Even In The Off Season Rex Ryan Slaps The Dolphins
Rex Ryan the head coach of the New York Jets has already told the world to get the parade routes for his team ready after they won the Super Bowl they never won. He’s even told his players that the new stadium they enter in the upcoming season should be named the “New Jets Stadium.” In Ryan’s exit interview with his players he told them to wear there Jets apparel with pride and if someone should snicker to just punch them in the face.
Quotes like those would will a whole season from the majority of NFL coaches but from Ryan they all have come within a week. It seems Ryan wanted to add a few more classics before we even flip the calender from January to February.
Ryan was in attendance to see Herschel Walker’s MMA debut on Saturday down in Miami and during a TV interview he was booed when he let Dolphins fans that the Jets would be coming around to beat them twice next year. Well comments like that don’t necessary sit well with the hometown fans especially being done in front of a national TV audience and they began to boo him mercifully. Ryan added the second gem of the night by turning towards the bleacher crowd and flipping the bird. (Click here for picture)

Washington Nationals Pitchers Fight Over Barry Bonds Record Breaking Home Run
Home Run KING
Former Washington Nationals and Duncanville, Texas native Mike Bacsik wants the world to know he didn’t groove a fastball to Barry Bonds, it’s just that he’s not a very good pitcher.
Bacsik, the pitcher known for serving up home run number 756 to Bonds, and nothing else, was called out by former teammate Tim Redding this week, who told Sirius XM’s MLB Home Plate that he thought the ball was served up so Bacsik could be part of history.
“I mean, the guy that gave it up, I never want to speak ill of anybody,” Redding said. “Mike Bacsik is a stand-up guy. He’s a little quirky, but he’s a nice guy, means well. I think he wanted to give it up. And he can say what he wants in defense or what not, but doing the chart, I mean, every ball that Barry hit, the ball was center cut, right down the middle, fastball. You know, I think maybe inside he was thinking he was going to get a little bit more publicity. Maybe, you know, publicity and some money out of it, appearances, stuff like that.”
After Redding got back to Bacsik he sarcastically called Redding a “good teammate” on Twitter and took a few more shots at him, including:
“If somebody would have asked me, what teammate will say you tried to give up a homerun? After laughing my answer would have been Tim Redding.”
Bacsik also admitted that, he “was crappy enough to do it without trying,” in reference to serving up the historic home run.
The funniest thing in this story is the fact that Redding pitched the next day and served up a first inning home run to Bonds.
Does this even matter since we already give all the credit of Bonds home runs to steroids?
WTF: Nike
Perfect Timing
Yes Kobe Bryant is the front man in the ad for Nike but they all the creative control. So Nike is the “Prepare for Combat” and the following quote at the bottom of the poster coming at the right?
“I’ll do whatever it takes to win games. I don’t leave anything in the chamber.”
Especially in the wake of Bryant’s former teammate Washington Wizard Javaris Crittenton, one of the two Wizards players suspended, pleading guilty to a gun charge after he brandished a loaded gun and chambered a bullet during a locker room confrontation with Gilbert Arenas.
The Gay Ads Rejected By CBS
CBS has recently caused a controversy by agreeing to accept the finances of the Christian group Focus on the Family to air a pro-life Tim Tebow ad, to air during the Super Bowl.
But what you probably unaware of is the two ads that CBS has rejected and they both involve gay content. The first ad is from Mancrunch.com a gay dating site but was told that CBS was sold out of all its spots, even though that is not the case.
The other ad comes from GoDaddy.com about a retired football player named “Lola,” who is very flamboyant that launches a lingerie line and Web site in his retirement. Go Daddy race car driver Danica Patrick also appears in the ad in a narrator role.
Do you think CBS is playing moral god with its Super Bowl ads?

Kurt Warner Retires From National Football League
Never Giving Up
Kurt Warner has called an end to one of the great storybook careers in NFL history. The 38-year-old quarterback announced his retirement from the game after a dozen years in a league that at first rejected him, then revered him as he came from nowhere to lead the lowly St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls, winning the first of them. Written off as a has-been, he rose again to lead the long-suffering Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl a year ago.
Warner walked away with a year left on a two-year, $23 million contract, knowing he still had the skills to play at the highest level.He had one of the greatest postseason performances ever in Arizona’s 51-45 overtime wild card victory over Green Bay Packers on Jan. 10, but sustained a brutal hit in the Cardinals 45-14 divisional round loss to the New Orleans Saints six days later.
Warner leaves the game with a legacy that could land him in the Hall of Fame even though he didn’t start his first game until he was 28. In a comparison with the 14 quarterbacks to make the Hall of Fame in the last 25 years, Warner has a better career completion percentage, yards per pass attempt and yards per game. Only Dan Marino had more career 300-yard passing games.
In 124 regular-season games, Warner completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 32,344 yards and 208 touchdowns. He and Fran Tarkenton are the only NFL quarterbacks to throw for 100 touchdowns and 14,000 yards for two teams.
He was also the fastest player in NFL history to 10,000 yards passing and tied Dan Marino as fastest to reach 30,000. He has the top three passing performances in Super Bowl history. His 1,156 yards passing in the 2008 playoffs broke the NFL record of 1,063 he set with St. Louis in 1999.
He played three seasons in the Arena Football League and one in NFL Europe, mixed in with a sting stocking grocery shelves back in Iowa. Warner made the Rams as a backup in 1998, then was thrust into the starting role in 1999 when Trent Green was injured.
What followed was a masterful and wholly unexpected season, when he led the Rams to a 13-3 regular-season record, then a Super Bowl triumph over Tennessee Titans. He was named the league and Super Bowl MVP. St. Louis was upset in the first round of the playoffs the following season, but Warner had them back in the big game in 2001, where “The Greatest Show on Turf” lost a squeaker to New England Patriots. The season earned him a second NFL MVP award.
But after an injury-plagued 2002 season, he was sacked six times and suffered a concussion in a 2003 season-opening loss to the New York Giants. He never started for St. Louis again. He signed a free agent contract with the Giants for 2004, but was replaced by rookie Eli Manning after nine games. Warner came to the Cardinals in 2005 and was an off-and-on starter before replacing the injured Matt Leinart part way through the 2007 season.
Warner had to beat out Leinart the following spring, then led the Cardinals to the NFC West crown and playoff victories over Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia before the narrow loss to Pittsburgh Steelers in last year’s Super Bowl, where he threw for 377 yards.
Warner’s departure leaves Leinart the presumed replacement. The former Heisman Trophy winner has started 17 games for Arizona but only one in the last two years.
Man Offers Testicle For Super Bowl Tickets
What Would You Give Up?
I wanna know if this person is serious enough to give up a testicle for some Super Bowl tickets how come he wasn’t listening to Sports Grind Entertainment Monday-Friday 6pm-7pm and Saturdays 11am-1pm for his chance to go “Bowling in Miami”?
It’s a little late for him to go on S.G.E. dime, since we already did the drawing at our sponsor Buffalo Wild Wings Live Oak location, but hopefully it hasn’t cost the New Orleans native his family jewels.
That’s right a Big Easy resident wants to see his Saints so bad in their first trip to the Super Bowl in Miami that he has gone to Craiglist to offer his left testicle.
The “No perverts” is simply a touch of class that brings the entire thing together.

Eastern Washington University Gets $500,000 Donation For Blood Field
Bloods vs Crips
Everyone knows of Boise States “Smurf Turf”, which has been since 1986, it now has a cousin at Eastern Washington University, where they plan on making the field “Blood Red.”
Woodward Field is even getting some help to become an actual reality from former alum and current Tennessee Titans Michael Roos who has pledged $500,000 toward the project. Roos graduated in 2005 with a double major in Finance and Economics and earned All-Pro honors for the Titans in 2008 and selected to the 2009 Pro Bowl. He has started all 80 regular season games as a Titan, plus two playoff games.The Eagles of the Big Sky Conference is hoping that the field will be installed for the upcoming season.
“There is no doubt that one of Boise State’s claims to fame has been their blue turf and like it or dislike it, it has certainly brought them a tremendous amount of notoriety,” EWU athletic director Bill Chaves said.
The NCAA has no provision addressing the color of playing surfaces, at least not yet, because it hasn’t had to consider the issue outside of the relatively obscure venues at Boise State and Division II University of New Haven, which installed its own blue turf last year.
Eastern Washington said the turf installation will save approximately 300,000 gallons of water per year.

San Antonio Spurs Tony Parker Sidelined With Ankle Sprain
More Time For This
San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is expected to miss several games because of a mild left ankle sprain.
The Spurs said Thursday that the swelling in Parker’s ankle was minimal after being carried off the court Wednesday night in a win over Atlanta. No structural damage was found.
Parker won’t play Friday against Memphis and will also likely sit Sunday’s game against Denver. No timetable for his return has been set.
Parker has been troubled by the same foot all season. He missed four games earlier because of another ankle sprain and has been bothered by plantar fascitis.
The injuries have cost Parker the quickness he had last season, when he was an All-Star and led the Spurs in scoring.

St. Louis Rams Steven Jackson Accused Of Beating Pregnant Girlfriend
2 Time Pro Bowler
St. Louis Rams Steven Jackson is accused by his then-girlfriend, Supriya Harris, of beating her until she was “bleeding heavily,” while being nine months pregnant at the time.
Harris says Jackson “forcibly grabbed my arm and flung me against the door” and “continued to shove me against the door until his nephew … interceded and yelled, ‘uncle, she has a baby, stop” during an argument in March 2009.
Jackson took her to a nearby hospital but accordingly to Harris he instructed her to lie and tell doctors that she was injured from a fall in the shower. Ten days after the alleged incident, Harris gave birth to their son and left him four months later after he threatened to beat her up again at a music festival in New Orleans.
The complaint was filed with the Las Vegas Police Department.
