Kellen Winslow...

People bashed Kellen Winslow II when he said he was one of the premier tight ends in the league, if not the best.

I went to NFL.com to see if the stats prove him right.

Surely enough, he's 9th in the league in catches. He plays in the league's worst offense. Here's the list of tight ends with more catches...

Hmmm...it's empty. Maybe he is a @#$& soldier. My new nickname for him is "GET OFF ME!" because when guys try to tackle him, he shakes them off like "GET OFF ME".

UPDATE:

Through 8 games, Kellen Winslow has 51 catches. That's more than all but two receivers. Period. He would have more yards in a more vertical offense. Kellen is for real people...barring injury.

The crazy thing is...he's still only 23. If he stays healthy and plays 9 years like the senior Winslow, he will be better.

You can quote me on that.

I wish more people felt that way...

What in the hell...

Now, I know the GOP is hard up to retain power in Congress but this is probably the most classless political ad I have EVER seen.

To top that off...it's in Tennessee. Somewhere, an idiot is changing his vote..

and you wonder...

...and people wonder why Ye said that George Bush doesn't care about black people...

CARTHON GONE!

Maurice Carthon is fired..

It's about damn time...the question is, who will replace him. Where's Don Coryell when you need him?

My two favorite teams (Browns and Cardinals) have the two most inept offenses in the NFL. It's not for a lack of talent.

UPDATE 1035 AM:

nfl.com >states: "It's unclear if Carthon quit on his own or was forced out by Crennel, who hired him last year and had been reluctant to remove his close friend."

Bill Clinton

There are only 2 presidents during my lifetime that I feel had a rapport with the common man...well, President Carter did until the b-list actor started his Bullshit Brigade (Morning in America...give me a break). He kept it real when everyone wanted fake. He was like Al Gore with balls.

The other being Bill Clinton. Say what you want about his sexual dalliances (shoot, if I was him and single, I would have spent some time with Monica. Bill and I are both fans of the smart, thick women :-) ) but he's an intelligent and witty guy. I would go have a beer with him.

"They say if you vote Democrat, they will tax you into the poorhouse. And, while you're in the poorhouse you will see a terrorist on every street corner and stumble upon an illegal alien."

"Not So" Ugly Betty...

Salma Hayek had an idea...let's bring the telenovela to the American audience. She also had another idea...I want America to be the lead...as in America Ferrera. Anything that has her in it makes it something I want to see. I LOVED Real Women Have Curves.

But, Ugly Betty?!?!

I can't even think of America Ferrera in the same breath as ugly. She has done great, classy work even though she's only 22. She also had this to say about weight (from IMDB):

"I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie."

Curves are comforting. Curves make you wish for rainy nights and cold, lazy days...but that's another post. I will be checking out Ugly Betty online and watch live (hopefully) next week.
