I may not be a Saints fan, but if there’s one thing I can appreciate it’s a bad ass tailgating mobile. Sure this pimped out Saints limousine might not be ideal for transporting the necessary equipment to cook a massive feast, but that’s why you make your buddy drive his own car to the game. You know, so he can lug all that shit with him.
Who dat!
There is a “very good chance” Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford will announce he is having season-ending surgery on his shoulder, a source told ESPN’s Joe Schad on Wednesday.
The term “bummer” doesn’t even begin to describe the crap situation that has befallen both the Sooner QB and their fans. This happening after Bradford had just come back from an injured shoulder sustained early in the season. Here’s something for Sooner fans to watch, so they can remember better days.
Or maybe that just rubbed salt into the wounds… Oops!

Fox 29′s Mike Jerrick interviews the founding members of the Padilla Flotilla and their feelings on Vincente Padilla pitching for the Dodgers. And somehow, the conversation turns to pussy:
I like how at 0:37, the dude in the white Phillies jersey responds to Mike’s question as if it’s the most obvious, blatant question he’s ever been asked. Of course I can get behind Carlos, what kind of question is that? It’s rhetorical, right?
Buckeye quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, has been this weeks top news story in the realm of college sports (minimal in the grand scheme of things, but hey – it’s something for fans to yell about!). After an admittedly crap performance against a similarly crap Purdue team, Ohio State fans have been calling for Pryor’s head. First of all, we all need a reality check. Pryor is just a kid. A twenty year old playing at one of the top programs in all of college sports. He’s playing a game. Let’s not loose our heads. Now that we’ve all taken a deep breath, we can be crazy fans again.
In the beginning of the week, it was Coach Vest keeping the media wolves at bay, saying he’s on Pryor’s side. Then Pryor’s high school coach, Ray Reitz, called out Ohio State on how they’re using him, saying he should be able to run the ball more and that he looks like a robot in this offense. Even worse, the coach went on to indicate that Pryor would have been a better fit for Rich Rodriguez’s offense over at Michigan. All of this unwanted attention noticeably shook the young athlete, but he seemed a bit more relaxed yesterday. Of course, you’d be feeling relaxed, too, if LeBron James was on your side.
James said he has been speaking to Pryor on the phone in recent weeks to try to help him deal with celebrity at a young age. James knows something about that, since he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated under the headline “The Chosen One” while he was still in high school in Akron, Ohio.
While LeBron increases his kindest athlete street cred, Pryor can breathe a bit easier with the King’s advice. Only time well tell, though, just how relaxed he’s really feeling now. Will Pryor look like the robot his high school coach seems to think he’s become, or will he be the Vince Young sequel he was predicted to be? We’ll see when the Buckeyes take on the Golden Gophers Saturday. I would say it should be an easy game, but I also said that about Purude and look what happened…

I don’t know what Richard Seymour has been smoking, but I think it’s clear that he’s forgotten who he plays for. There’s no way the Raiders are making the playoffs this year. That’s not how Al Davis operates. He manages his franchise to be positioned for the playoffs four years from the current season – every year.
So it’s basically like a treadmill with a bunch of really expensive fat guys running on it – going nowhere.
There are going to be plenty of plot line in the NBA this season. Let’s face it. Can the Lakers repeat? Will the Cavs make a go at it? How will Richard Jefferson improve the Spurs. Does Timmy D have one more championship left in him?
What are these new refs gonna do to the game. How about the new traveling rule? OK, I get it. These are all realistic questions that will be answered.
But I need to know some other things. I want some real plot lines,and here they are.
From the tabloid rag New York Post:
ESPN analyst Steve Phillips had a fling with a 22-year-old production assistant, who, after being dumped, taunted his wife with “Fatal Attraction”-like phone calls and a letter that bragged about her sexcapades with Phillips while taking pot shots at their “loveless marriage,” The Post has learned.
The former Met general manager, whose tenure with the team was rocked by admissions of infidelity, confessed to his wife and local cops that he had slept with ESPN assistant Brooke Hundley several times this past summer before dumping her.
First of all, what the fuck is it with ESPN employees? You’ve got Harold Reynolds being fired for “inappropriate hugs,” and Sean Salisbury running around showing people pictures of his cock on his cell phone. Now Steve Phillips has bitten off more than he can chew by banging some intern.
Didn’t we learn anything from the Steve McNair incident, Steve? If you’re going to cheat, make sure the girl is somewhat sane. Your marriage is over, but you should be thankful you weren’t part of a murder-suicide. But that’s not the real story here. Not even close.
Steve Phillips is a reasonably good-looking dude with a ridiculous tan and a prestigious job. So why on Earth is he risking his home and money to sleep with the mutant above? How ugly is your wife? How bad can the sex be? I thought Clinton banging Monica Lewinsky was slumming it, but I had no idea how bad it could get. Jesus Christ, Steve. I can think of at least 20 things I’d rather stick my penis in before that girl, including cheese graters and blenders. Phillips was an atrocious GM and he is was an equally bad baseball analyst, so I shouldn’t be too shocked if he thought fucking one of the Mystics from the Dark Crystal was a good idea:
Yesterday Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher introduced Tony Dungy at an event in Nashville, and pulled a chuckle out of the audience by removing his shirt and tie to reveal that he was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey (2:24 mark of the video for the impatient). He then delivered the zinger by saying he just “wanted to feel like a winner.”
Ha ha ha ha. Aha ha ha ha.
Enough with the loser talk okay? This would be funny if both Fisher and Dungy were retired, but given that Fisher is at the helm of a soon to be 0-7 team, I don’t think this did anything to sooth things over with the Titans front office.
