He IS Our Patron Saint!

Another great day of NFL football was made even greater yesterday by an epic appearance from our Patron Saint. If you were watching the Cleveland Browns lose their 16th straight game yesterday to the Cincinnati Bengals, you were there for the trainwreck that is pro football in Ohio.

It. Was. Awful.

But. But, it was also fun to see the Browns mascot take a header on the sidelines trying to retrieve a football. It was fun watching Robert Griffin III throw a fleaflicker from his endzone into triple coverage for an interception. And most importantly, it was fun to see our Patron Saint in a post-game interview talking about Terrelle Pryor. I have no idea what prompted this, and since I am not a journalist, I don't care. The video link below (courtesy of FOX19, via Facebook) is all you and I need...

Adam Jones "Trashes" Terrelle Pryor

I only wish that there was a way for him to have made it rain also.

Pac Man Fever

After being out of the NFL for what seemed like forever, our Patron Saint made his return Sunday against the Cleveland Browns starting in place of the injured Terrence Newman. Although his numbers were not incredible, the Cowboys did win 28-10 and Pacman and his compatriots held the vaunted Browns passing attack to 114 yards.

Pacman's stats - 1 tackle and 0 assists on defense. He also handled 2 punt returns at a 4 yard average.

As he becomes settled into a rhythm of playing every week, Pacman is sure to explode.

Beep, Beep, Beep....

It was the only title I could think of to describe a backup...In this case, backup QB.

Okay, the site has been dormant for a while, and I have been absent through name changes to our Patron Saint, reinstatement for our Patron Saint, Grand Jury testimony by our Patron Saint...You get the picture. Part of the problem is laziness. Some of it is vacation. Some of it...well, it's just not defensible.

No matter, we are back and we are talking about someone I have loathed for most of my adult life - Brett Fucking Favre.

If you read the phenomenal piece by Big Daddy Drew (yes, I know he doesn't use that anymore) at Deadspin, you now understand the ABC's of hate. And I agree with every hate filled word. More, as a Chicago Bears fan, there is no one that I hate more than Brett Favre (and his ridiculously spelled name) ! I have always thought that the media sucked from his ass more than should be allowed. I have always believed that his career has been a long series of very good games where he threw 7 to 10 balls up for grabs (and several for interceptions). I have never liked that he became a crossover marketing sensation. And I hate that for nearly two decades, he has been the face of my arch rival.

But, do you know what I hate more? That since Brett Fucking Favre made his first start as QB for the Green Bay Packers in 1992, my beloved Bears have had 49 different people from week to week under center. Twenty three different starting QB's in 15 years. It is so depressing to look at the names and think about the ineptitude.

Who remembers such names as Peter Tom Willis from Florida State (anyone with three names should be assraped with a telephone pole, then killed by angry Costa Rican Nationalists); or Dave Krieg, who was 78 years old when he started for America's team; or Cade McNown of parking ticket fame; or Shane Matthews (Shane? As an NFL QB?); or small handed Rick Mirer?

Do you know any of the following names: Henry Burris, Moses Moreno, Eric Kramer, Steve Stenstrom, Jonathon Quinn, or Chad Hutchinson? They all have started at QB for the Chicago Bears. I will now weep uncontrollably.

I don't really have anything positive to put in this post so I will end with this...I really hate Brett Fucking Favre and I hope that he doesn't end up playing for my team. But at least didn't play for the Boston Red Sux.
