NFL
Week 2 Recap… CLEVELAND OUTSCORED CINCINNATI IN A SHOOTOUT?!?
11 touchdowns between the two quarterbacks and Jamal Lewis runs for 216 yards, how crazy is that (What’s in the water in Cleveland because I don’t think even they would have picked themselves to win that game, especially in that fashion, that game killed suicide pools everywhere…and props to Chad Johnson on the leap into the Dog Pound and for taking the beer dumped on him and not going all Ron Artest on them)…Indy just outlasts the Titans on a fumble in the redzone by Young in the last minute on 4th down…The pack rolled over Big Blue at the Meadowlands to become the winningest QB in NFL History (Mafia called this in last weeks edition…Pam Oliver called out the defense, saying they looked beat on the bench and had no passion)…San Fran wins in the last minute again, this time by a field-goal off a miffed punt to start off with two wins for the first time in years…Tampa embarrassed the Saints (what happened to America’s feel good team? Their defense has been pathetic so far)…Jacksonville edged Atlanta with the Falcons kicker missing two field goals to make the 6 point deficit stand (he got dumped real quick for a blast from the past in Morton Anderson)…Houston overcame Steve Smith’s two TD’s for their first 2-0 start in the franchises history (good luck going for 3-0 with Johnson being out this week, the guy that’s racked up 40 percent of your receiving yards so far)…Kitna came back from an early concussion to lead the Lions over the Vikings, according to him God cleared his symptoms to let him play (pretty sure God had better things to do on Sunday then watch over the Lions/Vikings game, try some other lesser religious deity at best)…Dallas rolled over the Fish and T.O. gave us his dramatic interpretation of “Spy gate” after his TD (Green lost this one himself with 4 INT’s and a fumble…he was the best player on Wade Phillips’ team)…The Ravens won the battle of the back-ups in Baltimore (McCareins has been a freaking disappointment since they acquired him, that’s how you’ve steadily went from top receiver to 3rd you punk)…Controversy at the mile-high after a last second time-out makes Janikowski rekick his made field goal, which he then misses off the uprights, and Elam kicks a game winner in OT (It’s the mind games of the league, yea it’s Busch League but deal with it you whiney femmes)…Patriots shut the Chargers down in Mass. on the Sunday night game (Norv Turner has taken a 14-2 team and turned them to shit…good job firing Marty and hiring a coach who hasn’t been a winner anywhere at the helm)…McNabb got his first start at home and couldn’t get the throw to an open Curtis in the clutch and Washington gets a 20-12 win (Don’t talk about being under more pressure because you are black when you can’t get a single touchdown at home)!!
O.J. Simpson was arrested again out west, this time in “ Sin City.” The Juice was collared for getting his golf buddies together and attempting to rob some guys of memorabilia that he felt belonged to him. Vegas authorities have brought 10 charges against him, almost all felonies, with armed kidnapping being among them. (Looks like he might be staying behind bars for a while this time around since his accomplices are turning on him and will probably give a lot better testimony then “Kato” Kaelin… plus there’s an audio recording of the robbery with his voice on it…in honor of Johnny, our position is “Without a glove to acquit, you’re up a creek of shit!”)
Terrell Owens got fined $7,500 for his touchdown celebration in the game at Miami. T.O. used the goal-post and football as props to poke fun at the Pats spying scandal by peeking around the goal-post with the ball up to his eye and left hand pretending to turn a lever on the side of the ball like it was an old-time movie camera. (I hate T.O., only Bonds and Belichick rank higher, but that was funny shit and the league needs to stop being such dicks with end-zone celebrations, you have to regulate it to a certain degree so it doesn’t get out of hand but T.O. and Chad are pretty damn creative so cut them loose a little.)
Donovan McNabb played the race card when he interviewed with Bryant Gumbel for his Tuesday show on HBO saying that black quarterbacks are under more pressure and scrutiny because there is a lot less of them in the league. Saying that people don’t want blacks to play that position and they’ll talk about throws he didn’t make even if they get 300 yards and win by 7. (Way to play the race card in the city where Randall Cunningham is one of it’s most revered past players.)
Cowboys signed Tank Johnson to a two-year contract a few weeks after the Bears cut him, after he was caught speeding only a few weeks after getting out of jail. (A criminal on Dallas? now the statement I’ve heard about it feeling like the early 90’s with OJ in jail and the Packers and 49ers 2-0 rings even truer then before.)
Retired NFL players are taking their beef with their pension plan up to Capitol Hill with Congressional testimony. Upshaw claims they have made huge strives recently and continue to, but the politicians don’t seem to be buying it. (NFL sure as hell better do something because the Feds are a sack that no one can elude…Just ask Vick)
Everyone is divided on the punishment of Belichick by the commish, with broadcasters and sportswriters going everywhere from calling for him to be suspended, to saying the team shouldn’t pay for what he did, to thinking it was exactly what was deserved and fair. (Much of what Vick got was supposedly more for the lying to Blank and Goodell…so the lesson we’re being taught is lying gets you suspended, but breaking rules just gets you a fine and a draft pick, which is a hit or miss chance on a player anyway and doesn’t hurt them that much since they will still have the 49ers 1st round pick that will be higher then theirs anyway…way to go from tough-guy to Bud Selig in no time flat Roger)
Kevin Everett’s doctors just keep giving better updates on the Bills Tightend’s recovery as he has had some movement in every muscle, even wiggling his fingers a little in recent days, and will probably be moved to a hospital closer to family and friends in Texas in a few days to begin the next steps in his rehab after breaking his spine. (At this point they are saying he will very likely regain full mobility which is a huge turnaround from such a life-threatening injury which everyone is happy to hear. Goodell even took time out from investigating “Spy gate” to visit him and see how he was doing.)
Joey Harrington might be the former starting quarterback of yet another team after the Falcons signed Byron Leftwich to a two year deal early this week. (Leftwich probably won’t start right away since he has to learn the system but Petrino threw Harrington under the bus after their 0-2 start so I’m expecting to see him in the next two to three weeks…and Byron will change his number to 4 because 7 is Vick’s number, although I’m pretty sure he won’t need it this year since he’ll get a brand new one to identify with in jail.)
Injuries are plaguing teams even more after week two. Jets lost their Pro-Bowl kick returner Justin Miller and Andre Johnson will be out of the Houston offense for at least this week and maybe more with a knee injury.
College Football
“At My Signal, Unleash Hell!!” That’s a “Shake It Up Times” exclusive snippet obtained from the speech Russell Crowe gave to Michigan before their game against Notre Dame. By some miracle they did just as he said and crushed the Irish to get their first win and be slightly less pathetic then their 0-3 counterparts (maybe Weis will borrow the pre-game speech tactic and have Scott Baio come in next game to lead the players in singing the “Charles in Charge” theme, to remind them of Weis’ iron rule, after the defection of their backup quarterback)…The Terps looked like tortoises as Slaton scored 3 TD’s for WVU to bolster his Heismann hopes and roll past Maryland…Nebraska drops to 1-10 all-time against #1’s after the Trojans dropped them by 18…Even LSU’s back-ups destroy people, as Perrilloux gave Flynn the day off at QB to blow by Middle Tennessee 44-0…Tennessee got T-boned by Tebow as the Florida QB had two TD’s with his legs and two with his arms, to beat the Vols by almost 40…The Sooners didn’t even give Utah St. a chance with 38 points in the first half to win by over 50...UCF came close to pulling the upset on a Top 10 team but Texas just squeaked past by a field goal….Louisville wasn’t as lucky though, as in-state rival Kentucky dropped them 40-34….Hill the Wisconsin running back tied a school record with 5 TD’s to beat Citadel’s 31 points himself…Cal kept up their offensive barrage this season as they beat La. Tech by 30…UCLA looked more like the Boston Bruins then the number 11 team in the country when Utah upset them horribly 44-6…Ohio State played their best game against their best opponent so far by sending the dogs to the pound in their win over Washington…FU’s were still all over the field in Piscataway as Rutgers rolled over Norfolk State but this time it wasn’t at the opponents, just between rival, STD riddled frats for having the same stupid spiked haircuts, popped collars, and general degrading attitudes towards women (New Jersey…Pump Fists, Not Gas)…Penn State didn’t score a single point in the first quarter, and that was the only one they didn’t, as they put up double-digits in the next three to stampede Buffalo… ‘Bama got themselves into the Top-25 with an upset with of Arkansas…Ryan threw for a carrer high 435 yards to help BC beat Ga. Tech…Beamer got his 200th win as Va. Tech rolled over Ohio…South Carolina played like big ‘Cocks as they embarrassed S.C. St…Oregon destroyed Fresno State to get Bellotti his 100th victory…Clemson beat Furman with ease…Hawaii said Aloha to UNLV (Aloha goodbye, not aloha hello) as they win handily…The Bulldogs bark in the first quarter with a field goal and then bit in the 2nd quarter with 3 TD’s to start a rout of Western Carolina…Texas A&M puts up 54 to easily beat Louisiana-Monroe… “It's the frost, it sometimes makes the blade stick” (Russell Crowe wanted us to leave you off with that thought, not sure what it means, I think it’s some weird cryptic message about touching yourself. Who can ever understand those crazy Aussies)
The Longhorns had another player arrested as freshman running back James Henry was charged with two felony counts of obstruction and tampering with evidence. Henry, who redshirted last season and has only played on special teams in two games so far this year, claims it was a mishap and is trying to figure out what is going on. He’s accused of beating up one of the victims of a July home invasion that allegedly involved two other players and has been suspended indefinitely from the team. (Is Mack Brown’s team the Bengals of College Football?!? That’s the 6th player arrested in the program since June. Where’s the control down in the Lone star state?)
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is being blamed by Demetrius Jones as the reason for his sudden departure from the Irish and transfer to Northern Illinois. Jones claims that he was surprised when Weis said that the only reason Clausen didn’t start the first game instead of Jones was because he wasn’t fully recovered from surgery, because Jones says he was led to believe that he was getting a chance because Weis believed in him and isn’t sure that he believes that anymore. But Notre Dame won’t release him from his scholarship so he’ll have to pay his own way to go to class at Northern Illinois this year. (You have to love the notice he gave Weis about this…which was none as he didn’t say anything and just didn’t show up for the bus trip for Notre Dame’s game at Michigan…although he’s a little bit of a pussy for not sticking around and trying to take the job he thinks he deserves since Clausen can’t be too secure in his spot on the depth chart having not done anything good in his two starts.)
Kentucky has $25,000 less in their pockets after being fined by the Southeastern Conference because of their fans charging the playing field after they beat in-state rival Louisville 40-34. It breaks the SEC’s policy of keeping fans off the playing field that was adopted back in 2004 and is the second time that Kentucky has been fined for this, after they charged the field following a Wildcat victory over Georgia last year. (Come on SEC lighten-up, as long as no one gets hurt, charging the field after a big victory, especially against a Top-10 ranked team that’s right down the road from you, is just fan passion and pride at it’s peak. Fans jumping up and down in celebration on the field is a hell of a lot better then kicking them right out of the stadium and them rioting in the streets isn’t it!?!)
MLB
Down the Stretch…The Mets got swept by the Phillies once again and continued to slide, losing a season high 5 in a row while Howard and company took the first two in their series with the Cardinals to get it all the way down to 1 ½ games, but the Mets rebounded in the last one in the nation’s capital and St. Louis pulled out the last one in their series in extras to get it back up to 2 ½, can the Metropolitans ride out the last week of the season with white knuckles gripping that division lead or will the Fightin’ Phils pry it out of their grasp with their last ditch effort?!?!...Chicago and Milwaukee are neck and neck coming down to the last week with both still struggling and St. Louis pretty much knocking themselves out of the race by losing the series to Philadelphia, does anyone want to step up for the crown in the NL Central?!?!....The D-backs and Padres were even in the loss column in the middle of the week but Arizona had a leg up with two extra wins, will those extra games already in the tank bite ‘Zona in the ass and give San Diego an ace in the hole to help them make up the ground and overtake their young competitors in the NL West?!?....It’s the same kind of situation as the NL East in the AL East, but reversed, Boston is stumbling, gasping for air on the last mile of this marathon while New York is chasing them from behind with a fervent second wind, reeling off win after win and closing the gap to within 1 ½ after Wednesday night, does A-Rod prove his MVP case by carrying the Yankees to their 10th AL East crown in a row or will Big Papi’s late game heroics become late season ones that allow him and the Sox to walk-off with the title!?!?….Cleveland has basically locked up the division crown and heads to the playoffs for the first time since ’01, sweeping Detroit this week to knock them out of contention for the postseason, can they get the two slot in the league, or even take a shot at ending with the best record now that Boston is stumbling?!?!….Same story for the Angels, the division is all but secure with Seattle barely being a blip on their radar as they go tit for tat with the Indians to try and be second best and get home field for the first round but where will Vlad and company finish?!?!....The Wild Cards are a lot less complicated since last week, the Dodgers and Rockies aren’t technically out of it but it seems like a three horse race between whoever finishes 2nd in the divisions with the pitching of San Diego holding them in the top slot…It’s even more black-and-white in the AL where Cleveland’s sweep has pushed the Tigers far out, making it seem that the runner-up in the East becomes the last one in….Can you smell the Playoff atmosphere? October should be fun to watch!!!
“The Sopranos” actors got snubbed at the Emmy’s, now who will play second fiddle in the MLB awards? Sabathia won on Wednesday to add himself to the 18-win party that Beckett and Wang started last week, who gets the AL Cy Young if they all end up with the same amount of wins after 162 games?!?....Pitching has been mediocre in the NL, with all the standouts finishing their home games after most of us East Coast people are in bed. Webb’s getting batter after batter on strikes, weather they watch it go by or make the ill-fated attempt to swing at it, and San Diego throws tandem doom at teams with Peavy and Young making people look like minor leaguers against the ERA leaders. Who is the best of the west, and in turn the best of the NL?!?!...Does Magglio’s Tigers getting declawed make us discard his numbers? And if A-Rod’s Bronx Bombers over take Big Papi’s Sawks do we rank the gawdy New Yorkers numbers over the New Englanders consistent game winning ability? And has Vlad in Anaheim and Martinez in Cleveland been too quietly consistent to be considered for the AL MVP?!?!...Who has stood out offensively in the NL? Does raw power propel Howard to a second straight award or Fielder to a first? Does being one of the youngest 30-30 guys plus over 100 RBI’s and Runs scored make Daivd Wright’s all-around numbers award caliber? Or will Soriano or Utley’s time off, due to injury, make their stats look even better at the end of the year and give the little guys a shiny trophy?.....We’ll have to wait on all of these as nothing has yet been decided, which should make the last week of the season even more exciting!!!
First it was comics, now fashion is getting involved with MLB memorabilia. Fashion designer Marc Ecko paid $750,000 for Barry Bonds 756th homerun ball, that’s a lot more then it was expected to garner when Queens native Matt Murphy first caught it in San Francisco. This after Todd McFarland purchased the McGwire and Sosa record homerun balls back in ’98 for a hell of a lot more (try $3 million for McGwire’s alone). Barry Bonds isn’t too happy about the vote the Ecko is putting up to fans, on the website "vote756", of whether he should donate it to the Hall-of-Fame, brand it with an asterisk, or shoot it into space, saying that it’s stupid for someone to do things like that after paying so much for it. (As painful as it is for most of us, we probably agree with Bonds, even though I like the choices….but that’s cause we’re poor! When you’re worth as much as Ecko, that’s chump change, well worth paying it to piss off the biggest douche bag in sports)
Jim Thome hit his 500th homerun of his career this week to win a game for the White Sox. ( Chicago fans weren’t sure if the homerun or the win was a bigger milestone for them to celebrate with the way the Sox have played this year on the Windy City’s South Side)
El Duque won’t pitch for at least the rest of the season with the Amazin’s after getting a walking boot put on his foot because that bunion is still bothering him. He’s out at least 7-10 days and they will see how he feels after that. (This medical problem has plagued him on and off for the last three months, although I’m used to hearing my 64 year-old grandmother having problems with this, not Major League pitchers, maybe this is the closet indicator of his actual age we have yet seen)
HGH tests using blood is something that the MLB wants to put into place as early as next year, especially after all the “juicing” dirt thrown in the face of Major League Baseball by that investigation by the Albany DA’s office into the internet pharmacy, with a new name coming out each week. (Good idea, only problem is a highly accurate test for HGH still doesn’t exist yet!! Good luck going to an arbitrator saying, “We suspended him because he failed a test that gave us about 50 percent certainty he was using.”)
NBA
They’re cussing like sailors in the Manhattan courtroom where the sexual harassment suit against Isaih Thomas and Madison Square Garden. All sort of expletives are being thrown out there to describe the language used towards and about Anucha Browne Sanders. The Garden claimed that she was fired because she had communication problems but forgot that she got perfect ratings on her performance reviews. Then Dolan said it was all his decision, like he’s involved in everything that goes on there, and then said calling someone bitch wasn’t appropriate “but it’s also not appropriate to murder anyone. I don’t know if that’s happened here.” (Let’s take it to a complete extreme that has nothing to do with this case, o yea, they also had testimony from the Senior Vice President of Human Resources say that he suggested Isaih get sensitivity training…looks pretty guilty to me that he needed that right around the time he was apparently sexually harassing this girl)
FIBA European Basketball Tournament MVP Andrei Kirilenko supposedly wants out of Mormonville, according to a blog post on a Russian site he wrote. According to the post, Kirilenko wants out of Utah and voices his concern with playing for Jerry Sloan again next season, this after having his worst season last year. (Someone should tell him that Sloan is a Hall-of-Famer and he’s just a footnote in NBA history at best…and that you have to at least be an All-Star in the last few years to demand stuff, not once, back in 2004, I hope they trade him from that team that won 51 games to a team that wins 20.)
NASCAR
Dale Earnhardt Jr. revealed his new number and sponsors for next year this week by just giving you twice the amount of 8’s for your money, going to 88 next year when he switches racing teams. His major sponsor will also change as he will begin a new relationship with Mountain Dew, along with The National Guard, and a green/white/black paint scheme on the car. (Who really cares what number he has or how shitty his stupid car looks when the guy hasn’t won in his last 53 Cup starts and only twice in 99 starts…he also has the most Did Not Fishes this year of anyone in the Chase.)
SOCCER
The U.S. Women’s Soccer team has made it to the quarterfinal stage of the Women’s World Cup in China after winning their group. They’ll face England in the quarters. (I know most of the U.S. doesn’t care about Soccer, especially Women’s, I just put them in here cause there are some hot little pieces of ass on that team and I’m hoping they win so we get some kind of strip celebration.)
For the latest headlines made sure to look at Ferrall’s top news.
Guests
Ferrall was rockin’ this week on guests…Riki Rachtman, former host of “Loveline” and “Headbangers Ball” and current NASCAR junkie, hosting NASCAR 24/7 on NASCAR.com, came on Wednesday night to catch up with Ferrall on the old times they had on the West Coast, as well as talk about things going on with NASCAR as the chase comes up, and even reality TV (Riki will be hosting the reunion special of “Rock Of Love” for VH1)…Emil Bodenstein of Locker Room Memorabilia was on this week to talk about the value of various pieces of sports memorabilia and how much certain pieces could be worth for future accomplishments by some of today’s great players….That got T.R. (Scott’s Dad) to call in and talk about the signed baseball he has from all the way back in 1938 that is signed by a whole bunch of old players, including Tris Speaker, the 4th guy ever to be elected to the Baseball Hall-of-Fame …Geno Bisconte was in again on Monday night to watch the game with Ferrall and bless you all with more of his off-the-wall antics….and Jim Florentine of “Miserable Men” hung out with Ferrall last week to let us know where he will be performing in the near future, as well as give his always fresh opinions on the happenings of the sports world!!
UFC / Appearances
Time for some Californication…The Chili Peppers Record or the David Duchovny show, your choice, they are both great…But the much more important connection is that Scotty and the boys are taking that long flight from coast-to-coast to be at “UFC 76: Knockout” where Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell will try to start a comeback towards his lost belt against Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California this weekend!! Ferrall is going to take Friday night off to completely charge his batteries after the long flight (Brian McGovern of NFL Radio will be filling-in for him and rocking out with you Friday night) so that he can go full-out hardcore on Saturday with you on his show LIVE from the Elite Platinum Ballroom in the Anaheim Marriott at 700 West Convention Way from 12pm-4pm Pacific Time (3-7 Eastern Time) on Howard 101!! If you are in the SoCal area you better get your ass to Anaheim to meet and hang out with Ferrall and “rock out with your cocks out”!!
Scott talks about how great the show will be with all his guests in his rant.
The Website
If you play with yourself too much you’ll go blind (At least that’s what my mom always told me, although I’ m still seeing 20/20 years later, TAKE THAT MOM!)…but we should all listen to our mothers and stop looking at all that internet filth (unless your checking out those sweet vids on HDSin from Scott’s site, in that case keep up the good work) and check out the sweet new features on Ferrall’s site.
Bored and unproductive at work like us? Then go play games in Ferrall’s NEW ARCADE!!
Make sure to get your thoughts in on the show and everything going on in the sports world on the new Ferrall Forum!!
