The Eagles desecrated Jimmy Johnson's memory with this embarrassing loss.

on Bleeding Green Nation
I was very disappointed to see that the Eagles were embarrassed by the NFL's worst team today. I hate to say this, but the Eagles looked dead today. This is a slap in the face to the memory of Jimmy Johnson, Philly's late defensive coordinator. He was rolling in his grave after seeing this performance. And you know those pink ribbons, and such the Eagles wore for cancer research this month? The Eagles should've worn pink after this perfomance, because they played like sissies. Oh, I have something for the Donovan McNabb fans after the jump.
Giving the game ball to a fan after beating the Patriots? He did not even play in the game!
That's what the Jets did after beating the Patriots. I didn't hear about Bernard Pollard getting a game ball for ending Tom Brady's season last year. I didn't hear that David Tyree got the game ball for making that "catch" that ended New England's perfect season at Super Bowl XLII. Hey, Fireman Ed: Want to see how rough and tough you are like the Jets? Come to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough November 22 and shout that J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS crap in front of Patriots fans, the greatest fans in the world. Then you'll have to walk back to East Rutherford embarrased that the Patriots will get their revenge on your dumb team.
L.A. 14, Nationals 2. Congratulations. You got Bryce Harper. And you're First in War, First in Peace and THE WORST IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

That disaster at Nationals Park against Los Angeles actually earned you a wonderful prize. Congratulations, you got Bryce Harper, the Chosen One. If you get trounced by ManRam and the Dodgers again, you'll get 100 losses, and you get the #1 pick in the draft. This blowout at the hands of L.A. reflects the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime over at the White House and Capital Hill. I hate the Los Angeles Dodgers, and this is a slap in the face to baseball fans in D.C. With the Redskins underachieving and the Wizards still licking their wounds after a 19-63 disaster, at least D.C. already has a winner: The Washington Capitals. I wonder which is higher: Obama's approval rating or the Nationals' winning percentage... Anyway, if you lose tonight, this will make the people in Montreal happy, it was 5 years ago last week that the Expos played their final game in Montreal, and right now, the Nats are not making ANY progress in bringing a winner to D.C. I hope Strasburg and Harper will help you down the road, but this 14-2 loss is another embarrassment to the city, just like the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This is one man's opinion, but Nats fans deserve better than what I heard last night and all season long.

'Memba when the Fightin' Irish got a beatdown by USC because of inexperienced or freshman QBs? Now it's our turn to turn the tide.
Trojans coach Pete Carroll announced that freshman QB/phenom Matt Barkley will be USC's starting signal caller this year. Which reminds us of Jones/Sharpley/ Clausen from 2007. This is not the Carson Palmer/Matt Leinart/John David Booty/Mark Sanchez Trojans we will be seeing on 10/17/09. Expect ND to give Mr. Barkley a rough freshman orienteering class at Our Lady's Stadium. I think Notre Dame will have its 1st win over the Trojans since '00, don't you think? I predict the Fighting Irish will sack Barkley 6 times en route to a 34-0 win, Clausen will look like Tim Tebow against the Maulauga/Matthews/Cushing-less Trojan D, the Irish will go 12-0 and upset Florida in the BCS title game. Just want to tell you Matt Barkley is going to start for USC this season. Good luck, freshman, you're gonna need it October 17 against the new & improved Irish.
And the winner of Major League Baseball Manager Idol is... TREY HILLMAN! This YouTube video is from November 25, 2007 as the manager of your Royals actually SANG, and boy, did he do well! As all of you in Royals Nation know, he turned a Kansas City Royals-like team, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters into a Japanese League powerhouse. And in Trey's last game with the Fighters, he actually sang. Listen! Haven't heard Joe Torre sing... Joe Girardi, can you sing like Britney Spears? Hey, Terry Francona! Can you do a duet with Lady GaGa? How about you, Ozzie Guillen, will you audition for American Idol next year? You gotta see it to believe it. I demand a singing competition between Gardenhire, Wedge, Leyland, Guillen and Hillman to see who is the best singer in the A.L. Central. Then he'll go up against Scioscia, Girardi and Francona in the A.L. Skipper Singoff, and maybe challenge LaRussa or Torre or Piniella in the finals. Trey Hillman really is a good singer, but not like KC's own David Cook, though. Gotta love Hillman for one thing, he can really sing!

A Jays fan from Pittsburgh since day 1 back in '77 wants to know:
by Finlay on Aug 5, 2009 7:33 PM EDT
on Bluebird Banter
How do you compute the totals for your 'Jays of the Day' and Eric Hinske Award numbers. I am doing a 2006 Toronto Blue Jays replay at http://forums.delphiforums.com/replayball/messages/?msg=18867.1 and I want to enhance my replays with your 'Jay of the Day/Eric Hinske Award' formula. By the way, I listen to Jays games not on http://www.bluejays.com (no credit card) but on AM 920 CKNX in Wingham, Ontario... I can get CKNX very well from my apartment here in Canonsburg, 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. Once again, I need help on the Jays of the Day formula so I can make my own player of the game highlights with my taabletop baseball game replay of the 2006 Blue Jays.
Tired of the real-life '09 Royals? Visit my '76 Royals blog and see if my '76 Royals can make it to the World Series.
I'm doing a replay of the first Royals team to be successful, the 1976 Kansas City Royals with an old baseball board game called Sherco Grand Slam Baseball, and this is a must read blog to get you away from the current 2009 Royals. See if George Brett, Freddie Patek, Hal McRae, Frank White, Paul Splitorff, Al Fitzmorris and the rest of Whitey Herzog's crew can bring a World Series to K.C. And I created a player that will put the Royals to the top, his name is Henry Fitzpatrick, a 6'4", 245 lb. pitcher who is pretty good. Check out my 1976 Royals replay blog and enjoy it to distract yourselves from a disappointing Royals defeat.
LEARN LIKE A CHAMPION TODAY: Notre Dame, National Champs of the most important thing about college: academics!
All 26 Notre Dame athletics programs exceeded the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate standards, and 9 teams had perfect 1,000 scores than any other FBS subdivision. Duke had 8 perfect scores, B.C. and Stanford 6, Navy 5 and Michigan 4. There was no mention of USC in that list.
I am proud to be a Notre Dame fan, and with this report by the NCAA about academic progress, Knute Rockne, Father Sorin, Father Hesburgh, Frank Leahy, Digger Phelps, Lou Holtz and all of Notre Dame Nation are proud of Father Jenkins, Jack Swarbrick, Charlie Weis, Mike Brey and the athletes of Notre Dame. I'm proud to be an Irish fan thanks to this.
GO IRISH, #1 in academic progress!

WRAL morning show team wears Pens jerseys, losing a bet to KDKA morning show team.

on Canes Country
http://www.wral.com/news/local/video/5222343/
Also, KDKA NewsRadio 1020 has Raleigh native Bill Cowher (former Steelers coach) getting lambasted for following the 'Canes after an interview on National TV. Strange thing is Cowher can be seen on WRAL and KDKA, because he is an analyst for CBS' THE NFL TODAY.
What do you think, Caniacs, about Bill Cowher, and the WRAL morning show hosts wearing Penguins jerseys?
Hopefully, 2009-2010 will bring you a Stanley Cup.
The WWE has just mocked Stan Kroenke right now....

on Denver Stiffs
I have a bad feeling the WWE is going to make fun of the Nuggets and the NBA. I just saw this minutes ago on USA Network. I hope the Denver media, the Rocky, the Post, KWGN, KCNC, KUSA and KDVR see this. This is a slap in the face to Mr. Kroenke, the Nuggets, the NBA and David Stern. Seeing Kroenke being imitated is a slap in the fact to this franchise, and is uncalled for. I think the Nuggets and the NBA should have a lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment for what's happening now on Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles. We NBA fans should boycott the WWE and USA Networ for this.
Even though the Rays lost last night, do remember this...

The 1991 Braves (first team to go from worst record in baseball to being in the World Series) lost that year's Fall Classic, but would appear in 4 more World Series in the next 8 years. They would also win the National League East for 15 consecutive seasons. If the '91 Braves can do it, then the '08 Rays can be part of a new dynasty that will continue the great story of 2008.
The Rays will begin their A.L. title defense April 6th, 2009 at Fenway Park against the Red Sox, and a week later, the Rays will raise their A.L. Champions banner and recieve their A.L. Championship rings at their home opener against the Yankees, April 13-15 at the Trop. Is anyone in Rays Nation attending the A.L. Champions celebration later this week? And is anyone attending the Rays' first home series to see the A.L. Champions banner and the Rays get their rings?
Anyway, here's hoping that the Rays shine on for years to come!
Let's see if Phillies fans can attack Bud Selig, anyone from FOX Sports or some reporter from WFLA, WTSP, WTVT or WFTS.
John Romano's article that was in yesterday's St. Petersburg Times. Memo to Mr. Selig: This is why you are a failure as Commissioner, after Phillies fans attacked Rays fans at the World Series. And because Philadelphia has a mayor who is a Democrat, and a governor (who is from Philly) who's a Democrat, because of you stupid Phillies fans (who are brainwashed by your rabid support of your teams, and your mayor or governor is doing nothing about it), I'm voting for McCain and Palin. I hope Selig gets a taste of what Phillies fans do to visiting teams' fans, because he dropped the ball on fan violence. It's time George W. Bush should be our next Commissioner of Baseball, because fan violence at MLB parks are turning into battlefields like Iraq and Afghanistan. Because of Phillies fans, Bud Selig, you are through as Commissioner. Go back to selling used cars, and don't sell Chevys (official car of MLB), go sell a Yugo!
To the 16-year old in Florence, Kentucky who was assaulted by Chris Henry last year:
by Finlay on Oct 14, 2008 12:36 PM EDT
on Cincy Jungle
You and your family should take action more than press charges against Chris Henry and Reggie McNeill. You could:
1. Move far away from Chris Henry, like move to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis or Baltimore, so you won't have to deal with him again.
2. Hope the Bengals lose every game, that will teach Chris to behave.
3. For the 16-year old kid: if his school is having the "Take an NFL Player to School" program, don't invite a Bengal, invite a Steeler, Brown or Raven, or Commissioner Goodell.
or
4. HAVE THE VICTIM'S PARENTS WORK FOR COMMISSIONER GOODELL SO THAT GOODELL CAN BUST OTHER NFL PLAYERS DOING BAD THINGS.
I think the kid should take action rather than press charges. I think he would do well on The NFL Today, Fox NFL Sunday and Football Night in America. That will give the kid a chance to enjoy football, other than the Chris Henry incident.
If you are smarter than a 5th grader (and you are), then a Harvard-educated QB replacing a former Heisman winner WILL BEAT THE STEELERS.

I am from the Pittsburgh area, but I don't like the Steelers and their attitude. And I also like the surname "Fitzpatrick" because I am a member of St. Patrick's Parish in Canonsburg, Pa. (30 miles from Pittsburgh), and "Fitzpatrick" means 'devotee of St. Patrick.' On Sunday, a quarterback named Fitzpatrick (Ryan) will have his greatest day ever in football as he will lead the Bengals to their 1st win of '08 against the Steelers. It's just like the story of St. Patrick and how he brought Christianity to Ireland, by driving the snakes out of the country back in the 5th century. My prediction: Ryan Fitzpatrick (aka Devotee of St. Patrick) will drive the snakes wearing black and gold out of Paul Brown Stadium with the biggest performance Cincinnati fans will ever see. I'm hoping Fitzpatrick will do well against Pittsburgh, so Bengal fans can prove to Pittsburgh fans that Paul Brown Stadium is the home of the Bengals, not the Steelers. And if the Bengals win Sunday over Pittsburgh, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be Cincinnati's write-in candidate for President of the United States. After all, he's from Harvard, the same college that gave us John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States! It's going to be a great day to be a Ryan Fitzpatrick fan Sunday as Cincinnati will beat the Steelers Sunday!
6 years ago this month: Yes we can, yes we did! Just another Halo championship! From the November 4th, 2002 issue of Sports Illustrated!
I recall watching game 7, and during the postgame, MLB on FOX played a piece of founder Gene Autry's "Back in the Saddle Again" and showed Mr. Autry's picture. Not only the '02 World Series is a tribute to the Angels team but a tribute to Angels past and present. By the way, SI's Tom Verducci talks about how the Halos won the '02 Fall Classic. The cover has John Lackey and the Angels celebrating, and the headline read: "Answered Prayers! After 42 Years the Angels Win the World Series." In my opinion, the greatest moment in Los Angeles sports history!
Bud Selig, FOX, Chevy and all proud sponsors of MLB are going to be embarrassed if this happens at a Red Sox-Dodgers World Series:
Why can't George Mitchell do a report on fan violence in sports? I'm afraid if the Dodgers host the Red Sox in the World Series, these will happen, and this video from early this year is proof. And if Dodger fans attack Red Sox fans, and a FOX camera shows the action, then Bud Selig will be embarrassed, FOX will be embarrassed, and Chevrolet and the other official sponsors of MLB will be embarrassed. Why can't Selig create a fan code of conduct in MLB just like what the NFL is doing? Fans should be well behaved, and fan violence would be a black eye to all sports. And if it happens at a World Series, then MLB and FOX are to blame. And the home team's fans.
What FOX Sports won't show you when Boston and LA meet in the World Series could hurt MLB.
Bud Selig should have his own fan code of conduct rule to stop unruly fans at MLB parks. Imagine if the Red Sox and Dodgers meet in the World Series-could this happen? Mr. Selig, think about fan violence the way Roger Goodell and the NFL did or else fan violence will just tarnish the sport like the Mitchell Report last year.
Bad news for Raider fans, thanks to Roger Goodell!
If any Raider fan attacks an opposing team's fan, then he's banned for life. Raider Nation, Roger Goodell has blown you back to the prehistoric age. Raider fans, want to fight Roger Goodell? Go right ahead, you will lose.
