You're in the Wrong Place Big Ben

You came to the wrong city to do this Ben, and I mean both Pittsburgh and that small town in Georgia.

The people of Pittsburgh love guys that can pick them selves back up and prove they’re a man. Proof is in Terry Bradshaw’s stats. He almost threw as many INT’s as TD’s, but he’s one of the most beloved people in Pittsburgh because when he got his chance to prove him self, he did so.

Now you Ben, Pittsburgh loved you. Pittsburgh loved when you proved wrong the entire sophomore slump jinx by winning Super Bowl XL after a tremendous rookie season. They loved that you came back from a motorcycle accident and appendix removal to become the single season franchise record holder in passing yards and touchdowns. They even loved when you dodged the sexual assault charge while leading the team, keeping them in the playoff hunt last season with numerous injuries.

But here’s something Pittsburgh doesn’t love. A guy that doesn’t appreciate what he has, and you don’t seem to appreciate anything. The out of work steel mill workers want to bash your face in with a steel pipe right now.

Now Georgia… Georgia loves to cause “out-of-towners” trouble. They like giving out speeding tickets just because your license plate doesn’t say Georgia. You have to know that Ben, everyone knows that.

So why would you pick a Georgia night club to mess with under-aged girls? Especially after the first charge! You’re lucky you aren’t in prison right now. Shoot, you’re lucky this isn’t the year 1910 because you probably would have been hung from a tree in that city.

Smarten up buddy, because believe it or not you aren’t bigger than Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh made you. If you were drafted by any other team in 2004 you wouldn’t be anywhere near the QB you are today.

All those veterans you’ve had surrounding you with the great coaches and legends. You weren’t even a game changing passing QB until 2007.

Now those stats are in Pittsburgh. Go see what your stats would look like in Buffalo. You’d probably be JP Losman right now.

Get smarter Ben, or Pittsburgh will tell you to get out. Shipping Santonio Holmes should tell you that. You better follow Goodell’s rules or you’ll be just another decent QB on a terrible team.

It’s the wins and the image that counts in Pittsburgh, and looking at your image your days are about numbered unless you start appreciating Pittsburgh.

Saints: Louisiana A-- Hole Principal

There are plenty of incidents where students are sent home for wearing inappropriate clothing to school. Maybe a girls shorts are too short, or a kid wears a **ck you shirt he got from Spencers, but this story is ridiculous.

Steve Vampran, Principal of Maurepas High School located in Louisiana, told student Brandon Frost he needed to change his shirt on Friday because it was the wrong color.

The school normally has a dress code that's enforced, but Vampran allowed students to wear Black and Gold to support the Saints in their first ever Super Bowl appearance.

Well, Frost moved three years prior to Louisiana from Indianapolis. He's a Colts fan and decided to wear a Joseph Addai jersey.

Frost told a CBS reporter, "I remember (Vampran) saying 'If you like Indiana so much, why don't you go back?"

Vampran has since acknowledged he shouldn't have said that, according to a local school board member. Vampran is yet to comment on the incident.

Frost was never forced to leave campus, but decided to because his father, Larry, told him if he received too much trouble for wearing the Colts jersey then he can head home.

Now the situation is headed into an investigation to find out whether Vampran violated the first amendment.

This is yet another example of a Principal overstepping his boundaries thinking he can enforce whatever law he chooses because he thinks the campus he's in charge of is his land.

I hope Vampran is punished for his unconstitutional act so students can finally have a victory over these power hungry faculty members that think kids have no rights.

Who Dat A-- Hole? Vampran dat A-- Hole

Bitches Need To Stop Blackmailing Athletes and Millionaires

I wrote this article as Tim Kash...

Since when did it become legal to blackmail?

It seems there's a coalition called the Nasty Ass Bitches (NAB) that have a list of men to blackmail.

Well, the newest victim just got checked off their list... Michael Irvin. In the past it's been Ben Roethlisberger, Kobe Bryant, and a ton of others.

The NAB find athletes and millionaires in a drunken state of mind, then hang their one night chiqui chiqui bang bang over their heads. When the man says they aren't giving the hors money, the NAB claim rape, make it public, and take it to court. Most of the time this causes the athletes and millionaires reputation to be damaged and their jobs to be lost.

I don't get how a woman can claim rape three years after it happened and not even file a criminal suit! How is that legal?! These women make outrageous claims of rape when they are obviously just gold diggin tramps out for the money because they only file civil suits!

Who the hell wakes up one morning and thinks... hmmm, I kind of remember like three years ago Michael Irvin did me in one night and I don't think I really wanted it to happen. That man raped me!

I know if Irvin put his sh--long inside of me I'd remember the next morning. I'd be forced to remember from the pain, bleeding, and swelling in my buttocks region.

The NAB is in it all for the money. When are the courts going to start dismissing these stupid claims and realize what’s going on?

If you been raped female dog, then report it the next day. Don't wait years down the road during Super Bowl weekend to say hey... I got raped by this millionaire athlete back in the day, it's time for my pay day. If you women are serious then tell someone the next day. That way you'll get your money sooner and it will be more believable.

I'm so happy Irvin isn't giving into a settlement and he's counter suing. It's about time one of these guys stand up for them selves because it's obvious the judges won't.

Live From Miami: The Craziest Thing About The Super Bowl

Celebrity sightings everywhere, stages on the beaches constantly, bill boards about Super Bowl Sunday all over the city. It's pretty crazy down here in Miami right now.

The craziest thing, though, is the price for tickets to the big game. Sure the game will be sold out, but at about $1,500 a piece just for normal upper deck seats is pretty ridiculous.

I was listening to the Paul and Young Ron Show, the #1 rated show down in South Florida, and they had on Late Night show host Jimmy Fallon who said it best. "You can buy a flat screen TV (watch the game) and throw it out the window (for those prices)."

It's so true. And it will be a much better view from your own living room watching the players close up in HD. Sure, you don't get the same atmosphere at home, but you don't get to watch all those Super Bowl commercials live at the game either. At least I think they don't play them on the jumbo screen during the breaks in action.

Besides, the atmosphere can be great, but with prices the way they are it's obvious the NFL wants the Super Bowl to be a corporate event. That's why they make it where ticket prices are way out of the price range for any normal sports fan. And what normal sports fan wants to party with a bunch of suits?

I call for a change in the prices. Seriously, the Pro Bowl had tickets for $30 bucks a piece, why can't it be that way for the Super Bowl? It's not like the NFL, or any NFL franchise and stadium are hurting for money as bad as the average sports fan is in this economy. The game's played for entertainment, so let the people that are the most passionate about the game be entertained in person, NFL.

Amazing Accomplishment In NBA Last Night That Wasn't Kobe's

I was watching this group of ten guys play basketball last night and witnessed something incredible.

They decided to play a game up to 11, first man who reaches that number wins. Ordinary enough.

Well, extraordinarily enough only one guy scored. He hit 11 points before anyone else on the floor could make a shot. That players name... Dwayne Wade.

He put the Heat up single handedly 11-0 to begin the game against the Bucks. It's too bad Wade was overshadowed yet again by another of basketball's elites last night when Kobe Bryant broke the Lakers all time scoring record.

Still, it was masterful to witness Wade accomplish this feat on the same day Charles Barkley told Dan Lebetard he thinks Dwayne is right now the best he ever will be in his career. I can't imagine him, or anyone, having a better five minute performance again.

It's one thing to be that much better than everyone in street ball, but when that happens in an NBA game it's special.

Even more special is the fact that Miami got blown out and Wade made just 12 points after the run. It shows the inconsistency Miami's displayed all season. One night they'll blow out there opponent, the next night they'll get blown out.

Wade is the heart of the Heat and his inconsistent play has been the heart murmur to Miami's chances at success thus far this season.

Women Say Tim Tebow's Views Shouldn't Be Viewed

Oh Timmy, will people ever stop hating you for being so genuine?

Women's groups across the U.S. want Tim Tebow's supposed anit-abortion ad scheduled to run during the Super Bowl to be cut from the rotation.

"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together," said Jemhu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center, according to an ESPN article.

Lady, the Super Bowl isn't played to bring Americans together, it's played to crown the champion of the NFL. It just so happens millions of Americans, and non-Americans throughout the world, like to watch.

So it's not okay to send a message that killing children is wrong in one man's opinion, but it is okay that Lady Gaga can perform on the MTV music awards where she's damn near naked and hangs her self at the end? And it is okay that Brittney Spears and Madonna kiss during a time when young girls are watching? Is that good for women?

Maybe she, and the rest of the people against this, don't like those acts either, but they haven't said so publicly.

And word has it that the commercial isn't even blatantly going towards one way or another.

Get off Tebow's case. Let him stand up for what he believes in. If you don't like it, change the channel.

Art Rooney’s Out To Stop All White Men’s Basketball League

This is a blog about myself playing one of my alter egos Jerry The Secretary.....

I was surfing "the internets" the other day and came across this article about the All White Mens Basketball League.

The first thought that came to my mind was, "Wow that's racist and what a surprise its origin is in the South, matter of fact the Dirty South, in Atlanta." Then it was, "that's pretty funny, I'm surprised Dave Chappelle didn't come up with it first." Then, I cringed, because I thought, "What if my boss Art Rooney saw this article?"

Well, this morning Rooney called me. He saw the article. Here's our conversation.

Rooney: Hey Jerry, you hear about this all white men's basketball league?

Me: Yes Mr. Rooney...

Rooney: No way they will get away with this! I'm putting my cape on right now and flying over to Atlanta. It's Rooney rule time!

Me: You better make it your white pointy hooded cape, sir. This guy "Moose" that's trying to start this league doesn't seem very understanding to ideas about giving minorities an equal chance at a job. And you're getting pretty old now sir, plus you don't have your side kick Chuck Noll anymore to help you out.

Rooney: Old?! You challenging me JTB?! (He calls me Jerry the Bi*** because I'm a male secretary) I still got Tomlin and I'm sure he won't like this neither!! And I've got six rings on and a mean Rope-a-Dope punch if this guy's lookin' to tussle. Pow, right in the kisser! In my day there weren't 12 rounds in boxing, we fought til the end and I won't stop til I'm dead. Ain't that evident JTB?!

Me: Sir, this isn't the 1950s anymore. This guy probably never even heard of the Honey Mooners. He...

Rooney: Shut up B! I'm going to show him why they call this Steel Town USA. I'll shove this Steel Toed Boot my dad made me back in the steel mills straight up his...
Me: Okay sir. Okay.

Rooney: Let me finish boy! Hold all my calls. Tell 'em I got some business to take care of. Rooney rule to the rescue!

Click.

Yea, I'll keep you posted.

Familiar Foes Faced Off In The Super Dome

Last night twas the first time the Saints and Vikings played against each other in a truly meaningful game, but stirring in New Orleans house were two familiar foes back in battle on the biggest stage.

Brett Favre's offense takes on Darren Sharper's defense. Where have I heard that before?
From 2005-2007 Sharper's Vikings defended against Favre's Packers twice a year in their NFC North rivalry.

These match ups had even bigger implications in a pride battle between two of the best ever at their respective positions considering both Favre and Sharper were team mates at Green Bay from 1997-2007.

Sharper was a rookie on the 1997 Packers squad that made it to Super Bowl XXXII but lost to Elway's Broncos. Sharper came just one year late to receive his ring. Green Bay won Super Bowl XXXI against the Patriots just one year prior to Sharper's rookie season.

Green Bay never made it back to the Super Bowl by the time Sharper was released from the Packers in 2004. He quickly got picked up in the worst city Green Bay wanted to see him play, Minnesota.

Sharper won these first two battles, but Favre and the Packers swept the '06 and '07 series. On December 21, 2006 Sharper picked off the old man, the only time he's accomplished that feat. But, he had to feel his prime slipping and that elusive ring seemed to lose its shine, darkening the long road towards the end of the tunnel that leads back to a Super Bowl appearance.

The Packers got tired of Favre's back and forth retirement plans so Brett went packing to New York in 2008. This proved to be Sharper's last season with Minnesota.

Now, this year Favre is in the worst city Green Bay wanted to see him play, Minnesota. Sharper moved on to the city where Favre won his only Super Bowl, New Orleans.

Green Bay fans must have been sick watching two of the best ever to wear a Packers uniform face off for a Super Bowl berth while not wearing Green and Yellow in last nights NFC Championship game.

Both Favre and Sharper's long journeys back to a Super Bowl collided head on and the way these two played it showed they knew each other's games well.

Favre threw for over 300 yards. Sharper recorded 11 tackles, his most in any game this season.
In the end, Favre's offense scorched Sharper's defense, but like Darren always does, he found a way for his team to create turnovers to come up with a victory.

Finally, Sharper got that win again in the head-to-head battle against Favre. Even though he's 3-4, losing more than he's won against Favre, I'm sure he's happy with where this last win is taking him.

Video: Father Names Son J.E.T.S to Reverse Super Bowl Curse

Just before the 2009 NFL regular season began, New York Jets fan Tom Schonberg named his new born son Jake Edward Thomas Schonberg, initials J.E.T.S.

Tom said he named his son J.E.T.S in hopes it would break the 41 year long Super Bowl drought/ curse Tom had put on the team by being born.

Tom was born in 1970, the Jets last Super Bowl win happened in 1969. Tom's always been a hardcore Jets fan and while growing up in New York Tom was constantly called a curse to the Jets organization by all his friends that were Giants fans. Below is a link to the interview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF93U2U38u8

Now, here the Jets are, just one win away from a Super Bowl appearance and just two wins away from Tom looking like the God of the Jets for creating a Super Bowl berth and championship; with little Jake looking like a savior, the Jets' Jesus if you will.

Jerry’s Jones-ing For A Successful Playoff Coach; Wade Phillips-head Screwed

Have you ever had that “someone’s staring directly at me” feeling and then you lift your head and find someone is ominously glaring at you? Then the person looks away real quick, like they almost got caught thinking out loud on how to plan your execution? You know, that same look OJ gave Nicole Simpson? Well… Wade Phillips definitely knows exactly what I’m talking about.

As if it wasn’t bad enough for Phillips and the Cowboys to be losing 27-3 in the fourth quarter of an NFC divisional playoff game, here strolls down to the sidelines owner Jerry Jones to gander at the massacre of his beloved Cowboys. It was like witnessing the colonial day cowboys being scalped by the native Indians.

It’s nothing new for Jones to migrate from his suite to the sidelines to get an on-the-field close-up perspective of the game, but it’s certainly different for him to make an appearance when Dallas is getting devastatingly demolished almost similar to those tiny Iraq towns when America shot missiles at them to fight the Taliban.

Phillips had a hole burned in the back of his head from how hard Jones was staring at him during yesterday’s melee. It looked like Jones’ head was about to explode when Favre threw that final touchdown pass to put the Vikings up 34-3 with less than two minutes left that sent Keith Brooking running over to Minnesota’s sideline to bi*** about running up the score like he was the father of a Pop Warner child whose team was getting blown out.

This isn’t the first time Jones has got that “I’m going to puke” look on his face. It seems to happen every couple years in the last decade and a half whenever Jerry starts Jones-ing for Dallas to win playoff games.

It’s been way too long since the Cowboys sniffed a Super Bowl appearance, or even a conference championship game for that matter. Jones wants results, and not embarrassing ones, especially in a season where he opened that billion dollar stadium. He wants all that money he spends to equal a championship and Phillips has yet to win one of those in his career.

Even with Dallas ending their over decade long drought without a playoff win by defeating the Eagles, I don’t think that will be enough for Jones to keep Phillips around.

When a Cowboys team goes out like that, Jones doesn’t normally let that head coach come back in. Wade’s like a Phillips-head screw driver… he’s screwed.

USF Football: Source Says Backups Speak BS; He’s Too Leavitt To Quit

Word around the University of South Florida campus is former head football coach Jim Leavitt’s “slapping” incident wouldn’t have leaked if senior wide receiver Colby Erksin remained on scholarship.

Leavitt got the pink slip Friday after an investigation determined he grabbed sophomore running back/ special teams player Joel Miller by the throat and slapped him twice during halftime of their Nov. 21 game against Louisville and then lied to cover up the incident.

Miller didn’t want to snitch and risk losing playing minutes, his scholarship, or his spot on the team so he asked Erksin what he should do about the incident, according to this Fan House report. Erksin told Fan House reporter Brett McMurphy about the conversation.

“Erksin’s mad because USF pulled his scholarship,” a USF alumnus said, who wants to remain anonymous. “The kid tore his ACL three times and USF told him to get lost.”

Erksin, originally a walk-on, earned a scholarship in 2007 for being one of the fastest kids on the team, running below a 4.3- 40 yard dash. Since then Erksin tore his ACL three times in three years.

Leavitt informed Erksin in October 2008 he wouldn’t be on scholarship for the 2009 season. Erksin took less classes figuring he would have to pay tuition, but then was notified he was still on scholarship in July ’09. Taking less classes cost Erksin a shot at a double major by December of 2009 when he graduated with a criminology degree.

This obviously irked Erksin, but this alone couldn’t get him to complain and risk losing a shot at a sixth year of eligibility with the NCAA, something Leavitt would need to approve.

Once Erksin got word of Leavitt mistreating Miller physically Erksin told McMurphy, who is known around Tampa for his negative publicity on the USF program. McMurphy previously worked as USF’s beat writer for the Tampa Tribune.

“(McMurphy) was fired a couple months ago from the Tampa Tribune for continually negatively reporting on USF,” the USF alumnus said. “His last article with the Tribune said that our freshman defensive end Ryne Giddens is a racist because he got in a shoving match with a white offensive lineman at practice and called him a cracker.”

Below is a video of Leavitt’s reaction when McMurphy asks him a positive question at a press conference.



“McMurphy hates Coach Leavitt,” the USF alumnus said. “So far since he’s worked for Fan House three of the four articles (McMurphy’s) written has bashed USF.”

Not everyone hates Leavitt. Most of the players loved him; even the athletic department loved him. He would run wind sprints with the players during practice and sprint on the field out of the tunnel for the games. He would act like Ray Lewis on the sidelines whenever something meaningful happened during a game.

Jim Leavitt is to USF as Howard Schnellenberger is to UM, but now Leavitt won’t get the chance to bring any championships to South Florida and he may not get a chance to coach again because his reputation is ruined due to an in house matter made public by two people that have a grudge against the man.

After Erksin told McMurphy the story he requested to not attend their International Bowl Game, which USF won 27-3 against Northen Illinois, because he wanted to stay back and rehab his knee. Leavitt cleaned out Erksin’s locker and threw all his belongings in a trash can.

That seems petty, but for Erksin to even request a leave of absence from a bowl game is idiotic. It doesn’t take much to fly to a bowl game with your team even if you aren’t playing, and especially if you’ve received free tuition three years straight just for tearing an ACL every season. That’s not being a team player. Really, that’s trash and obviously Leavitt felt the same way.

Miller is at the center of all this and he still went to the International Bowl Game. Not only did he go, he played! He started on special teams like he does every game so obviously this issue wasn’t that big of a deal to Miller since he played or to Leavitt since he played Miller.

Now that the season’s over and Leavitt’s gone the Miller family hired an attorney to get some money out of this situation. Leavitt is fighting the firing and the allegations.

Oh… what has college football come to? I’m not saying its right to hit a player, especially at the collegiate level, but I’m sure Vince Lombardi (yes I know he wasn’t a college coach) never had to worry about his players snitching or suing for him getting “out of hand” after a player made a mistake.
