There isn’t an NFL player more actively involved in self-promotion and social networking than the Bengals’ Chad Ochocinco. When not torching defenses, Chad is all about himself, he is able though to have some fun doing it, like this rule he posted in his locker and then tweeted.

That note is laminated; clearly Chad spent some time on this, this wasn’t an impromptu notice. Also, according to his Twitter, Chad is playing Call of Duty on his Xbox and wants people to play with, his XBox name is Esteban 85.

October may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate her bounty; Atlanta Falcons All-Pro tight end Tony Gonzalez and his wife October posed nude for a PETA anti-fur ad that is nearly perfect, if only Tony were not in the photo. I’ve always been one to enjoy the autumnal season, now though I think we can say for certain that I like October the most.

ba-Coldwell_Bank_0500823139If you have a spare $49 million lying around you wouldn’t do a disservice to yourself if you were to buy Joe Montana’s sprawling Sonoma County estate. The 500 acre property includes a 9,700 square foot Tuscan-style home, equestrian facilities, skeet shooting range, gym, pool and spa. Sounds nice!

Add in that you can say you’ve been naked where Joe Montana has and I’m sold. Do you think I can get a bank loan in this economy for this property? Sigh. I miss the heady days of 2004.

If the property sells at the listed price it would set a record for the area.

Maybe “Packers” Fans Shouldn’t Be Calling Other Teams Gay

When Green Bay traveled to meet the 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers the general opinion was that it was going to be a cakewalk. Instead, the Bucs showed some intestinal fortitude and ended up beating the Packers to earn their first win of the season. I bet that this well-dressed Packers fan was especially disappointed.

I will say, it’s a bit surprising to see a supporter of the “Packers” making a gay joke about the OTHER team, after all, Green Bay is named after the MEAT PACKERS…

Ty Law’s Throat is Going to Get Sore

p1_tylawFormer All-Pro Ty Law came out of his forced retirement to sign with the Denver Broncos, and is expected to play, sparingly probably, during tonight’s game against Pittsburgh.

It sounds like his teammates are being a bit rough on the potential future Hall of Famer. “They’re trying to get me ready to play this week in a limited fashion,” Law said,  “…But right now they’re just shoving a lot down my throat…”

Yikes. I guess that’s one way to bring a team together, hey, it worked for the Minnesota Vikings…

Brawl With Axes and Spears Breaks Out at AFL Game

brawlDuring an Australian Rules Football game Sunday a brawl (not picture) featuring several hundred people, some armed with axes and spears, broke out. Initially the fighting began on the field when one team was awarded a free kick. This, obviously led to such a massive free-for-all that, when the police arrived on scene, they legitimately feared for their own safety.

“As you can imagine, even when a number of police cars turn up, when you’ve got a crowd that’s potentially 500-strong, it’s difficult to take proactive action at the time,” Superintendent Brent Warren told reporters, “That’s why we tend to respond to these kind of incidents by doing the follow-up investigation the next day and taking action against individuals we can identify later on. Police are confident they have identified some of the people involved.”

The nascent Groote Eytlandt football league only began about 6 months ago and will be responsible for disciplining the players involved. The police believe, though that “the sport is really important for the community,” Warren said, “As a result of what happened the police will be maintaining a presence at all Groote Eylandt football matches until the end of the season. The behaviour that was displayed yesterday is just not acceptable and we won’t tolerate it.”

7’5″ Middle Schooler is a Big Target on the Football Field

Brenden Adams FootballWhen he was born, Brenden Adams was a perfectly average infant but by 5 months doctors realized something was special about him, starting with the fact that he already had all his teeth. He was growing rapidly, by age 2 and a half he was 3 foot 6, by 5 he had grown a full foot, at age 11 Adams stood 6 feet 8 inches.

“It was my 12th chromosome that broke in half and flipped over and reattached,” Brenden explained, something that his doctors don’t know how or why it happened, and that they had never seen before.
Brenden AdamsToday, at age 14 Adams measures 7′ 5″, which according to the Guinness Book of Records makes him the world’s largest teenager. Life isn’t easy with such a large frame, all Adams wants to do is be normal and play with his friends but his size makes it difficult.

His lifelong dream has been to play football but concerns that he would be seriously hurt had prevented his mother from allowing him to play. Now that he’s in 8th grade, Adams mom, after consulting with various doctors agreed, “This is the first year my mom’s let me play. She thought I was gonna get hurt or something. It’s my favorite sport and she said this is an opportunity she didn’t want me to miss.”

Thanks to the folks over at Slate, finally you can relive the joy of Oregon Trail while adding in America’s game, football. This is one of those events that you’ll remember EXACTLY where you were when you first saw this.

This QB’s Sack is Being Taken Care Of

This is the absolute BEST sports-related Halloween costume I’ve seen this year, well besides the incredibly hot girls who dress up as refs, but that doesn’t really count. University of Florida’s Tim Tebow was anointed as the greatest college quarterback ever by the media hordes who can’t slobber his knob fast enough despite the fact that he simply isn’t that good a quarterback according to all of the NFL.

Tim Tebow Halloween CostumeI absolutely love this. I also cannot wait for the greatest QB to enter the NFL and proceed to be worse than Danny Wuerfful.

He Was Good, and Thus, Making the Rest of the Team Look Bad

Cleveland+Browns+v+Buffalo+Bills+I4JG2tAGqPGlWith regular kicker Phil Dawson returning from injury, current Browns kicker Billy Cundiff has been released by the team. He had gone 6-6 in his attempts this season, presumably, the Browns were tired of seeing SOMEONE being successful and so shipped him out. Let that be a lesson to the rest of the team.

Youth Football Coach Attacks Assistant

4356Former Oakland Raider tight end Jeremy Brigham (1998-2001) (left) has moved on in his retirement to coaching youth football, but the competitive fire still burns strong within him. Scott Haggerty was an assistant on Brigham’s staff, until Brigham recently fired him.

After being fired, Haggerty watched his now-former team’s next game from the stands, cheering on his son who remained on the squad. After the game, the opposing coach joked to Brigham that “Haggerty gave me all your plays.” Even had Haggerty done so, it didn’t do much to help, seeing that Brigham’s team cruised to a 38-0 victory.

Brigham didn’t take it as a joke though and confronted, and then allegedly punched Haggerty in the head, ultimately putting him in a neck brace.

I don’t really understand why Brigham was so upset, what he wanted to win 84-0?

Who knew that pee-wee football was so drama-filled!

Hmm, head coach attacking an assistant, Brigham really is living the Raiders tradition.

An Election Day Doppelganger

Tags: , ,

It’s election day and here in New York City we are on the verge of the third term of Lord Mike Bloomberg’s reign; meanwhile in New Jersey, the competitive flame burns bright. While the Jets are supposedly from New York, they play and practice in New Jersey, there first-year head coach Rex Ryan has raised eyebrows with his over sized eagerness to appeal to the J-E-T-S fans. The husky Ryan, son of famed football coach Buddy Ryan and whose twin Rob is the defensive coordinator of the Browns  is no doubt thata defensive mastermind, but then, so was the Jets’ last head coach. The initial returns were excellent for Ryan but as the season has progressed and the Jets have been exposed as frauds the real coaching begins. I know nothing about the politics of the republican candidate for New Jersey governor Chris Christie. I do know though that his name is silly and repetitive, his parents showed a complete lack of creativity and that doesn’t bode well for his future success in the gubernatorial race. Both these men feature quite the rotund body-type, athletes they are not, and both men look like they would be top contenders in a pie-eating contest. Doppelgangers they are!

Please make sure you VOTE in the poll below and then visit the permanent doppelgangers page to enjoy all the pairings we’ve discovered.
