Somehow

The White Sox made the playoffs. I really don't know how, but hey, I'll roll with it. Johnny Danks pitched a masterpiece, and Bobby Jenks is still pretty damn good too. Oh, and how about Brian "F&*@ing" Anderson? Maybe the play of the game: Junior Griffey making a solid throw and AJ still being able to take a hit? Jim Thome's BOMB? Maybe this team can ride the Thunder through the postseason. Remember last year's NL Champs? The Colorado Rockies? Ya never know.















Oh, and the blackout was pretty damn cool. Way to go Sox fans.

Awesome Bad Song of the Week


Who loves synth-pop? .... Really? No one? Hmmm, maybe I need to start reevaluating my life... However, in the meantime we have ERASURE!!!!!! The reason this band popped into my head was because while listening to the Last Letter Game yesterday, Electra played Wheatus "Teenage Dirtbag." Turns out that's a guy singing that song! So I went onto the interwebs to find out more about the wonderful band Wheatus... and I found out they had a song entitled "A Little Respect." "It can't be," I thought to myself as I searched YouTube for the video. And it was.

Anywho, to make a long story longer, here's the original, lamer version.

The White Sox

Are really bad at baseball. Disgusting. They don't deserve to win the AL Central if they couldn't win ONE dag-gummed game in Minnesota. All around terrible.

However, it wasn't all bad yesterday. There is some hope. And by 'hope,' I mean 'our future is doomed.' And by 'our future is doomed' I really mean 'our present is doomed.'

During the game yesterday, I saw this.















Justin Morneau for President. SOMEHOW the fact that this person wants to vote in a 27 year old professional athlete to the presidency isn't the dumbest thing about this.

Justin Morneau - born May 15, 1981 in New Westminster, British Columbia. Bristish Columbia is in Canada.

Enter Article Two of the United States Constitution. Clause 5: Qualifications for Office:
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

So in conclusion, Justin Morneau can never be President of the United States. Ever. Way to waste a perfectly good bed sheet you dumb sh!ts.

Alright, so what have we learned today? The White Sox are bad at baseball and Twins fans are really really dumb.

Five months till spring training.

State of the Bears: Week 2

Uhhhhggggggggh

I...

Really....

yeah.

Ok, that game sucked, now, understand I fully expected to see that kind of game from the Bears at some point this year, and I fully expect to see more of them, but when you lead 17-3 going into the 4th quarter, you're supposed to win.

Blame whoever you want. In the end, this loss fell squarely on the Bears complete inability to develop an NFL caliber passing game. Bad quarterback, bad wide receivers, bad offensive team.

Until the Bears can consistently throw the ball with some degree of success, they will never win a Super Bowl.

NFL Quarterbacks and the Politicians they're most similar to

First of all, I have to give credit where it's due, to a very good friend of mine who first compared Matt Cassel to Sarah Palin. It was absolute brilliance and without it, I never would have came up with this blog, so Eric, thank you.

So away we go:

Sarah Palin = Matt Cassel


One could be "just a heartbeat away" from being President, the other turned out to be just a torn ACL and MCL away from being starting quarterback of the New England Patriots. Both are woefully unqualified for their jobs, but garner unfailing support from partisans.

which I suppose means...

John McCain = Tom Brady


I resisted this one at first, but the longer I thought about the two together, the more the parallels stood out. John McCain was widely considered to be one of the best politicians in the country for the longest time, but never got the chance to be president, now that he's got his shot, he's following up the lamest of lame ducks, and facing a democratic buzzsaw. Along the way he's had to change a lot of his stated viewpoints so they fall in line with the less moderate side of the Republican Party.

Tom Brady was long considered a great quarterback, but never had that aura of excellence around him as a passer like Peyton Manning. Manning was the future HOF passer, Manning was Dan Marino, Brady was also a future HOFer, but he was going in as a great game manager like Joe Montana. The year Brady broke out and set every passing record known to man was the year that the Patriots national perception (fairly or unfairly) finished it's transition from "all about the team" to "wait a minute these guys are just a bunch of smug bastards who run up the score."

Charlie Crist = Jeff Garcia


Almost too easy. Both are very clearly FLAMING, but closeted homosexuals, and both have insanely attractive wives (Fiancee in Crist's case.) Both are employed in the state of Florida, and neither are great at their jobs, but both are better than they're usually given credit for. Garcia's still shooting for a job as a full time starter while consistently having the rug pulled out from under his feet, and Crist has to be angling for VP if not a presidential run of his own in 2012 or 2016.

Alan Keyes = Gus Frerotte


If Alan Keyes shows up in an election, that means that your local chapter of the GOP has hit rock bottom, and if there's a rock bottom of NFL quarterbacks who are still at least moderately established, it's Gus Frerotte. Sure you've heard of him, so that's something, and he might actually make some noise for you, but nobody actually WANTS Gus Frerotte quarterbacking their team. Once he's gone, you look back at the days he was around with scorn and embarrassment.

Todd Stroger = Koy Detmer = Luke McCown = Brock Huard


Nepotism. The only reason why Todd Stroger holds his position as Commissioner of the second-most populous county in the United States. I'm pretty sure the only reason why Koy, Luke and Brock ever got a sniff playing quarterback in the NFL is because they had brothers who were NFL quarterbacks. If any of these four jokers show up to quarterback your team or govern your county, you're completely and utterly fucked.

Therefore...

John Stroger = Ty Detmer = Josh McCown = Damon Huard


Here's four more guys that are/were awful at their job, but are/were so much better than their son/younger brothers you look at them far more fondly than you would have had other members of their bloodlines not poisoned your perception of the family name. The only thing that saved the Hasselbecks from these groups is that Matt is (or at least was) a pretty damn good quarterback

Rudi Giullani = Brett Favre


To their faithful: wunderkinds, to everyone else (Democrats, fans of other NFC North teams) really overrated. Even people that like them generally seem to find them annoying because of their larger than life public image. Both have long and storied careers. Both have their own public relations entity, only with Favre it's John Madden who operates on his own accord, where as Rudi, in case you were unaware, was the Mayor of New York during 9/11.

Favre jumped the Packers ship to the Jets in 2008 and became the darling of New York City. Rudi Was the mayor of New York City. During 9/11. Brett Favre just looks like a kid running around out there. Rudi was the mayor of New York City ...during 9/11.

Had Brett made up his mind sooner, he'd still be quarterbacking the Packers. Had Rudi decided to campaign sooner, he'd probably be the Republican nominee for president.

Michael Bloomberg = Aaron Rogers


Both took over under enormous pressure for a bombastic, larger than life, pompous blowhole, and both are succeeding with far more class their their predecessors.

Richard J. Daley = Peyton Manning


Two men who can/could do pretty much anything. Mayors all over the world DREAM of having the power Richard J. Daley held, and quarterbacks everywhere wish they had the talent of Peyton Manning. Neither would be anywhere close to as powerful without their supporting cast. Daley by virtue of the mob, had the Chicago machine. Manning is surrounded by two all pro wide receivers, has had two different all pro running backs, and one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

On the downside, Daley had the '68 democratic convention. Manning had the divisional playoff game against the Steelers in 2005.

I know it's now painfully obvious, but...

Richard M. Daley = Eli Manning


No matter how hard they try, these two will never, ever, EVER escape the shadow of their more famous relatives. Neither will ever hold the same amount of power. But still, while you'd certainly rather have Richard J's power or Peyton's talent, if you're a mayor or a quarterback, you'll take the successes of either in a heartbeat. Richey will never completely remove the State Government thorn from his side, and Eli will probably always be dogged by the New York fans.

Barack Obama = Jay Cutler


Nobody outside of Illinois knew who Barack Obama was until his speech at the 2004 DNC, and pretty much nobody outside of Vanderbilt knew who Jay Cutler was until he threw for 3000 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2005. Both were drafted by their respective "teams" to be the savior despite their "mile wide but foot deep" track records, and both have a chance to really prove why they were picked this fall.

Between Brandon Marshall and Eddy Royal, Cutler has everything he could ever need to throw the ball. Barack Obama has the largest donor base of any presidential candidate in the history of the country, but Obama is hamstrung by the Democratic party who, historically, is really, really bad at politics. Cutler plays for a team with shaky offensive and defensive lines which are more than capable of sinking an otherwise steady ship.

Obama gave arguably the most important speech of his life when he accepted the Democratic Party's nomination in Denver at Invesco Fieldhouse at Mile High, which happens to be Jay Cutler's home field.

George W. Bush = Kyle Orton


Both are recovering alcoholics who you know are still hitting it pretty hard. Both won a seemingly bogus competition that seems to have been set up for them to win from the very beginning. Neither of them have accomplished anything as a professional, yet despite this, certain segments of the population still really like them. George Bush felt like the right guy for the job for a few weeks after 9/11 and Kyle Orton really seemed like a great option after Rex Grossman went down in the preseason in 2005. Both soon proved their ineffectiveness. Despite all logic, both inexplicably got another chance at the job.

Sorry, I can't help myself:

John Kerry = Rex Grossman


They're both annoying, pampered, they both kinda give off that d-bag vibe at times, they both say the dumbest shit at the most inopportune times, and they probably aren't all that much better than the alternative. Both also fail miserably on the big stage, but deep down, you know it should be their job.

John Edwards = Brian Griese


For some reason they both always seem like a fantastic idea when you're trying find someone to fill the position, but then you go through the vetting process and they just kinda don't make it. Then the end of the day rolls around and you are SO glad you didn't pick them.

Dick Cheney = Drew Brees


What can I say? They're both just way more comfortable with the shotgun.

Ted Kennedy = Tony Romo


Both have accomplished a lot in their professions, but both seem to have inflated public images because of their linage (Quarterback of the Cowboys/Kennedy Family) and the stuff they've done off the field/outside the chamber (the bevy of blonde beauties and the.... bevy of blonde beauties...) Both are maligned by their opposition. Ted had Chappaquiddick, Romo fumbled the snap on that field goal in the playoffs.

Bellwether's NFL musings Week 2 - 3

After two weeks of football, I can't claim to have any answers. There's just too little data to go on. Still, there's some thing's we have learned.
  • Things I know for sure:
    The Rams are the worst team in the NFL
    The Packers will be good if Rogers stays healthy
    The Bears never have to apologize for reaching for Forte
    Jonathan Stewart is good at sports
    Jeff Fisher is one of the best coaches in the NFL
    The Steelers are always better than you think. Even if you already think they'll be good
    The Lions are always worse than you think. Even if you already think they'll be bad

  • Things I'm pretty sure about:
    The Giants are a good football team
    The Pats are still the best team in the NFL
    The Denver/San Diego rematch Week 17 will decide the AFC West

  • Despite several warts, Football Night in America is worth my time to see Olberman and Patrick reunited. That said, the actual Sunday night game is horribly overproduced.

  • I'm not going to say that Fox just conjured the "passing levels" thing out of whole cloth, but they put more emphasis on it during yesterday's Bears game than the sum of times it's been mentioned in every other NFL broadcast in 30 years.

  • I love the new coin toss rules. It's about time. A lot of teams are going to be deferring.

  • Early returns have the AFC North winning it's annual battle against the NFC East in the contest to see which division has the most mind numblingly booring games.

  • After all these years of transitioning from a legitimate media outlet into a marketing firm, there's been ONE segment on ESPN "programming" that I still liked, and now they've fucked that up too. SportsCenter's "Pump Up The Volume" is football highlights with local radio calls underneath. Now, about a third of the highlights have press conference or post game interview audio under them. On the horribly rare chance any of these meatheads say anything relevant, I guarentee it's important enough to play at another point in the show.

    *SIGH* I hate ESPN.

  • Philly/Dallas did not disappoint. Any time the NFL wants to have an 75 point game, I'm there. We got one with San Diego/Denver too, and even though the Chargers got completely HOSED I picked the Broncos, so it all worked out.

  • I believe New Orleans will beat Denver, Arizona will beat Washington, Cleveland will beat Baltimore, and Chicago will beat Tampa Bay.

Bellwether's NFL Musings Week 1 - 2

  • Billy McMullen, Samie Parker, Courtney Taylor, and Logan Payne.

    Everyone who's heard of one of those guys, raise your hand

    Now, now, keep em up so I can count...

    nobody?

    Yeah, me either. Those are the four active Wide Receivers on the Seattle Seahawks' roster.

    Perhaps I'm basing my opinion on familiarity, but I'd take any 4 of the Bears 6 receivers over those 4 schlubs any day of the week. Arizona's going to win the NFC West.
  • It's funny to me that Vince Young has realized what many in the national media still fail to, that he's bad at football.
  • If you're New England, don't you have to feel like Hubris has come to bite you in the ass? I'm not one who actively roots against the Pats, I actually kinda like Bill Bellechek and his whole "cold, heartless, arrogant, bastard" personality. I still think they're one of, if not the best team in football, but Matt Cassel? Really? That's your backup plan? I understand you can't go out and sign a mulit-million dollar backup, but there are better options than Matt Cassel. Like Chris Simms, who they weren't interested in.

    Back when the Favre saga was in the "maybe he'll take 20MM from Green Bay to go away" phase, I told a few people that if I was the Pats, I'd have called him and asked if he'd be interested in being Tom Brady's backup. If Favre had a price to go away, maybe he had a price just to stay off the field. The Patriots would have given him the BEST chance to win another title, and there would have been plenty of opportunity for him to play when they were up 55-7 in the 4th quarter.

    Now realize, I don't think Favre ever, ever, ever would have agreed to this, but it would have been worth a phone call. Regardless, I'm sure the Pats can still win the Superbowl with Matt Cassel (seriously) but they could be in a much better position if they'd have signed a known commodity to back up Brady.

  • I'm so pissed at the Bears for resigning Fred Miller. What the hell, guys? Fred Miller blows. Keep Kirk Barton and go with it. He's a backup tackle. Offensive tackles are so expensive that your #3 is almost certainly going to be bad. It's so much better to be bad and young than bad and old.

  • I can't wait for MNF this week. Eagles at Cowboys? Yes sir!

  • Kudos to the Falcons. At no point this season did I ever think they'd look as impressive as they did on Sunday. It just goes to show, the more things change, the more they stay the same the Lions still can't win on the road.

  • I really enjoyed watching the Giants on Thursday night. They remind me of a late 80s early 90s NFL team... I can't fully qualify this. The Jacobs/Ward combo has a lot to do with it. The last team I remember who succeeded with Thunder/Thunder as their 1/2 combo were the Bettis/Fuamatu-Ma'afala Steeler teams. Again, though completely unqualifiable, this Giants team feels more like it would fit in Tecmo Super Bowl than any other team in the league.

  • I think Denver will beat San Diego, San Francisco will beat Seattle, Buffalo will beat Jacksonville and Cincinnati will beat Tennessee.

State of the Bears: Week 1

Well... nobody saw that coming.

Not only did the Bears go down to Indy, while they were opening their new stadium, and beat them, they flat out kicked the Colts asses for 60 minutes.

The Bears defensive line was dominant. I'm sure the loss of Jeff Saturday had a lot to do with this, but no matter who the Bears rotated out there, they pressured Manning and stopped Addai. The Bears also did a lot of cool stuff strategically. Lots of different looks, lots of fronts, they walked the safeties up, they backed the LBs off, they stunted... they did everything possible to try and throw Manning off his game and I think they succeeded as much as one can against Peyton. This was the first time this Bears defense has been healthy since the San Diego game last season and it showed. It's a lot easier to blitz when you can trust a cornerback to be ok with only one guy over the top.

The most shocking aspect of this performance was the fact that the Bears, honest to goodness, outcoached the Colts. Babbich and Lovie came up with a way to beat that crusty old troll Tom Moore, which is more than most can say.

On the other side of the ball, it's all about Matt Forte, and that's both good and bad. I love this kid, and really, how can you not? Vision, moves, speed, durability. Four things this kid has in droves that have been hard to find in the Bears backfield recently. You can't really fault his performance. The problem is, there's not a whole lot else to be happy about. Yes the tight ends are good, but the quarterback isn't, and I don't believe either TE will be utalized nearly as often as they could or should be because of the guy behind center.

As for the guys on the ends, well... it doesn't get much worse than the 6 they trot out there on a weekly basis (though Seattle is going to give them a run for their money.) The Bears WRs caught a grand total of 6 balls for 50 yards. If I'm John Fox, I put eight in the box on every play against Forte until Orton finds a way to move the ball on his own, and if eight isn't enough to stop him, I'll go with nine. I have zero confidence in the Bears passing game, in any form, until they prove otherwise, which is why I'm still picking the Panthers this weekend.

So all in all... the state of the Bears is a hell of a lot better now than it was just last week. I still don't think this is a playoff team, but I do think we're now trending much closer to 'best case senario' than anyone could have predicted.

Who's Laughing Now?


HUGE UPSET!

29-13 Bears over Indy


First star goes to the defense. D-Line owned the Colts O-Line. Peanut played like...well, Peanut. He's really good at football. Gameplan was solid, kept Peyton on his toes the whole game. Defense needed not only to stop the Colts, but they needed to score too. Gave up 13 points. Scored 9. Check and check.














Second Star --> Matt Forte. Mark one down for Jerry Angelo (don't worry +1 -3, he's still down on the season). 23 carries, 123 yards, 1 TD. Ran downhill the whole game. Made great cuts, has very solid speed. Offensive line actually created big holes for him to run through, and he saw the field well and ran though them.




















also, this is hilarious

Bellwether's 2008 NFL Preview

NFC West

Champions: Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals seem to be everyone’s breakout darling every single year, this year, I think they actually will. 10 wins will definitely take this division, and I think 9 will do it too. In my opinion, the Seahawks have run out of gas, Maurice Morris is their starting RB, backed up by Julius Jones and TJ Duckett. Hasselbeck is a year older, and their best WR is Nate Burleson. I think their defense is still strong, but I don’t see them finishing any better than 8-8. San Francisco and St. Louis are going to be two of the worst teams in football.

NFC East

Champions: Philadelphia Eagles
Wild Card: Dallas Cowboys
Maybe Wild Card: New York Giants

Call me crazy, but I really believe the Eagles are the best team in the AFC, for once, they’re reasonably healthy, Brian Westbrook might be the second most productive player in football behind LdT. Their defense is one of the most well coached in the NFL, and even though you’re probably not familiar with any of their names outside of Cole and Dawkins, they’re a rock solid core. This combined with Dallas’s current cast of characters which is just begging to implode gives the Eagles an edge in my book. I think Dallas is a good team and I’m sure they make the playoffs, I just think the Eagles are better. The Giants are a very good team as well, but I think they’re yet another step below the Cowboys. They’ll fight with the Bucs for the last playoff spot in the NFC. The Redskins will be lucky to win six games.

NFC North

Champions: Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota has the best defense in the division, the best player (who happens to also be the best running back,) the best offensive line and a much improved receiver corps. Unfortunately they also have the worst quarterback (yes, even worse than Kyle Orton.) The Vikings could win 11 or 12 games if they stay healthy, if they don’t, they might only win 7 or 8. I think 9 or 10 will be enough to win the division. Green Bay is the second best team in the division, but their quarterbacks will decide their fate. If Aaron Rogers is the goods, they’ll push the Vikings. If not, they’re probably a 7 win team. The Lions are better than the Bears, but not by much. Expect both Chicago and Detroit to finish in the 5-7 win range.

NFC South

Champions: New Orleans Saints
Maybe Wild Card: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I’ve been telling friends that the Bucs are the class of the south for several weeks now, but I’ve had a change of heart over the past few days. Tampa’s got a revolving door at QB, The combined age of their starting WRs is 68, their starting running back is Ernest Graham, and their defense is banged up. The Saints added Jeremy Shocky and Jonathan Vilma. The former gives Drew Brees yet another weapon, and the latter should give the Saints defense the anchor it’s been missing since…. Sam Mills. Carolina could end up in the mix, or they could end up 4-12, and the Falcons are on the clock for the 2009 draft.

AFC West

Champions: San Diego Chargers

I think the Broncos are better, and I think they’ll push the chargers the first half of the year, but in the end, there’s not enough talent on either side of the line of scrimmage for me to take Denver seriously. The Chargers are far and away the best team in the division and still one of the best teams in football. I think both the Chiefs and Raiders are better teams this year, but both of them still draft in the top 10 next year.

AFC East

Champions: New England Patriots
Maybe Wild Card: New York Jets

Watch the Pats go 19-0. They almost did it last year, and you know they still want to. That’d be 37-1 over two seasons, and while I think 13-3 and a Super Bowl appearance is far more likely than another undefeated run, don’t be shocked if they pull off perfection this year. Actually, be shocked, cause it’s still amazing and highly improbable, but probably less so for them than for any other team. As far as the Jets, I’ll admit, I’m buying into the Brett Favre hype. He looked the part in the pre season, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the years, it’s to never bet against the storybook ending when it comes to #4. Logic doesn’t seem to apply to him. Bills better than the Dolphins, Dolphins still really bad.

AFC North:

Champions: Pittsburgh Steelers
Wild Card: Cleveland Browns

The AFC North and AFC South are the two toughest divisions to pick in all of football, and on balance, they may be the two best. I think the Steelers and Browns have about an equal shot at the division title, and I think both end up going to the playoffs, but history tells me not to bet against the Steelers, who I consider second only to the Boston Red Sox as the best run organization in professional sports. The Steelers never seem to want for talent, they’re constantly reloading and they added two future stars in the draft in Sweed and Mendenhall. Losing Faneca is going to hurt, but when it comes to the Steelers and offensive linemen… the dude abides. It doesn’t really seem to matter what happens to the Steelers, they win 10 or 11 games a year, and that’ll happen again this season. As for the Browns, I don’t think they were a fluke. Derick Anderson probably isn’t as good as his numbers from last year would indicate, but between Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow Jr, Jamal Lewis, and that offensive line anchored by Thomas and Steinbach, he doesn’t have to be great on his own, because those guys will do their part to make him look really good. If he falters, the Browns have Brady Quinn waiting in the wings, which might not be the correct answer, but it gives them a nice option. Cincinnati’s probably no worse than a 7 win team, and the Ravens defense is still a force to be reckoned with, despite the fact that their offense is in as bad a shape as ever. A lot of their problems go away if Joe Flacco is good.

AFC South

Champions: Indianapolis Colts
Wild Card Maybe: Jacksonville Jaguars
Wild Card Maybe: Tennessee Titans
Wild Card Maybe: Houston Texans

Yep, I could honestly see any of these teams making the playoffs, but until proven otherwise, nothing will make me bet against the Colts. As long as Peyton is healthy, the Colts have nothing to worry about, and they’ll still find a way to win 12 games. The Jags are the second best team in the division, and they might have the best defense of the four. Questions on offense will continue to dog them, especially when it comes to catching the football, but they’ve made the playoffs with sub par receivers before, there’s no reason they can’t do it again. I still don’t think the Titans are all that good at football, but somehow they continue to surprise me year after year and play much better than everyone’s expectations. I’d like nothing better than to write them off, but their coach is the longest tenured in the NFL for a reason, and that alone prevents me from doing so. I really don’t think the Texans have enough weapons to compete with the other three yet, but strange things happen in the NFL, and the Texans are just one of those teams that kinda sticks out as a possible “team out of nowhere” (despite the fact that they went 8-8 last year, which is hardly nowhere.)

OH MY GOD!









THAT IS KOYIE HILL'S RIGHT HAND

Last October Koyie Hill cut off his index, middle, ring finger and thumb. Cut them off. As in not attached. As in HE CUT OFF ALL HIS F&@%ING FINGERS EXCEPT HIS F&@%ING PINKY!

They reattached it, and now it looks all funky. However, they reattached those fingers according to the way he holds a baseball.

"I guess you could say [my hand] was built for baseball now."

Dude has a bionic hand!

Holy freaking crap. Koyie Hill is kind of a badass now.

Question



Is Barack Obama a Muslim?
