Tom Brady, NFLPA sued and rightly so

DeMaurice Smith
Tom Brady




Mike Vrabel

As you may have heard, a group of retired NFL Hall of Fame players filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the NFL Players Association, union president DeMaurice Smith, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and former player Mike Vrabel, claiming these gentlemen did not have the authority to negotiate on their behalf during the labor dispute. "The retirees' rights were sacrificed for the benefit of the active players," plaintiffs' layers Michel Hausfeld told Yahoo! Sports. This disgusts me beyond belief. Both parties, in this instance, are wrong, wrong, wrong. It's upsetting to see that the retirees didn't have anybody there negotiating these terms and stipends on their behalf, ON THEIR BEHALF. If it's going to affect you physically, mentally, financially, then be there and stand up for what is right for YOU. Instead of complaining AFTER THE FACT, stop your bellyaching and FIX THE PROBLEM. Also, the NFL should take a look at what soldiers, that serve our country and fight for our freedom, do. For any current soldier, they pay monthly into an "old soldiers fund". This helps take care of the great men who served and protected the USA many years ago. If the NFL wants to be looked at as heroes, maybe they should take a look at how real "heroes" do things and maybe, just maybe, they would learn a thing or to, but I am not holding my breath.

Who Has Tom Brady and Wes Welker On Her Fantasy Football Team? I Do, Suckers!



As you can see after watching Monday's MNF game between the Dolphins v. Patriots that Welker/Brady are the best WR/QB combo in the League. Yes, the NFL lockout kept practicing with teammates virtually impossible and not having enough time to adjust to new and exisiting players is hard, but Tom Brady knows how to keep himself together and poised. I am not a New England Patriots fan, but Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the league. Compared to their Super Bowl winning season back in 2009 to last year, Brady wasn't the best (4,400 yards passing, compared to 3,900 in '10). Look, people were doubting Brady/Belichick after they lost to the Jets in the Division Playoffs, but don't count these guys out yet. If you are still a hater, well I'll have my friend Frank Farmer escort you out.




PS - I guess I should have drafted Sebastian Janikowski instead of Nate Kaeding. Kickers will be the death of me. Mark my words, friends.



Peyton Hillis was a BEAST in High School


If I were the Free Safety that got annihilated by future Cleveland Browns Running Back Peyton Hillis, I would give up playing football and stick to Medical School. But, if I tried to tackle Peyton Hillis, I would definitely let him run over me, any day. Yeah, he's a stud.

The Greatest First Pitch Thrown, Ever.


This is a Cirque de Soleil performer throwing out the first pitch at the Padres v. Royals game at Petco Park in June. This is the greatest first pitch thrown, ever. Enjoy!

No Hats Off To MLB


MLB, you left a sour taste in my mouth Sunday. Not letting the Mets players wear hats that recognized NYPD, NYFD Port Authority Police and other first responders, who lost their lives on 9/11, broke my heart and ticked me off. Mets players representative, Josh Thole, should have thumbed his nose at the MLB's edict for mandating the Mets wear authorized caps. Instead of looking the other way, MLB, your agenda was disturbing and for that, you should be completely ashamed and disgusted of your actions. During batting practice, Jose Reyes and other teammates wore hates to commemorate the first responders on that tragic day 10 years ago, but they should have been able to wear the hats boldly and proudly.

The Big 12 Cannot Be Saved



I have had several people ask me for my opinion on how the Big 12 can be saved and I am here to tell you that it cannot be saved. Yes, Big 12 fans don't have to hear from Nebraska fans anymore, so we are rejoicing over them leaving for the Big 10, but Big 12 commissioner, Dan Beebe, has not been trying his hardest to save this Conference. Yes, he saved the Conference last year when Texas was being flirted with the Pac-10, by giving them The Longhorn Network, but he has not been working diligently to get other schools to come join the Big 12. SMU has shown interest, but SMU would be a death wish, Boise State will be nothing without Kellen Moore. All the Broncos are remembered for is beating OU in the Fiesta Bowl back in 2007 and were upset by Nevada last year. Also, Arkansas will not even think of joining the Big 12. Why would Arkansas leave the money Juggernaut that is the SEC? Look, the smaller colleges are going to get left behind and there will be 4 'super' conferences and the small guys will be left in the dust. The Big 12 is done, unless by some miracle, 3 schools can fill the slots of Colorado, Nebraska and Texas A&M, but don't hold your breath.

Brian Wilson is Desirable


This is a video of San Francisco Giants closer, Brian Wilson, working out. If you know me, then you would know how infatuated I am with him. Yes, I find it incredibly sexy that he has such an amazing personality, he is witty, smart and can put a smile on my face, but he plays baseball, is a family man and a Christian. I deemed it necessary to share the following video of one sexy ninja. Also, I posted some pictures of "The Machine", just in case you couldn't get enough of him from the video. Ladies, enjoy.

 
How can this picture not make you want to be around him?
 
 
 
 Mmm, bodacious.
