Football season wrap-up and NFL draft talk

Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip Pistol grip sideline, I'm pissed at myself, I should have known, I should have saw it, I fucking pouted, after the field goal got blocked, dropped my head, end of the season, poor me, poor us, should have kept the wits about, saw that that was happening, listened for the whistle, the whistle obviously wasn't blown, should have played it out to the whistle, pissed at myself, I will always remember that, put it in the back of the head, never let it happen again, and that's it, live and learn, they got us, they out coach us on some things, we play a lot of cover zero, a lot of man, bring the house in a lot of situations, they went empty formation, unbalanced empty, which I'm a proponent of, motioned that Z receiver all the way around, so there was nobody on the weak side, quarterback, sweep, 50-odd touchdown, hats off to them, they played well, I think they're gonna lose in the next round, the round after that, and I don't think they're gonna win the whole thing, but they beat us, finish up the season at nine and two, been in mourning, strong word, but coach's mourning, how about that, for the last, well, 48 hours roughly, never, so I've been drinking, I'm hammered, I'm not hammered, but, I've been drinking in the last few days, now I got a lot more time on my hands, but I tell you what, I'm pretty, I'm sick of the Friday night shit, I'm sick of Friday night football, it's too much, all the coaches, all the parents, administration, so as of right now, my plans are for next year, to coach the freshman team at my school, I like playing football during the day anyways, that's me, call me quarterback, I'm gonna win the game, I'm gonna win the game, so I tell you what, I've been drinking, I've beenobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobob And people And all the other drama That goes with it I like Saturday afternoon football That's me I like Saturday One o'clock You get up You eat You go play football game Maybe it's The memories of Well of course Where I'm from We didn't have lights They do now We didn't have lights But I like Saturday afternoons I like getting drunk After the game Start drinking at five o'clock Perfect Perfect for me Fucking Friday night You get out of there At ten thirty Eleven Stay up You're spending on the game You stay up Have a few beers Lament over the game Next thing you know It's one in the morning You gotta be up at seven For film and practice The next day Hunt over Forget it So I'm thinking I'm gonna go with freshman Freshman football Play on Thursday afternoons At three fifteen Perfect Got the weekends off Nobody scouts ya Nobody gets film on you So you can run the same Freaking plays all the time You can run the same trick play Every week And nobody knows what's going on There's no film study They don't know your tendencies And I get to call my own shots That's what I wanna do anyway Enough about me But that's it High school season over Before Thanksgiving Moving on around High school football Around the country This is a fun one Assistant coach in Tennessee Tennessee Tennessee Marion County One of the football coaches Spray painted their field house In graffiti Pretending That it was their rival high school South Pittsburgh High School Pretending that they spray painted Marion County sucks South Pittsburgh Seven wins in a row and counting All that stuff Classic football Like Richmond High technique Remember Spicoli busted up The Forest Whitaker's car There's Camaro Making it look like The proposing team did it Spray painted it all Went out there and tore it up I guess the guy must have been Watching Fast Times Thought that was gonna be An effective tactic Didn't work They found out it was The assistant coach And fired him What goes through a grown man's mind Doing something like that But you know I don't even think it's that rare It's just one of those things You know the internet Is out there now So everybody finds out I think people do that High school football is freaking crazy Oh well Part of it Living it Living the vida loca Another poll came out Sports Illustrated One of these Organizations Saying 40% of the American public Are for banning Tackle football From football Before high school Interesting to see How the demographic Played out on that Who exactly is Saying that However I don't think it's that far off I don't have a kid but I don't know I've said it before on the program I don't know if it's worth it You know Maybe 8th grade You know There's other things They can do Now With the flag Sure you don't know How to tackle it But like I've said before Tackling's an instinct You can either tackle Or you don't You want to stick your head in there You're willing to Put your body on the line For lack of a better term Or not You're the toughie or not You're learning how to tackle Yeah there's things you can do There's certain drills But You just watch some of the things Some of the things on the internet Some little 7 year old kid Just getting Going head to head Because they do that all the time Because they don't know how to tackle Because they don't know any better And a lot of A lot of these freaking coaches Encourage it So yeah Count me in that 40% I don't think you want to ban it I just think you want to limit it Of course Pop Warner Just came out and said Participation in Pop Warner Has dropped 10% In the last 2 years In Pop Warner And youth football in general 7% in the last Year Of course those numbers Are a little bit skewed Because Pop Warner Was at a record high In 2010 So You know I don't think There's a major Disconnect here I think people Are still playing football Like I said before People always play football I just Think things are changing Hey Hey look All these guys All these ex-players A lot of players Coming out with CTE I don't think Pop Warner And all that causes it But it's a cumulative effect Who the hell knows I don't think Pop Warner Is going to find out Who knows what they're Going to find out Enough of the high school game I don't know What am I talking about It seems like every year Earlier and earlier People can declare Signing letters of Intent This past week Deshaun Handy The number one recruit In the nation Out of Virginia Woodbridge Virginia Just signed with Alabama Rich get richer I don't You know What do you blame these kids You just Know as long as Saban's There at Alabama They're going to be In the national title hunt No questions asked So they're going to end up with Shit five Six of the top twenty I guess he spurned Michigan If your goal is to play For a national championship Alabama or Michigan It's a no brainer The weather Alabama's warm For the most part Especially compared to Michigan Tradition just doesn't carry The weight It's just Once carried In this generation But good Alabama don't Don't start changing Uniforms every week But number one Rivals.com So it made me think I started looking at Some of the number one Rivals.com Which is the Yahoo Sports thing Which You know It's big business Making money off Seventeen year old kids Going through the list Of the last Ten years Of the rivals Number one Dot com Robert And Kim DG Watched him play A little bit for Ole Miss Stud player D end I think you see a lot of these D ends Cause you get these Free kids These 6'6 6'7 Long wingspan Track type kids That can make some of these Fat boy Old linemen Just look stupid So I think I think it's easier To see Hey He's a D end He freaking beats everybody I think it's a position That you can really Stand out easily Just physically You're more gifted So I think I think it's a position That you can really Just physically You're more gifted I think it's a position That you can really 2012 Doriel Green Beckham Haven't seen him really play For Missouri Watched Missouri play a little bit Wide receiver's doing some things Clowney 2011 We all know the Clowney story Of course I think you're gonna see Clowney playing D tackle In the NFL Ronald Powell Another D end From out here Out in Moreno Valley Rancho Verde The end of Florida Even though Florida's Really struggling But He's Supposedly he's got some numbers Bryce Brown Running back I want to say Watched his play today For the Eagles Went to Tennessee And then transferred To Kansas State But only played like Two games for Kansas State I don't know what his deal was Or Kansas rather I don't know One of the two Kansas State I think Drafted by the Eagles In the seventh round Legitimate talent I think running backs like that You get those kids And you know I think you can find those kids Like I've said before I think you want less mileage On those running backs And you know You know what I mean If the kid shows a talent And who knows what happened I think the less mileage Is better with a running back Terrell Pryor 2008 Who's hurt right now But I have a tremendous respect For Terrell Pryor Talk about the Raiders In a bit And Matty McGloin Another guy I have respect for That would be a perfect situation To run a two QB system With Pryor and McGloin They're set up for it I'm hoping Mark Davis And his Prince Valium From Spaceballs haircut Is going to be a good guy Is listening to the program Which I'm sure he is And they could take Terrell Pryor And McGloin And interchange those two freaking guys And keep Pryor on the field For you know Certain things Let him run some routes I'm sure he can He's a freak athlete I digress 2007 Jimmy Claussen Guy I coached against Never panned out in the pros I think he's unemployed right now You know they say Like Petrus Petrus Papadopoulos Whatever He's a good announcer I like Petrus Petrus and money But Jimmy Claussen Small hands The hands thing Is a big thing in the NFL The more you look into it Never panned out in the NFL 2006 Percy Harvin Played today They get a big kick return 58 yard kick return Freak athlete Sometimes those freak athletes Are delicate though You know they got so many Fast twitch muscles And They're put together so well They're delicate A fine watch if you will Very delicate Not a bruiser 2005 Derrick Williams A kid I knew Kid I worked with Great kid Worked with him at Penn State In 2005 Remember when he came in First day 6 a.m. It was a senior in high school Essentially Graduated early Him and Jordan Norwood Jordan Norwood's brother Plays for Baylor right now Both of those kids came in Jordan Norwood played Plays in the NFL I don't know if he's still In the NFL I should look that up But he's been playing in the NFL Remember both those kids came in And I couldn't believe it I looked at these guys And like In my first You know Working with D1 recruits If you will Big time D1 recruits At least Derrick was And they were weaker than Dishwater Both of them But they could friggin Run like hell 2004 Adrian Peterson We all know that story 2003 Ernie Sims Linebacker in the NFL right now Is he still playing for the Lions? Not sure In 2002 Vinci I don't know I don't know Another guy I think Could be used correctly So it's just It's an interesting list Definitely Mostly hits Mostly guys that at least Get in the league And you know Have done some things It's an interesting list As time goes on Because they keep track Of this stuff more and more Who's the number one recruit Year in and year out Moving on to the college game Always like to start off The college game With the signs Game day signs Now that we're out We're out of the playoffs I get to stay in on Saturday morning And watch a little college game day I like Lee Corso He's an institution Lee Corso Picked USC In the upset And he was absolutely right And he got bloodied In that sword battle With Kirk Herbstreet Some of the signs In game day though Bring back LA Rams football Hear hear We need to get some people on here That's the off season project Now that I'm done with the season That is the off season project Get some people Who want to bring football Professional football Back to LA It's got to be a grassroots movement Got to make it happen Of course this was at USC A lot of Jonathan Martin hating it It took me a couple minutes Because I'm not that bright To figure out why We're playing Stanford There you go Jonathan Martin sits When he pees I sit when I pee too sometimes Who doesn't? Martin whines more Than Taylor Swift He was at the game too Jonathan Martin But I don't want to talk about Richie Incognito And Jonathan Martin I beat that to death Everybody's beat that Beaten that to death Who does Brent have? Big picture of Brent Musburger It's amazing what people get into Because college game day Starts at 9pm Eastern And as you all know That's 6p 6a Excuse me 9am Eastern 6am Eastern West Pacific Standard Time These freaking fools Getting out there with their signs Staying up all night Just to get their signs Put on TV It's great though It is funny And I love the college game day It's one of the few things in ESPN I really enjoy One of the few Of course 30 for 30 Is not bad either But I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it Georgia and Auburn What a way to lose A freaking football game Poor Georgia Just not had Just not had the year That was a ridiculous Hail Mary One in a million play Don't want to get into Recaps of the games too much Talk a little bit more about Happenings in NCAA football Johnny Rogers 1972 Heisman Trophy winner I didn't even know this He's seeking a pardon For his conviction Of an armed robbery Of a gas station When he was a freshman He's seeking a pardon Armed robbery As a freshman This is rational Now Oh I've done so many Good things since Okay Great Johnny Armed robbery As a freshman You know 70s are a different planet How do you get away With armed robbery And two years later Win the Heisman I just don't think That happens anymore I think if a guy Gets caught for Armed robbery now He goes to jail For you know Four or five years Comes out And tries to make himself A player through Some kind of combine Or what have you But he just slips right back in and goes right back to Nebraska. 70s, different world. They let people get away with a lot of shit in the 70s. Like I talked about way back when Ernie Holmes, Ernie Fat Holmes from the Steelers, the guy was shooting at policemen and played that same year and like same time period, 70, 71. He's looking for a pardon. I don't think he should get it. He should be lucky that he, he should be thankful that he ended up with the career that he had. Mike Leach, a freaking weirdo. I read Mike Leach's autobiography, the weirdo, but it's something he never talked about in the autobiography. I guess in the middle of a game a few years back at Texas Tech, he felt like his team was getting screwed by the referees. He pulled out his cell phone in the middle of the game, called the Big 12 commissioner during the middle of the game to bitch him out about the referees. Poor form, Mike Leach. Wait till after the game. Keep your shit together. Hasn't done anything at Washington State yet. Yet. Of course, the Pac-12 is hard to turn around. Let's get the uniforms of the week. You know, you're competing with Oregon down the road. Good luck with that. Sip of my beer. Moving right along. Talk a little bit about, oh, Jameis Winston. Cues of sexual battery, 2012. I, look, the girl said that he was involved and claimed he was a black man with straight hair from 5'9 to 5'11. Well, Jameis Winston is a black man, but he does not have straight hair and they list him at 6'4. So I don't know what the deal is with that. You haven't heard that much about it. But I'm a believer. Look, I don't know. It's my own. I don't own any of theobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobobob was on the Kobe Bryant defense team. Now, I happen to agree with Howard Stern beforehand. I think Kobe Bryant's situation in Colorado, I think it was consensual for the first eight inches. But what my friend told me, no reason to lie to me, is that Kobe forced anal sex on her. Now, you know, I think it was consensual up until that point. But my point is, with a smoke, there's fire. Otherwise, you would see an athlete be accused every day. Or every other day, you know? Someone just trying to... And plus, this is before Jameis Winston was famous Jameis Winston. I don't know. Who knows? Now, you know, it's pretty irresponsible for me to say that, but who knows? Boy, would it... I think he's a lock for the Heisman right now. God, and part of me wants to see some kind of suspension so Johnny Manziel can take it over. I said it! I missed Johnny this weekend. I thought they were playing this weekend, and I found out Saturday morning, or during the week, that LSU-Texas A&M is next weekend. I'm fiending for Johnny. Although, I really think the best... I think the guy who should win the Heisman right now, is Marcus Mariota. Are you kidding me? 34 touchdowns, no interceptions. Ridiculous completion percentage. I think Mariota should win it. But for some reason, the pundits, the powers that be, have Winston number one. He's deserving. The guy plays well. Speaking of which, I'm going to... It's a segue. I'm going to dip into the twit bag right here. At Telly Two Putts, my boy, Capri Bibbs, is top back in college football right now. Can we get him some Heisman love? Well, I am not going to lie to you. I really wasn't keeping track of who Capri Bibbs is. But I went back and looked at it, and what... Hell yeah, that guy's freaking tearing it up. The only knock on him, two things. One, it's a political game. Colorado State is not... in that realm of national prominence where these writers vote on it. They only care about the top, the marquee teams, if you will. But this Capri Bibbs, he's freaking tearing it up. He had six touchdowns yesterday and 291 yards. He's up around 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns, which is leading the nation. Now, the scandalous part of it is he's not even nominated for the Doak Waka Award, which is given annually to the best writer, running back. Now, that is some bullshit. Can I get on board of a Heisman? Yeah, in a perfect world. But I will get on board in the Doak Waka Award. You're joking. This guy's having a tremendous year. It's not his fault he plays for Colorado State, which is a school that should turn it around. Colorado, same thing. You would think those teams could find a way. Colorado State hasn't been that relevant in a number of years. But good for Mr. Bibbs. Call me Mr. Bibbs. Andre Williams as well from B.C. having a huge year. 1,800 yards. Leading the nation in rushing. Just want to throw that one out as well. Giving some B.C. Eagles some credit. Moving on to the college game. Anything else everyone is... Oh, Ed O. Are you kidding me? There's no way they can get rid of Ed O at this point. Now, they might not make him the head coach, but the next guy that comes in will make him the associate head coach. Kudos to him. Turn it around. Though he's had some material to work with. But fine. He's a play-ins coach. That's what they want nowadays. You're disciplinarians. Screw it. That's out the window. You're Greg Shianos, although they had another win today. Big deal. Over Atlanta, whom I picked to go to the Super Bowl. Oh. USC 20, Stanford 17. Stanford. Calling two timeouts in the first drive of the game. Oh, boy. I tell you, that was one of... You know, the Coliseum gets rocking. I've been there for a few games. Not an SC fan, not an SC hater. Kind of ambivalent towards them. But I tell you what, the Coliseum, the SC fans are legitimate. They are passionate. They're as passionate as you'll find other than the Deep South because that's all they have. But they have a passionate fan base. Good for SC. Good win. Good for Ed O. I was watching the game. Dr. Dre donated $70 million freaking dollars to USC. Kind of start some school. Him and Jimmy Iovine, some other rap impresario. Some kind of academy for arts, technology, and business innovations. $70 million? Does SC really need $70 million? $70 million? I've spoken my piece on academics, and academia, and how it's a scam. I don't think there's a better way to spend your money. Shit. You could fix up the neighborhoods in the area. Buy up all those properties, and make them nice, and rent them back cheap to the people in the area. $70 million to come up with a school, business, technology innovation. We all know that anybody that's really, truly innovative doesn't go to these freaking colleges anyways, or they drop out. You know? You know, anybody with... You bring a kid in with great SAT scores and good grades, big deal. Doesn't mean he's an innovator. I digress. $70 million, Dr. Dre. You even go to college? If he did, he would understand that it's a scam. It's a money-making scam. How much of that money is going to go to the kids anyway? Last college note. Cartel Brooks out of Heddleburg College. Special 465 yards, which is an NCAA record. Okay. And versus Baldwin Wallace. Kudos to him. Pro game. Let's get into it. First and foremost, I want to talk about the passing of the great Todd Christensen. Tight end for the Oakland Raiders, Oakland slash LA Raiders. Tied at 57 on the operating table from a liver transplant. The ironic thing is the freaking poor bastard was a moron. Never drank a day in his life. He had some kind of liver ailment. Died on the operating table. Todd Christensen is the type of guy that makes you re-examine your own life. As I sit around and watch college football in my underwear and drink beer all day. The guy was a... Led the NFL in receptions twice. Two-time Super Bowl champion. Four-year starter at BYU. Okay, that's just the football part of it. After football, he was the number one heptathlete for his age group in the world. Heptathlon is like 60 meters long. It's like a decathlon except decathlon light. Top decathlete in the world, age 45 plus. After he graduated, or excuse me, after he retired from the Raiders, was asked to try out for both the A's and the Angels. And the guy was in his mid-30s. They asked him to try out. And in the classic Al Davis reclamation project, he's a running back at BYU. Four-year starter, running back. Drafted by the Cowboys. Made him a... Tried to make him a tight end. He balked at it. Didn't want to play tight end. So they cut him. Or traded him to the Giants. Giants turned around, tried to make him a tight end. Wouldn't do it. Cut him. Here comes Al Davis and his Machiavellian skill. Cock Todd Christensen. And being a tight end. And he should be a Hall of Fame tight end. Five consecutive... But changed the way the position was played, I thought. Or, I shouldn't say changed, but, you know, made it a sexy, if you will, position. Guy made, you know, 90 plus catches a few years in a row. After that, he was an accomplished tennis singer. Guy played Captain Von Trapp in an off-Broadway production of The Sound of Music. He was... Host of American Gladiators for a few years in the early 90s. Remember that. Guest starred on Married with Children as well. He's one of those guys that just makes... Makes you question what you do with your life. Too bad. 57 years old. Todd Christensen. Moving on. On the opposite end of the spectrum. Sam Hurd. Sentenced to 15 years in prison for trying to broke a massive marijuana deal. He was... Had something set up where he was getting 50 kilos a week, which the police said was going to put three tons of weed in the city of Chicago a year. They were seeking life imprisonment, which was bullshit. I mean, really, life imprisonment. But he ended up getting 15 years. But he was holier than thou. He prayed before every meal. His mother was the head of the booster club at his high school. How the hell do you turn on all the people who helped you get to where you get to? Just to sell drugs. You're making $3-4 million a year. Tell you though, guys freaking love to smoke weed in the NFL. These players love to smoke weed. I will not be surprised as the years go on, they start turning a blind eye to it. Sam Hurd said he thought half of all players in the NFL smoked weed. Shit, just the other day, Dwayne Bowe, star receiver for the Chiefs, was caught with a half ounce, in his car, was driving erratically, with an expired driver's license, license and expired car insurance. Asked the cop, where the near, the cop pulled him over, found the weed, and he said, oh, is the nearest Sonic open? Like the scene in Groundhog Day, when they get caught, when they get caught, uh, in Groundhog Day, get caught drunk driving, and it's like, hey, too early, you know, ordering flapjacks. I'm rambling. Anyway, why is a guy fucking driving around with weed, is my point. And then there was an article in Glant, Grantland, which is all right, but those fricking articles are way too long. You know, who has time at work to, to go through a 20 page article, about Tyronn Matthew, and how he turned his, made this tragic story, how he turned his life around. I mean, the guy was fucking smoking weed, for Christ's sake. All right. So he can give up a little bit of the herb, plus these, they have ways to get around the test. They're so dramatic about it. Oh, he'll get caught again. Guarantee you Tyronn Matthew will get caught again. I don't, hey, just legalize it. Right? Just freaking, moving on guys, we'll get away with shit. How about Gronk again? Gronkowski, after I talked about him last week, ad nauseam. This week he was hosting some kind of party as well. Asian guy. He said something about, oh, go cook us some fried rice or something. And he called him Leslie Chow, which was, which was the character from, from the hangover. As soon as he got done saying it, one of his handlers or something was like, oh, we confiscated all cell phones, right? Well, evidently they didn't because it made its way onto the internet. Gronk being Gronk once again, getting away with it. Imagine if he was up at a, party that he hosted that he was drinking. And he was, talking about, oh, some black guy comes up, oh, get some fried chicken and watermelon. Maybe, a national story. He'd be suspended. Ah, it's just the Asians. Screw it. Ha ha. We all like to laugh at them. Oh, Gronk, just being Gronk. Oh, some people are just Teflon. Things don't stick to them. Moving on in the pro game. Ed Reed signed with the jets cut after calling out question, questioning, coaching from the Texans cut, sign with the jets. I wish I had a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, signed with the jets. I wish the Patriots assigned him. Ed Reed, one of the all time greats. Didn't get no chance to watch him play today. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually makes something happen though. Although the jets being the jets again, this week come out and stall, do nothing and getting blown out. Where's Buffalo Gino Smith, eight or 23, the good Gino or the badge, you know, I don't know jets model of inconsistency this year. Still thinks sexy wrecks. He's doing all right. I read a good article about Tom Zbikowski Former free safety For the Baltimore Ravens Played for a few years Starred at Notre Dame Said before games Every game he would have four scotch And four Guinness before every game The night before Said of the 64 games he played in the NFL He said at least 12 of them he was hung over Still played Huh Like that's better than smoking weed the night before games I can never do it Guys like that Come from stronger stock Than I do I guess I had one game in my life I tried to play hung over My freshman year at WPI They had a I was rushing a frat Sigma Phi Epsilon Yeah I'm a member So I guess Anyway night before Ended up with some guys who didn't play football Though most of frat did Yeah Pounded beers Ended up getting wicked drunk Night before the game Game comes We're in like a little tunnel area Coming out Puked all over myself All down the front of my jersey Was actually playing kickoff that game Special teams coach looked at me He's like what the frick is wrong with you He's like you hung over I'm like yeah Get out of here My grandma was at that game and everything Puked all over me And I just Washed it off That was it That was the only time I even Even tried to do something like that I can't do that It's not my Not made that way Zbikowski evidently could Imagine if that was weed That'd be a big story Zbikowski Out of the NFL Trying to become a pro fighter He's fought a few fights Just tougher than someone like me Trent Richardson This week I'm going to be a pro fighter Because there's a sex tape There's a sex tape with Trent Richardson With three women being peddled around The Twittersphere if you will Made a sex tape and Evidently they said he has a lot in common With the team's mascot If you know what I mean Unlike a horse That's surprising Peddling a sex tape Good for you Trent I think this is going to go down As one of the most lopsided Trades It all depends on who the Colts end up with Who they end up shipping off To the Browns What else do we got before I get into the games Brian Holloway A story I talked about Former offensive tackle for the Patriots Back in the 80's His house was destroyed by a bunch of kids They ended up being on social media All this One of those lengthy articles In Grantland I read But the interesting thing he said to me I don't want to rehash that story The funny thing I thought Was he was saying that If you don't know the story The Patriots Owners The Sullivan family Financed the Jackson family victory tour In the mid 80's They took a bath on it Ended up losing Millions and millions It's the reason they had to end up Selling the team But Evidently at some point Michael Jackson Got the team as collateral Collateral type thing He was owed some money From the tour And He was like I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know Evidently he He had ownership of the team At some brief period Brian Holloway claims He was told by the late Will McDonough Who I think was kind of a storyteller In his own right That Michael Jackson At the time of the Super Bowl Had ownership of the team And had a ton of money on the Bears And directed the coaching staff To throw the ball Brian Holloway believes this Because they came out Throwing the ball At the beginning of the game No freaking way Michael Jackson probably Didn't even know Who the Patriots were Brian Holloway is batshit crazy If you ever hear him talk I digress That's a good one though I didn't know Michael Jackson Actually owned the Patriots You know I grew up a Patriot fan I knew the whole victory story But Alright Let's get into some of the games If you will Before I dive into the Twitbag How about the Raiders McGloin Matt McGloin Good story Looked great today For a first time start Guy threw three touchdowns And guys been battling His whole life Nothing but uphill battle He's a two time state Champion quarterback In Pennsylvania In Pennsylvania High school football Is no joke You know like he was Two time state champion In Rhode Island All you know All state quarterback All state point guard All state baseball player But had to be a walk on At Penn State Ended up playing For four years On and off Started in the last couple Played really well last year Maybe a half year Al Davis Classic Al Davis type guy Right there In the spirit of Al Davis Someone that was looked over Somebody he dusted off Took it out of the scrap heap A la Jim Plunkett A la Rich Gannon A la George Blanda People that they didn't want It's probably the same thing I mean they talked about You use those two together At the same time Raiders were good They were actually enjoyable To watch Beat Houston today 28-23 I don't know Andre Johnson A little spat with Matt Shaw At the end of the game Tell you what though Houston's doing a good job To lose They need to lose If they go out And get themselves A legitimate stud quarterback Marcus Mariota Jameis Winston I think he's eligible To come out this year Teddy They got Teddy Could easily Be set up For the next 10 years To be a contender Because they have pieces Andre Johnson asked After the game If he was happy He said He said I'm under contract Hmm Talked about Buffalo Philly, Washington Watched a little bit Of that game Of course ESPN Made a big deal About this week How Daryl Green Came out and questioned Robert Griffin RG3's Leadership ability That was the lead story On like Thursday Daryl Green Questions RG3's Leadership ability You fucking kidding me RG3 is in the pantheon Of You are Barry Bonds Terrell Owens ESPN loves to push That agenda Like that's a story Questions Leadership The guy's a second year Player So he's not the leader Of the team But he had his moments Through a terrible Just lofted up In the end zone Third down In the game Lost in the game Another funny story Came out of this game Trent Williams EO lineman For the Raiders Said one of the referees Called him a garbage ass Motherfucker He said He said He said He said He said He said He said He said He said He said He said!!! I tell you, referees would be some ornery freaking pricks. I'm telling you, I try to kill them with kindness on this island, but there's some ornery freaking dudes. There's something about referees in general. There were a ton of flags this week in our game, but I don't want to bitch about the officiating, although I think it's a little bit too late, but they just call some shit. You know, the real arrogant ones are the ones that get the big games because they're self-promoters. It's a self-promoting business. You know what I mean? The quiet ones, the guys who don't throw a lot of flags, whom I like, let the game go, let the kids play it. But it's these holier-than-thou, you know, self-promoting referees that throw the flag at anything they freaking even think. Change games. I'll tell you, we had two huge holding calls this week, which I didn't see reviewing the film. I didn't see it. I'd tell you if I saw it. Nothing. These referees, they think they're freaking called Trent Williams a garbage-ass motherfucker. I'm sure you wouldn't call him that at the bar. Pittsburgh 37, Detroit 27. Forget Detroit and Matt Stafford and Terry Bradshaw calling Matt Stafford the best quarterback in football. Okay. Tampa, two in a row. Tampa two-step. 41-28 over my Falcons. It's got to get Mike Smith. Mike Smith fired, right? It's another team. You know, they're going to end up with a good pick. A good pick. They got some pieces in place. You know, they could easily, and I think this year is just an abnormality. It's like similar to the Red Sox, not to change gears, but there's no way the Red Sox were that bad last year. So as you take that over time, they're going to start winning games again. That makes sense. Look out for Atlanta next year, but I think they're going to fire, what's the guy's name? Mike Smith. Mike Smith. Show those creepy frigging NFL on the bus videos with a creep. He looked like a frigging pederast, pedophile. I'm sure he's not. I'm sure he's a nice guy. It's not like this NFL play 60 thing's gone away. No, I haven't seen many commercials about it. Arizona Jacksonville, who cares? Arizona 27, Jacksonville 14. The only reason I bring it up is Jason Babin ripping out a huge dread out of Andre Allenton's head. And held it up like he frigging had the Predator's head in his hand. Chicago 23, Baltimore 20 after an hour and a half tornado delay or something. I like the Bears throwback unis much better than the Steelers throwback unis. The Bears throwback unis are classy. They should adopt that as their regular uniform. What else in the pro game? Oh, it's the field. Today. They threw it out the 45th anniversary of the Heidi game, which is the AFL. And I'm reading a book about the AFL. And I'm going to go into at length about the AFL when the season's over. And I need to come out here and fill some time. But the Heidi game. So the Raiders Jets, who he heated AFL rivals 1968. The games used to only take two and a half hours back then. It's funny how they add on an hour now. There's anything to do with sponsorship. There's nothing to do with commercials. I think it probably has something to do with it. But the game went three hours, which was rare evidently back then. And they went. NBC ended up going to Heidi, which is a movie. Raiders ended up with an epic comeback. Scored two touchdowns in under a minute to win the game. Went up winning by 11 points. Today's the 45th anniversary. They love those media type love. The announcer type love to throw that one out. AFL had all types of. Crazy stuff. There was a Patriot. You can find it on YouTube. The Boston Patriots in 61, 62, something like that. A fan on a goal line play. I forget who it was against. A fan sneaks onto the field. Real, you know, incognito. Like, words change. But, you know, he sneaks onto the field. And he sneaks in like a linebacker. Makes a tremendous play at the goal line on a quick slant. And knocks it down. Nobody says a word. Game over. Patriots win. It was like a different planet back in the 60s. AFL. A lot of stuff in the AFL. More happened in the nine years in the AFL than the history of the NFL. Do a show about that. What else do we got as we're winding down? Jumping in the twit bag. At Stuart Scott's Eye. Great name. A lot of talk about the deep QB class coming out. But who are the top guys you think is most likely to be an NFL bust? Fair question. Of course, I'm never claimed to be a prognosticator. That's why I don't gamble. When I do gamble, I don't gamble very well. But who are you looking at as the top guys you're looking at? Teddy Bridgewater. Johnny Manziel. Jameis Winston. Bryce Petty at Baylor. Baylor's freaking tearing it up. Marcus Mariota. Sean Mannion at Oregon State. Because A.J. McCarron, Aaron Murray. I guess those are your guys that might be missing one. Well, like I said, the best defensive coordinator is an offensive coordinator. You know, it all depends on what system they get into. However, as much as it pains me to say, because he's going to be put under a microscope, I think that potentially... The most likely guy to answer your question to be a bust might be Johnny Football. Two reasons. One, they might not use him correctly. They might not let him get out and do his, you know, get out and move the pocket and run. And two, he seems to be a little injury prone. Similar thing to Ajay 3. I think he's a better football player than Robert Griffin. I really do. I've watched them both at the college. I just think to something about Manziel. I think he's a... I think he's a... I think he's a better playmaker than Ajay 3. But I think Manziel could very easily end up not succeeding. I do think he'll have his moments at some point. If he stays healthy, it's always a big if. Take that for granted. I think he'll have his moments. I don't think he'll have a long, illustrious career. I hope I'm wrong. Winston, I think, is going to be good. Although he has a hitch in his throat. But I'm, you know, not... Not, you know, the scout. I would have to watch that. I think Mariota's stud. I think Mariota's the guy that's going to be... Can't miss. Can't miss prospect, I think. He's accurate. He can throw. He makes quick decisions. I like Ajay. I think Ajay McCarron's a good player. I like Aaron Murray. You know, I think these are guys, if they get shots down the road, a solid NFL quarterback. It's a great draft. It's a good question. What else do we got? What do you at? What... Hold on. I don't get the name. I'll read the question and I'll give it credit. What do you think about the NFL saying it'll look at quarterback safety again in the offseason? What more can they possibly do? That's from at Ryan Healy. At Ryan Healy. I agree. It's my sentiment exactly. When I heard that the NFL is going to look at protecting the quarterbacks again, what more can they do? You know, the classic line is, Oh, put... Skirts on him. It's kind of funny. But what else are they going to do? You can't hit them high. Your hand comes near their head. It's a penalty. You can't really hit them low. You know, they get out of the pocket. I don't... I think that's the... I don't think it's a concern for the NFL right now. It shouldn't be a concern. I still don't understand why they don't make guys wear mouthpieces. You know? I don't... Let it play out. It's part of the game. Injury is a part of the game. Of course, you don't want to see anybody get hurt. It's part of it. It's what happens, you know? It's a survival aspect. Come out on top. What else are they possibly going to do? What else do I got before I leave you? Oh, I was reading some things about cheerleaders. You know, even though I... Well, I'll tread lightly. I don't want to say anything too disparaging about cheerleaders. I don't want to say anything too disparaging about cheerleaders. Only team in the National Football League, the American Football League, I'm having too much AFL on my head. Only team with male cheerleaders. Baltimore Ravens. I didn't know that one. Hmm. Why would you want male cheerleaders? I don't know why male cheerleaders... I might have said this before, but I always think it's funny. Why would you want to be a male cheerleader? But they're always like ripped guys. They're always like gymnast-looking guys. I guess. I guess. They got a big handful of ass. They're like in Saturdays. And I'm the one calling them names, watching them, but they're the ones with the handful of... Phyllis from The Office was a Cardinal cheerleader. St. Louis Cardinal cheerleader back in the day. I'll get you some pictures on the internet of her. Maybe that's well-known knowledge at this point, but quite a young Philly back in the 60s. The average pay per game for a cheerleader. Is between $70 and $150 per game. That's a freaking pittance. Like substitute teaching pay, which should be high, by the way, because substitute teaching is a terrible freaking job. You could hazard pay for substitute teaching. But $70, $70 and $150 per game for a cheerleader. And the first official cheerleading squad in the NFL was the Baltimore Colts. And I'm not even a team anymore. I don't even know why I need to talk about it. Last but not least, I'll leave you with the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford. I'm sure you've been reading about it. Smoking crack. The other day, he said, oh, I did not say, I don't know, I guess it was an aide or something. He said that he wanted to eat her pussy. He said, I did not say I want to eat a woman's pussy. I got plenty of pussy at home. Guy says this in the middle of a bunch of reports, quarters. Only reason I bring it up in relation, he had Toronto Wagonauts shirt on. Toronto Wagonauts came out and bashed him for wearing it. I don't know if you saw the, he had a interview before he was talking about his smoking crack. Oh yeah, I was just drunk, smoking crack. But he had an NFL tie on from like the 1990s, from the mid 90s. This guy's probably the biggest press conference of his life. And he's rocking a 1993 tie. He had Jacksonville Jaguars on it. Jacksonville Jaguars logo that they actually never used. So they dated it back to the 90s. He's rocking the Toronto Wagonaut jersey. Good for Rob Ford. I don't know why I bring that up, but he's obviously a football fan. Maybe I can get him on the show sometime. Come in here and smoke some, drink some beers and get silly and smoke some crack together. Oh, before I leave, top five in college football this week, Bama, Florida State, Baylor at three, Ohio State at four, Oregon at five. This is the year where the shit seems like it's going to hit the fan and the BCS. And I'll talk about this in another episode. The BCS actually has kind of done its job. It has been a bridge to a playoff. Got to give it some credit, but I think the shit's going to hit the fan because of those four teams. It is very hard to figure out which one of those four teams. Obviously, Bam is going to be in it, but Baylor's putting up 63 points a game. Florida State's making everybody look foolish other than BC and Ohio State is running the table and beating people handily. It'd be interesting. This is the year where shit may hit the fan. Got to give it up though to Duke. First time they've been in the top 25 since 1994. Hats off to David Cutliffe. Actually looked like a team made Miami look stupid, but Miami makes themselves look stupid. We think Duke, we'll be able to get like North Carolina. I would think you would, you would get enough crossover guys and the school's cool enough. And I think these smart schools, if you will, is, you know, I think it's easier than people think to recruit there because as we evolve as a society, smarter kids are also going to be bigger kids because it's good gene pools. I digress. Enough is enough. I'm going to go watch Kansas City, Denver. Have no idea who's winning. Follow us at Hyde Yards LA on Twitter. Follow us at Hyde Yards LA at Vine and Gmail on the coach. I will see you next week. Lay it up. Outro Music
