Bad Football, Good Football

Quote of the day, from the best sports radio personality in the business today (imho), Steve Czaban, while somewhat boldly predicting the San Francisco 49ers to win the NFC West:

"At some point, Ashley Lelie has to prove to be not a turd."

BAD FOOTBALL:

Michigan. OK fine, so Appalachian St. is supposedly one of the best Division I-AA teams out there. Hang your hat on that, if you must. If not the biggest upset in college football history, it's still pretty laughable. But probably the biggest slap to Wolverine nation...


Michigan had to pay Appalachian St $400,000 to visit the Big House!! Thanks for the beat down, here's your cash!!!


Georgia Tech 33. Notre Dame 3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Nothing better than an Irish ass-kicking in front of their holier-than-thou fans while the nation witnesses on their own network. Well, there is one thing better...investing $$ against the Irish as Notre Dame was actually a 2 point favorite!! Doesn't get any easier.


Notre Dame will always have its backers, which deflates the line in Vegas. And anytime they play a good team, they lose. Book it. Charlie Weiss's next win against a Top 25 team will be his first. But he gets a contract extension while Tryone Willingham was shown the door.

Can't wait until this Saturday when my Nittany Lions will get its chance to completely pummel frosh QB Jimmy Clausen and the Irish. Good times in Happy Valley. Too bad I'll miss it, while I'm busy being one with the wilderness.


Inter-Milan. So my boys won 2-Nil vs. Empoli. They still don't look like the same squad from last year. Suazo has yet to mesh up front with Ibra. Materazzi is out for 4 months. No sight of Crespo. We get smashed by Barca in a friendly. Only 2 weeks in, so I'm not ultra worried, yet. Yet. Gotta dig those new white aways, though.


Toronto FC. So Danny Dichio didn't turn out to be the stud I thought he was. However, when he wasn't looking awkward, he still put the ball in the net, occasionally. But now he's been added to the season-ending injury list along with Jeff Cunningham and Ronnie O'Brien. We may not score a goal until next year. These are the bad times.


Chelsea loses to Aston Villa 2-Nil. Lampard is out. Drogba went down in stoppage time. The "Special One" looks lost. Good news for Liverpool...


GOOD FOOTBALL....




Liverpool 6-Nil over Derby!!! Without #8. Dood...I'm telling you. This is Liverpool's year! Torres up front is a STUD, Babel's flying around, Alonso put 2 in the net Saturday, even Pennant's playing well. The boys are hungry to end the drought. Better yet, they've got the talent and depth to do it.

We are now atop the table to stay. And you'll never walk alone.


Barca. So Eto'o is injured. Big deal. May even be a blessing, since Rijkaard won't have to play games with his line-up now. Just roll out Messi, Ronnie, and Henry up front, and let 'er fly. One big signing for Barca that went a bit under the radar this summer...Eric Abidal from Lyon. Not being familiar with French footie, I'd never seen this guy play. Dude is good. Set up Ronaldhino with a gorgeous cross Sunday.

Michigan St. Did you have the Spartans this week? I did.
