My Top 10 Favorite Atlanta Braves (of my lifetime)

1. John Smoltz
without a doubt the greatest Brave of all time not named Hank Aaron. watched Smoltz pitch was and always will be a thrill. if he's not in the Hall of Fame then they should burn that fucking place to the ground.

2. Dale Murphy
the man, the legend, my childhood hero. he probably deserves the number 1 spot...but Smoltz was a winner.

3. Greg Maddux
it's a toss up between Maddux and Pedro as to who the best right handed pitcher of this era is (fuck Roger Clemens) but Maddux has the hardware to claim the title. it's just too bad he wasn't more consistent in the post season and maybe the Braves would've won more than 1 World Series.

4. Ron Gant
Gant was by far my favorite player on those early 90s squads. he was a dynamic athlete and a really good guy. i was so bummed when he left town.

5. David Justice
there are sooooooooooooo many reasons to dislike David Justice on a personal level, but the dude was the Superstar we needed to replace Dale Murphy and help guide the Braves to the promised land. plus he hit the homerun that clenched the 95 title.

6. Chipper Jones
Chipper will probably go down as one of the greatest Atlanta Braves of all time. he might (should) make it to the Hall Of Fame. he's been the cornerstone of the franchise for almost the entire Bobby Cox era...but i've always had a love/hate relationship with him and the fact he's injured half the time keeps him out of my top 5.

7. Tom Glavine
ya know, he probably deserves to be way higher on this list...but going to New York and acting like a big baby at the end of his career just left a bad taste in my mouth.

8. Terry Pendelton
he was the leader of that early 90s team that turned the Braves from the laughing stock of the National League into the most dominate NL team of the 90s.

9. Fred McGriff
one of the all time underrated stars of the game.

10. Bob Horner
Bob Horner hit a homerun at the first Braves game i ever went to. that sorta stuck with me.

well you can't spell SUCK without the K & the U

man, my bracket is fucking dead.

My Only Real Thought About March Madness Opening Week

Big East = Most Overrated or Mostest Overrated?

more random day 1 college b-ball tourney thoughts

-other than Kentucky, not a single team I saw today looks like a contender.
-speaking of Kentucky...is it safe to say they have the best group of freshmen since the Fab 5?
-damn, Georgetown got thugged on. After watching them get murdered and then seeing Nova barely beat a 15 I think the Big East is looking pretty overrated so far.
-all these lower seeds winning means 1 of 2 things: that college basketball has finally eroded to the level where anyone can beat anyone...or this is just a really bad year. Probably both.
-this is the worst first day I have ever had in any tournament ever. I have a feeling my bracket will be nuked by tomorrow and then I can just ignore this tourney that I honestly don't even give a shit about.

Random thoughts about day 1 of march madness (part 1)

-I've watched about 3 college basketball games all year. This is the least I have ever known or been prepared about my tourney bracket....which should automatically make this my must likely one to win my pool.
-what the hell happened to Luke Wilson? Remember when he was an actor and not a cellphone salesman?
-with half the country out of work i'd have to guess this is gonna be the highest rated March Madness ever.
-BYU has to the be the only team in college basketball that starts 5 white guys. I feel like I am watching Hoosiers.
-Ummm. Is Villanova trying to ruin my life?
-too much pizza......
-I would rather be at SXSW than watching this
-i guess white boys can play. BYU looks like the kinda scary team that may just fuck my bracket up big time.
-Villinova is 100% lucky to have won that game. i hope next time their coach wants to make a pointless "teaching lesson" he does it in a meaningless regular season game. i can't believe i picked those turds to make it to the final four.

Fuck You Mike Vick, Forever and Ever Until You Are Dead

Mike Vick informed noted media outlet, Gangsta Grillz Radio, of his desire to play for the Carolina Panthers because of their sweet uniforms, closeness to his former killing fields, and so he can play against the Falcons twice a year.

yeah, fine, that would be awesome. that's two wins a year and if there is truly karma in the world then some Falcons defensive linemen will destroy your fucking knee and end your career with one righteous hit. that would be sweet sweet justice.

So Long and Thanks For the Facebook posts

Tyrik Rollison (did i spell that right? do i even give a shit anymore) is saying, "peace out Tigers" and transferring to Sam Houston State.

The former would be savior of the Auburn football team was last years biggest signing from a fan stand point and his poor grasp of the English language was always a source of entertainment for me on facebook. And now he's gone. THIS is why you should NEVER get too excited about a high school kid who signs with your school before he has ever played a game.

I'm sure the older elements of the Tiger fanbase will have some less than flattering things to say but I've always tried to be rational in matters like this. If the kid doesn't wanna be here than let him go. He wasn't gonna start next year anyways and he's already had a suspension and grade issues. If there is one position where grade issues should be a concern it's your fucking QB.

Dramarama before the spring game is always a good way to get me thinking about football again.

Mission Accomplished...and we still got the rest of this week for extra ass kicking.

i think, at this point, it is safe to say the world has been defeated.

Never Forget The War of 1812, Motherfucker.

USA! USA! USA!

all this dominance by the US team in the Olympics is payback from the War of 1812. suck on that, Canada! YOU BURN OUR WHITEHOUSE WE COME TAKE YOUR MEDALS.

Super Bowl Prediction

Saints 31 Colts 28

MVP Drew Brees

FUCK YEAH RECRUITING!!!!!!

you did good Chiz, you did good.

Auburn is currently ranked #3 in the country by rivals, ahead of ALL their major rivals in Alabama, LSU, UGA, & the rest of the SEC...other than Florida. they kept all their major commitments and hauled in three 5 Star Studs. if Auburn can pull in another class like this next year then there is no reason not to believe that a National Championship might actually fucking happen in our lifetime...and on Gene Chizik's fucking watch?! but i promise not to get too carried away about this sorta thing. they are just high school kids who have yet to play a down of college football but seriously with THIS much talent coming in...it's hard not to see things looking anywhere but up. if the Tigers can just hold on to their coveted offensive guru for another year then i might actually say 2011 could be Auburn's year...finally. oh to dream.

i don't know enough about recruiting to do silly things like grade the class. all i care is that Auburn found an uber-talented runningback, a HUGE BEAST LIKE QB who can start right away, lots of solid linebackers, some talented WR's, and tons of beef on the offensive and defensive lines. i would say that all needs were met. sure it would've been nice to add another one of those 5 star backs that we were after, but Dyer has been the guy since word go who wanted to come here and i see him becoming a super star. besides....we got this dude as insurance just in case:

marvel at Ladarious Phillips, your new 6 foot 1 275 pound wrecking ball for goalline stands.

2Morrow 2Morrow, i'll love you 2morrow

thank god signing day is almost here. my brain had been shutting down with lack of football related business. so far Auburn's class seems pretty locked up. Coleman and Lattimore seem to be going elsewhere...along with DJ Howard. hopefully Auburn keeps everyone else and maybe lands a surprise or two. regardless they seem ready to end up with a top 10 or even top 5 class. more thoughts tomorrow after it's all said and done.

Wow, i am actually excited about this Super Bowl

First of all, this is the first time in years that I can actually say I am excited about this Super Bowl matchup. The two best QBs in the NFL, two explosive offenses, two teams I don't loathe, a 1 seed vs a 1 seed (when was the last time that actually happened?), and no New York Jets.

Thanks Peyton for putting me out of my misery. Having to watch the Jets play football brings back too many frustrating memories of watching boring Auburn teams who played great defense and had a useless QB win games. That shit is fine for college football but I wanna see some fucking offense in the NFL. Plus Mark Sanchez would have replaced Trent Dilfer as most undeserving Super Bowl QB....and I want Dilfer to wear his crown forever.

About the Vikings/Saints game: blah blah blah, bad call, blah blah blah, NFL overtime sucks, cry, cry, whine, bitch... dude the Vikings turned the ball over 80 fucking times. They didn't deserve to win that game. Plus would a douche like Favre actually getting what he wanted actually have made you feel good? Fuck him. I'd rather root for Drew Brees anyday.

And that takes us to who I will be rooting for in the Super Bowl....Go Saints! I have no great hatred for the Manningbot. He is the greatest QB of all time (as long as he's not facing a strong 3-4 defense) but as a supporter of my own long suffering NFL franchise I am obligied to root for a team who has never won over a team that gets plenty of love and attention from the league. Besides, in New Orleans can win a championship it makes me believe the Falcons might actually pull it off someday as well.

But really I just wanna see a good game.

2010 AUBURN FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

2010 schedule

Date Opponent Location
Sept. 4 Arkansas State @ Auburn
Sept. 9 Mississippi State in Starkville* (Thurs.)
Sept. 18 Clemson @ Auburn
Sept. 25 South Carolina @ Auburn
Oct. 2 Louisiana-Monroe @ Auburn
Oct. 9 Kentucky in Lexington
Oct. 16 Arkansas @ Auburn
Oct. 23 LSU @ Auburn
Oct. 30 Mississippi in Oxford
Nov. 6 Chattanooga@ Auburn
Nov. 13 Georgia @ Auburn
Nov. 26 Alabama in Tuscaloosa

as far as schedules go, that's about as easy as you are gonna get in the SEC. all the toughest games are AT Auburn (other than the Iron Bowl). i just asked a wizard and he told me that Auburn is looking at 10 wins next year. but that wizard told me they were gonna win the national title in 2006 and the SEC West in 2008...so what the fuck does he know?

Dear Peyton,

Please do us all a favor and not pull your usual chokejob in the playoffs and beat the fucking Jets so that I no longer have to watch their boring asses anymore. Please.

Thanks

Dear Non-BCS School Who Lost Your Coach,

Please do not hire my team's offensive coordinator to become your crappy team that noone cares about's new headcoach. That is all.

For the Vols

oh yeah, don't try and steal any of our coaches either, fucktards.

Now I Really Hope USC Gets Put On Probation

i knew that douchebag Kiffin was gonna get the USC job. i bet that ESPN won't be killing him for ditching the Vols after one year like they would if he had ditched Ohio State after one season for the Trojans. i also heard them throw out the term "coming off a successful season at Tennessee", did i miss something? didn't they have the same record as Auburn during the regular season and then get manhandled in their bowl game?

you can't really blame Kiffin though...it is the best job in the country. i had spent the Pete Carroll era actually enjoying USC. Carroll is a likeable coach and i am always fascinated by teams that just fucking dominate. but with an unlikable prick like Kiffin (WHO STILL HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING THAT PROVES HE'S A GOOD COACH) running the show, they are now on the hated list.

sucks for Tennessee, but in the long run it'll probably work out for the best for them.

but Vols fans seem to be taking this well.

good sign. but i woulda gone with something more like this:


and so it goes.

top 5 names who jumped into my head:
Butch Davis
David Cutcliffe
Chris Peterson
John Gruden (since they were so all about him last year)
and Mike Leach (just fucking do it Vols, bring the Pirate to the South)

Well Now I Know Who I Hope Wins the Superbowl

you know, this year i really haven't been rooting for a single team in these playoffs. it's so far been about which team i hate the most that i want to lose, more than who i actually would like to see win....but then someone sent me this video today and i think i've settled on who i wanna see win that Superbowl trophy.



Go Chargers.

I Laughed Out Loud, like totally.

EDSB is full of truth on this post.

It'll Be Okay Tom...

sure Tom Brady just got his ass murdered by the Baltimore Ravens and had his team's corpse dumped in an abandoned building somewhere....but at the end of the day he is still going home to this:

Dallas Finally Figures Out How To Win a Playoff Game

it should have been so fucking obvious all this time to Jerry, all you have to do is get the Nuge to play "the National Anthem" and there's no way you could possibly lose a game.


uggh. a Cowboys victory means i have to hear about those assholes for another week. although, minus Romo, this is the least hateable Cowboys team i can ever remember. Demarcus Ware, Felix Jones, Jason Whitten, Miles Austin...those guys are all pretty rad. and there was a plus, they crushed the stupid ass Eagles (the team i hate even more than Dallas) and sent crybaby Donovan and that dog killing cocksucker backup QB home. so yeah, way to go Dallas. now lose next week.


also the conversation these two had probably wasn't too far off of this.

Some Dude Named Tuberville Got Hired At Texas Tech

never heard of him. somebody just told me he used to coach at Ole Miss.

OH WAIT! now i remember.

How the fuck are you gonna Win Forever in Seatle?

don't go Pete! it's fun having you in college football stealing all the recruits away from everyone else in the Pac 10.

if Pete Carroll is really leaving LA for the Seatle fucking Seahawks then USC must about to be going on some serious probation. why else the hell would you leave THE BEST JOB (yeah, it's better than Florida and Texas cuz you get to live in LA and Win Forever) in all of football? 7 million a year is a lot of cash, but seriously why would anybody wanna deal with that meatgrinder when you could live it up in the sun?

prediction: if Pete does go pro, Matt Leinart will be trying to get his agent to get him out of Arizona and into the Northwest....probably unlikely cuz it's a division rival, but still i could see it happening. also wanna bet the Saints might be willing to trade Reggie for a draft pick?

also who would replace Carroll at USC if they aren't on probation? Kiffin would be probably a stretch after just one year on the job...but it wouldn't shock me. my guess would be another former NFL coach like John Gruden...which would make me kinda sad since i think he's pretty good on MNF.

who would've guessed a year ago that Urban Meyer would retire/not retire and that Texas Tech, South Florida, and USC would all be lookin' for new coaches this offseason?

Well I Already Have One Loss Predicted For Auburn Next Year

so the Auburn vs Mississippi State game next year has been moved to a Thursday night ESPN game.

when will big time programs ever learn to JUST SAY NO! to Thursday Night!?

all it means is you are gonna lose to an underdog on national tv and get beat up in the press over it. leave Thursday night to the Big East, ACC, and the Vandys and South Carolinas. i want nothing to do with that blackhole of college football upsets.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who Wants To Get In On This Hot NFL Bust Action?

Snead is going pro? hahahahahahahahahaha. good luck with that pick for whatever NFL team is dumb enough to draft him. i see an Oakland Raiders uniform in your future, young Snead.

actually it probably wasn't the worst move in the world. this is a pretty weak QB class overall and with Jake Locker coming back for one more year, Snead could end up being the 3rd QB taken behind Jimmy Clausen and Sam Bradford. either way Ole Miss is gonna be the suck next year. so much for the Rebels becoming the NEW BIG THREAT in the SEC West. hey Ryan Mallett, i think you should go pro too.

"...A Fucking Football Team That Never Wins"

i thought i'd go ahead and note as a long suffering fan of the Atlanta Falcons that they finally posted back-to-back winning seasons for the first time ever. EVER!!!!! goddamnit, what a shitty fucking franchise. of course having their 2nd winning season in a row didn't mean shit cuz they missed the playoffs (those damn losses to the Panthers and Giants!) so yeah, all it really means is they get a lower draft pick. still i would like to believe if Turner and Ryan hadn't gotten hurt that Atlanta could've won 10 or 11 games. they had one of the hardest schedules in the league and posted a 9-7 record. they've got a lot of young talent, a legit QB (even though Ryan struggled a lot this year), and a good coach. with any luck winning seasons won't be a big deal in the future and the thought of winning a championship might just creep into my skull....if i could shake 31 years of being a pessimist out of it.

"It's Just Dances With Wolves...With Smurfs!"

not a football post, just something relevant in the world of pop culture. i saw Avatar on christmas with my family...holy shit! what a boring, trite, madlibs of a movie. the whole time i thought it was just a ripoff of Dances With Wolves....then i found this amazing piece of internet gold and thought i'd share.

spoiler alert.

Do Not Fuck With Boise

so much for TCU being more deserving of a shot at Alabama than Texas.

Boise State owns the fucking Fiesta Bowl and it owns your Mountain West and Pac 10 champs as well. any doubt in your mind that they'd beat Cincinnati or Ga Tech too if they got a shot at either of them? i think Florida will likely end the season ranked number 2, but if Boise isn't number 3 then it's a bunch of bullshit. way to go Smurfs!

so a quick question: who is the non-BCS school of the decade, Boise State or Utah? my vote is for the Smurfs.

Weirdest Bowl Game Ever or Weirdest Bowl Game Possible?

OMFG! That was about the shittiest great game I'm ever seen. It's hard to be happy about that win with the way Auburn tried to lose it in 100 ways. Again, those Big 12 refs and Big 10 homer announcers can eat a bag of dicks.

2010, way to try and give me a heart attack on day 1.

Fuck You Big 12 Refs

So many retarded bullshit calls. Fuck this game. Fuck this bullshit. Fuck 2009. Fuck Northwestern. Fuck stupid turnovers and penalties. Fuck all this fucking shitty game. Fuck nerds. Fuck you. Fuck me. Fuck football. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big 10 Homer Douchebags. reason #4 that i hate ESPN

Could these announcers be openly rooting harder for Northwestern to beat Auburn? I feel like this game might as well be on the Big 10 Network.

Also Auburn's habit of laying down and letting nerd schools hang around with them (and losing those games) is beyond infuriating.

I just want this season to finish up and 2010 to start.

Please Don't Steal My Laptop, I Need It For This Stupid Blog

Happy New Year, indeed Auburn fans. We got ourselves a legit QB for the 2010 season after Cam Newton officially commited yesterday. AWESOME! So yeah Auburn instantly becomes a possible SEC West contender just by landing the 5 star dual threat beast of a QB to run the Spread Eagle (it really never gets old saying that.)

Yes Cam Newton comes with some baggage, but honestly I could give a shit, he gives the Tigers a better shot of winning the next two seasons than we would've had. It also gives Rollison extra time to get his shit together or for Auburn to groom another QB in two seasons. Either way the Tigers enter 2010 without the biggest question mark of all hanging over their head for the first time in 2 years.

War Eagle.
