That’s despite playing like a jackass that got his ass benched at halftime last Sunday in a 36-7 loss to Baltimore.

After a promising start to the 2008-09 NFL football season, problems have once again started to ground the Eagles heading to the final stretch of the football year. And after all their problems at quarterback the last few years, guess what, they’re having problems with the QB position again.

For what it’s worth, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is healthy for the first time in quite a while. With McNabb back behind center, the Eagles looked like they’re finally ready to reclaim their spot atop the NFC since a particular wide receiver defected to Dallas. Well, at least that’s what they looked like during the first few weeks of the season anyway.

But during the last three weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles can’t seem to get it going on the field. After three weeks, the Eagles lost two and let the lowly Bengals tie them in overtime. And for a team that’s trying to keep up with the rest of the NFC East, again arguably the best division in pro sports, what the Eagles have done lately is simply unacceptable.

And while ‘’unacceptable'’ is more than enough, McNabb did more than that last Sunday.

McNabb was pulled from a game for the first time in his career after two dismal quarters against the Ravens over the…

I guess you’ll have all the football action you can handle this Thanksgiving huh?

While pro football already has a whopping triple-header for you for Thanksgiving, the 2008 NCAA college football season has come up with their own brand of football action that can keep up with what its professional counterpart will bring to you on turkey night.

The Texas A&M Aggies and the No.2 Texas Longhorns will renew their rivalry on the college gridiron on Thanksgiving night. The Longhorns are looking for a trip to the BCS national title game for the second time in four years, a win over their state-rivals will boost their chances of landing a BCS spot for sure.

The 10-1 Texas Longhorns, currently second in the BCS standings, is one of three teams atop the Big 12 South with identical overall and conference records. Like Oklahoma and Texas Tech, the ‘Horns have spent time as odds-on favorites to make the national championship game, but the three teams have beaten each other up in conference play to hurt their respective chances for a BCS slot come January.

Texas knocked the Sooners out of the top spot in the AP poll Oct. 11 before dropping out of first place with a loss to the Red Raiders three weeks later. Texas Tech was No.2 in the AP poll before falling to Oklahoma on Saturday.

And in case you didn’t get that, yes, the college football…

Easy, easy. LeBron James will go to New York to play the Knicks and not play FOR them… YET.

After all the deals the Knicks pulled this early into the 2008-09 NBA basketball season to clear up some salary cap space, it is safe to assume that they are going after the biggest free agent to hit the market in the history of the NBA. NO, it ain’t you but LeBron James.

You see, the New York Knicks traded away their top two scorers, Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph to cut some money they spend on payroll since these two were the ones eating up a lot of cap space the most in New York. Crawford was sent to the Golden State Warriors while Randolph was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Now that they have enough money to burn, they can start going after LeBron James when he becomes a free agent in 2010. James is one of the four big free agents hitting the market next season with Cris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Dwyane Wade also looking for huge contracts at the end of this campaign.

New York fans will have a taste of LeBron James this Tuesday when he leads his Cleveland Cavaliers to Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks. And although they already know James will make their beloved Knicks look bad on Tuesday night, I have a gut feeling that these Knicks fans will take it in the ass smiling.

After all, they’re probably used to losing by now…

I guess it is now safe to assume that the Crimson Tide have been the model of consistency this year huh?

SO FAR ANYWAY. After 13 weeks into the 2008 NCAA college football season, the Alabama Crimson Tide remained on top of the standings and are only two wins away from playing in their very first national title game since 1992.

The Alabama Crimson Tide play Auburn on Saturday and Florida in the Southeastern Conference title game and if they win both games, they will earn one of two spots for the BCS national championship.

The Texas Longhorns, because of the confusing computer rankings, find themselves in the No.2 spot after Texas Tech lost to Oklahoma.

Speaking of, the Oklahoma Sooners jumped to No.3 after an impressive 65-21 victory over what was once the No.2 team in the nation, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The loss to Oklahoma dropped Texas Tech to No.7.

Texas is close behind the Oklahoma Sooners in the polls, but has the second-best computer rating. The Longhorns’ BCS average is .9209 out of a possible 1.000. Oklahoma is at .9125. The Sooners have a road game against Oklahoma State (9-2) on Saturday that, if they win, should boost their…

Honestly, this thing between Light and Crowder was unfortunate because it overshadows the kind of game Matt Cassel just had.

In perhaps the first controversial tussle of the 2008-09 NFL football season, Patriots tackle Matt Light and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder looked like two bitches getting it on around a group of grown men in tights.

In the very same day when Matt Cassel had his second straight 400+ yard game to lead the New England Patriots to a 48-28 win in Miami, Light and Crowder got it on in, of all things, a field goal attempt when the game was virtually over.

The ‘’mini-brawl'’ occurred after Light blocked Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder on Pats teammate Stephen Gostkowski’s 30-yard field goal. Crowder’s helmet flew off before Light got Crowder’s dreadlocks and hit him three times on the head like a fagot.

Channing Crowder broke free and ran away like an eight-year-old little girl while smiling, probably to compensate for his manhood. Of course, both received personal foul penalties and were ejected from the game. STILL, both of them looked ridiculous while funny at the same time.

And as soon as Matt Light exited towards the tunnel, Crowder, who was exiting the same tunnel, raised his hands to…

Because when you talk about a fucked up town like Miami and their Heat, fucking ‘em up never gets old.

Ah, the Miami Heat. It’s been a while since we’ve last taken a look at how incredibly pathetic they’ve become since screwing the Mavs of the title back in 2005. And since this is the first time we’re gonna’ have this in the 2008-09 NBA basketball season, I’m writing all of these down with gleeful joy.

They have the Houston Rockets visiting them this Monday and while Dwyane Wade has successfully recovered from a knee injury, not letting a sprained ankle and flu-like symptoms slow him down, a visit from the surging Rockets will.

At 7-6, the Miami Heat team we see this year is nowhere near the championship team, talent-wise, that screwed the Mavs of the NBA title back in 2005. Shaquille O’Neal has been replaced by rookie Michael Beasley who, in my opinion, is a complete waste of a draft pick, Jason Williams has been replaced by Chris Quinn, a Caucasian dude trying to be, well… J-Will and the addition of Shawn Marion has been nothing more but a complete failure so far this season.

Facing a Rockets defense that ranks second only to the Boston Celtics will…

After a six-week absence, the Saints finally return to the Superdome.

Yep, it’s been six long weeks since the New Orleans Saints played a game at the Superdome this 2008-09 NFL football season. Against the Packers, people from New Orleans will finally see their team back. However, is this the same team making its return on Monday night?

For the last six weeks, the New Orleans Saints saw their trademark running game evaporate. The ground attack both Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister made famous is now 28th in the league. With Bush out and McAllister struggling without his wingman, the Saints were forced to go to the air more and so far, it’s good for a 5-5 stand, unfortunately, that’s good for only last place in the NFC South.

Of course, the Saints’ new approach enabled Drew Brees to become one of the best quarterbacks in the league today. He has been the model of consistency in New Orleans during a time of uncertainty with franchise running back Reggie Bush out and premiere tight end Jeremy Shockey still learning Sean Payton’s playbook.

But will that be enough to beat a Green Bay Packers team looking to keep up with the rest of the NFC North?

The Bears and the Vikings just won their respective games last Sunday to keep their spots atop the division. The Packers have to win this…

He was known as the ‘’ultimate Packer'’ in Green Bay, after this, he could be known as the ‘’ultimate fucker'’ in Nashville, Tennessee.

Because after Brett Favre ended the Titans’ perfect run in the 2008-09 NFL football season, you just know that No.4 is now the most hated man in Nashville. You can’t blame them too because the Jets setting it up right then and there in front of the hostile Titans crowd was just… well, unfair.

In case you didn’t get that, the New York Jets ended the Titans’ bid for a perfect season after beating the once 10-0 Titans in Tennessee, 34-13. It was a convincing win for the Jets as Brett Favre jumped on the Titans right from the get-go, leading 10-3 at the end of the first half.

It was a painful reminder to the Tennessee Titans, a reminder that Brett Favre still is one of the best quarterbacks in the game. Oh yeah, the Titans were reminded too that if you give No.4 too much time, he can STILL pick the league’s best defenses apart.

Favre knows that they just defeated the best team in football today. STILL, he knows that does not necessarily mean that they are now the best after beating a team that was once THE best.

‘’I'm not going to sit here and say we’ve established ourselves as the best team in football,'’ Brett Favre said. ‘’All it says is I think we beat the best team in football today, definitely if you go by record and…'’

Quarterbacks sure get all the glory in the NFL these days.

And while most of the league’s better quarterbacks are being slowed down by injuries this 2008-09 NFL football season, we can’t help but wonder who are the best young quarterbacks in the business who just might take this game that we love away from Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Tom Brady.

American Football is arguably considered to be the ultimate team sport, but quarterbacks still get more than their share of the glory. And the question is if you could pick who are the young quarterbacks in the 2008-09 NFL football season that just might become the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady who will it be?

First, we have Matt Leinart of Arizona Cardinals. Leinart is the total package. He has both the mental and physical aspects of the game down cold, and he’s only going to get better. Playing in a pro-style offense at USC has prepped him for the pro game. And playing under the bright lights at Southern Cal prepped him for all the media hype of the NFL.

His leadership skills and maturity have also already been well-noted. It still puzzles me why this guy hasn’t totally taken over the show in Arizona aside from the fact that the Arizona Cardinals are surprisingly doing just fine with…

Every year, that’s what people from Texas have been asking ever since the ‘’Great Wall of China'’ got there.

But almost every single year, these Rockets have been bitten by the dreaded injury bug as injuries to either Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady always slowed the Rockets down when it looked like they have finally put it together. Guess what, the injury bug did it again THIS EARLY into the 2008-09 NBA basketball season. Cruel huh?

Against the Oklahoma City Thunder early this week, the Houston Rockets got ALL THREE STARS for crying out loud limping off the floor. And in case you have no idea who those three stars are, it’s Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and new acquisition Ron Artest. All three are hurt people and although these guys claim they’re fine and dandy, I reckon one, if not all of these guys will miss some games this week or the next.

It all started with Tracy McGrady going down in the third quarter. He was declared by his team as ‘’fine'’ probably with false hope that their No.1 star doesn’t miss any more time for a change. Even without T-Mac, the Rockets soon opened up a commanding lead over the struggling Thunder team.

A few moments later, Yao Ming turned his left ankle. But again, since they were playing the lowly team from Oklahoma City, Yao was soon laughing and Houston pulled safely beyond Oklahoma’s reach.

Just when the game was about to be over, the injury bug struck again and…
