This Sports Illustrated Tom Brady Cover Brought Back a Whole Lot of Painful Memories

I don't even know why I let myself get bothered by this but I don't think I'm ever going to get over the utter devastation of what exactly happened in Super Bowl 51.  I can't be pissed off at the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and Bill Bilechick.  I just can't.  But that headline "Can the unstoppable dynasty be stopped?" shouldn't even be a headline.  

The Atlanta Falcons choked it away.  It's as simple as that.  It wasn't like the Patriots won that game as much as Kyle Shanahan, Dan Quinn, and the Falcons offensive line all worked together in reverse unison and handed them the fucking Lombardi Trophy on a silver platter.  

When Julio Jones made that impossible catch possible it should have cemented Matt Ryan, the city of Atlanta, the Falcons organization and all their fans as the ultimate winners.  The Lombardi Trophy should be resting it's ass in the ATL for years to come.  There should have been parades and babies made that night with the names of Ryan, Jones and Devonta.  

All the hot takes on ESPN should be if Matty Ice the reigning NFL MVP is the face of Atlanta on the Mount Rushmore of sports heroes.  Could Julio be the best NFL WR since Randy Moss?  Could Dan Quinn and Arthur Blank be building a team to take over the Patriots as the next NFL dynasty?  But instead here we are with Sports Illustrated's cute little cover of NFL players trying to tackle the might giant Tom Brady because the Falcons decided to get cute instead of RUNNING THE FUCKING BALL.  Thanks Shanahan and Quinn.

I've tried to hide the pain of the biggest choke job in professional sports history by ignoring it these past 6 months but now it's time to move on.  It's time for the Falcons to get what is theirs.  The new Mercedes Benz Stadium is now the crown jewel of NFL stadiums and will be home to the best team in the NFL this year in the Atlanta Falcons.  Yes I said it and it's the first time I've ever even thought it in my 38 years.  The Falcons are the best team and should be the favorite to win the Super Bowl this year.  The defense is going to be crazy fast with the return of guys like Desmond Trufant and the additions of players like Dontari Poe and Takk McKinley.  If Cutty Sark can avoid the bottle the offense should once again be top 3 at worst in the NFL.  It's gonna be a fun season.

Enjoy it now Patriots fans.  The bandwagon is mighty full with 40-year-old Tom Brady and the great hoody coach.  Your reign is over.  The Falcons take flight and rise up as the NFL's next dynasty starting this year.  They will get back what is rightfully theirs.  The Patriot's problem will be the Falcons and hopefully we see a rematch in Minneapolis next February.  You may deflate your footballs but you can't deflate the brotherhood.

Michigan Reveals All-Maize Uniforms vs Florida and they are HIDEOUS

Holy West Virginia-wannabe's Batman!  I don't know what they have been drinking up in Ann Arbor lately but they need help and need to check themselves into uniform rehab immediately.  

 

This all-maize look is just painful to these college football loving eyes.  While I'm not a Michigan fan by any stretch of the words I've always kind of liked their uniforms.  The helmet is classic and the "maize and blue" uniforms look good when the dominant color is blue.  But this all-maize jersey and pants make me want to puke.  It's bad enough they sold their "blue blood" souls and I use that term real loosely since they have one split National Title in the last 70 years when last year they put a fucking basketball logo on a football uniform but now they gotta go and make it painful to even look at them.  What in the Harbaugh is going on up there in Ann Arbor?  It looks like they had to put dark visors on the helmets to tone down the awfulness of seeing ones self in these uniforms.

Come on Michigan you are better than this.  Stop whoring yourself out to the Nikes and Jordan's of the world and show same damn self respect you disgusting filthy pig.

Top 25 Notre Dame Players Going into the 2017 Season

Notre Dame football is looking to rebound from a disastrous 4-8 season last year.  The coaching staff was shaken up with two "outside the Kelly tree box" hires in Chip Long and Mike Elko who will be the new coordinators.  It will be their job to get Notre Dame back to being a respectable program and perhaps save head coach Brian Kelly's job.  In order to do so they will need to get the best out of their top 25 players on the roster.
Let's take a look at the top 25 players on the Notre Dame roster.
1. Quenton Nelson, OG - The 5-star recruit has lived up to his lofty prep rankings and has been the most consistent, dominating force on coach Harry Hiestand's line.  Probably pound for pound the best guard in the nation.
2. Mike McGlinchey, LT - Shocked a lot of people coming back for his 5th season, McGlinchey is looking to rebound from a disappointing season which earned him the nickname "McFlinchey."  Make no mistake Big Mike will be protecting Brandon Wimbush's blindside and will be counted on to deliver his NFL 1st round potential capabilities in 2017.
3. Brandon Wimbush, QB - While it may shock some to have a player up this high who's never started a game at the college level if you have followed Wimbush's practice reports and the favorable returns from his teammates it appears Wimbush is a player who could put up Brady Quinn upper classmen like numbers in Chip Long's offense.
4. Nyles Morgan, MLB - No more complicated BVG defense means that this Chicago product will finally be allowed to unleash hell on ball carriers this fall.
5. Alize Mack, TE - Coming off a sophomore year suspension due to academics Alize returned with a new attitude and a new last name.  The return of the Mack means ND could have it's most explosive tight end weapon since Tyler Eifert.

6. Josh Adams, RB - Adams is the definition of a home run back setting a ND record with a 98-yard TD run his freshman season.  With another big season Adams could be looking to break his position coach, Autry Denson, school rushing record.
7. Equanimeous St. Brown, WR - Coming off a 961 yard, 9 TD receiving sophomore campaign the Irish have big hopes for ESB.  He along with the tight ends should be Wimbush's main targets this fall.
8. Daelin Hayes, DE/OLB - If you saw the spring game on NBC Sports you got a glimpse of what this season may hold for the 5-star prospect who didn't see the field much his freshman season.  A pass rushing specialist, Hayes could get double digit sacks in Mike Elko's new defense.  The Irish are counting on it.
9. Drue Tranquil, Rover - Elko's defense relies heavily on the play of a  "Rover" which is basically a hybrid safety/OLB who can tackle soundly and cover slot receivers.  Tranquil will get first shot and so far the reviews have been real positive for the upcoming senior.
10.  Greer Martini, LB - While splitting duties last season with Te'von Coney Martini "Shaken, Not Stirred" finished with 55 tackles and 3 sacks on a horrible ND defense.  A heady player I expect Martini to have a coming out party like his teammate Nyles Morgan at the linebacker position.

11.  Shaun Crawford, Nickelback - When Crawford arrived 3 years ago he was being touted as the best secondary player on the roster as only a true freshman.  Unfortunately he's had two devastating season ending injuries and we've barely caught a glimpse of what he brings to the field. When he was playing though specifically vs Texas last year we all saw a game changer.  Here's hoping Crawford can bounce back and be the player we all know he can be.
12. Nick Watkins, CB - Watkins missed all of last season due to an injury after starting the previous Fiesta Bowl game vs Ohio State.  Watkins will be counted on to take away or at least contain the opposition's best receiver.
13. Jerry Tillery, DT - It would be hard to find more important players on the ND roster than Tillery.  Coming off a disappointing and rather embarrassing 2017 season in which he was ejected vs USC, Tillery will be counted on to be the clog in the middle of an unproven defensive line.  The talent is there but the ND staff is hoping Tillery can produce at a consistent level and be a wrecking ball up the middle.
14. Andrew Trumbetti, DE - In order for ND to have a good defense it needs to put pressure on the QB.  Trumbetti has been getting high praise by Kelly this summer during practice and workouts and looks to be one of those better late than never bloomers who explodes onto the scene his final year in the blue and gold.
15. Julian Love, CB - As a true freshman last season Love was thrown into the fire because of a lack of numbers at the position.  It should help him tremendously this season and he will be counted on as a starter game 1 vs Temple.
16. Jay Hayes, DE - Like Trumbetti it's put up or shut up time for Jay Hayes.  A highly sought after 4-star player coming out of high school, for whatever reason Van Gorder never wanted to play Jay.  This year will be his opportunity to shine in Elko's new defense.
17. Tony Jones Jr., RB - Somewhat surprising since Dexter Williams is the upperclassmen on the running back depth chart the scout team player Jones has been splitting first team reps with Adams all this summer.  His hands are extraordinary and he will be a huge part of the offense this fall.
18. Chase Claypool, WR - Probably one of the most intriguing players on the ND roster.  Not many players have his combination of size (6'4) and speed but he's gotta work on being more consistent with his hands to earn Wimbush's trust.  If so the sky is the limit for the Canadian product. 
19. Alex Bars, OG - Kelly once described Bars as one of the best linemen he's ever coached.  The scary thing is he's not even the best guard on the roster.  That belongs to Quenton Nelson.  The ND line should dominate this season thanks to Bars contributions.
20. Donte Vaughn, CB/S - Vaughn is another young secondary player who got thrown into the fire last season as a true freshman.  Vaughn is versatile enough to play either corner spots or starting safety.
21. Durham Smythe, TE - With Chip Long running more two tight end sets and putting an emphasis on getting the ball into the tight end's hands I fully expect this senior who is considered an outstanding blocker to blossom along with Mack.
22. Kevin Stepherson, WR - As a true freshman Stepherson came in as an early enrollee and put up a more than respectable 462 yards receiving along with 5 TD catches.  The problem is he appears to be in Kelly's doghouse but to a lack of motivation in practice.
23. Nick Coleman, S - Coleman appears to have transitioned to free safety rather smoothly after playing cornerback his first two years.  With ballhawk skills this free safety will definitely be a lot more athletic and speedy than last years starter in Avery Sebastian.
24. Tommy Kraemer, RT - Just a redshirt freshman Kraemer appears to be the starting tackle opposite McGlinchey.  Hiestand fully expects him to compete or be the starter there for the next 2-3 years.
25. Justin Yoon, K - YOOOOOOOON!  While Yoon set many ND records his freshman season of kicking in 2015 his numbers in 2016 did dip including his field goal percentage.  He still hit 13 of 17 kicks but all of them were 40 yards or below attempts.

Sammy Sosa Caught the Michael Jackson Disease, Looks Like He's Auditioning to be a Bond villain with this new look


It's not too often I'm lost for words but what in the hell happened to Sammy Sosa?  Is this some weird side effect to doing steroids?  Because make no mistake the Sosa of today is nothing like the Sosa with the Cubs.  He looks like Dave Chappelle's anchorman character.  It's almost a dead ringer.  Look...

 



Should I be outraged that Sosa is putting on whiteface?  Is he mocking my culture of pasty white dude who sits behind a computer and throws insults at athletes look?  What an asshole.  If I could be offended I would be.

Peyton Manning Roasts Kevin Durant at The ESPYs and Durant Was Not Thrilled



Peyton Manning throwing down the gauntlet last night on the ESPY's which apparently according to my Twitter timeline is still a thing people watch.

Kevin Durant either should get an Oscar for this performance or he was genuinely not happy with Manning and the dialogue. Durant's stone face response was on point and had the look of a killer ready to sharpen his blade despite sporting a "In the spirit of peace, freedom and justice" shirt.

In other news the Papa Johns pitchman was reported missing shortly after the award show.  It's not the first time Peyton has been missing.  If you watched Super Bowl 50 or really any big playoff game you would have never noticed him contributing.  Luckily he had a great supporting cast (Von Miller) to save his ass in those situations.
