Chad Johnson back and ready for the weekend

Who is funnier than this guy? This is from the CINCY Paper....

Also today, wide receiver Chad Johnson said he might use a prop in a possible end zone celebration against the Bills.“This Saturday, I'll be back to my old self,” Johnson said.
“With Christmas being the day after, you can look forward to the celebration being part of something that has to do with Christmas.”Asked good-naturedly for details, Johnson then said, “You know there are a lot of deer in the area. Don't laugh. There are a lot of deer in the area of Cincinnati, so if you see a deer come out the, don’t say I didn't tell you.

“I'm serious. I hit him. He's bandaged up, but he's going to come out. Don't laugh. Y'all think I'm playing. Trust me, I've got Rudolph. His nose is red. … No, on the highway I hit a deer. I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop.

They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it.“He's limping, but he's alive. He's all right. This is going to be the greatest celebration of all-time, man. I actually use an animal.“I'll probably get in trouble with the Humane Society, everybody. It wasn't my fault: He ran in the road.”

This Liberty Bowl crap is messed up

The Liberty Bowl has been a great friend to Memphis and CUSA.... blah, blah, blah, blah

Fact 1... All Memphians were subject to the Liberty Bowl officials bragging about this new clause that would allow them to pick the team of their choice... not necessarily the champion

Fact 2... That was b.s.

Fact 3... The Liberty Bowl did not have that choice. They had a seperate contract with ESPN that demanded a champion (WHICH OF COURSE WAS INTENTIONALLY NEVER MENTIONED)

Fact 4... Liberty Bowl officials have been on the radio every week for the football season and never mentioned it.

Fact 5... Don't mention the ESPN contract so that you can keep hope alive for Memphis fans and maybe sell some more tickets to Memphians holding out hope

Fact 6... Liberty Bowl officials go on and talk about how much they have done for Memphis and CUSA, deflecting the fact that they let people believe Memphis was a chance.

Fact 7... I don't think Memphis should be in the Liberty Bowl, and it should have been clear that it would have taken extraordinary circumstances to make that happen.

Here, I will be a homer.... The Liberty Bowl is great, I believe everyone involved, Fresno and Tulsa is a great matchup, the Liberty Bowl is Memphis' best friend and mine too.
How retarded.

I am so smart

there is no entry... i just wanted to remind you

Laziness and zone defense

The announcers last night said that "maybe it's that Dwash is not playing, Memphis is without their leader." Also, "they are taking Lamar lightly after the Duke game." These are certainly possible reasons, but the real reasons were laziness, and Lamar was getting back in a zone after made baskets. The tough part is making the buckets, but if you do, and you can set back up in a zone, the Tigers have had trouble so far. It slows the game down. If I am an opponent, I zone up every chance I get and take my chances. That being said, the Tigers are talented enough to overcome that against bad teams. Against the good ones.... we'll see. Bama played zone much more in the second half and played much better.

Why is ESPN the only one that is crazy enough to believe Michael Irvin?

It's Mariucci's fault, right Millen?

Noel Mazzone has the best gig in America. Maybe I got him fired when he was on the show before the Arkansas game and he asked me when I was going to get out of Arkansas. I told him I was trying to get to Memphis but he may have heard that there is a fence around it. Noel breaks out in laughter... Noel is now gone. He can thank me later. I love the guy, and he is going to be our college football analyst starting soon. I am paying him $250,000 of Ole Miss money to do it.

Omar and the Mets are getting a fantasy team.

The 72 Dolphins are going to be everywhere soon. I wish they would get a life.

Check out the Arkansas coach taunting the LSU player in Friday's game. Thanks Doug for the link. Classyshibest.gif‎(712KB)‎

Got one right... thank God I don't have to erase that post. Fresno in... thanks for listening to 730 ESPN. I am clearly the hardest-hitting journalist out there, bringing you the news when it breaks with the help of my blind dog Job. Good lookin out Job.

Fresno in the Liberty Bowl?

I was told that Fresno is going to be invited to the Liberty Bowl and will accept. If it happens, I told you. If it doesn't, I will erase this message and act like I never said it. If it happens, and they play UCF, they will beat them to death. Massacre at the Liberty Bowl.

Love,

Verno

Pittsnogled

West Virginia got Pittsnogled. The guy blew it by missing free throw after free throw. WV had #2 Texas on the ropes and missed all their FT's down the stretch. It was a classic basketball game, esp. for it being this early in the year. You may wonder why I am even talking about this, but I have watched a ton of college bball today. Gonzaga looked awesome against Maryland, and Texas won their game (which they should not have). Both will be great home games for Memphis.

The Picks

Verno's Solar System Lock (unlimited stars)

Carolina -3 over the Bears

Baby Meteor Lockity Lock --- Giants -7 over the Eagles

Gary's Gay Lock of the Century is Houston +6 over the Chiefs

Gary's ParGay
