Chiefs Release Larry Johnson

Farewell Larry Johnson said the Kansas City Chiefs today. The Chiefs organization told the former pro bowler that they no longer needed his services after he served a two week suspension. Larry Johnson posted on his twitter page about the competence of his head coach Todd Haley. Larry wrote, "my father got more credentials than most of these pro coaches...google my father! He also posted on twitter, "my father played for the coach from Remember the Titans. Our coach played golf. My father played for the Redskins briefly. Our coach nothing." Larry Johnson's agent Peter Schaffer said that Johnson was trying to promote his own father and not trying to discredit the Chief's coach. Yeah right. We don't even know who his father is and why would he compare his father who isn't a NFL coach with a person that is. Also to add insult to injury Larry Johnson use a gay slur to reporters in the locker room and again on twitter. Look I am happy that the Chiefs released Larry Johnson. Everybody tries to cause conflict or division in a team by saying and doing negative things to try to get a new contract or out of one. Larry Johnson was a back to back 1700 yard rusher. He has been nothing but a hard worker since he came to Kansas City until he's been through losing season after losing season and seen a player like Tony Gonzalez go to a playoff contender in Atlanta. So what does he do? He exposes his ignorant side by going on crazy rants with gay slurs and disrespectful messages about his coach. Why would this great organization want a person like that to break the all time Kansas City Chiefs rushing record held by Priest Holmes. Larry Johnson should be done period. Don't get me wrong,I believe in second chances, but why give it to a guy that after a great season in 2006 have been nothing but trouble. He sat out after that season by holding out and asking for more money. Larry received a six year deal worth 45 million and 19 million guaranteed and what does he do with it? In 2008 Coach Herm Edwards suspended him for violating team rules, then he was suspended by Roger Goodell for violating the league's player conduct policy and finally he was sentenced to two years probation for two counts of disturbing the peace. Now this season he only averaged 2.7 yards a carry which is the lowest of his career.

Clippers Win

So I got free tickets to the Clippers vs. Memphis basketball game on Saturday and I was kind of like whatever. Don't get me wrong I'm a Clippers fan because I was born, raised and reside in Los Angeles and love every team in this wonderful city, but every time I go to a Clipper's game they lose. I mean last week on Halloween I went to the Clipper's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The game was a good game, but like always the Clippers find away to fall apart in the fourth quarter. Well this game was a different situation. First off I was highly upset due to the fact that Allen Iverson was not playing and wasn't even in the building because of personal matters, but we all know the real reason why he wasn't there. Allen Iverson is deteriorating slowly. He has fallen hard since the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers traded him to Denver. Then after that he's been asked to come off the bench by the Detroit Pistons and the Memphis Grizzlies. Even though Allen Iverson wasn't playing I was extremely happy because of the seats we had. We were right behind the basket which allowed my friends and I to heckle Zach Randolph and give Al Thorton a shot of confidence in his game. I can honestly say that it was a good game. It wasn't a game where the Clippers were losing the whole game. A game with nothing but ignorant fouls and bone head turnovers. The Clippers played hard with a look of confidence in their eyes. Like they knew they had a chance to win. Of course they would against the Grizzlies, but that's beside the fact because Memphis has the potential to be a good team in the Western Conference. Baron Davis showed his leadership even though that game he was always in foul trouble. Sebastian Telfair got the standing ovation he deserved for stepping up to plate and leading the charge as Baron was on the bench. When the Clippers needed a stop the two big men Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby came up with big blocks and hustled hard for those defensive rebounds, and finally in the fourth quarter the Clippers were able to finish the game strong. The game came down to the last seconds, but the Clippers made a great comeback. After taking the lead with less than five minutes left the Clippers kept their composure and played like that game was their's to win. Look, the Clippers looks like they have the talent and ability to make the playoffs this year and could give anybody in the playoffs a hard time, but if they let these fourth quarters keep slipping away then they can say good bye playoff spot and hello top first round pick. I think with return of Blake Griffin the Clipper team can only get and play better.

Yankees Win

The long season is over and we finally have a winner. Coming full circle through spring season, summer nights baseball and finally to the fall classic. The average baseball fan has endured through the singles, doubles, triples and home runs. Yes, the loyal fan has watched strikeouts to pop outs, doubleheaders and double plays with the occasional triple play, and not to mention the great catches. Diving catches, one handed catches and the all ways graceful home run nabbing catch. We can all agree that the season has brought us the joy of America's great past time. We've watched the resilient Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim make it through adversity all the way to the American League Championship Series. And where would baseball be without the steroid controversy I mean the Mitchell report named big stars such as Big Poppy David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez Miguel Tejada and Alex Rodriguez. Fans survived through all the blown calls by umpires and a questionable home run by Alex Rodriguez, but we still were able to watch the best teams of each division. The returning World Champion Philadelphia Phillies with big batter Ryan Howard and former MVP Jimmy Rollins against a team with nothing but great tradition and future greats like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera. Baseball fans bear witness to Chase Utley's run at post season history by tying Reggie Jackson's record of hitting five home runs in five games. The baseball season came to a glorious conclusion on a cool November night with the Yankees winning in six games 7 to 3. Look most fans are just happy the season is over. Most people say the season is way too long. The postseason took forever to finish with too many days off between post season games. Fans were glad to see how Alex Rodriguez got out of his so called post season slump by hitting home run after home run and game winning RBI after RBI. All I have to say is that George Steinbrenner checkbook finally payed for a World Series title. Bringing in Ace pitchers C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett and super slugger Mark Texiera the Yankees have made it to the mountain top. The Bronx Bombers blasted home runs out of that cookie cutter stadium at almost a record breaking rate due to wind tunnels carrying fly balls out into the crowd. All in all we know who the champs are and happy to see that organization be triumphant one more time and guess what my great baseball fans we only have to wait three more months till this dog and pony show comes back around.

Browns Owners vs Protesting Fans

The story of the week seems to be that two Cleveland Browns fans Mike Randall and Tony Schafer are loathing over the way the Browns are playing this season. This year did not start off on the right foot. Their only win came in the worst game ever on television. They beat the Buffalo Bills 6 to 3, neither team had over 300 yards. But lets start at the beginning the owner of the Bengals Randy Lerner hired Eric Mangeini, then he traded Kellen Winslow and finally let Mangini keep his great Quarterback secret of Quinn or Anderson till it was leaked by one of his players. I mean being a Cleveland Brown got so bad that wide receiver Braylon Edwards had to punch somebody just to get out of there and now two angry fans are asking other season ticket holders not come to the game til after the first quarter. That's pretty good if you want the NFL to start blacking out their games. That could be why Randy granted a meeting with these two long time fans. Look, this is the greatest thing a owner can do. Of course most critics are going to say what's his problem? Why would a owner waste his time meeting with two fans that are just another dollar signs to him. That's what a great owner does. He doesn't look at these fans like dollar signs. He looks at them as regular people who have the power to cost him major money. I mean really how many owners from any sport will take time out of there busy schedule to work a great public relations ploy to help keep money in his wallet. You have to tip your hat to a owner what people want. An Answer. All these fans are saying is that America is going through some tough times and coming to Cleveland Brown's Stadium is helping them forget about their worries, but are only having their issues compounded by watching a team get demolished week after week. All you have to do is just put a team that competes out there and fans will have no more quarrels or protest against you.

Tom Cable 20 years Ago

The head coach of the struggling Oakland Raiders is having more problems off the field then on. After starting the season with allegations of him punching his assistant coach Randy Hanson and breaking his jaw. Not to mention the star of another dismal season(2-6). Now Tom Cable doesn't only have to deal with the inability of JaMarcus Russell's passing game. He now has to deal with the inability to keep his personal life private. Two woman came forth to talk about how Tom Cable abused them years ago. One of him was his wife Sandy Cable and the other was a girlfriend by the name of Marie Lutz. Cable's wife Sandy said she was abused over twenty years ago and Tom acknowledged that he did. He told reporters,"I became aware that my wife Sandy had committed adultery. I became very angry and slapped her with an open hand. What I did was wrong and I have regretted and felt sorrow about that moment ever since". On the other hand his ex-girlfriend Marie said that Tom hit her between three and four times. She also brought up a story where Tom had another woman in his house and she demanded to meet her. That's when Tom grabbed her by her arm and pushed her outside of his door. Tom Cable said that Marie came over uninvited and he was cleared of all charges against him by the proper authorities. Look why does the NFL need to investigate these problems. For one they were twenty years ago and two he wasn't even apart of the NFL when these things happened. He was cleared of all charges. His wife didn't press any charges back then and why bring it up now. This has much a do about nothing. So they say they want to bring up that he has a history of violence. Of course he does he played football. They all have a history of violence. I used to have a thing I called post season aggression. After the football season was over I still needed that physical contact. I'm not saying i condone abusing a women, but I am saying these are incidents from his past that has know leverage on what's happening now. The police already said about the confrontation with Hanson that it was all a misunderstanding. We just need to understand that we all have done things in our past that we aren't proud of. If he learned from those altercations and is a better man for it good, but if another incident comes up that he was physically harming to anyone put him in anger management classes and have take a permanent or temporary leave of absence. Tom please stay out of trouble.

Florida's Linebacker and the SEC

On Saturday afternoon Georgia Bulldogs played the Florida Gators in a so called rivalry game. Most people call this a rivalry game now due to about two years ago when the Georgia team scored a touchdown the whole team ran on the field to celebrate. Since then Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators have been out for revenge. During the end of a game last year Urban called two timeouts so they can pile on points against the bulldogs. So on this Saturday when Georgia's running back Washuan Ealey was tackled by the Florida defense and got his eye gouged by linebacker Brandon Spikes. Before I get to the laughable punishment that was giving to him for this horrible and tasteless offense I'll talk about the act. The act of gouging an opponents eye is an extreme act of brashness. How is it that eye gouging is only excepted in the WWE. I mean come on they were winning the game convincingly. Now I must admit playing football I have done a lot of things on the field that may be considered wrong for example pinching, punching and head locks, but eye gouging was something I never thought was except able. That's like hitting someone in the back or below the knee it could be career ending or just in poor taste. Look knowing all this it is unbelievable that the SEC agreed with this ghastly suspension for one half. This is a joke and this situation should be taken over by the NCAA and suspend him for at least two games. Do you think if a Georgia player gouged Tebow's eye they would be happy with a half game suspension? Come on. This lets me further know that the Sec is helping and hoping that Florida make it to the BCS championship. With a few game deciding calls for Florida was made and a light suspension for this incident Tim Tebow's legacy will stay in tact. Tewbow hit the media with this kiddy excuse saying," I don't think we did anything in that game that they didn't do",and with the way the SEC handled it, it goes to show that Florida team will be able to get away with whatever they want until they win this year's BCS championship.

Brett Farve

So Brett Farve ran onto Lambeau Field to a chorus of boos. He took the field ready to prove a point and show everybody that doubted him why he came back. Brett came out of the tunnel smoking leading the Vikings to a 17 - 3 halftime lead. He then finished the game with three touchdown passes and no interceptions. His final stat line was 17/28 244 yards with 4 touchdowns in all. After beating up on the Packers in Minnesota he came back home to the Stadium where he lead the Packers to one Super Bowl ring and a multitude of playoff appearances. The team he played for for 16 years and set every major passing record along with a consecutive starting streak of 275 only to demolish them again. Look with all that he's done for the Packers he still put them through the ringer over flip flopping on retirement and the Owner of the Packers did do him dirty by forcing him out to start Aaaron Rodgers. All in all Brett Farve showed why he wanted to comeback and got his revenge rather he wanted to admit it or not on the Owner of the Green Bay Packers. Brett Farve is playing at a MVP level and passing better than most quarterbacks half his age. Brett Farve still showed he plays the same way all day everyday with passion, excitement,love and respect the game of football.
