Some baseball hindsight

As fans, everyone loves to ask "What If" in any sports situation. In fact, NESN tried to make a TV show about it and just like all NESN programs, it sucked. Notwithstanding MTV, we're talking about Red Sox and reality dating, "my old pal Fitzy," and the typical general Red Sox propaganda of course. Oh, you didn't know that the Red Sox own NESN? how could you not know? The Red Sox use it for 24 hour self promotion and yet act like NESN is just a network that covers the Red Sox. Remember when the Red Sox used to be a baseball team and not a greedy corporation out to sucker you for as much money you have? Yeah, I do. The good ole days.

Anyways, our beloved Red Sox were desperately seeking a catcher last offseason due to the fall of Jason Varitek. The three teams with young catchers that the Sox negotiated with were the Rockies, the Diamondbacks, and the Rangers. Buchholz was likely the centerpiece of all of the deals and no teams were biting considering the circumstances.

Well as it turned out, the Dbacks and Rockies may have made the right choice here. Their catchers developed and had breakout years this year. The Rockies are on the verge of taking the Wild Card and the Dbacks, while probably Clay could have helped them this year with Brandon Webb's injury, probably would take the 2009 Montero over Buchholz anyway. But now, what about the Rangers?

The Rangers were the team that the Sox negotiated heavily with. After all, they had not one, not two, but THREE catching prospects in Jarod Saltalamachia, Taylor Teagarden, and Max Ramirez. The Sox dangled Buchholz and Bowden, even Ellsbury's name was tossed around, but the Rangers didn't bite.

Well, Max Ramirez turned out to have an awful year in triple A. Saltalamachia and Teagarden split time this year at the backstop with neither impressing anyone enough to win the full out job. Yet, Texas contended up until September. What fell apart? The pitching. If there is one team that should be absolutely kicking itself right now, it should be the Texas Rangers. They passed on Clay Buchholz to keep 3 crappy catchers that had an ineffective 2009 season. With Buchholz, do they make the playoffs? Maybe not. Do they contend up until late September? Absolutely. Hindsight is 20/20 but damn Texas. You really screwed this one up by not making this trade.

Tufts is awesome? for once?

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/paper-trail/2009/09/25/new-sexual-activity-rules-enacted-at-tufts.html

That's right. If you click that link, you'll find that Tufts University is the pioneer of a new wave of dormitory reform. No, it's not some link that tells you that Tufts isn't filled with rich kids who don't know anything about reality. No, it's not some link that tells you Jewish people don't go to Tufts. no, it's not some link that tells you that Tufts has a good football team.

This link lays it all out for you nice and clear. The new Tufts law says that roommates cannot sexile eachother when they have to study or sleep. It's the best rule ever. Why? Because it implicitly states that roommates can SEXILE each other at any other time.

Now I'd love to get into details about the antics of Prescott and I and our sexile experiences that we traded. In fact, I might someday, considering the humor that can be found. Yet, the point lies here: Is this rule really necessary for Tufts?

If you went to a real school that actually had attractive girls, then of course this rule would be practical. Yet, this is Tufts. The world could not find a more unattractive group of people than the creatures that roam Tufts. I should know, I was one of them. I can honestly say that Tufts is without a doubt the ugliest school in this country in both terms of girls and guys.

Which leads me to this point, is Tufts doing a disservice to the world with this rule? In a great world, Tufts would have girls who arent ugly snobs and guys who arent deformed douchebags, but we do not live in a great world. So with this rule, Tufts is essentially attempting to prohibit and limit endangered species from procreating.

Let's face it. Without Tufts, half of the people in this world wouldnt be able to procreate. I should know. I dated a girl from Tufts for a long time and its quite obvious that just because the ugly people in this world can congregate at Tufts, doesn't mean they should all get together and have kids. The fact is, Tufts can make this rule all they want, but it's clearly an attempt to make Tufts look like a real school.

The only reason they made this rule is because other students complained. Well, I would complain too if I saw two swamp donkeys going at it 4 feet away from me. So Tufts did what they had to do and set some legal precedent over sexiling. In all honesty, it's going to set a precedent for countless schools in this country. For that, I love Tufts. But let's call a spade a spade: The only reason this rule was made is because Tufts is filled with the ugliest people this world has ever seen. Trust me, I was a part of it. But, Tufts serves as a pioneer for countless other schools in sexile reform. GO JUMBOS

Happy Birthday D

Well folks, we do alot of ripping on D but today just happens to be his birthday. We will be celebrating next Saturday by watching the Eagles take on the Florida St. Seminoles. Speaking of the Eagles, can you play worse football and still come out with a win like BC did on Saturday? Forget the Eagles. I have a mission for anyone who is reading this. Find out the total calories I consumed on Saturday.

1/3 of a large hot sausage calzone
8 Coors Lights
2 slices of sausage pizza
3 slices of cheese pizza
6 inch italian sub
footlong meatball sub

Needless to say, during the game I was often laying down and didnt even have the energy to resist Rocco wrapping his legs around me during lulls in the game. The sad thing is, rocco's crotch pressing against the back of my head watching a football game wasn't even my low point of the weekend. In fact, I won't mention any names, but let's just put it this way: Some guy walked into a convenient store, he thought the Employees only sign would lead to a bathroom, it actually led him to the freezer, he turns and faces the drinks and starts pissing all over them.

What if a thirsty customer wanted to purchase a coke and as he opened the door, was met with piss blasting in his face from behind the drinks? Actually, that wouldn't be that ridiculous to D, who after each BC victory celebrates with a golden shower. Turns out that asshole D went to the Patriots game yesterday as well. Well good for you D. We're glad that you're having such a great time.

Apparently, Rocco only finds time to blog when he's not working with the 21st ChromosomePlus crew. Or when he's only recruiting high school baseball players who have hot mothers for his Lesley baseball team. As dictator of Lesley Lynx Nation, allow me to explicitly condone Rocco's recruiting tactics. When Lesley is up 9-0 on a team in the 7th inning, I want some eye candy. Only recruiting kids who have hot moms is a genius coaching strategy. Anyways, for the time being, it looks like Rocco has been relegated to dropping weekend treats.

Which leaves it to Boosh, Jimmy, and Tyrone. Sure, Tyrone offers just as much as D but the fact is, Tyrone hasn't posted anything. If I were Tyrone, I'd post something unflattering about D. Something like this.


"Hey D. Remember when Torname threw a shoe at your face? Yeah, you're a real tough guy. Hey D, remember when you thought the MiniDisc player was going to revolutionize the way we listen to music? You're a genius. Oh hey D, remember when you spent your entire summer living in a BC storage van? Sweet life. Hey D, remember when you set off fireworks in Jimmy's backyard? And you pissed him off? So he took out a hose and soaked your bag of fireworks in an attempt to ruin them? And when he failed, you took out the biggest one you had and set it off in his street, hoping to wake up all the neighbors? You're the man dude.

I guess it's true. "You just can't give em what they get from D." I thought it wasn't possible to get less than nothing from someone, but D, somehow you manage. Happy Birthday you bitch.

Thanks For Everything Jason....

Oh my captain my captain...what a run we have had. Ill never forget when you first got traded here with D.Lowe for Heathcliff Slocumb. Even when you started off your career as a Red Sox splitting time with Scott Hatteberg and you were wearing #47. We have watched you grow into one of the premier catchers of the past 10 years and the second best catcher in Sox history. You have caught more no-hitters than anyone...ever. You are the undisputed rock of this organization....

Its time to ride off into the sunset though.

Its the 2nd inning and the Yankees have already stole 4 bases off of you. This has been the case for a while now. Yous tarted off on fire this year and we thought your bat was back, but it faded off into the sunset as May turned to June. Jason, you are everything that a team would want in a teammate, leader and captain. But you have to realize that this is it. Let Victor Martinez become the full time catcher. Teach him all you know and as hard as it probably is for you, ride off into retirement. You will never have to buy a drink in this town again, and most one day your number will be hanging up on the right field facade along with Rice, Yaz and Teddy. You are one of the favorite sons of this proud sports town. But its time to step aside..

BC Eagles Preview vs. Wake Forest

Well I am refusing to talk about last weekends game. Clemson dominated that game from jump street. The Eagles were lucky it was as close as it was. Then the disaster with all the lightning delays. Also...if anyone has a problem with what Spaz said after halftime, give me a fucking break. He said the truth and if this upsets people for him being honest and telling it how it is, then just go be a cheerleader or something.

What I did take away from last week that was a positive is that this defense is good. Minus a 77 yard punt return, they contained CJ Spiller. Clemson had no passing attack really and when they get inside the BC 30, that was it, they were settling for Field Goals. But the BC Defense can only do this so often, the offense has to start to carry its weight. The defense gets a much needed lift though with the return of middle linebacker Mike McLaughlin. He without question will help add depth and much needed experience to this young defensive group. He probably wont get the start but just adding him in the mix will make this defense even more formidable.

The big question remains to be can one of these QB's step up and take the job. Tuggle wasn't very good, Shinskie was an absolute disaster in his one series and MM got another series of just hand offs. The rumor is that Shinskie will start this week at home, but I am sure that if things aren't going well that Spaz will have a quick hook with him and put in Tuggle. MM is essentially just playing in case of a natural disaster.

The offensive line needs to play better as a whole as well. Last week they look slowed and uninspired against the Clemson D-Line. They continually got beat off the ball and always ended up 3 yards in their own backfield. They should have this problem against Wake who is very young and small up on the front. Hopefully we can get the running game going and control the clock.The more time we have the ball, the less chances Wake and QB Riley Skinner can score, and god knows they can put up some points. Our defense should be able to apply pressure on Skinner and rattle him, which he has shown in the past he can get.

Jets Wrap/Falcons Preview

Well I guess Rex Ryan is our daddy now after what he and his New York Jets Jets Jets did to the Pats this past weekend. Needless to say the rust is still fairly evident on the Golden Boy's arm right now. And in typical fashion injuries end up being a huge deciding factor in the game. The late scratch of Wes Welker was a huge blow to the Pats offense and you can tell that even though Julian Edelman had a decent game, he was no Welker. He dropped passes in key situations and more than one than once you could see Randy Moss yelling at Edelman to get to the right spot in the formation.

Joey Galloway, though it has only been two games, has been poor at best. He hasn't stretched the field like many of us thought he would when they signed him and his hands have been suspect at best. The O-Line did OK, not spectacular, but not terrible either considering that the Jets blitzed on almost every play. The running game was better, Maroney and Taylor have been a pretty good one-two punch, but there is only one problem....the Pats are giving them the ball. The need to get them more involved so when the Pats try to run play action the opposing Defense will actually bite on it. The need to cut down Brady's passes as well. As much as I have a man crush on Brady and want him to throw as often as possible, I also realize that its not best for the team right now. We need to control the ball, eat up yards, and take shots down field now and then to help out the defense, which surprisingly so far has done OK minus injuries and all the new faces. But needless to say it will get its biggest test this Sunday.

This is the homecoming for Matty Ryan as the Falcons come a knocking. To start off the season the Falcons have been firing on all cylinders on offense. There defense is fairly suspect, much like the Pats, but there is no questions that on offense they are loaded. The addition of Tony Gonzalez will only cause more problems as the Patriots D has shown the inability to cover the tight end.Michael Turner has had a slow start but without question he could have a huge day with his ability to take a beating and break tackles. Not to mention his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield as well.

The Pats will be able to handle the Falcons Defense. The should be able to do what they want on Offense and hopefully they can put up points. The key to the game will be if the Pats line backing core can contain Gonzalez/Turner, as well as can we get pressure on Matty Ice.

ITS THURSDAY.... LETS GO ROOF SURFIN'

Boosh's retirement from facebook

As many of you know, I have issued a Brett Favre retirement from facebook. While some accuse me of dropping facebook conveniently in time for droppintreats to launch on facebook, that is a falsehood. The fact is, facebook represents the largest problem we have in the world. It didn't always, but it has evolved into a disaster of self absorption and aggrandizement. I'm sure I'll activate my account again, but frankly I'd like to bask in this glory and use my deactivation as a time to offer an objective analysis of what facebook has become.

Let's face it, what once was a social networking website tool has now become a self promotional website for tools. Everybody has fallen in love with the concept that what they are doing is important. NEWSFLASH: IF YOU WERE THAT INTERESTING, YOU WOULDNT BE TELLING EVERYONE ON FACEBOOK.

So, sure, I could have just clicked hide on everybody. but why? Why should I ignore the problem? The problem isn't with facebook, the problem is with the people who use it. What happened to the good old days when it was only for colleges? All you could do was post on walls, poke, and send messages. that's it. No tagged pictures, no albums. nothing. No status messages. You could use it to contact whoever and that was it.

Of course, I won't even get into Twitter as I feel that represents an even larger problem with this world. When I think of these sites and the people who abuse them, I keep coming back to a quote from "A Bronx Tale." It's an excellent movie. It certainly has its flaws, but its done the right way. Frankly, I'd rather have a genuine movie with flaws than some glamorous Hollywood production that sensationalizes and stereotypes the daily lives of Italian Americans (Sopranos.) A Bronx Tale was perfect because it recognizes that for every Sicilian in the mob, there is an honest hardworking Sicilian American bus driver trying to make a living for his family.

In Hollywood, Italian-Americans, particularly Sicilians, are constantly portrayed as gangsters with short tempers who love to eat meatballs. We are proud of our heritage but to reduce us to nothing more than that is a disgrace. Anyways, that's quite the Rocco digression.

I thought of the movie because the local mafia boss, "Sonny" would often say "Nobody cares." So next time you post something on facebook, just try and remember that nobody actually cares what you are doing at the moment. Nobody cares what kind of day you had. Nobody cares what you are doing at work. Nobody cares about your political views. If anyone did care, they'd want to hear it from you personally. So really, why are you posting a status message? Is it for everyone? Or is it actually for your own ego? Remember, Nobody cares.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Review

With this past Sunday, Curb your Enthusiasm made its highly anticipated return to television. Sure, it was up against the Emmy's and JerryJones Scoreboard fest, but I imagine it did very well in the ratings. I'll be spoiling, so if you haven't seen it, maybe don't read this if you plan on seeing it someday.

It started off with Larry and Loretta Black as a couple, but Loretta is very sick. Potentially cancer. The doctor and Larry had a great interaction with the doctor going into Larry's fridge without asking. It was fresh, unique, and right up the Curb alley. Funkhauser comes in, making his season 7 debut in great fashion introducing his psycho sister into the mix. I have to admit, as savage as Funkhauser can be, I was really looking forward to a Ted Danson sighting.

Cheryl and Larry are split, but they meet up coincidentally at a restaurant. Wanda was back in the mix with a new fondness for Larry which either stems from Larry dating a black girl or simply being out of Cheryl's life. Maybe both. I won't imagine wanda playing an important role in this season.

Jeff and Larry were up to no good taking care of Funkhauser's sister resulting in Larry raiding Funkhauser's fridge and Jeff sleeping with Funkhauser's sister. Both of these blow back in David's face later at a dinner party.

The last notable moment probably occurs with Larry desperately trying to break up with Loretta before she gets diagnosed with cancer because doing it after she is diagnosed would be unacceptable. Larry is hit with the devastating news, not that Loretta has cancer, but that Larry must sacrifice all of his free time to take care of her; no more golf.

So all in all, I thought it was a great return and a standard episode. I have to say, the cancer news was a bit dark, even for Larry's standards, at least for a season premiere. Would the joke have worked anyway? Of course. I guess I'm surprised we weren't broken in a bit more with Larry David antics before the cancer jokes were made. Of course I was fine with it, but I'm trying to be objective here.

One interesting note here. Larry, normally extremely selfish, seemed very willing to stick up for Funkhauser's crazy sister at the dinner party while everyone else called her crazy. I wonder if Larry is getting a bit more compassionate? what did he owe funkhauser's sister?

So, we know Seinfeld will reunite this season and the table has been set. Perhaps a Cheryl return to Larry's life? Will Suzie find out about Jeff and Funkhauser's sister? When will Danson and Richard Lewis make their appearances, and most importantly, how? What role will Leon have this year? So many factors to weigh in and I have my full faith in the genius of Larry David.

TYRONE BIGGUMS to replace D @ Droppin' Treats

A character played by the hilarious Dave Chappelle known as "Tyrone Biggums" will be replacing D here at Droppintreats.com Tyrone is known for his trade mark dance seen in his picture, which is also the "go-to" move of Droppin' Treats' very own JimmyJameS out on the dance floor. Tyrone will be here with us for as long as D is on his period. So don't expect him to leave anytime soon. That's all for now.

BC vs Clemson in Death Valley...Soar Eagles Soar!

Well after another blowout win against a lesser opponent, BC heads down south to open up its conference play with the Clemson Tigers. They will without a doubt have their hardest game of the season and potentially face a Heisman trophy candidate in all everything back, C.J. Spiller.

Last week again, the Eagles ran their offensive and defensive game plan flawlessly. The executed all the way through, played 3 QB's and got them plenty of snaps and really just overall handled the Golden Flashes the entire game. In a way it was another dominating performance from the Eagles. It is still tough to get a read on this team just because we cant tell if Northeastern and Kent State are just that bad, or if BC is a little better than we thought.

For Clemson, they are a strange team. they are always a fairly decent club, but in many ways just like BC, are always one game or one play a way from really getting to that next level. On the year they are 1-1, coming off a heart breaking loss to Georgia Tech. Down 21-0, the best RB in the country C.J. Spiller but the Tigers on his back and single handily brought back this team and they actual took the lead but eventually feel to the option happy Buzz.

Kyle Parker comes in as a red shirt Freshman as the starting QB for Clemson. So far he has played OK, he doesn't have a very good completion percentage, but does find a way to get the job done. In typical fashion, like most of the B's that Clemson plays and recruits, he is a pretty good athlete but is a pure drop back QB. He has enough moves though to make a run on 3rd down or if it presents itself.

The defense is always usually pretty good, a lot of decent linebackers and defensive backs. They are going to be a hell of a lot faster than any of the other two teams BC has played, so it should be interesting to see how Tuggle and Shinskie do. Then as always, this is the first road game for this young BC team and Death Valley is one of the hardest places in the ACC to play in. Not to mention coming off of the ESPN Thursday night loss last week to GT, both this team and crowd are gonna be fired up well before kickoff.

The key though when it comes down to it is one thing, contain C.J. Spiller. He is going to get his return yards, and rushing yards, and receptions, but the key is to just to make sure to limit it so its not the C.J. Spiller show and they aren't ding a special on him tonight on all the post game shows. This is going to have to be a total team effort too, the Defense cant just assign one person to shadow him all game long, the D-Line and Linebackers have to be ready to stay in their lanes and make plays.

If BC can beat Clemson this gets them in the top 25 no question....BC 28-Clemson 24, take it to the house...

For Boston, For Boston....

A Win is a Win....

Well needless to say Monday nigh was fucking awesome. The Pats come out at home on National TV wearing their old Red Pat the Patriot uni's, Tom Brady is back, T.O. is talking shit. All the ingredients were there for an outstanding 1st game of the season. But for whatever reason, the whole stadium and the Pats came out flat. It was a very weird situation with the beginning part of the game. The stadium was quiet, almost holding their breathe their entire time the ball was snapped back to Brady hoping that each time he got hit, he was gonna be getting back up. The Pats were no different, Wes Welker and Randy Moss were dropping passes, Tom was off with some passes; which should have been expected, and the O-Line was slow getting off the ball. The Bills though came out firing on all cylinders, marching right down field for a score. Immediately, every Pats fan is nervous.

Then, as if we hadn't put up with enough bullshit with injuries and the Defense overall, Captain and freak Linebacker Jerod Mayo goes down with a knee injury....Fans all across the country of the Patriots are losing their mind. But slowly as time went on the feeling started to come back to all the units. Tom started to get more and more comfortable dropping back and finding his receivers, the backs and wide outs started making plays, the O-Line made the necessary adjustments to contain the Bills D, imparticular Defensive End Aaron Schoebel who had one hell of a interception returned for a touchdown on a screen pass.

Even with the loss of Mayo, the D didn't play too bad. They weren't good, but it was back to the bend don't break defenses that had won the Patriots 3 Super Bowls earlier this decade. Guyton filled in well in the middle but struggled getting out and defneding the screen pass, overall though he didn't play bad, he moved sideline to sideline well, and made a few tackles. Adalius Thomas played a little in the middle as well as well as rotating to OLB. He had a game that was on par with most of his career, the thing I did like to see was that they did turn him loose on the QB a few times, which they haven't really done a whole lot of in his time here. The D-Line held their own, and hopefully with the Pats getting Myron Pryor for this week that will add a little bit of depth to the line. The secondary was solid, they didn't allow any big plays out of T.O. or Lee Evans, which was obviously part of their game plan and they did a great job of it. The more I see of Brandon Merriweather, the more I think he i going to be a fixture in the defensive secondary for a real long time.

But for all this talk, all anyone really cares about is the last 5:32 of the game when Tom Brady led the Pats back from being down 11. It is almost like a movie how he is able to do this every time. And just from what some of the players have said about him coming into the huddle telling the team they are going to come back and win. I get chills just hearing that and it must be such an adrenaline rush for those players when Brady comes into the huddle and lays down the law like that. The first drive was text book Brady/Pats offense. Chunks of yards efficiently and letting your big time play makers, Moss and Welker do a lot of the work. It was also a gorgeous thing to see Brady hit Watson down the middle for that first TD.

The following play might be one of the most dumb headed plays you can make. I blame Leodis, but a chunk of the blame has to go on the coaching staff if they didn't tell him to take a knee if the ball went into the end zone. The hit by Merriweather, was ferocious, and like I said, he is starting to become that hard hitting safety like a Lawyor Molloy and Rodney Harrison the "The Hoody" loves so much. Once they got the fumble, the game was over. The Offense didn't even really need to come onto the field because we all know that there was no way that they were gonna not come back and win. And in a form of bad sportsmanship, the Pats go Brady to Watson on the same exact play. This time though it wasn't as open but Brady made a perfect throw and the catch that Watson made has to be the best catch he has made since being a Pro, and maybe in his life.

Overall the game was a story of two halves. The first half was sloppy and you can tell that the Pats were shaking off some of the rust after not playing as complete unit since 07. But the only thing that matters is that when it came down to it they got a win, and thank god Tom Brady plays for us.

Delonte West Arrested

THANK HEAVENS. Finally, this punk gets whats coming to him. My hatred for Delonte West has been a natural part of my life even when he was playing in green. He was extremely overrated and inexplicably loved by many Celtics fans. Why?

He's an extremely lazy player, he can't finish, he can't dribble. He plays marginally decent defense. He's also on Lebron's team. Speaking of Lebron, he sucks. I wish Jordan dissed him in his speech. For the second time in my life, I'm going to have to root against Shaq. I hate rooting against Shaq but it looks like the Cavs have left me with no other choice.

Do I think Lebron will win a championship someday? Yes. I mean, if Eli Manning gets to win a championship, then I suppose that qualifies any egotistical asshole to get a ring. I suppose if Lebron does win a championship, it'd be better if he did it with Shaq. That way, when Shaq retires, people can say, Lebron can't win without Shaq. Sound familiar, Kobe?

All in all, I'm pretty frustrated with the NBA and the Celtics. The NBA pisses me off because they continually raise their middle fingers to fans worldwide for their lack of apology regarding the fixed games. It's a joke how the NBA just swept this under the rug. There were countless games being fixed and nobody even cares? Second of all, the Celtics raised ticket prices. Even the blood-thirsty Red Sox didn't raise ticket prices. That says it all, the Red Sox are the greediest organization in the country and the Celtics are the team to raise ticket prices?

The Celtics championship quickly revived my NBA spirit, but I'm beginning to realize that was more hometown pride than a rejuvenated love for the game. The NBA is a joke. I miss Jordan and Bird.

AND THE D-BAG STRIKES AGAIN

Stop Mocking Billy Mays

Oh Sweet Bud Light. Trying to strike while the iron is hot? Mocking Billy Mays infomercials is pretty tasteless if you ask me.

Hey Bud Light. I know how hard you're trying to get people to like you. After all, when the so called American Beer is actually Belgian now, you kinda lose your credibility. That's right. InBev, a Belgian company, bought out Anheuser Busch awhile ago. So go ahead, keep drinking your "American" beer while the Belgians down their waffles and french fries with your money.

So when you watch Budweiser commercials talk about the American classic, remember that it's no longer an American beer. If you drink it because you feel Patriotic, the joke is on you. Of course, that's not why we drink it, so I'm really just fed up with this advertising campaign. Billy Mays is already sorely missed, and Bud Light is mocking his legacy with these stupid tailgating fake infomercials.

What the hell is wrong with advertising in general these days? Who the hell gets these jobs? Why are commercials so friggin awful? Look at this fuckin guy.


HEY DAN HESSE. SHUT UP. Stop getting on commercials for Sprint and lecturing America on why Sprint is so great. Hire some god damn actors and make a commercial. Don't condescend to the American public and act like you can relate to them. They sit in traffic, go to work every day, and struggle to pay off 2 mortgages while you take your private jet and your father's inheritance and blow it in Las Vegas strip clubs.

What the hell is your problem dude? Nobody wants to listen to the CEO of some conglomerate corporation trying to relate to them. What kind of advertising is that? Nobody can relate to you. Nobody wants to listen to you. Hire some actors. hire some funny writers. In the meantime, get the hell off my TV.

Nobody cares how close you live to NYC

What is it with people from the Tri State area? Anytime I meet someone from NY, Northern New Jersey or Southwestern CT, the first thing I learn about them after their name is how close they live to the city. Usually, I find out how often they go to the city in the next couple of exchanges. Why?

What is it about proximity to the city that makes you so unique? I remember at Tufts people would argue about how lived closer to the city. WHO CARES?! HOW IS THE LOCATION YOUR PARENTS CHOSE TO SHELTER YOU IN TERMS OF PROXIMITY TO NYC INDICATIVE OF YOUR PERSONALITY?

First of all, NYC is a top 5 city in this country at BEST. Granted, it has Boston beat. Yet Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Miami all blow NYC out of the water. You could probably make an argument for San Francisco as well, but I refuse to make that argument. The people of New York are like Philadelphia Sports fans, extremely negative and proud of it. Boston people are also pretty negative, but it's not something many are proud of. In fact, Boston people might just be bitter, like me. I'm not proud of that. NY people though? Just like Philly sports fans. See, Philadelphia sports fans boo everyone, including their own team, because that's what they think they are supposed to do. It's not by nature, they just like to follow the crowd. Same thing with obnoxious NY. They see and hear about it in the media and they just emulate it because they think that's what they are supposed to do. You got these retarded New Yorkers that watch Spiderman and after hearing "Hey Spiderman's from New York! You mess with him, you mess with all of us!"

OHHHH YEAH! NEW YORK IS SO UNITED AND AWESOME. Right. That's why the crime rate is off the charts in that city. New Yorkers just loooooove each other. Granted, it's a pretty big city so this doesn't apply to everyone. In fact, there are quite a few New Yorkers that this does not apply to. The reality is though, the New Yorkers who aren't like this know EXACTLY the type of people I am talking about.

So hey people from NY suburbs, it doesnt make you cool because you live 25 minutes away from the city. No matter how much you watch Spiderman, NY just isn't as awesome as your dream world makes it to be. It's good, but it's no Chicago.

No Fun League. More Flags League

Dear Roger Goodell,

Please stop ruining football. This wasn't a case of the Colts lobbying for rule changes like they did after the Pats kept owning them. The Patriots didn't ask for all of these rule changes. Yet, if you touch a quarterback, it's an automatic personal foul. I don't get it. On the second one, Thomas didn't even drive the quarterback into the ground. Sure, he let go at the last second, but by doing that, he was not DRIVING THE QUARTERBACK INTO THE GROUND.

You ruined our endzone celebrations for all fans to enjoy. Now, we can't even hit stick Phillip Rivers? Goodell, it's football. This isn't ballet. If I wanted to watch quarterbacks never get hit, I'd watch Tufts University play defense. I don't watch the NFL to watch teams get penalized for playing the game. Seriously, I want to scream at the refs. But it's not their fault. It's yours.

When Tagliabue left, I honestly thought you were going to be a step up. You represented hope and promise. Instead, you've turned into a big asshole. No, really Roger, good job setting the league minimum for scoreboards at 85 feet. Jerry Jones built his scoreboard well within the NFL regulations and now look what happened. Goodell is such an assclown. The Cowboys are going to be the laughingstock of the league with every punt going off that scoreboard. Jones consulted with you to make sure it was ok and look what you did.

You run the NFL like a Nazi. That's why the Williams tandem in Minnesota took your Nazi Regime to court. And who won? The Williams duo did. Why? It's cuz you're ridiculous Goodell. No Court of Law is going to support your ridiculous punishments. You ban Stallworth for a year and yet you let the Cincinnati Bengals operate as a team? Frankly Goodell, I don't think players should have to kiss your ass just to stay in the league. Your arbitrary measures for suspensions are almost as absurd as the prices you charge for your Sunday Ticket packages. And yeah, keep blacking out games at home while you send the Patriots and Bucs to London. My God, Roger, you are just God Awful.

Make changes now before the NFL becomes insufferable to watch.

The Best of all Time

was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame along with Stockton, David Robinson, and Jerry Sloan. Alotta childhood memories from my NBA fandom were sparked and it was a tremendous night of television. It's too bad such a great event took place in such an awful city like Springfield MA. Jordan delivered an incredible speech laced with humor, pride, and occasionally sarcastic appreciation for the game and his notable competitors. Besides the tears and raw emotion, #23 closed his speech with this line after suggesting he would return to basketball court at the age of 50.

"Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion."

Well said MJ. We all miss you.

ESPN is at it again

Ok, not that Shawne Merriman is a role model for children, but he got the raw end of the deal this week. ESPN, fresh off of their protection for Ben Roethlisberger, couldnt wait to sink their teeth into a Shawne Merriman battery charge. Sure, the San Diego DA dismissed all charges because Tila Tequila made up the story. But would that stop ESPN from reporting on the case? no.

But wait ESPN, I thought you only reported on issues when they turned out to have more factual credibility. Isn't that why you never reported on Roethelisberger's alleged rape case? Even though you sabotaged Randy Mass during Super Bowl week 2 years ago? But sure enough, look what happens to Shawne Merriman and ESPN just cant get enough of it.

Hey ESPN, time to come clean and just admit that you're a bunch of hypocritical assholes. You spared Big Ben so your network could bring in the big ratings for the future Shaq reality show and that's that. Fuck you ESPN. That's why I will never go to your website. sportsillustrated.com cbssportsline.com thats where you should get your sports news. espn has shown once again that they cant be trusted. Oh my bad, I guess the entire country really cared that Jeter became the all time Yankees hit leader. NOPE. Nobody did.

Oh, we all cared that Joe Smith became the 13th fastest guy to 937 doubles. Stop sensationalizing EVERYTHING. I HATE ESPN.

BC FANS - ? RIDDLER VISION ?

BC vs Kent State Preview

Week 2 of the College Football season has arrived and it is a 2nd home game for your Eagles out of Boston College. Last weekend, as everyone on this side of Huntington Avenue predicted, it was no where near close to a football game. The best text message of the day about the game has to go to KF for when he wrote "14-0 BC and we haven't even gotten to our seats yet." So that kinda sums up the afternoon from that end. As expected the running game was dominate and all the quarterbacks on the active roster saw some playing time with Tuggle and Shinskie getting the bulk of the snaps. The running game was dominate and the passing there was when it needed to be. I think most though at least thought Northeastern would hold there own for a little bit. This means either BC is better than people thought, or NU is just that bad.... I most likely would take the latter.

This will obviously be a step up in competition this week as in comes Kent State. Most people know Kent State for one two reasons, Boston Radio Personality John Dennis or the Massacre. Kent State has never been worth anything when it comes to athletics. They are though starting to turn it around, but in no way should they be in problem for BC this Saturday. This game will be a more uptempo scrimmage if you will. Kent State does have some players on its roster that could give BC some problems. KSU Senior running back Eugene Jarvis is a pretty powerful back with enough moves to make a few people miss. He is no Reggie Bush from '05 by any means but he is no push over back either. QB Giorgio Morgan is decent behind center. Has a pretty average arm and pretty good ability of finding the open man, the only problem for him is that he has never seen a defense that plays in the way that BC does. Don't be surprised if he struggles this weekend trying to pick up the reads when BC is changing calls at the line and is sending blitzes from all sides of the field.

Defense for KSU did post a shut out last week against a fairly decent Coastal Carolina offense, even though they are 1-AA. There best player is Middle Linebacker Corbani Mixon, who was a MAC player of the Week after this game. BC's offense shouldn't have any problems with them, they are too big upfront and should be able to push them deep off the ball giving plenty of running lanes for Haden and Harris.

The key is going to be to see how the QB's play this week. This is another step up in competition and all they have to do is manage the game. The defense will put them in position to win and the offense just has to find a way to not fuck it up. That will be the tale of the BC season. If they can control the ball, make good sound decisions and make the big play when necessary, they will be OK. But if they are trying to get into shoot outs with teams then this will be a long season because they just don't have the man power this year to just be able to trade TD's with the opposition.

BC 30- Kent State 7...book it.

For Boston, For Boston....

"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken" - Colonel Sanders


- JimmyJameS

9/11 8 years later

8 years ago on this day, a bunch of terrorists made a terrible mistake. It was a mistake that cost America thousands of lives and long lines at airports. When I sit back and reflect, I think of how much our country has changed since 9/11, how much we've all changed since 9/11.

Sure, we all value our liberty and understand that freedom is something to fight for, whether home or abroad. On the surface, America seemed to rally over this tragic event and we all just loved the idea that America would be stronger than ever. False.

The fact remains, our nation remains far more polarized than it was before 9/11. You disagree? The only things Republicans and Democrats quarreled over just before 9/11 were blowjobs and voting errors.

Sadly, there was a way this all could have been avoided. The terrorists really screwed up here. They picked the right city, but the wrong target. Had the terrorists flown the planes into MTV Studios, our country would be safer, stronger, and more united.

I remember on New Years a few years ago, one of my drunk friends screamed at the TV, "I hope Bin Laden flies right into MTV Studios this year!" At first, I laughed. Then came the obligatory, stop laughing because someone might be offended. But then, I thought about it. Nobody likes MTV. The terrorists certainly don't like MTV because it symbolizes Western Culture at its very worst. America doesn't like MTV mostly because it has become a sham.

What started as Music Television has become Moron Television. I mean, you have to figure even the religious wackos in the South dont like MTV either because of the sexual innuendos laced in all of its programming. So, havent we found something to agree on? The only people that watch MTV are impressionable 16 year old girls. So I'm sure without MTV, they'd find other useless and degrading things to waste their time on; like shopping.

The point I'm making is this. We remember 9/11 as a tragedy. Yet, it was so close to a victory for this country. 8 years later, we're still polarized and bickering. The terrorists could have done the world a favor, including themselves. We all want to see MTV get destroyed. The terrorists would still get credit for being assholes because the victims on the planes would still die, and 8 years later MTV wouldnt be around to inspire idiots and drama queens to think so inwardly.

MTV represents everything wrong with people in this country. Their programming focuses on so much of the "he said, she said" drama that identifies so prominently with immature youths and exploits that ignorance. All of this inward thinking inhibits ACTUAL thought processes.

So on this day, be proud to be an American. Remember that we are not invincible. Remember that meddling into other people's affairs and trying to tell them how to live can backfire and cause some backlash. Remember that your enemy's enemy may be your friend, but that doesnt mean you should just hand them millions of dollars worth of weapons. Most of all, when it comes to 9/11, just remember to tell your parents you love them. Seriously, tell all the people you care about that you love them. Because you never know when Greenpeace will strike again.

A special congratulatory to JimmyJames for eliminating blogspot from the domain name. We're just that much more professional now. Hell, we might be the best 3 man blog in Boston. That's a little obnoxious. This blog really isn't anything special. If anything, I use it to vent about everything I hate.

Am I really that negative of a person? I don't think so. I think I just respond vocally to things I dislike. Anyways, the NFL kicks off tonight and we've got a hell of a weekend on tap that I'll be sure to write about later. I just wanted to congratulate Jimmy for his work on converting this website into something more presentable to the viewing public. Jimmy likes to be part of the solution; not part of the problem.

Droppin' Treats Original Series Part 2

10 observations about the Patriots

10. Maroney and Chad Jackson are busts. Many know that I always thought the Pats should have taken D'Angelo Williams out of Memphis that year considering I thought he would be better than Reggie Bush. Williams was so dominant in NCAA and he never got any attention because of the media's crush on Bush. Yet, this isn't so much a told you so because I defer to Bill and trusted his judgment. Unfortunately, I may have turned out to be right here.

Sidenote- What a fun draft that was in 2006. Mario Williams going 1 instead of Bush because of the NFL conspiracy of Reggie Bush single-handedly saving the City of New Orleans from peril and further destruction. Vince Young and his IQ of 20 going to the Titans where he sits as a back up. The Jets making their first good draft pick in the history of the franchise with D'Brickshaw Ferguson. Vernon Davis, the guy who Singletary ejected from a game last year, going at 6. Let's not forget that pansy Matt Leinart dropping all the way to 10 where he'll be a career backup in Phoenix. Then that crybaby Cutler going at 11. Point is, d'Angelo was available and we passed on him. Damn shame considering conventional wisdom said he'd be better than Maroney. Lastly, BC great Matthias Kiwanuka gets drafted at number 32? Pretty awesome. Oh, and then the Pats took Chad Jackson in the 2nd round. Awesome.

9. Ellis Hobbs still runs his mouth. I wont bash him; he was a decent CB for the pats, he returned kicks, he mocked Shawne Merriman and pissed off Phillip Rivers. Those are great things. Now you're in Philly; so shutup about Belichick babying players. You're just jealous you didnt get babied.

8. Belichick is human. Tedy Bruschi press conference? Closest I'll get to watching a chick flick this year. and i loved it.

7. Mangini is still an asshole. Even New Yorkers whose standards for liking a hometown player are so low that they would support Bin Laden if he put on a Yankees Cap ran Mangini out of town.

6. It's quite clear that Belichick was and still is the Godfather of the Patriots pulling all the strings. Sure, it was already obvious, but with Pioli gone, there were new questions. Well, let's look at the track record...
Romeo Crennel?
Charlie Weis?
Mangini?
Saban?
McDaniels? (QB controversy is going against him)
Pioli?

With the exception of Pioli, these guys have had nightmare starts to their post-Belichick life.


5. Seymour refuses to show up to the Raiders camp. Can you blame him? The guy has standards. He's won 3 rings. I would rather sit out a year than play for that team. The real question is can we list all of the things Richard Seymour would be better off doing than playing with the Raiders

4. We got a first round pick in 2011. Ohhh right. Cuz the Raiders are really going to turn it around in 2 years. Granted, they could be the 2nd best team in their division in 2 years because of the Broncos and Chiefs question marks. But I still find that highly unlikely. The 2011 Raiders pick is guaranteed to be a top 10 pick in my opinion.

3. We already have Jarvis Green and Ty Warren. Those guys have proven themselves to be effective starting Defensive Ends in the NFL. Linebackers are not crisp, but they are exciting and if Bill can coach anything, it's definitely linebackers. Secondary? ehhhhhh.

2. The Patriots need the cap space to extend Wilfork and Brady at the end of the offseason. Let's face it, Seymour is much easier to replace than a guy like Wilfork. While I'm not a huge Brady fan, I'd still take him over Seymour as well.

1. I grinded with Amanda Belichick at a Phillips Academy Dance in high school. Seriously, I did.

Tailgate review

Well, much to my surprise, BC quickly disposed of Northeastern. I thought the Huskies would at least show up for a rivalry game across town...but they didnt. I cant even count the points BC put up on the helpless Huskies. I actually stayed longer in the downpour game last year than I did at this game. Sure, it could be BC's only win this year, but I was able to do my traditional Eagles touchdown dance and then turn around to look for opposing fans to taunt (there weren't any).

The morning started off right. I only had 2 or 3 missed calls from D which meant I hadn't overslept that bad. I blasted the Eagles fight song throughout the apartment while clothing myself and doing the necessary hygienic protocol. We got to Reservoir fine, went to the packie and got 2 36 packs. That oughta do it. Not to mention, I had my trustworthy flask of 100 proof to aid me in case the beer went too quick. While waiting for the shuttle to take us to the field from Cleveland Circle, we bumped into D holding 4 boxes of pizza. Not really relevant to the story but I figured it'd be good for D to get some exposure on this blog.

So we get to the field and immediately go to our spot, the 4th floor garage. It was empty so we claimed a spot for the car as we usually do, and then the drinking commenced. After a few beers and slices, 3 girls made the horrific mistake of parking next to us. Granted, it was only 4 of us at the time and we probably seemed like a mild crowd. They opened up their spread of homemade treats and goodies and tried to evenly spread them out in the trunk of their jeep. Seriously? These girls were a wine cooler away from tailgating for Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Well, things went from bad to worse when all of the sudden Jimmy appears in the stairwell and starts flapping his arms and dancing. The girls looked at us as if to say "please tell me he isn't with you." In reality, Jimmy was only the beginning of their problem. It wasn't long before the cavalry arrived blasting "Mr. Jones" through the speakers so loud that nobody could think. The once faint sound of reggae music replaced with deafening tones of Counting Crows, Bon Jovi, and other various artists that only a soundtracksmith like Field could create.

The problems didnt end there for our damsels. The distress was exacerbated by washers. If you could watch hearts sink, these girls would have needed way more than a snorkel to pick themselves up from this image: Field and Harrison emerging from the car, Field heading straight for the trunk to get the washers, Harrison greeting the group with a mixture of "Let's Do THISSS" and "HERRO PREASE," while the chorus "Mr. Jones and Me" blares throughout the 4th floor garage.

The washers game provided its own difficulties for the females. Sure, experts like Harrison ans Field may not be causing problems, but when you bring D into the mix, girls were getting drilled in the calves left and right. Things got so ugly that they moved entirely from their spot because of the line drives D was whipping at them.

You're probably wondering why their wasn't more security to keep us in check. Well, there was, but I had already bribed him with some slices of pizza so he wasn't going to cause us any problems despite whatever pleadings the girls made. In keeping up with last year's tradition, we missed kickoff by about 15 minutes and got tossed from the garage by State Troopers.

We strolled in the game, basically the same seats as last year. BC had the ball on the opposing 8 yard line so it looks like we were just in time for some red zone action. Well, on the first play we see, Chris Byrne misses a tackle and BC walks right into the end zone. That would pretty much sum up the day for the Huskies. Miscues, fumbles and 3 and outs. It was like watching a Tufts football game. Except, I'm pretty sure the Tufts Football team could have beat Northeastern on Saturday. Or maybe my intramural flag football team considering we tackled better than Northeastern did.

We didn't last much longer into the third quarter after the safety. There were still beers to drink and what was once a fun game had turned into a pity-fest for the District 5 Huskies coached by the early, apathetic version of Gordon Bombay. There werent even Husky fans around to taunt. So, we went back to the garage and got more hammered.

This week, Kent St.

Boston College Eagles Football Home Opener Tomorrow vs. Northeastern

"Put the women and children to bed and lets go looking for fucking dinner"- Joe Kane, QB, ESU Timberwolves....also known as the QB from "The Program"

The first college football games kicked off last night and needless to say, I got that tingly feeling in my loins all over again. There might not be a single greater time of the year than the fall because of college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. It is essentially God rewarding all men for being awesome. All day, non-stop sports. The perfect lazy weekend filled with beer, pizza, nachos and Chinese food. And it doesn't matter who plays, whether you are an alum to a certain school or just a big fan of one NFL team, you will sit your ass in your favorite recliner all day long and dominate the shit out of it. You channel surf between anywhere between 2 and 6 channels that air college football games starting at noon and last all the way past midnight.

With everything being said up above, the BC Eagles start the Frank Spaziani Era tomorrow and look to get back to a 3rd consecutive ACC Championship game when the open up their season against cross town school (they aren't a rival so there is no way that word is being used) Northeastern University.

Usually schools have two ways of looking at their non-conference games, they go for the best of the best in the country, i.e. Ohio State vs. USC, or like BC does going out and playing the Huskies and getting that first win under the belt. It all depends I think year to year on your team. This is a very good move by the Eagles to just lay the smack down on Northeastern. There is no question that BC lost a lot last year and they lost even more this summer when All-Everything Linebacker Mark Herzlich got diagnosed with cancer. They need to build confidence of this team up as much as they can in the first few games of the year. They have to be 2-0 vs Northeastern and Kent State going into week 1 of ACC play at Clemson.

Per usual the BC defense, even without Herzlich and potentially middle Linebacker Mike McLaughlin, will be one of the tops not only in the conference, but int he nation. They start a lot of youth/inexperience, but they are active, and very athletic. Something that has been a trademark of the BC defense over the past few years. The only question to be asked is really how will the front 7 preform. The defensive backfield will be strong again, but your dbacks are only as good as the front 7 preforms. If McLaughlin can make a return at some point this season from a torn Achilles heel, this will no doubt help, but I wouldn't bet on him coming back this season. How this years team does will depend squarely on how the defense preforms.

The offense is fairly solid minus position...Quarterback. The heir apparent to last years starter Chris Crane, was supposed to be Domingue Davis. He was kicked out of school though for academic reasons and decided to transfer. The battle went on all throughout spring and summer practice and Justin Tuggle, son of former NFL Linebacker Jesse Tuggle, will get the start. He preformed well in the last few team scrimmages and emerged as the leader. Most likely if it wasn't for an injury Dave "Uncle Dave" Shinskie would have been the starter. Shinskie is BC's version of Chris Weinke, a 25 year old frosh who tried to amke it in baseball but was recently cut, so he is going back to take advantage of his 4 years of eligibility. Besides that position, the O is pretty solid. As always a very good offensive line and they have two good returning running back in Montell Harris and Josh Haden. Justin Jarvis and Richie Gunnell aren't big time play makers, but 2 very good wide outs that will help out Tuggle/Shinskie as they grow into their role and become more comfortable behind center.

Hopefully against Northeastern tomorrow, the Eagles will be able to come out and control the game on both sides of the ball and build momentum into the Kent State game. Look for more of the Power I game on offense, but I am sure they will run a little bit of the spread with Tuggle in the Shotgun. I expect this to be a comfortable win with a lot of players seeing action tomorrow. It should be like another scrimmage to evaluate talent.

Oh ya.....Fuck you Jags

JAGS: TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTE

HAHAHA COACH JAGS IS SUCH A BITCH. I dont even want to post. I want to let the link speak for itself. PLEASE READ IT. Na, you aint gonna read it, so ill paste it.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Former Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski was fired Thursday as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have been unhappy with the progress of their passing game.

First-year coach Raheem Morris offered a vague explanation for the abrupt move on the eve of the team's preseason finale against the Houston Texans. Quarterbacks coach Greg Olson was promoted to Jagodzinski's role and will take over playcalling.

"I have a lot of respect for coach Jags, and what he did, and the effort he put into his work, but we're at the point now where we need to be more precise, we need to be more detailed and we need to have more direction on where we're going to go," Morris said.

Jagodzinski was hired in January, three weeks after being dismissed by Boston College for pursuing an NFL head coaching job.

At the time, adding an experienced assistant who was Green Bay's offensive coordinator in 2006 was viewed as smart move by Morris, who turned 33 Thursday and is the youngest head coach in the NFL.

He installed an offense featuring a zone-blocking running scheme and a passing attack that encourages the quarterback to be aggressive throwing the ball downfield. Morris stressed that philosophy won't change under Olson.

Offensive line coach Pete Mangurian, who presides over the running game, and assistant head coach/receivers Richard Mann will assume greater responsibility, too.

"It's not a knock on coach Jagodzinski. It's just what we needed to do, the plan we needed to have," Morris said.

"A lot of the things remain the same. This offense was going in the right direction. You've got to give Jagodzinski credit. He did get it started in the right direction. Now we've got to finish off the deal with some of our other guys."

Jagodzinski led Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in each of his two seasons there, but was fired after being told he would be let go if he interviewed for the New York Jets' coaching vacancy.

He interviewed despite the ultimatum and was fired the next day. The Jets job eventually went to Rex Ryan.

Jagodzinski, 45, was offered a demotion to quarterbacks coach, but declined. (Like he actually has some dignity)

"I am certainly disappointed but I wish nothing but the best for Raheem Morris and the entire Buccaneer organization," Jagodzinski said in a statement released by the team. (and im a homo)

Morris sidestepped questions about Jagodzinski's playcalling. And, he insisted the move had nothing to do with last weekend's decision to begin the season with Byron Leftwich as the starting quarterback.

"I think Jags may be a better head coach, may be a better position coach, to be honest with you," Morris said, explaining why Jagodzinski was offered Olson's old job. (Or better as a male escort for other men)

"We just didn't have the direction from the coordinator's spot, so we offered him a position on the staff. But realistically, it didn't make the most sense for both of the parties involved." (cuz he's more gay than Jeff Garcia)

Jagodzinski led Boston College to a pair of bowl appearances and lost twice to Virginia Tech in the ACC title game during his brief stay with the Eagles. (Cant win the big game)

He was an NFL assistant for eight years with Green Bay and Atlanta before moving to BC, where he tutored last season's NFL rookie of the year Matt Ryan. (and now he can coach D3 Football if he is lucky)

Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo issued a statement when he learned of Jagodzinski's firing. "It's unfortunate. All of us at Boston College wish Jags and his family the very best." (hahaha ya right. More like, JAGS TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTE)

Morris said he did not feel the change will disrupt Tampa Bay's preparation for the Sept. 13 season opener against Dallas.

"When you talk about being in chaos, you're talking about not having a plan," Morris said. "The plan has not changed."

that's the article. My favorite quote is...

Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo issued a statement when he learned of Jagodzinski's firing. "It's unfortunate. All of us at Boston College wish Jags and his family the very best.

Translation: "SUCK IT JAGS. YOU PUSSY."

Let's face it. Jags is a total bitch. He left when the going got tough for what, to interview with a job with the Jets?! Who the hell would want to coach the jets right now? I'd want Mark Sanchez if I wanted to play Glory Hole Roulette. Other than that, I cant think of any coach that would want him. Clearly, with the one exception of Charlie Weis, who picked a school that can no longer compete with the big boys, NFL coaches find more success in college. Jags, for whatever idiotic reason, spoiled an exceptional opportunity to put BC football on the map to get fired by a guy over 10 years younger than him before he could even do his job.

wow Jags. YOU'RE THE FUCKIN MAN DUDE. Never thought I could actually utter this statement but... BC FOOTBALL JUST OWNED YOUR ASS.

A proud BC Football Season Ticket Holder -- Boosh

Mel Kiper Jr's 2009 It's the T*ts Fantasy Roundup

Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN.Com and MelKiperJr.Com here as we round up this past weekends fantasy football draft that took place in Southie at the residence of Rockdaddy, the Jewish Juggernaut and Fieldsy......

First off per usual the draft started lats due to the fact that most of the coaches in the league were out late the night before. So once everyone arrived about 30 minutes later, we got under way. The top 11 picks were as predicted so no real surprises. Then Coach Field, began one of the more bizarre drafts by essentially drafting every available New England Patriot player on the board, starting with Tom Brady and Randy Moss. In a cheap ploy to try to show he wasn't interested in Brady. Field had spent the past week saying how Brady had no right going any where near in the top part of the draft. Touche coach Field. He has guaranteed himself at least one lost this year in week 8 when the Pats have their bye week by later drafting Wes Welker and Jerod Mayo. Essentially 98% of his team points will come from these 4 players. Word on the street is that he is trying to put together a trade for Logan Mankins and a cut off sweatshirt.

Coach Field also made a surprising move by drafting Darren McFadden out of Oakland with his 3rd overall selection. This was hands down the biggest reach of the entire draft. When asked to comment Coach Field sprinted into his room and started blasting Bryan McKnight songs.

The worst draft, probably in the history of drafts has to go to Coach Yukna. Just like I wrote about in the preview, he ended up being a complete abortion. Most likely his only win will come when he beats Coach Field in week 8. Simply put, if you don't beat Yukna then you should just retire or at least think about severely hurting yourself.

The surprise of the draft has to go to Coach Hamilton/Pastor. They worked hand in hand perfectly. Granted, everyone at the draft party had to make most of the selections for Jimmy because every player he tried to get had been picked 3-5 rounds ahead of where everyone currently was in the draft. Surprisingly, Pastor was happy overall all with most of the selections except for one....Brett Favre. Hamilton has dissected game film and believes he can get back to the game breakers he was in his last year in Green Bay...while Pastor just think he stinks. If they win any money from this league how much credit will go to the drafting process and how much will go to the coaching? Stay tuned....

The worst pick of the draft has to go to Ryan Doyle, selecting Derrick Ward....in the 3rd round. Not the type of pick you'd expect from some one with Doyles experience, either he sees something that none of us see, or this could end up being the sleeper pick of the season that puts him over the top on the way to a championship.

With all the teams pretty much even except for Coach Yuknas team, it should be interesting to see what team come's out victorious. If you had to pin me to an answer right now, the early club house leader is Ryan Byrne....
