My T.O. rant

Here's the thing with T.O. Yeah he's a bit of a drama queen. But here's the thing with this whole situation, the Bills didn't win. So yeah T.O. is being a baby about losing his streak, but I can understand his frustration. If the Bills won and he was bitching about things, I'd just be like oh that's just T.O. being T.O. However, since they didn't, I get it. I'd be annoyed too if my team lost and I didn't contribute to the team at all. So for the first time in my life, I'm going to say, "Lay off T.O."

The blacked out Lions

Do the Lions get their first win today? The Redskins haven't looked so hot this season. Unfortunately for Detroit, if the Lions do win today, no one in Detroit will see it. So here's my problem with the league blacking out games. Can anyone in Detroit even afford to go to the game? With the current state of this economy, I almost feel bad for Lions fans in Detroit. The Lions have lost their last 19 games. That's painful enough. I understand the point in blacking games out. The teams need fans in the seats. That's obvious. But in a market like Detroit, it's hard for those fans. I read that Detroit area is expected to lose 132,000 jobs this year. That's A LOT of jobs. Detroit is suffering enough. Don't punish them because they can't afford to see their sad Lions.

Barbie's banged up fantasy team

Well this is just a Barbie's fantasy team update because I need to rant.

Starting QB: Donovan McNabb...thank you for breaking your ribs.
Starting RB: Ladanian Tomlinson....way to sprain your ankle, man.
3rd WR: Anthony Gonzalez...falling down in a heap all by yourself is obviously the most epic way to sprain your MCL
DEF: Chicago...of course Urlacher is going to sit out this season.
K: Mason Crosby...well straining your abs sounds like you just ate a little too much at an all-you-can-eat buffet. At least you're still listed as probable so I won't be too mad.

Painful team...the fantasy gods are not loving me this season.

Vick to play on Thursday

Eagles newest QB Michael Vick, who hasn't played an NFL game since Dec. 31, 2006, will make his debut with the team during their preseason game this Thursday. Reports say Vick has been playing well in practice but that's "not a game; we talkin' bout practice" (thanks Iverson). So it'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow when he's got a real defense opposite him.

Rex Ryan is my hero

Rex Ryan is just plain awesome.

"I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick's, you know, rings. I came to win. Let's just put it that way. So we'll see what happens. I'm certainly not intimidated by New England...," Ryan said previously. Now he's still going on about it; saying, "When I said that about Belichick, I'm just letting him know I'm not intimidated by him. He's got the same position I have. We're both head coaches in this league. He just happens to have a hell of a lot more Super Bowl wins. I don't have a win." That's okay, Rex. Because anytime you think you're about to become intimidated by him just remember this ridiculously funny episode of South Park, where Cartman points out that Belichick is quite the little cheater.

"Just before the last Super Bowl, Bill Belichick gathered his football players and said let’s win this one for real… Just this one time.. Let’s not cheat. You know what happened? They lost." - Eric Cartman, South Park

You've GOT to be kidding me!

As I've said on Twitter - Brett Favre retires and unretires faster than Usain Bolt runs 100m.

So the Vikings signed Favre today. *Sigh* Thanks Minnesota. So here's the thing: Week 8 the Vikings are visiting Lambeau. Cheeseheads, I'm begging you. Find as much moldy, gross, stinky cheese and throw it at Favre. Please.

I've been a bad little blogger

Ok I apologize for being M.I.A. as of late. Everyone keeps asking me about my thoughts on Vick. Well, let me tell you.

1. I'm genuinely disappointed the Browns didn't sign him. The irony of Vick playing in the dawg pound would have been awesome.
2. He spent a lot of time in jail. He's sorry. Other guys in the league have killed people (ok allegedly have killed people) and they didn't get the flack Vick's been getting. Not that I'm saying what he did was right but he served his time. Forgive him already.
3. PETA ...you piss the world off. Seriously. Everytime you throw paint on some woman with too much money's fur coat, you know she just goes out and buys another one. Therefore, you are actually assisting in killing animals too. So yeah, PETA, go away.
4. Also, another PETA thing... Dear PETA, who is crazier: you or Philly fans? I think we all know the answer. This season is going to be a wild ride.
