Smoot Reigns Supreme

If you haven't checked out JBar's blog, "Watch Chris Cooley's Draft," then you should. It's hilarious. It's priceless watching Redskin players hating on Marion Barber and Reggie Bush. Sex boat party pioneer Freddy Smoot reigns classic comments, picking "Steve 'I'll beat you up' Smith", then he claims he doesn't even need Jon Kitna because he's got Tommy Brady...oops. He tells Jason Campbell's girlfriend she's going to regret picking Reggie Bush, then goes on to say Matt Ryan ain't nothing but a "pair of shoes." When Colt Brennan picks Lendale White, Chris Cooley claims it's a "gay pick," then he proceeds to say, "I'm not real happy with my options right now" immediately before he picks Campbell, his own quarterback.

Plus, there's dumb hot chicks in the video. And, apparently, after seeing the fetish we have with Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, etc, etc, etc, Americans love watching dumb hot chicks.

So...check it out.

Plus, he's better than you at fantasy football. So take his advice.

No Fun League set to Snap

How weird is it to see a different quarterback wearing a Green Bay helmet? To me, it looks like Aaron Rodgers has no business in that color. Nonetheless, I'm rooting hard for him and I hope he does well. If anybody deserves a shot in this league, it's him. Not to many highly touted NFL players sit still for four years without making a peep. I think that says a lot about what kind of guy he is. Here's hoping Rodgers tears it up this year, and brings Green Bay back to the playoffs.

I was watching the pregame show on FOX and saw Keyshawn Johnson there. I got to thinking about the old man and I decided there has never been a player that has had so much success just from talking himself up. "Key" was a decent baller for a couple years but he was never as good as he made himself up to be. These days he's landed a gig on a pregame show where millions of people take his opinion about the sport seriously, all the while believing he was one of the game's best receivers. He ranks nowhere near the top of the game's best receivers and he said absolutely nothing smart on the pregame show. In fact, in the few minutes I listened to him, twice he stated, "I'll keep this short, I agree with Coach Dikta." Wow. Inspiring.

Along the bottom line, I noticed that they are now making fantasy "projections" for players. For example, Drew Brees is "projected" to throw for 312 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Bucs today, according to Fox. Really? I wonder who the brain behind this is, and I'd like to meet the complete idiots that actually pay attention to that stuff. We can't predict the future, folks. Neither can Fox.

I'm glad young Matthew Leinart gets the pine to start the season. Maybe this will help him come to the realization that he's not that special. Kurt Warner was in his prime six years ago and he took advantage of it. Leinart should take this opportunity to watch and learn from Kurt. He should be buying Warner dinner and asking for secrets. This is an embarrassment for Leinart, who only three years ago was seemingly immortal. I hope the playboy learns his lesson.

Any guesses as to how the J.T. O'Sullivan and Mike Martz era is going to turn out?

There was a time when I thought Chad Johnson was a great thing for the NFL. He was a great receiver with a clever attitude. He had fun, but it was a good fun. It was fun for the fans, fun for the players, fun for the media. He wasn't like the Randy Moss and the Terrell Owens of old, making headlines for being ignorant and ornery. He was making headlines because he was simply enjoying the game of football. But I've lost all hope and all respect for the guy. Why can't making millions and millions of dollars, being one of the most known people in professional sports, and playing the game you love be enough? I'm over Chad, I hope he disappears. I wish he would've kept his promise and went and played in the Arena league, or Canada, or somewhere else. Somewhere where the media could give a rats ass about what his name is. You know you're a troubled soul when being Chad Johnson, future Hall of Fame wide reciever, isn't enough attention for you. He needs counseling, and a good ass kicking.

We should hire Ditka to do the deed.

Dear Miles, Swallow your...words?

Now that the Old Indians are up I-70 and sitting underneath 60,000 people in the locker rooms of Faurot, I'm wondering if that bold prediction by Miles Edwards is starting to sit uncomfortably in his stomach. I would guess that his words are probably turning into loose stool somewhere down near his colon. But maybe I'm wrong, I guess. Maybe some of these SEMO boys are on to something, maybe they know something we don't know. Maybe MU is slightly worse than Southwest Baptist, and SEMO can pull this one out as well.

But, I doubt it. And not even anonymous' boy Dave Christensen turning fourth and ones into fourth and nines are going to save SEMO. This one is going to be sloppy, I don't care who's playing and who's not playing. The difference is simply size and speed.

The most interesting storyline with this entire scene is that the great people of Missouri have to either travel to their local Buffalo Wild Wings or pay Pay-Per-View$29.99 to see the contest. I'll spare the local television stations an ass chewing because I'm assuming there's a legal process involved that is prohibiting them from carrying the game. If that is so, then shame on the legal process. When a state has their Big 12 team amongst the nation's top ten football teams, they should be televised locally every single game. Somebody is at fault here. Although the game isn't going to be that great of game to watch, it's still a big deal. It's an event. SEMO and the black and gold are meeting for only the second time in history. Since Fox Sports Net is acting like a greedy, money loving big business, KFVS12 should have stepped in and fought 'till their last breathe to bring this game to the people of Cape Girardeau.

It's a crying shame. I come all the way home, and I can't even watch Missouri play Southeast Missouri. Pitiful. And obnoxious.

Hate to break it to you, Miles, but you're going to look like an idiot on this one. Go Tigers.
