DT was at last night’s game, featuring the Indians, Yankees and one really dumb motherfucker.  He claims no one is doing the LeBron-James-jersey-guy-thing in Cleveland justice.  DT, take it away…

In Cleveland, the bleacher seats in left field are where die hard fans congregate to enjoy their Indians. Win or lose, the fanatics out there cheer with everything they have, regardless of the team’s abysmal record. The fans don’t just cheer for their team, but more importantly they cheer for their city.

The bleachers are known for cheap tickets, a great view of the field, and are the stomping ground for some of the stadiums most beloved vendors… “IT’S THE BEEEEEER GUY!”

With the New York Yankees in town, an exceptionally large crowd packed into Progressive Field Wednesday night. Most were hoping to witness Alex Rodriguez’s 600th home run, but the folks in the left field bleachers got to enjoy a much more entertaining event.

While seeing A-Roid smack number 600 would have been a rare feat, nestled in the bleachers was something even more rare. Something that may never be seen again in the confines of Progressive Field! Plopped down in the heart of the bleachers say a very brave man sporting a Lebron James Miami Heat jersey.

Too soon, bro.

‘John Edwards stepping out on Elizabeth during chemo’ thinks that was a poor decision, and it didn’t take long for the Cleveland bleacher creatures to take an interest.

The man was taunted, ridiculed and pelted with food as he was chased from his seat by proud Cleveland fans. “ASSSSSSSSS-HOLE” chants rang out and the stadium was more electric than it has been since the ’97 World Series. The man and his girlfriend eventually needed to be escorted by police out of the stadium, and that was probably for the best. The way the beer flows in the bleacher seats, the scene could have become much uglier.

I must say that I am a little embarrassed at the way the people of Cleveland handled the situation. In fact, I was down right disgusted by the whole incident! To throw hot dogs at this man, shower him with popcorn, and douse him with beer is absolutely unacceptable. For a Clevelander to show such reprehensible judgment is not something that I would expect to see from a city with such pride.

After all, beers at Progressive Field are like $7.50. I would have soaked that traitor-loving dipshit with something much less expensive than that.

There are many unwritten rules of society that people should follow. You know the typical ones; don’t wear white after labor day, don’t talk with your mouth full, whisper in the library, and DON’T FUCKING WEAR A LEBRON JAMES MIAMI HEAT JERSEY TO A CLEVELAND INDIANS GAME.

It seems one special individual was not aware of this rule. Last night, at the Indians/Yankees game, the guy in the picture below was escorted from Progressive Field because hundreds (thousands if it were not an Indians game) of people were chanting obscenities at him in left field.

Security felt the fan was a distraction and a safety concern. As you can see from the way he is acting, he deserved more than a few fuck you’s. A few beer bottles across the head and a public caning might have been more appropriate.

I’m sure this doucher special ordered this jersey just to spite people, because there is no way in hell those are for sale anywhere in the state of Ohio. Let this be a life lesson to all those that feel they need special attention when they go out into public.

If you are going to wear a Lebron James jersey of any kind, make sure it is outside the state of Ohio.

Thanks go out to The Trucker’s Friend for the video.

Like I said, normally I would have just brushed this off as a normal baseball saying and moved on. But I noticed the ol’ lady in the passenger seat giggling, and she responded, “haha, his stuff is nasty”, which of course in her head has nothing to do with sports (You can tell we have an extremely mature relationship).

But it made me realize, how often do we listen to sports when there are sayings that could be taken as sexual? It happens all the time, but I am so immune to these sayings, that I don’t even think of them as being anything other than what they are. But it also made me want to think of the funniest sexual innuendos in sports. And I’m not talking about your Tight End, Slot Receiver, Wide Receiver nonsense. I want some sayings that are borderline ridiculous. So here is a list that myself along with some help from MC McMahon have put together. I know there are a lot more out there, so if you can think of anymore, please let us know!

• Put it in the hole! (Tiger is perfectly aware of this one)
• He shot that right in his man’s face
• He needs to penetrate the hole and explode through it
• Those guys are trading blows
• They need to pound it up the middle
• He’s having a hard time getting loose
• That hole was so big you could drive a truck through it
• He’s heading to the sideline for a quick blow
• He’s trying to force it in there
• He’s going deep/He’s going long
• He’s struggling to keep it up
• He’s pushing too hard
• The grizzled veteran showing the young man the ropes
• Watch out for the backside
• That pitcher’s really trying to come inside

Every fantasy season there are those players that come out of nowhere. By season’s end you find yourself asking, “Why the hell didn’t I draft that guy?”

Last season players like Miles Austin, Jamaal Charles, Mike Sims-Walker, Ray Rice came out of the woodwork and helped millions of dudes win their respected leagues. If you are like me, you scour the free agent list week after week trying to find these soon-to-be fantasy studs.

Then there are the guys that you think are a sure thing to help your team, but end up being a bigger bust than Darko Milicic. Below, I have compiled a list of guys you may want to take a look at grabbing in later rounds who could turn out to be major players.

Quarterbacks

1.) Tim Tebow – Denver … just kidding. If anyone drafts him at any point in your league, make fun of him for the entire season. I know I will be.

2.) Chad Henne – Miami. Look for a breakout year from him this year. He was a respectable fill-in last year for bye weeks and injuries, but this year I would not be surprised to see a lot of fantasy players starting him throughout the season. All he has to do is throw the ball in the air and Brandon Marshall will come down with it, or fire it to other maturing role players like Devonne Bess and Brian Hartline.

3.) Mark Sanchez – New York Jets. I ragged on everyone last year for drafting this turd. This year I will still rag on people, but not as bad seeing as he did get a lot of experience last year all the way into the second round of the playoffs. The Jets did add a Super Bowl MVP in Santonio Holmes, but the Sanchise won’t see him until later in the season. I’m not ready to crown him fantasy-starter worthy just yet, but I don’t think he is far off.

4.) Vince Young – I’m going to give Vince one last chance to show he can be a major player in fantasy football leagues. Any player with the ability of Young should be able to put up some points week in and week out. Especially when you have the best dual threat running back in the league. Nate Washington, Kenny Britt, and Justin Gage are good young receivers that can get open and pad Young’s stats. You also can’t ignore the fact he can tuck the ball and get down the field as quick as anyone.

5.) Kevin Kolb – Philadelphia. Not really a sleeper, even though he hasn’t proven anything yet. With the talent around him though, I would definitely take a chance on making him my full time starter.

6.) Matt Stafford – Detroit. He showed Lion’s fans that he is the man for years to come. With a year of experience under his belt he could be a serviceable fill-in for a player suffering an injury or bye week.

Running Backs

1.) Shonn Green – New York Jets. He is the man now in the backfield. Some, may accuse you of reaching if you take him early, but tell those guys to suck it because you have last year’s Ray Rice.

2.) Jamaal Charles – Kansas City. He should pick up right where he left off last year. I picked this guy up late in the season and he was my leading scorer almost every week. Thomas Jones may take some of his touches, but not many. If he is available early, take him.

3.) Ryan Matthews – San Diego. I’m going to go ahead and crown Matthews steal of the draft already. He could not have asked for a better position to be put in. Sproles will still get touches, but Ryan will be the one you see near the goal line, which is where you really get your points.

4.) Jahvid Best – Detroit. The job is still Kevin Jones’ to lose, but if this season is like the last two, Jones will be banged up and give you a good game one every three. Don’t take Best early, but if he is available in later rounds and your not sure where to go, grab him. He also has durability issues, but he is worth the risk.

5.) Darren McFadden – Oakland. Yes, I know, putting a Raider on the sleeper list is flirting with constant criticism, but I really think having Jason Campbell at QB is going to change the way this team plays. Campbell is experienced and is extremely efficient. Look for a lot of dump-offs to McFadden that will really benefit you in a PPR league. The O-line is getting pretty respectible, so they should be able to open some holes for him and watch him go to work like he did for Arkansas.

Wide Recievers

If you are in a 3WR league, most of these guys are your third, possibly second tier guys you should be able to pick up 3rd round and later.

1.) Malcolm Floyd – San Diego. Vincent Jackson clone.

2.) Demaryius Thomas – Denver.  Possible Brandon Marshall Jr.

3.) Mike Wallace – Pittsburgh.  Should step right into Santonio Holmes’ shoes

4.) Michael Crabtree – San Francisco.  Alex Smith has to throw to someone

5.) Anthony Gonzalez – Colts.  Was a second round pick in almost all leagues last year. Should be ready to make up for the loss of last season.

6.) Dez Bryant – Dallas. Behind Roy Williams on the depth chart right now, but he will be carrying Bryant’s pads by season end.

7.) Hakeem Nicks – New York Giants. Nicks should make everyone forget about that Plaxico guy.

8.) Darius Hayward-Bay – Oakland.  I see a break-out season for this guy with an experienced QB throwing to him.

9.) Julian Edelman – New England.  If Welker is any bit rusty, Edelman has proven he can step in and catch 8-10 passes a game.

10.) Mohamed Massaquoi – Cleveland.  I had to put at least one Brown on here. When Delhomme isn’t throwing interceptions, they should be completions to this guy.

11.) Devone Bess – Miami. When Brandon Marshall is atracting all the defenders, look for Bess to reap the benefits.

Tight-ends

1.) Zack Miller – Oakland.  See Darius Hayward-Bay.

2.) Jermaine Gresham – Cincinnati.  The Bengals finally have an offensive weapon at TE. I have heard nothing but amazing things about this guy and could turn out to be a huge steal in any fantasy draft. Or be a typical Bengal and get suspended for a season.

3.) John Carlson – Seattle.  After getting me all excited last year when he scored two TD’s in the first game of the season, Hasselbeck went down and so did Carlson’s fantasy relevance. He still has the ability to be a viable option at TE if you want to wait and get one in a later round.

4.) Anthony Fasano – Miami.  He showed some signs last season he might be useful for some fill-in weeks. But, this year with Henne as the definate starter, look for his targets to go up.

But here’s my suggestion to you, Miami Heat. Sign me, this guy, the writer. I will only cost a fraction of those other zombies, and I will bring the fun.

Don’t think so? Just check out this pic of me as the best man at a wedding.  That’s fun fucking defined. Nothing says “team chemistry” like a pan full of whipped cream to the face. Look at MLB-they do that shit all the time. Plus I’m a BIG fan of partying. I will take all “NBA-Road-Skank” gathering duties from Dwyane Wade and the Dirtbag Duo, and allow them to focus on crushing the league.

Since I won’t be drawing any minutes from my spot at the end of the bench, I will have plenty of ho scoutin’ time. I’ve also drawn up a handy contract that all skeezers MUST sign before they even get to look at my Three New Best Friends. See BELOW. And with the salary I’ll be drawing, I’ll make Brian Scalabrine look like the potato mashin’ bum that he dresses like. I excel at towel-waving, fist-bumping, and friend-making. My only drawback? I’m whiter than a nun’s undies, so I don’t do so well on the actual beach. Nothing a little (a lot) SPF can’t handle!!

So c’mon, whaddya say Coach Riles??! Give a guy a break. Fuck Spoelstra, they won’t listen to him anyway-I’m the straw that stirs the drink!!

——————

Contract to be in the presence of Dwayne Wade and The Dirtbag Duo(aka LeBron James and Chris Bosh)

I, (slut’s name goes here), hereby do agree that, in order to spend time with the above mentioned three (3) persons, I shall abide by the following regulations. Should I violate or deviate from any of the following regulations, I also consent to the punishments results.

1. I agree that, should I bang LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and/or Chris Bosh, I will not claim they “put it in my butt” after the fact, even if they did. Should such a ridiculous claim be made, I will allow Larry King to interview me, while referring to me only as “whore, slut, hussy, harlot, skank, skeezer, lot lizard, gutter snipe, etc.” It will be broadcast live, as if it’s the State of the Union. On all networks.
2. In the aforementioned event, prior to the live television extravaganza known as “The Exposition”, I will get a large, scarlet “a”, tattooed on my forehead. Mr. King will occasionally refer to my new mark.
3. Should one of the three, (Wade, James, and/or Bosh), decide to “leave one in me”, and I spawn a “love child”, I agree not to go public with the claim. I agree that it will be on my own dirty, whorish fault if I become pregnant. Should I go public with the revelation, I agree to forfeit my custody to the above mentioned player, and I will also make a donation to the charity of their choice.

 I agree to all above clauses, and any other that the above mentioned three (3) players can think of.

Slut’s Name _______________________________     

Date_______________________

He talked to his 13-year-old daughter every day.  His mother begged him through the media to call her back.  His entire family has been worried beyond sick for a week and a half.

I lived in Memphis in 1996-7 and I remember how big of a deal he was there.  They take their college basketball very seriously. 

After a day had passed and the APB from the media did not locate him, my thoughts turned even more grim.  I then hoped they would find his body so at least his family would have some closure.

That day has tragically come.

Police have not ruled what type of death it was.  No suspects have been named.   Only recently have reports popped up telling of his body being found in a wooded area near where he was last seen.

The initial injury occurred at the 2010 IKF World Classic Championships that were held at the Orlando World Center Mariott Resort last weekend. The tournament was sponsored by the International Kickboxing Federation. IKF officials could not be reached for comment.

“Simmons suffered severe head trauma in spite of wearing the mandatory protective head gear for amateur competitions in Florida Legal competition head gear has no jaw bars and less padding on the ears which would allow for a serious concussion to develop if the force of the impact landed on the unprotected portion of a fighters face.” – Examiner

There are many fingers being pointed.  Many of the people placing blame seem to be trying to shift blame elsewhere.  Who was to fault for such a tragedy or was it merely an accident?

WFTV reports that the fighter’s boyfriend and trainer “were upset because there was no medical staff at the fight.” 

Who regulates such an event that the protective gear does not protect and there are no medics or ambulance on sight? 

Lindsay Scheer’s trainer, Eric Haycraft posted his statement as to the events.  Simmons’ boyfriend Chike Lindsay stated “I never really wanted her to fight, I just wanted her to feel stronger and better about herself.” 

Lindsay further spoke out stating that the fight organizers should have never had Scheer fight Simmons as Scheer was an extremely skilled, veteran fighter where Simmons was not.  That compiled with the lack of medical staff – I wouldn’t be surprised if a wrongful death claim comes from all of this.
 
A sheriff’s office spokeswoman says the death is considered an accident as Simmons died Tuesday from fatal injuries 2 days after she had been knocked out at the tournament and life-flighted to the hospital. 

RIP, Adrienne Simmons.

But when you lose you best player TO education, you have to wonder, what the hell is this kid thinking?

Kevin Coble led the Wildcats in scoring and rebounding his freshman, sophomore, and junior season. He had to sit out last year due to a foot injury, but was expected to come back this year and possibly lead Northwestern to it’s first NCAA tournament appearance in school history. But instead, Coble has decided to concentrate on his Political Science degree, and forgo his senior season. You know, because that sounds like a lot more fun than playing basketball. And for a Political Science Degree? Mc McMahon was a Poly-Sci major, so you know it can’t be THAT difficult.

It isn’t often that the best player on your team quits his senior year, but in this case, it would appear that there could be more to this story. Apparently, Coble was not known as a social butterfly. He was referred to as “different”, and at times would not even sit with the team during meals. And even though his quitting might not come as a shock to some of his teammates, fans of Northwestern basketball have to be a bit disappointed.

It’s just a shame this guy didn’t have it in him to finish out his senior year and possibly try and get drafted by the NBA. You know the Jazz and Pacers are always looking to draft players just like him.

It has been reported that Coghlan tore his maniscus in his knee while landing awkwardly after he slammed a pie into a teammate’s face.

He could be out 6-8 weeks if surgery is needed.

The video is on Pro Rumors, but it’s literally a half a second long at the very end of the video.

When will these guys ever learn? The team has banned pie celebrations.

Tatum was one of the best defensive backs of all time, in both pro and college.  He was a key member of the 1968 Ohio State National Championship team.  In the 1976 season he led one of most hard-nosed Raiders defenses to a Super Bowl championship.

Two moments in his career for which he is particularly known, The Immaculate Reception and the Darryl Stingley injury do not do his career justice.

I would prefer to remember him as the man who crushed Sammy White in Super Bowl XI.

Known as “The Assassin”, Tatum was respected throughout the league as one of the toughest and hardest hitters in all of football.  He was often charged with the responsibility of guarding the other team’s best receiver, but could easily step up and play linebacker if needed.  He understood the importance of tackling through the ball carrier — and the ball carrier paid the price.

In his honor, we present to you, The Top Ten Toughest Defensive NFL Players of All-Time.

#10 Jim Marshall

#9 Mike Curtis

#8 Larry Wilson

#7 Chuck Bednarik

#6 Hardy Brown

#5 Dick Lane

#4 Mean Joe Greene

#3 Jack Tatum

#2 Deacon Jones

#1 Dick Butkus

Honorable Mentions: Ronnie Lott, Jack Lambert, Ray Lewis, Lawrence Taylor, Bill Romanowski.

The Cincinnati Bungals interest in TO is almost cliché. It’s too perfect. A match made in fuck-up heaven. A team renowned for their off-the-field problems interested in the ultimate distraction. A few years back, they made a concerted effort to change their image, but they appear to have re-entered the Eminem “Just Don’t Give a Fuck” zone again. Their roster activity has turned resident Clown Prince in Charge Chad Johnson into just another clown. Last year’s signing of the ever-wasted Cedric Benson was just the first in a series of mind-fuckingly crazy roster moves.

This past February, the Bungals signed free agent wide out Matt Jones. Yes, I’m talking about THAT Matt Jones-he of the arrest at gunpoint with 2 8 balls in his car. And yes, he of the 2^nd arrest for a failed drug test. Astoundingly, he is not even the worst behaved Jones on the team, and possibly not even the worst behaved at his position. Only in Cincinnati. 

In March of this year, the Bungals also signed perennial malcontent wide receiver Antonio Bryant. A man who loved drugs so much, he actually sued the NFL  to stop drug testing him. He will fit in nicely in the orange and black. Having previously been released by 2 teams because of clashes with the coaches, he should find little trouble in Cincy. Pillsbury Dough Boy head Coach Marvin Lewis takes shit from players better than anyone in the game. So for those of you tallying at home, just in the receiving corps, we have 2 drug-related suspensions, 2 drug related arrests, and 2 reality TV shows (assuming TO signs). This doesn’t include the team’s signing of returner/perpetual degenerate Pacman Jones. What could possibly go wrong??

Then we have the New York Jets expressing interest in the loud-mouthed receiver’s talents. And why not? They’ve signed a ton of other aging and troubled players so far. And imagine the trouble TO could cause in the bright lights big city ?!?! I’m getting giddy just thinking about it. The cameras of his TV show following him around the Big Apple as he tries to show off?? Or he and Antonio Cromartie cruising for tail together??  It’s almost too much. And adding him to an already asshol-ish duo of Braylon Edwards and the always pleasant Santonio Holmes is a recipe for a sideline free-for-all the likes of which the league hasn’t seen since coach Rex Ryan’s dad Buddy attacked Kevin Gilbride. No matter where the prima donna signs, one thing is certain-it’s time to getcha popcorn ready!!

And while some people might look at this as a sincere moment for a professional athlete that just wanted to see his friend, I look at it as someone who has never, and continues to not give a shit about his team.

Adam Dunn has always been a lazy, good for only hitting meaningless homeruns, asshole who has always been a cancer in the locker room. His lackadaisical attitude, and horrible defense has been over-shadowed by the fact that he can hit homeruns, but there’s a reason one of the top power hitters in the game can only get signed by the Nationals. No one wants him in their dugout – and with good reason.

Dunn, while in Cincinnati, made everyone on the team lazier. He always acted as if baseball was just something that he lucked into, rather than a game that he has always loved. That kind of attitude makes the rest of the team feel as if they don’t have to try as hard, especially when there are young players like Jay Bruce, and Joey Votto looking up to him. The Reds knew this kind of attitude would never turn into a winner, so they got rid of him.

The Nationals are now in a similar situation, probably looking to trade their best hitter. And once again – with good reason.

Dunn did not even tell his manager that he was going to visit Uecker up in the booth DURING the game. And even though he wasn’t starting, he still has to have the respect of his manager to at least tell the guy.

“I could [not] care less if I get in trouble for going up and seeing my guy after he had heart surgery,” Dunn said. “I’ll pay my fine.”

Maybe I am overreacting a bit. I admittedly do not like Adam Dunn and his could give a fuck less attitude. But he really couldn’t find a better time then during a game to go up and see his good pal? Not before the game? Or after?

Adam Dunn will probably find himself in a White Sox or Tigers uniform before the trade deadline expires, and if that is the case, I expect whichever team he goes to to not make the playoffs. He is not a winner, he has never been a winner, and he will never be a winner. And while I am extremely happy that the great Bob Uecker is healthy and back in the booth, this once again proves that Adam Dunn could really give a damn about his teammates – and the teams that are looking to trade for him better be aware of what they are getting.

Now that the Lebron debacle is finally out of the ESPN headlines, and another lazy summer is slowly drawing to an end, sports fans can rejoice in the realization that fantasy football is right around the corner! Whether you are new to the fantasy football or a grizzled veteran, nothing brings people together around the water cooler Monday mornings quite like a 5 touchdown performance by Peyton Manning, 200 yards rushing by Maurice Jones-Drew, or the Jets D shutting out their opponent.

I have enlisted the help of Tumor, a friend of JOCKpost to help get another perspective to the top talents in 2010. Despite his bizarre nickname, Tumor is an established fantasy football player with whom I have been competing in leagues with since the 90’s. I asked him to help put together a comprehensive list of the top 10 players at each position.

Don’t agree with the rankings? Leave a comment and tell us who we missed on!

Top Ten QB

1: DT- Drew Brees / TUMOR- Peyton Manning
2: DT- Peyton Manning / TUMOR – Drew Brees
3: DT- Aaron Rodgers / TUMOR – Tom Brady
4: DT- Matt Schaub / TUMOR – Aaron Rogers
5: DT- Tony Romo / TUMOR – Tony Romo
6: DT- Tom Brady / TUMOR – Matt Schaub
7: DT- Phillip Rivers / TUMOR – Phillip Rivers
8: DT- Brett Favre (assuming he comes back) / TUMOR – Eli Manning
9: DT- Eli Manning / TUMOR – Joe Flacco
10: DT- Kevin Kolb / TUMOR – Matt Ryan

Quarterback is a particularly deep position this year, and those who wait to pull the trigger will be rewarded. Brees, Manning, and Rodgers are historically tier 1 talents, and 2010 should prove no different. Each QB is comfortable in their established systems, have top notch wide receivers, and running games that are somewhat of an afterthought. Rivers, as he always does, should outperform his average draft position.

TUMOR’S TAKE- Peyton is the MAN. Year in and year out, he gets it done. 4000 yards and 30 TDs. Mark it down! Matty Ice is due for a bounce back year after his sophomore slump in HotLanta.

Top Ten RB

1: DT- Adrian Peterson / TUMOR – Chris Johnson
2: DT- Chris Johnson / TUMOR – Adrian Peterson
3: DT- Maurice Jones Drew / TUMOR – Maurice Jones Drew
4: DT- Ray Rice / TUMOR – Ray Rice
5: DT- Frank Gore / TUMOR – Steven Jackson
6: DT- Rashard Mendenhall / TUMOR – Michael Turner
7: DT- Steven Jackson / TUMOR – Cedric Benson
8: DT- Michael Turner / TUMOR – Frank Gore
9: DT- Cedric Benson / TUMOR – Rashard Mendenhall
10: DT- Matt Forte / TUMOR – Deangelo Williams

For years, fantasy experts have spent their first two picks on the running back position, making sure they have a pair of work horses at the games most consistent position. However, the new trend among these same experts has been to shy away from drafting running backs with your first two picks. Let me be the first to tell you that this trend is an awful idea. Running back, running back is the only way to go, with the lone exception of Drew Brees and maybe Andre Johnson.

While the running back by committee approach is widely adopted, there is still clearly an alpha dog in just about every situation. Waiting more than a few rounds to secure your backfield could lead to a Jerome Harrison, Reggie Bush backfield that will surely lead you to fantasy football irrelevance. Peterson tops my list because of his bruising style, goal line touches, ball security improvement drills in the off season, and a quarterback who may finally understand the repercussions of trusting his ever-aging arm.  Turner’s injury bug drops him a few spots, and I look for Matt Forte to have a huge rebound year in the Windy City.

TUMORS TAKE – RB RB is NOT the only way to go… gotta grab Brees or Manning if you can in the first. The fact that you don’t have Chris Johnson #1 proves that you are an idiot. The guy can break a big play at anytime. Steven Jackson is a beast and still produces despite being in that terrible offense.

Top Ten WR

1: DT- Andre Johnson / TUMOR – Andre Johnson
2: DT- Reggie Wayne / TUMOR – Larry Fitzgerald
3: DT- Larry Fitzgerald / TUMOR – Reggie Wayne
4: DT- Randy Moss / TUMOR – Randy Moss
5: DT- Marques Colston / TUMOR – Brandon Marshall
6: DT- Miles Austin / TUMOR – Calvin Johnson
7: DT- Roddy White / TUMOR – Roddy White
8: DT- Calvin Johnson / TUMOR – DeSean Jackson
9: DT- Greg Jennings / TUMOR – Anquan Boldin
10: DT- DeSean Jackson / TUMOR – Greg Jennings

Another VERY deep position with serviceable options into the late rounds, WR presents a few sleepers that turn into must starts year after year (see; Austin, Miles and Simms-Walker, Mike). Andre Johnson tops both lists, as he is an absolute freak in terms of size, speed, and ability and has a QB that is ready to air it out for him every chance he gets. Calvin Johnson and DeSean Jackson slide on my list, as I don’t trust either of their gun slingers to deliver the ball consistently.

TUMOR’S TAKE – Brandon Marshall has unbelievable talent, but in South Beach he could get himself into some serious trouble. Boldin is one of the toughest receivers in the NFL, and is a perfect fit for the Ravens!

Top Ten TE

1: DT- Dallas Clark / TUMOR – Antonio Gates
2: DT- Antonio Gates / TUMOR – Dallas Clark
3: DT- Jermichael Finley / TUMOR – Brent Celek
4: DT- Brent Celek / TUMOR – Vernon Davis
5: DT- Chris Cooley / TUMOR – Jason Witten
6: DT- Jason Witten / TUMOR – Jermichael Finley
7: DT- Vernon Davis / TUMOR – Owen Daniels
8: DT- Kellen Winslow / TUMOR – Tony Gonzalez
9: DT- Tony Gonzalez / TUMOR – Visanthe Shiancoe
10: DT- Owen Daniels / TUMOR – Kellen Winslow

Dallas Clark is a pass catching machine, and has a nose for finding the end zone, so he barely edges out Gates for the number one spot. Finley may be a surprise choice at the number 3 spot, but Green Bay has enough weapons that the young tight end should emerge as a surprise stud this year while facing single coverage. Vernon Davis’s slide to number 7, despite being one of the most talented tight ends, can be attributed to a sub par quarterback and an even more sub par receiving corp around him, I’m looking at you Michael Crabtree. Brent Celek should benefit from the McNabb to Kolb transition, as should Chris Cooley.

TUMOR’S TAKE – Witten is my bounce back guy. Good running game and vertical threats open up the middle for Witten. Shiancoe’s success relies on the shoulders of the Old Gunslinger.

Top Ten DEFENSES

1: DT- Jets / TUMOR – Jets
2: DT- Vikings / TUMOR – Vikings
3: DT- Ravens / TUMOR – Packers
4: DT- Eagles / TUMOR – Ravens
5: DT- Steelers / TUMOR – Steelers
6: DT- Vikings / TUMOR – Cowboys
7: DT- Giants / TUMOR – Saints
8: DT- Packers / TUMOR – 49ers
9: DT- Saints / TUMOR – Eagles
10: DT- Browns / TUMOR – Bears

On the defensive side of the ball, there is Derrell Revis and then everybody else. The Jets blitz from all angles and created plenty of turnovers last year, and the addition of another solid cornerback only helps the cause. If Troy Polamalu comes back healthy, the Steelers are always a dangerous defensive team. I was just kidding about the Browns. Just making sure you’re paying attention.

TUMOR’S TAKE – Singletary will have San Fran like the old time Bears. Speaking of the Bears, if Urlacher and Peppers play to their ability, this team could surprise!

Top Ten Kickers

Seriously… who cares? Pick them last and don’t worry about it!

Professional football players, however, are usually a different breed. Like most athletes, I am sure they do like to get their groove on, but with all the ‘roids and ass-kicking that goes on, you would think that the first love in their life would have to be football. It is their life.

But in the case of Jason Taylor, he is either trying to come off as someone who is truely in love with his wife, or he is basically saying that football is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

When asked the question, what’s better: sex or sacks, you would think he would like to prove his manliness by saying football is his life, but instead his answer was much more like a dude that works at Macy’s.

“Sex with my wife is much better than sacks.”

Nice move Jason. While this might win you some points in the bedroom with the ol’ lady, I would hope his new Jets’ teammates would at least give him a little shit in the locker room. But then again, after looking at his wife, I can see why he might think this way.

When Bryant was asked to carry the shoulder pads of veteran reciever Roy Williams, Bryant took a stance that most rookies would not even think of. Unless, of course, they are egotistical assholes like it appears Bryant is ultimately becoming.

“I’m not doing it,” Bryant said. “I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads.”

Bryant, who is probably going to take the starting job away from Roy Williams, is obviously not aware of the protocol when it comes to being a rookie. Hazing is definitely a part of the team building process that teams at any age group have to go through. Just because now you are getting paid a ridiculous amount of money, doesn’t mean that you deserve any type of preferential treatment. And Roy Williams knows this as much as anyone.

“Everybody has to go through it,” Williams said. “I had to go through it. No matter if you’re a No. 1 pick or the 7,000th pick, you’ve still got to do something when you’re a rookie. “I carried pads. I paid for dinners. I paid for lunches. I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn’t want to be that guy.”

In Williams’ defense, he has never wanted to be “that” guy on the field either. He is about a big of a disappointment as it gets when it comes to high draft picks, but the fact that Byrant feels that he doesn’t have to carry a veteran’s should pads, clearly shows that he already is becoming a full of himself prima donna.

And even though he might have talent that matches Randy Moss, he better learn the way Randy learned, or else he will find himself being the next T.O.

With the 2010 NBA free agent disaster behind us, there have been some clear winners and some clear losers across the board. Let’s take a look at a few of them…

WINNER - Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh isn’t nearly as good as you think. Chris Bosh is not a headliner and I think even Chris Bosh realized that. By joining forces with Lebron and D-Wade in Miami, Bosh can continue to ride the coat tails of his two talented friends and not worry about leading a team by himself… something that Bosh is completely incapable of doing despite being the highest paid player on the team.

LOSER - The Chicago Bulls. The Bulls had dreams of pairing their young core of talented players with Wade or Lebron in hopes of matching the success of their Jordan led teams of the ’90’s. Unfortunately for the Windy City, they were left at the alter by The King and D-Wade and had their hand forced to over pay an aging Carlos Boozer.

WINNER - Carlos Boozer. Boozer walks into a fantastic situation with the Bulls. Boozer is still a productive scorer and though he may never again perform like an all-star caliber player again, he was certainly paid like one. His 5 year $80 million dollar contract assures that he will be raking in the cash into his mid-30’s… Why do I have a feeling that in a few years, someone will write an article about the worst salaries in the NBA, and Boozer’s $17 million at the injury riddled age of 35 will be the lead dog?

LOSER - The New York Knicks. Amare’ Stoudemire is a nice addition, though I would speculate he will also be on that list with Mr. Boozer. Amare flourished with Steve Nash on the offensive end of the floor, but will not be able to lead this band of Big Apple misfits anywhere near the top of the Eastern Conference. All the cap room in the world couldn’t help The City land Lebron or a chance to contend anytime soon.

WINNER - The Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant. Durant signed a 5 year extension with his team, showing that some star quality players still know what it’s all about. Durant has the swagger to believe that he can win in OKC without relying on someone else, and for that he has quickly become one of the most respected player in the league. Durant signed his contract without an “opt out” clause, something Lebron never did. By doing so, free agents won’t be afraid to sign a deal with OKC for fear that Durrant would leave before his contract was up.

LOSER - The New Jersey Nets. With Chicago and the Knicks getting the two best consolation prizes in the Lebron James Sweepstakes, the New Jersey Nets clearly got the short end of the free agency stick. Russian billionaire Mikael Prokorov and hip hop mogul Jay-Z weren’t enough to lure ANY of the top talent to the Garden State, despite a solid young core of players and the promise of relocating to Brooklyn. Keep your head up, Jersey… you’ve still got Snooki!

WINNER - Dwayne Wade. Wade recruited James and Bosh to come to HIS team, offered to take less money to help build a formidable roster, stayed where he started his career, and continues to come off smelling like roses despite the implications that Wade had been a “spy” for Pat Riley and the heat! If Wade, James, and Bosh end up winning 5 titles, Wade still will have one more than all of them, thanks to his 2006 run with Shaquille O’Neal. And more importantly than that, Wade doesn’t come off looking like a cowardice, pompous, egomaniacal rat traitor to an entire nation.

LOSER - Lebron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and The NBA. The Cavs obviously took a shot to the gut with their favorite son leaving for perceived greener pastures in arguably the most classless way ever, but the clear loser here is Lebron James. By turning his back on an organization that gave him everything, James left close to $30 million dollars on the table. On top of that, James has forever tarnished his legacy as a man who couldn’t get it done alone. The Miami Heat will never be “Lebron’s Team.” It will simply be a portal for this shallow, self involved, ungrateful man-child to pad his resume with hollow championship rings that should come equipped with a giant asterisk in the record books. No real NBA fan outside South Florida could possibly be excited about watching this Miami team win multiple titles… and unfortunately that is what is in store for the National Basketball Association over the next decade.

WINNER - Me. Football season is right around the corner. See you in ten years, NBA.

Worldwide, soccer players have the most amazing-looking girlfriends & wives, and we have had full galleries for each of our Top 20 WAGs. We are now down to #6 in our countdown.

Our #6 ranked WAG is former Miss England (2004) and Miss Great Britain (2006).  As long as she doesn’t open her mouth, she is good to go.  After her Playboy pictures hit the press she was stripped of her Miss GB title.

She is the girlfriend of Jamie O’Hara.

High school football in the Hawaiian island of Kauai is being moved to Saturday morning (from Friday night) to protect the health of an endangered bird, called the shearwater.  Apparently the Friday night lights confuse the bird and put it in danger of predators.  Good to see the existence of a species triumphing over convenience and economics for a change.

First we have to mention the unique Brazilian soccer phenomenon known as touchline reporters.  They wear bright orange vests and carry around microphones and cameras in the hopes of catching the best on-field action possible.  They are much like NFL sideline reporters, but with way more access.  They interview players as soon as they are sent off and they frequently run onto the field when there is any kind of drama.

When Leao ran onto the field to protest a referee’s call, touchline reporters followed, trying to capture the argument on film.  Leao protested by getting into a fight with the reporters after one reporter bumped into him.  Pretty soon the whole team was on the field and Leao was more concerned with screaming at reporters than keeping his team under control.   

Later in the video (around 1:10) we see one of the reporters push what appears to be one of the team’s trainers.  Bad move.  A player gets his revenge by running full speed and  jacking the reporter in the jaw.  Hard.
