Meet LJ's alleged girlfriend, "Havana Stylez". On Twitter at HavanaStylez: http://twitter.com/HavanaStylez 

As the meltdown occurred on Sunday evening, she was retweeting and reinforcing the slurs of Larry Johnson (while adding many more of her own).  I have no confirmation that she is, in fact, LJ's girlfriend.  This may be absolutely nothing, and I am not claiming that she is in a relationship with Larry Johnson.  For all I know, she could merely be an obsessed fan.  "Havana Stylez," aka Melly, also lists her Twitter bio as:  "I'M ONLY FOR HIM!! THAT IS THE ICON"

However, she has a recent photo of them together, her Twitter page displays both of them, she immediately retweets LJ's offensive tweets on Sunday, she claims to be LJ's girlfriend, she echoes the same themes as LJ did, she goes into damage control, she claims to be able to relay messages to LJ, and she then relays a supposed message, in quotes, from LJ to a Twitter user.  [Updated Twitter claim of a relationship at the end of the post]

WARNING: The following tweets by the self-proclaimed girlfriend of Larry Johnson contain hateful slurs.

This is it.  The new Sherm will pass play calls slowly to the old Sherm who will then slowly pass the call to the slow Jason Campbell.

Over/Under on delay of games = 94.  Seriously.

LET'S SOMEWHAT DO THIS SLOWLY AND INEPT!!!

- Feel free to use this post for any and all Fantasy Football discussion about today

So, in one of my fifteen fantasy leagues, I had a lineup decision to make this morning.   Below is how I completed the largest FAILITUDE in fantasy football history:

Me:  Hmmm.  Donovan McNabb is on my bench but he is playing the Raiders.  He is going to put up massive points.

Common Sense:  Dude, you already have Tom Brady starting. 

Me:  Oh, I know, but the Patriots offense has not been great this year and McNabb is playing the freaking Raiders.

Common Sense:  True, but "The Brady" is playing the Titans whose entire secondary is injured…and they are 0-5.

Me:  Hey, I just saw the forecast for the game.  It is supposed to be heavy rain and windy.

Common Sense:  It is Tom Brady.

Me:  WAIT!  The forecast is now for a heavy, slushy, snowy mix with wind.  I’m going with McNabb against the Raiders.

Common Sense:  Dude, are you serious?  TOM BRADY.

Me:  I’m definitely going McNabb today.

Common Sense:  DUDE??!!

….20 seconds later

Me:  You know, if it is going to be a slushy & windy mess that means the Pats will probably just throw a bunch of little screens when they do pass.  Wes Welker won’t be able to juke and cut in that.

Common Sense:  No...just stop now.

Me:  I really should bench Welker too, besides I can put NYG Steve Smith in his place.  He is going to score a ton against the Saints in a shootout.

Me:  I’m so awesome.  You're seeing this great decision making right?

Common Sense:  /snarf 

Common Sense: /giggle    Huh?  Oh yeah, I am seeing it.

This isn't a "sky is falling" post.  It is just highlighting that Clancy Pendergast's defense has been horrendous, and we shouldn't allow perception to obfuscate the numbers nor allow Pendergast to hide behind the dismal offense.

The Chiefs defense is worse than last year, or equally as bad at best.  

Why do I say this? Let's look at the yards allowed each week:

Week 1:  Ravens -  501 yards allowed

Week 2:  Raiders - 166 yards allowed

Week 3:  Eagles* - 420 yards allowed 

Week 4:  Giants -   429 yards allowed

*McNabb and Westbrook did not play

While obviously terrible individually, they amount to 1,516 yards allowed in total. 

Now let's look at the rancid 2008 Chiefs' first 4 games, over whom we are supposedly improved:

Week 1:  Patriots* - 338 yards allowed

Week 2:  Raiders -  355 yards allowed

Week 3:  Falcons -  378 yards allowed

Week 4:  Broncos - 446 yards allowed

*Brady was knocked out of the game early in the 1st quarter

The historically awful 2008 Chiefs had given up 1,517 yards total.  1 entire yard worse than this year.

The natural counterarguments have been: 

1. "But, the offense is leaving the defense on the field too long.  They are exhausted." 

2. "We've been playing against playoff teams."

3. "It's a new scheme and it takes time to adjust."

Rebuttals after the jump.
