Mom Single Handedly Ruins Tennessee High School Football Team's Season

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 12:14 PM PDT

      In every town, every block, every house, there's that mom who uses facebook to brag about there kids, or how bad there job is, or how annoying there husband is. Well, one post on facebook by a mother has led the Perry County Vikings of Linden, Tennessee to drop from an undefeated record of 5-0 to a record of under .500, 2-3. The post, made by the mother of offensive lineman Rodney and Ryan Belasic, said this: " How can two boys mess up their room as badly as they do when they're only here on [caption id="attachment_132" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Ryan Belasic (60) and Rodney Belasic (75)"][/caption] Saturday and Sunday?" Seems like a harmless post, right? Wrong. This clearly shows that the Belasic brothers do not actually live within the limits of the Perry County District. TSSAA Executive Director Bernard Childress and school officials were convinced that the Belasic's were members of the Linden community. Due to this, not only was Perry County's record greatly effected, but the two brothers were both ruled ineligible by the TSSAA and were kicked off the team. Well mom, this is a lesson to you. No more posting dumb shit on facebook, especially about how your two grown boys are making messes in there room at 16, 17 years old. Way to ruin a season for a team that could've gone a long way. The only problem I have is that I doubt these two lineman won this team the 3 games they were given the loss for. Here is there game log:
Date Opponent Result
08/19 22 - 7Win
08/26 20 - 6Win
09/02 44 - 7Win
09/09 43 - 7Win
09/16 40 - 6Win  
courtesy of maxpreps.com I doubt that they wouldn't be undefeated looking at how they destroyed every team. Whatever, not my call. Good luck for these guys the rest of the season, maybe you should've followed the rules and sent your damn kids to the school they were supposed to mom.

Recaping a story I wrote about the MLB's Wild Card races

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 11:19 PM PDT

Looking back on the crazy events from the last night of baseball's regular season, I guess I have to come back and eat the words that I wrote not too long ago about the AL and NL Wild Card races. If you recall. I said that both the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves would hold on as the leaders of the Wild Card races and be in the playoffs when they started on Friday. Obviously I was wrong about both of those races and I wanted to get on here and admit I was wrong. Major congrats goes to the Tampa Bay Rays and the St. Louis Cardinals for never giving up on the race and ultimately winning the Wild Card races. Everyone wants to talk about the Red Sox and Braves collapsing and tanking in the month of September. Don't get me wrong, these are two of the most memorable meltdowns that has happened in sports history. When you have leads of 9 and 8 1/2 games like the Red Sox and Braves had earlier in the month, there's no excuse why you shouldn't be in the playoffs. But I'm writing to give credit where credit is due. The Rays and Cardinals could have easily given up on the rest of the season, but they continued to battle day in and day out and played their way into the playoffs on the last day of the regular season. So while it's easy to get on the Red Sox and Braves for failing and melting down, let's not forget that the Rays and Cardinals took care of the business that they had to handle in order to even give themselves a chance. I understand that you need a lot of things to happen at the same time for this event to take place, but from here on out we should talk about the teams that are in the playoffs. The bottom line is that the Red Sox and Braves are at home for the rest of the season and we can talk about them when spring training is about to start. I give all the credit to the Rays and Cardinals for not quitting on the season. Good luck to them in the playoffs and let the postseason begin.

Ben Wallace Keeping Himself Busy During the Lockout

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:39 PM PDT

Plenty of NBA players have kept themselves busy this past off-season, and since there is the [caption id="attachment_126" align="alignright" width="210" caption="Wallace, a defensive master at work"][/caption] lockout looming over the 2011-2012 season, they have been making sure they are busy. For instance, Andre Iguodala is interning at Merrill-Lynch, one of the many companies that helped in bringing the stock market to where it is today (DOWN). Delonte West brought his talents to a Home Depot in Boston, where he will be working and spending his time until he gets his real job back. As many of us know, many players are playing basketball overseas in countries like Russia, China, Japan, and Italy. Well, Ben Wallace (Chris Broussard voice) had other plans. [caption id="attachment_127" align="alignleft" width="215" caption="Wallace's booking shot"][/caption] Wallace, who was a force on the defensive side for the Detroit Pistons for many years, was arrested last Saturday at around 3 a.m. on drunk driving and weapons charges. He clocked in at over a .08 BAC level, which is a number believed to be well over the legal limit while operating a vehicle. Police also found an unloaded pistol in a backpack on the passengers seat of his vehicle. Police also found out that Wallace had channeled his inner Plaxico Burress, being that he didn't have a permit for the gun. We all know Mayor Bloomberg would have Wallace indicted tomorrow since he loves throwing black athletes in jail, but luckily Ben is a Detroit resident. He claims the gun is registered under his wife's name, and him and a friend left it in the car for protection while they ventured to "Club 21"... the location of this club is not known. The 37 year old Wallace was released on $5,000 bond. In what could be Ben's last year of his storied career, he is in the final year of his contract with the Pistons which is worth $2.2 million.

2005 NFL Draft Class: The Worst Decisions & Players

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 08:56 PM PDT

After reading an article about Seattle's OLB Aaron Curry being shopped around the league [caption id="attachment_118" align="alignright" width="267" caption="17th overall pick Erasmus James, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2008"][/caption] before the Week 6 deadline hits, I decided to check out previous draft classes and how awful they turned out. It's always the best feeling when you predict something when the original event takes place, forget about it, and your reminded about it. That is exactly what happened to me when I reviewed the dreadful NFL Draft Class of 2005. Rewind to April 2005. I was a 6th grader at LMK Middle School (shout out to my Harrison crew!) and was just starting to become a logical sports fan. Learning the reasons why DB's were drafted over some QB's, you know, the basic stuff. Well at that time I had become a well rounded sports fan, and was really loving football. The Giants were poised for a solid season since at the time 1 year pro Eli Manning looked pretty good his last few starts despite only winning 1 game his rookie year. This was the first full NFL Draft I watched, imagine: a young 6th grader analyzing, studying, memorizing... not tests, but the incoming class of 2005 and there stats, where there best fit was, etc. I remember saying to myself a million times, Aaron Rodgers is going #1 to San Francisco, this guy is a can't miss. Well, things clearly didn't [caption id="attachment_119" align="alignright" width="239" caption="Biggest bust of the 2005 class, #1 pick Alex Smith"][/caption] work out that way when Mike Nolan, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers at the time, made his first and surely worst pick. He drafted Alex Smith, quarterback from Utah. Everyone knows how bad Alex is, I don't think I have to prove it in this article. I said to myself "well, wait, then that means Rodgers has to be taken next pick"... Well, Miami was up and everyone and there mother knew they were taking Ronnie Brown, Running Back from Auburn. Him and Carnell "Cadillac" Williams (taken 3 picks later by Tampa Bay) performed as an amazing duo for Auburn and people were really excited to see those 2 play in the big leagues. Cleveland selects WR Braylon Edwards from Michigan, Chicago grabs Texas RB Ced Benson off the board, Cadillac Williams at 5 by Tampa Bay. And then, out of no where, out of all the research I did, the hard work I did evaluating the 1st round, I didn't have this man picked until the 2nd round.  a man who was dubbed "Pacman" Jones was selected #6 by the Tennessee Titans. Understandable why they didn't draft Rodgers, they had legend QB Steve McNair (RIP) and were a solid offensive force. Until Aaron Rodgers was picked, some notables names that were picked were Antrel Rolle, DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, and Jamaal Brown. Wait, that's really the only good players until Rodgers was picked? Come on, this is a joke. [caption id="attachment_120" align="alignright" width="300" caption="A memorable tweet from 6th overall pick Adam "Pacman" Jones... this was moments before what is believed to be his 4th arrest while in the NFL"][/caption] Aaron Rodgers was finally selected by the Green Bay Packers at the 24th overall selection, and as soon as I heard that I knew Rodgers would mold into an amazing quarterback. After all, he learned under the lingering legend Brett Favre himself. It's really funny when you look at all of the teams with Quarterback troubles now, who could've taken Rodgers but decided to make an awful pick: (1) San Francisco 49ers - Alex Smith (7) and (18) Minnesota Vikings - Troy Williamson and Erasmus James (15) Kansas City Chiefs - Derrick Johnson (21) Jacksonville Jaguars - Matt Jones [caption id="attachment_121" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="#2 and #5 overall picks Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams, who played together at Auburn"][/caption] Honestly, this draft class sucked. When the best player in the top 10 of your class is a throw up between Braylon Edwards and Antrel Rolle, there are some big problems. Despite DeMarcus Ware, Roddy White, Aaron Rodgers, Jamaal Brown, and Logan Mankins... woah, what an awful class. Wrapping it up, take a look at this fact that these morons should feel ashamed of: There are just as many pro bowlers from the 1st round of the 2005 draft (Ronnie Brown, [caption id="attachment_122" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Jay Ratliff, 7th round pick, pro bowler Dallas Cowboys"][/caption] Braylon Edwards, DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Jamaal Brown, Aaron Rodgers, Roddy White, Logan Mankins, Antrel Rolle, and Heath Miller) as there is from the 7th round & un drafted free agents from the 2005 draft (Derek Anderson, Jay Ratliff, Matt Cassel, Jon Condo, Joshua Cribbs, John Denney, Heath Farwell, Robbie Gould, Cameron Wake, and Leonard Weaver). 10 each.
