Which Is The Worst Sports Month?

Do you argue for July or February as the worst month of the sporting world?

Check out the arguments here.

Playoff PantsCast Super Bowl Edition

Yes, it works now. If you tried this link and it went nowhere...well, just thank the "geniuses" at Apple.

It is time for the big game and we have a PantsCast to match! I don't want to oversell it, but this might be the best thing anyone has done ever.

That includes the Magna Carta, but doesn't include the outdoor smoker.

Check it out!

Stunner

I was driving around today when I heard the words "Jay Novacek" and "dead" in the same sentence.

As a native Dallasite, naturally I freaked. It turns out it was his wife, but that still leaves me quite stunned. I never rooted for LeAnne Novacek on the football field, yet her alleged suicide by a gunshot wound still feels like something big has been ripped away for NFL fans.

During an era of Cowboys football when players perfected the art of bad boy images and shameless self-promotion, Novacek was a quiet worker. He didn't dance, he didn't talk, he just got open. He went to the Pro-Bowl nearly every year he was in Dallas and became Troy Aikman's go-to guy when a first down was critical.

Cowboys fans loved him and even Dallas-haters had to respect him. He was one of the good guys on a team full of questionable characters. Defenses couldn't cover him, but you'd never hear him tell you about it.

That's why I still stunned by his wife's sudden and violent suicide. Out of all the players on those early 90's teams, Novacek struck me as a man with a solid foundation and a reliable family man. His wife's death may have absolutely nothing to do with him, but out of all the players to have this sort of tragedy happen, Novacek would by at the bottom of the list.

You never wish this tragedy on anyone, but it hurts even more when it happens to someone you admired as the epitome of normalcy. It feels like if it can happen to him, it could happen to me. And that's scary.

Ocho Cinco Gets The Point

I've had multiple people ask me if I'm going to write about how boring the NFL Pro-Bowl is.

No, I'm not.

What's the point? We all know it's awful. The players don't want to play in it. Unlike the NBA or baseball or even hockey to an extent, you can't play football without collisions. These guys have spent the last five or six months slamming into each other. The last thing they want is to do it again. That's why so many players beg out of playing in this sham of an All-Star game.

There's no Peyton Manning, no Drew Brees, Bryant McKinney got kicked off the team because he didn't bother to show up at practice. Does this sound like the ultimate NFL honor? It's a joke.

So how do you make it more interesting? You go to the one man that knows how to make a game more fun.

I beg you NFL, to hire Chad Ocho Cinco as a public relations guy. Unlike the stiff white suits that populate the NFL offices, Ocho Cinco actually knows how to have some fun. Instead of coming up with an excuse as many veterans do, ole 85 is happily down in Miami and he has an idea:

Let him kick.

He wants to kickoff, he wants to kick a field goal? Hell, let him! He's on to something!

No one wants to watch guys play a game they don't care about, that's what the pre-season is for. So let guys do whatever they want on that field.

Let Ray Lewis play running back so he can be on the other end of those collisions. Vince Young wants to try tight end? Sure! Chirs Johnson can be a speed rusher from linebacker. Let linemen play the skill positions. Let the defense play offense and vice versa. Turn the thing into a circus. It will be more entertaining.

And mic the guys up when they're on the sideline. Let them talk to each other. Run the mics through the stadium loudspeaker if you want. If a guy doesn't want to do it, then he doesn't have to do it. If a guy curses, he's out. No more mic. Just take a risk.

It's almost like turning the Pro-Bowl into a WWE event except it's real and these guy can really play. I want to hear them, I want to see them trying new things. Listen to Ocho Cinco, he wants to bring change to America. Or at least the NFL.

PantsCast January 26

What up bitches?

It's time for the Playoff Football PantsCast!

Ridiculous behavior has no bounds!

L.T. Having Fun (And Tempting Fate)

So you may have already seen this cute little dance video made by LaDanian Tomlinson. I found it cute and I heard very little uproar about it across the NFL nation.

What bothers me is the thought of T.O. or Randy Moss doing this video. Would the thing just skate by or would it by the talk of radio and television sports types everywhere?

Just watch the video and imagine Tony Romo dancing around on there:

Not Even The Fuhrer Would Have Enjoyed Leno

Hitler is dead, but I really think this is an airtight case about how the NBC late night fiasco would have played out in Nazi Germany.
