The NFL Low Down Week #3

Can someone tell me the definition of overrated or underrated?
If you listen to the media, I think they define those terms by who they like or get along with. I believe they base who is overrated or underrated by the market they play in & the amount of publicity they receive. I hear all the time how Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of our generation. His leadership and knowledge of the game is second to none. On the other hand, you look at Tony Romo & he is often the poster child for BUFFOONARY & the All Over-rated team. I believe there are a lot of factors that go into determining how your career is viewed. Simply looking at highlights on Sports Center is not enough.
Peyton Manning was drafted #1 overall by the Colts in 1998. His first four years in the league he was a 2 time pro bowler, compiled a record of 32-32 & more importantly....he was 0-2 in the playoffs (the big games, you know when the pressure is on the most). His QB rating during this time was 85.17 & he threw for 111 TDS, 81 INTS, 16,418 YDS. For those keeping score: HE WAS A .500 QB WHO THREW 20 INTS A SEASON!!! Overrated or underrated? Remember he was the fucking #1 pick in the draft.
Tony Romo was an undrafted walk on who played his way into a 3rd string spot on the Cowboys roster in 2003. No press conference, no limo to pick him up & no signing bonus. In his first four years Romo was a 3x pro bowler, compiled a record of 40-18 & he was 1-3 in the playoffs. His QB rating was 95.4 (3RD ALL TIME) & he threw for 108 TDS, 55 INTS, 15,327 YDS. For those of you keeping score: He wins 69% of the time, averages a little less than 1 INT a game & completes 64% of his passes. Based off of that....who did you think is overrated and who do you think is underrated?
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Romo is better. I'm just saying that at the end of the day Tony is a helluva QB, who is vastly misjudged, because of the uniform he puts on. If Tony Romo played for the Chiefs or the Jaguars they would building statues of his ass. People in those cities would be naming their sons after him & offering up their virgin daughters to him for marriage. The only thing Tony has done wrong is playing for the Dallas Cowboys & believing that he would be allowed to grow like any other undrafted player would. MOTHERFUCKERS, HE WAS NOT DRAFTED! THAT MEANS THAT EVERY FUCKING TEAM IN THE NFL SAID "YOU KNOW WHAT TONY, YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO EVEN BE 3RD STRING & CARRY A CLIPBOARD ON MY SIDELINES! Peyton throws for a gazillion yards every year, does all that pre snap bull shit, gets one of the top 2 seeds every year & has only one Superbowl to show for it. Imagine if Kobe never won a ring without Shaq. They would still be calling him overrated. Tom Brady for my money is the best thing going. But to me he is vastly underrated with his 3 Superbowl rings & his status as a 6th round pick, because all of America keeps putting Peyton over him. The year he finally got his props, he didn't even win (18-0 season)....Go figure! All I am saying is, undrafted players can never be overrated....but #1 picks with tons of records & 1 Superbowl to show for it can. Now on to the Lowdown.


THINGS THAT I LEARNED IN WEEK 3:

As far as the eyeball test is concerned...Mike Vick looks better than ever. He is like Demi Moore. We keep telling ourselves there is no way, but our eyes are not deceiving us.

Anquan Bouldin AKA THE DIFFERENCE MAKER is delivering as advertised & just ask Arizona if they miss his ass.

I learned that if you don't have a superstar on your team that has your back & buys into your philosophy, when the going gets tough, you will get tuned out & become a statistic real quick.

The media is made up of clowns who don't really believe half of what they say. They are now saying that Chicago is overrated and Jay Cutler is a fraud. At 3-0 we should all be so bad.

I learned that THE PERFORMANCE ENHANCER Rex Ryan knows talent and how to motivate it. LT is running physically & Sanchez is looking decent. Braylon is even catching the ball.

I learned that calling a timeout before a kicker kicks is a bad thing especially when your name is Sean Payton. Call a timeout & your team just blocked the kick? WHAT THE FUCK?!


UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS:

I do believe that you can lead by example in some sports, but you can't get away with it while playing QB in the NFL. I was talking to my boy Brad Piff the other day & the topic of leadership came up. We were talking about the end of the Charger/Seahawk game where Rivers threw a pick to end the game. His body language after the game was that of a pissed off mofo who was sick & tired of being sick & tired. He was yelling, pointing & if you had just tuned in, you would have sworn that someone else on the team had just fucked up. Because of his demonstrative manner & his I don't give a fuck attitude, he is never blamed for his teams misfortune even when he has something to do with it. His teammates never complain to the media about their lack of touches or anything related to Rivers. That's leadership. Eli Manning on the other hand had similar numbers to Rivers & his team loss just like Rivers except he was blamed for it. The media was talking about how the Giants lack a true leader & that this would have never happened if Strahan was there. The Cowboys loss in week #1 to the Deadskins & on the last play of the game Romo threw what we all thought was the winning TD. Wrong!!! A holding penalty was called & Romo was blamed for coming up short again. This type of shit never happens to Peyton or Brady because their teammates know better. Jump offsides or get called for a holding penalty that cost Peyton or Brady the game. Forget the coach...your ass belongs to them. I once saw Brady headbutt one of his lineman after a good block. That shit got me pumped up! What lineman wouldn't want to block for his ass? Whenever Larry Allen or Erik Williams fucked up, Troy Aikman let them hear it! And those lineman are Hall of Famers. If Romo yells at his line, gets in Roy Willaims face & tells him to get open, demands that his team plays together & smarter....Guess what? They do because the QB is the unquestioned leader of the team. The owner pays you & can't afford to replace you. The head coach needs you support & therefore will back you. If Eli & Tony ever learn anything about being a QB, it should be this. If your team does not respect you as their leader, they will disrespect you & let you get blaimed for all that is wrong with the team, even if it is not your fault.


HIGH FIVE

1) STEELERS 3-0 I COULD START FOR THEM AND THEY WOULD STILL WIN
2) SAINTS 2-1 ONE OT LOSS DOES NOT DEFINE A TEAM
3) RAVENS 2-1 CUT THE DEFENSE SOME SLACK
4) JETS 2-1 GAINING MOMENTUM
5) COLTS 2-1 CONSISTENTLY GOOD


BUFFOON OF THE WEEK:



Bishop Eddie Long. Are you fucking serious?! I'm not even going to get into you cheating on your wife, that's your business. But let me ask you one question. You do live in Atlanta, Georgia right? Home of some of the phatest ass in the world, right? Let me see...there is Magic City & Strokers just to name a few of the establishments that showcase the most physically blessed vixens that I have ever laid my eyes on. Yet instead of chicks like Shaneka Adams & Maliah....you look at the anatomy of some 16 /17 year old boys & say to yourself..."I got to have me some of that?!" Bitch, have you lost your mind?! Even George Michaels sweet ass said, "I DON'T KNOW BOUT THAT CHOICE."

I'm not even trying to figure out the mindset or logic behind your actions. Cause when your a grown ass man & you live in Atlanta...FUCKING WITH BOYS ain't a motherfucking option!!! Your choosing the Bo makes you BUFFOON OF THE WEEK. Once again, Are you are out your fucking mind?! ALL THAT SCATTERED ASS WALKING AROUND ATLANTA & YOU GOT TO FUCK WITH THE BOYS?! I THROW MY ARMS UP!!!!!


I'M OUT LIKE HUMAN DECENCY!!!!!!!

The NFL Low Down Week #2

When it comes to who should be starting QB in Philadelphia, what the hell is the fuss about? Are you fuckin' serious?! Did you see "Corn on the Kolb" in week 1 playing as expected...like a guy who was feeling the pressure of not only replacing McNabb, but of having to play in front of those merciless, heartless & down right despicable Philly fans? Granted it was only one half & he could very well go on to have a decent career, but he ain't better than Michael Vick pre or post incarceration. Michael Vick is a once in a lifetime talent that gives you a chance of winning every week. His talents are special and unique. He is not your typical pocket passing QB like a Brady or Manning, but then again...they are not the play makers he is. Vick will never dazzle you with his ability to read defenses or stand in the pocket & complete pass after pass. But what he will do is make a mediocre line look effective & give defensive coordinators lots of sleepless nights trying to game-plan him. Critics that have a problem with Vick starting are either delusional or they are letting their personal feelings about Vick cloud what little judgement they supposedly have. Is Vick going to have a bad game? Sure he is, but let's see if there is going to be a public outcry of support for Charlie Batch or Dennis Dixon to remain starter when Big Ben returns. No one complained about giving Tavarus Jackson his shot when Brett was brought in off the street. I'm not turning this into a race thing. I'm just saying.......................

THINGS THAT I LEARNED IN WEEK 2:

MR. IGROMO was wrong and I can admit. I apologize for doubting your skills and putting another fellow hurricane over top of you. That catch you made over that sorry ass Deadskin safety was nothing short of Alvin Harper-like. That play was some Montanna to Clark type shit. The man I owe an apology to is THE NEXT BIG THING...ANDRE JOHNSON. Goddamn I was wrong. You are like Fitzgerald and Bouldin all rolled into one. Alright enough of that shit. People might think I have a man crush on your ass.

Rex Ryan should be on the NFL's banned substance list, because this motherfucker is a performance enhancer. Whatever it is you do, keep doing it because the look on Brady and Bellicheck's face after that game was priceless.

In the famous words of the ROADDOG JESSE JAMES "IF YOU DON'T KNOW...YOUR ASS BETTER CALL SOMEBODYYYYYYYYYY! Houston is for real. Schuab and Johnson are great. That defensive front seven is fast & can put heat on the QB. Wouldn't it be real fucked up if the Texans play in the SuperBowl in Dallas while the Cowboys have to watch?

There is no sibling rivalry between the Mannings, so please shut up about this already. Peyton can line up with me, Big Shirley from Martin, and Grady from Sanford & Son and still beat Eli. Comment of the week made by Peyton's mother.

Peyton has always been like a big brother to Eli.

You think. That shit normally occurs when you happen to be born before a mofo. smh...

UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS:

Braylon Edwards, what is your goddamn problem? Do you love controversy & bad publicity? Drunk driving & driving with your windows tinted to dark?! I know the brother that tinted your whip told you "Man this shit is illegal, you still want them that dark?" But your response was......

Man I'm motherfuckin' Braylon Edwards bitch, tint my shit! I don't give a damn bout no laws or no police I'm a New York Jet! Better suck my Dick!

You get the picture. Braylon is famous for being famous. He has had one good year & other than that, his claim to fame is beating up James's (the NBA player formerly known as Queen James) little ass buddy in a night club incident last year. I think if that dude was two inches taller he could be classified as a midget instead of a dwarf. Braylon do me a favor, stop dropping passes, celebrating every time you do something, breaking laws & beating up little people. I'm just saying.............

BUFFOON OF THE WEEK:



THE ENTIRE DALLAS COWBOY ORGANIZATION.

* Tony Romo said & I quote...

We have to learn from our mistakes and just get better.

Translation. What he really meant was I'm going to keep doing dumbass shit & inventing new ways to embarrass this once proud franchise.

* Terrance Newman said & I quote...

There are things going on in practice that the coaches don't see & it is causing us to not be on the same page.

Translation. Jerry Jones is really the head coach, but I'm smart enough not to say that shit because I enjoy cashing my pay checks.

* Michael Jenkins said and I quote...

We continue to understimate our opponents and a lot of us believe we are entitled to certain things because of the star on our helmet.

Translation. Instead of watching film & preparing for our opponents, we are busy fucking bitches, making it rain, and trying to get our own reality TV shows.


Plain and simple folks...this a ship with no skipper at the helm. These sorry mofos invent ways to lose. Remember when they let a fullback go 80 yds on them to close out Texas Stadium & Sugar Ray Lewis said "Shut that bitch down?" Remember Tony Romo botching the snap in the wildacrd game years ago? What about losing to the wrong Manning to open the new Cowboys stadium & letting Brandon Jacobs big ass rumble down the sidelines on a 60 yd screen pass. The slapstick comedy that happened during last week's Deadskins game is still too painful to bring up. And I heard that shit is on the new NFL FOLLIES DVD. The Boys are Buffoons, Call it what it is. They are like those clown ass New York Knick teams coached by Pat Riley that did dumbass shit during the 90'S. It is like John Starks is a special adviser to the Boys & just when you think they have hit rock bottom they go even lower. Sorry but you guys are my buffoons of the week.



I'm out like Cowboy pride.

The NFL Low Down...Week 1 2010

I am going to start off this weeks edition of The Low Down by saying Rex Ryan is a Defensive Coordinator masquerading as a head coach. Why do I say this you ask? Because when you are a head coach, you don't go around trash talking and challenging players. You save your energy for preparing your players to do battle every week. Rex...when your talking about winning a SuperBowl, you are only concerning yourself with your number #1 ranked D. You are totally forgetting about that totally anemic offense led by Kyle Bowler...I mean Mark Sanchez that makes the Maryland Terps look like the greatest show on turf. Your job as head coach is to oversee offense, defense & special teams. It was cute when you put Bellicheck on notice last year, because you were the underdog and everyone was pulling for you. But now you say your team is the best. But unfortunately Mark Sanchez and the rest of your team now has to go out and play every week like the Pats did three years ago. Let your players play and your coaches coach and quit calling out guys like Ray Lewis. Because sooner or later your players are going to get tired of getting fucked up, call your ass out and you will be out of New York faster than Raz B's solo career.

THINGS THAT I LEARNED IN WEEK 1:

I have bet against Brady and Bellicheck for the last mutherfucking time. Everytime I believe they are done, they prove why they are winners. Sorry guys I am an idiot.

Chris Johnson maybe the best back in football. It seems like he breaks at least one long run a game and I can't remember the last time he was shut down.

Ray Lewis is the best defensive player I have ever seen in my life and I don't have to justify that shit.

Having Bobby Bowden coach wasn't all that bad if it means my Seminoles don't have to loose by 30 plus on National TV.

UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS:

Tony Romo is never going to be the leader that Peyton or Brady are, so I have given up on that dream. He seems OK with mutherfuckers jumping offside & the lack of discipline that has plagued this team for years. He said that the Deadskins showed him blitzes that he had never seen before. You believe that shit?! That ranks up there with Shaq saying before he had won a ring that he had won on every level except for college and the pros. I can't believe that he would admit to the public that he was unprepared...& that things will get better, all while wearing that shit eating grin on his face. That "awe-shucks go get em next time" shit don't fly in the pros. The NFL stands for Not For Long especially when your coaching staff is made up of Buffoons. What does it say about the leadership on this team when he makes statements like that? My bad, he plays for Wade Phillips...A guy who gets approval from his owner for his game plan each week. The only way Tony Romo & any team that he leads is ever going to the Super Bowl is if they pay for tickets to get into that shit. 7 points against the 85 Bears or 00 Ravens is acceptable, but not against that feared Deangelo Hall led Deadskins squad.

BUFFOON OF THE WEEK:



Would you replace the most penalized tackle in the world with the second most penalized tackle in the world? I know your saying at least that's an upgrade. lol Yeah fucking right, if you live in Cowboy World that type of dumbass thinking is acceptable. Jerry Jones, How many times must you make my list?! You live in a world where you believe replacing Jimmy Johnson with Barry Switzer & setting up Roy Willaims great great grandchildren for life makes you a genius. Wrong!!! Where I come from it makes you BUFFOON OF THE WEEK! Signing that bum to play tackle is worst than Tashard Choice shuckin' & jivin' and shakin' and bakin' before fumbling the ball to Deangelo Hall...leading to the Deadskins only TD. Before you make another executive decision regarding personnel...ask Wade Phillips, Tony Romo, and Jason Garrett for their advice. And then do the opposite. At least you didn't bring your dumbass down on the field this time.



I'm out like Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech's title hopes.
