NFL: Ocho Cinco's leap was planned! Not too shocking.

After a week off for a trip to the NYC I come back to the great story of Chad Ochocinco doing the Lambo Leap, or is it the Bengal Leap, into the Green Bay crowd. As I am watching this I'm thinking he is crazier than I thought. That's like an opposing fan leaping into a rowdy Raiders crowd in Oakland. He would get eat'n up never to return. But low and behold he finds the loan Cincinnati Bengals fans right there to embrace him.

My next thought was..."How did those Bengals Fans get those kind of seats?" First they must know someone. Second how crazy are they to show their Bengal pride in the middle of all that cheese?


Of Course!

Ochocinco has to plan and pay for all of the publicity himself so that if in the off chance he actually scores a TD he can do something cool. I thought it was awesome that he found a lump of Bengals fans to jump to, but only when I thought it was random. Kind of like when Manny Ramirez gave the lone Boston Fan a high five after making a catch in the outfield. The randomness intrigued me.

Chad Johnson had a great year once upon a time, but he doesn't exist anymore. Since the birth of Ochocinco he can only pay to get the attention he so desperately needs. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the next Pro Athlete to file bankruptcy because of all the money he's gonna spend to try and stay relevant in the sports world.

MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates did it...they are the worst team ever!

It's all Francisco Cabrera's fault for the Pirates downfall since 1992. Who is Francisco Cabrera? He is the one that hit the two-run single to score David Justice and Sid Bream for the Atlanta Braves in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS to win the game. Seems fitting that a guy that ended up closing out their last winning season be a guy no one really knows, because no one really know anyone on the 2009 Pittsburgh Pirates.




The question isn't when will they have a winning season again, because will they survive the economic down turn. They are trending almost 50,000 less fans this year then last year, which doesn't seem like much their average dipped below 20,000 fans a night. The park is great! The town is great! The team is disappointing.

Hopefully the Pittsburgh faithful will experience what the Tampa Rays faithful did in 2008 really soon. Maybe they should change their name like the Rays. Maybe the "Buccos" or the "Swashbucklers". Or maybe they should stick with their talent when they become good players and stop farming them out to the rest of the league. And maybe they shouldn't lock their young players up that aren't for sures (Ian Snell, Ryan Doumit).

NFL: Shawne Merriman arrested for Tequila abuse

"Lights Out" once again allegedly turned to the dark side after getting arrested for a domestic dispute. He supposedly choked out his girlfriend Tila Tequila and restrained her from leaving his presence.



Come to find out the Tila Tequila was silly drunk when this all went down. In my eyes it went down like this; They were out, she was drinking and he wasn't. Well, not a lot because the season is about to start. He didn't want her to leave in the state she was in, for her safety. She got uptight and started wailing on him and being the big man that he is tried to restrain her, for her safety. She gets him for choking her and false imprisonment.

Was not there, don't care to be there, but things like this happen when you are drunk.

Say no to alcohol kids!!! and Crazy women from MTV reality shows... it's not worth it.

NFL: Matt Stafford get the Opening Day nod

The Detroit Lions named Matt Stafford the starting Quarterback to start the 2009 season. Will he be the next "Matt Ryan" or the next "Ryan Leaf". Only time will tell. In my eyes he'll be somewhere in the middle.


The Lions are desperate to win a game and fill the seats in a city that already is hurting economically. Their record in the last 24 games has been 1-23. Anything to get their minds off of that would be good, but throwing a rookie Quarterback into the fire to do that? We will see how strong he really is. Hey at least he doesn't have to do it in New York... sorry Mark Sanchez!
