FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY: I finally talk about sports hooray!

Welcome to a little something called FULL CIRCLE where I give you a review of everything that went down this week in sports.

Hey, it’s FRIDAY!!! We made it! We did it everyone! Pat yourself on the back! Drinks for all!  So when I started this blog, I honestly figured that it would be sports, sports and more sports coupled with a few thoughts or funny musings sprinkled in.  Let’s look at how I have fared so far: 

I’ve written an intro to myself.

 I’ve written a post dedicated to a deceased musician as I give my personal thumbs up and down on various topics.

I have written about white superiority and domination in the realm of confections and baked goods.

 I have written about large men seeking comfort in their clothes and furniture.

I know there are probably some people who read and wonder “When the hell is he going to talk about sports? And to those people, I say calm the hell down! It’s only been four days. I WILL FIRE WHEN I AM GOOD AND READY! YOU GOT THAT!

 On to FULL CIRCLE (January 7th-January 11th)

MONDAY

-In a BCS National Championship game that was over by Alabama’s second possession, The Crimson Tide defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 42- 14. It is the third title in four years for the Tide and their freak show of a coach, Nick Saban. 

Following the game, the entire state of Alabama shouted ROLL TIDE while the rest of us wished they would ROLL THE FUCK OFF A CLIFF.

-Also on Monday, New York Knicks Forward Carmelo Anthony confronted Boston Celtics Center-Forward Kevin Garnett in the arena tunnel, near the locker rooms and outside the Celtics team bus following Boston’s 102-96 victory at Madison Square Garden. 

Anthony was furious following a heated exchange between the two during the closing seconds of the game, in which Garnett allegedly said Camelo's wife, Lala Rodriguez “Tastes like Honey-Nut Cheerios.” Anthony would later receive a one-game suspension with a fine of $176,700 for the incident.

In related news, sales of Honey-Nut Cheerios have increased 200% since Monday.

TUESDAY

-ESPN was very busy as they announced columnist Rob Parker’s contract would not be renewed following his suspension for his comments made towards Washington Redskins Quarterback Robert Griffin III during a December 13, 2012 taping of the ESPN show, First Take.   

Parker asked if Griffin was a “ Brother or a Cornball Brother” and questioned his blackness due to Griffin having a white fiancée and being a Republican.

Lesson Learned:  Black-on-Black racism will get your ass fired just as quick as White-on-Black racism will.

-However, the World-Wide leader was not done, as they had a little bone to pick with sportscaster Brent Musburger for getting a little more excited than they’d prefer after catching an eyeful of Katherine Webb, the model (trophy) girlfriend of Crimson Tide QB, A.J. McCarron.

ESPN seriously issued an apology for that?!  That was a gentleman-like comment compared to what men (and some women) were saying and thinking in man-caves and sports bars across the country. 

It’s not like he offered to take her out for a night of chicken wings followed by a visit to King of Diamonds Gentleman's Club like say...I don’t know….Darnell Dockett!

WEDNESDAY

-Fears were realized and anger from media and fans followed as it was announced that Robert Griffin III had undergone surgery on ACL and LCL ligaments following the re-injury of his right knee during Redskins 24-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC wild card round Sunday.

The incident re-opened up the age-old debate of the balance of toughness and common sense in the game of Football and just how injured a player can be before he, or better yet, his coach should take him out of a game.

-Also, many were shocked as the Baseball Hall of Fame announced that there would be no inductees in their 2013 class despite excellent players such as Barry Bonds, Edgar Martinez, Craig Biggio, Tim Raines, Curt Schilling and Jeff Bagwell on the ballot.

This ensures the inductee ceremony will be emptier than a college party without jungle juice or…. the trophy case for Football at my Alma Matter. HEYOOOOOOO!!

THURSDAY

-ESPN (rough week) allowed this to happen:

So the nation responded by making this happen

-The Cleveland Browns announced that they had hired Carolina Panthers Offensive Coordiantor Rob Chudzinski as head coach.  Everyone else announced who gives a Brown?

FRIDAY

-Fox Sports NFL Analyst Jimmy Johnson tweeted that Marc Trestman; coach of the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes would be named head coach of the Chicago Bears.

The Bears have no comment on the tweet but people around Chicago are already asking, HEEEEY WHO IS THIS TRESTLER GUY AND CAN HE ELP CUTMAN GIT IT TOGETHA?

UPDATE: Marc Trestman has denied the rumor.  So that means its probably true.

WEEKEND WATCH!

What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or doing something better.

SEE ZERO DARK THIRTY!
Hunting Bin-Laden: America’s favorite pastime!

NFL PLAYOFF PICKS!

Baltimore @ Denver, Saturday: Raymond Lewis and Raymond Rice travel to the Mile High City, where the air is really thin and probably smells like weed to take on Papa John Peyton Manning and his gang of Wide Receivers who weren’t really that good until he showed up.

Broncos 34-17

            Green Bay @ San Francisco, Saturday Night: The 49ers, with their old school running game and devastating defense play the role of my heroes as they attempt to cool down Aaron Rodgers and shut up what may easily be the most annoying fan base in Football. Game of the week by far!

Green Bay 27-21

Seattle @ Atlanta, Sunday Afternoon: The Falcons attempt to not do what they always do: win a bunch of games during the regular season and go one and done in the playoffs.  Matt Ryan (I refuse to call him Matty Ice) has been on fire all year and he’s got Don Julio Jones, Roddy White and ageless wonder Tony Gonzalez.  They’re going against a Seahawks team featuring the LEGION of BOOM a.k.a the best secondary in all of football, Russ Wilson, who has looked amazing this year and makes defenses mad cause he’s styling on em.  Oh and we can't forget BEAST MODE!!!!!!

            Seahawks 24-20

            
Houston @ New England, Sunday Afternoon: The Texans have it all. A stud RB, a big name WR, and playmakers all over the defense.  Too bad their Quarterback is average and they’re on the road against Tom Brady, the same guy who cut them up for 296 yards and four TDs last month.  Did I mention Bill Belichick made a pact with Satan ages ago?
Patriots 34-20

That’s it for me, I got to run grab a gift for a 4 year-old’s birthday party on Sunday. Why did I wait this late to get it? #BlameJayCutler

Enjoy the weekend all!
