How good will Patriots offense be at Super Bowl XLII?

Now THAT is probably the question people ask more this year than asking for the next Britney meltdown.

Because quite frankly, the Patriots offense has been good, REALLY REALLY good. Hell, these guys didn't earn their Super Bowl XLII tickets for nothing and it is because of that ridiculously talented offense that got them to the big dance.

And in case you haven't heard about it by now, these New England Patriots, along with their talented offense, will be taking on Eli Manning and the rest of the New York Giants in Glendale, Arizona.

With all due respect to the New York Giants fans out there, save yourselves the trouble and just go and watch something else on Sunday because the Patriots offense will just be too good for Michael Strahan's boys. You can take that to the bank.

Take Tom Brady for example. The New England Patriots quarterback had a total of 578 pass attempts during the regular season, and had 28 total pass attempts during the 2008 NFL playoffs. Brady threw over 30 pass attempts in 12 out of 16 regular season games so you can just imagine how strong that arm really is.

Against the New York Giants in Week 17, Tom Brady had a total of 42 pass attempts. Bodog has odds on whether Tom Brady can go for over 37 pass attempts at the Super Bowl against the same Giants defense, yes, that's as easy as it can get in placing a wager people.

Brady's favorite target, Randy Moss, on the other hand, is also having one helluva' year himself. Moss had 1493 total pass receptions and 98 total receiving yards during the 2007-08 NFL football season. Sure, he was not as explosive during this year's postseason, tallying total pass receptions of 14 with his total receiving yards down to 1.

However, he performed well against the New York Giants secondary back in that fateful Week 17 match-up. He received 100 yards and 6 receptions, scoring for two TDs to help the Pats win the game.

You can bet your ass Moss can score two more over the Giants secondary this Sunday.

Giants star Plaxico Burress to play in Super Bowl XLII

seth-edward-oneal.jpgI just felt the need to bring that up because this dude has been hobbling with an injury all year.

Yes, ALL YEAR people, a chronically sprained right ankle has been bothering the explosive New York Giants wideout. Hell, it has been bothering him so much that the guy opted to miss every single practice the Giants scheduled all season long. Despite that, it didn't stop him from earning a Super Bowl XLII ticket. How about that?

Crazy huh? Plaxico Burress has been on every list this season, be it on the probable or questionable sort. But surprisingly, Burress STILL became one of the main reasons why the New York Giants will be playing the Patriots at Super Bowl XLII this Sunday. So, the next time somebody tells you to practice in preparation for something, I guess you can now tell him to mind his own business and go suck your dick.

Of course, the New England Patriots will be expecting Plaxico Burress to go all out this Sunday. It will be stupid not to. It'll be hard to miss him too since he's a big 6'5'' target for Giants quarterback Eli Manning this Sunday on that field in Glendale, Arizona.

Hell, the last time Plaxico Burress was on a football field, he became the best football player at Lambeau Field, catching a career-high 11 passes for 154 yards in a shocking 23-20 overtime upset win over the Green Bay Packers to win the 2008 NFC title.

Yup, this dude is a player people.

It's hard to fathom the fact that Plaxico Burress missed a lot of the Giants' practice sessions this season and yet, still lead the team with 70 catches for 1,025 yards. Not to mention his 12 touchdowns which would be a career-high for him.

Go figure.

Mavericks visit Pistons in Detroit to become the only Dallas team we'll see on Super Bowl XLII Sunday

Sorry Romo-Nation, (that's still one of the most ridiculous fan club names in sports...) but I had to put that one in.

While majority of the sporting public will probably be cashing in their Super Bowl XLII ticket to see the Patriots play the Giants at the Super Bowl, Dallas will STILL get a piece of the action when their pro basketball team heads to the Palace of Auburn Hills to play the Pistons on Super Bowl Sunday.

And in case you didn't get that, the Dallas Cowboys are still worthless in the postseason. Thanks to Tony Romo buckling under pressure for the second straight year. The Dallas Mavericks on the other hand, will be looking to wipe that sour taste of defeat the last time they were on the hardwood.

You see, the last time the Dallas Mavericks played on a basketball court, they blew it at the TD Banknorth Garden, losing to the Boston Celtics despite the fact that Boston's newest hero, Kevin Garnett, wasn't playing.

The Boston Celtics snapped Dallas' four-game winning streak after scoring the game's last six points to win without Garnett, 96-90. Dallas' loss also made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson won't be coaching anything at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans.

''It was a well-fought game, and neither team gave the other team much. I had the rebound in my hand when it was a tie game, and Rondo came out of nowhere. I didn't even see him, and he snuck it up to the basket before I could react,'' Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki said, referring to Rajon Rondo's go-ahead lay-up after he snatched the rebound away from the German to give the Celtics a 92-90 lead.

Boston never looked back since.

It doesn't get any easier for the Dallas Mavericks too as they have a date with the Detroit Pistons, another Eastern Conference powerhouse, after taking on the current kings of the East from Boston.

And although we will all be probably watching the Patriots and the Giants this weekend, it should still be nice knowing that a Dallas team will be playing on Super Bowl Sunday, even though there won't be any Tony Romo or T.O.

Miami Heat star Shaquille O'Neal retires

Just kidding... Hee hee... But hey, we want him to.

In case you were not really paying that much attention to the 2007-08 NBA basketball season, the Miami Heat just can't do anything right lately, probably missing out on the playoffs already this early into the season after losing half of the games a team can play in one full season.

As for Miami Heat superstar Shaquille O'Neal, his stock has decreased so much this year that people are starting to value a Kris Humpries more than the guy once dubbed as the ''Most Dominant Player in the NBA.''

It probably has something to do with the number of times he left the Miami Heat roster because of various injuries. Yep, Shaq sure did went in and out of the lineup so much this season that it can make your head spin.

Shaq can't blame the people if they are already expecting him to retire right? Well, as far as this seven-foot pile of sit is concerned, he's not ready to retire just yet.

Shaquille O'Neal was asked this question and his response was, ''No, never that. I am the son of an army drill sergeant, and when we enlist, we go full term.''

What the fuck does that mean?

''So I've got two years left on my term, and after that, I'll be looking to do other things.''

Oh I see.

NBA analysts are suggesting that Shaquille O'Neal should just retire. Shaq, on the other hand, is surprised that this retirement issue has even been raised. These analysts said that Shaq just might help the Miami Heat by retiring to clear his salary off his team's cap, giving Miami the chance to rebuild.

I say, it won't matter. Because no matter how many salaries you clear off that cap, Miami will still be Miami. Hee hee...

2008 NBA All-Star Game East and West Lineups

seth-edward-oneal.jpgOh yes, the results are in people.

And guess what, somebody was booted out of the starting lineup this year. But before we dwell into that, YES, the 2008 NBA All-Star Game starters for both the Eastern and Western Conferences are in and all the usual suspects made it. (Except that one who got his ass booted out of course...)

We're talking about Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady. Voters probably got tired of watching him hobble on the basketball court with a sore back, that's probably why they voted Denver Nuggets star Allen Iverson in to start for the West for the first time in his career.

Allen Iverson rallied past Tracy McGrady in the final weeks of the voting to earn his very first Western Conference All-Star starting spot since Philly sent him to Denver. (What a fucked-up move that turned out to be...) Iverson will now be making his 9th All-Star appearance on February 17 in New Orleans.

''It's a good feeling. I think it's a tribute to my teammates and coaching staff because without those guys none of that would be possible,'' Allen Iverson said in a statement.

''But most of all I just want to thank the fans for appreciating what I go out and do on the court night in and night out. It's just a great feeling and an honor, and I'm just looking forward to trying to play the best that I can play for the fans.''

Allen Iverson will join teammate Carmelo Anthony in representing the West at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans. And as always, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and for some reason, Yao Ming, will be starting again.

In the Eastern Conference, Kevin Garnett earned his first career start for the East All-Stars with a whopping 2,399,148 votes to lead the league in All-Star votes. He will join another Eastern Conference first-time starter, Dwight Howard.

The duo of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will be there while New Jersey Nets captain Jason Kidd completes the East's starting five.

Should the Patriots be worried that Tom Brady is injured before meeting the Giants at Super Bowl XLII?

Um... NO.

And in case that fails to satisfy you, read on. Hold on to that Super Bowl XLII ticket because this is going to be a fast one. Tom Brady doesn't care if he's hurt or not. He will play. Trust me.

Still reading? Well, in case you're still worrying about the possibility that the New England Patriots leader could be less than 100 percent at the Super Bowl, let me reiterate that Brady is durable and yes, no ankle sprain can stop him from playing on February 3.

You see, this high ankle sprain on Tom Brady is considered far less severe than the one he got from the 2002 AFC championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. You see, THAT one forced him to the sidelines and ALMOST cost him his starting spot in Super Bowl XXXVI.

Lo and behold, Drew Bledsoe returned to the bench, Tom Brady beat the St. Louis Rams defense and the New England Patriots stopped what was once dubbed as the greatest show on turf to win the Super Bowl XXXVI title.

Does that mean Tom Brady will beat the New York Giants and win Super Bowl XLII? I don't know, but he WILL show up and he WILL play. That's for sure.

Tom Brady has always been the picture of durability ever since. Heck, fantasy owners are used to seeing ''probable'' or ''questionable'' next to Tom Brady's name and yet, they don't hesitate in starting the guy for any given Sunday.

Brady has a starting streak of 126, trailing only Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Yeah sure, this injury may have caused him to throw those 3 INTs against the Chargers secondary but bottomline is, the Pats still won that game right?

Besides, Tom Brady said it best.

''I'm not worried. I'm not missing this one,'' Tom Brady said, referring to Super Bowl XLII against the New York Giants. ''I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one.''

15 Things I Love About the Pathetic Miami Heat

15 STRAIGHT LOSSES. How's that to already throw away a still young season eh?

We're still about a few games away from the halfway mark of the 2007-08 NBA basketball season and we can already probably claim that the sick fucks from Miami won't be seeing ANY playoff action this year.

Yep, the stupid Miami Heat, after Dwyane Wade fell flat on his face in the dying seconds of a 90-89 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, have now lost 15 straight games. Miami now have one of the worst records in the league, at a miserable 8-33. Yes, I'm having the time of my life this season.

Isn't it ironic that this Miami Heat team was dubbed ''15 strong'' during that year when they STOLE the NBA title from the Dallas Mavericks? 15 strong eh? He he... Somebody tell those sick fucks that there is nothing STRONG about 15 straight losses.

The San Antonio Spurs rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Miami Heat 90-89. Manu Ginobili gave the Spurs the go-ahead score with 36.5 seconds to go and after Dwyane Wade splattered on the floor like the jackass that he is in Miami's final possession, 15 STRONG became 15 WRONG. Hee hee...

Tim Duncan took advantage of a Miami Heat roster without any big man whatsoever. With both Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning out because of aging, TD dropped a double-double of 30 points and 11 rebounds in dismantling what Miami thought as ''interior defense.''

Yeah right...

Next up for these sick fucks are the Indiana Pacers. Yep, America Airlines Arena is probably getting ready to see their pathetic team get their asses handed to them by the visiting Pacers on Saturday.

Go Pacers! Fuck up the Heat like most teams do these days.

David Beckham is out to destroy the world

seth-edward-oneal.jpgDon't ask me why this is news.

But because we really have nothing else worth writing about than to write about the New England Patriots, the New York Giants and how your Super Bowl XLII ticket just might bring world peace over and over and over and over again, we're giving you Beckham, and how he can destroy the world as we know it. Hee hee...

According to Soccer America daily, David Beckham is destroying the planet. He is responsible for 163 tons of carbon dioxide yearly. An average Englishman normally produces 9.4 tons. He he... Yep, and the magazine even has reference data provided by the British environmental group Carbon Trust.

Beckham's ''Carbon Footprint,'' pertaining to the measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide, may be the largest in human history. Yes, even bigger than that made by the entire 30-man roster of the New England Patriots.

Hee hee... NOPE. David Beckham is no fire-breathing dragon yet. He's breathing like the most of us do. (Probably...) What made him a threat to the environment is his extensive air travel for matches and endorsement obligations, along with his fleet of cars and homes.

Becks logged over 250,000 miles last year as he flew back and forth between the U.S. and Europe for England's European Championship qualifiers, while also participating in a Galaxy tour of Oceania in the latter part of the year.

David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham also collected over 50,000 frequent flyer miles for advertising obligations around the globe. Collectively, Beckham flew farther in 2007 than a trip from the earth to the moon.

Imagine that.

''He should use his celebrity status to make people aware of the damage that traveling can cause to the planet,'' a Carbon Trust spokesman said, according to the report. ''With all his money he should be using it at least to reduce his own footprint. He has more freedom of choice when it comes to methods of traveling. He could also choose greener cars.''

Maybe what this guy is really saying is this, ''Fuck. I should've been David Beckham.''

Bill Clinton likes the New York Giants to win Super Bowl XLII and beat the undefeated New England Patriots

What does he know anyway right?

Maybe Bill's Super Bowl XLII ticket is so far up his ass, the dude can't think straight anymore. Bill Clinton actually thinks Giants quarterback Eli Manning can win against the Patriots secondary. But then again, he could just be trying to win some votes for his wife Hillary in New York City.

And oh yes, former U.S. president Bill Clinton will root for the New York Giants on February 3 in Glendale, Arizona where they will face the undefeated New England Patriots at Super Bowl XLII.

''They're the underdog and they're my home team,'' Bill Clinton said, referring to the New York Giants in an elementary school auditorium as he campaigned for wife Hillary Clinton. ''But I'm glad the Patriots are undefeated and I'm glad that teamwork from both teams is back at the center of professional sports.''

Bill Clinton joked that he wouldn't answer the question if asked which team will he be rooting for at Super Bowl 42. Of course, nobody asked him but he's answering the question anyway. Why won't he answer? He tells ''New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are Hillary's three best states.''

Jeez... What kind of a sick, fucked up answer was that?!? Who gives a fuck about Hillary Clinton anyway?

Bill Clinton also claimed that it was a tough decision to make because he plays golf with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. WTF?!?

Now, I wonder which team Barack Obama is rooting for?

The New York Giants, on the other hand, are still on cloud nine after their shocking upset of the Green Bay Packers to earn their Super Bowl XLII ticket. They are in position to produce one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history. That is if they can actually beat the New England Patriots on February 3.

After all, they did have a poor start this season with a miserable 3-5 record at home, facing a team that has yet to taste defeat in this campaign.

Packers - Giants: Who'll win Super Bowl XLII ticket?

It's the Packers and the Giants people and yes, I'll be rooting for Favre.

After three retirement attempts and three last hurrahs, Brett Favre finds himself a win away from punching in a ticket to Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona. How about that huh? The Green Bay Packers are rolling and they can't help but smile and say CHEESE.

Yep, you read it, the Green Bay Packers are one win away from the Super Bowl. They play hosts to the New York Giants in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field for the 2008 NFC championship game. The team that wins this one will probably play the Patriots in Glendale because, let's face it, the Chargers really won't even stand a chance in their AFC title game with New England.

The Green Bay Packers have been dominating the NFC since day one with the Dallas Cowboys. Many people were expecting a Packers - Cowboys faceoff for the NFC title with both sitting one and two in the NFC for most of the regular season.

Thanks to the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys were eliminated after the Giants denied them, 21-17, in last weekend's NFC divisional playoff encounter.

Of course, Brett Favre ain't complaining on missing out with another crack at them Cowboys because the last time he faced the Cowboys defense, he went down with an elbow injury after only two quarters, leading to a 37-27 loss to the Cowboys in what was a battle between the two best teams in the NFC.

The New York Giants defense expect to bring the same kind of heat on the immortal Brett Favre this Sunday. New York's pass rush is one of the key factors why they are where they are this Sunday.

Hell, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo experienced how dominant the Giants pass rush can be. And yep, that's why Romo is now 0-2 in postseason campaigns.

The Giants won 12 of its last 16 games thanks to that defense and, yeah sure, you can also thank Eli Manning for that. But what were the Giants doing before that, mean streak, if you will? They were losing to the Packers BIG, 35-13.

Super Bowl XLII awaits the Patriots and the Chargers

seth-edward-oneal.jpgA ticket to Glendale, Arizona is on the line as the New England Patriots play hosts to the San Diego Chargers this Sunday.

Glendale, the battleground for the biggest war in football to date, Super Bowl XLII. Many teams aspire to play in it, the big dance, where they have an opportunity to be crowned world champions. On Sunday, the Patriots and the Chargers will hope to pass one more final test before punching in their ticket to Arizona.

The New England Patriots will host the San Diego Chargers in Foxboro this Sunday at the 2008 AFC championship game. The team that wins this one will represent the AFC and play whoever comes out of the NFC at the biggest stage in American football today, Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona.

Of course, the New England Patriots come in this one as the heavy favorites. They haven't tasted a loss this season and many people are expecting these Pats to stay undefeated and win it all at Glendale.

The Patriots have already become the second team in NFL history to score an undefeated season since the Miami Dolphins did it in 1972. Tom Brady won the NFL Most Valuable Player of the Year while setting a record for touchdowns among NFL quarterbacks, not to mention helping wide receiver Randy Moss set his own TD record, surpassing the Jerry Rice for most TDs in a season by a wideout.

Crazy huh? The only thing left for them to do now is win Super Bowl XLII. Failing to do so will leave all those accolades for nothing.

The San Diego Chargers, on the other hand, caught fire at the right time. After a sub-par start to the season, the Chargers just blazed through everybody heading to the playoffs and after coming up with an upset win over the defending Super Bowl XLI champions, Indianapolis Colts, last weekend, these guys are definitely riding high with momentum now.

STILL, injuries to starters like quarterback Philip Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates and running back LaDainian Tomlinson (last year's NFL MVP...) will definitely be a huge disadvantage to the Bolts. The only thing left for the Chargers is hope Shawne Merriman's spasmodic dance will scare the Pats away.

New York Giants QB, Eli Manning, and San Diego Chargers trash talker, Philip Rivers, in Super Bowl XLII?

Well, it's a longshot but you never really know for sure.

Both Eli Manning and Philip Rivers have resurrected their respective teams after subpar starts to the season. Now, Manning and Rivers have the Giants and the Chargers a win away from Super Bowl XLII as they continue to surprise their critics week after week.

How about that huh? Both the New York Giants and the San Diego Chargers are a win away from Super Bowl XLII. If these two teams can beat the two best quarterbacks in the game today, (that is, of course, Patriots QB Tom Brady and the ultimate Packer, Brett Favre...) then we are in for a Super Bowl extravaganza that features two young quarterbacks many people probably counted out already.

First, Eli Manning. For the past three weeks, Eli Manning has played as well as any quarterback in the league.

The fact that two of those performances have come in the playoffs to put the New York Giants in a game against the Green Bay Packers and a win away from the Super Bowl is reason enough to believe that he has taken the step to become the talent he was perceived as when he was drafted into the NFL.

Oh yeah, that probably justifies why he has ''Manning'' at the back of his jersey too.

''I'm just happy he's on our team,'' New York Giants center Shaun O'Hara said. ''I know he gets a lot of criticism just because of his last name. Eli is a great quarterback. I'm glad to see him get the recognition he deserves.''

Philip Rivers, on the other hand, have done little to help the San Diego Chargers where they are at this point but luckily for him, Rivers has a great supporting cast to mask his flaws and let him shine like a star behind center.

Rivers was injured the last time the San Diego Chargers played a playoff game.

Luckily for him, he had backup Billy Volek to pick up the slack, get the win for him and just let him get his ass ready for the New England Patriots.

''Again, I hope I'm going to be ready to go. But if not, I have all the confidence and I know the team has all the confidence that Billy will step in and keep us going,'' Philip Rivers said.

It should be interesting to see whether these two young quarterbacks can pass their respective tests this Sunday.

Roy Jones Jr. V Felix Trinidad at Madison Square Garden

A few years ago, this fight would've been something to watch. This Saturday, it's just probably going to be a fight between two has-beens.

Yep, unfortunately for their fans, Roy Jones Jr. and Felix ''Tito'' Trinidad are nothing more but a thing of the past. They are nowhere near the form that made their names famous in boxing circles. For what it's worth, both Jones and Trinidad are still future Hall of Famers and nobody can take that away from them. Probably.

STILL, the light heavyweight main event bout at Madison Square Garden between Roy Jones Jr. and Felix Trinidad still has the green light (imagine that...) and we will talk about it as if it was five years ago.

Let's start with the guy once dubbed as the ''best pound-for-pound fighter in the world,'' Roy Jones Jr. After all these years, Jones still refers to himself in the third person. Like me sometimes.

''I'm going to take Tito down in four. He must go in fo','' Roy Jones Jr. said, referring to himself as ''Superman'' and telling the media that they can expect Felix Trinidad to go down in the fourth round.

At the other end, Felix Trinidad does Jones one better. Trinidad claims Jones will go down as early as round two, that's despite the fact that he had more retirements than actual fights during the last five and a half years. How in the heck does he expect to beat Jones now?

Hell, Felix Trinidad will come to Madison Square Garden and fight Roy Jones Jr. after a 32-month layoff from the squared circle. And he expects to come in and beat Jones?

Yeah sure, Jones is nowhere near the form he once was but in case Trinidad has forgotten about it already, let me remind this fool that he too, like Jones, is no longer the prize fighter. Both of them is simply, IRRELEVANT.

One thing going for Felix Trinidad is the age factor at least. Trinidad is in his mid-30s while Roy Jones Jr. is almost 40. However, I don't expect that to play much of a factor come fight night. Yeah, Syndicate don't know shit.

Take Roy Jones.

Texas Tech Red Raiders to give Bobby Knight 901st?

seth-edward-oneal.jpgBecause that's probably the only thing they can play for at this point.

In case you don't know it yet, the 2007-08 NCAA college basketball season is finally underway and the Texas Tech Red Raiders are sitting at the bottom five of the Big 12 conference.

Sure, it's still early into the season and these Red Raiders still have a decent shot of mixing it up with the best of them in this year's March Madness bracket tournament but before they start looking into that, they better start winning now.

The last time the Texas Tech Red Raiders were on the hardwood, they did just that. They beat the Texas A&M Aggies, 68-53, to give Texas Tech head coach Bobby Knight his 900th win of his career.

Sure, the Texas A&M Aggies never really had a chance on this one, getting their asses outscored 32-17 in the first half before the Red Raiders simply finished them off at the United Spirit Arena in Texas. But hey, it's still the 900th win for Bobby Knight and I reckon, he'll be going for 901 on Saturday against the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Oklahoma Sooners, despite their greatness, if you will, in football, just can't play hoops. They are the worst team in the Big 12 and it definitely looks like they will just roll over for Texas Tech.

Bobby Knight probably could care less about 900, 901 or 902 wins but deep down inside, he knows he won't have a hard time scoring 901st on Saturday against this pathetic Sooners basketball team.

''This thing never entered my mind,'' Bobby Knight said of his 900th win. ''I could care less about this. I'm just happy to get it over with.''

''I'm happy that I've been able to coach this long 'cause I've basically enjoyed coaching probably 70-30, anyhow,'' he said. ''That's a mark of longevity as much as anything so I'm just glad I've lived this long.''

Shit for Randy Moss before New England Patriots play San Diego Chargers in 2008 AFC Championship Game

Talk about some timely shit eh?

A domestic restraining order has been slapped on New England Patriots No.1 wideout Randy Moss after a woman from Florida accused No.81 of assaulting her and then refused to allow her to seek medical attention last January 6.

Rachelle Washington, 35 years old, filed a petition for a temporary injunction for protection against dating violence by Randy Moss in Broward County. The court now forbids the Patriots receiver from coming anywhere near Washington, her home or her car.

GASP! What if Rachelle decided to watch the New England Patriots play the San Diego Chargers this Sunday? Does that mean the court will stop Moss from playing?!? He he...

Randy Moss is also ordered by the court to appear at a hearing on January 28, days before the best of the AFC and the best of the NFC play in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl XLII.

Moss addressed the allegation at Gillette Stadium, saying that he never put his hand on a woman in 30 years of his life.

''All I want to say is they’re false allegations,'' Randy Moss said. ''It's something I've been battling for the last couple days, threats of going public if I didn't pay X amount of dollars. Before people rush quick to judgment, I think you need to find out the facts about what's going on.''

''I really don't know the whole story about what's being said. All I know, supposedly, I battered her, or whatever it may be, or I physically hurt a woman. Well, I want to make something clear. In my whole entire life of living, 30 years, I've never put my hand on one woman, physically, or in an angry manner.''

Moss also said that the woman asked for six figures for her not to go public. I say, she's just a Chargers fan ready to fuck up the Pats' campaign for a title.

Cowboys and Giants conclude NFL Divisional Playoffs

Yep, it's a huge NFC rivalry game to conclude the NFL divisional playoffs and decide who moves on to the conference championship.

Not bad eh? It's Dallas and New York to finish off the divisional round of the 2008 NFL playoffs. These two teams have been going at it within the NFC East for quite some time now and they have the opportunity to end the other's campaign for a title this year by winning their last rivalry game of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys host rivals New York Giants after the latter survived the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay last weekend.

Of course, the big news coming to this game is the availability of Terrell Owens in the Cowboys offense. T.O. is one of the game's best playmakers and the Cowboys need this guy if they want to move past the divisional round this time around.

Terrell Owens, the Dallas Cowboys' Pro Bowl wide receiver, who participated in a walk-through on Monday, has a sprained ankle and did not practice Wednesday. His availability against the New York Giants is unlikely to be known, at least by non-Cowboys, until Sunday. Team officials did not say Owens had a setback, but they were less optimistic about his status than they were earlier in the week.

''He's trying to get better,'' Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said. ''But this is sometimes a six to eight-week injury. We're trying to get him back in three, so that's where we are.''

Quit the bullshit man, we all know Terrell Owens will play. Sheesh...

Of course, the New York Giants see through this cloud of shit Wade Phillips cast, hoping to earn him any advantage that he can coming to this huge NFC divisional playoff game.

''He will play,'' New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said. ''There is no doubt in my mind he will play.''

Chargers VS Colts in NFL Divisional Playoffs

seth-edward-oneal.jpgThis should've happened last year.

Last season, the Indianapolis Colts and the San Diego Chargers were the two most dominant team coming from the AFC and if it wasn't for the New England Patriots beating the Chargers on their own field, (celebrating on their own BOLTS logo... hee hee...) the best AFC team last season could've been decided.

In the 2008 NFL playoffs, we will have a chance to find out just who is really better. Well, who was actually. Because in case you were living under a rock lately, the Patriots just dominated not only the AFC, but the entire league this season, whereas the Chargers struggled with a slow start while the Colts stood in the shadow of Tom Brady all year.

STILL, both the Indianapolis Colts and the San Diego Chargers will be playing for an opportunity to win the richest prize in all of football, the Super Bowl. On Sunday, one team will end their campaign while the other moves on probably to play the Pats in the AFC championship game.

The Colts come in this AFC divisional game with a monster back in Joseph Addai. However, as good as Addai has been for the Colts this season, San Diego's run defense was as good. He he... Yep, it's a good ol' fashioned offense vs. defense here people.

We all know Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning can pass the ball. That makes runningback Joseph Addai the X-factor if the Colts want to win this game. Addai added (no pun intended...) a new dimension to this Colts offense.

Yeah, sure, the Colts' run offense only ranks 16th in the league but when you already have a killer passing game behind Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning, having a running game to go side-by-side with it is not bad.

Not bad at all.

Who should you take? The Indianapolis Colts of course. These guys are destined for a rematch with AFC rivals New England Patriots since losing to them back in the regular season. The San Diego Chargers would have to fire Norv Turner and get Marty Schottenheimer back.

Miami Heat is so FUCKED that Pat Riley just might quit

Of course, with the way Miami has been playing lately, quitting just might be the best move these sick fucks can do at this point.

Arguably the worst team in the league, that's where Miami is at this point of the 2007-08 NBA basketball season. Yeah sure, there are the Minnesotas and the New Yorks of the league, but hey, everybody expected these teams to suck every year and for Miami to join them this season just makes the Heat's campaign this year that much more painful.

Now I don't know about you but I'm having a great time watching the Miami Heat fail time and time again this year. And with all the injuries they've been having too (probably to give themselves a weak excuse why they are playing like the Canisius Golden Griffins...) I reckon I'd have this smile on my face longer.

With this godforsaken team struggling, Heat head coach Pat Riley is contemplating on calling it quits (again...) by the end of the season. Riley is leaning toward stepping aside as head coach after this season, despite committing in the offseason to coach the Heat through 2009-10.

Pat Riley said it might be in Miami's best interests if he focuses solely on his duties as team president. ''But that's after this season,'' Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley told reporters, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

''That's not now.''

He was asked if he would've changed his mind if Miami has not sucked THIS BAD THIS FAST and his response? ''Don't ask me that question. At this time it's like 'Yes' or 'No,''' he said. ''There are hypotheticals in a season like this. You don't want to turn the knife too early on things. Just let things work its way out.''

Work its way out? Come on man, who the fuck are you kidding? Your sick fuckers won't be able to climb out of this shithole they're in right now and that's all I have to say about that. Sheesh...

Rasheed Wallace, Detroit Pistons visit Charlotte Bobcats

Yep, my man Rasheed is back scoring like Donald Trump on a five-dollar whore. Well, at least against the Spurs in San Antonio anyway.

The contenders in the 2007-08 NBA basketball season are beginning to take shape and as always, the Detroit Pistons are still one of the top title contenders out there that can play with the best of them.

Against the Spurs, Rasheed Wallace simply raped Tim Duncan in the post, dropping a double-double on poor Timmie of 23 points and 15 rebounds. Yep, 'Sheed sure had shades of his days with the Portland TrailBlazers, when he was simply dropping all those sick slams on the bitches.

Against the San Antonio Spurs, Wallace wasn't necessarily dropping slam dunks as if he was in Portland again, but man, his jumper was just wicked in Texas. Rasheed shot 9-15 from the floor in all 40 minutes of play for the Detroit Pistons. Duncan had no idea how to defend the 6'11'' big man.

The Detroit Pistons snapped a two-game losing streak with their win over the defending NBA champions after their incredible 11-game winning streak that topped the league. The Pistons lost 102-86 to the Dallas Mavericks last Wednesday night to kick off their latest road trip.

The Charlotte Bobcats, in all fairness to them, probably scored their biggest win of the season to date. They just brought down the current kings of the NBA, the Boston Celtics, 95-83, and it's understandable that they will welcome Detroit with a little bit of swagger.

Of course, the Pistons like their opponents to have that sense of security before they punish them hard, all night long.

Can Seahawks end Packers year and retire Brett Favre?

seth-edward-oneal.jpgOne thing's for sure though, they ended Todd Collins' career last Saturday.

And if there comes a time when Todd Collins decides to strap it up again, the Seattle Seahawks will be there to remind him how he should've walked away from the game five years ago. He he...

The Seahawks visit the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field for the NFC divisional playoffs. Last time the Seahawks got here, a cocky Rex Grossman beat them down to give his Chicago Bears a 27-24 win and I reckon they won't be getting further past the NFC divisional playoffs again.

Sure, the Seattle Seahawks were impressive against the emotional Washington Redskins last Saturday. Matt Hasselbeck just kept on firing en route to a 35-14 win for his team over Washington to earn himself a divisional playoff duel with Brett Favre.

Hell, the Seahawks were so impressive last Saturday that Matt Hasselbeck was back making bold statements again. ''I'll just say it right now. We want the ball, and we're gonna score,'' Hasselbeck said.

Ironically, the last time Hasselbeck made himself famous for making bold statements such as this one was when he made an ill-fated statement back in January 4, 2004 after the overtime coin toss that led to a wild card playoff loss to, guess who, the Green Bay Packers.

Matt Hasselbeck and the rest of the Seahawks will return to the scene of that game. Seattle's wild victory Saturday over the Washington Redskins propelled the Seahawks to an NFC divisional showdown with Green Bay next Saturday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Will the stupid Hasselbeck make yet another ''bold statement?'' Well, his teammate has.

''I'm going up there to get a victory,'' Seattle Seahawks safety Deon Grant said. ''I'm not trying to go out and party. I'm not trying to be excited by all the history in that stadium. I'm just going up there for a victory.''

And that's when you know the Packers already have this game won.

Can the Jacksonville Jaguars upset the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round of the 2008 NFL Playoffs?

Yep, the 2008 NFL playoffs visit Foxboro for an AFC divisional playoff war.

The red hot Jacksonville Jaguars visit the perfect New England Patriots as David Garrard try to lift his boys past this powerhouse team from Boston that hasn't even taste defeat yet.

Last Saturday, the Jacksonville Jaguars got things going after a shocker in Pittsburgh that they almost let slip away. The Jaguars could've easily cruised through this AFC wild card encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers but after blowing an 18-point lead, the Jaguars looked as if they were ready to give the game away.

Instead, the Jacksonville Jaguars did something that could hopefully give them another shocking W in Foxboro next Saturday, they found the ability to make plays when they needed them.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee was the hero in Pittsburgh, scoring via a 25-yard field goal with 37 seconds left. But the fact of the matter is, Jacksonville had more than a few more options to shock Pittsburgh that day.

Whether it was David Garrard running for 32 yards on fourth-and-2 on the winning drive or a ridiculously solid defense that has the ability to give the football back to you whenever it counts, the Jaguars beat the Steelers with help from virtually everybody in their team.

''These are the games that allow you to build character,'' David Garrard said. ''With the stage we're on, everything is going to be magnified, including the mistakes. But we ultimately won this game as a team. Everybody did their part.''

Against NFL Most Valuable Player Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots? I don't think this melodramatic shit will work against a team that just became the second team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to go through a season undefeated.

Jeez... These guys will lose to New England by three touchdowns.
