Matt Cassel injures leg! (sound familiar?)

Matt Cassel signed a contract guaranteeing $28 million dollars this off season. Now it looks like he'll be riding the pine the rest of the season (and perhaps his career).

On the first play of the game today Matt Cassel dropped back and was smoked by Brandon Mebane of the Seattle Seahawks.



THE FIRST PLAY ? Wow, looks like things are going to be much worse for the Chiefs than I thought. Last week he was getting shit on by Chiefs fans for not leading his team past mid field, now Matt Cassel can't even get a fricken pass off without getting lit up. Things were much better for the life long back up, when he was throwing TD passes to Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Now that he's rockin the Red and white he can't get through the first 3 plays of a preseason game without getting his ass kicked.

If I'm Matt Cassel I'm sitting on the bench the rest of the year and counting dead presidents until someone FORCES me off. $28 mill GUARANTEED!

I'm reading reports now from ESPN's Chris Mortensen that say Cassels leg injury isn't serious, according to reports from the Chiefs and Cassel. This is the least of Cassel's problems, healthy or not, with the troubles the Chiefs o-line is having it'd take about $28 million gauranteed for me to line up behind those schmucks. Mike Vick might have been a better fit for these guys, Good luck Cassel.

There is no way... Cassel lives up to his contract this year, or any year in the near future.

Death, Taxes and Tom Brady

There are only a few certainties in life: they are as follows.. death, taxes and Tom Brady. Tom Brady has been listed as probable on the Patriots injury report just about every game prior to 2008, but I have no doubts that Tom Brady will be starting and on his way to another strong playoff run.

I was at the bar the other night (this is rare I promise!). My buddies and I are trying to predict Tom Brady's touchdown passes and how many will be split up between the Patriots two leading receivers Moss and Welker.

In my opinion Tom Brady will probably throw between 40-43 TD passes this year. Of them I'd say about 17 TDs for Randy Moss and 6 to Wes Welker.

The argument from everyone else is Tom Brady's health, the offensive co-ordinator, Fred Taylor etc. I'm thinking Fred will get plenty of Carries but.. Tom Brady is going to be putting the team on his "shoulder" and taking the pressure off the running game ( i know this is the opposite of what most teams want but.. most teams don't have Tom Brady).



I'm curious to find out what everyone thinks. How many touchdowns will Tom Brady throw this year? Will he appear as probable or questionable on the Injury Report?

One thing is for certain TOM BRADY will be TOM BRADY. He's been hit hard a thousand times, he wasn't fragile before his injury and he's not fragile now. Don't buy into the ESPN hype on the "sore shoulder".

GOT YOU GUYS! Yesterday was opposite day

Yesterday, I take the misses and two friends out to dinner at Longhorns. As we're walking in I decide to be a gentleman and hold the door for our group, another trailing (rival) group is walking nearby. Instead of slamming the door and taunting "NICE GUYS FINISH LAST" I decide it'd be nice to hold the door.. Just for tonight. So the four trailing ladies say thank you and walk in but they're still behind my group who is standing at the hostess "podium". This is where it gets rough. The hostess makes the worst call I've seen in a long time. Worse than the Tuck Rule.. worst than Jeters 1996 ALCS "homer". She says and I QUOTE "Alright ladies since you guys were here first, right this way". I look at my girlfriend and the group and I say "are you fucking serious?" and the misses says .. "Relax honey, today must be opposite day.."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth I was panick stricken! "MY PICKS!" I cried as we were being seated. "My PICKS!", Surely my followers must know that today is opposite day? Pheewwww I'm always the last to know. Soooo.. if anyone here didn't already know... yesterday was opposite day. So I guess the joke is on you.

Yup, by now you guys have figured it out.. you probably already knew about yesterday but, the trick never gets old. Of COURSE I knew that Halladay would pitch like John Smoltz. Of COURSE I knew that the Pirates would win three games in a row like they HAVEN'T all season! Of COURSEEEE I knew that the M's would beat Verlander.. WHO DIDN'T know that!

Crazy shit happens on opposite day. Next time i'll make an announcement at the top of my post maybe. Something like "REMEMEBER TODAY IS OPPOSITE DAY". Except if I'm going to do that ... you guys should post something in my comments on JUNE 26th saying "TODAY IS YOUR ANNIVERSARY!" or on July 15th saying "TODAY IS YOUR WIFE'S BIRTHDAY!"

Sooo... I'm 6-0.

In all seriousness... There's NO FUCKING WAY I make a wrong pick today.

Papelbon HATES Boston

It’s no secret I’m a huge Red Sox fan, but that doesn’t stop me from being their biggest critic. Night after night Papelbon takes the mound I start getting nervous. WHY?? The last few years Papelbon has been literally UNHITTABLE. Batters would go to the plate and leave their bats in the dugout, opposing fans would leave the park. When it was time for Papelbon it was LIGHTS OUT! Now it’s like last night.. walk this guy, give up a hit here.. a run scoring single here a double there.. it’s painful to watch him work. I’m calling you out Papelbon! I just wish you were reading.

I’ve been meaning to write this article for a while, but he never pissed me off as much as he did last night. Now we’re in the middle of a penant race and this guy is DOGGING it. There’s no two ways about it, He gets himself into these situations very “dice-k” like and then tries to amuse himself by getting out of them. It’s like a houdini trick (we all know how that ended).

So Papelbon has converted on all his save attempts except 3, which most closers would die for, so it’s not like he doesn’t have his stuff. I’m telling you Papelbon is messing with the fans and the opposing team for fun, he’s certainly a strange character, and I refuse to believe he’s lost his control.

I don’t really have too much evidence to back this up… but keep this in mind next time you’re watching Papelblown on the mound, He doesn’t have the same focus or intensity about him.

After hearing some of his comments:
“Oh, of course. I mean, I think if we can’t come to an agreement on terms here in a Red Sox uniform, I mean I think that’s pretty much the writing on the wall.” and…
”Not only the Bronx, but anywhere. I think anywhere is a possibility. You always have to keep that in the back of your mind because you can’t just be one-sided and think that, “Oh, I’m going to be in a Red Sox uniform my entire career” because nowadays that is very, very rare and hopefully we can because there’s no question I would love to stay in a Boston Red Sox uniform but I have to do what’s best for me and play in an atmosphere where I’m wanted.”

Well does he feel like he’s not wanted? What did we do wrong here? I feel like Papelbon is breaking up with Red Sox Nation… and maybe he’s pitching like shit to lessen the pain.

By the way.. There's nooo wayy Papelbon leaves the Red Sox for the Yankees.

Is anybody keeping score?

Brett issss baaaaaaccck… Brett in purple? hahahaha, I want to see the first guy wearing the Favre jersey… pretty embarrassing.

Anyways…

I’m not sure if anyone is really reading this nor do I really care. I’m doing this for personal satisfaction . Anyways I made three “BOLD” predictions. I said there is NO WAY that the Yankees lose, they didn’t. NO WAY the Giants lose, they didn’t. NO WAY that the Rays lose, and .. they didn’t. That makes me 3-0. My winning percentage is 100% thats like 3 out of 3.

Todays picks will come a little later in the day around 12 o clock.

But just for ha-ha’s lets say you bet 10 dollars on my picks last night at bodog.com, (not promoting this is just for fun! so don’t really do it!!!) You would have $59.63, in your account.

And they said I didn’t know anyyyything about sports. Well they were wrong.

By the way... There is NOOO way the Cardinals do no sign John Smoltz

When is it time for the NFL to say "NO" to Brett Favre

What happened to saying you’re retired and STAYING retired. You don’t just say “yeah i’m retiring.. ” you RETIRE and you stay retired. I’m not exactly sure where Brett Favre went wrong here. He treats being retired like its a game. “Nah i can’t play ball today guys.. i’m retired”.

If you ask me, I think it’s about time for the NFL to step in. Kind of like my mom use to when we’d be standing in the door way. “Either you’re in the house or you’re out”. Roger and staff should say to Mr. Fav-re ARE YOU IN or are you out? He says “out” you say.. “Wonderful now GET THE HELL OUT”.

Put a restraining order on this guy, do something he’s driving me nuts.. and .. I LIKE THE GUY!

Well.. as always…

There is NO way Brett Favre leads the Vikings to the playoffs. Put your money on it.

Boston Ranks #8 among most hated sports cities

Boston Ranks #8 Among most hated sports fans
Boston is by far one of the worst areas for sports fans.
I’d say :
1. New York
2. Boston
3. L.A.

There is NOOOOO way that the fans of the Boston Red Sox should drop that low. After all, all we do is win shit.. they probably didn’t want to put us at number one cause they didn’t wanna hear us brag about it… thoughts?

There is no way Boston is the 8th worst city for sports fan.

There is no fucking way...

Alright, so here's the deal. In the following months I will be doing this blog during my lunch break. I've been doing this thing where I look at the days MLB games and I can decide which ones are absolute LOCKS. Some days are much easier than others but to me it makes no sense why people can't make a million bucks off of these sports betting sites. Sometimes I can be correct on like 30 picks in a row. So instead of talking how about I just tell you how it's gonna be.
I will give you three picks (if there are three locks if not.. i'll give you two or one..etc.) but these picks will be guaranteed (not really guaranteed but they are pretty much locks...please don't take my word for granted use this site as an AID and don't use my picks for the wrong things) Also these are just my best guesses so you can argue with me about them but I can't honestly be correct 100% of the time. So if you decide that you are going to play my picks be prepared to lose!

Alright also when I am not doing the "There's no fucking way", I'm a huge Boston Red Sox fan so i'll probably be sharing some insights or some thoughts on the Red Sox. Since we're in the middle of the penant race and we're tanking it... it might not be the most positive Sox talk you've ever heard... but have faith my friend the BoSox will prevail.
