I hate the Falcons

I can't really hate them. I actually hate 15 yards of penalties when you are on the 4 yard line. Basically I will never watch football again....until next week.

Brady comes from behind?

My thoughts...

Have you ever seen a raccoon devour a squirrel? Thats what it was like watching the Pats Bills game. Now, granted, I only watched it on NFL.com on the updates, but it was lame out the wazoo.

Matt Forte needs to step it up.

LT looks old. Betty While old.

Titans' Run-D is still off the chain.

6 TDs? Give me a break.

Id rather eat a VHS tape than watch the Bengals play. Talk about boring.

Thats all...


Prediction for next week- Julius Jones will score 3 TDs. Boom.

NFL Post-Week 1

There were a few things that upset me this week after the NFL festivities this weekend. The first being the Bronco's win over the Bengals. I hate that the only way my Bronc's can win is with a standard tip drill gone wrong. Orton may have "outplayed" Cutler, but let's not call what's brown, soft and stinky a Latina woman's foot when we all know it's a piece of poop. Orton under-threw that pass because he's not good and the sore Finger is a sore excuse (also, it sounds kind of "Nancy" in nature). Next on the list is Tom Brady lovers, that is, anyone who has a man crush on Tom Brady. Not just that, anyone who thinks the Patriots are as dominant as they were two years ago. The Bills choked, that's why Tom and his stretchy pants were able to lead the team to a "W" and continue mesmerizing all of his groupies. I'm saying it now, the Patriots will NOT win their division. Boom! Finally for all you Kanye haters, I really wish you'd just give the guy a break. His mom is dead and he was merely just pointing out that the giant who is Taylor Swift should understand that Beyonce's hips don't lie. Granted, I too agree he looked completely ridiculous, I just can't help but defend the guy because that "Flashing Lights" song just makes me want to put on my tap shoes and light-up some sparks. Oww!

Let True Summer Begin

Downtown and I are going to a Royals game tonight. I know it is June almost July, but going to the first game of the year finally rings in summer. The look of the grass, the smell of the hot dogs, and the rednecks that you wounder how they even got in the game. It's as if heaven has come down to earth. And no the game isn't in Iowa, Shoeless Joe will not be present. I think people that live near their team and can go to more games don't feel the same as I do. I get one game a year, maybe, sometimes years between them. I love baseball and the child like join of seeing my beloved Cubs win on a given day. I wish people paid me a lot of money to run around in my pajamas.

A quick thought on Vick

I know my opinion a) doesn't matter and 2) won't be popular. But how does Michael Vick get treated like........I almost said criminal, cus he is. Anyway, treated like the lowest common denominator, when he took everything like a man, went to jail and served his time. And someone like Matt Jones can be smoking crack in his car, get caught and only be suspended 6 games. HE WAS SMOKING CRACK. HE should be out of the league for 2 years. If I had been found smoking crack, I would have been asked to step away from my job for more then six days. I think it is an easier lesson to teach a grown man or small children how to treat an animal, slash, pet, then it is to get them clean from crack. It's only my opinion, but then again I have never smoked crack or killed a do......so I haven't smoked crack.

NBA Playoffs

I will have to say this year has had some of the best series' as a whole in recent memory. Well, so long as the Magic and Cavs keep going the way they are. CUH RUNCH! Don't know what to think about lakers vs nugs just yet. But think back to days off old, Bulls Celtics (best ever), Magic redeeming victory over the Celtics, Rockets Lakers going an epic yet unentertaining game 7, and my fav the mavs ending the Texas hold of boring basketball (the spurs). Crossing the old fingers for an awesome finals of Kobe/LeBron or maybe Kobe/Howard, but definatly not Mello/Howard, that just might be a little to much of the new kids.

I'm calling it

The Blackhawks will win their series tonight against the Canucks. My only bit of scientific process with this is that I will be watching the game at the local brewery where I watched the last one. The only sad part is there won't be an open mic night for our rowdy table antics interfear with. There was nothing more strange to see then in the middle of a cover of the Eagles "take it easy" the 4 of us erupt in cheers for a late game tying goal. Anyway, hawks win 3-1 and go to the conference finals for the first time in, well a long time.

Manny is out cus he can't get it up

Manny has been suspended for 50 games for a banned substance. Turns out the substance was for erectile dysfunction and not steroids. Apparently 13-0 at home doesn't help, or $23 million a year won't do the trick, or all the home runs and rbis's one could ask for. I'm just guessing a smokin' hot wife is not cutting the mustard. To bad this had to happen to Manny, he couldn't be a better guy.


p.s. I hope this isn't a new instance of manny being manny.

Favre?

Brett Favre? Really?

The Vikes?

I know its not official... yet, but come on.

Ill be the first to say I am a Favre fan... or should I say was. The good old days of the Packers of the late 90's and 08' should stay in tact. You know when hail mary's we happening left and right and when Antonio Freeman was catching ridiculous catches. Yeah. Thats what Im talking about.

But now a days Favre is hangin around like a guy that you didnt invite to the party, but you are kinda friends with him because he helped you move that one time and he good buds with your friend Jerry but he wearing a half buttoned up hawiian shirt and has had a few too many drinks and has started hitting on your wife... yeah, Hes kinda like that.

Once was in his prime, but lets at least let the Tervaris Jackson's and Shawn King's of this world have a chance. (Well... maybe not the Shawn Kings.) I mean, look at Pac Man Jones... wait bad example. Ok, look at Shawn Alexander... again, bad example. The point is that we should go out with the old and in with the new.

Lets hope Favre is fishin in Mississippi the season, or he'll be fishin for some wins the season.

Final Thoughts

Well, in game 1 of the Magic Celtis series, Orlando won. This has brought up a huge debate in my mind. Do you route for the team that beat you in the playoffs, or against them. On one hand If you go down to the champs after taking them to the limit, there is some consolation, yes? On the other hand you want the team that crushed your dreams to go down a fiery fiery fiery fiery crash. When the Cubs get swept in the NLDS every year, I want the diamondbacks or whom ever to lose. BUT, when the Bulls would lose to the Pistons before the glory days, I wanted them to win. I don't know how to lean on this subject. I'm guessing it's a case by case basis, or if the opponent was worthy, then you have your answer.

For right now, I want Dwight Howard and the Magic to treat the Celtics like Michael Scott treats Toby, with total disgust and contempt.

Bulls Celtics Game 7 Preview

The greatest tragedy is that I won't be able to watch it. If this game is anything close to the others the series well be the greatest of all time. Sad part is it's a first rounder and not a conference of finals. Still I'm looking forward to getting a million texts tonight as an update to what is happening.

Predictions: 1) Rando gets hit by Miller before the game starts. Reason, They pass each other during warm-up layups.

2) Joakim Noah is still ugly

3) Paul Peirce has trouble understanding explanation of a foul......no wait that is his normal facial expression.

4) Bulls win in double OT, and my dreams come true. As the words from Kevin Garnett "Anything is possible."

Here's to hoping that my next post is about the awesome time I have watching the highlights.

Cubs In-Game Update

Ted, I always look like you killed my kitten, Lilly jut had a perfect game ruined by a bad call at first. It was close, very very close, but come on. The ump is letting an awesome pitching performance be broken up by Cameron Maybin, who on earth is Cameron Maybin.

Are you kidding me, anything is possible

Complete thoughts are not happening. Heart stopping and starting every 30 seconds. Life flashed before my eyes at least 14 times.

The Bulls are playing some good and bad baskeball, but are doing the impossible. And when I say impossible, I'm saying they are doing the samething as the Hawks did last years. Going to game 7 with the Celtics. And they are doing it Ugly.


I can't believe I am saying this but I like Ugly for the Bulls. Saving the game with 3.2 on the clock in 3OT. Pushing this, possibly the best series in the history of basketball, to a game seven. It has been a pleasure being a basketball fan, mostly the Bulls. Although I'm pretty sure the refs from time to time are trying to end things early, but the Bulls and the hustle award winning Ugly are saying otherwise.

I'm hoping KG doesn't pull a Willis Reed for game 7. My mother told me Stacie King was yapping about him coming back so the Celtics don't lose in 7.

a nice......punch to the face

I'm hoping the Bulls Celtics game this evening is as exciting as the last one. I get to watch the Celtics get away with everything, I love it. They can punch the ugly white guy, not Scalabrene, in the face, it's fantastic. For is says in the bible do not wrestler your neighbor. Now go away, read some books.

Hear ye, hear ye...

The moment you've all been waiting for.

Thats right. The 16 year drought has ended. A Kansas City Royal has finally graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. Not since the likes of David Cone in '93 have seen this.

And let me tell you... I am ecstatic. I'm happier than Charels Barkley at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Royals may not be super good right now, but this obviously shows we do have up and coming talent. Joakim Soria, Billy Butler, Alex Gordan and on and on. And when you add proven talent like Coco Crisp and Mike Jacobs the possibilities are endless.

Im not saying were gonna win the World Series this year... I'm screaming it.

Let the nay says say nay, but hear me out... It will be undefeated, unhinderd, undisputed glory in '09.

Well, I'm off to give Al Davis his meds. After looking at this year's draft its obvious that he's not taking them.

duces.

Beware fo SWINE FLU

Things are getting scary in America people. Swine flu is everywhere. Especially in the sports world. Please steer clear of John Kruk, Shawn Kemp, and Tony Siregusa. Contact of any of these products can be lethal.

13 years of frustration

The blackhawks won their first playoff series in 13 years, that is a huge weight off my shoulders. And by weight I mean, I'm happy for a team that I have been following for 2 years tops.

When it comes to my home town teams I always want them to win, except for the white sox. So the resurgent hawks smoking the flames, pun, was an instant breath of fresh air.

Here's to hockey, the sport I know nothing about, but want nothing more then to see some mulleted, freshly grown bearded men from Chicago lift up an oversized silver fruit bowl.

Mike Leach

Could there be a better guy in sports? I think not.
Mike Leach is a man after my own heart. ("you are my biggest fan")

Mike Leach was interviewed today about his boys who got and didn't get drafted this weekend.
He was upset that his boy Harrell didn't get drafted and that Michael "the soon to be eating the tiny Seahawks CB's alive" Crabtree fell to 10. All of his greatness today was directed toward those crappy Browns.

Here are few of the best quotes of maybe the year thus far.

"Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy as a coach at this point," Leach said of Mangini, according to media reports of a conference call.

Come on! That is one of the biggest slams of all time! Even more so because Mangini never even played in the NFL, he was just some video boy who sucked up enough to Bill Belichick to get into the league. That is something I need to do.

Alright another great slam from my new boy Leach
In referance to Cleveland calling Crabtree a diva -

"My definition of a diva is someone who's loud and self-absorbed," Leach told reporters. "Michael Crabtree is the furthest thing from loud that I've seen. ... Let's see how all those non-divas do up in Cleveland this year."

Mike Leach is the man, I just might become a Red Raider fan now.

Pujols: Man... or robot or something.

I mean really?

Lets just look at what he's done in a week.

9-for-19
3 HR
11 RBI

One HR was a grand slam, of which he has two so far this year.

I say, "Give me a break!"

He's either just this good or a robot or some kind of alien... and I think its the latter.

Maybe he's on some mission from a distant planet here to lull us into a state of awe and amazement.

Maybe a robot built by Wade Boggs.

Whatever the case maybe, keep an eye out for skin suits, tail's, or extra cans of WD-40 laying around Pujols. He may just be the next ruler of our planet... or NL MVP.

Ugly

Some say it was one of the best playoff games in recent history (Bulls vs Celtics). I say it was the hardest game to watch in recent history. Dare I say it, it has been the hardest 2 season to watch!
Why? One might ask (one, as in only one person will read this)
There is one simple reason the last two years of basketball have been the hardest to watch.

Joakim Noah
This guy is the ugliest person I have never met.
Basketball has lost rating points because of this guy at least 20 points, at least.
If I were David Stern I would send him packing to Europe ASAP Yesterday!!!!!

Get the ugly out!!!

T'Ron

time to go on a limb

So I am going to make my first prediction. Today in the 4th round with the 125th pick, the Falcons of Atlanta I believe, took Lawrence Sidbury. He helped lead the Richmond Spiders to their first national title in anything. Who are the Richmond Spiders you ask, I don't know. I do know that Montana couldn't stop Sidbury the whole game. We are talking the most winningest team in college football since 2000 allowed something like 35 sacks by one guy.

I see in the near future, under the tutelage of John Abraham, Lawrence will be a monster in the NFL. Feel free to print this out save it, frame it if I'm write and of course punch me in the face several times if I'm wrong.

Tuna out

Keepin' it real...

Oh hey. You have stumbled upon the greatest sports blogs of all time.

As Tuna said, I am a Kansas City guy. Maybe sprinkled in some other things too.

So, sit back, relax, get a nice frosty root beer, relax and sit back.

Duces.

Over paid

WOW!!!!! I hate Carlos Silva!!!!!!!!!!!!
We over paid for that guy 2 years ago and he has done nothing for us but give up run after run after run!!!!!

Anger!
T'Ron

Welcome

T'Ron here
What a great day in sports!
This is by far the best non football weekend of the year, with the NFL draft.
The Seahawks get 2 great players and end up swapping a 3rd and a 4th for a 1st in a round about way.

Anyways welcome to our great site of trinitarian sports, where we will bring it day in a day out.

Rock on
T'Ron

Welcome to the next step in sports blogging. Our hope is to give a very biased yet entertaining view on what is happening in the sports world, well at least our sports world. There are 3 of us, but there will be the occasional guest. Quick introductions around the room, I am Jim aka Big Tuna Chicago fan all the way around, but the white sox can eat it. Luke akaed Mr. Downtown, is a tried and true K.C guy, but likes the Titans for some odd reason. T-Ron, lives and dies Seattle, don't bring up the Sonics cus it still hurts.

We are sitting here enjoying the NFL draft. I wonder who the bigger losers are, us for sitting at home all day cowering from the sun or the guys that payed to go and dressed like actual patriots?

Anyway, we shall return and say more things.

Dueces
