For Some Reason Aaron Rodgers Addresses Gay Rumors

Aaron Rodgers says "I'm not gay.  I really, really like women."  Rodgers addressed the rumors, probably started by disgruntled Bears fans, on his weekly radio show.





Johnny Manziel Wants to Know "What's Going On?"

Duke jumped all over Texas A&M early and lead 38-17 at the half, leaving Johnny Manziel asking, "What's Going On?"



Manziel isn't going to take it laying down and continues to battle pulling off one of the most incredible plays of 2013 on the years last day.  Instant Top 10.





Carrie Underwood Cheering on Her Husband's Hockey Fight

Carrie Underwood is married to a hockey player.  That is a fact, in case you didn't know.  His name is Mike Fisher and he plays for the Nashville Predators.  Last night while she was in attendance her husband got into a little fight and the beautiful country music star was there to cheer her man on.





Boomer Esiason Blasts NFL Refs for Blowing Chiefs/Chargers Game

Former NFL quarterback and now color commentator, Boomer Esiason, blasts the referees of this weekends Chiefs vs Chargers game.  He thinks there were two blown calls that should have gone the Chiefs way and he believes would have resulted in a Chiefs victory, thus allowing the Steelers not the Chargers to make the playoffs.





Tony Parker in Trouble for Nazi Salute Pic

Spurs guard Tony Parker is in a little bit of hot water for a Nazi salute picture that made it's way on to Al Gore's internet via twitter.  He is posing in the pic with a French comedian who is known for his anti-Semitic views.

Parker of course has released a statement and claimed complete ignorance to the fact that the salute is a Nazi salute, via Ball Don't Lie:
"While this gesture has been part of French culture for many years, it was not until recently that I learned of the very negative concerns associated with it. When l was photographed making that gesture three years ago, I thought it was part of a comedy act and did not know that it could be in any way offensive or harmful. Since I have been made aware of the seriousness of this gesture, I will certainly never repeat the gesture and sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding or harm relating to my actions. Hopefully this incident will serve to educate others that we need to be more aware that things that may seem innocuous can actually have a history of hate and hurt."




Wes Welker Finally Cleared to Play

Wes Welker who has been sidelined since suffered two concussions within a three week span has finally been cleared to play.  The Broncos wide receiver will use their first round playoff bye to prepare for his return and makes the Broncos that much more dangerous, as they push for a Super Bowl.





Tim Tebow's Quest to be an NFL Quarterback has Landed Him a Job at ESPN

Tim Tebow was hired by ESPN as a SEC analyst.  The college legend and former NFL quarterback remains committed to pursuing his dream of being an NFL quarterback.  For now he'll comment on SEC football and probably bring an extremely large audience with him.

Last Weeks Poll Results: Will the Lakers Make the Playoffs?

Answer: an overwhelming no!

Yes
(16%)
 
No
(83%)




Black Monday Is Here and Coaches Are Being Fired

Mike Shanahan, Leslie Frazier, Greg Schiano, Jim Schwartz are the coaches fired so far on what has been widely known as "Black Monday."  They join Rob Chudzinski (fired Sunday) and Greg Kubiak (fired earlier this month) in the head coaching unemployment line.

There are others that could be joining them but Rex Ryan won't be one of them.  The Jets owner announced that Rex would be returning next season after the Jets win over the Dolphins on Sunday.





Mike Ditka Did What We All Do During Sunday NFL Countdown

That's right Mike Ditka fell asleep during Sunday NFL Countdown, welcome to the club Mike.  It's Sunday morning and all we want is for the NFL games to kickoff so we turn on anything football.

But all of the talking and speculation puts us straight to sleep and we're well rested by the time kick off rolls around and we have to change the channel because bowling or poker or something comes on ESPN.





Playoff Predictions: Wild Card Round

With the NFL playoff picture set the schedule has been released.  So naturally predictions follow.  But first the schedule.

Saturday, January 4th
4:35 PM
Chiefs
Colts

8:10 PM
Saints
Eagles

Sunday, January 5th
1:05 PM
Chargers
Bengals

4:40 PM
49ers
Packers

Wild Card weekend should be just as exciting as week 17.  Now for the predictions: Chiefs, Eagles, Bengals and 49ers all will advance with defense being the deciding factor in all of the games except the Saints/Eagles.  The Saints have been a different team on the road and I think the Eagles can pull it out.




Record Setting Day for Manning and the Broncos

Peyton Manning and the Broncos continued their historic season with Manning grabbing the single season passing yards record and the Broncos taking the most points scored record.  Manning adds the single season passing yards record to his single season touchdown record.  Is there anyone in the AFC that can stop them?  Especially considering they took the number one seed.

Playoff Picture Set in Wild Week 17

The Packers outlasted the Bears in a back and forth battle in Chicago 33-28 to take home the NFC North crown.  The Chargers grabbed the last spot in the AFC beating the Kansas City backups in OT after some help with some other contenders dropping their games.

And finally on Sunday Night Football the Eagles take the NFC East after beating the Cowboys 24-22.  Kyle Orton played well but proved it doesn't matter who is playing QB for the Cowboys with the game on the line they will turn the ball over.

So the playoff picture is set.





Johnny Manziel Should Stick to Football

Johnny Manziel was in attendance last night at the Atlanta Hawks game.  For some reason they had him attempt a layup and what happened next is internet gold.  Let's just say there is a reason he's called "Johnny Football" and not "Johnny Basketball."





The Huge UFC 168 Fight Card Didn't Disappoint

UFC 168 was very entertaining and lived up to it's hype.  The main event ended on a freak injury and probably ended Anderson Silva's career as he broke his leg severely.


People will always question how the fight ended but Chris Weidman controlled the first round and almost finished Silva.  Silva's eyes rolled back and he was dropped and hurt in round 1.

Carl Crawford Drops $1.4 Million on an Engagement Ring

Turns out Evelyn Lozada has a thing for athletes.  Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford just dropped $1.4 million on an engagement ring for Lozada, who is pregnant with the couples first child.  The ex wife of Chad Johnson shared a pic of the giant rock on instagram.

Let's hope for her sake this marriage has a better outcome.





Troy Aikman is the Only One Who Thinks Kyle Orton Will Play Well

Troy Aikman is not only a fan of Kyle Orton but also expects him to play well on Sunday.  Aikman is either getting behind the team he used to quarterback and trying to boost some confidence or those concussions he suffered as a player are affecting him more than we thought.

The Eagles are going to smash the Cowboys and it really has nothing to do with the quarterback position.  Their defense is terrible.  There I said it, I said what everyone else is thinking- except Aikman.





Tony Gonzalez to Play His Final Game on Sunday

Tony Gonzalez will play his final game on Sunday.  There is little doubt that the tight end will end up in the Hall of Fame.  He completed his final practice on Friday preparing for his final game.

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the biggest failures of the past few years laying a big turd this season despite being so close to the Super Bowl last season.





UFC 168 is Tonight

Fight fans are ready to watch some fights with a big night of fighting in the UFC.  UFC 168 starts tonight at 8pm with the prelims on Fox Sports 1 and the main events at 10pm on pay-per-view.

The pay-per-view features a couple of rematches with belts on the line as Chris Weidman defends his title against Anderson Silva and Ronda Rousey taking on Miesha Tate.

The Rousey versus Tate bout led to one of the hottest weigh ins in UFC history.

Peyton Manning Predicts Tom Brady Will Break His New Single Season TD Record

That's right.  Peyton Manning just broke Tom Brady's single season touchdown pass record the other day and Manning predicts Brady will break it next season.





Romo Still Not Ruled Out....Yet

Tony Romo still hasn't been ruled out of Sunday's season finale.  A must win game for the Cowboys.  Jason Garrett won't rule out the quarterback just yet.  Romo has been reportedly receiving around the clock treatment with little improvement up to this point.





Sleeved NBA Jerseys Look Ridiculous

The Christmas NBA uniforms, the players don't like them and on top of that they look ridiculous.  Why would the NBA put the players in these silly uniforms?





Aaron Rodgers Will Start Sunday

Aaron Rodgers is back in the lineup to lead the Packers on Sunday.  A win and they somehow win the division.  The Bears defense needs to come ready to play, as they put Rodgers out earlier this season and he'll likely want some revenge.

Fans Ejected, Arrested and Hurt Following the Final Game in Candlestick

The final game in Candlestick brought out all kinds.  81 fans were ejected, 30 were arrested and at least 1 injury was reported.  Way to go San Francisco fans!





Aaron Hernandez Had Fans Show Up in Court Yesterday

Aaron Hernandez appeared in court yesterday and not only was his family present but he also had several fans wearing his jersey.  The case is certainly going to continue to be interesting.  The fans even spoke with the media who was, of course eager to get a word from them.





Tony Romo Had an MVP Caliber Season?

Tony Romo had an MVP caliber season according to Mike Greenberg who must have forgot what MVP caliber was.  Hey Mike, Peyton Manning had an MVP caliber season- OKAY!  Mr. Greenberg gets paid to talk about sports for a living and still made this comment on twitter.  I would love for someone to attempt to defend this.





Peyton Manning Breaks Tom Brady's Record...Tom Sets One of His Own

Peyton Manning broke Tom Brady's single season touchdown mark with 4 touchdowns on Sunday that moved the Bronco's QB to 51 on the season with one more game to go.  Tom Brady also had a big day and was left hanging again.





Broken Ankles Time: Lance Stephenson

Lance Stephenson crosses over Alan Anderson and more importantly made the shot.  The Pacers went on to smash the Nets in Brooklyn 103-86.  The Pacers continue to play well and now post a 23-5 record and continue night in and night out to prove they are a force in the east.





Tony Romo Won't Get a Chance to Blow It

The Dallas Cowboys final chance to make the playoffs is a win against divisional rival and current divisional leader the Philadelphia Eagles.  Everyone held their breath waiting for Tony Romo to blow the Redskins game he did not but he did injure his back.

According to Adam Schefter the injury will require surgery and his season is over.  So Romo won't be able to blow the week 17 game against the Eagles.  The Cowboys will have to rely on their backup Kyle Orton.



Only one problem with all of this and that is that Jason Garrett is still claiming Romo could play.  Either he's throwing a misdirection the Eagles way or he's not on the same page with the doctors.




49ers Pulled a Little Candlestick Magic on It's Last Game



The Atlanta Falcons came into San Francisco at the end of a miserable season for them.  But they proved they had a little fight left playing the 49ers tough and making them have to come up with another Candlestick miracle to win the game and all but lock down the fifth playoff spot.

Steve Smith Likely Out Week 17...Has to ICE UP SON

Good news for the playoff bound Carolina Panthers, their top receiver Steve Smith only has a sprained PCL.  He's not likely to play week 17 but could be ready for the playoffs.  His recommended treatment is to ICE UP SON.





Eagles Fan's Jay Cutler Sign

The Philadelphia Eagles demolished the playoff hopeful Bears 54-11.  With everyone else of playoff contention in the division losing the Bears still managed to hold on to the top spot.  But the Bears now have to beat the Packers next week to make the playoffs.

Everyone knows Philly fans can be brutal but they can also be creative.  One of the best signs you'll see not only took aim at Jay Cutler but it also managed to throw an insult at Tony Romo.





Last Weeks Poll Results: Who is More Likely To Make The Playoffs?


Arizona Cardinals
 (14%)
Chicago Bears
 (57%)
Dallas Cowboys
 (0%)
Miami Dolphins
 (28%)
San Diego Chargers

New York Jets

None of these teams will make it

Another Overpaid Free Agent in the Year of the Overpaid Free Agent

Rangers sign Shin-Soo Choo for 7 years and $130 million dollars.  In an off season of outrageous free agent deals this fits right in.  Considering what Jacoby Ellsbury, Phil Hughes, Bartolo Colon, Curtis Granderson and of course Robinson Cano just to name a few.





Colorado State Ran the Statue of Liberty Play

Colorado State ran the "statue of liberty" play against Washington State on a 2 point conversion to tie the game 45-45 at the New Mexico Bowl.  The game was won by Colorado State as time expired with a 41 yard field goal 48-45.





Seahawks Fall at Home

The Arizona Cardinals beat the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, their first home loss since December 24th 2011. to keep their playoff hopes alive.  An impressive win for the Cardinals but will it prove to be enough as they still are on the outside looking in.





NFL Playoff Picture Got a Step Closer to Final

Several teams remain in the hunt after winning key games and a few others laid goose eggs and lost any playoff hopes.

The Lions have been eliminated and the Bears failed to seal their fate keeping the Packers who also lost in the hunt.  The Panthers knocked off the Saints taking control of the NFC South and the second seed, for the time being.  The Broncos and Gronkless Patriots had no problem taking the AFC's number 1 and 2 seeds respectively.

Check out the full current playoff picture here.

The Boss Was at a Duke Game

The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, was in attendance last night at the Duke basketball game.  And no, that's his daughter who attends Duke, not a young college chick he's shacking up with.





Houston Texans Cheerleaders Freestyle Friday

It's a fact this is the final Friday before Christmas 2013! And the Houston Texans Cheerleaders remind us of this fact with another awesome Freestyle Friday video that will get us in the holiday mood.

So before you skip out of the office early watch this video to give you the strength to pull off your last minute shopping.





The Trailer for "The Other Woman" is Awesome

Kate Upton steals the trailer for "The Other Woman" and probably the movie as well.  But for Now all we have is the trailer so enjoy.





Kobe Bryant Injured Again

Kobe Bryant is out at least 6 weeks with a fractured knee.  He's only played in 6 games this year and the Lakers have been struggling.  It doesn't look good for the Lakers and their aging superstar.  It reminds me a lot of what Derek Jeter went through last year.

It takes some time to heal the older you get and athletes rely so heavily on a healthy body.  It will be interesting to see if this leads to any further problems with Kobe when he returns.

Kemba Walker Drains Buzzer Beater

Charlotte's Kemba Walker drains a buzzer beater in OT to beat the Toronto Raptors in Toronto.  Charlotte sitting at 12-14 on the year is actually in the East's top 8 right now.





Brandon Browner's Suspension Upheld

Brandon Browner's indefinite (likely a year) suspension has been upheld and he has probably played his last game as a Seahawk.  He pretty much acknowledges that in a tweet he sent thanking the organization.

His next move is likely to sue the NFL.

This is How Steve Spurrier Works Out


There really isn't a whole lot to say about Steve Spurrier's workout session.  He appears to be stretching it out for his old lady.  Get it Steve!




A Rod to Write a Tell All Book

A Rod is close to signing a deal for a tell all book.  He will reportedly spill it all about the MLB investigation against him.  We've seen A Rod take on a more aggressive stance during this entire process and I expect him to come out on top when it's all said and done.





Ummm....This Makes A Lot of Sense

Fox Sports Live's Charissa Thompson got into the holiday spirit and a sexy Mrs. Clause outfit?  She was kind enough to tweet it out for the world, the world needs more of these!





Steeler Fined for Hit on the Punter

Terence Garvin a Pittsburgh Steelers rookie has been fined $25,000 for the huge hit on Bengal punter Kevin Huber.  Huber suffered a broken jaw and vertebrae in his neck on the hit and the league came down pretty heavily on the rookie.  Garvin is pulling in the rookie league minimum which works out to be $24,000 a week.

I understand it's an illegal hit but there was no flag on the play and how about make the fine based on the man's salary.  Where is Ray Lewis on this one?




Aaron Rodgers Thanks Justin Tucker

Aaron Rodgers thanked Justin Tucker on his radio show.  Yeah he has a radio show because it's Wisconsin and there is nothing else going on.  The often injured and currently injured Packers quarterback is not too injured to talk on the radio.  His words sound muffled through that stupid mustache.

Here's what he had to say on the "Tuesdays with Aaron."
"I'd like to thank Justin Tucker off the top here for his performance last night. Unbelievable. That 61-yarder was amazing."
 Not all Packers fans love him however.  Check out this dude actually suggesting they trade Rodgers as he sings Matt Flynn's praises.





Wheelchair Gronk Spreading Holiday Cheer at Children's Hospital

Rob Gronkowski in a wheelchair spread some holiday cheer at a children's hospital with Patriots teammate Stevan Ridley.  Ridley was able to get video of some of it and post it to instagram.  He might not be able to help his team on the field for the rest of this season but he's doing what he can off of it.





You Guys Dez Bryant Walked Off So No One Would See Him Cry

Dez Bryant explained his early exit on Sunday.  He walked off so no one would see him cry.  Is anyone buying that?  He was mad about the loss and disappointed in his team.  I highly doubt he was crying.

First take lets Dez have it.  They both seem to be on the same page when it comes to him.

Gronk Might Be Hurt But He Now Gives Us This

Rob Gronkowski's season might be over but that doesn't mean he still can't entertain.  Here Gronk is riding around a Whole Foods store in a scooter, frightening children.





61 Yard Field Goal Keeps Ravens in Last Wild Card Spot

Justin Tucker kept the Ravens playoff hopes alive with a 61 yard field goal, his 6th field goal of the night.  The Ravens held off the Lions 18-16 and hold onto the 6th and final playoff spot.

Matthew Stafford had a couple of Tony Romo moments late in this game as he threw two costly interceptions.  The Lions didn't blow a 23 point halftime lead but they could have easily won this game had those turnovers turned into points for them.





Monday, December 16, 2013

Tom Brady Had a Rough Game on Sunday

Tom Brady had a rough day on Sunday losing to the Miami Dolphins 24-20.  Brady threw an interception in the end zone on what turned out to be the last play for the Patriots.  He wasn't happy about the loss and didn't hide his feelings after the game.  He only answered two questions and walked out.





Bengals Punter Has Rough Night

The Bengals had a rough night against the Steelers but no one had it rougher than punter Kevin Huber.  Huber had a punt blocked and had his jaw broken on a punt that was returned for a touchdown.

See the huge hit below in super slow mo.





Jason Garrett Throws Romo Under the Bus

(Click to Watch)

Jason Garrett threw Tony Romo under the bus following the Cowboys loss to Green Bay on Sunday.  The Cowboys blew a 23 point halftime lead.  Romo did throw two costly interceptions in the last three minutes of the game but he shouldn't have even been in that situation.

They lead the game 26-3 at halftime.  Why isn't the finger being pointed at the lousy Dallas defense?  Why does Romo take the blame?   It's a 23 point lead!  Is Romo now responsible for playing defense?  Must he go make tackles now?

Another Valid Point About White Boys Playing Basketball

The internet makes yet another valid point about white boys and basketball.  How many of these types of videos need to be made before white kids get the picture?

Feel free to laugh we all are.





RGIII Had a Blast on the Bench

The inactive RGIII had a blast today watching the Redskins get beat again!  He seems to really be benefiting from the time off.  At least he'll have an injury free last few weeks and a full off-season.





Miami Blows Field Goal Attempt But Wins the Game

The Miami Dolphins blew this field goal attempt but hold off the Patriots to keep their playoff hopes alive and are currently in the 6th spot.  The Dolphins figured out a way even after blowing this kick to hold it together and take down the Gronkless Patriots.





Jay Cutler Gets the Win and a Kiss from Brandon Marshall

(Click to see Video)

Jay Cutler returns and after a shaky start turned it up to lead the Bears to a critical win over the Browns.  After the game his favorite target Brandon Marshall couldn't control himself and gave Cutler a big smooch on the cheek.

Not sure if Cutler was ready for it but he took it in stride and completed the interview without further incident.




DeSean Jackson Has a Meltdown on the Sidelines

DeSean Jackson is unhappy on the sidelines during the loss against the Vikings.  Can't blame DeSean everyone and they Grandmama expected Philadelphia to take care of the Vikings.  It's unclear who he's yelling at but you gotta figure he's frustrated with the coaching staff.





Mack Brown Resigns and Jameis Winston wins Heisman



After a week of meetings and denials it's now official Mack Brown will resign after Texas plays their bowl game.  The question now is was there an effort to delay the announcement so that Nick Saban would lose interest in the job?  It appears so.




Saturday, December 14, 2013

Nick Saban Signs Extension



Nick Saban signs a multi-year extension with Alabama. Worth $7-7.5 million per year, this likely means he's not going after the Texas job.  With Texas and Mack Brown continuing to go through their own saga, Saban looks to have bowed out of the equation.

Texas may have been hoping Saban was going to leave Alabama and that's why they started the talks with Mack Brown about his future.  So does Texas keep him now?

Georges St. Pierre Steps Away From UFC

Georges St. Pierre stopped short of retiring but did state today that he will be stepping away from the UFC and vacates his title.  He claims to need the break for his own "mental stability."  The vacancy leaves the title free and sets up a fight to crown a new champ.





Jameis Winston Not in the Clear Yet

Jameis Winston may not be out of the woods yet.  The accuser's attorney, in the sexual assault investigation against Winston, released a statement today.  She is demanding an independent investigation into this case and the police department.





Yankees Introduce Jacoby Ellsbury

The formal introduction of Jacoby Ellsbury as the Yankees new center fielder occurred today.  While I was able to watch without vomiting, in part because of Mrs. Ellsbury a small part of me did in fact die.  As a fan of the Yankees Ellsbury's signing is a hard pill to swallow.

I know there have been others- Babe Ruth, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and Johnny Damon to name a few.  I didn't hate them as much as I hate Ellsbury.  But I guess he'll fit in nicely with my hatred of Girardi.





Houston Texans Cheerleaders are Still the Best Thing About the Texans

With a few weeks left in a dismal season (2-11) for the Houston Texans the Cheerleaders continue to impress us with their Freestyle Friday videos!  Happy Freestyle Friday the 13th from the Texans Cheerleaders, enjoy!





Chargers Hand Broncos First Home Loss of the Season

The Chargers with their playoff hopes on the line, marched into Denver and handed the Broncos their first home loss of the season winning 27-20. No the cold weather wasn't o blame, sure it was cold. But the Chargers did it with running back Ryan Matthews and ball control. They kept Peyton Manning off of the field. Wes Welker missing the game didn't help but what really did them in was Manning and the offense standing on the sidelines.

A New Look at the WVU Twerk Girl

Someone (not sure if he wanted me to use his name or not- I will if he wants me to) sent me a new look at the now viral WVU twerk girl.  This shot is from the front and gets a good look at our twerk star.  Enjoy her moves and as I already stated and I'll post them.

Twerking in the Stands Hits the College Ranks

Twerking for money in the stands at a professional sporting event is nothing new.  At a college game, well now that's a different twist isn't it.  This twerker got down at a West Virginia basketball game the other day and caused a pretty big scene in the nose bleeds.  So much so she was almost thrown out.

Thanks the good lord everyone carries phones and the event has quickly spread on Al Gore's internets.

Here is the chick getting down!

Here are the guys throwing money at her.


And here is me encouraging this further.  Please send me video of yourself or others twerking at sporting events!  Lets help it spread, like the wave or something-




Mariners Announce Cano, Yankees Fans Unhappy and Cano Claims it Wasn't About the Money

The Mariners announced their new second basemen Robinson Cano and shared a picture of the new bearded Mariner.
Notice the lack of a smile on his face, get used to that Robinson.  Also of note is the number change, no way would Seattle let him wear Ken Griffey Jr.'s 24.  
On the day of the official announcement Cano took to twitter to thank the Yankees fans who supported him, but not all are happy with him after his decision to leave.  One tweeted:
@RobinsonCano no one likes you ! You aren’t welcome in this city go kill yourself — Anthony Scotti (@anthony_scotti) December 12, 2013
As you can clearly see, no love lost.  There is also a glaring omission from Cano's tweet.  He thanks NY and the fans but not the Yankees.  I soon found out why when I caught the snippet of his interview with Pedro Gomez that I posted below.

It turns out Cano felt disrespected by the Yankees.  Yeah he was disrespected with a 7 year $175 million dollar contract offer.  An offer that would have grossly overpaid him and is actually annually larger than the one he signed.  But it lacked his 10 year request so that apparently equals disrespect.

video

It may be true that it is 3 years longer but it is also true that the contract is $65 million dollars larger.  He can tell himself whatever he'd like, the fact remains he is greedy and he signed for more money.  He claims you can't get a deal at 37 or 38 and Bartolo Colon just signed a two year $20 million dollar deal at 41.  If you produce you can get a contract!




Beats by Dre Commercial Featuring Colin Kaepernick

Beats by Dre posted an extended commercial featuring Colin Kaepernick in what appears to be a road trip in Seattle.  Guess what?  Seahawks fans aren't happy.

NBA TV Asks Fans of the Week, "When's the Wedding"

The NBA TV crew had the fans of the week on when one of them, Greg Anthony I think, asks "when's the wedding?"  The guy responds with, "oh shhittt."  To which Chris Webber can't control himself and seems to go into some sore of laughing seizure.





Doc Rivers Returns to Boston

Doc Rivers made his return to Boston last night for the first time since leaving for Los Angeles.  Rivers received a standing ovation upon his return and his Clippers beat his old team to top off the night.

Brian Urlacher Says McCown Should Start

Former Bears' linebacker Brian Urlacher is causing a little buzz after saying Josh McCown should start over a healthy Jay Cutler.  The Bears have already stated that Jay Cutler will start when healthy even though McCown has played well.


I agree with Urlacher you can't sit McCown with how hot he's been playing.  Cutler is injury prone, inconsistent and a little overrated.  He's a good quarterback but I think is future with the Bears might be in doubt depending on how well he plays when he returns and ow the Bears finish the season.

Cutler will probably have to deal with a very short leash and if he struggles don'r be surprised if they call on the hot hand of Josh McCown.




Wes Welker Out Against Chargers

Wes Welker suffered a second concussion in the last four weeks on Sunday and has been ruled out of Thursday's match up against the Chargers.


Welker's second concussion occurred on what seemed to be a routine play.  Yes his head was hit but not nearly as violently as we've seen other shots that result in concussions.  Given that it could be an issue with Welker going forward and he could miss another week as a precaution.




Corey Hart Signs with Mariners

The Mariners are clearly still active in the free agent market signing former Brewer Corey Hart.  Hart will reportedly protect Robinson Cano in the Mariners lineup.  I wouldn't classify the signing as protection for Cano.

Hart signs a 1 year $5 million dollar deal.  He missed all of the 2013 season with a right knee injury and at 31, there is no way to know if he will return to his old form.  So it's a little hopeful on the Mariners part and a little premature on the media's part to say he will protect Cano.  At this point we just don't know.




Andrew McCutchen Proposed on Ellen

Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen was on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the National League MVP proposed to his girlfriend Maria Hansloven.  The Pirates star got down on one knee and pulled out a ring in the middle of the show, while explaining:

"I didn't do any of this for the publicity...I didn't do any of this for the recognition...I did this to show you that if I could tell the whole world how much that I love you, I would do that."

RGIII Benched For Kirk Cousins

Mike Shanahan benches RGIII for the rest of the season.  Is it a move by Shanahan to get fired?  Is it to protect RGIII?  Or some sort of guilt because he played RGIII too long last year or too early this season?

No one will really know, what we do know is Kirk Cousins will be starting the next three weeks.  What is likely is there will be a coaching change in Washington next season.

Kansas Distracted by Gator MoHawk

Number 19 Florida is currently working on an upset of number 13 Kansas.  In part, we'll I'm giving credit to Will Yeguete and his awesome mohawk!





The Real Reason Cano Left The Yankees

The real reason Robinson Cano left the Yankees was he didn't want to play for Joe Girardi.  Well according to the New York Post anyway.  They claim to have received the information from three of Cano's unnamed friends.
According to three people who know Cano, he didn’t enjoy playing for manager Joe Girardi and that may have factored into the decision, though the Mariners giving him $60 million more than the Yankees offered ($175 million) likely had more to do with him leaving.
“Robbie didn’t like batting second, he wanted to bat in the middle of the order,’’ one person said. “The Yankees wanted him second because that was best for the team. He wanted to hit in the middle of the order to drive in runs [to increase his value].’’
One of the friends goes on to say specifically he didn't want to play for the current Yankees manager.
“He told me he didn’t want to play for [Girardi],’’ a friend of Cano’s said.
I'm sure Cano is happy with his decision to leave, for now anyway.  Let's circle back with him after a couple of losing seasons.  To think that just because the Mariners signed Cano and even a couple more players this off season and suddenly they will be contenders is absurd.  They have many holes to fill.




Mike Ditka's Number, Coaches Sweater and Mustache Retired on Monday Night Football

Mike Ditka finally got his number and coaches sweater retired in Chicago as two of his former teams faced off on Monday Night football.  The Ditka bowl dipped down into single digits and Coach didn't waste anytime with a short and sweet speech.

The Bears went on to destroy the Cowboys, 45-28 as Tony Romo and the Cowboys continue to choke in December.

It was a good night for Da Bears and Coach Ditka.

Roy Halladay Signs With The Blue Jays

Roy Halladay signed with the Blue Jays.  But it's not what you think!  The two time Cy Young Award winner signed a one day contract to retire as a Blue Jay.

The right hander spent the first twelve of his sixteen years in the major leagues as a member of the Blue Jays and the last four with the Phillies.  Halladay calls it quits after two difficult, injury plagued seasons.  The 36 year old is a 200 game winner and leaves the game almost 100 games over .500 with a record of 203-105 with an ERA of 3.38 in 416 career games.

The Blue jays made the announcement at the winter meetings in Orlando.





TJ Ward Defends Hit on Gronk and the Week of the Leg Injury



TJ Ward defends his hit on Rob Gronkowski that tore the tight end's ACL and MCL and says he "prays for him."

Ward put the hit heard round the NFL when he injured the Patriots playoff hope with a hit below the knees.  While the Patriots were 5-1 and did come back this Sunday without their big tight end, they've really started to click with him in there.

Gronk's might have been the one heard round the NFL but this week was the week of the knee and foot injury with several players going down.

Adrian Peterson left Sunday's game against the Ravens with up until this point is being called a sprained foot.  Jonathan Stewart left the Panthers and Saints game with a torn MCL and Arizona Cardinals defensive back, Tyrann Mathieu went down with a torn ACL.




Greg Hardy's Hilarious Intro on SNF

Greg Hardy introduced himself as Kracken and said he attended Hogwarts.  Too bad that was the highlight of the evening for the Panthers.  The Saints weren't playing a round and took care of business beating up on the Panthers 31-13 on Sunday Night Football.

Erasing a beat down at the hands of the Seahawks from the previous week.





This is Probably the Worst Shot You'll See in the NBA

Nick Young of the Lakers has Kobe's return to the court this weekend to thank for overshadowing this terrible shot.  Sure the Lakers were just fine without Kobe, I mean this guy lead the team in scoring on the same night he took this incredibly awful shot.

These are the types of moves suburban white kids have, not professional NBA players.





Kobe's Back

Only 8 months after tearing his Achilles, Kobe Bryant was back on the floor for the Lakers on Sunday.   The Lakers star played well but struggled shooting the ball only scoring 9 points and grabbing 8 boards.  But his return wasn't enough and the Lakers lost the game to Toronto 106-94.

Mike Shanahan Might Be The Next Coach Fired

Mike Shanahan addressed the rumors that have been swirling that he wanted out last year because of Dan Snyder and his relationship with RGIII.  Shanahan didn't deny the rumors and refused to discuss it.  The Redskins laid a giant turd getting blown out by the Chiefs and speculation is that he could be fired very soon.

This press conference probably didn't help save his job, although I doubt he wants to remain.





Matt Prater Sets NFL Record

Matt Prater set the NFL record for longest field goal with a 64 yarder against the Titans.  The cold weather didn't bother him!  It's fitting he would set the record on a day in the NFL that saw a couple other records set.  Most TD's in a day of NFL action (yeah the really keep track of that) and the fastest QB to 50,000 yards.  And of course lots of snow games to add to the fun.

See Prater's amazing kick below.

Rob Gronkowski Carted Off the Field After a Big Hit

Rob Gronkowski's season could be over just weeks after it began.  The often injured Patriot tight end suffered a vicious hit by Cleveland's TJ Ward.  If it's as bad as it looks then he's probably done for the season.

Gronk joins fellow star Adrian Peterson who also suffered a lower body injury and had to be carted off, on this very snowy day in the NFL.

Check out the hit below.





Adrian Peterson Left the Vikings/Ravens Game with an Ankle Injury

In one of several games in the snow today Adrian Peterson got hurt.  He left the game via the cart in the second quarter after suffering an ankle injury.  According to FOX Peterson is the Franchise leader for such injuries.





It's Snowing All Over the NFL Today

There is snow in several games up and down the east coast as the storm that dumped several inches of snow in Texas heads east.  It's affected the games but the players seem to be enjoying themselves.  Lots of old school, running and defensive football.

But if your a fan in the stadiums your experience is a little different.  It doesn't look like much fun for them.









Ohio State Loses Big Ten Championship Game

Ohio State lost to Michigan State 32-24 in the Big 10 championship game.  Losing their perfect record and probably a shot at a title.

With Florida State and Auburn taking care of their respective championship games and the loss by Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game, it looks as if the title game will come down to Florida State and Auburn.

It makes the most sense and Auburn fans clearly think so.  They celebrated the Ohio State loss into the night.

Jay Mohr Cracks Jokes About Danica Patrick at NASCAR Awards

Jay Mohr opened the NASCAR Awards by taking shots a Danica Patrick.  But Danica didn't take the shots sitting down, sure she didn't laugh, but she took a shot back.

Mohr (who knew he was still doing anything anyway?) felt the need to set the record straight after feeling some the on twitter.

Carlos Beltran Signs with the Yankees

On the a day when both Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson left town the Yankees signed Carlos Beltran.  After signing Jacoby Ellsbury the Yankees are now loaded with outfielders.

You gotta think either Beltran will be DHing the majority of time or Brett Gardner is on the way out.  Given Beltran's age he'll likely be DH.  Beltran signed for 3 years and $45 million dollars.




Mike Napoli Staying Put

Mike Napoli and his beard announced via his twitter account that he's staying in Boston.  It is being reported that the first basemen will ink a two year $32 million dollar contract to stay put in Boston.

It is also widely believed he had better offers on the table and chose to remain with the Red Sox.  Napoli of course was a key part of the Red Sox World Series run this past season and obviously want to try it again.


The signing is actually refreshing considering what has happened this week with Ellsbury, Saltalamacchia and Cano ditching clubs they spent several years with in favor of money.
