There is No Room for Facebook in the Eagles Organization

Picture this if you will…Life long fan of a favorite team, growing up through the ankle biting years in the shadows of the venue in which this team played their home games. Having the luxury and ability just to be in walking distance to take in a game. For anyone of us this wet dreams couldn’t get wetter, but wait, it does! How about when one grows older and the team decides to move their operations from the shithole what was known as The Vet to their new digs of The Linc…Having the opportunity of a lifetime. To fill out an application to work at the Philadelphia Eagles new home. Just filling out an application is a dream in itself, but to actually get hired…Like I mentioned, the wet dream gets better!

And so it did and how it went for Eagles lifelong fan Dan Leone. Yes, we all wish we could be like Dan. Working for one of your favorite sports teams, in any capacity must be a thrill of a lifetime…Why, any sexual activities can’t hold a jock strap to it! Who cares is this do was west gate chief, (whatever the hell that means)…Running around on game day like a crack head going through withdraws! Like all wet dreams though, at some point it’s time to wake up realizing you’re all alone and you’re all wet. And so did Dan last week courtesy of some spits and spats he spit regarding Brian Dawkins becoming a Bronco over on Facebook in a vent session last week. So yes, in essence, you got it DL got the ax over comments he made in a public forum…A public forum such as this one right here, (although that forum comes with "friends"). Damn, love the American Dream…A country where we have free speech, one actually gets fired over it. Nice…Real nice! God bless the U.S.A.!

It’s not like Dan was any high powered brass of the Eagles…He was "west gate chief". Not quite as low as the janitor, but still. To get fired over a comment like this…"Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver. . .Dam Eagles R Retarted!!", are you fukcing serious? I mean, really now! In a city where sports fans are notoriously outspoken…Having formulated far worse things to come out of their pieholes, he gets axed from his "seasonal gameday employee" status. "Seasonal gameday employee", is what the only thing the Eagle said about this situation. Can anyone tell me what the hell does that mean? So if that’s the case, why not fire Donovan McNabb or any other Eagle player who makes "inappropriate" five-year comments regarding the organization…Every football player falls under that "seasonal gameday employee" tag! It’s called all of fall and early winter! Referencing to McNabb for a second, how come no actions were taking when dear old mom speaks out? She has a tendency of having loose lizard lips from time to time…Gee, I wonder where sonny boy gets it from?

Anyway, who knew that there was ever a "west gate chief code" which must specifically say there will be no second grader bad mouthing over on Facebook…If so, two days later, the team's guest services manager will blow your celly up and fire your ass over the phone…In a conversation that will last less than 10 minutes, (the time it takes Andy Reid to run the 100). Don’t bother apologizing…Saying you worked there for six years…doing whatever they asked. Only missing one Eagles game the entire time of employment! Doesn’t matter if it was a dream to work for the Eagles and that Facebook would never be visited again. Might as well save your breath and quit contributing to global warming. It doesn’t matter… If you want some French cries, go visit the fukcing Golden Arches Dan! Don’t visit a bitch dubbed Rachel Vitagliano! An un-professional bitch who doesn’t operate under the proper ethics of firing a person face to face…Rather choosing the fukcing telemarketer route instead and saying to him he couldn't be trusted, that the post made the team look bad, and that the only way to resolve the situation was to fire him.

"Dam Eagles R Retarded!!"…Yeah, I can certainly see where there’d be a lack of trust in what resembles a damn text message! Sure can! That’s top secret team information that doesn’t need to fall into the wrong hands if it ever got out into public! I get organizations taking positions on things, but this? This is so fukcing petty! And why the Eagles would elect to take a bold position on such a petty thing….It's such a senseless position to take!

So what have we learned? That freedom of speech and expression are dear in this Country. That the Eagles don't care about people who work for them...Whether they are players or "game day" employees and middle age guys shouldn't be doing ANYTHING on Facebook . I wonder who's in charge of scanning the facebook of all their employees?? Another joke for this organization. Keep booing Santa Claus though!

For more Eagles-Facebook fallout…

Getcha Buffalo Wings and Sauce Ready, Same Old Show…Bills Nothing to Lose

We should all take Saturday’s signing of Terrell Owens to Buffalo as a sign of hope! For any out there who find themselves currently unempolyed hell if this cocksucker can land on his feet once again, (as we all knew he would) with the baggage he carries…Well, anybody can! We all knew somebody would take a flying leap over the edge for Owens, just we didn’t know Ralph Wilson would jump over the Niagara Falls and infest his franchise with cancer. We thought that would fall on the shoulders of Al Davis and the Raiders…Not since peanut butter and jelly did we think that there was a more perfect match than this. Dysfunctional meets Mr. Cancer Clusterfukc. Sounds like a hell of a movie title for Hollywood to be played out in Buffalo, what? Buffalo? Did anybody see this coming?
What was more surprising, that Dallas cleansing themselves of this type of cancer late Thursday night or that of all teams, the Bills infested themselves with it?

Aside from the Raiders picking up this form of colon cancer, I felt the only teams to be in the running for Mr. “I’m going to blow your locker room all up” would be the Colts, seemingly after they just released Harrison and the Patriots…Simply from the standpoint of, they don’t need him, but if it works…I mean, my God! And the one thing about Belechick, he doesn’t give a fukc who you are! It’s his way or nothing! But Dick Jauron, this still has me scratching my nuts. Nothing against Jauron who’s respected league-wide and universally liked by virtually everyone that has ever played for him, but…And that “but” says it all. He might be “well-respected league-wide”, but the only thing Mr. Popcorn Man respects is himself. Jauron isn’t notorious for winning, and it’s no big secret that if this ass hole isn’t winning, he’s simply not happy…Hell, even if he’s winning he’s still not happy, so where’s the logic here?

Why is Owens in Buffalo besides no other franchise wanted to touch him with a 10-foot pole? Well one, the argument can be made that the Buffalo Bills are the east-coast version of the Oakland Raiders in a sense. Nobody really pays attention to them…Hell, they even have to play their games in Toronto to receive any pub. So we all know that’s going to change with Owens in the mix both on, but more so off the field. For a franchise that hasn’t mattered since the Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas days, I guess one can actually see some logical explanation behind this…Simply given the fact that there’s not much to loose with the turnover ratio with players and coaches alike being more than ones local McDonald’s! We know from Ralph Wilson’s deliberations on whether or not to bring Jauron back or not for another year…He seemingly has one foot out the door already. Old Dick knows it’s essentially his last season in “The Lo”, so why not go out with a bang? Why not swing for the fences and try to create some buzz? Why not man up and put your grapes on the table and make a bold move? You have absolutely nothing to loose with a one year contract!

It’s not like they’ve mattered any since Super Bowl 28. T.O. gives Buffalo relevance once again…Also bringing them an excellent, (depending on your definition of the word) receiving duo with Lee Evans, (which was something well needed from that standpoint) and if you combine that with running back Marshawn Lynch you have an excellent skill position unit, provided quarterback Trent Edwards continues to grow. Oops, silly me…That might be a slight issue. How’s T.O. going to deal with Trent Edwards? As he’s only entering his second full year as a starter. Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo have all had dicey, (understatement) relationships with Owens. Edwards isn't nearly as accomplished as any of those players and the Bills' offense has been abysmal in recent years. Not too mention the fact that the Bills have really had jugernaught in the past decade or so, which one can argue his three prior teams all had better offenses. You hear that time bomb ticking already?

"I am really excited about the addition of Terrell Owens to our team," Edwards said. "We spoke earlier and both look forward to working hard this offseason. We share the common goal of winning football games. His ability and experience will add to our offense and the weapons we already have." Yeah, and lets see if this love fest lasts as long as MTV’s Newlyweds. What’s the over/under…Anybody have those odds? Of course I know that’s very inconsiderate to suggest that Owens may be a tad bit selfish and everything else that comes to mind. For the simple fact is very well known that he’s misunderstood and has been throughout his career. Although Owens isn't worried about his perceived selfishness in Dallas. "That's all hearsay," Owens said. "If you look at all the comments coming from my teammates with the Cowboys the last three years, it's all been positive. Prior to that, I really don't want to get into it." Is that all hearsay too, or you just can’t remember?

I think Lee Evans summed it up the best with, “'Wow!' was my first reaction,". Yes Lee, I think we felt the “Wow!” Hope you enjoy and all of Buffalo enjoy…There’s a new brand of hot sauce in the city just waiting to explode. So get your wings ready!

The All-Time Best Sports Prank…?

Everybody loves a good prank. Now to be the pranker is a whole hell of a lot better than being the prankie. We’ve all been on both sides…All can appreciate a good one when we see one. Some stand out more than others. The one which comes to my mind immediately was one I pulled in college, (but of course). I was a student assistant coach/manager for the men’s program. We had this one player…He was 6’4-6’5, 230-pounds plus. He been playing like shit for a stretch as if he was soft…So I figured, you going to play like a soft, candy ass, I’m going to call you out. So before practice one day, I got an Angel Soft toilet paper package…Cut out the words Angel Soft and taped it on the outside of his locker for everybody to see. And best part this particular player was the last one to show up in the locker room…So everybody on the team saw it. Trust me, it doesn’t sound like a good one, but you had to be there.

Point is, when we see or do a classic prank, we remember them like if it was yesterday. While I thought my "Angel Soft" prank was a great one…It’s on no level what you’re about to see. This one truly is in a league of it’s own…And everybody will agree. Almost wants to make me enroll in the University of Maryland.

Looksy…

Pacman Jones Holds a Gun to Your Head, Tells You to Pick One…Bonds or Clemens?

With the media spotlight once again shining on two of Major League Baseball’s prominent names once again over the past week or so involving, it got me to thinking, (I know, that’s a scary thought) if you had to, (and when I say had to, well, just read the headline to this spit and hopefully you’ll figure it out) pick one of the cheaters for the Hall of Fame…Which cheater would it be? Bonds or Clemens?

Seemingly these two dill pickles are from the same pickle jar…Having poked and probed themselves with God knows what and God knows when, all the while maintaining that they haven’t done a single thing wrong time and time again. No matter how much hot air they have blown out of their pieholes, we all know differently…Now whether or not they actually believe the gusty winds they are blowing, who knows? I’d say, it’s likely…Just as O.J. still believes he didn’t commit a double murder and not in anyway try to jack up a Las Vegas hotel room to get his belongings back. Just as Casey Anthony is claiming that she had nothing to do with killing her daughter!

Here we have two shoe-ins for the Hall of Fame…One is the All-Time Homerun King and one who’s one of the most phenomenal pitchers the game has ever seen. Unfortunately, due to the fact that they insisted on turning their bodies into human pin and needle cushions respectively "allegedly" , donating their bodies to science, everything that these two lying assholes ever accomplished through their careers is tainted…And will forever be looked at in a different perspective.

So knowing all we know about Bonds and Clemens…Knowing that they’re guilty for lack of a better word, you have one vote. You have to pick your poison on this one…Who gets the Hall of Fame vote on your ballot. I know, I know…That’s a tough one. Now we all know how Miss Elizabeth felt when she had to choose between the two Mega Powers for WrestleMania V when Mean Gean pressed her for an answer! Roll it…(BTW: It’s a very entertaining 5-plus mins.)

Damn, that’s really difficult to choose!! Perhaps if I was drunk it’d be easier to figure out? Can I flip a coin? I guess I would have to go with Bonds. Yes, he’s been defiant on the issue…Although just something rubs me the wrong way that Roger has handled this whole ordeal. Throwing his wife under the bus, throwing his BFF Andy under the bus…I’m sure Bonds would do the same thing, just we haven’t seen it…Doing the "I’m innocent publicity tour". All the while having said he didn’t know anything about HGH, but his wife is in the other room stabbing herself with it. The more and more Roger and his hand puppet Rusty say, the deeper the hole gets. Clemens made a mountain out of a mole hill…A mountain that he can’t climb, although he believes he can. And I guess that’s where my foundation of me selecting Bonds stems from. RC believes that he can beat this…His actions suggest it. On the other hand Bonds, doesn’t really a shit! Bonds doesn’t care whether he gets into the hall or not…The flip of that, Clemens wants us to believe he has the same attitude as Barry regarding Cooperstown, but we all know different! We all know that he’d be crushed not being inducted into Cooperstown…So, that’s a lie right there! Dig It Brother! I love Mean Gean!

My vote goes to Barry on this one, but it’s definitely too close to call!

And if you thought that was difficult to choose, I‘ve got something that will make you feel like Wade Boggs on a cross country flight! Since you’re in the voting mind frame, CoEdMagazine.com needs you to vote on its Miss COED January 2009 competition. It’ll have you saying, "Barry and Roger who"? Remember, Pacman Jones still has that gun to your head! So please take your time in deciding. Damn, I love the coeds…WooHoo!

Never Bring Fists to a Water Fight at a Scorers Table Near You

Damn, we thought Super Bowl XLIII was intense…And okay, perhaps it was in a way. However, some where in the great state of Massachusetts, (I’m not exactly sure if the usage of great to describe the state is appropriate) where basketball was born, it’s quite apparent that the Cardinals-Steelers nail bitter can’t match the intensity of a high school basketball game between Watertown and Lexington High School.

Now we’ve all seen scorers tables at basketball games…Hell, some like myself have probably gotten to sit at these tables. We all are well aware of the fast and furious action. Never mind the poor bastard at the table who holds the title of score keeper. Besides the clusterfukc as to what goes on at the table, he’s already in an unpleasant mood to begin with…As if he had a colonoscopy earlier in the day. The last thing he wants to do is sit at any basketball game and jot down freaking stats for these overgrown ankle bitters.

Nevertheless, he puts on a happy face for the kids…At least he has his bottle water to keep him company. Sitting at the scorers table with a bottle of water…I’m just here to tell you this is an unfortunate combination. Watch the upper right-hand corner, where the Watertown scorekeeper, opens his water bottle and empties it into the face of the Lexington scorekeeper. The Lexington scorekeeper punches him.

Yeah, that’s right…Super Bowl XLIII doesn’t have shit on this baby! No sir, Santonio Holmes…What did you do that was so spectacular besides sell drugs? What I want to know which was the first scorekeeper to say, "tell me how my ass tastes"? See, this is exactly what can happen if a scorekeeper never got passed the first grade…The problem of counting the correct number of personal and team fouls seems to come into play. Glad to see Beavis and Butthead are still alive and doing well!

Honestly it does look like one of their episodes…The guy that threw the water just ate the punch and went about his work because he knew he had it coming, but couldn't resist. And then after, it looked like everything is cool between them after the punches where thrown…As I said, Beavis and Butthead!

Couple things we’ve learned here…People need to stop forming "your mom" jokes. That’s so early 1990’s. Don’t EVER QUESTION the other team’s scorekeeper, unless of course she looks like this, (and then the use of water may be a benefit…you connect the dots on that)! You can disregard she’s waiting for a war to break out and she’s a fire breathing dragon…Minor details! The International Scorerstable Bureau needs to take a hard look at banning all bottled water from all the tables it oversees worldwide. And never bring fists to a water fight at a scorers table…If so, at least bring a super soaker to the table! Or a poncho!

NBC Must Include Matt Millen Warning Labels with Telecasts

It goes without saying that before Matt Millen took the Detroit Lions gig he was a pretty damn good booth analyst for Fox…I don’t think anybody would argue that. It also goes without saying that as General Manager and President of the Lions, Millen failed, and failed miserably. It can be said that Double M could/will be, or is the worst in league history at those gigs. Having his name attached to a 0-16 is just the tip of the iceberg on that. Throughout his tenure at destroying the Lions franchise, he made mistaken after mistake after mistake…And yet, indescribably still managed through all of his f-ups still keep his position in the front office.

When Millen finally got the boot and shown the door, all of us were in shock…Resembling the shocked looks on all of our faces watching the Super Bowl this past Sunday on NBC. The same network that employs Millen again at what he does best, being a network analyst. Although here’s when I have a major issue, before his stint with Fox, he was new to the analyst game…Solely relying on his playing experience to aid in his analysis. And it worked…Thus we all felt that Millen was to succeed with the Lions. Although seeing him returning to network television for NBC’s coverage of the playoffs and Super Bowl has me sitting there like I just resembled head butting a horse…With that dazed and confused look. Knowing that this cat will go down as one of the worst, if not the worst ever to hold the positions the he held! Why employ him again as an analyst? Okay, I get that he was good at it for one time…Yeah, and so were the Lions too!

NBC has compiled a respectable team for their broadcast…A team that viewers can respect their opinions or respectfully disagree with their opinions. This isn’t the case with Double M, but rather making a mockery of their football knowledge…In this case, can we actually take what he spits on camera with any type of merit? Knowing full well his name will forever be attached to the Detroit Lions and how big of a failure he was. Sitting in front of cameras suggesting what this team needs to do, or what’s wrong with this team…This is on the same level as having Lawerence Taylor holding a drug convention. Telling everybody don’t do drugs. Or having Rae Carruth hold a "Don’t hire a hitman to kill your wife" seminar…With Dave Bliss right down the hall holding his own suggesting that "Basketball coaches need not to try and cover up murders of their players". All are laughable and hold no credibility! And make no bones about it, Millen’s in the same category.

And to make sure nobody forgets about just how big of a loser Matt really is around the Detroit area the hardworking of that city and that perception isn’t ever lost while this guy who’s responsible for setting the Lions back 40 years was on set discussing Kurt Warner's many attributes, the NBC affiliate the Motor City was busy making sure Double-M’s previous work didn’t go un-noticed…

See, what happens when peeps get bored in the control room on Super Sunday…Crawlers such as this magically appear…

"Matt Millen was president of the Lions for the worst eight-year run in the history of the NFL. Knowing his history with the team, is there a credibility issue as he now serves as an analyst for NBC Sports? ..."

How awesome is that?

Now of course this didn’t go over too well, but that’s exactly my point. All the whinos who reside in nursing homes know more about football than this shithead! There isn’t anybody that can say this shit-for-brains, dumbass has even an ounce of credibility left to his name! Hell, before getting face time on NBC he was getting shredded by Dan Patrick, Chris Collinsworth, Bob Costas and company…The same people that incidentally he works with now. All thought the same opinion as the crawler pointed out. And to sit there on Super Sunday discussing "Kurt Warner’s many attributes" knowing full well this is the same guy drafted both Charles Rogers and Mike Wiilliams, well it’s just down right ridiculous to think this guy is back on network boobision analyzing football! And NBC’s just as ridiculous for giving him a platform in which he can do it on! Their telecasts need to come up with some kind of, "Matt Millen Warnings!"

"Warning! Matt Millen's on…Viewer discretion is SERIOUSLY advised "

Super Bowl Sunday was a learning experience for all…Showing us anything is humanly possible! If the Arizona Cardinals can play in a Super Bowl…If a former drug dealer turns professional football player/Super Bowl hero in Santonio Holmes can be named Super Bowl MVP…Then, somehow, someway Double M can reemerge in front of cameras discussing professional football, which he has proven he absolutely knows nothing about, anything is possible!

Moments After Ben Roethlisberger’s Moped Accident

With a win on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers set a new precedence for how to operate a football organization with their sixth Vince Lombardi shinny little football. Orchestrating the game winning drive Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger has entered the debatable conversation of whether he’s one of the great quarterbacks in the league…Whether he’s worthy enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Brady or Manning. Which incidentally he has more rings than Peyton two to one…Like I said, debatable conversation and I’m not here to discuss that.

What I’m willing to discuss is, remember when not too long ago the Steelers capped off the whole, "Drive for Five" campaign in the Motor City…It was at if Big Ben was on top of the world. And for good reason, although what goes up must fall down. Fall down he did, as he decided to play a game of tag with a granny behind the wheel of a Chrysler. Let that be a lesson to all…Never fukc with a grama behind the wheel of anything!! I can't stress enough! Not realizing the severity of the accident…All thinking it was just a mirror thing until details began emerging and the picture began to crystallized exactly how serious this actually was.

Well, I’ve uncovered never before seen footage from that day when Ben did his best Humpty Dumpty impression and exactly what he was dealing with. Roll it…

So what will this Super Bowl off-season bring…Who knows?
