Lights Out on the 2008 Season for Merriman



Chris Mortensen has reported that Shawne Merriman's season is over. The Chargers announced Shawne will be placed on injured reserve so he can have surgery on his knee.

You have to give the guy credit for at least trying to go out there and help his team. I cannot think of many players that would have even attempted it.

10 Reasons My World Is A Better Place Since Tom Brady's Injury


1. Every fantasy football manager in the world is looking really dumb right now for drafting a quarterback in the first round. My number one rule has always been a quarterback is never worth a 1st round pick. I look like a genius.
2. He dates a supermodel. I know someone has to date them but I think I would prefer they date each other. Maybe now she will go after someone that walks without crutches.
3. He is entirely too perfect. Perfect looking, perfect acting…just perfect. It is nice to see he is human.
4. Belichick will really have to cheat now and hopefully get caught big time.
5. My old boss Wayne is a huge Patriots fan. For years, I had to sit and listen to him gloat. The only thing I could picture in my mind after the news yesterday was his sad little pudgy red face after hearing the terrible news. Paybacks are a bitch.
6. I won’t have to hear about the Patriots having another perfect season. As a matter of fact, the AFC is wide open right now. The odds for the Patriots to win the Superbowl dropped drastically yesterday, from 5-2 to 6-1. I love Vegas!
7. The Chiefs needed a positive start to their season and I think this is it. Every team will fear the mighty Chief’s D or maybe not.
8. Stetson Cologne will have to find a new spokesperson. With Joe Simpson’s help, I think Tony Romo might be the new man.
9. Now maybe Boston can focus on the real heroes of Bean town: Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis. If I didn’t love the Cubs so much, this team would be my favorite.
10. After San Diego’s terrible performance against Carolina yesterday, this has to mean the Steelers have the best shot to make it all the way to the AFC Championship game.

Tom Brady Out For the Season:Chiefs Do Something Right

Tom Brady is out for the season. Reports are he has a torn ACL and they will make it official once he has a MRI. It happened in the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs as he was dropping back to pass. Kansas City safety Bernard Pollard whacked Brady on the knee, Brady went down clutching his knee and had to be helped off the field.

Finally the Chiefs have done something right! It's ok to perform terribly if you do something that helps out all the other teams in the league occasionally and this is a BIG help. Bernard, I am sending you some roses tomorrow. The evil Brady/Belichick empire has halfway been crumbled thanks to you! Viva la Chiefs!

Rashad Evans Shocks the World



Rashad Evans shocks the world with a second round knockout of Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell.

I have to admit that I did not buy this fight, nor go over to my buddy Jimmy's house to watch it because I thought it would be a dud. In the past few fights involving Evans, I have found myself dozing off. I really thought Liddell would go in and make very quick work of him and that would be that.

I nearly swallowed my toothbrush this morning while watching the highlights on ESPN. That punch was incredible and knocked Liddell right out. I guess that shows me that I know nothing and should just buy every UFC fight no matter what.

Couture Returns to the Octagon!


I thought I might have snoozed after work and was having a great dream that Randy Couture will return to the octagon to fight Brock Lesnar. After touching my chin and realizing no drool equals no sleep, I see on ESPN that my dream has come true! Randy is coming back November 15th to take on Brock Lesnar.
Randy has not fought since August of 2007 but I really think he can win against Brock Lesnar. I don't know if the Pay Per View is for sale yet but the minute it goes on sale, I am ordering it up. This will be a good one!

Almost Time for Some Football!!!!!



Yes, it is almost that time again. Glorious football season! I can hardly stand it. All my fantasy football drafts are now complete, I have ordered NFL Sunday Ticket along with Super Fan and I have bought stock in Pizza Inn. What more do you need????

I like to make predictions at the beginning of every season so after the season I can look back and see just how dumb I really am. Here we go:

The Pittsburgh Steelers will win the Superbowl. Ok, well I say that every year...can't blame me for trying.

The Kansas City Chiefs will suck once again this year and finally, Herm Edwards will be fired.

Darren McFadden will win Rookie of the Year.

The Dallas Cowboys will reach the playoffs again and lose AGAIN.

T. O. will blame Jessica Simpson.

Jessica Simpson will blame Carrie Underwood.

Continuing with the Old Geezer Halftime Show this year, Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow will perform.

The Broncos will be just ok yet again and finally...finally Shanny will be gone from Denver.

Coach Mike Tomlin will contact me and say, " Hey, we need you. Please attend all our games as a sideline blogger." Coach, if you are listening my bags are packed!

In my second year, as the first female ever allowed to play in the ZEFF auction league, I will win the championship.

I will attend at least one Kansas City Chiefs game this season and then wonder why I bothered.

Division winners:

AFC East: Duh the Patriots. Why in the world would the NFL give the nearly perfect team the easiest schedule???

AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers. Did you expect something different???

AFC South: Jacksonville Jaguars. That's right, I did not pick the Colts.

AFC West: San Diego Chargers.

NFC East: Dallas Cowboys.

NFC North: Minnesota Vikings.

NFC South: New Orleans Saints.

NFC West: Seattle Seahawks.

Well there you have. Enjoy the 2008 season and don't forget to get your popcorn ready!
