Boise St. Has Nothing To Apologize For |
|
Boise St. has nothing to apologize for. Not their conference. Not their schedule. Not for beating Oklahoma on a trick play. And not for blowing a 17 point lead and not hammering Virginia Tech. Not only do they have nothing to apologize for, they’re not getting the credit they deserve. They just did a top ten team, for all intents and purposes in their house and overcame crazy adversity to do it.

Bad Play Leinart |
|
There’s getting slapped in the face. And there’s getting your face caved in and that’s what happened to Matt Leinart. Look, Leinart wasn’t surprised the Arizona Cardinals released him. That’s what he wanted. He orchestrated the whole thing. What had to shock him, though, was finding out that Arizona wasn’t the only team in the league who thinks he’s not a starting quarterback. In fact, every other team in the NFL thinks he’s a back up, which is why he ended up in Houston with a one year deal. Bad play Matt.

Why Not Sign Revis Sooner |
|
Better late than never, but if all it took was getting the owner and the coach on a plane and in front of Darrelle Revis to get him signed, why didn’t the Jets do it sooner? They’ve put it out there, all offseason and throughout the preseason; it’s Super Bowl or bust. And no one, the Jets included, were buying that nonsense they were running that they could get there without Revis. That they’d be fine with Antonio Cromartie and rookie Kyle Wilson. No, they wouldn’t.

Take It In Stride Randy |
|
Randy Moss doesn’t have a contract beyond this season. And while he says it’s not a problem, you know it is. “When you have done so much and put so much in, it kind of feels like I am not wanted. I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it kind of a bad feeling, feeling not wanted.” You’re not taking it in stride? If you were you wouldn’t be talking about it and telling everyone how badly you feel about it. How have you not seen this move before?

Crank Up Some College Football |
|
Absolutely awesome to crank up some College Football last night, and not a second too soon. Let me break down the good and the bad of USC v. Hawaii. I’ll start with the great; Hawaii’s haka dance. I love that. That is so hard. I see that, and I don’t know how these guys ever lose. After seeing it last night, I was convinced they could beat the Saints. Of course, a few minutes later, they run right into USC talent and the record gets scratched. The Trojans did win that Honolulu track meet, so let me start with their good. Q.B. Matt Barkley, looks like he spent the offseason in the weight room and dark room. Bad, that “C” they stitched into his uniform. Not his fault; I like that he’s the captain but that’s a bad look. Jason Varitek thinks that’s cornball.

Big Ben’s Advisors |
|
If it seems to dumb to be true it usually is. Speculation prior to their meeting today had Ben Roethlisberger and his reps actually asking Roger Goodell to knock his suspension all the way down to 3 games. Who are your advisors? Houston Nutt. And why should he reduce it. Because you haven’t forced yourself on any women, allegedly in the last month. In the end, they didn’t ask and Goodell dropped it to four. And Roethlisberger’s lucky he did. He’s lucky Goodell didn’t keep it at six or tack on an extra game on that speculation alone.

Click Clack And Crabtree Scuffle |
|
Have to love Niners coach Mike Singletary having to separate tight end Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree when they were up in each other’s grill Weds. I wasn’t there, so I don’t exactly know what Click Clack was so hot about, but I’m guessing it had something to do with Crabtree not having the requisite enthusiasm for the preseason and training camp. And although no one would cop to what was said, I’m guessing he probably told Crabtree, I will not tolerate a teammate who thinks it’s about him! And Vernon Davis wants winners!

Nats v. Marlins Brawl |
|
Right about now, if there’s a brawl or some sort of MLB controversy, you can assume Nationals leadoff man Nyjer Morgan is probably right in the middle of it. And he was again last night. Nats and Marlins and it actually started the night before when Morgan slammed into Florida catcher Brett Hayes in the 10th inning. Hayes separated his shoulder on the play, but I don’t know why the Marlins were so hot. Sure, Morgan could have slid; may have even been safe if he did. But that wasn’t Pete Rose running Ray Fosse into the dugout in an exhibition game. That was a leadoff man burying the catcher, in the 10th, in a tie game, trying to win. But the Marlins didn’t think he needed to do it, didn’t like Hayes getting hurt, and really don’t like Morgan so they dotted him last night in the fourth. At that point, it probably would have been over, except down 11 runs, Morgan swiped a couple of bags. The Marlins, already infuriated by the guy, and thinking that he violated one of baseball’s archaic codes only understood by those who play the game, set out to teach the guy a lesson once and for all. So pitcher Chris Volstad threw behind him in the 6th and Morgan charged the mound. And this wasn’t for show. This was a great baseball brawl.

Already Man Ram In Chicago |
|
He wasn’t in Chicago five minutes before Manny started being Manny. And forgot how to speak English. Sure enough, despite speaking English his whole career, he required an interpreter; coach Joey Cora to get him through yesterday’s q and a with the media. Sammy Sosa thinks that’s convenient. Granted, he hadn’t spoken to the media here all season so maybe he really did just forget how to speak the language.

Nice Try Ole Miss |
|
Have to give it to Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt and Q.B. Jeremiah Masoli for trying to circumvent the transfer rule; had to give it a shot, ehh fellas? Aww, so close. Look, the NCAA gets a lot of things wrong, but not this one. This rule is for players who want to leave to continue their graduate studies at a school that offers their curriculum; they didn’t write the rule so guys could loot a frat house, get busted for the chron, kicked off the team and then go play for someone else without having to sit out.

Aroldis Exceeds Hype |
|
Almost nothing ever lives up to the hype… and certainly nothing ever exceeds it. Except this. Meet the nastiest, filthiest man, alive, Aroldis Chapman. Look, I hate to be the guy to pile on and over hype or rate anyone or anything. But this Cat is disgusting. He was clocked by a scout doing 105 in a minor league game last week. This isn’t some Sidd Finch urban legend either. The guy has that kind of gas.

You Only Compete Against Kobe |
|
Shaq O’Neal says it doesn’t matter that Kobe Bryant just blew by him to win his fifth ring. Doesn’t matter because O’Neal says Bryant isn’t the guy he’s chasing: “It burns inside me that Bill Russell has 11. And that Kareem has six. I don’t compete against guys who are not in my position. It would have bothered me more if Tim Duncan would have won. I’m not worried about a guy who has five and I helped him get three… I only compete against big guys.” You only compete against big guys? You don’t worry about Bryant? What are you talking about? After you went by the guy, you were in a club dropping this; if you really were about running down Bill Russell and Kareem, you would have found a way to make it work with Bryant in L.A.

Rocket Not Worried About Slam |
|
How about Roger Clemens going out to play some golf right after pleading not guilty to lying to congress. Does this look like a Cat who’s worried about going to the slam. I half expected him to come off the 18th green O.J style and say, ‘All right, let’s go find the real roiders.” Look, it’s not in his DNA, and he probably thinks he’s too far down the road to change his story now but what’s going to trial really going to get him? Other than because he’s the Rocket…, why does the guy continue to push? Three reasons; One, he didn’t do it. That’s unlikely, his former trainer says he did. His little buddy Andy Petitte says he told him he did.

CJ Standing By 2500 |
|
Tennessee Titans back Chris Johnson really needs the rock under his right arm, a fullback and some fools to smoke. But until that happens, he’s content to just hold court. This time he got his rap on with Yahoo columnist and JRIB’er Mike Silver and he just raised the bar that much higher. A 2500 yard season? He’s standing by it. People wanting to race him? He says everyone talks big but no one shows up.

Man Ram Has Had Enough |
|
One way or another, it looks like Manny Ramirez is headed to Chicago. He made sure of that by melting down yesterday and getting himself ejected after one pitch while pinch hitting against the Rockies. When this Cat has had enough, he’s had enough and he doesn’t care if you’re still battling for a playoff spot or not. If the Dodgers were still unsure as to whether or not they were still in the hunt or if they should keep him, he made their decision for them. And how predictable. No one has ever started more brilliantly nor crashed more spectacularly in this town than Man-Ram. And if you’re surprised, you’re just not paying attention.

Couture Win Proves Nothing |
|
Muhammad Ali in his prime wasn’t going to beat Randy Couture Saturday night… so a flabby, way past his prime James Toney had no shot whatsoever. Not fighting MMA rules, he didn’t. Again, this proves nothing at all. We’re talking about different sports completely. It would be like asking Albert Pujols to beat Kobe Bryant in a game of one on one. Never going to happen. Toney’s only shot was to land a bomb standing up and there was no chance of that happening because there was no way that fight wasn’t going to the ground. Especially after Couture took him down with that junior varsity single leg.

Easy Ndamukong |
|
There’s not a more congenial guy off the field than Lions rookie Ndamukong Suh. And I’m not sure there’s a fiercer dude on it. Ask Browns Q.B. Jake Delhomme; he found out the hard way Saturday, nearly losing his spleen in the process. Look, I’m not a referee. I don’t even play one on TV. But I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to do that in the NFL. I’m not even sure you can do that in the UFC. Eaaaasy, killer hit the quarterback, good. Rip his head clean off his shoulders, bad.
