Is anyone else annoyed by the runaway hairdo that lives underneath Peko’s helmet? I want so bad for someone to go bananas with some clippers on the furry beast that has set up camp on his head. I’m serious that I’m more than willing to pay any takers. Anyone game?

The 5-2 Steelers roll into Denver this evening to take on the 6-1 Broncos. The Steelers are coming off a bye while the Broncos are licking their wounds from a blowout loss to the Ravens. I think the Broncos were exposed last Sunday and I expect the Steelers to take them out. Good luck!

The Upsets Keep Rolling On in the NFL
November 8, 2009 by
After going 4-1 in college football yesterday we are going to try and get out of the NFL funk we have been in recently.
Atlanta -9.5 v Washington
Atlanta is struggling to find an identity and consistency while Washington is trying to just win a game. The Falcons are coming back home after getting beat the last 2 weeks in Dallas and on Monday night at New Orleans. The Falcons are banged up on both sides of the ball and are in a short week while Washington is coming off a bye. We all know about Washington and the shenanigans going on there, but the Redskin D is not the issue. They are 2-5 and have lost by an average of 6 points which says they are in all the games.
I am betting Washington +9.5 on the road
Jacksonville -7 v KC Chiefs
Last time we saw KC they were at home getting manhandled by San Diego which we know means Whales Vagina. Anyway, Jacksonville got beat up by the Titans last week for their first win of the year. Jacksonville has given up over 30+ pts per game in their losses and the wins aren’t that good either. KC is bad and if you count preseason are 1-10 for the year. They did pick up a definite need at WR by signing Chris Chambers from the waiver wire and he will help Duane Bowe get open plus with LJ benched for this game Jamal Charles and Kolbe Smith will carry the load. The Jags will counter with MJD and Mike Sims-Walker but you never know what you get with Sims-Walker. Look for Cassell to throw against the bad pass defense of JVille and make this game a close one.
I am betting KC to cover +7 on the road
Houston +8 v Colts
The Colts defense is in a hospital ward as they have now lost Bob Sanders (only played 50% of games since 2004), Tyjuan Hagler, and Marlin Jackson for the year. This week Indy doesn’t have the services of Adam Vinatieri and Kelvin Hayden plus they may not have Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon or Donald Brown. Houston did lose Owen Daniels last week for the year who has been a big part of the offense so they will need to rely on Kevin Walter, Andre Jackson and the 3 headed RB monster in Slaton, Moats and Brown. The Houston D had a rough start, particularly against the run, and allowed an NFL-worst 205 yards rushing a game in the first three games. They’ve turned it around since then, giving up about 58 yards a game through their last five. Although the Colts have beaten the Texans 14-15 times and they have the MVP at the half way point in Peyton Manning they can’t play defense so the Colts will be upset in their own house. With a win they go 6-3 for the first time in their franchise history.
I am betting the Texans to cover +8 on the road.

The undefeated New Orleans Saints are hosting the Atlanta Falcons for a Monday Night Football battle and it’s also a divisional tilt. The Saints have been piling up points at a record pace and I don’t see that stopping tonight in front of a national TV audience.

Dan Snyder=Kim Jong Il
October 28, 2009 by
Sorry, but you asked for it Mr. Snyder.
Snyder has single handedly destroyed a storied program. I am a die hard Redskins fan for 35 years but you know what….Snyder needs to go. Unfortunately he can’t be fired.
The legions of dedicated ‘Skins fans had already started calling for his head but after the horrific show on Monday Night Football, Snyder better hire extra security and ask President Obama for the keys to Air Force One so he can make a quick getaway when the mobs come a knocking.
And now in his infinite wisdom Snyder had security take, destroy, confiscate any and all posters/banners that were in or coming in to FedEx Field. According to USAToday.com:
“Scores of angry fans took to Twitter, blogs, e-mails and message boards on Tuesday to assail Snyder and protest what they considered unfair and repressive tactics by security at FedEx Field to prevent criticism of the team owner.”
The policy concerning Banners read as follows about a month ago (according to Dan Steinberg at the www.washingtonpost.com):
“Banners:
Banners are permitted at FedEx Field; however, Guests may not display banners that advertise or mention products or services. Banners may not cover existing FedEx Field equipment or signage. Signs may not be made with metal or wood. Management reserves the right to remove any sign, including those deemed to be obscene, inappropriate or which obstructs the view of other Guests. For the safety of all Guests, banner poles are not permitted.”
But now reads:
“Banners:
Banners of any size are not permitted at FedEx Field.”
This sign was brought into the game Monday:
“Five security guards came down at halftime looking for [it],” Jennifer, the sign’s creator, e-mailed Dan Steinberg on Tuesday. “Everyone in the section played dumb, including the ticket guy for our section.”
Give me a break Snyder!
No one has to agree with your methods of running the team (G57…BINGO!!!) or how much money you spend trying to win a Super Bowl with players that should be collecting social security (Come on in Bruce Smith).
But this is simply crazy. You want to squash the first amendment in “your” stadium which puts you on the same playing field as Kim Jong Il. And in our nation’s capital nonetheless.
And one last thing…you may own this team…but without your fan base you have nothing.
-One Pissed off Fan!!!!

Another week is almost done, but before it is we have a grudge match between the Eagles and Redskins. The Eagles are coming off a horrible loss to the Raiders on the road and the Skins lost to the lowly Chiefs at home last week. Everything points to an under in the game, but I think Washington opens things up and the Eagles get back on track.

Top 10 Reasons Dan Snyder Sux as an NFL Owner
October 26, 2009 by
The Washington Redskins organization is in shambles these days when you consider everything going on, but in all reality is has been bad for quite some time. Dan Snyder doesn’t have a clue on how to run a team yet he continues to meddle in all aspects of the Skins. Here is our top ten list of why Dan Snyder is a joke as a NFL owner.
#10
Looks up to Al Davis, figuratively and literally.
#9
The $55 million dollar contract inked with DeAngelo Hall.
#8
Thinks the draft is a waste of time because you can always throw away millions of dollars in free agency.
#7
He thinks someone who was recently calling bingo games would make an excellent coach to call plays for the team.
#6
Six coaches in ten years.
#5
Uses a Ouija board to make personnel decisions.
#4
Thinks the garden gnome from Travelocity would make a great pulling guard.
#3
Albert Haynesworth’s $100 million contract.
#2
69-84 since the 2000 season.
#1
Is convinced Usain Bolt is the Jamaican Jerry Rice.

Chris White Getting Pissy With It
October 21, 2009 by
Chris White a backup offensive lineman for the Houston Texans had a bit of a problem this past week during their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The issue was Chris had to go #1 very very bad. Owen Daniels said, “He couldn’t hold it, I guess.” “He didn’t want to play uncomfortable is what he said. I guess he had to go.” White was starting in place for Mike Brisel and he didn’t want to leave the field so he did the only thing he thought would make sense. You got to do what you got to do in order to make plays,” White said. “I just did what I had to do to try to make a play.”
Top 10 Reasons Why T.O. is Having a Bad Season
October 19, 2009 by
After six games playing with the Buffalo Bills Terrell Owens has put up some less than stellar numbers. T.O. has 15 receptions for 215 yards which accounts for less than 36 yards a game plus he only has one touchdown. Everyone except Terrell knew he was declining in talent, but I don’t think we knew it would get this bad this quick.
Here are the top ten reasons why T.O. feels his season has gone awrie.
#10
Don’t ask me, I just run the plays they call.
#9
My reality show distracted my offseason focus.
#8:
You can’t expect me to catch passes if they don’t throw the ball to me twenty times a game.
#7:
Trent Edwards? Really?
#6:
I should still be in Dallas. I was great in Dallas. Jerry Jones said so.
#5:
It’s very very cold in Buffalo.
#4:
I miss Jeff Garcia…err I mean Donovan McNabb…err I mean Tony Romo.
#3:
Going over the middle is highly overrated.
#2:
The popcorn in Buffalo isn’t the same for some reason.
#1:
My hyperbaric chamber got lost between the move from Dallas to Buffalo.
