From Selfless Act To Selfish Act
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 | Sports | No Comments
Last night’s Monday Night Football game featured a heated rivalry between the Eagles and Cowboys at Texas Stadium in Dallas. It become a powerful offensive showdown before halftime as the Eagles captured a lead with the score at 30-24. However, the biggest news of the night for fantasy football owners is what didn’t happen. With a clear line to the endzone, receiver DeSean Jackson of the Eagles committed one of the biggest rookie bonehead moves since Plaxico Buress’ spiking of a live ball. Jackson celebrated to the endzone too soon a la Leon Lett and fumbled the ball away at the 1-yard line by letting go. The play was reviewed and luckily the Eagles were given the ball at the 1 with first and goal. Brian Westbrook took it in and I guess you can say it was football kharma because last year Westbrook intentionally prevented himself from reaching the endzone to guarantee an Eagles win over the Cowboys. These weird, comedic moments in NFL history in a way is what makes watching the game so entertaining. You never know what’s going to happen. Thank God for Tivo.

Brian Westbrook – Selfless Act Of The Week

This is why I love the game. In a sport where you have players begging to be thrown the ball and some only ‘playing when they want to’, Brian Westbrook plays for his team. Up 10-6 with a little over 2 minutes left in the game, Westbrook had a chance to walk into the endzone to put the Eagles up 17-6. Instead, he stops short and falls down at the 1 yard line. The Cowboys had no timeouts left in the game, so all the Eagles had to do was kneel every down after the 2 minute warning.
HAHA! I get the same draft spot as last year

Aww yeah! Round 1 Western Conference Finals…GS 1 – Mavs 0
Their chances of going all the way aren’t great, but I believe in the playoffs anything can happen. They’ve got nothing to lose, so they’re going to lay it all out with some great moments. In the meanwhile, I’ll enjoy every chance I get to watch them in the spotlight.
It’s time for JRich, B-Dizzle, Monta, Jackson and the rest of the ballers to shine!
Football is back!!!

At last, the loooong preseason is over and we’re heading into the regular season when games actually count! I can’t wait. It’s not looking that great for our bay area teams (49ers and Raiders) but there’s definitely room to rebuild themselves back into glory. For Oakland the team looks improved on defense with young, speedy defensive backs and linebackers, but their bread and butter comes from their two stars: Randy Moss and LaMont Jordan. For the Niners, they’ve managed to improve their offensive line a bit, and WR Antonio Bryant might be a slight upgrade from the departed Brandon Lloyd. It still looks like a long rebuilding year for them, with what looks like Alex Smith’s first full-season start. Rookie, Vernon Davis is a monster and may someday be an Antonio Gates caliber TE, but only time will tell. Compared to their division rivals, it looks like the 9ers may end up last place in their division once again, though.
Cowboys practicing at Spartan Stadium

I hear the Dallas Cowboys are practicing at SJSU’s Spartan Stadium in between games they have with the 49ers(last week) and the Raiders(this week). I’d like to get a bunch of Cowboy haters together and boo them out of town 
I’ve always hated the Cowboys. Maybe it’s because of their 90’s dynasty or because of their claim as “America’s Team.” There’s just something about Jerry Jones and his team that just brings out the hater in me. Although, I do have much respect for Tuna and Julius Jones, and rookie Tyson Thompson from SJSU has looked impressive returning kicks. Other than those folks, I have no love for Dem Boys.

Looks like I better polish my trophy case and make room for another Walnut Ventures trophy to go with last years’. They say 50% of all your efforts in winning a championship goes to having a good draft. So, I guess I only need to put 50% effort this year in managing my team. Every time I look at my roster, I can’t help but smirk. Considering I was drafting 6 out of 10, I did pretty well…
1. Randy Moss (everyone else was hording RBs and QBs)
2. Willis McGahee (I couldn’t believe he was still available in the 2nd round!)
3. Torry Holt (I wanted to complement Randy on the other side)
4. Rudi Johnson (had him last year too, decent #2 RB. Highly underrated)
5. Brian Westbrook (A steal with Buckhalter hurt. He’ll be the workhorse for Philly.)
6. Carnell “Cadillac” Williams (I had to pick at least one Auburn RB, and who else but the one going into Week 1 as the undisputed starter?)
7. Steve Smith (Sleeper pick. He was a monster before getting hurt last year and it looks like he’s back to his old form.)
8. Muhsin Muhammad (I took this gamble. I’m hoping Kyle Orton gets him the ball easily. I’ll use him as backup for now, but it was hard to resist the WR who lead the league in yards and TDs last year.)
9. Matt Hasselbeck (Since I still needed a QB, I picked the one with the most weapons and was still available. He looks good in preseason, so far.)
10. Dallas Clark (Marcus Pollard is gone, so he should get more red zone touches.)
11. Deion Branch (Can’t believe nobody picked up the MVP of the Super Bowl after 10 rounds!)
12. Chicago D (Urlacher is back and the D was upgraded during the offseason.)
13. Travis Henry (My backup RB. I’m doubting Chris Brown can last a full season, and Henry should be a starter in most teams.)
14. David Akers (I wasn’t going to draft a kicker at all, but since he was still available, I pulled the trigger.)
15. Amani Toomer (Probably not worth a fantasy roster spot, but I couldn’t find any other good backup WRs)
16. Chris Cooley (Backup TE. He’s probably the only target Ramsey will find with that poor Washington offense.)
That’s it! My leaguemates are going down once again. It’s going to be a fun season with all the trash talking and gloating. Hopefully, I’ll be able go to some Raiders games and see my boy Moss in action.
FOOTBALL SEASON! WOOHOO! My favorite time of the year.
An Eye For An Eye
Thursday, May 19th, 2005 | Sports | 1 Comment
The Suns vs. Mavs series has turned out to be very interesting. I call it the eye-for-an-eye series, since Joe Johnson went down with a fractured orbital bone in game 2 and Dirk Nowitzki got the poke in the eye by Jimmy Jackson in game 5. It’s been a great series so far. Steve Nash backs up his well-earned MVP status with outstanding performances in the series. Even when the Mavs clog up Nash’s passing lanes, he still finds a way to beat them in different ways. A triple-double in game 5 is a testament to that.
The Suns have a chance to close out the series in Dallas for Game 6, so we may see the best game yet to come out of both teams; Dallas is on the ropes and needs to scratch and fight to stay alive, while the Suns have a chance to close it out and prevent the Spurs from getting too much rest after having already beaten the Sonics in the semi-finals.
I’ve favored the Spurs to win the West, even though the Suns have the better record. Although, nothing is better than playoff experience which the Spurs have a lot of. I expect to see some great defense by the Spurs against the Suns’ explosive offense. San Antonio will need to win at least one game in Phoenix to cancel out their home field advantage. More prognostications later, but I’ll leave you with this…Spurs win series 4-3 in Phoenix. Heat win series 4-2 against Pistons.
As, for the eastern series between the Pistons and Pacers, I just want to say thanks, Reggie Miller, for all the great games you’ve given us as the epitome of a professional NBA superstar. See you in the Hall of Fame.

I’m sure everybody’s seen it by now, the melee between the Indiana Pacers bench and Detriot fans. The 5′8″ detroit fan getting clocked by the 6′10″ Germaine O’Neal. If not, wait till my “Year In Review” flash movie comes out…I’ll have it in slo mo and looped to repeat 5-10 times.
I’m not defending any actions by the players, but some fans need to just chill and enjoy the game without getting physically or verbally abusive at visiting teams/players. Yeah, they’re supposed to be highly paid professionals and should be able to handle that sort of abuse, but in the heat of the moment sometimes anger and frustration can get the best of you, so don’t be surprised if your taunting escalates into something bigger.
Although, it’s always good to let cooler heads prevail, I say.

1. Ricky Williams retires, goes to Asia and smokes a fat bowl.
2. David Boston tears knee (out for season).
3. Lamar Gordon goes on injured reserve (out for season).
4. Hurricane Ivan hits.
5. Hurricane Frances hits.
6. Hurricane Jeanne hits.
7. Fiedler, Feeley, Rosenfels all ineffective QB’s + no running game
In conclusion, Record = 1-8 and now jobless.
Ouch…somebody give the guy hug.
