Ricky Freakin' Williams

I love how Ricky has fairly quietly come back to the forefront of the NFL, steamrolling the Carolina Panthers in last night's game with three touchdowns and 138 total yards. The man is a beast. It's great to see him put personal demons behind him and fuel the Dolphins in the absence of Ronnie Brown. Ricky currently sits at 8 touchdowns and 677 rush yards. With Brown out for the season and six games remaining, it's quite possible that Ricky breaks the 1,000 yard mark for the season.

Today also marks the fifth anniversary of the brawl at the Palace between the Pacers and Pistons. Although not as historically important as other 'events', I'll still always remember sitting on my couch thinking 'WTF is Artest doing.....OHHHHHH DAMN!' That is until the debilitating Alzheimer's kicks in leaving my memories nothing more than a jumbled mess. I'll be calling out for Nancy to bring my pipe and slippers, when most likely I'll be holed up in a dank apartment, alone and soiled.

Sometimes I share too much.

Fewell of us will care

Interim Buffalo Bills coach Perry Fewell has decided on the lesser of two hacks, promoting Ryan Fitzpatrick to starting QB after Trent Edwards laid yet another egg in Tennessee on Sunday, going 18 for 28 with a whopping 185 yards, 1 TD and a Pick-6. I personally have no opinion on this matter because T.O. will still suck the life out of my fantasy team regardless of which rag arm is throwing the rock, but it's nice to see the interim coach try and shake things up.

I promise this is not a Buffalo Bills blog even though 2/3rds of my initial posts have been Bills related.

The NBA season is 12 games in, and...oh yeah, it's still football season. Piss off, NBA. (college hoops, we still love you)

Jauron Baby Gone

The Buffalo Bills, they of the 'wide right' and current owners of a 3-6 record just over halfway through the season, decided to part ways with coach Dick Jauron. I can act surprised if that helps anyone deal with this shocking development. Sure, owner Ralph Wilson might be old enough to have helped General Washington cross the Delaware, but at least he's in the game enough to know when to say 'good bye'.

Now if he would just say hello to a GM worth a damn and let football guys that were born since the merger actually build a team, then we'd be getting somewhere.

Monday Night Snooze Fest

Could the ladies and gents over at ESPN not find a more awful game to dump on their Monday night viewing public than the crap fest that was the Baltimore Ravens v Cleveland Browns? I'd rather watch elderly porn and masturbate with a cheese grater than be subjected to less than 100 yards of passing offense from the inept Browns. When is the axe going to fall on Mangini's massive neck? If I owned the Browns, I would probably just implode the stadium during the next home game....rescue the fans from their misery, save the players the embarrassment and send myself to that horrible owners' cloud in the sky.
