And then there were one and a half

"Ouchers", Derek said as he was escorted (or as I saw it, booed) off the field of Sunday's game against the Colts, who didn't score an offensive touchdown, only a fumble for a TD by this numnuts. 

Ok, the Browns' season was over before this but not only does it put a "snappy" ending to all hope, but it ends this man's reign.

So now with that out of the way. How do we salvage the season. And by salvage, I mean put an actual QB in that QB position. There are 1.5 options.

Option 1: The "Veteran"

PEOPLE, KEN "Eyebrows" DORSEY IS NOT A VETERAN.

Broadcasters keep calling him that. FACT: He is the oldest QB on the Browns' roster. FICTION: He is good.

Dorsey is only 27 years old and has been in the league for six years. He was on that Miami Hurricane team that lost the National Championship to Ohio State in 2002. NOT A VETERAN.

Option .5: Giving the Wildcat thinger ma-bob a try

Everyone else is using it, just like a teenager would say.

Because remember, this did happen... Josh Cribbs was a college quarterback... for Kent State.


So, which would I choose...

Damn Right.

Taking Off the Sports Hat for a Second...

I like to avoid the "pop-culture" scene, as those days have passed me by. No more TRL for me, I would rather watch the History Channel (in HD of course).

But, sometimes... sometimes things so monumental happen. You experience them and they change your life. Well, Japanese Metal has changed me. For the better? Well, we will have to see.

I hope this makes the turkey go down smooth. Happy Thanksgiving (not that there are ANY Thanksgiving undertones here).


UPDATE:

Apparently, this sensation has a slight following. And someone took the time to play the song backwards, KISS style. And the lyrics are disturbing. No one has ever sounded like a cross between Timmy from South Park and Animal from the Muppets while chanting "Hug the Moose." EPIC.

NFL Week 13 Pick 'em

Weekly Top 4 "T"s

Tuesday starts with T, you know what else starts with T…

1. Tough Sport, even without the silly rules

Hockey is tough enough. Trying to score on the other goalie can be cumbersome for most. But here is Ryan O'Byrne of the Montreal Canadiens making scoring easy. Too bad no one wanted to celebrate with him. Ryan O'Bryne tries to pass the puck back to his goalie who obviously isn't there and ties the game up. The Islanders go on to win in a shootout.


2. Trampoline+Cheerleader=GET OUTTA DA WAY



Check out this Sixers’ cheerleader as she attempts to do something I thought only mascots were supposed to do… risk their lives.

She bounces off the ground and no one really cares except for the fact that she was slowing down the other death defying acts.

3. Teen TV Movies, Kimbo Slice still does have a career after all


He’s back, and wussier than ever. Kimbo has a guest-starring role in the film Drake and Josh: Best Christmas Ever. In it, he plays a believable role as a convict named “Bludge.”

4. This solves a lot of the Grizzles problems, practice is has too much rhythm

Mike Conley… and Guitar Hero, sans guitar.

NFL Week 12 Pick 'em

Its that one special week in the Midwest

OSU v. Michigan

This year the game means squatro (Thanks to my brother for that word)

But Michigan, here is what you can do... PROVE THIS MAN WRONG. SHOW HIM HE MADE THE WRONG CHOICE.

(psst, although he really did make a good call, claps for you Mr. Pryor)

I will be adding to this as we go along this week. And if you have something to add... graffiti away.
Shoot us an email at forthesportsminded.blogspot.com

It really couldn’t matter less this year so… how about a look back a some of college football’s best fans.

OSU fan celebrates Bo Schembechler’s death


This makes Columbus sound like a utopia


Ah… the young ones in Ohio… thought this song before they are taught the alphabet. “We From OHIO”


See, told ya.


I don’t know which is funnier, the gitty laughing or the taser.

NFL Week 11 Pick 'em

Umm... Bears playing Hockey... Need I Say More

Weekly Top 4 "T"s

Tuesday starts with T, you know what else starts with T…

HIATUS… Sorry, but its back… and late again.

1. Taxidermy, the gift that keeps on giving

Craigslist is a crazy place. You can find a lot of “things” on there. For example, this:

THAT IS A REAL (FORMER) WILDCAT. And thanks to the great people at Hoop-N-Nannies Taxidermy it is currently on sale for the incredible (it works both ways) price of $1,000. Luckily for the “manufacturer” with just a quick jersey change it could easily be regifted to fans of Arizona, Villanova, Davidson and Kansas State.

2. Tony Oliva, another old person who loves the Nintendo Wii

Here is the boarder line hall of famer and the 1964 AL Rookie of the Year playing his grandson in a game of baseball on the Wii. Again, old people are better at this Wii thing than the kiddies.


3. Tatum Bell brings back his ability to carry (things away) to the Broncos

This after the Lions as cut him as they signed Rudi Johnson. Bell then “accidentally” carried away Johnson’s luggage.

He hasn’t been able to find work in the NFL and was most recently seen selling cell phones in a Denver-area mall.

Bell racked up nearly 2,000 total rushing yards in 2005 and 2006. I just hope Bell makes the best of what is almost certainly his one last chance in the NFL.

4. Theft in the name of love

20-year-old Binghamton University basketball player Malik Alvin has been booted off the team after being charged with shoplifting from an incident on October 26. He was at klepto’s paradise, Walmart and was caught shoving 36 condoms down his pants.

Binghamton basketball players are getting busy…

Then as Alvin was making his escape he knocked a 66-year-old female customer over. She dropped her pills all over the place and he then slipped on them. THAT LAST PART WAS MADE UP, or was it?

Titsworth got... JACKED UP

I am so glad this finally made its way to the blogosphere.

This is from an HBO fight on Oct. 4, the wonderfully named Trenton Titsworth kisses his opponent and love interest Jesse Vargas.

Then is a twist of fate, Vargas breaks up with him and knocks him down. Not only did he hit the mat, but the ref then went on to explain the infraction (in a loud "outside voice) to everyone in attendance.

Laughs filled the arena and then HBO ran back the "kissy kissy" footage in super slo-mo. SCORE.

Evolution of the Phillies World Series' Celebration

Here is a collection of the city of Philadelphia celebrating the World Series. Now complete with "brotherly love."

First, drunk guy climbs a small tree, fails, and is fittingly booed.


Next, a (most likely) drunk guy climbs part of Citizens Bank park. No footage of him falling. Damn


Now a drunk guy climbs a lamp post and is escorted off. With a bottle.


More falling. This after a successful climb. Damn you dismount.


Now, on to parenting in Philly. This mom defends her family with a bat.


This dad almost fumbles his baby while pumping up the crowd.

Best part is that he recovers the fumble and continues his drunken jubilee.

Finally, decent parenting, for Philadelphia at least. How big is Will?


We will end with this. We're going streaking through the quad. Come on bring your green hat.

NFL Week 10 Pick 'em

Barack: Ballin' Outta Control...

Here is our newest, and if I may say, bestest (to my knowledge), president. Barack "Da Rock" Obama, playing a pickup-style game with the number one team in the nation, North Carolina.

Although he missed that shot at the end, he looked like he was part of the team (except those sweatpants).

Its still better than this.

Holy Mother of God, Watch This part II

Philip Lutzenkirchin with a tip from the back of the end zone as he is falling out of bounds saves it to his teammate.
