“Now that is a disgusting act by Randy Moss.” Who can forget where they were when Joe Buck expressed the disgust of a nation after Randy Moss pretended to moon Packers fans? Won’t someone please think about the children? Imagine his reaction upon seeing Mirko Vucinic strip off his shorts and wave them over his head like a lasso.

What is it with people thinking video needs crap music instead of the original sound? Too bad Vucinic doesn’t play for Lazio. The poster could have put his goal celebration to “Accidental Racist“.

Let us be the first to say that Brandi Favre should be congratulated. The name Brandi condemns the name’s owner to a life on the pole. Actually Brandy does too. Too bad someone didn’t tell her that not shaking her ass for yahoos who make it rain with quarters doesn’t mean she has to work in a meth lab.

Favre, Brett’s sister, was arrested along with four others after being found in a condo with a working meth lab.

Brandi Favre, 34, Urban Favre Road, Pass Christian, was charged with manufacturing of methamphetamine and generation of hazardous waste, both felonies, said Sgt. Abe Long.

It was surprising when two Georgetown University students were caught running a meth lab in their dorm room. This arrest? Not so much. Hopefully Brett didn’t text her pictures of his dick instead of a message of support. “Aw damn, Brandi. My bad. Just thought, you know, you might be alright with that.”

The US needs to send another carrier group to the Taiwan Strait. Forget hegemony. It’s all about making sure Taiwan keeps pumping out animation like this. Chiang Kai-skek’s people outdid themselves on this one.

And since I brought it up…

First they don’t want to play outside because the ground’s too hard. Now they don’t want to play inside because their dome can’t keep it up. People, including former players, are getting tired of the Vikings complain about their situation.

Vikings players expressed concerns about the University of Minnesota’s stadium playing surface through Twitter. They took pictures and hoped there aren’t any catastrophic injuries during their game against the Bears. Other players have commented to local and national media about the same concerns. Team management decided to get on the bandwagon and express concerns about playing in the Metrodome next year.

“This is Minnesota. It snows. We’re a hearty bunch. We deal with it. Some people would say, ‘Well, a couple of shingles come off the roof, you don’t build a new barn.’ Well, the roof collapsed (at the Metrodome). We have concerns about the safety of the facility going forward. We’ll deal with that after the game, as well as we’ll deal with the financial and economic impacts of what happened.”

Asked if he was intimating a scenario that would keep the Vikings from playing at the Metrodome in 2011, Bagley said, “No, I’m saying we have concerns about the safety and viability of that structure going forward. We’ll deal with that in the near future.”

A “hearty bunch” that plays in a heated dome. Green Bay, Chicago and New England have no problem playing in the elements. Real football fans don’t want to hear complaints about the cold and snow. They’re not the only ones. Former Vikings who played outdoors at Metropolitan Stadium don’t want to hear it either.

“You’ve got to learn to tough it up,” said former running back Chuck Foreman, who played for the Vikings from 1973-79. “That field will be perfect to play on. That’s the way the game has been played for years. These guys get spoiled. Go out there, embrace the weather, enjoy it. Just keep yourself warm. It’s all mental.”

…[Vikings coach Leslie] Frazier, who played through plenty of blustery outdoor games at Soldier Field as a Bear from 1981-86, said the field will be safe and that players shouldn’t be concerned.

“I think our players will embrace (outdoor tradition) as the game goes on,” Frazier said. “They’ll be into it.”

Back in the Bud Grant era, players weren’t allowed to wear gloves or hover around heating systems on the sideline.

All they got was a cape to go over their shoulders, and even those didn’t work, former Vikings wide receiver Ahmad Rashad said.

According to him, the Vikings of the late ’70s never became consumed with the cold.

“If you get caught up in how cold it is or the field’s too hard or you can’t get your cleats in the field, you’ve got no shot,” Rashad said. “It’s the same for both teams; you just have to go out there and execute.”

Facilities might be “perfect” for today’s athlete, Rashad said, but a frozen field can actually lessen the impact of violent hits.

“It’s hard to get hurt because it’s harder for people to get leverage on a hard surface,” he said. “It’s tougher on Astroturf when you can get all that torque. There’s no torque on a frozen field.”

In other words, man up and play ball. Maybe the grounds crew can pour lava on the field at random times to heat things up and keep things interesting. Lava or flaming cauldrons of oil. I’m not picky.

LeBron Invokes The Name Of Favre

Last night the Heat beat the Bucks in Milwaukee by 10, 88-78.  Before the game, LeBron James was asked if he can relate to Brett Favre because he too is hated by the team, city and/or state where he once played. LeBron’s answer was…typical LeBron.

“Brett (had) great years here in Green Bay, and any time a great competitor like that leaves, no one wants to see that, but they’ve done a great job of regrouping with Aaron Rodgers and I believe that Cleveland will do the same,” James said.

Thats our Bron Bron!  He was asked if he could relate and he said “any time a great competitor like that leaves, no one wants to see that”.  Sure no town wants to see their best player leave town, but c’mon the two situations and how they both went down were a little different.

Brett Favre, for all the crap he gets for what he’s done lately, did actually win a championship in Green Bay, a city as far from his hometown as can be. Also, Favre left town after being there for the vast majority of his career, winning said championship, waffling on retirement then essentially getting pushed out the door because the GM wanted to play his young backup quarterback who was going to split town if he didn’t get the chance to start over the old man that he was (and is) CLEARLY better than at this point in both their careers.

LeBron, on the other hand, left his hometown (or real close to it at least) in the prime of his career, without winning a single championship, to go play with his friends.  Meanwhile, his former team was left with a shell of a non-competitive roster in place and is facing the lottery for the conceivable future since their entire team is made up of players meant to compliment a player whom is no longer there…LeBron.

Sure, Cleveland will get over it just as fast as Green Bay!  Its totally the same situation! You are basically the black Brett Favre!

Well, come to think of it, while the situations for their departures from their former teams were different, the players themselves are kinda similar.  Both of them have to be in the top ten list of most selfish players in their respective sports, both of them whine a ton on their playing fields, and both of them are probably some of the most narcissistic and non-self aware people on the planet.

He might just be Black Brett Favre.  When do the Wrangler commercials start airing?
