The Godfather of Sports

Congratulations! You've made it through the first round of holiday bull s*&^! Now, just buckle up for 29 days of Pre-Christmas... then Post-Christmas. Then New Years were everyone will post memes about "What Happened to 2017?" and joke about "How they are still single" or some Kermit the Frog meme with him in a blanket saying something about how they're going to stay like this all year... I don't know. And then you're going to get that BS gym membership, stop drinking every night and eat better. Fast forward to January 17th and you have gone to the gym a grand total of 6 times, your floor is littered with beer cans and pizza boxes, and the thing you are most proud of is that 5k you 'ran/walked *puked* ran.  Yikes... lets get back on track. This weekend has a ton of games that will make or break a lot of team's season. You can still rebound from 4-6, not 4-7. Just look at the Chargers ; they maybe one of the most dangerous 5-6 teams I ...

Sadly, there won't be any 'on ice' portion of this because I don't want to break my face and/or ass. However, there will be some solid football chit and also football chat this Thanksgiving. Let us start by looking back at some fun things that have happened in recent years...  Of course I would be insane if I didn't mention the Mark Sanchez Butt Fumble. Sort of a one play synopsis of the New York Jets . And even after he was run out of town you best believe the Bills were more than happy to let Rex (insert foot fetish joke here, it's early and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.) I also remember in 2006 when the Buccaneers were playing the Cowboys . Not a memorable game for most, as the Cowboys swept the poop deck with the Bucs. BUT, this was the first game I remember being yelled at for "watching the game too aggressively" by multiple family members.  Interesting side note! In Thanksgiving games the NFC South seems to be the most snubbed out o...

Plus 90 cool points if you actually got the Dave Chappelle/Tupac joke. If you haven't seen it, pull it up on Youtube and watch a jumpy, low quality version of it that looks like it was recorded during an earthquake. *Anyhoodles* It's Week 10 in the NFL and the league is still a royal cluster f&^%. If the regular season ended last week this is how it would look: AFC: #1 Pitt , #2 Pats , #3 KC , #4 Tenn with Jacksonville and Buffalo taking the wild card spots! TIMEOUT! The Jags haven't made the playoffs since 2007 when Jay Fiedler was running the offense. But, even wilder the Bills haven't made the playoffs since 1999! When QB Doug Flutie was connecting with receiver Andre Reed. Interesting fact about that 99' Bills roster is that 87% of the starters were drafted BY the Bills. (Back when they knew how to do that)    NFC: #1 Philly , #2 Saints , #3 Minn , #4 Rams with Seattle and Carolina taking the wild card spots. The (now LA) Rams haven'...

And just like that it's Week 11 in college football. F*%^ that was fast! Upside, this weekend has a great slate of games.... how generic... *Take 2* Upside, the weekend has some real smash mouth football... ugh. What am I Madden 2001?  *Take 3* Upside, there are tons of games this weekend that will kick your respective d*&% in! (That's more like it) And it's nice to see some programs like Georgia , Miami , and Wisconsin  back in the Top 10 and have the Duke of college football, Ohio State , at #13! It was hard to pick just three games because pretty much any ranked matchup this weekend is worth a watch.  1. #1 Georgia [-2.5] (9-0) at #10 Auburn (7-2) 3:30pm CBS - Georgia and Miami can thank the football gods for finally being matched with the right head coach. ANY Bulldog fan will tell you how happy they are to have Kirby Smart on the sidelines. Now, also like Miami, the Bulldogs are taking flack for who they played. They have a big win over Notre Dame ...

I woke up this early this morning, as I normally do, drank 70 cups of coffee, as I normally do, and sat down to break down a few NFL games, as I normally do. But, this week I had trouble finding three games that most people gave a s*&^ about. The Pats , Steelers , Vikings , Chargers , Bears and Browns are all on their bye. The Colts are playing the Texans in a back up QB matchup of who gives a f^%$. The Jaguars will devour the Bengals. The Rams will mop the floor with what is left of the GMen . Maybe there would be a story if Jimmy Garoppolo, in his first start in San Fran, was playing a Cardinals team with Carson Palmer under center. But no. It's either Blaine Gabbert or Drew Stanton starting for the Cards, yikes.  *Cracks knuckles* Let me break it down like this. The NFL is watched by eeerrbody when the all star players are playing or it's "your team" on TV. It's watched by some when a handful of franchise players go down or it's an under .500 p...

75 degrees and sunny never gets old in early November! (Looking at you Central NY) And you know what else is still hot? College football baby! It's Week 10 and there are a bunch of games this Saturday that will blow your f&*^ing mind. *Turns on Hateful 8* Neat choice right? And don't get that confused with that royal Netflix trash heap "The Ridiculous 6." What's that? Yet another Adam Sandler nosedive of a movie that he made so that Jon Lovitz, Rob Schneider and David Spade can get a pay check.  *Paging late 1980's  terrible  SNL Cast to the Burn Unit*    1. #7 Penn State [-9.5] (7-1) at #24 Michigan State (6-2) 12pm FOX-  We all know I am going to talk about Heisman frontrunner and Penn State junior stud, Saquon Barkley. A 230lb running back that has 801yds and 9TD rushing, 471yds and 3TD receiving, and 16yds and 1TD passing. Most impressive are his yards on 1st and 10. The opposing defense knows where the offense flows through, it's G...
