Possibly one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

Chad Ochocinco had a kick ass, environment killing, black instrument of mechanical death built for his 32nd birthday. Check it out.

When you mix the uncanny bad decision making of Terrell Owens with the Pacman Jones-esque penchant for off-field troubles…. you get Brandon Marshall.

I’m not sure why, but earlier this year when Brandon Marshall announced he had turned a new leaf and wanted to be more like Peyton Manning i actually believed the guy. This was after his arrest, suspension, and mysterious injury in which he “slipped on a McDonalds bag” and suffered a gash on his arm. I figured those incidents helped him come to the conclusion that he really needed to get things under control and become a model citizen.

BUT….

Since then he’s been arrested for disorderly conduct, had hip surgery, and is now demanding that the Broncos trade him because he wants more money.

It’s almost as if NFL owners are falling all over themselves to give a large contract to an injury prone knucklehead who can’t go a full season without getting arrested. I know this kid can ball, and he’s proved that over the last couple of seasons…. but logic tells me you don’t demand a new contract 2 months after an arrest and hip surgery.

I almost hope Denver takes a page out of Cincinnati’s book and refuses to trade him. He’ll try to hold out and then be on the field by week 2, and arrested again by New Years.

Have you ever raised your hand to give someone daps (or a high five), and they completely ignored you and made you feel stupid.?

Yeah, thats never happened to me either, but it DID happen to Chris Cooley of the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Larry Fitzgerald made one of those amazing catches he’s known for in the Pro Bowl, and Chris runs over to Larry and raises his hand for some love. The problem is Larry had something else in mind, he completely ignored Cooley and runs over and chest bumps Anquan Boldin.

He wrote a blog post about it on his website, and detailed the embarrassment and teasing it caused in the locker room:

“He left me stranded and alone with nothing to do but put my head down and feel like a total ass. I mean what do I do at that point? Go find some lineman running down the field and share an Icky Shuffle with him, I don’t think so. At least it was in the end closest to the locker room and I was able to walk straight in.

Before I was able to get in the doors Witten and Jared Allen joined me and they couldn’t even talk in between gasping laughs. I got to admit it was pretty damn funny and we joked about it throughout the halftime break. I started asking Larry and he just says Anquan’s his boy! Anquan said it was dirty though. I told Fitz that the rest of his career it doesn’t matter how good he plays, I will never remember anything besides him dumping on me in 09.”

Every since the Super Bowl ended, we’ve been bombarded with reports asking whether or not Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, and a few other free agents will return to the Cardinals next season. While it would be nice to see these men return and make another run at the Super Bowl, I know it’s pointless due to the curse of the Super Bowl loser.

I blogged about this one year ago, when the 18-1 New England Patriots lost in the big game against New York. Although Randy Moss stayed on his best behavior, Tom Brady blew his knee out in week 1 and order was restored to the universe. If one of the most indestructible teams in NFL history couldn’t do it, does Arizona really stand a chance? I don’t think so.

Let’s review the chart..

2000 New York Giants – Lost Super Bowl XXXV
2001 New York Giants – 7-9 record, no playoffs

2001 St. Louis Rams – Lost Super Bowl XXXVI
2002 St. Louis Rams – 7-9 record, no playoffs

2002 Oakland Raiders – Lost Super Bowl XXXVII
2003 Oakland Raiders – 4-12 record, no playoffs

2003 Carolina Panthers – Lost Super Bowl XXXVIII
2004 Carolina Panthers – 7-9 record, no playoffs

2004 Philadelphia Eagles – Lost Super Bowl XXXIX
2005 Philadelphia Eagles – 6-10 record, no playoffs

2005 Seattle Seahawks – Lost Super Bowl XL
2006 Seattle Seahawks – 9-7 record (made playoffs, 2nd round exit)

2006 Chicago Bears – Lost Super Bowl XLI
2007 Chicago Bears – 7-9 record, no playoffs

2007 New England Patriots – Lost Super Bowl XLII
2008 New England Patriots – 11-5 record, no playoffs

2008 Arizona Cardinals – Lost Super Bowl XLIII
2009 Arizona Cardinals – …..lets not kid ourselves

That means San Francisco will win the NFC west and return to the playoffs for the first time in a good six years. Go Mike Singletary!

Hines Ward ain’t scared of no stinkin bounty, this man blindsides defensive backs for lunch and goes home to nail Palin for dinner.

This Ravens/Steelers matchup is going to be EPIC. Hines Ward took a cheap shot on Ed Reed in their first matchup, then there was heavy controversy at the end of their second matchup…. now they meet again in Pittsburgh for the right to go to the Super Bowl.

I’m rooting for Ray and the gang.
