Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. Goes On Racist Rant
[Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:13:08 -0700]

I said what I said T…I’ll leave it at that..

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. goes on a racist rant aimed at Manny Pacquiao..It’s no surprise he’s calling out Manny..For some reason Floyd just doesn’t to fight Manny..He says this, “I’m on vacation for about a year, about a year,” Mayweather said. “As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain’t worried about that. So they ain’t gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you all to jump on my d—. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. … Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that mother f—– make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.” OK…that was a little racist…Maybe this is the fuel this fight needed to make it happen..Can’t wait for the day where I will actually see these two in the same ring..

Erin Andrews is extremely paranoid..but can you blame her..Every time she stays at a hotel, she must get duct tape and put it over the peep hole..but now a days, being the celebrity she is..the Hotel security handles her greatest fear..Recently when the ESPN and “Dancing With the Stars” sideline princess recently stayed at the Marcel Hotel in Gramercy, “Staff were instructed to keep their eyes out for any Peeping Toms, checked who was staying in neighboring rooms and guarded her room,” said our source…now she can air dry in peace..Thanks to Marquez Grace for the scoop..-TO

The Phlyin Phanatic Not Cleared For Takeoff
[Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:00:11 -0700]

This is our blood, sweat and tears T…

Red Bull holds a sponsored event where people design and build flying contraptions..Saturday’s Red Bull Flugtag had thiry two teams ready to go..except on team might not be able to take off..The five people in the “Phlyin Phanatics” learned Thursday that their contraption, a 22-foot-wide version of the Phillie Phanatic might not be allowed to compete..According to Phanatics member Julie Jones, Event sponsor Red Bull slapped the group with a verbal cease-and-desist, directing the group to remove the likeness of the Phanatic and all reference to the Phillies..”We started building this in April or May, and sent in drawings,” she told me. “Red Bull approved the sketches. They even came out and saw it in progress..” That would really suck..I’m all for seeing if the Phanatic can fly..Red Bull rep e-mailed today to say: ”We are working with the team to make sure they are cleared for takeoff on Saturday.” Looking forward to the Flutag..hopefully with the Phlyin Phanatic..-TO

After hundreds of nominations, and interviewing dozens of women, D Magazine editors narrowed the pool down to 20 semifinalists…Pilar Sanders being one of them..Pilar talks about her crazy home life..“There are never just five people at our house,” she says. “I always wanted a big family, so I absolutely love it.” Pilar also makes a mean spaghetti which has to count for something..“I will guarantee it’s the best spaghetti you’ve ever tasted in your life. It took me a couple years to perfect, and I think it’s there.” I give her props for dealing with Deion..not an easy task..To Vote for Pilar Click Here..-TO

Terry Bradshaw Rips NFL Stars

Respect my daughter T…don’t go Big Ben on her..

Terry Bradshaw loved the game of football…he also respected the game…but he feels today’s stars lack respect off the field..and many of them front Terry like he’s some sort of punk..The dude’s won four Super Bowls and that’s a stat that deserves the ultimate respect..Bradshaw, the keynote speaker at the AdvoCare Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon at Shreveport Country Club, expressed a concern about the lack of “great guys” in the NFL and the abundance of prima donnas…He Says…”(Today’s athletes) put a little more value in who they are because they are special athletes,” Bradshaw said. “Really what they are is a human being.” Terry doesn’t understand today’s athletes..”They need you going up, but then when they get there, they’re rude to you,” Bradshaw said. “I get treated like — you wouldn’t believe the way some of these stars treat me.” Terry also took a shot at fellow Steeler Big Ben Rothelisberger..”Going to bars — treating women like that; oh my God,” Bradshaw said. “I pray they don’t cut (his NFL suspension) to four games. I hope they leave it at six. There is no excuse for that. The egos get out of hand.” Terry makes some valid points..If it means anything..I respect you Terry..and Terry’s not alone..Check out Terry on vid and some dude commenting on Terry’s remarks..To see the Videos continue reading. -TO

Interesting game this one. I thought we’d see the Dolphins run circles around the Cowboys for a series or so and get out of Dodge.

The Cowboys cooperated by serving up their second-teamers as sacrifice to Miami’s starters. The list of Dallas players that never took a snap in this game reads like a Pro Bowl roster: Tony Romo, Miles Austin, Marion Barber, Felix Jones, DeMarcus Ware, Jay Ratliff, Jason Witten, Leonard Davis, Keith Brooking, Terence Newman and Doug Free all DID NOT PLAY for Dallas.

In fact of their 22 starters on offense and defense, only two started for the Cowboys. Montrae Holland and Michael Hamlin drew the short straws for the Cowboys and had to start.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, went with their full complement of starters except for a handful of playes held out for injury reasons. Jake Grove, who has an injured shoulder, had trouble finishing practices for the Dolphins this week, according to coach Tony Sparano, so he didn’t make the trip. Vontae Davis did travel but was held out for “precautionary reasons,” Sparano said. Channing Crowder also missed his third preseason game.

The rest of the starters played. And played. And played.

“The plan was that Jake [Long], Karlos {Dansby] and a couple other guys would be in there for three series or so,” Sparano said.

The starting offense got 20 plays that stretched into the early part of the second quarter. The starting interior linemen — Richie Incognito, Joe Berger and John Jerry — played longer.

The starting defense got 26 snaps as a unit before coming out when Dallas got the ball with one minute left in the first half.

If you want to know my opinion on coach’s decision to play his starters beyond that first series against Dallas, click here.

For a minute there, it looked as if Sparano played Long one play too many. The franchise left tackle got rolled up on his left knee and was down for a couple of breath-stealing seconds. (Relax, he’s fine. He was examined and although he didn’t return to the game, he wasn’t limping or feeling worse for wear afterward. He will start against the Buffalo Bills, assuming nothing outrageous happens in practice next week.)

Anyway, against second- and third-team competition, the Dolphins were down 7-3 at one point before taking a 10-7 lead and then surrendering that lead to go in 10-10 at halftime.

Chad Henne completed six of 11 passes for 53 yards for a 67.6 QB rating. He had one turnover on a fumble and he was sacked twice. Ronnie Brown gained 10 yards on four carries. Ricky Williams had two rushes for 45 yards, including a 42-yarder when he ran through a hole wide enough to fit a bus. Davone Bess was Miami’s most consistent receiver catching five passes for 42 yards — three of those on screen type throws where the QB just lifts up and throws to Bess at the line of scrimmage. Brandon Marshall caught one pass for 6 yards.

“We definitely wanted to improve on last week against the Falcons,” Henne said. “And I think in some areas we did. We had a big run. We scored points on the first drive there. But obviously, we want touchdowns. We don’t need field goals down there. We need to protect the ball and score more points.”

And defensively, in that first half, the Dolphins yielded 163 yards with 143 of them coming through the air. Dallas third-string QB Stephen McGee completed 13 of 19 passes for 152 yards with one TD. His QB rating against Miami’s starters was 110.0.

“A lot of people say I’m not good enough,” McGee said, “but I know inmy heart how good a quarterback I am. I’ve said that since day one, it’s a matter of [getting] a good opportunity.”

One such opportunity came when McGee found Sam Hurd on a 43-yard TD pass. Hurd beat Miami cornerback Sean Smith.

“It’s just that one play. That’s how it is for me,” Smith said. “I hold myself to very high standards. So no matter how well I perform, giving up a play like that is unacceptable. I just have to tighten that up. It’s nothing that can’t be fixed. Just need to look at the film, find out what I did wrong and do better next week.

“I had perfect coverage. I looked back too soon. When I looked back, I slowed down, the receiver got separation. You give the receivers any little bit of room and the quarterback is going to make that throw. So, I don’t know.”

I know.

Not good enough. From practically anyone. Offense. Defense. Coaching. Not good enough right now.

I might be alone on this opinion, however.

Coach Sparano seemed to express satisfaction from portions of the performance.

“Last week, I told you guys we couldn’t really take a whole lot from the game from a team standpoint,” he began. “This time, I felt like at least we were able to get some things going offensively, and we were able to do some things on a defensive end. It wasn’t really sloppy until the very end (of the game). It was pretty clean.”

And the players are apparently very confident despite finishing the preseason with two consecutive losses (whatever that means).

“I think we’re definitely motivated,” said defensive end Kendall Langford. “We’re confident. We know the kind of team we have and we’re just going to go [to Buffalo] and take care of business.”

Let’s hope.
