Dale Earnhardt Racing, TAKE A SEAT!!!

There is a new Sherriff in town. His name is Randy Moss.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss is forming a NASCAR racing team. Moss Motorsports will be competing in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck series in the 2009 season. "We don't have all of the details in place just yet, but I am very excited about Moss Motorsports becoming a part of NASCAR," Moss said. "I am by nature a very competitive person, and this is an outlet for me to compete at another level."

Has anyone told Randy that they don't race Lincoln Navigators or Cadillac Escalades in NASCAR? Also is it me, or does the name Moss Motorsports just seem like a brand of seat covers you would find at K-Mart?

Although I think his run in NASCAR will be as successful as Motley Crue's Vince Neil's racing team, my hat is off to Randy and his new venture into NASCAR. Something like this is a lot better than pulling a Timothy Worley and having your constant run ins with the law.

TO in TrOuble?

Yes, Terrell Owens, that loud mouth, trash talking, ball dropping buffoon is in trouble again. The problem this time? He kept bonus money from the Philadelphia Eagles that he has been ordered to repay! Remember when he got suspended because of his behavior (I know, what a shocker, eh?) mid-way through 2005 and then released? He was ordered through arbitration to pay back $1.7 million in bonus money, but he's decided to keep nearly $770,000 of it for himself...so this time it looks like they are going to court. I guess since his play making abilities are slipping, he has to get bad publicity elsewhere.

Madden Curse? What Madden Curse?

This year EA Sports has decided to give the finger to anyone that believes in the Madden Curse. They have decided to put someone on the cover that the Madden Curse will not be able to touch. Someone, who in my opinion, should have been on there YEARS ago. April 25, 2008 EA Sports announced the new cover boy of its next iteration in its popular Madden series. The cover boy of Madden 2009 is.....Brett Favre.

Yup. I can hardly believe it either.

So what does this mean??? Is the Madden Curse broken? Yes and no. Players that have graced the cover of Madden have generally failed to reproduce their success of their previous years. Well Brett Farve being retired, he has nothing to worry about. However unless EA Sports is going to make retired players as their "cover boys", I can assure you the curse is now PISSED! Whoever EA Sports will choose as the the Madden 2010 "cover boy", is going to be FUCKED!

Frankly, I think Archie Manning has something to do with this. He made sure Eli Manning didn't get drafted to the San Diego Chargers, and for some reason Eli isn't the cover boy on Madden 09. DAMN YOU ARCHIE MANNING!

Seahawks cut Alexander. Alexander surprised.

Okay this is kind of old news. However since the Seahawks are my favorite team, I HAD to write about it.

Wednesday April 23, 2008 the Seattle Seahawks released former MVP running back Shaun Alexander. Two years prior to his release, he signed a $62 million contract become the franchise player.

Now gee, I wonder WHY he was cut. In 2005 he became the NFL MVP and a Super Bowl apperarence. Since then its been down hill. The last two seasons have been horrid in terms of performance and full of injuries for Alexander. In the last two years, he rushed for a around 1600 yards, compared to his 1690 yards rushed in 2004 then his 2005 MVP performance of 1880 yards.

I am actually surprised that the Seahawks kept him that long. Mike Holmgren and the rest of the Seahawks must have really liked him. Its not like they didn't give him a chance to improve. He had two full seasons!

Like George Michael, Shaun Alexander is making a come back! Well so he claims. "I will be playing for another NFL team this fall and doing everything I can to contribute," Alexander told the Associated Press. My guess is that will include passing out water to the player has he sits on the sidelines.

Will they ever learn?

Just because you are a celebrity you are not above the law. I'm talking about Kenton Keith and his run in with the law Sunday night. Apparently he was out clubbing at Cloud 9 in Indianapolis and decided that he didn't have to leave after the place closed at 3:00am like everyone else has to because...and I quote..."I'm a Colts player!" So, I have to ask...so what? You are a person that has been asked by authorities to leave the premise as is required by everyone, so leave already. But that's not all, as you'd expect, he claimed that he was innocent, however, the list of charges suggests otherwise. He was charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, public intoxication and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, because a man he brought to the club with him was 19.

But remember everyone, he's a Colts player so therefore he's innocent. Just like Michael Vick and OJ Simpson are innocent too.

Captain Oaf and his princess get married

Captain Oaf has gotten married! Proof that big dopey oafs CAN get hot women. Maybe he has a nice personality. Hmmm. Anyways Eli Manning and his HOT new wife, Abby McGrew, were married yesterday in Los Cabos, Mexico. I guess Eli won't have anymore nights like the picture below.

In any case, just remember Captain Oaf, DON'T PUT THE PUSSY ON A PEDESTAL! Congratulations Eli, break a leg. No, really....Break it!

Where are they now: Michael Westbrook

Michael Westbrook was the 4th pick from the Washington Redskins in the 1995 draft. Being in the NFL didn't really make Michael Westbrook happy, and for good reason too. The guy simply just had bad luck. He was injury prone, he only played one full 16 game season. The other seasons that weren't the complete seasons were very dismal ones, stat wise.

So what is he doing today? Fuck the NFL! Michael Westbrook has basically taken everything NFL-related out of his house and has concentrated on Mixed-Martial Arts. He currently holds a purple belt in Brazillian Jujitsu and hopes to earn his brown belt really soon. Michael also has the goal of achieving black belt within a couple years. Typically it takes about 10 years or so to become a black belt in Brazillian Jujitsu. DAMN!

Michael has already won national and Pan-Am championships. I was gonna say that he should have a try at the UFC and fight as a professional. Apparently he has already done that! He fought only one match in the UFC where he defeated former NFL player Jarrod Bunch.

Kudos to you Mr. Westbrook. You know sometimes the NFL isn't for everyone. You can be the shit in college, but just suck balls in the NFL. Glad to see that instead of going down hill, Michael Westbrook decided to turn things around and make things better for himself.

New NFL schedule is posted

The NFL has released the 2008 Season Schedule. You can view it by going here.

There will also be two games being played in Europe as well: October 26th Chargers vs Saints and another some time in December (which is to be determined).

Damn first they take away NFL Europe, then they pour salt in their wounds.

Since NFL Europe is gone, can we have NFL Japan? Oh come on, you can't tell me that seeing a bunch of little 5'5" tall Asian guys running around playing football wouldn't be entertaining.

There is room to build in Los Angeles?

Wait....There is actually room to build new things in Los Angeles? Where? Or shall I say, when did the city of Los Angeles extend out their city limits?

In any case, it appears that a private developer REALLY wants Los Angeles to have a NFL team again. Edward P Roski, who also is a part owner of the Kings and Lakers, has been pestering the NFL to bring a team back to Los Angeles. I guess guess being a multi-millionaire just doesn't cut it for him. On Thursday he unveiled a 75,000 seat stadium that will sit on 600 acres of already zoned land that he owns. This huge piece of land is about 20 miles outside of Los Angeles and is located around the southern intersection of the 57 and 60 freeways. Along with the stadium, he will build a shopping mall as well.

Now Mr. Roski says that this stadium will not cost tax payers ANY MONEY. Let me translate that for you....That Big Mac meal that you buy at your local McDonalds for $3.99, will cost $10.99 and for some reason the patty will be only half as small as the already tiny-ass patty on the Big Mac.

So if the politicians in the city of Los Angeles pulls the fingers out of their asses, they could have a new stadium time for the 2011 NFL season.

Now this is what sucks, the NFL has NO PLANS of expanding the NFL. That means that Los Angeles would have to convince a team to move to Los Angeles. Well there are plenty of cry baby teams out there that want a new stadium: New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think Los Angeles does need an NFL team again. It feels weird for them not too. I say bring back the Los Angeles Buccaneers. Who cares if there is already a team called the Buccaneers? And until they get their stadium, make them a "road only" team like the former Buccaneers. Also make their team's primary colors black. That way the hoodlums in Los Angeles can finally support their home team instead of the Raiders.

Former NFL Player tasered by the cops

A friend sent me an article and a clip of former NFL Player Timothy Worley getting tasered in Atlanta Georgia for a traffic stop. He was originally stopped for a DUI. Then among further investigation, he was charged with speeding, failure to maintain lane, driving with a suspended license and no proof of insurance. Yet despite this, he wasn't charged for resisting arrest. Nice. Worley is being held on other outstanding warrants.

This isn't the first time Worley had a run in with the law. In 1993 he was suspended in the NFL due to illegal drug use. Then in March 1994 he arrested in Illinois after a high-speed chase. He was charged with fleeing and eluding police, running a red light, speeding, driving with a suspended license and having no valid license.

You know, it really surprises me when people that have a natural talent and given a chance to get paid MILLIONS to use it and send their whole life into waste because they are stupid. Just because you are a celebrity of any kind or a pro athlete does not mean your invincible.

Based on the video, I think the police officers handled it fine. He was resisting arrest by refusing to be handcuffed. He snapped back in a threatening manner. Instead of the police nightsticks they could have used, the chose to use the taser. Something A LOT less lethal.

I'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds.

Bryant Gumbel leaves....No one cares.

Bryant Dumbell (that was a typo, but I am leaving it cause it made me laugh) has decided to leave his sports analyst position on the NFL Network. To a big surprise, no one cares.

Gumbel said in a statement, "I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to call NFL Network games the past two years, which was a new experience for me, but we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions."

What that translates to is, "Once again I have burnt bridges because I am conceited-ass. So I am going to leave the NFL Network before they actually fire me."

Time to start using protection

If the members of the Cleveland Browns would stop making out with each other, and learn to use protection, perhaps the staph infection that is currently running rampant for the last four years wouldn't even exist. According to Web M.D., staph infection is contracted by "casual contact". You naughty boys!

Wide Receiver Joe Jurevicius is the latest Cleveland Brown to have contracted the staph infection. Poor LeCharles Bentley is STILL trying return to the NFL from the staph infection he contracted back in 2006. The guy has been through THREE SURGERIES already!

Whatever the case may be, they need to have some medical experts look into this. Seriously. I really hope that no other of the Browns get infected with this, and that the ones that are battling this staph infection get a speedy recovery.

Hippies in the NFL (Update)

The proposed rule to no longer allow long hair in the NFL as reported by Philippe earlier has been tabled until the next owner's meeting. That means that Troy Polamalu (among other players) will be able to use their frilly pink ribbons for one more season. I bet he squeeled like a little nerd girl would if the captain of the football team were to ask her to a dance.

-MC-

P.S. Maybe we really will see something like this in the NFL this season...

Old news that still makes me laugh

Here's proof that I do have a sense of humor: The Oakland Raiders got excited about signing ex-49ers Kwame Harris to their offensive line. Now, one more time...the Raiders are excited about signing a player so bad that he wasn't even good enough to be a backup on the worst offensive line in the NFL. Since when did Art Shell find a sense of humor? Bet you'll laugh to yourself every time you see the Raiders take the field this season, I know I will.

Frerotte must have cockroach DNA

The Minnesota Vikings have signed antique QB Gus Frerotte for the 2008 season. Now, they signed him because Brooks Bollinger and Kelly Holcomb failed to be a good backup for Tarvaris Jackson. Who's surprised about this? I'm not. Minnesota released Holcomb (smart move). However, here's where it gets sad. They want to have more "polish" at the backup position and get them to push Jackson into fighting for his starting job. All together now...What the ?!? That's sad when a 14 year veteren who's last season was rated UNDER 60 is in the running for a starting position. That's like getting excited about Betty White doing a strip tease *shudder*. In all honesty, Minnesota could do better by using their #17 pick overall in the draft on a QB...any QB...even one still playing Pop Warner...than waste another season with such a lack luster QB depth chart. Hell, they might as well use all their picks as you can't get anywhere without a good field general...unless you're the New York Giants.

This actually surprises people?

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has been keeping in touch with Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick. According to Blank, Michael Vick has been playing football.

Well DUH what else do you think he is going to play? He can't do anything else. He obviously has no brain, and participated in dog fighting. Does this surprise anyone. Michael Vick also got a real job. He is a pot washer and makes 12 cents an hour. Its about time you did some real work Vick!
