Even the toughest little first graders are shook of taking the field on the opposite side of little six-year-old Nyrel Sevilla. Lil scrap’s knocking the other kids so hard they’re shartin’ in their Scooby Doo Underoos. Read the rest of this entry »

The one chance Vermont football has to make a name for itself and what do they do? They blow it (pause), that’s what they do. I can’t take credit finding this painfully hilarious clip, rather that honor goes to a fellow intern of mine. As a diehard Cowboys fan, no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to escape the horrific images of Leon Lett and his now infamous “Thanksgiving Day Blunder.” Hell, I was only eight at the time and I remember it like it happened last Sunday. With that moment in time being as infamous as they come in football folklore, there’d be no way that would happen again, right? Wrong.

If you read between the lines (or press play), you can already tell what the outcome of all this was. What this young man did was the equivalent of robbing a bank, stealing all the money, but just before you get out the bank you take your mask of and flaunt in front of the security camera. Ok, it’s not THAT serious, but there isn’t much money you can offer me to trade places with this kid after the game. You know, the law of averages supports this claim, that there was that one overly aggressive parent who is always cursing in the stands regardless if a play succeeds or fails. One can only imagine what he/she was like after this. Had this been 2002, this premature celebration turned unfathomable heartbreak would have never been heard outside of this small Vermont town. So not the case in 2009.

Tough break, kid. I feel for you. Really, I do. But you couldn’t have taken a knee or something? For what it’s worth, you did win. The title of ‘most hated student of the year’, unfortunately. We’ve all gotta win at something.

This Football Player Is a Loser [Coed]

We’ve been throwing up dunks & bball posts left & right as if football season wasn’t in prime form right now & games taking place all the time. Read the rest of this entry »

…and it was made so.

Turns out if you start a revolution that is televised (such as all Lions, Red Wings and Tigers games) and you take it to the streets, you can impart change.

The firing of Detroit Lions CEO Matt Millen bodes well for John Q. Public in this transitory time of upheaval and decay. Read the rest of this entry »

“…they can’t jump with me! Gahh-llee!”

A quick succession of events took Randy Moss from best to worst to best again — or thereabouts — over a single year.

First, he was slaughtering motherfuckers as an integral piece of Marshall’s Thundering Herd and led the team to a Mid-American Conference title with Chad Pennington. He seemed a top Heisman contender after the ’97 season, and looked pissed behind his sunglasses as he watched Charles Woodson walk away with the honor.

Then, though he was slated to go high in the NFL draft, Randy didn’t get taken until the 21st pick came around. It was as if the Vikings looked around and said, “Well shoot… I can’t believe he’s still up for grabs.” Then voted on it. Then said “I guess” and took him. But Randy proved he was going to keep folks interested when after his first season he was named Offensive Rookie of the Year with 17 TDs. Legal troubles be dashed, outside of Peyton Manning, he’s still the most prolific player from the class of 1998.

They still can’t jump with Randy Moss… Gahh-lee!!

TSS Crew member Jesse H. had the pleasure of living and breathing the same Minn-ahh-soh-dah air as Mr. Moss, ’round about that time. Knowing he was/is an avid Vikings fan, I asked Jesse to recount the era… Read the rest of this entry »
