Clipse : Hell Hath No Fury
Clipse taught me everything I know about selling cocaine. Seriously, they almost convinced me to get into the game! All I need now is a supply chain, a gat and a general lack of fear towards the idea of getting shot in my dome. If I can make that happen, it's Ferraris and Salvador Dali's! OK, nevermind.
All the blog kids and other important music types are talking about Clipse and their new album Hell Hath No Fury. I'm glad, it's awesome. The beats are beyond hot, the lyrics are gritty - it's just plain great. Fluxjob said it best when he described these two as villains . That they've completely bi-passed the anti-hero stage and gone straight into villainy. It's Scarface-like auditory captivation they provide to us non-criminals.
Everyone gets shitty when the indie kids get all hot and bothered over a rap album, but I'll happily take the backlash for "talkin' about shit I know nothing about". Besides it makes me feel tougha than leather when I lowride with this shit bumpin'.
They probably could've replaced Chinese New Year. I think that one is pretty terrible, but other than that it's excellent from start to finish.

2 Talk back to yo' mama!
Tom Brady, on Gillette stadium's new FieldTurf, shook Brian Urlacher out of his jock this weekend on the game-winning touchdown drive. That was about the only thing of beauty in this game. Nine turnovers between the two teams. Asante Samuel accounted for three picks of Rex Grossman. Time for the Bears to think about sitting Grossman down for a game and seeing what else they have. Grossman has gone from unreal to nightmare in no time flat. The Patriots lost Junior Seau for the year with a broken arm. Serves him right for that whole retirement/unretirement shiz. Nooo, I don't mean that...that much.
Carson Palmer is back and has the Bengals back in the playoff hunt. Charlie Frye on the other hand must be his complete antithesis. Braylon Edwards and Charlie Frye got into a jersey pulling tussle on the sideline. Pops called me up Sunday night and, "You make sure in your NFL write-up this week that you stress that Charlie Frye is doodoo! I mean, he is doodoo! You tell them that." You're right Pops, but he ain't the only one.
I told you I like this Roscoe Parrish kid! Damn, what a kick return! Ryan Lindell wins the game for the Bills and this Jacksonville team remains a mystery wrapped inside an enigma wrapped inside of a riddle. J.P. Losman continues to prove me and all the other critics wrong as he looked great again this week.
Hi, my name is L.T. and I can beat your football team by myself. OK, OK, not literally. Well, maybe not. L.T. rushed for two TDs and threw for another - his sixth career TD pass! There are QBs that were drafted in the first round that don't have six career touchdown passes! Don't be confused by the score of this one. Raiders and Chargers hate each other. These teams get fired up to play each other. So, while you might believe that the Chargers should've run roughshod over the Raiders, you really shouldn't be suprised by the tight score.
This was first time in team history the Giants have lost a 20+ point lead in the fourth quarter. I will not take back my criticism of Vince Young after he was drafted third overall, but I will admit that he is winning the battle and proving me wrong. Vince was 24-35 for 249 yards and two TDs. He also had ten rushes for 69 yards and another touchdown. PacMan Jones had two huge interceptions. Tom Coughlin just about had a heart attack. Brandon Jacobs is still a beast. Eli Manning still has a long way to go.
Being the homer that I am, I want you all to know that this Colts team has gone 10-1 without the services (for huge chunks of the season) of Brandon Stokley, Montae Reagor, Corey Simon, Mike Doss and Bob Sanders. They lost Edgerrin James, Larry Tripplet, and David Thorton to free agency as well and they are still 10-1. Now they've lost Dallas Clark for the remainder of the season and probably a big chunk of next season as well. 
Dallas won again on the back of Tony Romo, but the great news is...Mike Vanderjerk has been released! Muwahahahaahahaaha! Martin Gramatica replaces the "Liquored up kicker" in Dallas. Okay, I won't rub it in. I feel for the guy. Wait. No I don't. Muwahahaahahaahaahaha! Seriously, Tony Romo accounted for five touchdowns this game?! Damn! Word is he might be 
Turkey Day and Detroit was just what Miami needed to keep it's winning ways going. Detroit is what any team needs to keep the winning ways going actually. Joey Harringtion returns to Detroit and plays like every Lion fan wished he would've while he was their starting quarterback. John Fogerty performed at half, and while aging, wasn't too bad.
Chad Pennington got laid out in the third quarter and thought he might be done for right there on the field. Jets fans feared they may have lost their starter again. Mario Williams fell on him, pinning one of his arms behind his body. His breath was knocked out of him, but he recovered and managed a pretty good day. Pennington threw for just under 300 yards and accounted for one passing touchdown. Jets kicker Mike Nugent did the rest, accounting for four field goals. Almost as important, the Jets had no turnovers and only one penalty called against them...squeaky clean.
Jason Campbell gets his first win as a Redskins starter and it came against a pretty tough team. Carolina is another one of those riddle teams. One week they look like world beaters and the next, not so much. The Redskins went back to what made Joe Gibbs a Hall Of Fame coach - they ran the ball well and played great defense. Also, Chris Cooley could be the most underrated tight end in the league.
Oh, poor Arizona. Denny Green returned to Minnesota, but was not greeted warmly. Brad Johnson threw for three touchdowns and Chester Taylor ran for 136 yards to help Minnesota get the win. Matt Leinart threw for over 400 yards and the Cardinals got a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by J.J. Arrington on the opening play of the game and a 99-yard fumble return for a score by Adrian Wilson in the fourth quarter as well, but as usual, it wasn't enough.
Wait...this game wasn't played in Green Bay?! Brett Favre and his boys looked like they had home field advantage, at the start, in the Pacific Northwest. Matt Hasslebeck returned to throw three picks and give up one fumble in the first half alone. His fumble was returned by Green Bay for a touchdown. His receivers were terrible, dropping pass after pass. I would cut Jeremy Stevens' ass. That guy sucks. He caught a TD, and it was nice, but he still sucks. Thank God for Josh Brown, Seattle's kicker, otherwise they never would have been in this game during the first half. Shaun Alexander got 40 carries (a Seahawks record) and over 200 yards rushing. Brett Favre showed some ill effects from his injured arm, but he's Mr. Monday Night. MJ and I were talking as we watched Favre. He, of his own admission, is not what he used to be, but he's fearless! Seriously, he throws his body around like it's made of steel. It's not, but don't tell him that. Anyway, the weather cleared up after the half and Seattle found new life. This was one of the better MNF games this season.
When you want to shake your groove thang, and you know I do, this Brooklyn electro-pop foursome is just what the doctor ordered. 
I first saw 
I don't know what is the bigger story, the Colts losing or McNabb tearing his ACL, but since I'm a homer, I'll start with the Colts. Five turnovers in the first quarter alone. This game started sloppy and got ugly. Tony Romo, when it mattered, was simply the better quarterback. Heck, he's been the best QB in the league since he was named the starter. How did this guy not play D-1 ball?! Is he the real deal or a pretender? Parcells believes in him, so I'll trust that. The interesting sub-stories were the amount of balls the Colts receivers dropped. It was a lot! Marvin fumbled, Dallas was out-chucked on many routes, Reggie had grease on the fingertips. It was an off-night for most of the offense. Dwight Freeney looks like he my be starting to wake up a little though. Dallas hit Indy in the mouth and Indy couldn't muster the juice when it mattered.
Brett Favre was knocked out of the game and replaced by Aaron Rogers, but the heir to the throne didn't have much to offer. The Patriots blanked the Packers 35 - zilch. Brady threw for four touchdowns and then took an early rest. He was replaced by Vinny Testeverde at the end of the game. Seriously, Testeverde?! Are there really no other backup QBs out there these days? How old is Vinny Testeverde? First guess, 103. Anyway, the demise of the Patriots is still a long way away. 
The Falcons are in absolute freefall. Jamal Lewis ran for three touchdowns and just under a hundred yards for the Ravens. Nice to see you again Jamal. Glad you woke up. You remember when you were one of the elite running backs in the game? Yeah, you know, right before your conviction. Really though, it was Baltimore returner B.J. Sams that won this game for the Ravens. He returnd six kicks for 212 yards keeping Baltimore in great field position all day long.
We finally saw why the Bucs drafted Bruce Gradkowski and Jason Campbell actually looked pretty good for Washington in his first NFL start behind center. I think if Campbell had running back Clinton Portis and wide receiver Santana Moss for this this game, Washington wins in a landslide. This is the NFL though, and you gotta play through the injuries. Cadillac Williams actually got the engine revving this game and busted off about a buck twenty-five. With Philly and Washington losing again, it looks like the Giants and Dallas will fight it out for the NFC East.
Whoooo, I tell ya, "Ocho Cinco" was right. Get that guy the damn ball and the 'Nati looks pretty good. Chad Johnson had 3 more TDs and 190 yards receiving this game. Johnson yanked his right hammy pretty good, but fought through it. He said he was hurting too much though to perform any post-touchdown hijinx this game. Drew Brees threw for 510 yards and two TDs, but also threw three picks in the loss. He also lost his top receiving option, Marques Colston, to an ankle injury. Reggie Bush also netted 51 yards rushing in the loss for New Orleans.
Argh! Another heartbreaker for my poor Pops. Cleveland led this game for 59 minutes and 28 seconds, but a 4-yard shovel pass from Ben Rothlizzzzleburger to Willie Parker put the Steelers on top at the end. The Browns had a great last ditch hail mary effort in the endzone that Braylon Edwards bobbled out of his grasp. Braylon had a big day with 137 receiving yards, but couldn't haul it in at the end to be the hero. The Browns hatred of their dreaded rival lives on.
Trent Green made his return in this game, but relied heavily on his running back, Larry Johnson, to do the dirty work. LJ rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns. This game also marked the return of Aaron Brooks at QB for the Raiders. If the Raiders are smart, none of the QBs on their team this year will be on it next year. Somebody say "COMPLETE OVERHAUL" on offense. The Raider D really isn't too bad, just overshadowed by how completely inept the offense is. If things aren't bad enough on the offensive side of the ball for the Raiders, they lost starting RB Lamont Jordan to a knee injury in the first quarter and left tackle, former first round draft pick, Robert Gallery to a dislocated elbow later on.
I said it last week and I may not actually be an idiot for it either. Rebirth in Miami! For the second week in a row, Miami wins and like last week, they relied on their defense to do so. Miami got defensive touchdowns from both Jason Taylor and Renaldo Hill. Running back Ronnie Brown only managed 2 yards on 12 carries and Joey Harrington tried to give the game away, but now it doesn't matter, the taskmaster Nick Saban finally has his defense playing with the big boys. Good joke I didn't use: Minnesota RB Chester Taylor had his turkey stuffed early this week. Hahaha! Eh, you probably had to be there.
The Bears played some classic Bears football this past weekend. Run tough, play incredible D and score just enough. Thomas Jones rushed for 121 yards and Mark Bradley managed 80 yards receiving and the Bears only touchdown. It was enough though as the defense kept the Jets off the scoreboard. Brian Urlacher had another big interception this game, this time in the redzone. Nathan Vasher also had a key pick for the Bears to help seal the victory.
Oh Houston! So close. J.P. Losman actually channelled Peyton Manning and led the Bills on a last second 4th quarter touchdown drive to win this game. Lee Evans amassed a team record 265 yards receiving and two touchdowns for the Bills and Pearless Price caught the game-winner in the back of the endzone with only 13 seconds remaining on the clock. Crazy factiod: The game marked the first time the Bills' offense scored three touchdowns since Dec. 4, 2005. Houston DB Dunta Robinson said it best, "If that had been Peyton Manning, you'd expect it," he said disgusted. "But it was J.P. Losman. That's embarrassing. I hope he doesn't feel too good, because we just shot ourselves in the foot." 
Hey! If you're gonna turn your season around, Detroit is a great place to start it. This game marked Matt Leinart's first win as a NFL starter and he looked pretty good in the process, accounting for a passing TD and a rushing one. Edgerrin James even busted loose for 96 yards rushing. he wasn't so thrilled, "It's cool, you know," James said, "but you always want to go over 100." Really, in a battle of havenots, who really cares? You gotta hope that Lions GM Matt Millen will be joining Denny Green at the unemployment office this coming off-season.
Well, I might have spoke to soon on that Giants/Dallas race to the top. I don't know if this is really an upset though. This Jacksonville team has laid some eggs (ahem..Houston twice!), but they're still pretty damn tough when they need to be. They got back to what makes them a really tough team to play, they stuffed the run. The J
