It's no secret -- I'm a fan of the Friday Night Lights television show.

And NCAA 09 is my game of choice.

Chances are good you are with me on at least one of those 2 statements.

So with this-- I took my first foray into the Create-A-Prospect realm entering my third year of my C-USA dynasty (Memphis) by creating as close of approximations of the following characters on ... Read More

For those of us without DirecTV -- not only do we lose out on the NFL Gameday package and its accoutrements -- but we've had to wait an extra season for the return of hands down the best show on television: Friday Night Lights. If you're not up to date -- go ahead and head to NBC for free streams of the last 2 seasons, or even through NETFLIX on your 360 (which to tell the truth is where I re-watched the entire ...

The Cleveland Browns select

LeBron James, Tight End, St. Vincent-St. Marys, Akron, Ohio.



The 21 year old "King James" is a 6′9″, 270 lb tight end with 4.4 40. James has spent some time away from football playing professional "basketball" (in some league called the "NBA") to ... Read More

So yeah, yesterday was my birthday.

Judging by the outpouring of chalkboard messages, you all were a bit preoccupied by the amazingness that is the holidays (aka NFL Playoofs and College Bowl Season), and I can't say I blame you.

And just like King James can't get a win on his, I guess we all have to deal with the double edged sword of being Capricorns.

On the plus side, a Capricorn ... Read More

Did he catch this one? Chances are about 55%, according to "stats"

Ok, so if you're at all paying attention the NFL this year, you know this:
The Cleveland Browns are having a rough season

Like really rough.

How rough?

Let's recap:
  • Hometown hero LaCharles Bentley sued the team, we went 0-4 in the preseason, and wore sh!t-brown spandex running

The usual ones: wife, baby, work, bands.

More gaming planned for the Holidays, and more writing to go along with it.

Plenty to talk about: Madden season ended (recap catch-up), Memphis is bowl eligible in my C-USA Dynasty, Kerry Wood is the motherf*cking man and the Yankees can spend all the money they want to fall on their faces in September, the Feast of Saint Nicholas, oh, and a little thing called ...

Sword Fight!

Yesterday afternoon, our beloved BQ10 was getting his lumps.

It has happened to the best of them:

Peyton.

Elway.

Even Sipe.

Notice anything in common?

Yeah, a lot:
  • Cold days in November
  • Rookie QBs*
  • Completion percentages below the .500 mark
  • Multiple interceptions.

It's all there.

Having 2 first names isn't as cool if one of them is a girl's name. Just Saying.

As promised, here's the blow by blow of the text message marathon between me and my friend Casey Kulas (from WKNR) as we watched the MNF debacle last night:

9:20 pm
(End of 1st quarter, 6-0, Browns lead)

9:22 pm
V99: I guess it could be worse. Could.
KC: Brady

Jerome Harrison, AKA the second coming.

Let's get this straight: the Cleveland Browns won. I'm not denying that.

Yes they won. That is a fact. Technically.

Here are other so-called "facts":
1) Brady Quinn is 1-1 as a starter in the NFL.
2) Romeo Crennel can potentially bounce back from an 0-4 start to end up at .500
3) the Browns defense is at +100 in takeaways.
4) Jamal Lewis

Doug Jones was slow.

Jose Mesa was fat.

Bob Wickman was fatter. (And Slower)

Keith Folke was retired.

Joe Borowski was on 'roids. And slower still.

So let's just go ahead and admit it -- the Cleveland Indians could go out and sign just about anyone to be their "back of the bullpen help." If we've learned anything though -- it's ... Read More

Ok, so I grew up in Akron-Canton Ohio. Close enough to Cleveland to care, but too far away to really know exactly what was going on up in the "big city." Road trips to ball games weren't really on my parents' agendas (with the 4 other kids and school and union strikes and job losses and all that -- ah, the 80's, thanks Reagan-omics), and 56 miles is a long way to ride a BMX with ...
