Get That Guy A Jersey

With all of this talk about Bill Belichick today, the site Touchdown.org was brought to my attention.

The site claims to be following the Patriots Cheating Scandal and "Much, Much more..."

If anyone finds the "more" part, let me know.

But while the name renders a little more than the site actually brings, it did have this picture embedded.



Not exaclty high-resolution by any means, but the idea alone is pretty humorous. Let the photoshopping (or microsoft painting) continue!

Morning YouTubeness: Upside Potential

Happy Labor Day, all. There isn't going to be much going on in these parts today, but I figured that a little video wouldn't hurt.

I think this kid will be a great addition to a rebuilding Raiders franchise. If this isn't going to make JaMarcus Russell sign with thee team, I don't know what will.

If you look closely, he kind of looks like a young Al Davis. If you wondered what Al looked like back in 1895, this may be about as close as you'll get. Enjoy.

Maybe He Meant "88?"

When the Bengals play the Falcons, there's one certainty in the match-up: Chad Johnson and DeAngelo Hall exchanging blows.

ESPN reported several bouts that featured Johnson sending autographed books to the Falcons, with Hall sending Johnson an autographed jersey featuring "I Own You" written on the back.

Hall took the "owning" a bit further by shaving it in to the back of his dome for all to see. Fortunately, Brothers Mottram got a freeze frame of the artwork. Unfortunately, Johnson caught five passes for 85 yards and a touchdown - all in the first half. Couple this with the fact that the touchdown catch began with Hall covering Johnson, and ended with CJ shaking him right off of the screen before the reception and it wasn't one of Hall's best nights.

Had DeAngleo just left the shave-job as an "88," Tab Perry's one reception for five yards would've looked a lot better. Just sayin'.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

If Saturday night's Browns/Broncos game was one in your local television area, not only did you see Denver fail to convert a two-point conversion to lose by one (which I'm sure they were perfectly OK with), but you also saw what ended up being bigger news: Brady Quinn's haircut.

Turns out that it wasn't one of those "voluntary" haircuts, and that some rookie hazing may have been involved. The San Diego Union Tribune reports that Quinn is no longer sporting his "long, flowing locks" as he joined the other Browns rookies in having his head shaved at the end of camp.

I'm not sure that I would have chosen the wordes "long and flowing" in a football report, but to each their own in San Deigo. It's a bit sad that the hair of a rookie quarterback makes more news than the team itself. First Joe Theismann calls him out for not looking professional at the draft. Said unprofessional quarterback then gives it a trim. Then some teammates take him out back and give him a buzz. More news!

Check back media outlets over the next few weeks to track the regrowth!

And since I know you all love this stuff, here's a progression...



Let's just hope he can throw some passes this season as well. I'd hate for him to trip up and not provide us with such captivating news for the next decade.

Update: You can now vote on which haircut you like. I tell ya, Cleveland's a happening place these days.

The Chiefs Do Not Wait For You To Pass Out

Above, you'll find a picture of Chiefs wide receiver Eddie Kennison unrolling a giant spool of plastic wrap around rookie receiver Dwayne Bowe. Bowe, being a good sport and all, doesn't appear to be putting up too much of a struggle. Arrowheadpride then goes on to say that the rookie was then "wrapped to the goal post" before the team dumped ice cold Gatorade over his head.

No reports of Sharpie Markers to the face or putting his hand in warm water afterwards.

What's ironic is that the article later states the following:

Dwayne Bowe: [Down Arrow] He is already way behind any of Chiefs WR as far as reps and repoire with any of the QBs. I'm glad to have him finally in camp but the guy will have to work very hard to secure an opening day job.

So, what better way to get him to improve his skills than by affixing him to a goal post? The guy has missed 16 practices, so if you ask me, three-a-days seems fair. If you must plastic wrap the guy to a stationary object, at least leave his golved-up hands free so you can throw footballs at him. Lord knows he won't get many chances to do such once the season starts with Brodie Croyle at the helm.
