USC/Bengals Maualuga Faces DUI Charge

January 29, 2010 by

Here is a prime example of pure stupidity.  We always ask each other, “With all the money professional players make, why don’t they get a driver or at the very last get a taxi?”

Police in northern Kentucky have arrested Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga on charges of DUI and careless driving. Maualuga decided to test his slalom skills with a parking meter and two parked cars earlier this morning in his 2003 Pontiac.  A 2003 Pontiac? C’mon Rey a 2003 Pontiac? Did you purposively drive this hooptie because you knew you were going to get straight plowed and would end up wrecking your ride?

Maualuga was almost two times the legal limit and he is nursing a broken ankle that happened in Week 16 against the Chiefs. Now, for the final two questions. You are from southern California and your season is over so what in the blue hell are you are still doing in Kentucky? Duuuuude, WTF?

Goodbye Gilbert

January 27, 2010 by

David Stern made the announcement today, one many have been waiting for since December, that Gilbert Arenas has been suspended for the rest of the NBA season. This was supposively at the request of Gilbert and the word is he will ask the union not to fight his suspension. The suspension will cost Arenas nearly $10 million of his $16.2 million salary this year. Gilbert is playing this up pretty well because we all know the only reason he is asking to be suspended for the year is so he can avoid being suspended for an even longer term. When Arenas decided to bring unlicensed guns into the NBA workplace he made a gigantic mistake. When he later made jokes about his mistake and even mimicked the act of shooting guns with his hands in a pre-game huddle he showed complete lack of remorse. It is still up in the air if Gilbert will play out the remaining $80+ million contract with the Wizards or if the organization will void his contract. I think the Wizards decision on to void or not to void will come down to whether or not Gilbert is senteced to jail time. On a separate note Javaris Crittenton who was the other teammate involved in “gun gate” has also been suspended for the rest of the season by the NBA.

Terrence Cody’s Sweater Stretchers

January 27, 2010 by

I know lineman have to be bigger than life and eat 5,000 calories or more a day to keep the weight up, but does anyone think Terrence Cody has taken this notion a bit far? Dude has a bigger rack than Roseanne Barr and he doesn’t seem to have any defined muscle on his body. Yes, he could beat me to a pulp in two seconds or less, but come on man!

Lane Kiffin’s Arrogance is Despicable

January 25, 2010 by

Lane Kiffin has been with USC for all of two weeks yet he has already found enough time to commit a recruiting violation. According to reports from several sources the new head coach of USC decided to pick up a recruit recently from the airport in a limo. While it is only a secondary violation it is just another example that Lane Kiffin thinks he is untouchable. During his reign as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers the football program reported SIX secondary violations and the NCAA is looking into two other possible violations. I’m still amazed this joker is regarded as a top notch coach when you consider how poorly he did with the Raiders and was only 7-6 with the Volunteers. If he didn’t surround himself with the highest paid college coaching staff in the nation it wouldn’t take long at all to find out Lane is a complete fraud. I hope USC is happy with their choice now because I don’t think the happiness will last very long.

The Saints Come Marching In

January 25, 2010 by

The New Orleans Saints are headed to their first Super Bowl in franchise history after winning a thrilling overtime game 31-28 against the Minnesota Vikings. Garrett Hartley confidently nailed a 40-yard goal that ignited a celebration in the Super Dome and throughout New Orleans of epic proportion. Things could have ended very differently had Brett Favre not thrown an interception deep in Saints territory very late in the fourth quarter of the game. Time to burn those paper bag masks and drop the nickname the Aints because even though the Saints were outgained by 218 yards, tallied 16 fewer first downs and possessed the ball almost 10 minutes less than the Vikings they still found a way to win the NFC Championship. New Orleans will have their hands full in Miami in a couple of weeks when they face Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, but they deserve a lot of credit for making the biggest game on Earth. Who Dat!

The Pro Bowl Has Lost It’s Luster

January 23, 2010 by

Are you getting amped up in anticipation for the Pro Bowl next Sunday in Miami? I didn’t think so and really why should you? Let’s face it when Vince Young is named to the AFC roster you know it has become a complete joke. I’m not saying Young isn’t a good quarterback because he did help turn around the Titans season, but he shouldn’t be at the Pro Bowl. Vince had 10 touchdown passes on the season to go along with 7 interceptions and Jason Campbell had a higher QB rating than him. Uggh!

No Philip Rivers, no Tom Brady and no Ben Roethlisberger plus Larry Fitzgerlad has pulled out to only be replaced by New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith, who basically disappeared the second half of the season. As a fan, I like the idea of all-star games, but I’m starting to understand that the NFL’s version is just generic. It’s being played now at the wrong time of the year and this year is won’t be in Hawaii so the paradise destination is no longer attached to it. By moving the game up a couple of weeks, the NFL is robbing me the luxury of watching any of the Super Bowl players because not one of them will participate. I understand players will pull out due to injuries and I get it that players like Brett Favre, if he is available after this Sunday, will turn down the invite yet it used to be fun. Yes, the game is lax, the rules are made for points to be put up and the players themselves do everything they can to not get injured, but it was fun. It’s nice to watch the league’s best players play one more game before we lose football totally until late August. Not this year. We will instead watch a lot of second tier guys take the field in Miami without the colorful sideline gear we are used to seeing in Hawaii. Roger, I’m begging you to wise up and move this game back to Hawaii the week after the Super Bowl or

Controversy Going into the Olympics

January 22, 2010 by

I am sure you have been biting your nails while looking at the calendar with impatience because you just can’t wait for the 2010 Winter Olympics start. So since you are such a pair ice dancing maniac you probably already have heard about what happened at the European Skating Championships with the Olympic favorites.

Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin who are considered the ultimate favorites to win gold this year wowed the crowd with a routine to remember. They swished and sashayed their way into the lead with an opening skate that was supposively very offensive to Aborigines. The performance is generating a lot of anger in Australia and the aboriginal elder Sol Bellear even called the dance “very offensive.” There were no concerns issued from judges or spectators, but the aborginal people in Australia feel exploited. So the controversy burns on, but the bigger controversy is in relation to Maxim’s costume. Can someone tell me what the heck is on this guys head? What tree or bush is he portraying to be? Yikes!

Wow, I just cant wait to watch the Winter Olympics.
