F The 99%, I'm With The 13%

Everyone knows these are confusing times. It can be difficult to know who to trust. However, there is one thing that no one in the Furriners office disputes - and it's not that Justin Bieber never should have cut his bangs, Elijah! - it's that I am a man's man. I like my passing game vertical and the front of the net cleared. Of course, this means I think - nay, I know - that Roger Goodell is turning the NFL into a sissy league. In fact, the only person more of a pussy than Goodell is Harold Ford, Jr. I will not argue about this. It is a fact.

Hence, I was disturbed by the question that I just found on ESPN.com. The question is:

Who is the dirtier player?

A) James Harrison
B) Ndamukong Suh
C) Neither is a dirty player

Like Rick Perry, this is a no brainer. The answer is C. The ANSWER is C. The answer IS C. Anything else is lunacy... like Michelle Bachmann.

So how is that 87% of the respondents picked either Harrison or Suh?!? I will not even elaborate on the breakdown. It does not matter. They are equally and unequivocally wrong. Period. Unless we're playing flag football, which the NFL is getting dangerously close to under the Goodell stewardship, neither is a dirty player.

I am with the 13%. The rest of ya'll can watch Justin Bieber and Harold Ford, Jr. and decide who would prevail in a fight between those two. FYI: my money would be on Bieber.

1-2-3, WHITE HOUSE!!!

1-2-3, WHITE HOUSE!!! was a chant created by Charles Woodson after the Packers beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday to earn a spot in Super Bowl XXV.

I guess he came up with it as a response to President Obama picking the Chicago Bears over their hated rival in the NFC Championship game. In fact, prior to the chant, Woodson said:
President [Barack Obama] don't want to come watch us play in the Super Bowl? Guess what? Guess what? We'll go see him. White House on three.

Good stuff. However, I will say that it is not lost on me that the Packers opponent in the Super Bowl will be the Pittsburgh Steelers and their star OLB, James Harrison, who famously has declined two invitations to the White House explaining:

If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl.

Apparently, Mr. Harrison may not realize that the White House invitation is a reward for the Super Bowl champions, not a perk for the POTUS. (It does make one wonder what James Harrison got on the Wonderlic test?!?)

Anyway, it would be nice to see Charles Woodson, a Heisman Trophy winning star of the 1997 NCAA champion Michigan Wolverines, get a Super Bowl ring. Good luck, Charles!

1-2-3 White House!!! indeed.

ESPN Thinks Brady Quinn Is Going To Start!?!? I'm Shocked.

I don't know who Bill Williamson is - but he is quoted at ESPN.Com with:

"There is no timeline for Quinn to take over, but Denver clearly sees something in the 25-year-old slinger. Again, Orton is not in immediate trouble, but teams who are completely sold on their 27-year-old quarterbacks usually don't trade for younger ones."

That said, there is also an article in which Coach Josh McDaniels states there is "no question" that Kyle Orton is the starter.

Bottom line: Brady Quinn sucks no matter how much Jon Gruden or Tony Kornheiser wish it were not the case.

Return To Glory? Yes.


Those of us who have knowledge of the Phoenix area are well aware that the Cardinals are on the downward spiral. I mean, in 2009, the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl. In 2010, they did not. That is just a fact.

So, I would be lying if I didn't admit to speculating that the Cardinals have pushed Kurt Warner out the door because of the mere possibility of acquiring Derek Anderson. That the Cardinals ended up getting Anderson for a contract that is more befitting a scrub like Charlie Whitehurst is mere gravy! Actual quote from FootballNewsNow.Com:

"Whitehurst agreed to a two year deal with the team that will pay her $5 million-per-year."

Let's just say that I don't know anyone who is questioning the genitalia or chromosome makeup of 2007 Pro-Bowl QB Derek Anderson.

So, I guess what I'm saying is: this could be the genesis of an NFL dynasty being born before our eyes. We are witnesses.
