You, Sir, Just Might be the Worst Football Player Ever

I have NO idea what this kid was thinking. I understand that a play can go the wrong way but THIS???!!

Worst ever? Yes...until you see this one:
Both are worth the facepalm of the century. C'mon sons.

It gets no worse.

If We Could Go Back...

Oftentimes I have random mind-ramblings. It might be about something I read, something I saw on tv or something I had a conversation about. A lot of times I think back about these events and I say "Damn, if I could go back, ______." These random mind trips have gone undocumented until now.

Well, I was listening to Chillin by Wale and I got to the line "You niggas mad that you not me/I remain a Giant and you Jeremy Shockey..." You know, this part. I always liked the line, but it got me to thinking. Jeremy Shockey is a pretty wild dude. Great player, but he's now a New Orleans Saint. Then I remembered that the craziest of all crazy New Orleans Saints was KYLE TURLEY. If we could go back to this, I'm sure we'd detect very large amounts of ACID in his bloodstream:

I know that was pretty random and I'm not even mad at Kyle Turley. I just hope that my friends would do the same for me.

Acid or no acid.

[Note: They would.]

Westbrook Released Too?!

A day after LaDainian Tomlinson was released from the Chargers, veteran Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been cut by his longtime team. I'm not sure what his future is going to look like but I'm sure he'll find another team. It's kind of crazy that two of the league's best running backs over the last decade are both looking for new teams. Best luck to Brian Westbrook.

[Note: Bears front office...Do something. I'm SAYIN.]

What's Next for LT??

When news broke yesterday that the San Diego Chargers had released LaDainian Tomlinson, I wasn't really surprised...mainly because he said it would happen weeks ago. The reasons he was traded are obvious, he was owed a $2 million roster bonus and $5 million in total salary next year after career lows in both total yards [730] and yards per carry [3.3]. Yikes. The only real question left to be answered is "Where will LT go next??" So where could he go:

• New England Patriots

Even though the rich would pretty much be getting richer, LT would make sense as a 10-15 down back in an offense that already is full of weapons. He could team up well with Brady and Moss and Belichick has been good at working with veterans.

• Chicago Bears

This one hasn't really been reported [at all] but I would love to see it happen. Tomlinson could draw the attention needed to take pressure off of Jay Cutler. In addition to Mike Martz as the OC, LT could be a great teacher for Matt Forte, Kahlil Bell and Adrian Peterson, all promising backs.

• Philadelphia Eagles

I can really see this move happening. Even though the Eagles won't give him the entire $5 mil he's expecting, they would be able to make a pretty good offer to LT. Add him to the young talent at running back in McCoy and experience in veteran Brian Westbrook, and you could have a pretty deep backfield. Only problem is Tomlinson + Westbrook = this.
[Update: Brian Westbrook has also been released. Yikes.]

• New Orleans Saints

My final possible destination for LT is the New Orleans Saints. He played earlier in his career with current Saints quarterback Drew Brees and it would land him with a definite championship contender. Plus, with the depth that New Orleans has at the position Tomlinson wouldn't be forced to carry the most of the load at running back.

What ever happens for LT, he is sure to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and definitely remembered as one of the best running backs in league history. Not only that, but he has a been a hard-working class act since he came in the league. Gotta wish LT the best.

[Note: Bears front office....don't LOAF.]

LSU Had a Bye-Week...

...so I took one too.

College Football was kind of boring and predictable this weekend anyway. I ended up watching Varsity Blues instead. #kanyeshrug.

I'll be back with the football news next weekend but in the meantime.....GO BEARS.
Bears @ Falcons, Georgia Dome 8 pm. Ariiiiite.

Giants Win an Ugly One in Dallas...

It was actually a pretty exciting game. The only real ugly part of the game was the screen shot of Eli that I got afterwards. [Wow.] The prettiest thing was the DAM stadium. Holy shit. A record-setting 105,000+ people attended the regular-season home opener at the brand new Cowboys Stadium and they really got a show. Romo's lows and Eli's highs were the story of the game. Romo just looked uncomfortable the whole game. Even with 251 yards on the ground, Dallas had three picks and a fumble that resulted in 24 points for the G-Men and proved to be the deciding factor. The Player of the Game in my opinion had to be Mario Manningham who finished with 10 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown. [Plaxico who??] Who saw that shit coming?? Chad Henne maybe??? Anyway, great game from both sides but the Giants proved that they could win the tough one on the road. Can't say I expected anything else. Here's how it ended:
Other NFL News:

• The Bears scored late to defeat the defending Champion Steelers in their home opener. Ariiite.
• The Bengals surprised the Slackers in Green Bay, 31-24
• Mark "Matt Ryan Jr." Sanchez was able to defend the home field against the Patriots. Yowzers.
• The Saints jealous'd/embarrassed the Eagles in Philly, 48-22
• The Redskins managed to beat the lowly Rams without scoring a touchdown, and
• The Panthers fell to the Falcons after a late near-TD fell incomplete.

[Note: I started off watching the Dallas/New York game at the bar but watched the second half on my computer with NFL.com's new HD player. And the shit is DOPE. The video is clear as hell and it has four dope views. Peep the screenshot. Next time you can't get the game, check it out on your computer. Aughh.]

Colts/Dolphins for MNF tonight...Ariiite.

Steve Nash is Mad Sneaky...But For a Good Cause

While getting my daily fix of internet surfing, I came across this video of Steve Nash fooling famous soccer [football] players such as Joe Cole, Gennaro Gattuso, Ambrosini, Henry, Kaka and Del Piero into getting nutmegged. The video is pretty dope but it's actually promoting a really good cause called Football For Good. It's a non-profit organization started by the Steve Nash Foundation and Athletes for Africa to help spread the game of soccer around Africa while advocating human rights and child protection. Definitely two things that Africa needs. Glad Nash and these other athletes are using their time and energy in positive ways.

I mean, it's not like the Suns are still in the playoffs.
