Some people are talking about some hockey player hooking up with some Playboy model.

Naturally, I looked to see if she was hot.

If the reports are true, that Boston Bruins center Tyler Seguin spent Easter weekend with Ciara Price, then he probably had himself a good ole time.

Thanks to his most recent championship with the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Basketball Association, Stephon has his very own statuebeing erected as a special thank you for leading his team to victory.   The Ducks won the championship series 4-1 over the Guangdong Hongyuan, in which Marbury averaged 33.4 points per game, 6.2 assists, and 4 rebounds. 

However, those numbers were not what earned Marbury the honor of a statue.  It was an internet campaign launched by hoopschina.com that rallied all of his fans together to make a push to have the structure created.  Within hours, more than 1 million fans showed their support for the idea.   A model has been molded out of clay and sent for production, which is said to be made of bronze and completed in the next few weeks. 

But only the best get a statue. I think the least Stephon could do is get a neck tattoo of a duck to show his fans, and teammates how much he really appreciates them.

Rioting is almost a right of passage if your team wins it all. Smart or not, fans put in as much time and energy as these athletes do, and how they want to celebrate is their prerogative.

After seeing replays of the riot that ensued following Kentucky’s victory over Louisville, I decided to reminisce on all of the rioting that has happened over the years following certain sporting events.

We may as well start with UK video from last week. If you didn’t get to see it, here is one of many. There’s a reason the state of Kentucky doesn’t have any major sports teams. If a final four victory is a reason to act like a bunch of neanderthals that just discovered fire, I couldn’t imagine what they would do if their team won the Super Bowl or the World Series.

I’ve always considered Canadians a bunch of Nancys, that is until 2011 happened. Who will ever forget the riot that followed the Canuck’s loss to the Bruins in the Stanley Cup.

Something about defeating your rival to get to the championship game, must scream riot. This riot occurred following game 7 of the 2004 ALCS championship. Although, if there is a fan base that can have a pass for rioting, following a victory. I would have given it to the 2004 Boston Red Sox fans, after ending an 86 year “curse.”

Who could forget the riot that occurred after Joe Paterno was forced out as head coach this past year? I expect this behavior from foreign countries when a political leader is overthrown, but after a head football coach that protected a child molester? Come on Happy Valley, you’re better than that.
 

Finally, it wouldn’t be a quality riot montage without a soccer riot. This will probably go down as the most tragic incident, following a sporting event. 73 people were killed, and thousands were injured in Egypt after fans stormed the field (I refuse to call it a pitch) to celebrate Al-Masry’s defeat of Al-Ahly.

For any of you Chicago Cubs or Cleveland Browns fans, be sure and have your video cameras ready, and take the high ground if your team ever wins a championship. It will become Youtube gold.

Every year players have breakout seasons, making their fantasy owners look like they know what they are doing. While other players decided to take the year off since they just got paid (i.e. Chris Johnson).  Let’s take a look at the players that had the most fantasy relevance this year, good and bad, and which will have a lasting affect going into next season. 

Quarterbacks

Biggest Surprise – Cam Newton/Carolina Panthers

Did anyone really see this coming?  If you say “yes” you are an Auburn fan, and you are the only person I will believe.  Newton put up numbers unlike any rookie anyone has ever seen.  Not to mention he did it playing for the CAROLINA PANTHERS! I hope Steve Smith gave him a nice Christmas present, because he helped rejuvenate his career this year.  Newton finished 5^th in fantasy points of all players.  If you are in a keeper league, you have to keep this guy.  The Panthers are going to get better if they can get him some young talent at WR.  If you want a QB early next year, I think he has made it obvious he is worthy of a 1^st round selection. 

Biggest Bust – Josh Freeman/Tampa Bay Bucs

While I want to put Michael Vick here, I won’t, just for the fact that when he did play he still put up solid fantasy numbers.  However, the same may not be said for Freeman.  He played every game this season and only averaged 13 fantasy points a game.  At the beginning of the season if I told you Andy Dalton, Alex Smith, and Joe Flacco were going to be better options at QB, you would have called me crazy.  Freeman and the Bucs had a horrible season after surprising everyone last season and tricking many fantasy owners to take Freeman andMike Williams early in the draft.  Next season I would recommend Freeman for a back-up but don’t plan on him being relevant any time soon. 

Don’t Panic -  Philip Rivers/San Diego Chargers

I trusted this guy to lead my fantasy team this season, hoping he would have the breakout year everyone was promising he would have.  Not so much.  While he finished the season strong, it was too late to save some owner’s fantasy season.  In his defense, Floyd, Jackson, and Gates were not on the field at the same time very much due to injuries.  But when they were, Rivers was able to show why he is a relevant fantasy QB.  I would still recommend taking him somewhat early next season.  He is still a top 10 fantasy QB, and will continue to be solid for years to come. 

Sleeper for next season – Andy Dalton/Cincinnati Bengals

A.J. Green and the Bengals WR core are young and talented.  Look for them to only get better, once they can have an off-season and get on the same page. 

Running Back

Biggest Surprise – Darren Sproles/New Orleans Saints

How many back-up running backs can finish a season a top-5 fantasy back?  I am going to say none.  Sproles probably did not get drafted by many this season.  I know he sat on an owners bench in my league until about week 10.  Sproles was PPR League gold catching tons of passes out of the backfield from Drew Brees, and even got a lot of red-zone looks.  If you are playing in a standard league he may not have helped as much, but he was still starter worthy.  You have to look at taking him in the top 3 rounds next season, because it looks like Mark Ingram and Sproles are the Saints future in the backfield.

Biggest Bust – Chris Johnson/Tennessee Titans

This is a prime example of “show me the money” from a pro athlete.  Johnson has been playing his ass off for years for the Titans, showing why he is worthy of that big paycheck, and worthy of the top fantasy pick each season.  This year he decided to take a vacation with that big paycheck and frustrate fantasy owners week in and week out.  While it was a down year for running backs, Johnson was still worthy of an every week start, but to be  a top 2 pick and only score 20+ points two times all season is worthy of the BUST title.  He will still be drafted in the first two rounds next season, but his top 5 pick days are over. 

Don’t Panic – Peyton Hillis/Cleveland Browns

Another guy that killed my team this season (can you tell I didn’t do well?)  No one really knows what Hillis’ deal was this season.  I am blaming it on the “Madden Curse.”  Wherever he ends up next season he will bounce back andbecome fantasy relevant again.  If he is around in your later rounds next season, be sure and save a spot for him on your roster. 

Sleepers for next season – Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Bush, DeMarco Murray, Michael Bush, Beanie Wells

Wide Receiver

Biggest Surprise – Victor Cruz/New York Giants

Did anyone know this guy even existed at the beginning of the season?  After becoming a full time starter, Cruz had 2 games under double digit points all season.  He finished 3^rdof all wide receivers in points behind Calvin Johnson and Wes Welker.  While I don’t see a repeat of this next season, he is definitely a player you want to grab as your #2 WR next season. 

Biggest Bust – DeSean Jackson/Philadelphia Eagles

Jackson made it clear he was not going to play hard until he got paid.  Unfortunately for fantasy owners, he never got paid.  Jackson has been pretty streaky in previous seasons, but you can usually count on at least 10 points from him.  This season he only scored double digits in 8 games.  That is not going to cut it for a #1 fantasy WR.  His value rests a lot on who is playing QB also.  As long as that is Mike Vick, you never know how consistent he can ever really be.  Next season make Jackson your #2 WR and you will be less disappointed when he doesn’t perform. 

Don’t Panic – Reggie Wayne/Indianapolis Colts

If he returns to the Colts next season with Peyton Manning, he is still worthy of a top pick.  A lot will be determined on who is his QB.  Granted, Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky should only be on an NFL field during walk-throughs so if he goes anywhere with a decent QB he will return to fantasy relevance.  Even with the Colts s**tty season, he managed to be relevant for half a season.  Next season make him a sleeper pick for your team, you won’t be disappointed. 

Sleepers for Next Season – Nate Washington, A.J. Green, Antonio Brown, Michael Crabtree

Tight Ends

Biggest Surprise – Rob Gronkowski/ New England Patriots

All I can say about his season is “holy s**t!”  Gronk outscored many hopeful #1 WR’s this season and proved to be Tom Brady’s safety net when Welker was covered.  If you are in a keeper league it might be crazy to consider keeping a TE, but look at your team and see if you have anyone else that is more consistent.  I know I didn’t.  He probably won’t be drafted 1^st round in many leagues, but I would be sure and take him 2^nd round.  It’s hard to ignore 17 touchdowns in one season. 

Biggest Bust – Dallas Clark/Indianapolis Colts

Guess who had this guy?  Yes, one of many mistakes I made in this awful season.  Reggie Wayne managed to put up SOME points, I’m not giving Clark a pass just because he didn’t have Manning throwing to him.  Clark has been one of the most consistent TE’s the last 5 years and completely fell of the map this season. Just like Reggie Wayne, if Manning returns next season and all the good TE’s are taken.  Grab Clark, and look for him to return to fantasy dominance. 

Don’t Panic -  See Dallas Clark

Sleepers for Next Season – Jermaine Gresham, Fred Davis

The wide receiver position is becoming the prime position in fantasy football, especially in PPR leagues.  The best thing to do is grab one of the studs early, then get those pass catchers like Wes Welker later in the draft.  There will be plenty of WR’s to grab up off the waiver wire, so don’t waste all of your early picks on the top wide outs, and be stuck without a running back or quarterback.

Wide Receiver Busts

1.) Mike Wallace – Everyone is in love with Wallace this year, and I can’t really understand why.  Yes he is a big playmaker, but you never know when he is going to make that big play.  If you are looking for consistency, Wallace is not your guy.  I have seen Wallace being selected before Fitzgerald, Austin, Vincent Jackson, and Reggie Wayne, which is ridiculous.  With Hines Ward getting close to the end of his career, defenses will focus more on Wallace.  He is a #2 fantasy receiver and does not belong in the elite conversation.

2.) Dez Bryant – this guy burnt me last year when I took him in the third round.  I’m not falling for it again.  He is a player that suffers from the injury bug almost every season, so until he plays an entire season, he is a bench receiver at best.

3.) Brandon Lloyd – I’m a little more optimistic about his season now that Orton has been named the starter, but he is in his 10^th NFL season, and I don’t know many players that get better this late in their career.  The Broncos are going to be losing a lot so they will be looking for Lloyd, but if there are players like Santonio Holmes and Wes Welker available, go for them.  They will be playing for winning teams.

4.) Steve Johnson – Let’s just get to the reality of this situation.  Ryan Fitzpatrick had a fluke year and Steve Johnson happened to reap the benefits of it.  If he is available later in the draft, grab him.  But, when players like Welker, Manningham, Boldin, Marshall, are still available, take them and you will be much happier for doing so.

5.) A.J. Green – No Cincinnati Bengal should be taken in a fantasy draft this season.  I have followed this team my whole life and know when I see a disaster in the making.  I feel bad for Green because he is a freak of an athlete but he will never see the ball. Not to mention he is a rookie.   Even if Dalton or Gradkowski turn out to be decent, the offensive line will not be able to hold up long enough for them to throw.  Take Green if you’re feeling lucky, otherwise go for Ocho Cinco, Knox, or Malcolm Floyd.

Wide Receiver Sleepers

1.) Mario Manningham – He really turned it on in the end of the season last year, racking up almost 350 yards and 4 touch downs in the final three games.  With Steve Smith out of the picture, Manningham is the #2 guy, behind Hakeem Nicks.  With the Giants running game looking good, opposing defenses will have to respect that, leaving Nicks and Manningham to run free and rack up tons of fantasy points.

2.) Chad Whatever – I have been watching Chad for years, and know what he is capable of.  He is now on a championship team and will look to please the fans of New England, because that is the only thing he cares about.  His image.  Just look back at what Randy Moss did when he came over to the Patriots.  I fully expect Chad to do just as well this season.

3.) Lee Evans – Evans going to the Ravens was huge.  Had he would have stayed in Buffalo, he would have no relevance in fantasy football.  Now that he has a consistent QB throwing to him, and a playmaker on the other side of the field in Boldin, look for Evans to accumulate a lot of receptions and short yardage looks throughout games.  If this offense could make Derek Mason fantasy relevant, Evans will be just fine.

4.) Steve Breaston – Last season, Chris Chambers stepped into the Kansas City offense and had a respectable year.  Breaston is now the #2 guy and has a QB that can get him the ball.  He was successful 2 seasons ago when Kurt Warner was throwing to him and #3 on the depth chart behind all-stars Boldin and Fitzgerald.  I’m not saying to make him an immediate starter, but when you get deep into the draft it’s hard to decide on players.  Add Breaston to your roster, he will give you some respectable fill-in starts.

5.) Mike Sims-Walker, Brandon Gibson, Danny Amendola – I know it doesn’t help when I put three receivers together, but Sam Bradford is the real deal and these guys are all going to benefit from him.  Sims-Walker has the ability to be a fantasy starter, but it just depends whether he wants to or not.  Gibson is a young, athletic receiver that is on the verge of being a playmaker.  Amendola may be the guy to grab.  He led the NFL in red-zone targets last season.  He also has great hands and can help you out if you need a third receiver for a PPR league.

Running backs are going to be hard to come by this season.  With the increasing use of the dual back system, it is hard to find a worth-while fantasy running back.  Here are five guys that could make or break your team this season.

Running Back Fantasy Busts

1.) Maurice Jones-Drew – The workload is finally taking a toll on MJD and his fantasy numbers.  In 2010 he only recorded three games with 20 fantasy points or more.  With the QB position possibly in the hands of Blaine Gabbert and no play makers at the WR position to speak of, MJD will be asked to carry an even heavier work load than past seasons.  Which, his body may not be able to handle for a full 16 game season.  With the RB pool as pathetic as it is this year, take MJD early, but not too early.

2.) Any Carolina Running Back – It blows my mind that DeAngelo Williams decided to stay in Carolina, when he could have gone anywhere and been the go-to guy.  He now gets to share carries with Jonathan Stewart … AGAIN.  Last season was a perfect indication of what a fantasy disaster this situation can be.  Even when Williams went down last season, Jonathan Stewart played like a turd, which allowed Mike Goodson to make his name in fantasy football.  I would rather take a chance on a lead back like Beanie Wells, Fred Jackson, or LeGarrette Blount than any one of the Carolina trio.

3.) Shonn Green – Green was a major disappointment last season.  Even if LT starts to struggle this season, Joe McKnight is waiting in the wings to steal some touches from Green.  This is another running back situation that fantasy owners should steer clear of if possible.

4.) Jahvid Best – In every pre-fantasy ranking, I see Best in the top 30 players overall.  Are you kidding me? Besides his week two explosion for 40 points last season, he had only two other games in double digit fantasy points.  He is going to have to prove himself before I even consider drafting him in the first 5 rounds this season.  If it were not the season ending surgery to Mikel Leshoure, I would not even consider drafting him at all.

5.) Ryan Matthews – while he has dropped an average of two rounds from last season, a fourth round selection is still too high in my opinion.  With Mike Tolbert still in the mix for the goal line touches, Matthews is really only relevant in PPR leagues.

Fantasy Steals

1.) Peyton Hillis – Even though he wore down at the end of last season, he still has the stuff to be a fantasy stud this season.  Colt McCoy will need to dump the ball off a lot to Hillis this season, since he has no one to throw to down the field, which will be money for owners in PPR leagues.  With Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson (if they can stay healthy) around to take the pressure of Hillis, look for him to put up consistent numbers this season.

2.) Felix Jones – He is now the man in Dallas with only Tashard Choice lurking to take some goal line touches.  Dallas has an explosive offense this season, with a large part of it coming from Jones.  If you are in a PPR league, Jones could end up being a fantasy stud, due to Romo dumping off to him often.  Just keep your fingers crossed he can stay healthy for an entire season with the increased work-load.

3.) LeGarrette Blount – With Cadillac Williams finally out of the picture, Blount is the go-to back for an up and coming Tampa Bay team.  He finished last season strong and I don’t expect a letdown going into this season.  As long as he can keep from getting into a fist fight, Blount could be your #1 RB by season’s end.

4.) BenJarvis Green-Ellis – How can a guy that scored double digit fantasy points in all but 6 games last season be getting drafted in the 7^th round?  With a weak running back pool this season, get this guy as early as you can.  Second on the depth chart is Shane Vareen, a rookie out of California that doesn’t look to take any touches away from BJGE.  With another 16-0 season in the making, look for Ellis to be a huge part of it.

5.) Reggie Bush – Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are out, Daniel Thomas and Reggie Bush are in.  Thomas is a rookie and unproven, so go with Reggie who is sure to give you some good numbers especially in PPR leagues, catching balls out of the back field.

So I tried this last year and kind of s**t the bed, to say the least.  I may share the last name of the great Matthew Berry, but I will admit he is the guy to listen to for fantasy football advice.  For now anyways.

My few good calls included Hakeem Nicks, Darren Mcfadden, and Malcolm Floyd.  Meanwhile, hopefully none of you took my advice when I suggested Chad Henne as a break out quarterback.

If you did take my advice, I apologize, and promise to make it up to you this year.  Here is my 2011 list of fantasy football sleepers and busts.

Quarterback Busts

1.) Michael Vick – Now before you all freak out on me, hear me out.  When picking for fantasy football, you NEVER take a guy with a history of injury problems in the top ten.  With Vick’s style of play, it is almost guaranteed he will be hurt at some point in the season.  Do you really want to pass up a player like Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, Drew Brees, for a guy that is not going to play all 16 games? Not to mention, now that teams are taking him seriously, defenses will be playing him much differently than last season.   If he slips into the second round, by all means grab him.  But get yourself a healthy, consistent scorer in the first round.

2.) Mark Sanchez – I had a hard time putting him on my sleeper list and now that I look back, I should have stuck with my gut.  This guy is never going to get the Jets over the hump of being a great team.  Likewise, he will never be a valuable fantasy option.  He just does not have the tools to put up big numbers worthy of fantasy greatness.  Unless Plaxico returns to his old form, Sanchez should be a back-up for bye weeks at best.

3.) Jay Cutler – This pick is pretty obvious due to the lack of receivers and the fact that he plays like a girl.  I just thought I would list him here in case any of you were sitting on the fence of taking him early.

4.) Kevin Kolb – While ESPN is listing him all over their “sleeper” list, I did not hesitate to put him on my “bust” list.  The guy had a 3-7 record with one of the best, young receiving cores in the league.  He now joins a team with Larry Fitzgerald and … Larry Fitzgerald.  If you take him as your starting quarterback, go ahead and just hand over your money and expect your commish to thank you for playing.

5.) Donovan McNabb – Hopefully after what everyone witnessed last year you wouldn’t consider drafting him.  Who is he going to throw to?  Bernard Berrian has to be pushing 60, Percy Harvin still doesn’t know what day it is, and Visanthe Shiancoe’s penis can’t catch a football.  Had Sydney Rice stayed in Minnesotta, McNabb may have made it to the “sleeper” list, but he didn’t, so therefore, he is a bum.

Quarterback Sleepers

*   This is a great year to grab solid position guys early and wait for a quarterback.  Here are five worth waiting for.

1.)  Sam Bradford – How can you not love what he did his rookie season? Anyone that can make Danny Amendola fantasy relevant is ok in my book.  He now has Mike Sims-Walker capable of making big plays, which makes him a legitimate consideration for waiting in later rounds for your starting QB.

2.) Josh Freeman – I’m finally ready to take this guy seriously.  To lead the Tampa Bay Bucs to a 10-6 record in your first full year as a starter is saying something.  I took a chance with Joe Flacco last year and it worked out well for me.  This year the QB to take a chance on is Freeman.

3.) Matt Ryan – He was already a serviceable fantasy starter, but having Julio Jones and Roddy White on opposite sides of the field to throw to, would make any starting QB fantasy relevant.

4.) Matt Stafford – I’m feeling optimistic this year.  Stafford will play almost an entire season.  Considering he has only played 13 games in two seasons, surely this is his year to stay healthy.  He has flashed signs of being a great NFL QB in his 13 games, and he has a top five WR to throw to.  This is why you can sit and load up on receivers and running backs in the early rounds and then when you are ready, get the steal of the draft.

5.)  Tavaris Jackson -  I’m going out on a huge limb here, and honestly can’t believe I’m writing about him.  But something tells me three or four weeks into the season, you are going to need a QB and Jackson may be the guy to get.  Is he Michael Vick? No. But he was never really given a chance in Minnesota, and will have a familiar face to throw to in Sydney Rice.  A really good familiar face, I might add.  Mike Williams is no slouch at the #2 spot, and the addition of Zach Miller at TE was huge for the Seahawks.  I can’t stress enough to NOT draft him, but keep any eye out a few weeks into the season.

Although if my pastor had an ounce of this guy’s sense of humor, I would line up for a front row seat every Sunday morning. 

You have got to love it when one of God’s messengers quotes lines from Will Ferrell movies in front of millions of people.

However, Thailand has created a new spin on the sport.  Not only did they blindfold the boxers, they got them s**t-ass drunk and placed three of them in a ring rather than two. 

Pure genius.  I am honestly pissed I did not think about this first.  With reality television these days, anything can be picked up by FOX or VH1. 

The only problem would be finding a someone stupid enough to referee the matches.

Outside the state of Ohio, the Miami Heat gained a s**t-ton of followers in their pursuit of not 1, not 2, not 7 championships.  Oh how the tides have turned now that Dallas has spoiled their little party.  This was supposed to be the year Lebron and Bosh finally won a championship and began their dynasty with Dwyane Wade. 

If there is to be an NBA season next year the Heat have got to be worried.  This may have been the easiest road they are ever going to have in their pursuit for multiple championships. 

They began with “breakfast” in the 76ers, which might as well have been my little brother’s pee- wee team in the first round.  The Heat’s “lunch” consisted of the original big three in Boston that will be filing for social security after this season. “Dinner”, or the Bulls, could have been competitive had Carlos Boozer and Luel Deng shown up. Unfortunately for Miami, they had nothing left for dessert in the Dallas Mavericks. 

At the beginning of the playoffs if you would have asked the Heat who they would rather play, the Mavs, Spurs, Lakers, or Thunder, I think it would have been unanimous for the Mavs.  After all, Dallas had been there before with a “soft” Dirk Nowitzki and blew a 2-1 series lead.  Why would it be different this time with players that are 4 years older?  The Heat SHOULD have taken care of them handily after taking a 2-1 lead, but didn’t.  They let their egos get in the way of what they set out to do in the first place.  Once they realized the Mavs were not going to roll over and die, it was over before the big two and a half even knew what hit them. 

Look at the years to come now.   They have created the need for other “super teams” to be created. 

New York has already begun the process with Amare and Carmello.  The rumors were out that Chris Paul would be joining them, which would instantly make them the second best team in the East, behind Miami.  Then there is Chicago, the sneaky #1 seed of this season.   Derek Rose is only going to get better, which is damn scary, and with a couple good roster moves the Bulls could keep that #1 seed for years to come.  Atlanta will continue to be that pesky team, starving for another upset, and the Celtics will still be competitive, despite their age, they are winners.  That is just in the East division! 

If they somehow make it through that gauntlet what awaits are the likes of a young, athletic, Thunder team that showed they belong with the elite, a Laker team that is on the verge of signing Dwight Howard (Shaq clone), the Mavericks, who will be out to prove this year was not a fluke, and I’ll mention the Spurs for the simple fact they are the Spurs. 

So Miami, you may be only one season into this horrible experiment, but it may be time to get your hand near that panic button.  Just sayin’…

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a gallery of a hot chick. So in remembrance of Hump Day Hotties, we present professional surfer Alana Blanchard.

From Wikipedia:

Alana Blanchard (born March 5, 1990) is an American professional surfer. At 21 years of age, Blanchard has gained fame as “the hottest surfer in the world,” according to TW SURF, and “one of the best female surfers,” according to Freaksurf Mag. Alana is a ASP World Tour surfer, based in Kauai, Hawaii.

She is associated with fellow surfer Bethany Hamilton, reportedly, she was present when Hamilton suffered the shark attack that cost her an arm and about 3 liters of blood, and Hamilton survived largely due to the rescue efforts of Blanchard, her father and brother. She is played by actress Lorraine Nicholson in the 2011 film Soul Surfer.

Yes, the self- indulgent wide receiver has once again turned to his best, and possibly only friend, Twitter, to voice his displeasure with his relationship with head coach, Marvin Lewis. 

Chad was asked by a fellow tweeter if the Bengals were to draft A.J. Green in this year’s draft, would the team be “letting you go?” 

Ochocinco obviously took this question to heart and replied with, “He’d be perfect, I’ve done all I can, my time is up.” 

By “done all I can,” I’m assuming he is referring to his subpar career performances, scaring off quarterback Carson Palmer, and appearing in the some of the worst reality shows known to mankind.  

If that’s all he can do, then please, Chad, do yourself a favor and remove yourself from the NFL completely. 

I don’t know that there has been another player that has kept themselves from being a dominant player, like Ochocinco has. 

Over the past few years, he has become obsessed with social networking and reality television.  So much so that helping his team win a championship has taken a back seat to all the other s**t. 

Chad followed up the aforementioned tweet with a jab at coach Lewis. 

“I love Cincy, but coach Lewis is mean to me now so I think I am gone :( .” 

First of all, any dude that follows a statement with a frowny face or smiley face is a huge p***y.  I’m pretty sure there is a man-law outlawing this type of behavior. 

Secondly, can someone get this whiney little fruitcake some chocolate milk and put him to bed. 

Everyone should feel so bad for this grown MAN because his coach is being mean to him.  How many head coaches are actually NICE to their players, all of the time? 

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess none.  Marvin Lewis should never be nice to this turd in the first place.  Surely no Bengal fan has forgotten the incident that occurred in the locker room at half time of the 2007 playoffs, where Chad punched Lewis in the face. 

For those of you reading this saying, “that didn’t happen, who does this guy think he is?”, don’t be so naïve. 

I listen to the Common Man and the Torg in Columbus, Ohio everyday, and the former Bengal, Craig Krenzel is a frequent guest.  

Krenzel has never said it on air, but Common Man has stated that a player they know admitted that Ochocinco did punch Lewis during halftime. 

Chad’s final tweets of:

“he has gone over board to publicly chastize the one guy who loves him I’m so hurt”

“serious s**t, y’all ever lost somebody you felt was close to u but they flip on you without giving u the script.Marvin Lewis hurt my feelings”

This just goes to show how much of a drama queen he really is and how much he relies on his internet followers to boost his morale.

All Bengals fans should be burning their #85 jerseys and dancing naked in the streets now  that the final days of Ochocrapo are upon them. 

Of course Mike Brown is not going to make this easy on anyone.  Rather than trade Palmer and Ochocinco for draft picks and reconstruct the team, he will hold out so that Palmer retires and Chad sits out a year, just to satisfy himself. 

At least future seasons will not include lame-ass end zone celebrations and constant bitching EVERY time the ball is not thrown their way.

A.J. Green and Andy Dalton — welcome to the circus.

Yeah, it took a while, but like fine wine, it was well worth the wait.

Even if you’re new to the vote, you can still join in now. The four regions are: Sports Girls, Hollywood, Music and Models.

The winner of the Sports Girls Region is #5 seed Stacy Kiebler. She walloped #2 seed Erin Andrews last round 67%-33%. That’s an astounding 2-to-1 slamming. JOCKpost voters have spoken, and they like Stacy Kiebler’s backside.

The winner of the Hollywood Region is #7 seed Jessica Alba. She took on a surprisingly sassy Eva Mendes, who came in just a #9 seed. In the end the vote wasn’t close, as Alba won by a 64% to 34% margin. Again, almost 2-to-1.

In the Final Four, Stacy Kiebler will take on Jessica Alba. Since they both have won in relatively easy fashion until now, it will be interesting to see who wins this matchup.

The Music Region had Nicole Sherzinger of p***ycat Dolls up against Willa Ford. Both are sufficiently slutty, but Sherzinger won 59% to 41%.

The fourth and final region, the Models Region, understandably had some of the most ridiculous women in the world. The Elite Eight matchup was Brooklyn Decker vs. Marisa Miller.  Now that’s a matchup. Marisa won 60% to 40%.

The right side of the bracket will feature Nicole Sherzinger vs. Marisa Miller.

Let the voting begin.
