Former NFL Coach Brian Billick Thinks Jerry Jones Should Coach
Liar
Former Baltimore Ravens head coach and current NFL analyst Brian Billick was on FOX Sports Radio when he made the suggestion that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should coach. Billick was talking about different NFL owners when the idea of Jones coaching the Cowboys came up.
“My one complaint or observation for Jerry is at some point that authority that the head coach represents has to manifest itself for the players. Just go down to the sidelines Jerry, be a head coach. Slot ‘HC’ on one of these slash titles you have.
The players need to know you’re right there with them and they know who’s in charge and that’s the structure you have and that’s been successful and he’s been very good at it. But you’re the head coach, stand there on the sidelines, put the headset on and be the head coach.
Players would respond to it. It’s set up that way the way it is right now. There’s a lot of different structures out there and I wouldn’t advocate that for a lot of owners but I think Jerry has that ability the way he involves himself, the way he conducts his team, you know, take the next step.
There’s no question who’s in charge of the organization and that’s the way it should be. But you need that presence, and I don’t mean just coming down on the sidelines in the fourth quarter, shake some hands and clap. To know you’re all in with regard to the day-to-day, gameday, ‘we’re in this thing together,’ what the heck, go coach them you know you want to. Just go ahead and coach them.”

New England Patriots Brandon Spikes Goes Online & Creates Sex Video
What About The Kids Brandon?
New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes went on the online site Chatroulette, a website that pairs random strangers from around the world together for webcam-based conversations, getting oral sex from some woman in his hotel room.
Early on there was some dispute as if it really was Spikes until his agent, Terry Watson, released a statement about the embarrassing situation. The Patriots meanwhile “had no comment” and the NFL is investigating it.
The NFL’s personal conduct policy states that all persons associated with the league are required to avoid “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League.”
Spikes, who turns 23 on Friday, was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the NFL Draft in April.

Already Head & Shoulders Above The Rest Of The Game
The Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders where in attendance at a Double AA Trenton Thunder game, minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees, along with Swoop for Football Kickoff Night to sign some autographs. But little Tommy was present and he had his swag on.
After the cheerleaders threw out the first pitch they made their way over to the wall to sign for fans but little Tommy came over and flipped the script instead asking if they wanted his autograph. The cheerleaders didn’t really know what to say, but since they were still holding the baseballs from their pitches little Tommy reached over, took one and started signing it. When little Tommy handed it back, he said, “so can I have your number?”
Rick Fox & Kurt Warner To Join ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Taliban Hair
Former NBA player Rick Fox and recently retired NFL player Kurt Warner will join Dancing with the Stars as the pair will make up a portion of the Season 11 contestant list. Fox and Warner hope to continue the success of past athletes on the show but will join a cast that already includes Bristol Palin, the daughter of political firecracker Sarah Palin, and “The Situation,” the dude from the MTV show Jersey Shore.
Fox has been retired for awhile, calling into question his conditioning and Warner was never the most mobile quarterback on the field, so how do you think Fox and Warner will do? Will they continue the legacy of successful sports stars?
Washington Post Sports Columnist Mike Wise Suspended After Tweet
Not Very Wise
The Washington Post has suspended sports columinist Mike Wise for 30 days for intentionally tweeted a made-up story about the length of Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension. He says he was trying to make some hazy point about social media being a vehicle for easily spreading misinformation, which he accomplished. Usually if the Washington Post brand accompanies a report there’s a pretty good reason to believe what you’re reading.
On Monday Wise tweeted that Roethlisberger would be suspended for five games instead of the six games he had initially been suspended for.
“Roethlisberger will get five games, I’m told,” Wise tweeted.
“My bosses at the Post feel I need a month to think about the severity of my actions. I tried to showcase the absurdity of bad journalism. I could give you 10 reasons why I did this and what went wrong in the execution. I made a horrendous mistake, using my Twitter account that identifies me as a Washington Post columnist,” Wise said.
I don’t understand why he just didn’t go with that his Twitter account was hacked.
Head & Shoulders Insures Troy Polamalu’s Hair For $1 Milli
You Asked With Your Eyes Trent, You Asked With Your Eyes
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu hair is being insured by Head and Shoulders for a $1 million policy with the British company Lloyd’s of London.

Talk about trademark.
Former NFL Player Tim Couch To Be Analyst For Fox Sports South
Bust
Tim Couch the one-time University of Kentucky star and former NFL quarterback bust is returning home to begin a weekly gig as an analyst on Fox Sports South’s SEC Gridiron Live, devoted to hitting the topics on Southeastern Conference football. Couch will also work this fall as color analyst for the SEC football games shown on beginning September 4 with Arkansas State at Auburn. Couch’s early view of the SEC is, the West is best and in the East, figures the path to the title runs through Florida.
In 1999 the Cleveland Browns made Couch the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft and now is working in the television industry after lasting only five years in the NFL.
I love how this Sports Illustrated features Couch and Akili Smith and asks if this is the best quarterback class since the infamous 1983 NFL draft class. So I thought I would list the quarterbacks drafted in order for you and ask you to judge for yourself where 1999 compares. Starting with the bust that is Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper, Cade McNown, Shaun King, Brock Huard, Joe Germaine, Aaron Brooks, Kevin Daft, Michael Bishop, Chris Greisen, and Scott Covington.

New York Giants Punter Says Plaxico Burress Stole His Number
Thief?
New York Giants punter Jeff Feagles is accusing Plaxico Burress of another crime and thats of stealing his jersey number. When Burress joined the Giants he wanted to wear No. 17, which belonged to Feagles. The punter isn’t terribly sentimental about numbers and had earlier given up his No. 10 to Eli Manning in exchange for a family vacation to Florida.
Sensing a chance to score another deal, Feagles says Burress agreed, via agent Drew Rosenhaus to pay for a new outdoor kitchen to get the number. But now Feagles says he never was compensated.
“I never got paid for it,” the retired 22-season veteran said. “I asked (Burress) for it. Every time I went to Drew he said, ‘That’s between you and Plax.’ Bottom line, I never got paid. He basically stole my number.”
Feagles no longer has a case since he’s back in possession of No. 17 with the Giants.

Boltman Selling Costume For $75,000
You Can Take The Mask Off Already
San Diego Chargers fan Dan Jauregui or commonly known to his wife as Boltman has tried to auction off two of his suits on eBay for $75,000. Hard to believe no one place a single bid on his suits.
After 13 seasons of dressing up as Boltman, Jauregui is putting an end to his dress up days and said last year would be his last as the guy in the lightning bolt mask. Even harder to image is that there are Charger fans in existence, considering there stadium was just overrun by Dallas Cowboys fans last week in a preseason game and by pretty much every other visiting team that comes to town during the regular season.
