Drew Brees' Madden 11 Cover Debuts in Times Square

Sorry for the low-quality photo, but the fans have spoken: Drew Brees is the Madden 11 Cover athlete. I'm not a Saints fan by any stretch of the imagination but Brees is much-deserving of the cover. But damn son....Madden Curse much???
I hope Breezus can avoid that Madden Curse.
I guess we'll see September 9^th.

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.

Being Computerless Sucks... [Weekend Wrap-Up]

Due to driving from Baton Rouge to Atlanta and being without a computer for the ride, I missed posting on the biggest sports and music day of 2010. The Jealous. Speaking on the Super Bowl: asamp was right wrong. I'm not even upset because the Colts aren't my team, I'm just more surprised. Congrats to the Saints and their fans though. Drew Brees played his ass off and the defense held Peyton to a lot less than I expected. Good shit. And not only that, but this year's Super Bowl was the most watched television program....EVER. Yes, EVER. More people watched the Saints beat the Colts than the finale of For the Love of Ray-J. I know, hard to believe. But something that's not hard to believe is that Drew Brees is about to get PAID. Respect.

On the music tip: Jets. Smokee Robinson finally dropped. Oh, and it's dope as hell. Spitta did not disappoint with this one. Early favorites are Lemon Kush over Gucci's Lemonade and Vision over Kanye's Last Call. Shouts to @jus_huong for the DL link.

Smokee is instant classic shit. Just another thing that's not hard to believe.
Jets, nigga.

Super Bowl '10 Prediction

So yea, I'm still in Baton Rouge but I'll be damned if I don't make it back to Atlanta by kickoff. It's no real surprise but I'm going with Indy on this one. Peyton's been here before and even though he's only won one ship before this year, a win here could claim him the spot as the best quarterback of all-time. Dwight Freeney's probably not as hurt as we all think and I'm not confident in New Orleans' ability to stop the Indianapolis offense. Not to mention, my Bears are nowhere near the Super Bowl so I guess Indy's the best choice. Plus...they have a black head coach. Sorry Reggie, sorry Kim, sorry...Breesus??

Final Score: New Orleans - 28 // Indianapolis - 42

Peyton bout to be Miami chillin, Super Bowl chillin.

Championship Game Predictions [Better Late Than Never]

Really quick: I know the Jets are already up 7-6 over the Colts but I'm still going Colts/Vikings in the SuperBowl. Ariiiiite.

[Note: This picture has nothing to do with the NFL Playoffs, it's just funny as hell.]
