Let's Start it Up

The original inspiration for this blog was my cousin, a man who himself, during college, wrote a blog about sports. However, unlike the analytical master I have proven to be during my tenure as a blogger, he relied, perhaps to better results, on his wit and vulgarity. This lead, unfortunately, to his inability to continue his blogging career, once he got a stable job, and had a necessity for a clean image. When I began my writing, I had a similar dilemma, as I hoped my blog would look good on college applications, and thus was unable to use much vulgar language. Well now that that whole process is over, I'd like to welcome you all back, and get some things of my chest:

Fuck those motherfucking Detroit Tigers, you goddamn abusers of the MLB system. A team should get like a 1-0 lead in a series for having a regular season record 10 games better than the other team. Because my Oakland A's were more than fucking deserving of an ALCS birth this year. So Justin Verlander can suck it, I'm glad that fat mother fucker Pablo Sandoval wiped the floor with his ass.

I think that the NFL needs a whole article to talk about the clusterfuck that is the AFC, and the problem of Tim Tebow, and all the other stuff that has happened in the past calendar year, so I'll save that for later. But I would like to talk about college football for a second. Alabama, the current number 1 in the country, is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of any other team. At this point I think they could probably even beat the Chiefs. Further, there needs to be a reexamination of the ranking process, but that too I will talk about in another post.

Going back a little farther, I'd like to say that for everyone who made jokes about LeBron not having a ring, or selling out for Miami, you can shut your fucking mouth. Never before has a man been this dominant in his sport in one year (NBA Championship, MVP Award, Olympic gold medal), yes including Michael. All of that talk needs to stop now, and we all need to be ready for him to be dominant for the foreseeable future, even with the addition of Nash and Howard in LA.

That's it for now, but be ready, because this is a new era of blogging, mother fuckers.

  1. Swearing is good. Real good. I also feel good about the Tide's chances against the Chiefs.

Brett Favre's Illustrious Career and 'The Viking Situation'

Seeing as this is my first post, I would like to ask for a pass in advance for any typos, or errors in my facts in any of my posts. As his career comes to an end, (hopefully) I would like to take this time to examine Brett Favre 's career and my self-entitled 'Viking Situation' , and relate it to Any Given Sunday , which seemingly hasn't been done (other than this and this , both of which fail to fully relate 'The Viking Situation'), which I believe is odd. As well, as a disclaimer, I realize that the movie does not model the current situation, given the time difference, and merely wish to offer an odd amount of similarities. Brett Favre Dennis Quaid First, and most prevalently, credit must be given where credit is due. Brett Favre is arguably one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and seemingly the toughest. His record for yards (71,838) and touchdowns (508) are hard to argue with, although he also holds the records for most times sacked and most...

Don't Worry, Nothing's Changed

So, despite the lockout and many other off-season ordeals, the largest change in the NFL seems to be that crazy kick return rule. The average dim-witted NFL analysts was shocked to learn that despite the ball being placed 5 yards up from last years 35-yard line, there were 8 kick return touchdowns in week 1. Of course, in any week, 8 kick return touchdowns is significant, but those extra five yards, I chose to argue, make no difference. So let's start by looking at a couple of examples: So I know these are both Percy Harvin , who is an amazing kick returner, but let's look at one other similarity between these two plays: Harvin beats the last defender with his incredible speed with about 30 yards to go before the end zone. Thus, would it have really mattered if the ball was 10, 20, even 30 yards closer to the offense. I say no. I for one, understand the idea of a shorter kickoff. The many blindside hits and concussions caused by kickoffs are dangerous to the sport, and ...

Equilibrium

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching an NFL pregame show, and in between the usual banter about RG III, Tim Tebow, and the Eagles (just three things in the NFL people need to shut up about), there was a comment that caught my attention. One of the announcers noted that the AFC had only two teams with a record above .500, the Ravens and Texans, who coincidentally would play later that day. So at first glance, as he noted, it appears the 'balance of power' has shifted to the NFC, in part due to NFC teams playing in larger markets (which is also a ridiculous statement).  Anyway, I'd like to fast forward two weeks and shit on this dude. As the standings sit today, both conferences have 7 teams with records above .500. So, clearly, fuck him. However, this announcer has two good excuses at this point. First, he made his comments during week 7, meaning most teams had played a total of 6 games, which despite being enough of a sample to judge the balance of power in the leag...
