It is the first Sunday of the NFL season and no doubt poolies, gamblers and fans everywhere are waking up pumped for it. Liking Cincinnati to cover (-4.5), Philadelphia Under (44), and for your Prime Time Pick tonight (1-0, +100 on the year, by the way), we're playing the Chicago Bears (+4.5 -110) at the Green Bay Packers. As for the pic today, that's over a wager lost where I said twice as many Cowboys would be taken in a fantasy pool as Bucs. It ended up being 8-5 Cowboys. I should've taken into account I was drafting with a bunch of mental midgets. Cowboys win that one today, of course. After all, if you could beat last year's Bucs squad with Brad Johnson as your QB when the Bucs were better than this year, then Tony Romo should make it easy money.
In honour of it being opening day, here's a nice collection of the 50 Most Brutal NFL Hits, with video, of course.
If I do nothing but watch NFL Red Zone today - a channel that takes you to a game as soon as someone hits the red zone - is that the equivalent of going to the end of a movie? Can't wait to see this channel in action.
If you're a logical person at all, and you've repeatedly heard how much Michigan sucks now, and Michigan beats an allegedly improved Notre Lame squad, what does that say of the Domers?
Toronto FC Captain Jim Brennan is now wearing short sleeved jersey's. David Beckham went that route about a month back. Coincidence?
Boxing Promoter Bob Arum gave a curious interview in which he stated that boxing is followed by ethnic groups: "Hispanic, Filipino, Puerto Rican, Mexican." Ignoring that he's mixing ethnicities with nationalities, and that Arum is a lot of things, but among those groups isn't one of them, he went on to declare that fans of UFC are "white skinheads". Very evolved view, Arum. Must've missed that when Oscar de la Hoya was busy promoting an MMA event. It is for dinosaurs like Arum that boxing has degenerated into an afterthought. Here's betting he's a bit more humbled after next Saturday when the next UFC pay-per-view blows away the return of Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the boxing ring on the same night. Video embedded below.
Also embedded below is a very awkward interview with Buffalo Bill Ellis Lanksder.
There were goals a' plenty in the EPL yesterday. Manchester City downed Arsenal 4-2 and City's Emmanuel Adebayor showed what a bonehead he is when he scored against his former team, running the length of the field to celebrate in front of Arsenal's fans. Total jackass. He also stepped on Robin Van Persie's face while he was down. Liverpool finally showed more of what we were expecting of them in a 4-0 pasting of Burnley, and in a great game, Manchester United downed previously unbeaten Tottenham 3-1. Not bad, considering the Red Devils were a goal back in the first minute, and played the final half hour a man down after a Paul Scholes ejection.
Here are the 11 Weirdest Sex Questions on Yahoo! Answers. Strange, and hilarious, stuff.
Toronto FC found the net three times, including two from rookies Nana Atakora and O'Brien White, en route to a very important 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids. The win puts TFC in a tie for 8th place with five games to go. The top eight make the playoffs.
The Phoenix Coyotes opened training camp and a certain guy named Wayne Gretzky, who we last saw coaching said Coyotes, was nowhere to be found. Way to stick with your team, Wayne.
As mentioned here a few days back, Dany Heatley was officially dealt to the San Jose Sharks yesterday. Say what you will about Heatley, but the Sharks got a steal in only moving Johnathan Cheechoo and Milan Michalek and a second rounder for Heatley and a fifth rounder. That's really more hockey than I should be talking about at this time of year, and given my general annoyance with the NHL and how it is run by Herr Bettman.
Proving he's not quite finished prostituting himself, Minnesota Vikes coach Brad Childress has named He Who Shall Not Be Named one of his captains.
Grumpy Old Man Bob Arum
Buffalo Bill Ellis Lanksder is a fan of saying "I was...like...umm..." Please, please, please watch this.

I think Mayweather will draw more than Franklin/Belfort. Could be wrong though.
I liked what Aderbayor did. Stuck it to them after Wenger dumped him in an effort to get a younger squad. Was just doing the "look at me now" angle while inciting a riot.
Loved the USC/Ohio State game yesterday.
Am I the only one that thinks JDG was a bad signing?? Your getting grass next year, dump Vitti and Barett and spend the money on a great striker.
YF,
when am i meeting you for an overpriced tall boy?
only two home games left ... plus playoffs, obv.
Havent been to BMO since June (find that I get too drunk) but I'll try to make it the last game of the year. Shoeless has Carlsberg for $5 pre/post game. I load up there or I head to the Liberty LCBO get trashed in a park then onto TFC.
Like I said...Romo at Tampa = easy money.
used too and then i just got fed up of blowing money on stuff that would just fustrate me.
3 breakdowns for TDs on D, and 2 missed field goals cost us in what ended up being a 13 point game.
Our offense moved the ball pretty well against your D, and other than those 3 plays, our D played well...
But I'll give props where it's due. Dallas beat our ass...
Cadillacv looked sick as fuck though, you have to admit, and in the long run that's more important than anything ofr us...
Yep, he looked real good. So did Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton, somewhat surprisingly, and made for a good day for one Tony Romo.
Love opening 1-0, particularly when it was one of the games you figure were a "W" on the schedule.
