Silly Rexy - Part Deaux!

This about sums it up for Rexy.

Thug Johnson - SUSPENDED!

"Thug" Johnson got his punishment from Goodell and it is an 8 game suspension that can be reduced to 6 if he complies with all the conditions of the suspension and shows good behavior. Good behavior for Thug? Good luck! Glad this guy isn't on my team. He has shown continued poor judgement and has been a menace to society and a detriment to his team.

I AM CUCKOO FOR COCOA PUFFS!!!

It is my cereal du jour! Do you guys have any favorites?

Silly Rexy!

What are we talking about here? INTs?

What is going on with the Cubbies?

So the good news is that the starting pitching has actually held up pretty well. Marquis, Lilly, and Hll have been surprisingly good while the one sure thing (Big Z) has struggled. Still, the starting pitching is like 21-13. The problems is that the bullpen has SUCKED!!! They are like 2-13. Scott Eyre has been a disgrace amongst disgraceful relievers. Additionally, the offense has been very inconsistent. One game we will put up 8 runs and then we will go a stretch of 3-4 games putting up 2-3 runs.

Looks like everyone is pressing but hopefully we will loosen up soon and catch on a hot streak. Another good thing is that the Brewers have REALLY cooled off so we are only about 6 games out even though we have been terrible. Hopefully the tide will turn soon.

PARTY ON!!!!

HOF #81

So I was driving into work today and I saw a Redskins license plate with the following: HOF 81.

It is amazing to me that Monk has not gotten into the HOF as of yet. The guy had the following stats:

Among the league's all-time top 50 in:
Receptions: 6
Receiving yards: 11
Receiving TDs: 29t
Yards from scrimmage: 26
Consecutive games with at least one reception: 2(183)
All-Rookie: 1980
3-time Pro Bowler: 1984, 1985, 1986
2-time All-Pro: 1984, 1985

Keep in mind that he played in a running offense led by John Riggins AND when he ended his career, he was a leader OR higher up in many of the statistics listed above. Today, passing is more prevalent and WRs are getting a lot more opportunities to catch balls than they did in Monk's era.

It's a shame he has not gotten in the HOF yet. Hopefully his time is this year.
