-Bowler

It’ll be debated, but we think Texas Tech let Texas score with 1:30 left just to get the ball back with plenty of time for Harrell to operate. In addition to the all-night party in Lubbock, we’re sure Gainesville will be rockin’. Your next game of the century: Alabama at LSU in Baton Rouge next week.
