How _I_Think_Manti_Teos_Story_Should_End_Manti_570x300

While Jobu is on vacation, enjoy one of our greatest hits as Jobu takes a light-hearted look at the initial information from the Manti Te’o scandal.

I didn’t want to weigh in on this issue until all the dust had settled, but holy crap is it dusty in here. There’s dust literally everywhere. Could this story get any weirder? Te’o had a girlfriend, then she died. Then, he didn’t have a girlfriend because she didn’t exist. Then, some guy on the Cardinals said she did exist, and that he was her friend, but don’t mess with Troy Polumalu about it! I don’t know how this story is going to end, but I know Lance Armstrong is probably running up and down his hallways singing the Notre Dame fight song and thanking the lord for this distraction. I also know how I would solve this whole issue in one afternoon of television. Continue reading →

Jobu gives his thoughts on the “Bountygate” controversy in New Orleans.

This was, undoubtedly, the biggest story of the weekend, and I feel like it will continue to be a big story for a while, at least until the baseball regular season starts up again. It appears that former New Orleans Saints assistant coach Gregg Williams, who has also been the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins, instituted a program of monitary rewards for knocking targeted opposing players out of games. Like almost everyone I have seen talk about this, I was pretty shocked and appalled by this revelation.

A Few Observations and Random Thoughts From The Hub Of The Universe

Jerry Ballgame is back with another round of Random Thoughts from the Hub!

Is the hair coming back too?

In my Super Bowl post mortem, I touched on the Patriots need for at least one new impact player on both sides of the ball. On the offensive side, that need would be a deep threat, oh say, like a Randy Moss. It was my considered opinion that Mr. Moss must have left all bridges with New England torched beyond all recognition, otherwise I’m sure he would have received a late season text, or tweet, or something. Well, right on cue, the irascible Randy, announced he wanted to unretire in 2012, setting the talk show phone lines in Boston all aglow.If you have read Jobu’s take on the situation, then you have a fairly good feel for the conversation that consumed the airways for a day or two. On the one hand you have a talent who at 35 is still a greater deep threat then anyone on the roster (obtainable for a relatively cheap price), and on the other, you have someone who can destroy a locker room faster than you can say, “practice”. Although I believe at this time it is the second argument that is carrying the discussion, I would not be surprised to see it change come May or so. Belichick has not shown a talent for drafting
fast receivers who can catch, so if they feel Randy has learned
his lesson, Mr. Moss may once again roll into Foxboro.
