We here at the Terrible Blog like to “Diversify Our Bonds” as the G.Z.A would say, so along with bringing you the best in insightful sarcastic sporting musings, we also indulge in matters of the podcasting variety
Over the past year my fellow sporting fanatic compadre Los has joined me in helping create the “Dame n Los” on sports show, which like the title suggests is Dame & Los discussing sports related matters. Now I’m not one for self promotion, I usually leave my ego at home and even when I’m in the residence I seem to misplace it, but I can honestly say that our show is not only insightful, its damn entertaining and worth a listen.
In this week’s episode we tackle the Serena Williams outburst, the hate everybody seems to hold for Kanye now, College and NFL recaps and previews, along with the big fight occurring this weekend.
So if you are in need of a good show to listen to, or just some nice background noise
Wow. 2 Monday night games, 2 potential blowouts that end up being nail biters. Prepare yourself to hear about parity in the NFL ad nauseum.
It's nice to continue the Steelers streak of opening week victories. It's less awesome to lose your most important (sorry James Harrison) defensive player to a lengthy injury in the first half. And it's downright horrifying to see signs that your ground game is about as effective as some of the early treatments for syphilis.
This week the Steelers take on the Urlacher-less Chicago bears. Let's hope that Cutler plays as well as he did against the Packers Sunday night.
ESPN: James Walker disagrees with CBSSports.com columnist Sonny Amato about whether the Steelers can/will run the no-huddle offense more.
All eyes will be on Pittsburgh next week as we host the G-20 Summit next week. Hopefully all the big wigs will watch this video clip to get a feel for the place.
Ed Bouchette from the PG just posted on the PG site that Troy Polamalu's injury isn't as serious as initially feared..
Troy Polamalu, speaking for the first time publicly since his left knee was injured in the Steelers season-opener last Thursday, said he feels fortunate it was not more serious.
Polamalu confirmed that it will take between three and six weeks to recover from the sprained MCL in his left knee. He said no surgery is required.
"Regarding an injury to the knee, this is the best-case scenario," Polamalu said in the Steelers locker room this afternoon.
He wore a brace on the injured knee and said the only rehabilitation he will do for now is "just rest."
Polamalu's knee was injured as he tried to recover the ball after Aaron Smith blocked a Tennessee field goal attempt in the second quarter. Titans' tight end Alge Crumpler fell on Polamalu's knee
As the great (overrated?) poet Tupac Shakur once said “Revenge is the sweetest joy next to the first Sunday of the NFL season”. Wait what? Never mind then, lets just get into the joyous festivities…
Maybe Adrian Peterson isn’t Human. There is no way you should be able stiff arm a man who is to the right of you, well into the side line on your left side which is a good distance away from you both. Film Study is going to suck for this week for Eric Wright.
What kind of genius juice is Pete Carmichael, Jr drinking? Who the hell is Pete Carmichael Jr you ask? He’s a nobody really, who just happens to be the offensive coordinator for New Orleans. I know the Saints played the Lions this week, but having your QB throw 6 td’s in the season opener to a cadre or wr’s with negative q ratings is more than impressive. Carmichael replaced former offensive coordinator Doug Marrone whose choreographed x’ and o’s helped guide quarterback Drew Brees to put up Dan Mario like numbers last year. Amazingly Marrone was only able to parlay his impressive work into a job with perennial football power house Syracuse. Here’s saying that the name Carmichael will be bludgeoned into your head by the Mort’s of the world as a “name in consideration” if he keeps up the good work, for an NFL job not a horrible not Big East one.
Reason # 5093802 Why Fantasy football is evil. Much like the “field” reporting by the NFL network suggested, Steelers fans can be first seen waving terrible towels during ultra sounds. Being one born a raised Pittsburgh _______ (sorry I’m no yinzer). I like you most likely are, am a beyond proud member of the Steeler Nation. I’m also a addicted fantasy football player/shi* talker. During my draft I tried entwine my Black n Gold love as much as I logically could within my fantasies. Such intentions caused me to draft the Steelers D and Troy Polamalu on one of my teams. After realizing I drafted two defensive players on my team, and the other guy would probably would gain more points for me I cut Troy right before game time for the ever dangerous Darren McFadden. Well I don’t haft to tell you how Troy looked like the perfect footballing specimen in the first quarter in the season opener, but while as a Steeler fan I was losing my mind due to a case of defense induced euphoria, as a fantasy owner who just cut Troy tho I felt like the idiot scum of the earth. Fast forward the game and the unstoppable Troy gets hurt and will be out for a substantial bit of time. The 99.9 percent of my being that is a Steeler fan, is extremely dismayed. The .1% me that is a fantasy owner yells “yes I am a fantasy genius good move by me!!!”
The early reports are in, and its looking like, I might haft to empty out one of my pockets to put my (football) hate for Matt Ryan in. I came into this year thinking that young Mr. Ryan was mostly a media creation, but his first week showing is making me feel like a spiteful old football fan that has to acknowledge that he is mad that the Michael Vick experience ride is no longer featured in Atlanta.
McNabb is so fragile. So so fragile…..
Week 1 might have been painful for Mr. Glass, but the true pain and mental torture will begin for him in week 3.
Jake Delhomme reminds me of one of those catchers who suddenly can’t throw the ball back to the mound.
As much as I want to say Mark Sanchez needs more people, he looked damn good today. The Bills suck, the Patriots aren’t anything like they used to be, and Miami looks to be very average. If the stars align properly in the AFC East sky, Mr. Sanchez could well be on his way to making the top 10 people you would like to switch lives with list.
I don’t follow nor adhere to Roger Goodell’s dictatorial, profit driven, sinister logic. Given my liberated thought on matters of pro football I espouse this truth from the highest mountain top:
“If you choose to cut down the number of preseason games it is not mandated by the football Gods that you must add games to the Regular season".
The Denver /Cincinnati game proved two things to me. The Bengals still and probably with forever suck. 2. At least one of the Broncos 4 wins this year was the result of utter bullshit. One day in the near future Marvin Lewis will turn on MSNBC hear a story about the new unemployment rates, and feel that he has a strong connection to the report.
I swear the God if I was a Redskins fan, I don’t know if I would even like football anymore.
Baltimore scored 38 points because the Chiefs suck, The Ravens gave up 24 points to K.C because things aren’t what they used to be as far as Baltimore’s D is concerned. Brody Croyle should never look good that good attempting anything.
I can’t wait to read the Chicago news papers today. Way to go Jay, keep up the good work in week 2 please.
