I have more people to add to Santa’s NAUGHTY list, because they are behaving badly – so now the ACC is suing the University of Maryland for $53 million, because they moved to the Big Ten. That is a very hefty cost to move anywhere. Here I thought the people who charged the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak $103 thousand to move her out of her house was expensive; the Phillies’ Carlos Ruiz was suspended for 25 games because he failed a 2nd drug test for amphetamines. Do these people really think they are going to get away with this? Here is an idea for athletes suspended for drug use….JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS. At least he didn’t make up elaborate stories like Seattle’s Sherman who swears he accidentally took a sip of a teammate’s bottle that had a crushed prescription drug in it. Ummm, now he is being a snitch. Sound like the Attention Seeking Kobe effect to me; I keep telling people that sports and politics do not mix. Now, Cowboys’ fans have petitioned the White House to remove Jerry Jones as the owner of our beloved team. Ummmm, the President and company have BIGGER issues to deal with. Fellow brothers and sisters, our frustration with JJ and company (Garrett/Romo) isn’t on their radar; so the University of Southern Mississippi (where Brett Favre went to college) has finally fired their head football coach after posting a season perfect record. They lost every game. Who does this? Wait, the Washington Wizards have also loss every game, but I will talk about that later. The Wizards are also on the Santa’s naughty list. Anyhoo, I don’t understand why this firing took so long. They went from being conference champions to being the worst team in the conference. As I think about it…I remember getting a letter back in early October asking for another donation. Maybe they had to raise the $2.1 million for Johnson’s buyout. Are you still wondering why tuition has gone up?
There are a few people on Santa’s naughty list this week, because they are behaving badly – another NFL player has been suspended for 4 games. This time it is the Patriots’ defensive end, Jermaine Cunningham for taking performance enhancing drugs. So now we know why New England has looked so good. They have been cheating again. The entire squad should be tested; the Lions’ Suh has not received a fine yet for kicking the Texans’ QB, Matt Schaub in the groin, but the incident is under review. Good luck trying to decide if he intentionally meant to do it; the NBA for going into business with an energy bracelet company that had to file bankruptcy after it was sued for false advertisement of a product (the bracelet) that couldn’t do all that it claimed. Ummm, why are all the players being made to wear the bracelets and necklaces? The NBA should be receiving a lump of coal for real this Christmas; everyone involved with the NHL lockout can also expect a lump of coal this year in their stockings as well. I doubt we have a season at this point. Now, I have to return all my hockey gear. They are definitely on the naughty list; the Knicks who claimed they were the best in the league are probably angry that the Nets proved they were the best in NY though. You can’t be mad during the holidays. Brooklyn got an early Christmas present. The Knicks better be nice, because Santa has his eye on them; someone on Santa’s good list is Cam and the Panthers since they beat the Eagle last night. Superman should be flying high! Speaking of Cam…I am in love with the Play60 commercial where the little boy tells Cam that he wants to grow up and be Newton’s mom favorite player and take his place. Then tells him he is just loosening up his arm – classic. Like the Mean Joe Green Coke commercial!
Athletes/Owners/Organizations/Fans Behaving badly – Happy Holidays to each of you. Let me take this opportunity to say that last week’s Flag On The Play Award recipient was Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys for hiring himself, Garrett, and Romo. This has proven to be a BAD combination for a few years. Like TLC would say, SWITCH. It’s time to switch things up with that organization. I am so upset, he may be a contender again this week; other contenders this week consist of: the stadium maintenance service in charge of the up keep of the Miami Dolphins’ stadium. Who turns the sprinkler system own in the middle of a professional game? Are you still wondering how Miami beat the Seahawks? Wonder no more! Hmmmm, they may have taken a page out of the Chargers or Patriots’ “How To Cheat” book; speaking of Seattle. Two of their cornerbacks, Sherman and Browner were suspended (not for a bounty scandal) for violating the performance enhancing drug use policy. Again, people, if you do drugs, you will be caught. Stop embarrassing yourself and your family. I know people have said to deny things until proven guilty, but some things you should not deny, when there is blatant evidence; the Jets’ superfan, Fireman Ed has stepped down, not because NY sucks and he is tired of them losing, but because he has received threats from Tebow fans, since he wears a Sanchez jersey. Hmmm, I guess they have to find something else to distract from the Jets’ horrible season. I guess the threats are worse than having beer thrown on you, as the Raiders’ fans did to their QB Palmer. I told Oakland, they should have kept my homeboy, Campbell; the people who gunned down former world boxing champion, Hector “Macho” Camacho, while he sat in a car have also made this week’s list. When I first heard the report, I was told he was pulling a Tupac and would be ok, but unfortunately the 50 year old’s injuries were more serious. He passed away from shots to his face; congrats to this week’s winners: Redskins – R2D2 & company really played well; Giants – Rodgers & the Packers may want to do a double check on their season; 49ers – I guess the Who Dats are now saying Why Dat; Patriots – I told you the Jets shouldn’t be bad mouthing a man of God; Texans – I couldn’t believe the Lions sent this into overtime; Jaguars – I guess if they had to beat someone, the Titans were the ones; Falcons – I didn’t expect the Bucs to win anyway; Rams – the Cardinals are going backwards; Ravens – I guess the Chargers forgot their stick ‘em again; Bengals – they played the Raiders; Broncos – they only played the Chiefs. Have they won a game yet; Dolphins – those sprinklers helped them beat the Seahawks; Bears – ran over the Vikings; Colts – I guess Luck wasn’t on the Bills side; Browns – stunned the Steelers.
Athletes/Fans Behaving Badly –we do not mix church and state, I don’t think you should mix sports and politics! Ohio State is a contender this week for petitioning President Obama and the Whitehouse to pardon the Buckeyes for their wrong doings and override the excessive sanctions placed on them by the NCAA. While I think that the sanctions were a little extreme, however universities and colleges have to abide by the rules. Nice try, but you have been flagged; Kansas City can’t catch a break. They are considered the worst team in the NFL and now a fan’s obituary stated that he died from heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Chiefs. Even though this is extreme, for some reason I can’t stop laughing. He is a contender this week; so David Beckham says this is his last year with the LA Galaxy. I hear that Australia is trying to woo him to play in the A-League. I don’t care where he plays as long as he makes more underwear ads; NASCAR’s Brad Keselowski won the Sprint Cup, then did an interview with a HUGE Miller Lite in his hand. He would have been a contender, but he drives the Miller Lite car, and he wasn’t driving; so many people are upset that University of Maryland has decided to leave the ACC and join the Big Ten. Now, I am all for people/teams/organizations doing what is best for them, however I think it is in bad taste for a charter member to leave. Would love to hear your thoughts. Right now, they are contenders this week.
Athletes/Organizations Behaving Badly – let’s look at our winners from yesterday – so the Steelers caused quite a buzz yesterday. They are contenders because they thought it was a good idea to wear the BUMBLE BEE costumes after Halloween. Now Steelers’ fans you knew your season was over when Big Ben went down and Leftwich was the backup! I guess you thought the Bumble Bee costume would help you disguise your hopelessness. The Ravens got the joke and laughed all the way to a victory; I guess the LUCK stopped in New England, because the Patriots beat the Colts as if they were holding an Even The SCORE Football 101 Clinic. I am still suspicious though. If I were Indy, I would have scoped the sidelines for hidden cameras; the Bills broke the Dolphins’ fin wins; the Bengals beat the Chiefs, but who didn’t think that was going to happen? I couldn’t figure out which one of the birds was going to win in Atlanta, but the Falcons pulled it out. They keep winning at the last second. A win is a win no matter the time; I guess Norv Turner and the Chargers can’t win without the stick ‘em. Manning and the Broncos made it look easy; the Packers beat the Lions, but that was a close one. The Lions have heart, but Green Bay had more yesterday; I guess the Jets have been Tebowing, cause they beat the Rams. Wait, everyone beats St. Louis. Except the Redskins; speaking of R2D2 and company…they ruffled a few feathers yesterday, with a win against the Eagles. While I am thankful for my FREE 6 inch sub from Subway today, you beat Philly. The Redskins will NOT win on Thanksgiving Day; the Jaguars blew a HUGE win against the Texans. I am trying to figure out if they are just that bad or if Houston is just that SPECTACULAR! I think it’s the Texans; don’t know why Cam and company can’t hold on to a lead. First, Dem Boys now the Bucs. Remember this, Cam is out there soon; the Raiders just can’t catch a break or a football. The Who Dat Saints are getting better and better. Maybe they can pull this off without Sean Payton. Beside the Cowboys, need Payton anyway. Garrett has to go; speaking of America’s team…Dem Boys beat the Browns, but barely! I can’t even get excited about this because they should have won! Jerry and I have to talk, because this is unacceptable! Thursday they are going to win in Dallas and my Thanksgiving will be complete; on another note…the Knicks received their first “L” this season from them boys in Memphis! People had better recognize the Grizzlies have come to play!
Let’s meet The Flag On The Play contenders for this week – Ex-WNBA star, Chamique Holdsclaw was arrested for busting out her ex-girlfriend’s windows and then shooting into the car. I wonder if she was listening to that song by Jazmine Sullivan telling her friend she bust the windows out their car. Either way it was wrong, but I cannot give her this award, because we know she has been receiving treatments for mental illness. She gets a pass this week, but she is a runner up; ex-Lakers turn 76ers’ Bynum is having an identity crisis. He can’t decide if he wants to be Don King or Ike Turner. I knew something was wrong, when he decided to play for LA; Texas Tech’s head coach Tuberville slaps his graduate assistance’s headset off during a game. It couldn’t have been me. The game would have been stopped by the action on the sidelines. Just saying….I don’t condone violence, but don’t push me; speaking of pushing…..the Grizzlies’ Zach Randolph and Thunder’s Kendrick Perkins were thrown out the game for pushing and yelling at each other. Then they start brawling near the locker rooms, and the police had to break it up. I am going to say this one more time….IT IS NOT THAT SERIOUS! SPORTS ARE JUST FOR FUN. If you want to fight take it to the ring, and get paid to throw down. Now, you are probably going to have to pay the NBA for fighting. You are just stupid; Jets’ Cromartie and his teammates are hating on Tebow, but why are they doing it secretively? Didn’t Joseph’s brother hate on him too and then he saved them in the end? If you spent more time Tebowing and less time hating, you probably would win a few games. Just saying….stop hating on others and focus on doing your job well; some things you just don’t do…Commissioner Stern and the NBA are debating if they should place advertisement patches on the jerseys of the players. This is wrong on so many different levels. This gives a new meaning to walking advertisement; a Pennsylvania high school’s hockey team banned the National Anthem from being played because they wanted to save on the rental cost. They said time is money and the cost of ice rink was expensive. First prayer, now this! And they wonder why our schools are going to hell in a hand basket with gasoline draws on; but this week’s winner is even more deserving than all these people put together. Earlier this week, gold medalist/soccer great, Hope Solo fiancé, former Seahawk Jerramy Stevens was arrested the day before their wedding for domestic abuse. Did I mention that they had only been dating 2 months? They appeared in court on Tuesday morning and were married Tuesday evening. A few things…1.) If he hit you, it’s not love. 2.) Get to know the person you are dating, before you marry them. Ain’t nothing wrong with conducting a background investigation. If it turns out that this person has abused people in his past, he probably will abuse you too. You are not the exception. 3.) Marrying him makes it impossible for her to testify against him. I thought she was off the drugs! She deserves this Flag On The Play award more than anyone! Those drugs have affected her decision making.
Athletes/Organizations Behaving Badly – Why are Jets’ teammates speaking badly about Tebow? One player said that he was terrible! Coach Sexy Rexy Ryan called all the players who are talking bad about Tebow and not revealing who they are cowards. They should be thanking him. He is the only reason that fans are attending their games. Seriously, jealousy is not cute on you! Get over yourselves and figure out how to win games with Tebow; I really need to speak with someone from People Magazine. They came out with a list of sexiest men and guess who made the list? I will give you a hint…they are part of the NBA Champion Heat team. No, it’s not James or Wade, or Bosh. It’s Chalmers. He has been named the sexiest man from Alaska. Ummm, I am not going to say that I have seen sexier men from that state. Anyhoo, congrats; so Magic Johnson is now upset with the Lakers organizations. Not because they fired Mike Brown, not because Kobe and company haven’t won many games, but he is mad because Phil Jackson was not chosen to head the Lakers’ sinking ship, even though the fans cried out for him; Texas A&M’s receiver, Thomas Johnson was reported missing since Monday. Many feared he had been kidnapped, so that he could not play in this week’s game against Sam Houston State. Apparently he has been found unharmed. While I am concerned when any child goes missing, I say this is suspect. The people who reported him missing (his mother) may be a contender this week; some players, who are forced to leave the Lakers, have problems settling in other places. Remember Odom decided he just didn’t want to play in Dallas. Now the new 76ers’ Bynum is having an identity crisis. He can’t decide if he wants to be Don King or Ike Turner. Have you seen him lately? He is a contender this week; I am still trying to understand why punters are not in the NFL Hall of Fame, more importantly why the Raiders’ Ray Guy has not made it into the Hall of Fame. He is one of the best punters that have played the game. Am I the only one that thinks this is strange?
Athletes/Fans/Organizations Behaving Badly – Gold medalist and soccer great, Hope Solo is in the news again, but not for drugs this time. Her fiancé, former Seahawk Jerramy Stevens (they have only being dating for 2 months – Ummmm, wait is this faster than Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom?) was arrested the day before their wedding for domestic abuse. She is the supposed victim, but why are they still talking about getting married? Ladies, if he hit you one time he will hit you again! Stop the madness and let that situation go. There are other men out there that will treat you so much better; so a Texas A&M fan bet a friend that he would get a tattoo of the score on his behind if Texas A&M won the game. Well he loss and got a tattoo of the score, but why does it say ATM 29 vs. Bama 24? Isn’t the name of the school Texas A&M? People, stop this foolishness! He is a definite contender this week for not only getting a tattoo of a score, but for not getting the name right; speaking of contenders…Commissioner Stern and the NBA are debating if they should place advertisement patches on the jerseys of the players. They expect to make over $100 million in additional revenue. Why do they need more revenue? Can you imagine Kobe with a Maxi Pad advertisement on his jersey? This may be a good thing for him though. He can use them to soak up all his tears after losing games like the one last night against the Spurs. Just saying; another contender this week is the Pennsylvania high school hockey team that banned the National Anthem from being played because they wanted to save on the rental cost. The school said that the cost of ice rink was expensive and they wanted to save money somewhere. What is the US coming to? First prayer, now the National Anthem. This is too much! People, we as a country have to do better!
I just want to thank all our servicemen/women who risk their lives/have risked their lives daily for our safety. You made it possible for Dem Boys to beat the Eagles – sorry Vick for that SERIOUS concussion; the Texans to beat up on the Bears – good things come from Texas; the Titans to stomp the Dolphins – ummm, how that happen Reggie Bush; the Vikings to turn the Lions’ roar to a growl; the Seahawks to ground the Jets during their flight – no wonder NY’s Cromartie is cussing/cursing out Tebow supporters (Who cusses/curses out a man of God’s supporters? He is a contender); the Patriots hold off the Bills; the Who Dat Saints crew stopped the Falcons in mid flight – that was just dirty; the Colts turn the Jaguars into pets; the Broncos run over the Panthers – don’t know if the Superman thing is working for Cam anymore. Everyone is doing it, including Denver; the Bucs deflect the Chargers’ lightning bolt; the Bengals turn into David and slayed the Giants; the Steelers knock out the Chiefs without Big Ben; the Ravens made the Raiders retreat – this was more painful to watch in person. Baltimore set a franchise record. Oakland’s Heyward-Bey mother was behind me yelling, “You can win, baby!” Too bad the rest of the team can’t; the Rams tie with the RED HOT 49ers – maybe they are on simmer right now; the revamped Lakers chose a coach that can’t help them win – well they had that in Brown why change; Phil Jackson considers coming out of retirement to humiliate the Lakers’ VP Buss; NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon pays $100K for intentionally wrecking another driver – ummmm, imagine if other drivers had to pay that much for causing an accident. Our commute to the office would be a lot smoother; Texas Tech’s head coach Tuberville slaps his graduate assistance’s headset off during a game; and for the Dallas Cowboys to win in Philly with all the crazy fans. Ladies and gentlemen of the Armed Forces, I thank you, thank you, thank you for making this all possible!
Even The SCORE in the Huddle
