Terry Bradshaw is on Crack

I'm sure everyone remembers Terry Bradshaw leading those great Steelers teams in the 70's, but I doubt anyone ever imagined him walking around naked in a movie in 2006. Well, everyone's nightmare has come true.

Last night on Jay Leno Terry was on promoting his new movie, Failure to Launch. Which brings up an interesting point, why in the hell is Terry Bradshaw doing a movie? The guy doesn't need the money, and he can't even act. Anyways, Terry was constantly moving around and laughing hysterically. Every time Leno told a joke Terry would laugh uncontrollably, then ask where he got it from, and then try and give him a high-five. Terry also said, "Man I'm sweatin!" at least 68 times. He looked like a total goof.

This all leads me to believe that Terry is on the white powder. Why else would the legend quarterback walk around nude in a movie? Crack will do these kinds of things to you, so watch out kids!

This is pretty much just speculation. I would not encourage anyone to spread this rumor around.

My Sweet 16 Predictions

Ahh sweet 16, doesn't everyone remember their 16th birthday? Well I don't, I've still got 5 months until mine. But anyways, I'm going to be breaking down the sweet 16 match-ups and give you my never-put-money-on-these predictions.

#1. Duke
#4. LSU
------------> I like LSU in this one. I think LSU matches up very well with the Dukies (as Glen Davis likes to call them). More than likely, J.J. Redick will be guarded by a very physical and athletic Garrett Temple. Temple will be on Redick like stink on poop. Also, the match-up down low is going to be a good one. Shelden Williams and Glen 'Big Baby' Davis is going to be a hoot to watch.

#2. UCLA
#3. Gonzaga
-------------> UCLA. Adam Morrison and Gonzaga's run will end here. UCLA is too talented for Gonzaga and I just don't think the Bulldogs will be able to hang with the Bruins for 40 minutes.

#1. UCONN
#5. Washington
-----------------> UCONN. Rudy Gay

#7. Wichita State
#11. George Mason
---------------------> This is a tough one. I really like both of these teams. George Mason has had a more impressive road to the sweet 16, but Wichita State did beat 2-seeded Tennessee. I'm going to go with George Mason.

#2. Texas
#6. W. Virginia
----------------> Texas. Texas will be able to shut down the Mountaineers 3-point attack.

#1. Memphis
#13. Bradley
--------------> Bradley. Memphis is a very good team, but I just don't see Bradley going down after already beating both Kansas and Pitt.

#1. Villanova
#4. Boston College
-------------------> Boston College. Villanova is too small to hang with the Golden Eagles. I had BC in the Final Four before the Tournament started so I'm going to stick with that pick.

#3. Florida
#7. Georgetown
----------------> Florida. I really like Georgetown. It seems like they've pulled it out for me when I've wanted them too. For instance, that Duke game back in January. Joakim Noah will be too much for the Hoyas down low.

Should be a great finish to what has been an outstanding tournament!

Stanford Tree Ejected from Game

In last night's women's basketball game, the Stanford Cardinal's tree mascot was ejected for dancing on the floor. Yes, the Stanford Cardinal's mascot is a tree. Why not a cardinal you ask? I have no idea.

But back to the point. The 'tree' was ejected for dancing where he was not supposed to be. Why in the hell do you eject the mascot? I 'd understand if he ran across the middle of the court and stole the ball, but for dancing? I just don't get it.

This isn't the first time the 'tree' has been in trouble. It was recently ejected for a DUI, dancing under the influence. What the hell is the matter with the Stanford Tree? I can just imagine the FSU Seminole coming to the game drunk trying to ride that horse to mid-field in pre-game.

Hey 'tree' you've got to get your act together man. Maybe try laying off the crunk juice, and dancing on the court probably isn't the best idea.

Candace Parker Dunks! Who gives a lick?

Tennessee Volunteer Candace Parker dunked the other day against Army in the NCAA Tournament. I don't know if ESPN just needed some time to kill on SportsCenter, but I must have saw this highlight at least 148 times. It's not that big of a deal. I mean, she's 6'4! Nate Robinson throwin' it down was impressive, because he's 5'7, but a 6'4 woman dunking just doesn't make my jaw drop. For one thing, she barely even dunked it. She pretty much laid it in and then grabbed the rim. If she were to have done a 360 two-hand throw down, I'd give her some praise, but what she did isn't even classified as 'dunking' in men's basketball. And if it was, Jason Kidd would be the greatest dunker to ever live.

They also brought up the question if this was going to bring in more fans. The answer is no. We see players dunking it every game in men's basketball, so what makes them think we care if the women start to do it? Even if they did, it would bring up the question if they were hookin' up with the baseball players swapping needles.

They Don't Call it March Madness for Nothing

Well, there goes my NCAA Bracket. The Bradley Braves from the Missouri Valley Conference defeated my predicted National Champion Kansas Jayhawks tonight. What do I have to say about that? Pretty much nothing, it's actually pretty sad on Kansas' part. This is the second straight year in which Kansas lost in the first round, last year the Jayhawks lost to Bucknell. I would really love to know how many people's bracket around the world just went down the can, cause I know mine just did.

Upset City Saturday: #7 Wichita State over #2 Tennessee

Also, Northwestern State defeated Iowa at the buzzer, and George Mason beat Michigan State. They don't call it March Madness for nothing.

The Moment You Have All Been Waiting For

It is time for my breakdown of the brackets! I know everyone has been patiently waiting for my picks. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY BRACKETS....

I really like Kansas. They are a big physical team who has only lost one game in the last two months. I really believe that they could win it all, it's going to be a difficult task, but I think they could do it. Besides, every other bracket I have seen has either, Duke, UConn, or Villanova winning it all, so why not be different? GO JAYHAWKS!

My sleeper: LSU Tigers
I really like Glen 'Big Baby' Davis and Tyrus Thomas. These are two big guys who could give Duke a lot of problems down low. Also add in shooters Darrel Mitchell and Tasmin Mitchell and LSU could make a big run.

Brees to Saints and Culpepper to Dolphins

The biggest free agents in the market signed today. Drew Brees shocked everyone (or at least me) by signing with the New Orleans 'Aints and Daunte Culpepper is unpacking the swim suit in Miami.

Brees signed a 6 year contract with the Saints, and Culpepper was traded to the Miami Dolphins in return for a 2-round draft pick.

Supposedly, Culpepper will be ready to play by September, which is great news for Dolphins fans. If Culpepper is ready to go at the begninning of the 2006 season, you can say bye-bye to the dominance of the New England Patriots in the AFC East. However, if the Dolphins are without Culpepper for the beginning of the 2006 season you can pretty much count them out for the playoffs.

After all of this, how does it affect the NFL Draft? Well, it looks as if the Saints are getting a 1 for 2 deal. The Saints now have the quarterback who can help them NOW, and they will also be able to improve their defense with DE Mario Williams in this year's draft. Also, Matt Leinart will be reunited with his buddy from USC, Offensive Coordinator Norm Chow (now with the Titans). This leaves the New York Jets (4th pick) with Vince Young. WOW, this is going to be a fun draft.

In other news: The Eagles have released WR Terrell Owens.
The Dallas Cowboys have released WR Keyshawn Johnson
