Triple Play

Filed under: , by: Stankoniforous 0ne

Stank-0 liked Werds Triple Play idea so much.  It's a good look.  So here are three stories from this week as we await another week of NFL action. 

Trouble in New England? 
Seems Coach Belichick had been speaking to players about going the extra mile to turn the losing skid around.  Admirable, right?  Then 4 players, including Moss and Thomas, Adalius; show up late due to inclement weather.  Coach promptly tells them to kick rocks.  Tom Brady backs Coach during his media session. 

The article goes into it a bit.  Thomas is mostly likely gone in the off-season so this did not help his relationship with Coach and Moss is a team captain. 

Before we start harping on a lost season, they play the Carolina Panthers led by the QB formerly known as Jake Delhomme.  So..yeah that's pretty much money in the bank. 

Now the Pats need to fight for at least one home game in the playoffs, can't be too many more losses or that will be out of sight for them. 

Who Dat got your 60-inch TV shot up!
Stank-0 heard vaguely about this.  Let's set the stage.  It involves alcohol and the Saints @ Redskins.  Seems an overly sauced fan put a message on his Facebook status stating if the Saints should beat the Redskins his friends could come and shoot up his TV.  Well, Stank-0 presumes his said this prior to this, which set off a chain reaction of events leading the Saints to winning the game. 

His friends came in droves to let off on his TV.  Honestly, the video is high-larious.  Stank-0 heard "Who Dat?" at least 100 times in the video.  It is a must see.  No gun accidents happened even with alcohol guest starring in this video.   

Take away:  DON'T BET AGAINST THE SAINTS. 

Another last name?
Chad Ocho Cinco is a global brand.  So it seems his Japanese faithful mentioned he should change his last name, again, to Hachi Go which is 85 in Japanese. 

The comments in the story are pitiful at best.  If Esteban Ocho Cinco wants to change his name, so be it.  Also, he is not taking attention away from the Bengals.  They are in cruise control until the playoffs start.  There's nothing destructive from Chad doing Chad things. Fall back.

So dear readers, anything of note to talk about?  The floor is yours.

Triple Play

Filed under: , , , by: Anonymous

There's alot going on in sports so instead of writing three separate articles, I'll cover each in this one.  I hope this can become an enduring part of this blog.  Without further ado.

The superfight

The biggest fight of our lifetimes according to Stank-0 is one giant step closer.  Mayweather agreed to terms and the only thing left is the date.  Right now that is March 13, 2010.  People, calm down.  This is gonna happen.  Too much money on the table for it not to.  I won't front, I'll be watching.  So will you. 

I have to disagree with Stank-0 (Surprise, surprise).  I'm rolling with Pacquiao in this bout. 

Reunited and it feels so good

AI is once again wearing a Sixers uni.  This was coming soon after we heard that Eddie Jordan met with AI and called him an "interesting individual."  Whatever that's supposed to mean.
It kinda needed to end this way, with AI back where he started.  The Sixers were Allen Iverson for such a long time.  The new problem is who do we call AI on this team, Iverson or Iguodala?

Another new problem, does AI start or come off the bench?  Will he agree to reserve status? 

UPDATE!: Iverson accepted the offer and is going to PHI.  The contract is for a pro-rated veteran's minimum of $1.3 million.  It makes sense with Lou Williams gone for 8 weeks.  The new problem will be working Lou back in once he returns. 


Pushed out

Bobby Bowden has retired after he was giving one of two options.  Elevate Fisher to coach and become ambassador for FSU football or walk.  He chose to walk.

Please don't let his career be judged by the slow decline into Bolivia.  There was a stretch where FSU finished the season ranked at least #10 in the country.  I want to say that was for at least 10 years if not longer. 

It was the USC of its day, with All-Americans lining up to play for Coach Bowden.  FSU had a stranglehold on the ACC Championship in that stretch as well.  It owned the ACC for that matter.

That's the problem with greatness, you never know when to walk away.  It's also very sad that FSU and Bobby Bowden peaked in 1999 with their coronation victory over a young Michael Vick-led Virginia Tech team. 

As always, comments and/or disagreements are welcome.
