Save it for the Locker Room
I think A-Rod is a little too excited over winning his first pennant, don’t you? What happened to the old pat on the butt – A-Rod looks like he’s about to manhandle Jeter’s rear end. But if you are a Yankees fan, you have to like the intensity and focus in A-Rod’s eyes. It looks like he is ready to play this postseason.
Yeah – This Seems Realistic
I wonder how much World Series tickets are going to cost?
Dante Wesley is Doing His Best Troy Polamalu Impersonation
Wesley lowers the boom on Clifton Smith – unfortunately the hit is a penalty and totally bush league. And it earned him a 1-game suspension. At least he made all the highlight reels right.
When you don’t have a stretcher available…
So did they buy the door ahead of time or just rip it off the locker room when the guy got hurt?
Another Home Shopping Center Mishap
Nice sweater vest. This is why grownups shouldn’t have a WII.
kids these days…
By the way, this kid is nine years old. His name is Oliver Wahlstrom, and he plays for the Portland Junior Pirate Pee-Wee Major 97s – where he plays on the 12-year-olds’ team.
It’s shots like these that make me think that stupid Reebok commercial might actually be legitimate:
When Did Rednecks Learn to Rap?
I don’t know what is scarier, the Turkey rap itself, or the fact that this could easily be my brother in law – doing both parts.
This is Why Fat People Don’t Skateboard
You’d think this guy has seen enough youtube videos to know a guy his size should be nowhere near a skateboard – unless his goal is to provide hilarious entertainment to everone else. All I can think of when watching this video is the Office Wedding episode when Andy says “Did someone change my name to Baskin Robbins – cuz I feel like a banana split” and then proceeded to land on his keys and tear his scrotum.
Week 6 College Football Picks
The college football season has flown by – we’re already in week 6. After another subpar performance last week leaves me at 16-18-2 on the season. This is a huge weekend in the SEC with some great matchups. Lets turn it around and get some wins this weekend. Pics are italicized.
1. UGA (+1) @ Tennessee. I was really surprised with the maligned Bulldog defense last week against LSU. The defense will look to improve on its ranking this week against a horrible Tennessee offense. The Bulldog offense will need to step it up this game after a poor showing last week against a solid Volunteer defense. This game will be ugly, but the Bulldogs win in a close one.
2. Auburn (-3) @ Arkansas. If you like offense – this is going to be a fun game. Auburn is looking a lot better than most people expected this year and is playing very balanced on offense while playing their usual stout defense. Arkansas can score a lot of points, but their defense has been shaky. This is going to be a shootout with Auburn pulling off a close one.
3. Alabama (-5) @ Ole Miss. Alabama has played really well this season on both sides of the ball and I feel like they should be ranked #1. Jevan Snead has struggled so far this year throwing a a handful of interceptions. That being said – this game is going to be a lot closer than people think. Snead will throw a costly pick late in the game and Bama just barely covers.
4. Wisconsin (+15 1/2) @ Ohio State. The spread is way too big in this game. Ohio State has done well against the middle of the road teams in the Big 10, but Wisconsin will be a big test for them. They will be able to control the ball with the running game and move the chains, while limiting the Buckeye offense. Look for this to be a close game with the Badgers potentially winning the game.
5. Ga. Tech (+3) @ Florida State. I know Tech has never won a game in Tallahassee – but after all the stuff that has gone on this week with the boosters calling for Bowden to resign and the inconsisten play – you can’t pick the Seminoles. Tech has been playing really well on offense the past few weeks and will be able to run the ball all over the Seminole defense while their tough D will keep Christian Ponder frustrated all game. Look for Tech to win this game and keep FSU winless in conference and at home against FBS opponents.
6. Florida (-8) @ LSU. The question everyone is asking is will Tebow play. Regardless if he plays – this game is all about the Gator defense. They will finally have their breakout game this season and whoever is under center for the Gators will be able to keep the pressure on the Tiger defense all game long. Look for a close game for 3 quarters before Florida goes up by two scores late to seal it.
7. Michigan (+8) @ Iowa. Tate Forcier and Michigan have been a big surprise this season as have the Hawkeyes. Iowa has played some bad games against their lesser opponents, but has stepped up in the big games. This will be a close game coming down to the last play. If Iowa wins it, they do not cover.
8. Oregon (-3 1/2) @ UCLA. The Ducks have bounced back nicely from their opening night debacle against Boise State. UCLA has been a nice surprise this season and has played solid defense while the offense has been doing just enough to get them some wins. However – Oregon will have too much offense for the Bruins and cover.
