A Temporary Layoff!!

I'm closing down shop for a while until I can work out how I'm going to report sporting news on a regular basis. Right now I feel that I am not giving the regular sporting fan the proper attention this blog needs. I promise to come back for the football season and we'll take it from there. Sorry guys !


Trash Talking Bastard,

Blah! Blah! Blah!

Yes Micheal Vick gambled, raised, and murdered dogs for sport. Yes his career with the Falcons is over. Yes he will have to do jail time. And YES, he will play again. Maybe not in the NFL. But he's only 27 and the man has an arm and talent. So can we please move on about this being a racial thing. Or a travesty to sports. He did the crime and now he must do the time.

I decided not to jump on the band wagon and go into every fucking detail about this guy. No one will take more of a harder hit that his dumb ass. He made millions and could have been one of the great QB's of our time. Now he's not going to go to the hall. His legacy is worth shit. And he won't even be able to sell malt liquor! It's done, it's over, it's finished. Hello CFL! Mike's coming at ya in two years!

So let's move on because those poor people who paid for Falcon season seats this year would like to do the same. It's gonna suck being a Falcons fan this year!

Raven/Giants Battle Royale!

In what had to be so far the NASTIEST game of the pre season. The New York Giants barely beat the Baltimore Ravens 13-12 Sunday night. Bodies were flying and so were the injuries.

Two members of the Giants' starting defense left in the second quarter. Safety Will Demps, who started all 16 games last season, dislocated an elbow and cornerback Sam Madison pulled a hamstring.
New York also lost two offensive players. Wide receiver Michael Jennings had three catches for 31 yards before rupturing his Achilles' tendon, and Steve Smith, who caught a touchdown pass, left with a concussion.

Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle and receiver Mark Clayton sprained ankles.

Losing a tremendous player like Clayton who is a fucking "thug" for a few games could slow his roll in the regular season. But it was the mighty Ravens defence that put out a more damaging role on what already is an injury laden Giants team.

"I know we had a lot of injuries and a lot of guys banged up. Hopefully it won't be too serious," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said.

Steve McNair still looks questionable as a quality quarter back for the Ravens going 5-for-8 for 29 yards with one interception.

Things worsened for the Ravens on New York's initial play from scrimmage. During a 17-yard completion from Manning to Jennings, Rolle twisted his right ankle and had to be helped from the field.

"It just wasn't there tonight," McNair said. "It started off wrong with penalties and I had a turnover. It's something that's better to happen now than later."

Punk ass running back Willis McGahee played much of the first half, gaining 3 yards on six carries and catching one pass for a yard which is pathetic for a whiny bitch who cried while he was in Buffalo and promised good things playing in Baltimore.

"We made mistakes and committed penalties after not doing either of those last week," Ravens coach Brian Billick said at halftime. "I thought we'd have better focus, I really did."

"They'll come back. This is a good group," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "But you would think you wouldn't need to learn a lesson like this. If you don't keep your focus and your wits about you, then that's what you see out there."

Now to give them some credit. It was raining and it's still pre season. But from the strong showing from the Ravens defence. It looks like more of the same with the Ravens. A powerhouse defence with a weak ass offence. It will get your ass in the playoffs. But Raven fan's would rather be happy with a Super Bowl victory rather than to be a second round playoff bitch! But hey! What can I say. I'm a Browns fan who hasn't seen a playoff since 01 and got our ass kicked by the dreaded Steelers.

As for the Giants. It will be determine whether Micheal Strahans absence will effect what was a strong defence. Eli Manning going to need to surgically replace those "small bitch balls" of his with some real man size one's. And improve his throwing skills. Especially if he wants to come out from behind his brother's shadows.

Brady Quinn Looks Promising

Brady Quinn. Cleveland Browns newest QB looked amazing going 13 for 20 for 155 yards and 2 TD's in just the 4th quarter. Now that is sweet. The Browns did lose to the Detroit Lions 23-20 in a pre season game. The guy sits out 11 days of crucial team practice due to a 5 year contract. Was told that he may not be starting towards the end of the season. And now he is a three man race with current QB's Charlie Frye and Derrick Anderson.

Asked if Quinn is now in the mix to be his starter, Browns coach Romeo Crennel didn't say no.
"I think you've got to give the young man credit," Crennel said. "Their best guys weren't in there but our best guys weren't in there either. I'll look at the tape and we'll decide. He's still a young quarterback and he had a limited offense and I believe in time that he's going to be a good quarterback.

The former Notre Dame star entered with the Browns down 23-7.
As No. 10 jogged onto the field, Cleveland fans welcomed Quinn with a roaring ovation, and many of them stayed on their feet after Quinn hit Chris Barclay on a screen pass that went for 30 yards on his first play.
Quinn completed five passes in a row before his first miss. On second-and-3 at Detroit's 4, he calmly rolled to his right and drilled a TD pass to rookie Efrem Hill, who got open near the sideline.
The next time Cleveland got the ball, Quinn drove the Browns 92 yards in 1:52, hitting Jerome Harrison with a 6-yard TD pass with 18 seconds left.

The Browns were booed off the field at halftime by their passionate fans, who are quickly losing patience and began chanting Quinn's name late in the third. Crennel understands the fans' eagerness and appreciates their opinion, but won't let it affect his decision on a starter.

Crennel knows that his ass is doing some "dead man walking". If htey don't go 8-8. His ass is gone bye bye. The Browns have stuck with him for three nasty years and since coming back to the NLF in 1999. The franchise has been an NLF embarrassment. Going to the playoffs only once. The last great first round QB they took a shot on ( Tim Couch) turned out to be a huge ass bust!

So how big is this Brady Quinn drama in Cleveland?. REAL BIG!. Fans are tired ass fuck seeing this team suck ass every year. And when you are in the same division as the Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals. Your team has to keep up and win as many games as possible.

Offence has been a regular problem for this team and with first round pick Joe Thomas. They should show some improvement. Quinn being a pretty boy has given the Browns a slight knock down. But if the kid can play. He was worth the money and the media attention.

David Beckham Is Our God!

Welcome to the world of David Beckham! At least for now it is. He is not only playing for the MLS. He's is the MLS! On his quest to bring the MLS to prominence. Where ever he plays. People ( suckers) flock to see him. They want a piece of American soccer history. Playing for one of the shittiest team ( The L.A Galaxy). His name has sold tickets and sold his jersey to all time levels. While the man has only played a total of a bit over two hours in the month he's been here.

His fans ( mostly horny woman and GAY men) have made it a pilgrimage to see him in hopes he may take off his shirt and give that infamous "pissed off" look that only Becks does so well. His looks have attracted more attention than his playing. Which is highly overrated.

The Galaxy are 1-4 with him since his arrival but they way the media plays it up. You would think they are division leaders. Despite having an ageless Kobe Jones and overrated " Landon Donovan" on the team. David Beckham is the star player. He really doesn't have to play. In fact all he has to do is run around the field and pose for the cameras.

"I don't think there's anybody in this sport than can sell tickets the way he can," Red Bulls star Clint Mathis said. "You can't tell me that there were 60-, 65,000 soccer fans there today. There was probably people that had no idea of what the game was going on about. But that's the people that we need to continue to draw."

He wasn't brought here to help them win. His ass was brought here to bring attention to a dying league and hopefully bring some of Europe's biggest stars to the MLS. But here's the downside. Americans are just not into soccer. Never had..........never will. Not even the new Latino population is digging this MLS crap either. Attendance is at a all time low. TV deals are less than expected and in it's 9 year history. The MLS has not caught on. In fact . The WNBA has bigger media numbers .

And notice I didn't mention his old lady Victoria Beckham. She surprisingly has played it low since coming to America. She has been spotted mostly shopping and taking the kids to toy stores. Otherwise she is like she described herself as...........boring. David is right now the savior the MLS has been looking for. Now keeping people's interest for more than two months will be even a bigger test.

Out with the new. In with the OLD!

Look! I am down when it comes to giving the elderly employment. If they are capable of picking up a phone, greeting customers as they walk in a Wal-Mart, cleaning off some tables, and passing magazines to patients in a hospital. But the last thing I want to see is one taking hits in the NFL!

How old is Vinny Testaverde? 60?! I think in his rookie year is when Jim Brown broke the NFL record for rushing in Cleveland! Bill Walsh just invented the "west coast offence"! Tom Landry was still coaching the Cowboys! And ABBA was touring the road with there hit song "Dancing Queen"!Ok, maybe not that damn old. But at 43. How effective can he be at his age with these new savage animal defensive players out for blood?.

Vinny Testaverde re-signed with the New England Patriots on Saturday for his 21st NFL season.Testaverde, the top overall pick in the 1987 draft by Tampa Bay after winning the Heisman Trophy at Miami, also has played for Cleveland, Baltimore, the New York Jets and Dallas.

He provides an experienced backup to Tom Brady. The Patriots other quarterback, Matt Cassel, has thrown just 32 passes in two seasons with the team after playing sparingly as a backup at Southern California.

He was out of the NFL last season when coach Bill Belichick, who had only two quarterbacks on the roster, asked if he wanted to be an insurance policy.
"We all knew what the situation was going to be. I knew I was the emergency guy," Testaverde said.

Are the Patriots that fucking desperate?! Out of all the experience younger quarterbacks out there. You pick up a guy who needs a fucking girdle to work?. So if the great "Tom ( I'm a whinny,little Bitch) Brady" get injured. You are going to bring out "old man river" out on the field to take a couple of snaps?! So you go the entire NFL draft not choosing a talented young quarterback. But getting a 3rd string backup from SoCal!What?. Tom Brady didn't want to have any competition with a younger and maybe even better arm?.

What the fuck do I care. The Pats are going to have a "eat ass" type of year anyway! They are overrated, and way past their prime in winning another Super Bowl! Tom Brady WAS good when he had that perfect offensive line a few years ago. And Belichick, despite being an NLF defensive genius. Cannot keep pulling rabbits out of his hat forever!

But getting Vinny is a bad sign for things to come for the Pats. What?. Jim Plunkett wasn't available?!

Giving It To The YANKEES!

The New York Yankees and their fans are a bunch of whack ass homos!

Welcome to the "gutter"! This is the world of STB! And I plan to tell it like it is when it comes to sports and all the politics and bullshit that comes with it! Now if you are a Yankee, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Oscar De La Hoya, Lance Armstrong, Dallas Cowboys, San Antonio Spurs fan. Then expect to be pissed. I hate them ALL! But I will keep it honest and give props to those who are due. It's time for us real fans to hear news that ESPN has not filtered with Yankee loving bullshit!

Do sit back and enjoy the merriment that only STB can dish out!

In fact.Let's talk about the Yankees. After beating the shit out of under .400 teams in July. They have climbed back to becoming a contender to the wild card race. They kicked Detroit ass today 5-2 with the oh so great Roger Clemens (5-5). Oh Roger! You are so fabulous. I wish I could toss your salad as well as ESPN and S.I does every time you hit the mound. Thank God you brought your overpaid ass back to baseball. We couldn't exist without you!

He did look good today going six innings and striking out eight . Roger throws heaters at old age 45 and is praised as a fucking God! Barry Bonds hit 25 homers this year at 43 and is considered a steroid junkie! Go figure! Even though a player came out two years ago and said that both he and Pettite were juicing up. That was tossed away like a used condom!

The Yankees are still just 4 back of the Boston Red Sox. And it looks like it is going to be another East coast showdown with Boston bending over and giving up the booty yet once again to the all mighty Pinstripe machine! And we all know ESPN will be there worshiping the ground the Yankees walk on!
