Cheers to the Weekend

It's Friday, fuckers. This means it's NFL Divisional weekend.

First game up is Saints and Seahawks in Seattle. Although the NOLA defense looked solid last week against Chip Kelly's Eagles, I say Hawks get the dub here. Talk about the 12th man and the noise all ya want, or all ESPN wants. Russell Wilson's offense will outscore Drew Breese's because last week was a fluke. The Saints are a dome team with a soft defensive front 7. It will be a rough day on Bourbon Street this Saturday. The boys in Vegas give WhoDat a touchdown. I say Seattle wins and covers.

Indianapolis travels to Foxboro for the night game on Saturday, to play Tommy Brady's Pats who are favored by 7. Andy Luck made all the throws one would expect from a true franchise quarterback (Lions fans I'm talking to you) in last week's comeback for the ages. Unfortunately, his team is playing against Brady and Uncle Bill in Bobby Kraft's yard. Although it will be raining, the gametime temperature is predicted to be 52 degrees. Shove that up your polar vortex. Pats 35-21.

Sunday's first game features SanFran at Carolina. Harbaugh and Kaepernick looked unstoppable last week. Though it concerns me that Cam Newton can potentially break any game loose and run wild, I liked what I saw from the 9ers defense against discount double-check and company last week, and SanFran has a dynamic playmaker of their own behind center. Jimmy Harbaugh gets another road playoff win. Look for a big game from Vernon Davis. 

Sunday night, Kenny Wisenhunt will have one foot at Mile High and the other in Detroit. Vegas spots the Bolts 9.5 here. San Diego won the last time these two met, which was in Denver. The Chargers defense looked very sharp, especially on the perimeter, against the Bengals last week. Peyton Manning ain't loosing at home. Broncos win, but put your cash on Phillip Cry Me A Rivers to make it a close one.

Looks like we're headed for a Brady Vs. Manning AFC Title Game That would leave Boomer, and every other cheesedick on the set of Sunday NFL Countdown jizzing their pants.

And to the right is some Kate Upton sideboob action to make your day better than it was before you saw Kate Upton sideboob action.

Free Throws Free Throws Free Throws

Why is it that college basketball players struggle with free throws so much?  Sitting here watching my Michigan Wolverines go 3-9 from the stripe tonight makes me question what these guys do in practice.  What ever happened to the drill if ya make the free throw the team is done running, and if ya miss, more suicides?  It seems like in college basketball today it is good to shoot 70% from the line. These players make jump shots from outside the key with no problem and yet they can't make more than 60% of free throws.  We came away with the win tonight over the Cornhuskers, what a terrible mascot by the way, but I pains me to see that game be so close.  I still have nightmares from blowing the Indiana game last year.  You are being compensated tens of thousands of dollars to play the game, the least you could do is not blow the game on one of the easiest stages of the game.  Get your head out of your asses and get in the gym and work on it.

Bobby Petrino is an Idiot

Look at this cheesedick. Louisville is making a big mistake by bringing this idiot back to be the head ball coach. First of all, signing Petrino to a 7-year deal is stupid. This guy can't stay in one place. He says this is "a destination" job for him. Was head coach of the Atlanta Falcons not a destination job? Louisville might think Petrino is the answer to replace Chuckie Strong but I will not be surprised to hear the worldwide leader covering another scandal of his involving a mistress, or Bob leaving for some fucked up reason, (like his inability to succeed at Louisville), and leaving a note on the locker room door. Hey Cardinals fans, just because his name rhymes with Pitino don't mean he'll win. Wake up, stupid.To Petrino, I ask who would accept this job with Theodore Ballgame leaving? That's a losing proposition. But then again, what former SEC Big-Name guy would take a job at Western Kentucky?? They're called the damn Hilltoppers!!! 

Bob Kraft Just Gets It

Bobby fucking Kraft.  Dude just has life by the balls.  Look at this smoke show on his arm.  This broad probably is half his age.  Bob is just killing it.  Smoke show girlfriend..check, owner of best franchise in sports..check.  What else do you really need? Also can't even begin to imagine during bye weeks, the benders that Tom Brady and Bob go on.  Can you imagine the stories these two can tell?  Keep it up Bobby Kraft, keep it up.

3 words for this guy.... FOR THE BOYS

BCS MESS NO MORE, BOYS

Bidding Farewell to the BCS Era

With the BCS era coming to a dramatic close on Monday night, we now encounter a time of reflection. Though it seems like college football fans, and everyone on the set of College Gameday have been adamantly in favor of a playoff system instead of the BCS since 2007 or so, I always appreciated what the Bowl Championship Series brought to the table. I mean shit, I'll be sure to sit my grandkids down and explain to them what it was like to see Boise State's statue-of-liberty against Boomer Sooner on the projector screen at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was in honey-barbeque parmesan-garlic football heaven.

With that, I give you my favorite of each of the five bowls during the BCS Era.

Rose Bowl: My favorite Grandaddy Of Them All over the last sixteen years was the 2011 edition. Texas Christian, led by Andy Dalton completed a perfect season by knocking off Wisconsin, 21-19. Tank Carder had a hell of a game defensively for the Horned Frogs at the linebacker position, stymieing Montee Ball, and earning himself the title of defensive MVP.

Fiesta Bowl: This shouldn't even be a question for any football fan with half a brain. The 2007 Fiesta Bowl was the shining moment for all of the BCS, perhaps one of the top five sporting events I have ever witnessed. Boise State solidified their place among the nation's elite football programs of the decade by beating Bob Stoops' Oklahoma Sooners 43-42. Both teams combined for a total of 22 points scored in the remaining 1:26 of regulation. But more importantly, who could forget the best part of the night? Thank god she still said yes. Moron.

Sugar Bowl: The best Sugar Bowl of the BCS era came in Brady Joke's first year at the helm in Ann Arbor. Rich Rod's players shut down Logan Thomas and the Virginia Tech Hokies to win 23-20. Michigan fans across the country currently reminisce over the days of Denard Robinson as we speak-- and to think they used to say he couldn't pass for shit.

Orange Bowl: There's no doubt the 2004 Orange Bowl between The U and Bobby Bowden's 'Noles was fuckin awesome. The Hurricanes pulled out the 16-14 victory. To have an intrastate conference rivalry in postseason play is a special thing. The game lived up to the hype, and future NFL stars could be found all over the field. Safe to say things got a little rowdy in South Beach that night.

BCS National Championship Game:  It was great to see the Oregon Ducks finally get their chance under the bright lights in 2010, but the best Natty Champ game was the 2011 match-up between Saban's Tide and Mack Brown's 'Horns in Pasadena. As Colt McCoy was knocked out of the game in the first quarter with a shoulder injury (and would never be a good quarterback again), Alabama rolled over Texas 37-21. More importantly this game marked the beginning of a dynasty in Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban's team would become the best dynasty since Johnny Wooden's Bruins hoops squad in the damn 1960's. And, for all you New England/Tommy Brady slapdicks, the Crimson Tide dominated their competition more, and won the same number of titles in a shorter period of time. Conversation over.
