Someone Isn’t Finished With Cristiano Ronaldo Yet

Well, what am I supposed to do? You won’t answer my calls, you change your number. I mean, I’m not gonna be ignored, Cristiano!

You don’t leave Sir Alex Ferguson unless he wants you to leave. Jaap Staam, Ruud Van Horseyface and David Beckham got off lucky. He wanted them gone. Cristiano Ronaldo was a different story. Fergie did everything he could to keep him there but the orange one was determined to go for the money grab. Fergie had a Pete Carroll reaction to Ronaldo’s departure and that should have been the end of it however…

We’re not saying Fergie’s the one who hired a witch doctor to put a curse on Ronaldo but someone did it.

Cristiano Ronaldo is under attack from a witch who has been hired to inflict a serious injury on the Real Madrid star.

It is claimed that a famous figure who knows the winger well has hired the practitioner to cast a voodoo spell.

‘I have nothing against this grand club,’ wrote the anonymous witch in a letter to the El Mundo newspaper. ‘I am a professional and get paid very well for using my powers.

‘I have been contracted so Cristiano Ronaldo suffers a serious injury. I can’t promise that will be, but I can say he will be injured for more time than he plays.

‘The person who has contracted me is famous, and knows the player personally.’

In other words, Jobu no help Ronaldo now. Someone’s about to get all Screwface on his ass.

Ronaldo’s current team, Real Madrid blew off the threat by saying this type of shit happens every day. A spokesman called it “a stupid thing just like all the others Madrid comes across every day”.

Wait until they get a bunch of dreadlocked Jamaicans storming the Bernabeu and Ronaldo gets introduced to Screwface’s sister, Goddess of Fire.

It Was Only A Matter Of Time For Jim Zorn

Yes, FireJimZorn is up and running on the blogger platform, and after that last loss to the Lions, you can’t blame the MongooseLG for starting it. The .com address is just a parked webads page, so that wont get used anytime soon. Oh, and if you like that graphic you can buy it on a t-shirt over in our t-shirt store.

Although, as a Redskins fan, I’m trying to fathom why anyone thinks their offense is supposed to be any good? I mean, hasnt it been garbage ever since Spurrier? They’ve been struggling to get points ever since Marty left town. Lets just say, they are who we thought they are. A team capable of hanging around with anyone…and losing to most of them.

I think that the only way this Redskins season can be considered a success is if we finally stop teasing Dan Snyder with a near 8-8 mediocre season and just tank it horribly, hopefully forcing Danny to clear house of Vinny Cerrato, and all the bloat on the team they can, blowing up the salary cap one year to get everything off the books and to start fresh. I would, however, keep the entire coaching staff because no one who is any good will want to coach this team after destroying it so bad…unless we get Raheem Morris I guess.

Lets hope it will happen this offseason, it can only get worse before it gets better.

It’s official, Chad Pennington is expected to be out the rest of the season. He has a torn capsule in his shoulder, which hopefully won’t end his career. This means Henne will be taking the snaps for the Dolphins. This also probably means less production for Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams because any defensive coordinator with a brain will be loading the box to shut down the run. How effective Henne will be is still anyone’s guess but, based on yesterday’s performance after Pennington was sidelined, the wildcat’s roar might be more like a purrrr.

My fantasy team just can’t catch a break. TO sucks, I gave up and dropped Eddie Royal, and now Ronnie Brown will either be running the entire offense or unable to move the ball anywhere.

But, the person I really feel sorry for is Pennington. His career saw a resurrection in Miami and before going down yesterday, he proved he can still throw the ball deep slinging it over 35 yards. Miami seemed to like his leadership abilities, talent, and demeanor. Not to mention he has always seemed like a really nice guy. My hope is that he will resurrect his career one more time next season. My fear is that the shoulder surgeries in 2004 and 2005 combined with this injury will be too much for him to return from.

Throwback Uniform Irony

Did anyone else find it slightly ironic that the Jets were wearing their throwback New York Titans jerseys while playing the current Tennessee Titans who were wearing their throwback Houston Oilers Jerseys? I know the NFL probably scheduled this intentionally but, I still found it interesting.

Emmitt Smith’s new gigs

So, first Emmitt Smith did that “Just for Men” commercial highlighting (pun intended) his talents seen on “Dancing With the Stars.” I’m sure most of you have seen the commercial, hair dying, hospital gown, terrible acting and all but, just in case, here it is…


Now, the Chilhowee Dance and Permorming Arts Center is using Emmitt Smith to promote and encourage men to take and purchase dance lessons by pointing out that “Real Men Do Dance.” They point this out by going after their real target audience. The wives, brides to be, and daughters. Smart. Basically, they are giving women a talking point when selling dance lessons to the “husbands, grooms and fathers of the bride” in their lives by pointing out that these men will be “anxious to dance” because they saw Emmitt Smith having “so much fun” on Dancing With The Stars. See the blog and link to the Center here. http://http//www.merchantcircle.com/blogs/Chilhowee.Dance.And.Performing.Arts.Center.423-479-2123/2008/10/REAL-Men-Do-Dance-Just-ask-Warren-Sapp-Jerry-Rice-and-Emmitt-Smith-/131582

Let’s get something straight. I am sure most men would agree with me that the only way they can be encouraged to take dance lessons has nothing to do with pointing out Emmitt Smith had fun on a television show where sports stars dance alongside Tom Delay wearing animal prints and tight shiny pants. Especially since most men don’t dance like Hall of Fame running backs. Emmitt Smith: running back, dancer, beard dyer, and savior to brides who don’t want to look like idiots during their first dance? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
