Choke Job: The Raiders
Jamarcus 180 yds, McFadden 46yds, the look on Al Davis' face when Mike Shanahan made it 41...priceless
Last night’s showing by the Raiders was pathetic. They got their fucking asses handed to them by the Denver Broncos. I hadn’t seen a whopping that bad at home since the Patriots went to Texas Stadium last year. Jamarcus Russell showed a few flashes of brilliance as did Darren McFadden. Fargas was solid as usual—but other then that the Raiders were GARBAGE. The receivers couldn’t hold on to the ball if their lives depended on it–let alone a first down.
My favorite part of the night was the split screen shot of Shanahan and Davis. Mike Shanahan makes no attempt to hide his contempt for Al Davis.
The Broncos Defense hasn’t looked this good since Karl Mecklenburg and Dennis Smith roamed the sidelines as the Orange Crush–and Jay Cutler is quickly proving there can be life after John Elway (G.O.A.T.).
The Raiders need to just pound the ball. Hand it off to Fargas and McFadden 75% of the time and set up for the play action. Luckily all I needed from McFadden yesterday was .14 to win my fantasy football game and he delivered.

Austrailia hates the US?
I'll let you decide
I knew the Medal count post was sure to stir up at least a little controversy. Seems like a reader from Australia thinks that Gold is the only measurement of Olympic success.
Historically medal winners have always been recorded with gold medal priority. In fact I’m not sure I was familiar with the term ‘medal count’ before these olympics. Previously so far as I was aware, it was always “medal tally” or the like and weighted by colour. Just to show this, I thought I had a look around at news sites for countries who would have ranked higher with a non colour specific medal count and couldn’t find any that had the medals listed in the same order as they are in the US.
for example:
Brazil (23rd on Medal Tally vs 17th on Medal Count)
http://esportes.terra.com.br/pequim2008/interna/0,,OI3068380-EI10378,00.htmlAustralia (6th on weighted medal tally vs. 5th on medal count)
http://www.smh.com.au/olympics/beijing-2008/medal-tally/France (10th on weighted medal tally vs. 7th on medal count)
http://sport.lejdd.fr/jo-2008/medailles.htmlNow if anyone knows how to twist facts for their advantage, it would be old Fidel, but surprisingly, even though Cuba rangs 28th on the weighted medal tally, while 12th on the medal count they still have a weighted medal tally on their websites:
http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/eventos/beijing/lid/medallas/index.htmlIn fact I would be very surprised if having dug up some American websites from four years ago that they themselves didn’t have colour weighted tallys.
Everyone knows that Gold medals are worth more, and always have.
Any Americans can always take comfort in the fact that America won more medals per capita than China… hang on I don’t think that Americans do very well with that either:

Sorry Australian guy but I disagree with your assessment. Considering the subjective matter that is Olympic judging I’d have to say that Gold is not the only thing that matters and is not the only measurement of success. Regardless the Chinese cheated…
Chris Simms to be signed
Brady will undergo an MRI tomorrow
According to sources Chris Simms (Phil Simms’ son) will be signed by the Patriots in order to sure up their QB depth chart in case Brady is in fact out.

the hit
felt across the world
I just heard the NFL doesn’t plan to fine or suspend the goon that took out the greatest Quarterback in the last 10 years (yes…I love my Patriots but Elway is still the best). This was definitely a dirty hit…even if he didn’t mean it–it was still fucking irresponsible of him. You should never ever ever ever go at Brady that way, never go at any Quarterbacks legs for that matter. This is fucking bullshit.

RIP PATRIOTS 2008-2009
Tom Brady Torn ACL
And here it is:
WEEI’s Ron Borges is reporting that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady suffered a torn ACL today, citing an NFL source close to the situation. If true, Brady is likely done for the season.
If it wasn’t for my Fantasy Football league I’d probably give up on Football for the season. This Brady injury is likely to put me into a deep depression. Haters rejoice…you got what you want.

Olympic Cheater
Horse Caught Doping
Denis Lynch missed the showjumping final in Hong Kong after his horse Latinus failed an initial test.
The rider admitted using a cream which contained a banned substance but insisted he had not attempted to cheat.
Lynch has told Horse Sport Ireland he will attend a hearing to explain why he used the lotion containing capsaicin.
The 32-year-old admitted using a Deep Heat-style lotion containing the ingredient on the horse’s lower back.
A three-member panel of world equestrian’s governing body, the FEI, has been appointed for a hearing which will take place in Switzerland on 5-7 September.
Lynch has been asked for details about the application of the banned substance.
The gold medal hopeful said he has used Equi-Block - which contains capsaicin - for years to loosen up horses’ muscles.
First the Chinese use Kindergartners to win Olympic gold which is understandable because apparently they like cheating over there….I mean what else can explain the Olympic Gold lead…..but now Switzerland? The goodie too shoe of country’s caught doping…not humans…but a fucking animal?

He’s Ready
Tom Brady told WEEI (850am Boston) that leg injury aside he’ll be ready for the first game of the season vs the Chiefs come hell or high water. Confirming what everybody on this earth already knew…he’s a fucking player, and players play to win. Take notes L.T.
