Jeremy Roenick in Vegas
Here's Jeremy Roenick at the Palms hotel in Vegas for the NHL Awards last week. There might be a reason I'm not extremely wealthy...I think I'd most likely be dead by now if I had the kind of money these guys have. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that I only make a 'normal' salary? I'm pretty sure both of those bartenders got it by the way.
Flapjacks Fantasy Football Preview - Top 5 WRs
#1 - Larry Fitzgerald: '08 - 96 receptions, 1,431 yds 12 tds
Larry is about as safe a choice as there is. He tied Calvin Johnson for the most receiving tds last year with 12. He should be right around that total again this year. Even though they lost offensive coordinator Todd Haley to the Chiefs, Arizona still can't run the ball. Which means Fitzgerald and Boldin will be seeing plenty of passes. Can't go wrong here.
2009 prediction - 101 receptions, 1,497 yds 14 tds
#2 - Andre Johnson: '08 - 115 receptions, 1,575 yds 8 tds
He led the league in receptions and receiving yardage last year and should be right near the top in both categories again this season. Assuming his qb (Schaub) can stay healthy for once, Johnson will be in for another monster season.
2009 prediction - 104 receptions, 1,490 yds 12 tds
#3 - Randy Moss: '08 - 69 receptions, 1,008 yds 11 tds
Moss still put up over 1,000 yds and 11 tds without Tom Brady. Luckily for him, Brady is back this season and his numbers should obviously improve. The loss of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels shouldn't' effect the offense too much. Anyone who can't figure out to get the ball to Moss and Welker is a moron.
2009 prediction - 91 receptions, 1,370 yds 14 tds
#4 - Calvin Johnson: '08 - 78 receptions, 1,331 yds 12 tds
Calvin is 6'5, 235 lbs and runs a 4.35 40 yd dash. He's a monster and put up huge numbers with Dan Orlovsky throwing him the ball last year. The Lions have improved their offensive line and their QB play will be better than last year, so Calvin will be in line for another huge season.
2009 prediction - 90 receptions, 1,390 yds 13 tds
#5 - Steve Smith: '08 - 78 receptions, 1,421 yds 6 tds
Smith put up those numbers despite being suspended for the first 2 games last season. He'll be around for all 16 this year (hopefully) so look for more of the same. His 1,421 yds were 3rd in league, although his 6 tds left a bit to be desired. Smith has finished in the top 5 for WRs three of the past four years. Expect Smith to be right around the top 5 again this season.
2009 prediction - 86 receptions, 1,400 yds 8 tds
This Guy is Playing Shaq in HORSE
Shaq has offered Bruce Manley $1,000 to play him in a game of horse. The only rules are that Shaq can't dunk and Manley won't shoot free throws. The game is tentatively scheduled for early July. If Shaq can't dunk, is there any way he wins this game?? There's no chance! Have you ever seen Shaq try to actually shoot a basketball? It's pathetic! I'm putting the mortgage on my boy Bruce!

Brazil Defeats US 3-2
The US lost, which is no surprise to anyone. Brazil dicked around in the first half and found themselves in a hole at the break. They came out in the second half, scored in the first minute and it was on from there.
Brazil outshot the US 24-8. 11 on goal to 4.
Tim Howard is a monster and came up huge. However, when you get bombarded with shot after shot, there's only so much you can do.
Terps 2009 Football Preview: Game 5
These girls are ugly enough and then they put on purple and orange. How about the clown in the back trying to get in on the photo opportunity, I hate Clemson.10/03/09 Terps vs Clemson (ACC, 4-4, Overall, 7-6)
2008: Terps Won 20-17
Review and Preview: Clemson had an extremely disappointing season last year, starting out the season ranked #9 in the pre-season polls (goes to show how much those mean) and ended up in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl against Nebraska. Their QB led the ACC in passing (200 yards per game) and CJ Spiller led the ACC in All-Purpose Yards. They had a close game with the Terps in College Park, getting shutout in the second half by the Terps and losing 20-17.
Both teams seem to play extremely well as the away team in this match up. The Terps have looked very good in Death Valley and Clemson has shown their ability to play well at Byrd Stadium. This worries me since we happen to be the home team in this one. It could come down to the running game on both sides. James Davis and CJ Spiller versus Da’Rel and Meggett. Which run game can have a game breaker? Which running game won’t turn the ball over?
The Pick: Clemson had the 36th ranked run defense in 2008 and the Terps were 71st. Not f*cking good for the Terps. I think CJ has a big day with too much speed for the Terps defense. Along with a Terps loss I also predict my drunken blackout to occur during the post game show. Terps lose 24-17. (ACC, 0-1, Overall, 4-1).

9/26/09 Terps vs Rutgers
2008: Did Not Play, Terps won 34-24 in 07’
Review and Preview: Who can forget Chris Turner’s coming out party in 2007 in Piscataway, New Jersey against the 10th ranked team in the land, Rutgers? In case you did let me recap. After Jordan Steffy struggled in the 1st half Big Ralph made the best move of his coaching career and put Chris Turner in for the second half. All he did was go 14-20 and threw for 149 yards to lead the Terps to 20 points in the second half. That’s right, the goofy Napoleon Dynamite look a like sent #10 Rutgers, 40,000 dirty Jersey fans, Ray Rice and his mom home crying.
Rutgers is losing their QB and two top wide receivers, but they return all of their offensive line and they are pretty damn good. I did a lot of research and found most people have Rutgers picked to win the Big East (which isn’t saying a helluva a lot), and college football genius Phil Steele has them ranked #16 in the country. However, what happens when Rutgers gets near the top of the mountain? They get their asses thrown back down to the bottom. Ranked #10 twice in two years, they lost to Cincy and the Terps.
The Pick: Lets be honest here, we aren’t talking about basketball where it was a legit argument the Big East was better than the ACC. We are talking about football and the Big East is weak and overrated. The game is at Maryland, where unless we are playing Florida State, we are going to win. Close game though, Terps win 28-24. Terps (ACC, 0-0, Overall, 4-0)

Flapjacks Fantasty Football Preview - RBs 6-10
#6 - Steven Jackson: '08 - 1,043 yds 7 tds. 379 rec yds 1 td
The major concern here is whether or not he can stay healthy. There is no doubt Jackson can produce when he's on the field, but he only played in 12 games each of the past two seasons. Although he did still put up over 1,000 yds in each of those seasons. Look for him to be more involved in the passing game too, now that Holt is gone.
2009 prediction - 1,200 yds 10 tds. 420 rec yds 2 tds
#7 - LaDainian Tomlinson: '08 - 1,110 yds 11 tds. 426 rec yds 1 td
Last year was concerned an awful year by most for LT and he still produce over 1,500 total yds and 12 tds...not bad. He's motivated after his dispute with management and Sproles will help keep him fresh. He may not be the sexiest of picks, but he does produce.
2009 prediction - 1,250 yds 10 tds. 300 rec yds 1 td
#8 - Frank Gore: '08 - 1,036 yds 6 tds. 373 rec yds 2 tds
Injuries can be a bit worrisome with Gore. He missed 2 games last year with an ankle injury and was in an offense that passed 56% of the time and still produced. With a new offensive coordinator with a run first mentality, Gore should see the ball plenty.
2009 prediction - 1,200 yds 8 tds. 350 rec yds 2 tds
#9 - Steve Slaton: '08 - 1,282 yds 9 tds. 377 rec yds 1 td
Slaton was a huge surprise last year as a rookie. He is tiny, listed at only 190 lbs and concerns of durability are there. I'm not sure if he'll get quite as many goal line carries this year as Kubiak has said he wants to rest Slaton a bit more so he doesn't wear down. At #9 though, I think Slaton is a great pick.
2009 prediction - 1,150 yds 7 tds. 360 rec yds 2 tds
#10 - Chris Johnson: '08 - 1,228 yds 9 tds. 260 rec yds 1 td
Fantastic when he gets an opening. Probably the fastest back in the NFL, while averaging 4.9 yds per carry. The biggest concern with Johnson is the presence of LenDale White, who had 15 tds last season. Chances of White scoring 15 times again isn't likely, but it's still a concern. Johnson will produce regardless of White's role and at #10 is a great value.
2009 prediction - 1,250 yds 8 tds. 200 rec yds 1 td

Shaq Going to Cavs
Thats right, the picture on the left is a preview of what the Cavs are going to look like next season. Shaq is going to the Cavs and next year's NBA season is shaping up to be an entertaining one. I'm pretty sure all Shaq needs to do for the entire regular season is stay in shape, shoot free throws and hook shots at practice, and play one game every five to ten games just to stay fresh. Lebron can carry the Cavs into the playoffs as a 2 or 3 seed, and then they can unleash Big Diesel in the playoffs.
With that said I don't think this alone will make them the clear cut favorite, but it sure as hell puts them in the conversation. Spurs, Cavs, Celtics, and Lakers are the top contenders, and watch out for the Knicks of course. The draft could also have an impact, so stay tuned for that tonight.
Terps Football 2009: Game 3
9/19/09 Terps vs Middle Tennessee State 3:30pm. 2008: Beat Terps 24-14
Review and Preview: How the hell did we lose to the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee last year 24-14? Chris Turner had 3 interceptions and was sacked 3 times by “The Swarming and Punishing” Blue Raider defense. Although Darrius Heyward-Bey had an 80 yard touchdown reception, he only had 2 other receptions for a total of 10 yards. Middle Tennessee must have had a helluva scout team doing research for their defense that week. Enough of the terrible loss and on to the preview.
The Blue Raiders have a Sophomore QB named Dwight Dasher, who is going to try and cause some havoc for the Terps defense by running the ball (he had one start as a running back in 2007). Obviously this guy thinks he is the Michael Vick of the Sunbelt Conference, so the Terps are going to have to prepare their defense for this clown.
Look for the Terps wide receiving core (Averaging 6-0, 192) to have a significant size and strength advantage over the Blue Raider corner backs (Averaging 5-9, 175). I expect Chris Turner to torch this Blue Raider defense and avenge last year’s loss. The 22,605 fans in attendance at last years game at Middle Tennessee was their sixth largest all-time. Expect a Byrd Stadium at almost maximum capacity (51,000+) since the loyal Terps fans will not forget last years loss. Click Clack Bitches!
The Pick: Terps win 28-6. Terps (ACC, 0-0, Overall, 3-0)
