Christopher Campbell, a Publix employee and volunteer high school football coach in Florida, was arrested and charged with threatening his players with a knife.
According to the police, Campbell pointed the knife in a threatening manner and tapped a player in the chest with it. He also admitted to saying “Don’t try me today.”
This is why I don’t trust volunteer high school football coaches, especially ones that are trying to fill time in between stocking produce. From my experience 8/10 times these guys have a screw lose, and I’m not talking about in a good way, where they actually motivate you. I’m talking about in an always standing near your locker while your changing, and following you home in his car everyday kind of way.
The good news is that once Campbell gets released I think I found the perfect job for him that will let him play with knifes. Really big fuckin’ knives…
Richard Seymour and the Raiders got the respect they deserved this weekend. Unfortunately though it didn’t come with mustard and relish on it. As you just saw above, Mark Sanchez thought it would be a good idea to cure his hunger with a hot dog on the sideline with his team on their way to a 38-0 victory over the Raiders.
Nothing about this whole scenario surprised me. After all, we all know that the Raiders suck and that Sanchez loves his hot dog in between a bun.
Zing.

If you’ve been watching a lot of football and playoff baseball lately, then you’ve probably noticed that Chris Berman is the pitch man for Applebee’s and their two for $20 meal deal. Despite the fact that Applebee’s triggers something in my brain that immediately makes me start quoting Ricky Bobby, I happened to recall that Berman is also promoting Nutrisystem.
Yes, as in the diet weightloss program.
Maybe I sniffed too much glue this morning, but I’m pretty sure that Applebee’s buffalo tenders aren’t going to be knocking of the lbs. for anyone.
Who knew that working for ESPN makes you a chick magnet? I’m serious, look at these guys. Berman, Berry, Marcellus, and even the Sportsguy! Hell, not even Deadspin commenter Jennifer Williams can’t resist.
I guess working for ESPN is the new Sex Panther cologne. 60% of the time, it works every time.
The short answer. No.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger helped clear the way Thursday for a new football stadium to be built near Los Angeles and in the process sent a slight shiver through Minnesota Vikings fans.
As he signed legislation Thursday designed to fast-track a stadium by exempting it from state environmental laws, Schwarzenegger signaled the state would be looking outside its borders for a new team.
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!
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.
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.
